[flexcoders] Thanks Alex!
I have no idea who is still listening to this thread but I think it's time to humbly, and gratefully thank Alex for his devotion to Flex and this thread. Two years ago our world was shaken and we've all moved onto different (not better) things. ;) Alex has continued to demonstrate and keep his promise in supporting Flex two years down the road and will probably continue to monitor these and other threads for several more. Hats off to you Alex! You are to commended for your devotion and sacrifices to our beloved Flex! James LongLiveFlex/
Re: [flexcoders] Thanks Alex!
Thanks, but it's not so hard since I'm paid to do it. It would help for you all to switch to Apache Flex and ask your questions over there. The main Apache Flex website is: http://flex.apache.org/ You can subscribe to the mailing lists or a forum version by following instructions here: http://flex.apache.org/community-mailinglists.html And in case you haven't been following, Apache just released 4.11.0 which has some 200 bug fixes over Adobe 4.6, and several of us, including myself are working on FlexJS, a version of Flex that runs without Flash.

Re: [flexcoders] Nested TabNabvigator/Repeater error
So if I understand correctly, clicking on some nested Tab changes some other
ViewStack's selectedIndex. If that's correct, try subclassing the ViewStack's
selectedIndex setter so you can set a breakpoint and catch when only that
ViewStack is changed. Then the call stack should contain some good clues.

I've finally had time to check this out a little further.
As a reminder, I'm creating nested TabNavigator elements dynamically. I avoided
using a Repeater and attached a CollectionChange event listener to the
ArrayCollection that is the main data provider. The function called by the
listener walks through the structure, creating TabNavigators with VBox
children, and at the bottom level, a custom component (DocDataGrid) that is a
VBox which wraps a DataGrid.
The problem is that a click on a tab in the lowest-level TabNavigator doesn't
display the selected child. Rather, it sends the user several levels back up
the component tree.
I've followed the click through TabBars and NavBars and Buttons till there's a
click event fired where I can't determine what's supposed to hear the click.
The selectedIndex appears correct through each level in the inheritance, but
then the process fails.
I've even added some hack-y invalidateDisplayList() calls in hopes that they
might have an effect.
I'm including the code that creates the elements, along with some screen shots
that I hope will better explain what's going on.
If you have time to look them over, and if you see where I'm going wrong, I
would certainly appreciate any pointers.
Thanks very much in advance.

Alex,
Thanks again for your reply. Sorry I was unclear. I wasn't suggesting that the
framework had code to switch the ViewStack on click.
I was responding to your comment about the concern being the logic that
responds to the change in the TabNavigator and TabBar. And I simply meant that
my code does not contain any handlers for any actions on the TabNavigators
created in my AS code, nor on the underlying TabBars. But rather, the click on

Re: [flexcoders] Nested TabNabvigator/Repeater error
Hi Alex,
Thanks for your suggestion. It may be a couple of days before I can get
back to testing it; I'm reworking many backend routines and database
functions/procs for the same application.
But when I'm able to test it, I'll report back.
As always, thanks for your generous help.

[flexcoders] Retrieve current item on a DataGroup
I have a question that seems easy, but i can't solve.
I have a DataGroup with a custom ItemRenderer.
How can I retrieve the current item that was selected with a double
click (something like a SelectedItem on a DataGrid)?
Can I retrieve the itemRenderer instance of the element?
Thansk
My code is:
s:Group height=100% width=100%
s:Scroller height=100% width=100% id=scr
s:DataGroup id=dg height=100% width=100%
itemRenderer=myItemRenderer
dataProvider={_data}
doubleClickEnabled=true doubleClick=dg_doubleClickHandler(event)
s:layout
s:TileLayout/

/s:DataGroup
/s:Scroller

[flexcoders] Function from string?
I'm writing a game. Well, actually I guess it's more of a game engine. I want the game logic to be in a script. The script will take the form of a series of rooms, each of which can contain: . doors to other rooms . characters the player can interact with . things the player can pick up and use Any of these can have conditions on them. The condition can be expressed as: . Player must have (thing) in his inventory . Player must have at least X points . Player must have at least $Y money . Call function f That last seems to be a problem. I would like to be able to take a function name I've read from the script and call the corresponding function. Or, alternatively, the script can contain the name of a class which must contain a method named (for example) conditionTest. But I haven't figured out a way to convert a string to either a Function or a Class. Is there a way of doing this? If I were working in Javascript, I'd just call eval, but that seems to be forbidden in AS3, right? Can I do this? Or do I have to put all the functions I might want to call this way in an array, and look them up that way? Or what?

Hi Alex, I just start working on to use Falcon to convert our existing Flex4 application to Html5. Before I dig into it, want to know how reliable it is? Should I wait for a bit for a better version?
