[flexcoders] BlazeDS consumer working with Firefox but not Internet Explorer

[gedavies]

My flex 3 client starts up and makes an initial httpservice call to get an 
arraycollection of data then subscribes to a feed destination for updates 
every couple of minutes.  I have a status field to show the time of the last 
update.

This is working fine with Firefox but it appears that the IE client never 
receives any updates.  

Any thoughts?

Geoff.

Figured it out from an adobe bug report:

[flexcoders] Re: Reoading a view from a viewstack

[gedavies]

I have a series of tabs and I use the show event in the individual 
components.  Then I keep a needsReloading boolean value that is based upon 
event data from a controller.  If the tab is selected, the show event kicks in 
and the data is reloaded based upon the needsReloading boolean.  

Not sure if that is what you are looking for but I hope it helps.

 My application uses a ToggleButtonBar with a viewstack as it's dataprovider. 
 When the app is first loaded and each component is called in the stack, it 
 loads the component and runs it's initApp() on the creationComplete. However 
 when you go back it's already loaded and doesn't run the initApp() and pull 
 new external data. 
 
 Is there a way to automatically reload the component each time a generated 
 button is pushed in the ToggleButtonBar?

 In general, the Image and SWFLoader controls are a bit problematic

 don't set explicit values for the width and height ( see this test:

[flexcoders] 9-slice question/problem

[gedavies]

I suspect I can guess the answer but looking for the definitive 
resolution on a 9-Slice question.

I have an image that is 960(x) by 113(y) and I want it to dynamically 
stretch across the screen as a header/title banner but keep the same 
height.  

Say for example my screen is 1200 wide.  I would like the image to 
stretch to 1200 x 113.  I have divided the image up using 9-Slice as:
[Embed(
 source=images/header.png, 
 scaleGridTop=70, scaleGridBottom=86, 
 scaleGridLeft=199, scaleGridRight=900
)]

[Bindable]
public var FancyBorderImage:Class;

For the sake of an example, I am using the following to display the 
image:
mx:Panel x=0 y=0 width=100% height=600 layout=absolute
  mx:Image source={FancyBorderImage} x=0 y=0  height=113 /
  mx:Image source={FancyBorderImage} x=0 y=200 width=100%   
height=113 /
  mx:Image source={FancyBorderImage} x=0 y=400 width=1200  
height=200  /
/mx:Panel

Here is the issue - the image will not scale horizontally with the 
original height of 113.  
It only scales horizontally beyond the original 960 width in the 3rd 
case when I increase the height.  
I was hoping the 2nd example would be the working one under 9-slice.

Ideas?

Geoff.
