Re: [flexcoders] difference between stage and application?
If memory serves, Container.addChild() overrides DisplayObject.addChild(), and requires that the argument implement the IUIComponent interface, which means only Flex components can be added. You need to use Container.rawChildren.addChild(Sprite) instead. You may also have to override updateDisplayList() to get it to layout correctly, because you're basically bypassing the Flex framework layout mechanism. So unless you really need to, using the Flex Integration Kit is much less hassle. What the kit does is wrap your Sprite or MovieClip object in a UIMovieClip class, which implements the bare bones interfaces required for a non-Flex object to work with the Flex framework, such as IUIComponent. You can also use the UIMovieClip class source to wrap your Sprite or non-Flex object without the Flex Integration Kit, this way you can bypass using Flash altogether if you find you don't need it. ___ Joseph Balderson, Flex Flash Platform Developer :: http://joeflash.ca Author, Professional Flex 3 :: http://tinyurl.com/profx3book Alex Harui wrote: You should use the Flash/Flex Component Kit to wrap your Flash content.

[flexcoders] Dictionary vs Arraycollection
hi all, i want to collect data from Arraycollection to Dictinary(as map)...how to implement this...
[flexcoders] Re: Pass repeater data to headerrenderer
Without the headerReenderer I am able to use
{repeatername.currentitem.datanode}in the label field of the Canvas but as the
headerRender property is part of the Accordion and not the Canvas (and outside
the repeater) I can't do that. I tried {data.datanode} but that didn't work.
I suppose I could manually loop through the xmllistcollection and populate it
that way? I probably should have tried that last night but I guess I was tired
and wasn't thinking straight. I'll give it a shot and let you know.
Thanks.

Subject: [flexcoders] Pass repeater data to headerrenderer
Hi All,
I have an accordion component, and I'm using a repeater to populate its
children, with data coming from an XMLListCollection. I've created an
external headerrenderer for the accordion header to display a multi-line
title, but I cannot figure out how to pass the data for each repeated data
element to the header renderer. The data inside the repeater is populated
using {repeatername.currentitem.datanode} format but I can't use that for
the renderer. I tried writing it inline but it has to be written outside the
repeater. Any ideas how to accomplish this?

[flexcoders] getItemIndex on filtered List
Hi all, I'm having some issues when calling getItemIndex on an ArrayCollection with a filterFunction set. I do something like myAC.removeItemAt(myAC.getItemIndex(myObject)), which works fine when the filtering hasn't been applied. As soon as filtering is applied, getItemIndex seems to return -1 in every case. Has anyone come across this before? What the best way to remove an item form a filtered ArrayCollection? Thanks a lot. - Evan

[flexcoders] DataGrid: How to Prevent Extra Space Allocation to Last Colum
Hi All, Please help me to get rid of extra space being allocated to the last column of DataGrid. Where does this extra come from ? whatever column I resize should actually be resized.Why does one column resize led to last column resize ? I have set horizontal policy to auto and resizable = true for all column.Also I cant make resizable = false for last column as It is not acceptable to my client Any help would be appreciated.
RE: [flexcoders] getItemIndex on filtered List
getItemIndex should not be returning -1 when filtered unless myObject is excluded by the filter function. I'd write a test that scans the filtered collection and compares it to myObject.

[flexcoders] Flex Menu Basic Question
I am posting a very basic question . I am trying to use Flex menus on my web page . I have built the menu but I am not sure how to do navigation . All i could do is if set Data for menu item i could do an alert to get Data . What I want is if user click on Menu A it should redirect or load a SWF file , similarly if user clicks on Menu B it should redirect or load a separate file. It similar to something link View Stack . But problem with View Stack is I cant define children for MX: View Stack .
RE: [flexcoders] Flex Menu Basic Question
On your menu, specify a handler for the itemClick event. That event will have a reference to the item clicked, fro mwhich you can determine what action to take. I typically include a command or action or index attribute in the menu data, then get that value in the handler, and use a switch() statement to define the processing. A side note, the top-level menu items do not dispatch itemClick events. If you want to take action from a top-level menu item, you also need to listen to the plain click event, and conditionally process only the correct clicks.
