Re: [flexcoders] Re: Getting parent information from AdvancedDataGrid
Amy, You can't put the same object in your dataProvider twice. This is an error for DataGrid and AdvancedDataGrid. They use the UID to create Object-based hashes for various purposes. If you put the same object in there twice, the grid won't function properly. Here are two articles, one for each grid, that explain this (although, I think you've figured this out, I thought I'd post anyway for others): AdvancedDataGrid highlights wrong row with duplicate data: http://jonathanbranam.net/solutions/advanceddatagrid-highlights-wrong-row http://tinyurl.com/5kzjge DataGrid highlights wrong row with duplicate data: http://jonathanbranam.net/solutions/datagrid-highlights-wrong-row http://tinyurl.com/55hzhu Also, the UIDUtil class will only add an mx_internal_uid property to your data if you are using dynamic classes (like Object, Array, or a custom dynamic class). If you're using a strongly typed VO or XML, the method of storing the UID is different.

Re: [flexcoders] Setting up custom component listener
Jason,
applicationComplete is dispatched as soon as the SWF has finished
preloading, just after it has put the application on the display list, and
nothing else. I would use creationComplete for something like this. I don't
think there is any concern that the user will be able to interact with the
component before creationComplete fires.

Re: [flexcoders] Which event is dispatched when the view is shown by a stage change?
Hey João,
Posted online with SWF and View Source:
http://jonathanbranam.net/node/56
http://jonathanbranam.net/solutions/detect-state-addchild
There are two solutions that I've found to work in this case. This first is
to add a new public method to the component called activate() and then call
it from a handler on the
enterStatehttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/event/enterStateEvent.
The second is to listen to the
addedToStage http://jonathanbranam.net/flashphysiology/event/addedToStageand
updateComplete
http://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/event/updateCompleteevents,
set a flag in
addedToStage http://jonathanbranam.net/flashphysiology/event/addedToStagethat
you check in
updateComplete http://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/event/updateCompleteto
run your initialization.
Here is the code, example app, and more detailed explanation.
You can view the example on a separate
pagehttp://jonathanbranam.net/files/src/detect-state-addchild/DetectStateAddChild.htmland
view the source (View Source doesn't work in the embedded SWF below
due
to a bug in Flex Builder).
Explanation:
The first solution is easy and should be solid. The
enterStatehttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/event/enterStateEvent
fires after the component has been added to the stage (not during the
operation), so it is safer to access subcomponents. The method, however,
does not guarantee that the component has been fully updated yet. The
downside to this is adding more coupling between the
Statehttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/class/Stateand the
component.
1. mx:State name=solution1
2. mx:enterState
3. sol1.activate();
4. /mx:enterState
5. mx:RemoveChild target={noState}/
6. mx:AddChild
7. local:Solution1VBox id=sol1/
8. /mx:AddChild
9. /mx:State
The code in the component is equally obvious:
1. public function activate():void
2. {
3. ti.setFocus();
4. }
1. mx:Label text=Solution 1/
2. mx:TextInput text=No focus here!/
3. mx:TextInput id=ti text=Focus here!/
The second solution relies on the behavior of the
Statehttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/class/StateAddChild
operation. AddChild is true to its name, it will add and remove the
component from the display list. This means that the
addedhttp://jonathanbranam.net/flashphysiology/event/added,
addedToStage http://jonathanbranam.net/flashphysiology/event/addedToStage,
removed http://jonathanbranam.net/flashphysiology/event/removed, and
removedFromStagehttp://jonathanbranam.net/flashphysiology/event/removedFromStagemethods
will fire when the state is entered and exited. The trouble is that
the component has not been fully created when these events fire. The
solution I present here is to set a flag when the component has been added
to the stage so that the component knows that it needs to run its activation
code again:
1. protected var addedToStage:Boolean = false;
2. protected function addedToStageHandler(event:Event):void
3. {
4. if (event.target == this) {
5. addedToStage = true;
6. }
7. }
The next part of the solution uses the
updateCompletehttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/event/updateCompleteevent
to trigger the activation code. If the
addedToStage code has run since the most recent update, then we run the
activation code.
1. protected var addedToStage:Boolean = false;
2. protected function addedToStageHandler(event:Event):void
3. {
4. if (event.target == this) {
5. addedToStage = true;
6. }
7. }
Note that
updateCompletehttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/event/updateCompletefires
every time the component is invalidated through something like
invalidateDisplayList(). I put a button in the component so you can trigger
updateComplete http://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/event/updateComplete.
If you remove the check for addedToStage, then invalidating the component
will run the activation code again, which is not the desired behavior. See
the article on
updateCompletehttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/event/updateCompletefor
more information about this event.
1. mx:Label text=Solution 2/
2. mx:TextInput text=No focus here!/
3. mx:TextInput id=ti text=Focus here!/
4. mx:Button label=Invalidate Component click=
invalidateDisplayList()/
I'm not sure which solution I like better. The first is more direct and
should be more resistant to changes in implementation or functionality. If
you move from using AddChild to toggling visibility, then you can still call
the activate() method from the
enterStatehttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/event/enterStateEvent.
However, this type of change will break the second solution.
Ultimately, there isn't a single, reliable event that will tell your
component it has now become viewable so you have to code up

