[flexcoders] Re: Custom Component Height issue

[bhaq1972]

this is a simple example, it might be useful. Basically, all i'm doing is 
increasing the panel height everytime i add a row into the datagrid.

 xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">

Thanks
I went for Option 1 (using a custom item renderer) only because I couldn't get 
Option2 (extend ClassFactory) working.

[flexcoders] right align the gridcolumn text

[bhaq1972]

GridColumn doesn't have the textAlign style. Instead we can do this -


  


..

How can I do this in actionscript? I've tried the following but doesn't work

var renderer1:ClassFactory = new ClassFactory(DefaultItemRenderer);
renderer1.properties = { textAlign:"right", color:0xff00ff };
col.itemRenderer = renderer1; //doesnt work

[bhaq1972]

Yes agreed. In our newer applications we do that.

Just curious, if a column is defined as visible=false in mxml. That wouldn't be 
a memory consumption would it?

[flexcoders] Re: RTE when setting spark gridcolumn visible property (f

[bhaq1972]

The problem doesn't exist if the code is executed in the preintialize or 
creationComplete event. However, I didn't want to mention that because it takes 
the focus away from what looks like a bug in initialize. Why would one column 
give a runtime error and the other not?
Halo datagrid doesnt have this problem.

In our scenario, some columns have no relevance to certain customers. Instead 
of removing the column from the mxml, we store the column info (in this case 
make invisible) in the database.
During the datagrid initialze we make it invisible. The creationcomplete event 
would be too late because by then the column would have rendered (for a split 
second).

Preinitialize would be ok...but other parts of my code (unrelated to this 
problem) are failing because preinitialize is too early. i can't bare any more 
code rewrites(but i suppose it keeps me in a job).

[flexcoders] RTE when setting spark gridcolumn visible property (f

I get a runtime error when I set the gridcolumn.visible property during a 
datagrid initialize event. There is no problem's
if its the first gridcolumn. Looks like a bug?

Can anyone suggest a workaround?

{
   gc1.visible = false;  // causes a RTE
   gc0.visible = false;  // doesnt give a problem

I'm doing the same thing as you, I don't even cast my object and it still works.

I did do a simple test using [RemoteClass] but I can't remember it sorry. 

I just saw it as different approaches in achieving the same end result.

[flexcoders] Spark Datagrid / IGridItemEditor.save() issue when using the tab key

[bhaq1972]

I have problem with the IGridItemEditor.save() method. 

According to the docs for save()...if the data isn't valid, then the data isn't 
saved and the editor is not closed.

So I setup an example to test this, and its seems ok. However, once I enter 
valid data and hit the Tab key, I expect the next column to contain the 
itemEditor. Instead its the column after that (which isnt correct).

Maybe i'm going about this the wrong way, so any advice would be great.

[flexcoders] Re: Spark Datagrid selectedItem question

[bhaq1972]

Let me elaborate (sorry I was trying to keep the question short and sweet). In 
my situation, we don't want our users to edit more than one row at a time.
So the datagrid starts off uneditable. They select a row they wish to edit. 
They then click a button to 'edit' that row. Once editing is complete they then 
click a confirm button to commit their

It all sounds a bit backward but my boss assures me its the best way for our 
users.

How would I go about making the datagrid.selectedItem the ONLY editable row?

A bit like making individual columns editable by setting GridColumn.editable.

[flexcoders] Re: Compile error when trying to use an extended spark TextInput

[bhaq1972]

fyi. 
I'm using FlashBuilder (with Flex 4.1 upgrade). This was a very basic test just 
to highlight the problem.


My actual extended TextInput has alot more code (it also has a child button 
which i use to open up a number of popup components) 

I'll try out your Actionscript component suggestion. 
Thanks 
(btw this component is in  mxml because thats how I did it back in Flex 1)

[flexcoders] Compile error when trying to use an extended spark TextInput

[bhaq1972]

I have created a very simple MyTextInput

MyTextInput.mxml
-

http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"; 
  xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" 
  xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
  
!-- Place non-visual elements (e.g., services, value objects) here -->
  


When I try using it in a Application I am getting the compile error  -

Multiple initializer values for default property, 'text', of type 'String'

What am I missing?

[flexcoders] Re: TabNavigator styles not being applied (flex4)

[bhaq1972]

They look the same to me.
I just added another style ...

fontWeight:bold 

and that is being applied.

Maybe I will use a skin

[flexcoders] Re: flex 4 - NavigatorContent question / element parent

[bhaq1972]

myPanel.owner is the same as myPanel.parent so that won't work.
 
Making it a property would work. What would the disadvantages be with using 
myPanel.parent.parent.parent (a trace shows this to be the navigatorcontent)?

