Re: [flexcoders] Re: How do I call a custom tooltip function for my TabBar items?
Hi Daniel,
The children are only buttons, autocreated by the TabBar when you pass
it data (ArrayCollection or Arrays) as its DataProvider. My
DataProvider has labels and icon values that gets passed to the
buttons.
The custom tooltip I wanted to use looks the same as the errorTooltip
you get when you get an errror in Flex, so I overrode the default one,
re-skinned it, and made it look on-brand (it's normally red as you
know). I wanted to tap into the arrows from errorRight, errorBelow
etc from the Flex errorTip and use that as my custom tooltip.
Here's the code that does it all, if anyone runs into similar issues
and want to call a custom tooltip using the TooltipManager, calling
custom tooltips that is not a Panel etc.
.errorTip {
font-family:MyFont;
font-weight:normal;
font-size: 12px;
color: #00;
padding-left: 0;
padding-bottom: 4;
background-alpha: 1;
corner-radius: 0;
drop-shadow-enabled: false;
border-color:#FF;
}
I ended up doing this:
CustomTooltip code:
___
[Bindable]
public var myTip:ToolTip;
public var tab:Tab;
private function tb_creationComplete(event:Event):void
{
this.selectedIndex = _selectedIndex;
for (var i:uint = 0; i tb.dataProvider.length; i++)
{
tab = Tab(tb.getChildAt( i ));
tab.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, createTip);
tab.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,
destroyTip);
}
}
private function createTip(event:MouseEvent):void
{
tab = Tab(event.target);
var tabLabel:String =
sectionCollectionArray.getItemAt(
tb.getChildIndex(DisplayObject(event.target)) ).label;
myTip =
ToolTipManager.createToolTip(tabLabel,tab.x+75,
tab.y+19,toolTipRight) as ToolTip;
myTip.setStyle(styleName, errorTip);
myTip.percentWidth = 100;
myTip.percentHeight = 100;
}
private function destroyTip( event:Object ):void
{
ToolTipManager.destroyToolTip(myTip);
}
TabBar code:
__
mx:TabBar id=tb dataProvider={sectionCollectionArray}
width=59
right=5
direction=vertical
alpha=1.0
itemClick={dispatchEvent(event)}
horizontalScrollPolicy=off
verticalScrollPolicy=on
tabWidth=60
tabHeight=57
verticalGap=5
top=5
labelField={null}
iconField=icon
buttonMode=true
styleName=leftTabItemSkin
creationComplete=tb_creationComplete(event);

What kind of children are you adding to the TabBar? I have a tabbed

separate MXML files. I simply set the toolTip=Custom tooltip text in
the attribute of the root MXML tab and each child shows its own
tooltip when hovered. Is that what you're looking for? Even if you're
creating and adding the children in AS you should be able to set the
toolTip for each one to the string you want. The components will

Re: [flexcoders] Access MySQL directly from Flex client
I don't know of an open-source implementation without a middle-layer. There was a blog post ages ago about someone putting together a flex-mysql connector but haven't seen any activity as of late. Let me know if you find it. Check out www.osflash.org for potential projects. You've probably have seen this feature in FB3, that's your best bet to quickly get something up and running, without writing much code, though for serious apps, it might need optimization afterwards: http://www.onflex.org/ted/2007/09/flex-3beta-2-crud-wizard-for-aspnet-php.php HTH, /j On Tue, Mar 4, 2008 at 12:57 AM, Shailesh Mangal [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I need to quickly put together a dashboard where the data will come from mysql.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: any ideas about flex client side caching?
Hi,
Zhu FengCan I delete files by using action script APIs? When I use the shared
object, I don't want the .sol files stay in disk persistently, although
we can clear the context of the file.
You could use onUnload() see example code below [1] or use
onBeforeUnload() events in IE (not sure about the other browsers
FireFox/Mozilla/Opera/Safari etc) to trap the event triggered when the
browser is closing down and then call Flash [2]. When the close event
is detected in Flash you could physically delete the SharedObjects
from disk using the solution described in [3].
code
function onUnloadHandler(){
if(self.VBArray){
var e = self.event, s = self.screen;
if(e.clientX + s.width 0 e.clientY + s.height 0
typeof(window.onclose) == function)
{
window.onclose();
};
};
};
>
function onclose(){
alert(The window has left the desktop);
};
/code
Zhu Feng3. When I close the browser, I want to capture this event
and clear the context of shared object (or remove the file if action
script can do this). Could AS capture this kind of event?
Basically: Macromedia's docs don't show us how to remove the physical
file from a user's drive, (although they say it's possible), but we can
combine two things we know already to figure it out. Firstly, when we
write a SO with no properties in its data child, no file is written.
Secondly when we delete a property from the data child and re-write the
SO the property is removed from the file on the disk also. So in order
to delete the actual file, one need only delete all the properties of
the data child. This is probably best done with a for...in loop. [3]

If you're saving sensitive data then use an encryption scheme to scramble your

There are many implementations being ported to AS2, just google it and you'll

You can allow all swfs from a domain to read/write to same SharedObject,
There is second parameter to SharedObject.getLocal(..,..) method. Read about

var so = SharedObject.getLocal ('myCookie', /);
This way all swfs in same domain have access to myCookie SO...But remember

true. i wouldn't say it was painful but we had more trouble trying to
get flex working through jrun, as we wanted to deploy on the same
server instance as coldfusion + using apache 2 as the webserver. our
coldfusion apps are already being served through the main context /
(http://ourdomain.com/) and now we can see flex through
http://ourdomain.com/flex/ourapp.mxml).
the only bad thing about this is that if the coldfusion server instance
goes down so will our flex apps. this is fine for dev and stage we
think.