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Repeater not repeating
And what would be the point of that? You can use an ArrayCollection as a substitute for Array in just about any situation and it will take care of the problem. If he could swap the original Array for a different class, just swap it for ArrayCollection and be done. That's what I would recommend anyway. If you extend Array to dispatch events on changes then you just wrote ArrayCollection again. It would support the methods on Array that aren't on ArrayCollection. This is assuming you can override the [] access using the flash_proxy methods, but I'm not sure if that works Array isn't a subclass of Proxy but it overrides their behavior. I'm not sure if you can do this or if its just magic (ie Flash internals)?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Styling AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer
Hi Amy,
I'm trying to follow along, but you've asked several questions now!
Setting the alpha property should work based on a simple test that I did. As
I look at your code, though, I think you have some confusion between the
alpha *property* and an alpha *style*. The alpha property is from Flash and
indeed you cannot see the source to it. It does appear to apply correctly to
Flex components and their skins. However, if you have a style called alpha
that does not affect the alpha property (unless you have coded this
connection).
OK. I think I see the problem. ADGItemRenderer extends UITextField which is
not a rendering component. The flexpearls post notes this, but doesn't
really get into the implications. The inheritance tree is: UITextField
FlexTextField TextField InteractiveObject DisplayObject. Therefore, a
UITextField doesn't have a graphics property (only descendants of Shape and
Sprite do), nor is it a DisplayObjectContainer. This means you cannot use
the drawing API or addChild(). Looking at the livedocs for TextField, it
doesn't appear to support alpha for background, so this is probably just not
possible. If you set the Flash alpha property, it might fade the background,
but it will also fade the text (if you have it embedded). The alpha property
is almost never used in Flex components. Although I don't know why, I would
steer away from it for that reason.
I would recommend forgetting about ADGItemRenderer. It is a very optimized
class that only displays text.
Subclass something else and do your background manipulation there. You can
make a fairly simple subclass of Label that is still pretty lightweight and
supports rowColor and rowAlpha (if you add the drawing yourself).
This is about as simple as I could get. You should keep all the nice code
you have about initializing styles and all that, of course!
[Style(name=rowColor)]
[Style(name=rowAlpha)]
public class ADGItemRendererBackgroundAlpha extends Label
{
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void
{
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
// Don't get styles this way in real code!
graphics.beginFill(getStyle(rowColor), getStyle(rowAlpha));
graphics.drawRect(0,0,unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
textField.setActualSize(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
}
}

