Alex,

not).
Hi, Patrick;
You don't say what your component is, but I'm going to assume it's an
extended button. If you extend instead from a component that
supports
borderSides as a style (any container), you could try something like
this:
mx:Style
.topLeft{
borderColor:#00;
borderSides: 'top left';
}
.topRight{
borderColor:#00;
borderSides: 'top right';
}
.bottomLeft{
borderColor:#00;
borderSides: 'bottom left';
}
.bottomRight{
borderColor:#00;
borderSides: 'bottom right';
}
/mx:Style
Then, in your script block:
for (var i:Number = 0; inrows; i++) {
var myGridRow:GridRow = new GridRow();
// for each col add child controls
for (var j:Number = 0; jncols; j++) {
var myGridItem:GridItem = new GridItem();
//even rows will be tops, even columns lefts
switch (true) {
case(i%2==0j%2==0):
myGridItem.styleName='topLeft';
break;
case(i%2==0):
myGridItem.styleName='topRight';
break;
case(j%2==0):
myGridItem.styleName='bottomLeft';
break;
default:
myGrid.styleName='bottomRight';
}//end switch
myGridItem.addChild (myBtn);
//Add cell to row
myGridRow.addChild (myGridItem);
} // end col loop
// Add row to grid
myGrid.addChild(myGridRow);
}

Views should be bound to the model or respond to events. Your command class

[flexcoders] Smooth main chart drag effect on Google Finance
Hi all, I'm putting together (yet another) Google Finance-esque chart widget. I've basically used Brendan Meutzner's example from [1] as my starting point - thanks Brendan! However, I've run into a problem when dragging the main chart. On Google's widget, you can drag the main chart with a very smooth action - the canvas actually moves with the mouse on a pixel-by-pixel basis. With all the existing re-makes of Google's widget (that I can find), the main chart is drawn from a subset of the values currently selected. So the chart re-draws when you've dragged the mouse sufficiently far that one data point is removed and another is added. With a large number of points visible in the chart, this action approaches a smooth motion. However, when you've only got a small number of points being shown the graph jumps across the chart. The effect is even worse if the points are not equally distributed along the x-axis, because then the jumps are not even consistent in length. I'm relatively new to Flex, especially Flex Charts, but I think Google must be doing something very different. Perhaps having an oversized chart in the background, and then adding to the series when the drag requires it? Does anyone have any idea how to achieve something like this? Many thanks, Matt.

[flexcoders] dataGrid - hightlight row
I have seen some examples of this and these samples I've seen all are implementing drawRowBackground which works fine but not in my case. I need to change row's background after I have applied columns background. But drawRowBackground runs at a time dataGrtid is created so my row background that was set in drawRowBackground gets overwritten by the later upplied column's background. I am then trying to implement a custom renderer that accepts a click and changes draws a colored area around itself: g.drawRect(e.target.x, e.target.y, e.target.width, e.target.height + 1); g.endFill(); Using this approach I can color the whole row. But is a catch: my columns have different colors. In case I have to restore row's background color to original color how can I do that? Is there a simple way of doing it or I need to store colors into array and then restore them using same technique? Thanks
RE: [flexcoders] dataGrid - hightlight row
drawRowBackground runs often, not just at creation time, but it does run before drawColumnBackgrounds. You can use the examples from my blog that have customized cell backgrounds and skip the whole drawRow/drawColumn stuff. You can also try switching the z order of the row and column backgrounds. That's not officially supported, but some sort of getChildByName(lines) and getChildByName(rowBGs) and testing getChildIndex and using setChildIndex might allow you to switch the z order.

Re: [flexcoders] A very simple component in AS :(
A few things:
You'll need to override measure(), like so:
protected override function measure() : void {
measuredWidth = _txt.measuredWidth;
measuredHeight = _txt.measuredHeight;
}
and updateDisplayList(), like so:
protected override function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number) : void {
_txt.move(0,0);
_txt.setActualSize(Math.min(_txt.measuredWidth, w),
Math.min(_txt.measuredHeight, h));

That should do it. But this is typed in gmail, not Flex so it's probably got
typos in it :)

Basically thats not how to create a component for flex.
The value for title has not been set at the time the constructor runs.
You should look at Flex's component invalidation cycle.

commitProperties();

[flexcoders] what is PropertyChangeEventt.PROPERTY_CHANGE used for?