I wonder why there is no such property like 'elementParent' to go with 
addElement()  analagous to 'parent' and addChild()?

one follow up question -
I'm now adding the NavigatorContent to a viewstack.
When i do viewstack.removeChild(nc), how do i make sure nc (naviagtorcontent) 
is destroyed?
thanks

[flexcoders] flex 4 - NavigatorContent question / element parent

[bhaq1972]

I added a Panel component into a NavigatorContent

public function aMethod():void
{
  var nc:NavigatorContent = new NavigatorContent();

  nc.addElement(myPanel);
}
Now, in another method I want to access this NavigatorContent

eg
public function anotherMethod(myPanel:Panel):void
{
var nc:NavigatorContent = myPanel.parent as NavigatorContent;

however nc is not myPanel.parent.

doing a trace, the navigatorContent is actually 
the myPanel.parent.parent.parent

Is there not a property/method which gets me a reference to the element Parent  

(a bit like addChild() / parent relationship)

[flexcoders] spark Panel titleBar equivalent

[bhaq1972]

In flex 3
I used do add buttons to MyPanel (extends mx.containers.Panel) titleBar.

var button:Button = new Button();
this.titleBar.addChild(button);


whats the equivalent to this in Spark?

one way i'm thinking of is using a basic layout, and positioning the buttons 
where I want. 

Just wanted to get an idea what approach others would take.

Try this

[flexcoders] Re: spark ButtonBar selectedIndex out of view

[bhaq1972]

Thanks.
I haven't played with the Scroller so I will try it out (but a quick initial 
test gives a compile error ...a Scroller cant have a ButtonBar assigned to the 
default viewport property)

I will probably go with Haykel's suggestion for now.


thanks guys

[flexcoders] spark ButtonBar selectedIndex out of view

[bhaq1972]

I have a spark ButtonBar with a horizontalLayout. The width of the ButtonBar is 
small ...so the end buttons don't show.
When I set the selectedIndex to one of the end buttons...its not coming into 
view.

How can I ensure the selectedItem is in view?

thanks

[flexcoders] Flex 4 ButtonBarButton skin to look like a LinkBar skin

[bhaq1972]

Hi
I'm trying to create a ButtonBar skin which looks like a halo LinkBar skin. 
However, i'm having a few issues with trying to create the separator graphic.
So far my ButtonBarButton skin has a Label.
1) Do I create the separator graphic in updateDisplayList()? If so can someone 
help with a small example how to do it (so far I have failed to make it display)
or 
2) Do I declare it in mxml like

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 4 - Is it possible to create a generic Button skin

[bhaq1972]

Thanks. That worked!

Something else I tried also worked. Its based on original skin and uses 
updateDisplayList()...code below

But your suggestion is more elegant and better! 

Thanks for your help


code




override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, 
unscaledHeight:Number) : void
{   
  if(myUpImage)
  {
myUpImage.source = getStyle("upSkin");
  }
  if(myOverImage)
  {
myOverImage.source = getStyle("overSkin");
  }
  if(myDownImage)
  {
myDownImage.source = getStyle("downSkin");
  }

 super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
}
}

[flexcoders] Flex 4 - Is it possible to create a generic Button skin

[bhaq1972]

I have a set of button skins which all look like the following skin

http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"; 
 xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"> 

  
   [HostComponent("spark.components.Button")] 
 

  




   

 
  

 
 

 
 


---
The only difference between all the skins is the image source they use. 
Is it possible to make this generic so I can define the image source in the 
style sheet. 

Thanks


Btw, In Flex 3, it was very easy to change the image skin in the style sheets 
using styleName. eg




  .LeftArrow
  {
upSkin: Embed(source="assets/previous_default.png");
overSkin: Embed(source="assets/previous_hover.png");
downSkin: Embed(source="assets/previous_down.png");
   }
  .RightArrow
  {
upSkin: Embed(source="assets/right_default.png");
overSkin: Embed(source="assets/right_hover.png");
downSkin: Embed(source="assets/right_down.png");
   }

[flexcoders] Spark Panel width=0 but still showing

[bhaq1972]

I am setting the width of a Spark Panel to zero but I can still see it. 
Halo Panel does not have this problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance.

Here's a simple example


http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009";
  xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
  xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
  minWidth="955" minHeight="600">

  

   

   
 
   

   

  

   


   
  


-
Same test using Halo Panel

http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009";
  xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
  xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
  minWidth="955" minHeight="600">

  

   

   
 
   

   

  

   


   
  

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 4 HGroup and Group background colour

[bhaq1972]

I was actually using an absolute layout container, when I first noticed the 
problem. 
I'm not planning to file a bug. I'm still new to flex4 skinning. So was 
probably using it incorrectly.

