I managed my Problem by adding a wrapper which manages the access of the tree.
Thanx for the helpful infos.

Thanx for the reply!
So would it be alright from the perspective of modelling the
application, that i create a
field children in each class, that hold references to all of its childs
that i want to display?
I thought that the treedatadesciptor would be responsible melting the
children to display
together. But the classes themselves are responsible for providing an
access to the childs
to be displayed?
Sorry if my english ain't that good. I'm from Germany and i may need to
refresh grammar
and vocab ;)

Actually, you don't want to do either option. You want to implement
getChildren to return a separate array collection for each collection

children. This is because the individual sets of children are tracked
an managed by the tree so you can't reuse one collection instance, and
you should not return different instances for the same set of
children,
otherwise one part of the tree code will make changes that some other
part will not notice. Look at the default descriptor and see that it
caches the AC instances per node/children set

Subject: [flexcoders] ListCollectionView#removeAll wants to dispatch
undefined
Currently i write a lil' component to display class hierachies. I
wrote
my own
TreeDataDescriptor. SInce i work with my own class-, packages- and
interface-descriptor
classes to describe the structure, i encapsule some ArrayCollection.
In
order to display the
structures in a tree, i need to melt them together in one
ArrayCollection. So far so good...
Since i want not to create a new ArrayCollection everytime the
ITreeDataDescriptor#getChildren is called, i thought to create one
ArrayCollection and
remove all items when the function is called. I thought it would be ok
to create a new field
(typed: ArrayCollection) for the class. But actually the forces my
component to crash.
Here's the code:
precode
public function getChildren(node:Object,
model:Object=null):ICollectionView {
trace(this._className+#getChildren);
try {
if(node is PackageDescriptor) {
this._children.sort = null;
/*try {
this._children.removeAll();
this._children.refresh();
} catch (e:Error) {
trace(Error: +e.message)
} catch (e1:StackOverflowError) {
trace(StackOverflowError: +e1.message);
} catch (e2:CollectionViewError) {
trace(CollectionViewError: +e2.message);
} catch (e3:ArgumentError) {
trace(ArgumentError: +e2.message);
}*/
trace(\tnode.className: +PackageDescriptor(node).className);
this._children = new ArrayCollection();
var packageDescriptor:PackageDescriptor = PackageDescriptor(node);
for (var i:uint = 0; ipackageDescriptor.packages.length; i++) {
this._children.addItem(PackageDescriptor(packageDescriptor.packages.getI
temAt(i)));
}
for (var j:uint = 0; jpackageDescriptor.classes.length; j++) {
this._children.addItem(ClassDescriptor(packageDescriptor.classes.getItem
At(j)));
}
for (var k:uint = 0; kpackageDescriptor.interfaces.length; k++) {
this._children.addItem(InterfaceDescriptor(packageDescriptor.interfaces.
getItemAt(k)));
}
/*for (var l:uint = 0; lthis._children.length; l++) {
trace(\t\t+l+: +this._children.getItemAt(l).name);
}*/
return this._children;
}
} catch (e:Error) {
trace(Error: +e.message)
} catch (e1:StackOverflowError) {
trace(StackOverflowError: +e1.message);
} catch (e2:CollectionViewError) {
trace(CollectionViewError: +e2.message);
} finally {
return _children;
}
}/code/pre
So why is it at this point wrong to call removeAll to remove all
references from the
ArrayCollection instead of creating a new ArrayCollection all the
time?
The code above
compiles. If i uncomment the first try/ctach statement, the
application
crashes.

Re: SPAM-LOW: [flexcoders] If Flex is open source, how do we go about changing the language?
Semantics, I know, but The language is ActionScript 3. You're talking about a problem with a component built in that language, not the language itself. I can see a benefit of adding either of these attributes to the datagrid. You should be able to create your own version, or an extension of the DG at your leisure. You can submit an enhancement request at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/ . I'm under the optimistic impression that Adobe looks at, and evaluates, all requests. It wouldn't hurt if you tell all your friends to vote for the request. aceoohay wrote: I just ran across what I consider a significant deficiency in Flex.