Re: [flexcoders] Repeater not repeating
Tom,
It sounds like you are changing the contents of configArray? The
ArrayCollection will not notice if you manipulate the underlying Array after
the ArrayCollection has been created. You can either manipulate the
ArrayCollection directly, or reset the source property on the
ArrayCollection after you have changed the Array. Calling refresh() on the
ArrayCollection does not fix the problem.
For example, this works:
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute
mx:Script
![CDATA[
[Bindable]
protected var a:Array = [];
]]
/mx:Script
mx:creationComplete
![CDATA[
a.push({a:one});
ac.source = ac.source; // reassign the source property to
trigger a reset
]]
/mx:creationComplete
mx:ArrayCollection id=ac source={a}/
mx:DataGrid dataProvider={ac}/
/mx:Application

Re: [flexcoders] Repeater not repeating
Right. The data is there, that's not exactly the problem. The problem is that, although the data is there, the Repeater wasn't told that new data was available. It already looped through the data once when it was empty and it needs to be told that the data has changed. It listens to CollectionEvents and updates itself. Reassigning the source property is maybe the most accurate way to get the result, but it looks like calling refresh() on the ArrayCollection will trigger the Repeater to recreate its contents (FYI: This would NOT work for DataGrid). Repeater treats all CollectionEvents as equivalent except update which it ignores. As for currentItem, when you access that property the getter method will actually seek into the Collection if it hasn't been initialized yet, so accessing currentItem effectively sets the currentItem (and currentIndex) but it doesn't trigger creation of subcomponents.

But in debugging, I have confirmed that the ArrayCollection does contain the correct contents of the Array -- that the DataProvider in the Repeater also contains those contents -- and that the CurrentItem in the Repeater contains the correct contents. Could it be that the Repeater itself is not detecting the change from an empty AC to a populated one and not refreshing itself, even though its DataProvider is refreshed, because it's bound?

Re: [flexcoders] Repeater not repeating
Tom, Sure. It is confusing. I think the concept of the AC being updated and refreshed is the problem. I'd like to help you understand, because it will prevent future frustration! Your quote: I assumed (obviously incorrectly) that if the source of the AC was updated, and the contents of the AC refreshed (as was happening), the AC would dispatch some event that would alert bound objects (in this case, the Repeater) of the change. Specifically: contents of the AC refreshed (as was happening) The contents of the AC *is* the Array. So, when you change the Array, you are immediately changing the contents of the AC. There is no delay, no refresh, no update. It immediately changes and the AC immediately reflects those changes. If you do array.push(mydata) then ac.length it WILL be longer. And something like ac.getItemAt(ac.length-1) will immediately return mydata. Therefore, if you inspect the AC's source in the debugger it will always be up-to-date. The AC doesn't make a copy and it never has stale data. However, the AC itself does not know that its data has changed. If you call ac.addItem(mydate) then the AC knows that its data has changed. Only when the AC knows its data has changed does it dispatch any events. When you change the contents of the Array that the AC uses as source, it has no idea you've made any changes. Thus, any components using the AC are also not alerted to any changes. So, if a different event were to cause the component to loop through the AC again, it would see the new data. The trick is finding an event that does this reliably and repeatably. The easiest solution is to use the AC directly to change the data. Manipulating the AC will always update components that listen to events on the AC. On Thu, Jun 26, 2008 at 1:43 PM, Tom McNeer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: First, Amy, thanks for your suggestion.