Re: [flexcoders] what is PropertyChangeEventt.PROPERTY_CHANGE used for?
Off the top of my head, when you instantiate a PropertyChangeEvent instead
of an Event, the constructor is expecting more useful information about what
field changed and when that information is missing / invalid the requisite
bindings don't fire. But when the binding handlers get a generic event of
name PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE, they just assume the entire object
has been updated and update all bindings to that object.
All just a guess tho ;-)

Re: [flexcoders] what is PropertyChangeEventt.PROPERTY_CHANGE used for?
It is used as the default Binding event and you can create one using the
static method createUpdateEvent on the PropertyChangeEvent class
var changeEvent:PropertyChangeEvent =
PropertyChangeEvent.createUpdateEvent(changedObject,changedProperty,oldVal,newVal);
dispatchEvent(changeEvent);
That should fire the binding for the property you've updated.

Re: [flexcoders] what is PropertyChangeEventt.PROPERTY_CHANGE used for?
Ahh, so that's how it works. I didn't realize there was more to the
constructor then a normal event. That will teach me not to check the API
reference first. ;-)
Thank you both for the info!

It is used as the default Binding event and you can create one using the
static method createUpdateEvent on the PropertyChangeEvent class
var changeEvent:PropertyChangeEvent =
PropertyChangeEvent.createUpdateEvent(changedObject,changedProperty,oldVal,newVal);
dispatchEvent(changeEvent);
That should fire the binding for the property you've updated.

Off the top of my head, when you instantiate a PropertyChangeEvent
instead of an Event, the constructor is expecting more useful information
about what field changed and when that information is missing / invalid the
requisite bindings don't fire. But when the binding handlers get a generic
event of name PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE, they just assume the
entire object has been updated and update all bindings to that object.
All just a guess tho ;-)

Hello,
when I do this:
dispatchEvent( new
PropertyChangeEvent(PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE) );
My bindings do not execute.
When I do this:
dispatchEvent( new Event('propertyChange') );
They do (using default binding with no meta data specified).
What is what is the PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE event used for if
not for binding?
Thanks for any input!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: A very simple component in AS :(
It might work, but you really should look into reading some tutorials on the
lifecycle of Flex components. Here's a few brief things:
* You want to create child components in the createChildren() method, not in
your constructor. Your component may be instantiated long before it needs to
have its children created.
* Override the measure() function to set measuredWidth and measuredHeight,
but the actual size will be set by your container
* Override updateDisplaylist() to size and move your child components. Get
their preferred sizes using child.getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth / Height in
measure(), but set them using setActualSize(), not by setting the width and
height. Position them with move()
* There's a lot of good tutorials out there, google is your friend :)

![CDATA[
private function init():void

objuserID = new uuid();
userID = objuserID.createUUID();

createUUID() is like a random function, but my problem is I get same

Re: [flexcoders] Re: A very simple component in AS :(
Kinda busy today, but here's a couple:
http://msimtiyaz.wordpress.com/flex/adobe-flex-component-instantiation-life-cycle/
http://nwebb.co.uk/blog/?p=46
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/building_components_in_as/
A really good place to start is looking into the API docs for UIComponent
and Canvas, and just sort of browsing around, reading up on any method that
you don't understand.
A lot of custom component creation is about overriding protected methods,
because there's a lot of glue in UIComponent that you want to be able to
rely on, so pay particular attention to the protected overrides, and to the
invalidateXXX() methods.

Hi List,
I have a problem skinning the first last tab bar

the middle tab works..
My first tab bar only has 2 pieces of graphic. One for
unselected

The problem is that the first tab bar animates itself
through
different states when it is supposed to stop at the up
state. Same
thing happens to the last tab bar.
This is how it looks like:

( right click to view source)
I used Flex Skin template in flash cs3 to create the
skin. I
duplicated the symbol of the middle tab to create the first
tab and
last tab. And assigned them new linkage names. And here is
my css code.
// css code
TabBar
{
tabStyleName : tabBarTab;
