[yang chen]

Isn't drop down list a visual component? How exactly do you want the component 
to look?

Thanks Rishi.

But my actual problem was with Repeater Container.
I replaced HBox with ToolBar.
So my problem is now solved.
Now my all labels are perfectly occupy in ToolBar.

In other words, what Jeffry is saying is he needs something more visual

[flexcoders] Anyone had problems moving to SDK 3.5 (especially from 3.2)? Please reply.

[Greg Lafrance]

Our team have switched from using Flex SDK 3.2 to SDK 3.5 and we're seeing some 
issues.

I'm wondering how many others out there have seen issues with using SDK 3.5, 
especially if you were using SDK 3.2 previously.

Please contribute your experience in this post. Thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] Scrolling a Dynamic Window

[happy dog owner]

I have a TitleWindow popup with a form that allows user to add additional rows 
to the form. Each "row" is a two-line set of elements with a HGroup nested 
inside a VGroup. I have the form inside a Scroller component but it doesn't 
seem to be able to detect when the form grows to the point of needing 
scrolling, the scrollbar stays disabled, even if explicitly set to be on. I do 
run a method when adding rows that calls an invalidateSize() followed by a 
validateNow() on the TitleWindow but that doesn't seem to fix the issue. Any 
ideas?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Air app w/Bluetooth + UI / App Store for Arduino devices

[Davis Ford]

Hi Valdhor,

Yes, we do plan on developing new sensor hardware that is ultra low power.
 We are looking at Bluetooth Low Energy BTLE, WiFi and Zigbee + Zigbee
derivatives like SNAP.  We will likely have one or more hardware sensors
available with these technologies in the next 6 months.  Not sure yet if
we'll still have the same Flex + FOTA type capabilities for these out of the
box -- it depends on the tech and the platform, but we definitely do want to
get low-power sensors that can run on something like a watch battery for a
year out there.

Best regards,
Davis

Re: [flexcoders] Axis Scale problem on Dual Axis Chart

[John Fletcher]

As far as I can see your problem boils down to this:
"The problem is that when certain events in the application happen, the min
and max of one of the axis is reset to 0, 100. To avoid this I can set the
min and max values, but I would like to avoid this as the axis should auto
scale just like it does when it is first created"
or in other words: "The application is setting the min and max, but I don't
want them to be set, I want them to autoscale."

There are two solutions:
1) Stop the min and max from being set in the first place. Find out what is
causing it - the stylesheet you are loading? Then modify this.
2) Set the min and max to NaN after they have been set. This re-enables
autoscaling.

John

[flexcoders] s:Group arrange component on the same center

[isa_loyer]

I use a s:Group to place my component in my form. I'd like all form item have 
the same horizontal align inside the group. I try to use horizontalcenter with 
value 0 but it doesn't work. So I don't know how to do and I hope you can help 
me to solve that.
