[flexcoders] e4x with XMLListCollections?
I have a hunk of XML that I have
loaded into an XMLListCollection. It describes a training course
catalog. I'm trying to write a function to return the title of a course
when passed the "KeyID" of a specific course instance, and am running into all
sorts of problems (it ain't working being the worst of them).
Here's the
XML:
catalogtrainingEvent
keyID="1" title="Programming 101" eventCost="499.99"trainingEventInstance keyID="1"
trainingEventID="1" location="Houston" eventDate="02/11/2007"
instanceCost="499.99" /trainingEventInstance keyID="2" trainingEventID="1"
location="Houston" eventDate="04/19/2007" instanceCost="499.99" /trainingEventInstance keyID="3"
trainingEventID="1" location="Las Vegas" eventDate="04/19/2007"
instanceCost="299.99" //trainingEventtrainingEvent keyID="2" title="Miter Saw
Safety" eventCost="300.00"trainingEventInstance keyID="4" trainingEventID="2"
location="Houston" eventDate="12/25/2006" instanceCost="300.00" //trainingEvent/catalog
... it's loaded into an
XMLListCollection called myCollection using HTTP service with
resultFormat=e4x
I'm trying to ignore the
trainingEventID attribute, since it might be going away. I was trying to
do some e4x magik to find the title like this, where the parameter is the KeyID
of the trainingEventInstance:
public function getCourseTitle(
instanceID:Number ):String {return
myCollection.source.trainingEvent.trainingEventInstance.(@keyID ==
instanceID).parent()[EMAIL PROTECTED];}
so when the function is passed 4, it returns "Miter Saw Safety"
Am I doing something wrong? Can I
not e4x using the "source" property? Any thoughts?
Thanks!

[flexcoders] drag only CERTAIN items from a list?
I have a tree for a training site. It has Courses who have CourseInstance children: info course title="Cooking 101" courseinstance location="Houston" date="02/11/1974" / courseinstance location="Chicago" date="12/23/2007" / /course ... I want people to be able to drag items off the tree and into a List (think of a shopping cart). I ONLY want them to be able to drag off the INSTANCES, not the course "container". I swear I saw something on the web about conditional dragging, but can't find it anywhere, and am not too clear how to do it with the Tree?

[flexcoders] tree labelFunction that an determine what type of node I'm dealing with?
I have a tree that has some XML returned from an HTTP service as its dataprovider The XML structure is essentially: things redthing id="1" name="Todd"/ bluething id="23" happy="yes"/ orangething green="no"/ /things I'd like my labelFunction to be able to react to the different types of things. In english it would do this: Hey, I have an item! Is this item a "redthing"? If so, return this as the String from labelFunction. If not, is it a "bluething"? ... You get the point. Is there a way (I'm new to XML, e4x, etc.) to get the xml... node... name? (not sure if these are the correct terms) or somehow discover what kind of node I'm looking at?

[flexcoders] comparing substrings case sensitively?
I'm trying to look for instances of characters in a String, using myString.indexOf() I was hoping to find there was a case sensitivity flag in there, but there isn't so it finds "Todd" in the string "My name is todd", which is not what I want in this specific index. Anyone have an easy way to do this?

[flexcoders] Flash Event vs FLexEvent in custom component?
I'm writing a custom component (extending UIComponent) and
want to issue some events.
All of them are simple "I happened" sort of events
like "loginButtonClicked", "theyMovedTheirMouse", etc -- no additional
information passed in the event object other than target, type,
etc.
I have been sending my events (flash.events.Event)like:
dispatchEvent( new Event("gutterChange") )
I noticed FlexEvent (mx.events.FlexEvent)in the help, and read that
it "represents the event object passed to the event listener for many Flex
events." from the help.
I doubtI need anything more than flash.events.Event, but I'm
wonderingif and whenI would want to use FLexEvent?
Thanks!
