[flexcoders] Re: Gantt Chart
Hmmm..so i guess that only got me 10% of the way there. Is there a way to put dates on the linear access? I also want custom labels for those dates. I.E. 10/1/2007 would equal Q1 2008. I also want the axis labels to appear at the top and bottom. Doug - I'm interested in those click and drag style bars that Ely described how to do. I will build those with you if your interested.

Clint, you're a genius. I just downloaded the sample pack and tried it out. Functionally it looks like it could work! I haven't look at the code yet and I'm going home for the night. Does anyone have any experience with the scheduler? The executives at my company are going to use this tool and I'm kind of scared to use an .01 alpha version. If anyone wants to dredge through it with me and exchange code that would be great! Thanks for the suggestion Clint. -Nate --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Clint Tredway [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just a shot in the dark here, but you could use the scheduling frame work to use it as a Gantt chart...

[flexcoders] Re: Gantt Chart
Nice Doug. What about dates? In theory how would that part hook up? I would argue that a time line of dates might be the most important part. I like what you did a lot. If we could combine what you did with the sliders with how the scheduler works I think we would have a really useful Gantt chart. I'm going to try it out. I'm only on day 11 of my Flex career though ;). If we do start building a Gantt chart as a community is there a place where we can post and share code/examples? Should I just post links to this mailing list? When we make something cool should we just send it to Doug to put on his blog? ;) I'm really a .NET developer and we would use Codeplex if we wanted to do a project like this. I was wondering if flex had anything like that. I'm going to start a feature list. Please adjust/add/subtract to it depending on what you want/need in a Gantt chart. Features wish list: Bar chart type representation Time line of dates at the top and/or bottom Have a mechanism to adjust the length and position of the bar (like Doug's example) Zoom feature to look at the dates by hour/day/month/quarter/year (like the scheduler does) Please add to this list! :) -Nate --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Doug McCune [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here's my attempt that uses the DataGrid approach: http://dougmccune.com/blog/2007/02/01/building-a-gantt-chart-component-in-flex/ It uses adjustable sliders, so you can adjust each item.

[flexcoders] Re: Gantt Chart
Hey Clint, im having problems with the scheduler. After reading up on it some it seems that it can't handle large dates spans. For example I can't have an entry with a year between the start and end date. I guess this is because they used int where they should of used Number. Have you encountered this? I'm thinking i might just do a find and replace all through all the files Im very desperate. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Clint Tredway [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: yes, very cool.

[flexcoders] Custom Charting Questions from Ely's Blog
Dear Charting Gurus/Awesome People, I was reading Ely's blog on easy custom charting (which i think is great!) and read some interesting questions in his comment section. It turns out I have the same questions as these guys. They haven't been answered yet, so I thought I would post them here and see if anyone could answer them. Here is a link to Ely's blog post. http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/2006/12/04/some-thoughts-and-exampl\ es-on-making-custom-flex-charts-simpler/ 1) Arthur 12.26.06 / 11am Can you suggest a good flex sample site, other than adobe, with some good examples, thanks 2) Michael 12.11.06 / 11am Ely, Where do you think would be the best place to learn more about creating custom charts? I find a lot of your samples greatly useful, but I am having trouble understanding how to create my own chart types. I have recently found some code you did for a radar chart and I love it, but I am having a hard time modifying it to do what I want it to just because I am not very familiar with creating custom charts. Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for all you do for the flex community!! 3)Kazi 1.1.07 / 5pm Hi Ely!!! Great job!!! I did like all your examples. Very very helpful!!! I have a question, how can I have multiple y axes but one x axis. Multiple means much more than 2, at least 30!!! This way I will be able to stack many charts and then will be able to compare all those with respect x axis. My last question is if my x axis is a date/time axis then how I can mark the back ground with multiple color. As an example suppose my x axis starts from 1/1/07 and ends at 31/12/07. From 1/1/07 to 3/31/07 back ground will be blue and from 4/1/07 to 9/30/07 will be green and 10/1/07 to 12/31/07 will be yellow This is just the back ground. How can I do that?? Thanks for your time and all your help!! By the way Happy New Year and hope to see some more excellent examples from you in coming days. (I'm assuming that Kazi is using a bar chart. I don't even know how to get dates in on the x linear series! I was just going to convert he dates to numbers...any help would be appreciated.) 4)Joe 1.31.07 / 11am Hi, Love your work on the charting components and the useful tips on this site. I'm very interested at the moment in being able to highlight a particular bar on a column chart after it is clicked (to show the currently selected chart item). I will try to use this library to achieve that effect, since it seems to be the easiest way at the moment to do this. There was some info on the Flex charting helpfile on how to overlay a colored rectangle on a chart, but it didn't seem like it would work properly when the browser is resized without a lot more work on the coordinates handling. -Nate