Any way, since posting my orginal question I found  to be a 
better candidate in what I want to achieve.


Flex4 skinning is very powerful and I have already been able to achieve 
something I couldnt do in Flex3.

thanks

[flexcoders] Re: Help! - Intermittent Network Issues - How do you handle?

[bhaq1972]

I don't have a suggestion but wanted to know if you found anything useful to 
help your problem?

We had one customer who had this problem on one of their pc's. But I never got 
to the bottom of what was happening. It became a low grade issue (as it was 
only one pc). I couldn't replicate the problem and the customer did a few 
upgrades/re-installations etc. and the problem went away.

Have you looked at the firewall logs before and after the new firewall? that 
maybe a start.

Also, if the network has intermittent issues, you could try and re-send your 
request ...but this will only work if the intermittent issue goes away.

good luck

[flexcoders] Re: What's wrong with this basic AS3 code?

[bhaq1972]

Doesn't make sense. I just tried it out and it works for me in an ActionScript 
project as well.

Clearly, you Car class constructor takes 2 arguments, and its being  passed 2 
args in the instantiation.

If you are using flexbuilder try click Project>Clean (this will build the 
project like its building for the very first time)

If that doesnt work. Try creating a new Flex Project and just add your Car 
class and my test.mxml class.

[flexcoders] Re: What's wrong with this basic AS3 code?

[bhaq1972]

your class Car looks okay and so does you syntax to instantiate it and method 
call.

try this. Create an Application(test.mxml) in the same folder location as your 
Car.as file.

Have you checked out Andrew Trice's BitMapData blog. Very clever stuff. 
Just an idea. When someone presses the PrintScreen button, call 
his function getUIComponentBitmapData() to copy your screen into an image 
container.

[flexcoders] Re: From your own experience how long does it take to learn AS3?

[bhaq1972]

Referring back to your lessons is no different to what you would do if you were 
learning any new skill (eg learning English or French). You will keep doing 
that until you become familiarand then you move to more complex stuff.

My suggestion would be keep looking at examples, try them out. Then see how you 
can apply them. When you get stuck, post a question...see if its in scope of 
AS3 capabilities.

Like you, I came into programming with absolutely no background in IT. So its 
definately possible. A logical brain helps.
4 weeks is nothing.

[SPAM] Re: [flexcoders] DataGrid is blank

[bhaq1972]

sometimes setting the dataprovider to null (or new Object) worked for me.

partsGrid.dataProvider = null;
partsGrid.dataProvider = partsListCollection;

or 

set the dataProvider in another event like creationComplete.

[flexcoders] Re: ListEvent ItemRollOver columnIndex value is wrong

[bhaq1972]

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't know this was already raised. thanks for that.

I will check out JIRA. 
Its not a show stopper, you can easily get the "real" e.columnIndex by just 
adding the number of invisible columns that appear in the columns array before 
e.columnIndex.

ie

var invisibleColCount:int=0;

[bhaq1972]

I have an itemRollover event handler in my datagrid. 

This datagrid also has some invisble columns (i made them visible=false during

Now if I make col0 invisible, and col1 visible,

[flexcoders] Re: Problem Casting an Object to a known type

[bhaq1972]

Hi Nick
If the returned object has 3 nested levels its xml but if it 4 nested levels 
its not?

Do you use flexbuilder debugger? It might be worth putting a breakpoint at the 
point where you return from the httpserviceand examining it. It might not 
be a object which can be typecasted to ContactPerson().

Are you sure its a Compiler error or was it a Runtime error?

[flexcoders] Re: RTE - DataGridHeader/mouseOutHandler

[bhaq1972]

Hi Alex. 
Thanks for the advice. I think I know what chain of events is leading to this 
bug.its the appearance of the sort arrow.

When I place my mouse cursor on the bottom right corner of the column header 
(the position where the sort arrow appears) and click the header to retrieve my 
new sql. The new data is retrieved but at the same time, the appearance of 
the sort arrow actually triggers a DataGridHeader.MouseOut event (which leads 
to the RTE).

What iv'e done now is I disable the column (column.sortable=false) when I make 
the asynchronous call for new data. 
And then enable it (column.sortable=true) once I populate the datagrid with new 
data.

I don't see the sort arrow but that doesn't matter as this really isn't a sort. 

thanks anyway.

[flexcoders] Re: RTE - DataGridHeader/mouseOutHandler

[bhaq1972]

Yes. The initial dataProvider was showing all orders from the ORDER table (eg 
select * from ORDERS).