super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
graphics.clear();
// Don't get styles this way in real code!
//graphics.beginFill(getStyle(rowColor), getStyle(rowAlpha));
graphics.beginFill(0x5566FF, 0.3);
graphics.drawRect(0,0,unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
}
}
Which I did. Just to back up a bit, the goal was to allow the
styleFunction to set the color and the amount that you could see the
rollover or selection indicator when the row was colored.
I guess I missed this. You can set the color already, from the flexpearls
article. Adjusting the rollover or selection indicator is a different matter
altogether.
But nothing I tried actually affected the alpha, until finally I
changed the blendMode, which allowed the change to be visible, but
both the text and the background, which wasn't the effect I was
looking for, especially since it didn't match the
AdvancedDataGridGroupItemRenderer, which descends from UIComponent
and behaves sensibly.
Right. Changing the blendMode alters the way that Flash decides to render
the component. You should find that setting cacheAsBitmap to true will have
the same effect. When you apply a blend to a DisplayObject Flash renders it
to a bitmap internally and then applies the blend to the bitmap. Because the
component is now rendered as a bitmap it will honor the alpha property on
its contents in a way that it would not previously. Actually, I couldn't get
cacheAsBitmap or blendMode to do this to the AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer. I
had to add a filter, which did it immediately. Maybe another feature of
TextFields.
It actually does, which is why it has an alpha property. The secret
is that you either have to embed the font or change the blend mode,
otherwise it stubbornly refuses to show any changes you make to the
property.
As explained above, when you cause the component to be rendered as a bitmap
then it will begin to behave differently, such as honoring the alpha
property when it normally would not, because it is using a non-embedded
font. Of course, embedding the font also allows the alpha to be set. But, as
I understood your question, you wanted to change the alpha of just the
background. What I said was that the component does not appear to support
that operation. All DisplayObjects have an alpha property, but text
components don't honor its setting in the same way.
I would recommend forgetting about ADGItemRenderer. It is a very
optimized
class that only displays text.
And also icons...
The problem is that I don't properly understand how it draws the leaf
icon, so I am reluctant to mess with it too much. My explorations in
the source code didn't leave me any the wiser about this.
Right. It actually doesn't display icons so it isn't in the source code. For
example, this does not display leaf icons nor does it indent the renderer:
mx:AdvancedDataGrid id=adg
dataProvider={hd}
width=100% height=100%
mx:columns
mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn
itemRenderer=mx.controls.advancedDataGridClasses.AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer
dataField=title/
/mx:columns
/mx:AdvancedDataGrid
This only applies to the first column, however. Do you only have one column?
If you want leaf icons and such (maybe I missed that), you need to subclass
AdvancedDataGridGroupItemRenderer. That will draw the icons just fine for
you and, as you mentioned, it is a subclass of UIComponent and you can draw
a background on it just fine.
Ultimately, I abandoned my attempts to gain control over the alpha of
the background and opted for something that allowed me to see the
rollover in a reasonably attractive manner--setting blendMode on both
itemRenderer classes to DARKEN. I may have to change the mode on
that once I get the real styleFunction working rather than just a
placeholder that returns back yellow to everything. I'll probably
just add a style that sets the blendMode, so I can adjust it based on
the color needed.
I wish the docs would point out these limitations so that people can
estimate time needed to accomplish tasks better. If you read the
docs, it sounds like this task should be a walk in the park.
Well... it's tough for Adobe. They could use the richest classes everywhere
so that customizing them is easier, but performance and memory would suffer.

Re: [flexcoders] viewSourceURL is getting overridden ??
I'm having the same problem. The Export Release Build dialog always resets the value. This is breaking View Source when I embed into a page that doesn't have the flex source directly in it. As the value is encoded into the SWF (I think) there doesn't seem to be a way to fix this after the fact. Maybe it's a bug? There is probably a way to Export Release Build using the command line tools that probably doesn't have this feature of rewriting viewSourceURL. Can anyone give us a pointer on that command.