Re: [flexcoders] Issues with Dynamic vs. Embedded Font Leading
So, yea. There is a bug in the line space rendering in Flash for embedded fonts. Easiest test case is to build a TextField display and set the leading to the point size of the font, minus the ascent and descent. In the ideal world, this should cause all lines of a multiline text field to align on the baseline of the first line (overlap). Unfortunately, this does not occur at all point sizes - only a few: 9,12,26,32 and a couple others I think. For all other point sizes, the line spacing determined by Flash is off anywhere from half a point to 10 points. That's pretty wack if you ask me. I might need to file a bug on the text rendering sometime. First I have to figure out why it's doing that (I have a fix that works). The wonderful getTextExtent inaccuracies didn't help much either. It's interesting to set the line spacing and see it fluctuate as the font sizes change. Whatever. Hackery abounds. At least I can get it to match Photoshop's rendering of text now, minus display issues with antialiasing and the way the Saffron engine renders characters. But that is another, separate issue - it doesn't render all characters right - that might be because of the quadratic approximation of the font outlines. cheers, jon On Nov 29, 2007, at 8:33 PM, Jon Bradley wrote: Embedded fonts, on the other hand, incorrectly render leading, always. I say incorrectly because it's not how any other desktop print application does it, so far as I can tell. Maybe it's an issue with the way saffron was designed .. how is Flash calculating this? Flash is definitely not rendering line spacing/leading correctly, but I cannot figure out what it is doing to calculate this. If I can get that taken care of, I have the rest of the situation solved (tracking, margins, etc.), matching photoshop as my baseline.

[flexcoders] Re: If Flex is open source, how do we go about changing the language?
Ralf: The data has nulls in it. For example, one grid is equivalent to a checking account, with deposits and checks. The column for the check number is null for deposits. Another table has three different phone number fields, not everybody has three phone numbers. Another table has employee termination date, current employees have none. As you can see it is a ubiquitous problem and this is in a small part of the application. I could cause the queries to replace nulls with some reasonable data for sorting, but it wouldn't look right to the user.

Your use case seem very reasonable to me. In this particular case I disagree with my esteemed colleague Alex (who sits across from me)... I think our default sorting routines should handle null values. So please file this as a bug at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex and feel free to mention that I consider it a bug. However, I agree with Alex that it probably will not get fixed in time for the Flex 3 release, as the bar is currently extremely high for making changes at this point.

[flexcoders] Best Way to learn Flex
So I have been trying to learn flex now for almost 9 month and i pretty much still don't know much to get me anywhere. This is also my first programming language to learn. I know enough to make everything work on its own but i still can't create stuff like this http://demo.quietlyscheming.com/displayShelf/index.html or any of the adobe Examples. So i was wondering, how long does it take to actually start doing some of that stuff and what is the best way to learn. Looking at the source code doesn't help much since there are too many files and its split up and the functions get spread out all over. Be a better sports nut!

RE: [flexcoders] Issues with Dynamic vs. Embedded Font Leading
Are you using Flex and are you relying on MXMLC to do the embedding? Or are you using Flash to first to do the embedding? If it's Flex, what version of Flex and how are you embedding them? Are you using a CSS @font-face rule? Are you using local() or url() as the source of the font definition? Can you show me the font-manager section of your flex-config.xml file?

I'm working on an application that is rendering text fields (multiline, print resolution) on the client end that will be rendered on the server, currently using GDI+ (but other options are open). Photoshop, InDesign and Quark are my baselines. They all handle and deal with font leading identically for all fonts that I've tested, barring any slight shifts due to antialiasing. Flash on the other hand yikes. By using some simple trickery, font leading on device fonts can mimic identically, to the pixel almost, any leading in the above 3 stated applications. Embedded fonts, on the other hand, incorrectly render leading, always. I say incorrectly because it's not how any other desktop print application does it, so far as I can tell. Maybe it's an issue with the way saffron was designed .. how is Flash calculating this? Flash is definitely not rendering line spacing/leading correctly, but I cannot figure out what it is doing to calculate this. If I can get that taken care of, I have the rest of the situation solved (tracking, margins, etc.), matching photoshop as my baseline.

So when we do go open-source next year, you will be able to offer changes to the source code like the Sort code (but not the language itself).