[flexcoders] ArrayCollection Splice?
I'm porting over one of Ely's component's data provider from accepting an Array to accept an ArrayCollection. He uses item.splice a lot where item is typed as an array. I want the same functionality in an array collection. Item[0].splice works, but im not sure this is the right way to do it. Should i use item.list.addItemAt? Thanks! -Nate
[flexcoders] Calling a webservice on initilize()
I'm trying to call a webservice. I would usually call it under Application creationComplete=dotNetService.GetCabinets() That is not working in my situation, i think i have to call it like this. Application initialize=dotNetService.GetCabinets(). But if I do that and debug it never hits the web service. I think this is because the code below does not get created. Any ideas?

[flexcoders] Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference
I often get this error and I usually know why. Does anyone know how
to check for a null reference?
i.e.
if (dataprovider[i].someValue is null){
dothis();
}
Where dataprovider[i] does not have a someValue property. I bet this
is pretty simple and I just don't know the syntax. Thanks in advance!
[flexcoders] Re: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference
What if the property.someValue does not exist? How do I check if the
reference to dataprovider[i].someValue property is null?
my dataprovider is an arraycollection and holds different objects.
Some objects have .someValue property and some do not. When i try to
step through it it doesn't like it when it expects a property but it
is not there.
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property Desc not found on
DragDrop_inlineComponent1 and there is no default value.

[flexcoders] Re: Hot news! Adobe Opens iPhone to Flash Developers
I hope someone from adobe can chime in here. Here's my take. Flex is just a framework built on AS3. This middleware compiler should be able to compile Flex AS3 code into native iPhone code no problem. The new framework should also help reduce the weight of your app and make it run faster. This is really great news. Our skills just got a lot more valuable today. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, oneworld95 oneworl...@... wrote: You're welcome. My boss owns an iPhone and wants everything we build to run on it. So I've been hunting high and low for any way to run Flash on the iPhone without a jailbreak. Some wording from the press release caught my eye: The Apple iPhone SDK license terms do not allow runtime interpreted code, so Adobe is not able to deliver Flash Player in Safari on the iPhone without support from Apple. Applications for the iPhone built with Adobe Flash Professional CS5 do not include any runtime interpreted code. So the apps built with CS5 will not include any runtime interpreted code.

[flexcoders] Plotting lots of data on a line chart
I have a dataset of about 10,000 points. I want to plot the data in a line chart. I don't need every single item to be plotted, i just need to shape of the data show up. I thought I'd done something like this before...but when I hooked it up earlier today it went really slow. Any thoughts?

[flexcoders] Select Region on Line Chart
I have a line chart over time. I want to select a region and get the data points under it (or at least the first and last). I don't care about selection in the Y axis, just the x axis. So if click the mouse and drag it right I want to select the area between x.mousestart to x.mouseend. The selectionMode is kind of what I want to implement, but I want draw for the whole height of the chart. Again, I don't care about selection in the Y axis, just the x axis. Any ideas? Thanks! Nate

[flexcoders] Adding objects to new air windows
Hi, I'm opening a new window in air and adding a child component to it in the same function. My child component is a grey overlay of the window to show that it's loading. While that's loading, I make a database call. When that data comes back I remove the loading overlay. Here's my problem, I can't get it to work when I add the loading overlay at the same time that I open a new window. If the window is already open, it works fine. I'm guessing there's something in the way that the component is built but i don't know. Does anyone have any ideas? thanks, Nate
