Re: [flexcoders] Re: check for daylight savings time
Thanks, that's exactly what I needed. The isDST function didn't seem to work for me (always returned false), but comparing my date's against the dst start and dst end worked.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: DataGrid selection w/ filtered contents
Thanks...I wish I had a good example of when that didn't work for me... I
had times when the data would be filtered down such that the item previously
selected was still selected, but its index had changed. If I tried to tell
the grid to select the new index, it ignored my command because the same
item was selected. I had to toggle no selection/selection to get it to
behave properly.
The selectedIndex behavior really seems like a bug to me...
http://flexninja.com/examples/DGFilterTest/DGFilterTest.html. If you type
'3' for example, only 3 and 13 will be left, but the grid will claim the
selectedIndex is 3 (because that's 3's previous index.)

I'm simply trying to make sure that when the collection is filtered,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Trick button into rendering mouseover/mouseout states
Right, I dug around for a while in the framework and CSS looking for the
actual skin. In LinkButtonSkin.as, it specifies the upskin and overskin,
but because this is all inside a single file and it uses the appropriate
skin, it seems that I can't tell it to use the upskin for the overskin
case overSkin:
{
drawRoundRect(
0, 0, w, h, cornerRadius,
rollOverColor, 1);
break;
}
If I ever run into any issues with my .png I can just copy the skin file and
replace rollOverColor, 1 with 0, 0 for every state and I'll get the same
effect.
Thanks

Do you mean the CSS from the framework? Because the only applicable css
I've seen is:
LinkButton

disabledSkin: ClassReference(null);
/*downIcon: null; */
downSkin: ClassReference(null);

/*selectedUpIcon: null; */
selectedUpSkin: ClassReference(null);
skin: ClassReference(mx.skins.halo.LinkButtonSkin);
/*upIcon: null; */
upSkin: ClassReference(null);
}
Setting my over skin to ClassReference(null) makes it appear (I think) like
a normal button, while using ClassReference(mx.skins.halo.LinkButtonSkin)
will make it behave like a typical LinkButton does when moused over. Again
though, it currently looks great and behaves the way I want it to. Is there
a reason for me to not do it just with an alpha image?

Yeah, I didn't understand states. Changing from one state to another always unplays the properties and styles set in the previous state. Not a fan of that at all but that explains all my confusion.

Re: [flexcoders] So I guess I don't understand states
Not sure what you mean...I didn't research it beyond figuring out my problem... I had a viewstack with normal and no data views and wanted it to stay the same (either in no data or normal) when going to the updating/downloading state. Was frustrated when my normal state was inexplicably showing the no data view when it went to the updating state. I finally figured out it was undoing the current state (normal) and reverting back to the previous values, which incidentally were applied by the no data state. Once I moved all the code to transitions which are not undone, it worked fine. My current understanding is that anything you wish to be undone after you move to another state should be done in states. Any effect or permanent change should be done in transitions.

will make it behave like a typical LinkButton does when moused over. Again
though, it currently looks great and behaves the way I want it to. Is there
a reason for me to not do it just with an alpha image?
Thanks

So no way that's purely CSS? Is there a reason for me to not use my current

Re: [flexcoders] parsing complex xml
I was trying both routes- dataprovider and and iterating.
dataProvider:
function dataReceived(data:XML):void
{
list.dataProvider = data.configuration.category;
}
With the above, nothing showed up in the list. The xml sample I provided in
my original email was all wrapped by a con tag by the server.
Iterating over it I tried:
function dataReceived(data:XML):void
{
for (var category:XML in data.configuration.category)
{
trace(category.toXMLString();
}
}
The flex page that needs to render this will allow the user to configure
each item, so I need a way to read and write to those items while still
leaving the comments in tact.
Thanks!

a for loop. Or For Each, or For In. The docs have some more detail and
examples.
A list can also use XMLList as a dataProvider if you do not plan to
programmaticlly update the dataprovider. If you do, simply wrap the XMLList
in an XMLListCollection.
It looks like you will need to declare the default namespace, or use the
namespace::node in all e4x expressions.
You've not shown any expressions, so I can't say what you're doing wrong.

*Subject:* [flexcoders] parsing complex xml
I'm trying to parse a complex xml file (a log4j config file) and am
running into a number of problems:
* Flex seems to remove all the comments from the file. Is there any
way to prevent this? I don't need access to them in Flex, but do want
them to be untouched.
* I have no idea how to iterate over the items or to set xml as a
list's data provider. The tag containing everything I need to access
is log4j:configuration, and when I try to access
xml.log4j::configuration flex complains about not having the property
log4j.
If anyone knows of good xml tutorials that would help me to grasp this
better I'd really appreciate it. Most of the ones I've found are
basically the hello world of xml parsing...the few dealing with
namespaces do little to explain what they're doing.
log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j=http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/;
debug=false

priority value=INFO/
/category

[flexcoders] CSS inheritance?
I'm trying to find a cleaner way of doing css. Right now I have a common border style used frequently throughout my app, and a couple common container styles (background, padding, width, etc.). I'd like a way to have the different container styles reference the border style, instead of duplicating those values. Does anyone know if there's a good way to do this in flex's limited css? Right now I'm just trying to find the least common denominators and split those out to separate classes. Thanks!
[flexcoders] flex2 change sdk?
How do you select which SDK to use in flex builder 2? In 3 you can specify a default for all projects and set one for each project.
[flexcoders] Catch exceptions outside of try block?
I'm sure I'm going at this wrong, but don't know what to do... I'm setting the data of a custom component with an image element. When the component finishes starting up the image grabs its source from the data provider and a function catches the IOError event and throws its text as an exception so the application can know about the failure. The problem I'm having is with the delay between the set data and creation complete of the component. By the time the image tries to access the source (and fails), my application is past that try/catch block and can't handle it. What's the right way to do this? Better yet, is there a way in flex to try to access various different kinds of files to see if the address is valid? Thanks! -dennis

[flexcoders] VideoDisplay: why does play restart buffering after load?
I'm trying to avoid using VideoDisplay's default buffering and loading/playing videos manually. For some reason, calling load and then play sometimes makes the player start buffering again from the very beginning. I assume this is caused by one of the booleans sourceChanged or closeCalled not being reset by the load, but since they are private, I can't access them. Does anyone know a way around this? I think I'm on my fourth attempt at changing buffering because I keep hitting brick walls with the player... Any advice would really be appreciated. Thanks!
[flexcoders] VideoDisplay lies about bytesLoaded
I'm using a changewatcher to observe the bytesLoaded attribute of a videoDisplay and update the UI accordingly. This works well most of the time, but once during each of the longer videos, bytesLoaded will jump, then continue loading. bytesLoaded / bytesTotal: 3186688/4971903 4971903/4971903 -- wrong 1900544/4971903 4247552/4971903 4971903/4971903 Does anyone know what could be causing this? Is there a better way to do this than using a changewatcher? Thanks.
[flexcoders] VideoDisplay intelligent buffering?
Are there any tricks to make the VideoDisplay's buffering work a little better? The default behavior of simply waiting a number of seconds isn't ideal because if it's a short video, this may be too long, and if it's a long video, this may be too short. If anyone has come up with a good way of handling this, I'd love some advice. Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Any way to make legend scroll vertically?
In case anyone else hits this... To make a legend scroll, just give it an unbounded width/height and wrap it in a canvas that has a bounded width and height. This will trigger the canvas to create scrollbars when necessary.

No, I'm doing it with the template html file. I've double-checked the html source in my browser after running and they're all there.