When a user clicks the column header I want to only show orders a specific type 
of order (eg select * from ORDERS where OrderType = 'short')

btw the column has an Image itemRenderer eg

I'm getting this runtime error which I hope someone can help me with.

Basically, I added a headerRelease event to my DataGrid. The plan is...when a 
user clicks a dg column header  rather than sorting the rows, i plan to 
re-populate the datagrid with rows from a different sql database call.

[flexcoders] Re: DataGridColumn widths not correct when Datgrid horizontalScrollPolicy=auto

[bhaq1972]

Hi Alex,

> DataGrid doesn't leave empty space on the right of the last column.  >It 
> always stretches the last column to the right edge.

Hmm.. that's not ideal for me. My last 2 columns have Image itemRenderers. For 
look and feel purposes, the column should be the same widths.

It would be the same scenario if the itemRenderers were CheckBoxes (centre 
aligned) ...you wouldn't want one column looking bigger than the other.

Apart moving these 2 columns from the end to some where in the middle,  is 
there a workaround for this?

Thanks for your help and knowledge.

[flexcoders] DataGridColumn widths not correct when Datgrid horizontalScrollPolicy=auto

[bhaq1972]

Hi List

When DataGrid horizontalScrollPolicy="auto", the DatagridColumn widths are not 
correct. 
When I scroll right(on the dg horizontalscroll bar).

I can see my last 2 columns are not the same width (eventhough i set them both 
to 20).

When horizontalScrollPolicy=off .both widths are the same


What am I missing?
Any ideas?

Just a guessI think your problem is "TabNavigatorObj.getChildren().length"
Its not what you think it is (do a trace on it).

instead, try using
TabNavigatorObj.addChild(this);

Sorry I can't remember. It was always quite confusing because there was one for

if your interested, i've compressed an xml string in flex like this

var byteData:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
byteData.writeUTFBytes("");
byteData.position = 0;
byteData.compress();

Then passed this ByteArray to a c# webservice, where i uncompressed it 
(using sharpziplib library) like this.

// Unzip (c# code) - myBytes are the compressed bytes from flex 
byte[] writeData = new byte[4096];
Stream inStream = new InflaterInputStream(new MemoryStream(myBytes));
while (true)
{
   iSize = inStream.Read(writeData, 0, writeData.Length);
   if (iSize == 0)
   {
 break;
   }
stringXML += System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(writeData, 0, 
iSize);

I modified your dataprovider to look like this


 
  
etc..
 


And it works fine.

[flexcoders] Re: Header Renderer

[bhaq1972]

Yes (shown below). 

But I actually prefer the other Fotis' suggestionbut you will have 
to ensure signOut() is defined in the parentDocument.


  
 
  
  public function signOut():void
  {
  }

[flexcoders] Re: Header Renderer

[bhaq1972]

You have to embed a  tag inside the Component tag i.e




etc

Hi jo

I've had a little play around with what you gave and came up with the 
following example. Let us know if this is what you want.

Not sure, i'll have a play around.
Maybe someone else can take a look.

Sorry i'm a bit unclear. Another suggestion ...

You want to create DatgridColumns based on whats in the DataProvider.

If your dataProvider Array is something like the following

var myArray:Array = 
[{parent:'root1',col1:100,date:myObject[0],col2:33},
 {parent:'root1',col1:5,date:myObject[1],col2:21},
 {parent:'root2',col1:11,date:myObject[2],col2:5}];

then why not do something like this
var row:Object = myArray[0];

for(var obj1:Object in row)
{
  var col:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn();
  col.dataField = obj1;
}

If you want to add columns dynamically, you need something like this

var colNum:int=5
for(var i:int=0;i

Sorry for the late response (the weekend had begun) 

Yes it does. If you look at the source for the generated wrapper it 
shows 

"bgcolor", "#ff",

One reason why I was struggling (which lead to my posted 
question)
My Application.backgroundColor was defined in an external stylesheet 
(with all my other styles). But this does not get picked up.

It only seems to work when you define it in the mxml tag.

[flexcoders] Generated html page backgroundcolour

[bhaq1972]

I have my Flexbuilder set to the default settings. 

How can I make sure the generated HTML wrapper has a white 
backgroundColor. I know its something to do with ${bgcolor}. But how 
do I set this?

Any help would be appreciated.

[flexcoders] Re: loadWSDL() equivalent method

[bhaq1972]

> What are you trying to do?

What I noticed with , is if a fault occurs, i need to 
call loadWSDL() before i can reuse the webservice object (maybe its 
the way i'm using it).

So i was thinking is there anything like that for RemoteObject. But 
its okay, i've decided to re-instantiate the object with all its 
initial values...and that seems to do the trick.

thanks for looking
