[flexcoders] SetItemAt Not Updating Tilelist Icons Correctly

2010-04-24 Thread James
My app allows users to enter in a url a title and an image filename and then 
when they click a button a snapshot of this url is created and sent to the 
server as the filename they have entered and an item containing all this data 
is added to an array collection which displays all this within a tilelist, the 
item renderer is linked to the server which contains the images (via the i) so 
they are displayed within the tilelist. The thing is this I'm trying to allow 
my users to update these things using the setitemat method i.e. they click on 
an item and all it's data is displayed and they can edit it and then save it 
which will use the setitemat function to update this item in the array 
collection.
 
My problem is this, if the user changes the url it takes a snapshot of this new 
url to overwrite the previous image on the server but if they keep the image 
filename the same it doesn't seem to refresh within the tilelist itself. I know 
the image on the server has been overwritten as the image on the server in 
question has been changed when I check it but for some reason the image in the 
tilelist isn't updating to the new image. It's as if flex has the old image 
stored in memory or something and won't switch to the new one. Is this common 
and is there anyway around this besides refreshing the whole array collection 
each time the user updates an item. Is there any way of refreshing only the 
item that has just been updated perhaps? The strange thing is if the user 
enters a different image filename.
 
Here's the line of code which updates the selected item (with 'a' being the 
chosen item in the tilelist):-
 
ArrayCollection(linkChoice.dataProvider).setItemAt({linkid:linkChoice.selectedIt
 em.linkid, categoryid:updatedcategoryid, label:updatedlabelentry.text, 
icon:updatediconentry.text, url:updatedurlentry.text}, a);

It just casts it that way, so it can work with any HierarchicalCollectionView, 
not just GroupingCollection.

I think that you can have a custom summary function, but there might be 
something more elegant that you could find by poring over the docs for the 
classes involved.

Re: [flexcoders] Need Help Getting A Value Into My App Via Flex And Php

2010-04-24 Thread Haykel BEN JEMIA
Probably this has to do with the fact that you are setting the data type to
xml but not outputting valid xml. Try with something like:

echo "$next_increment";

Re: [flexcoders] make swf play and stop in frame one

2010-04-24 Thread Haykel BEN JEMIA
In the handler of the 'complete' event cast the 'content' property to
MovieClip and call gotoAndStop(1) on it.

[flexcoders] How to compress Spark skins into swc/swf and use them in Flex 4?

2010-04-24 Thread djamsheds
In Flex 3 our designer basically created all custom skins in AI and compiled 
them into swf file, which I used in css file as:
-
.coolButton
{
upSkin: Embed(source="skins.swf", 
symbol="button_upSkin");
overSkin: Embed(source="skins.swf", 
symbol="button_overSkin");
downSkin: Embed(source="skins.swf", 
symbol="button_downSkin");
disabledSkin: Embed(source="skins.swf", 
symbol="button_disabledSkin");
}
-

Once the skin is changed, I (developer) just had to replace the (skins.swf). 

Can I follow the same logic in Flex 4? I know it should be different in CSS 
(skinClass = "someClass") but I don't really know how the designer should 
compile skins into swf or swc (using Catalyst?)... any idea on how to make a 
skin library for spark components?