Re: [flexcoders] How to filter HierarchicalCollectionView????
moonrchand,
(Also posted at
http://jonathanbranam.net/solutions/filter-hierarchicalcollectionview-parent-child-datawith
SWF and source code):
Any function applied to the filterFunction of
HierarchicalCollectionViewhttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/class/HierarchicalCollectionViewis
applied to all of the elements in the collection. It can filter items
at
different levels of the hierarchy as long as the method itself understands
the hierarchy.
You can view the example on a separate
pagehttp://jonathanbranam.net/files/src/filter-hierarchy/FilterHierarchicalCollectionView.htmland
view the source (View Source doesn't work in the embedded SWF below
due
to a bug in Flex Builder).
This is the definition of the
AdvancedDataGridhttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/class/AdvancedDataGrid.
Nothing special here:
1. mx:AdvancedDataGrid id=adg
2. dataProvider={hd}
3. width=100% height=100%
4. mx:columns
5. mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn
6. dataField=title/
7. /mx:columns
8. /mx:AdvancedDataGrid
The filter function is applied like this:
1. // Set the filter function and refresh the collection view.
2. adg.hierarchicalCollectionView.filterFunction = myFilter;
3. adg.hierarchicalCollectionView.refresh();
And it uses the CheckBoxes defined here to enable and disable its
operation:
1. mx:CheckBox id=tParents label=Parents that start with 'T'
change=criteriaChanged()/
2. mx:CheckBox id=fourChildren label=Parents with at least four
children change=criteriaChanged()/
3. mx:CheckBox id=adChild label=Children named 'A' or 'D' change
=criteriaChanged()/
Finally, here is the filter code. This would be simpler if you have a
single filter you need to apply, but the example shows some dynamic
behavior. The filter should return true for any item that is included in the
display, and false otherwise. Notice that if you return false for a parent
item, then it and all of its children will be filtered out. If you return
true for a parent item, then you can still filter its children.
1. protected function myFilter(item:Object):Boolean
2. {
3. var title:String = item.title.toString();
4.
5. // If the tParent filter is selected and this item it a parent
6. if (tParents.selected item.parent) {
7. // Then fail if the name doesn't start with a T.
8. if (title.substr(0,1).toUpperCase() != T) {
9. return false;
10. }
11. }
12.
13. // If the fourParent filter is selected and this item is a
parent
14. if (fourChildren.selected item.parent) {
15. // Then fail if the parent doesn't have at least four
children.
16. if (item.children.length 4) {
17. return false;
18. }
19. }
20.
21. // if the adChild filter is selected and this is a child (not
a parent)
22. if (adChild.selected !item.parent) {
23. // Then fail if the child is not an A or a D
24. if (title.toUpperCase() != A title.toUpperCase() !=
D) {
25. return false;
26. }
27. }
28.
29. // Either all filters are disabled, or they all passed (or
don't apply to this node)
30. return true;
31. }
To filter a parent based on the data in its children, you simply have to
process the children when the filter is asked about the parent. There must
be some way for you to perform this operation on the parent. In this case, I
have simply added a property to the parent object called parent and set it
to true. There is nothing special about this property. You could also check
the children property for null or check its length. In many cases, you will
have a typed object that is the parent that is different than the type of
the children.
Explanation
HierarchicalCollectionViewhttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/class/HierarchicalCollectionViewapplies
the
filterFunction to the main data source and also to all of the open nodes in
the hierarchy. When you apply a filter function and then refresh the list
(don't forget the filter isn't applied until you call refresh()), it loops
through all the open nodes and sets the filterFunction property and calls
refresh() on each of them. Closed nodes are not processed until they are
open. When the
HierarchicalCollectionViewhttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/class/HierarchicalCollectionViewopens
a node, it applies the
filterFunction set on itself to the node. This will wipe out any filters you
may have tried to set yourself, which is one reason why you can only have a
single filter on the entire hierarchy.
I have an example SWF on the site as well as the source code for the
example. This is my first attempt to post the copy-paste HTML, so I hope the
formatting comes out OK.
Re: [flexcoders] Re: uint unset value
Amy,
When you get the value of the style, you need to store it in an untyped
variable. This will allow you to check for undefined. If you store the value
in an int, uint or Boolean, for example, it will be converted from
undefinedto the default value of that type (0, 0, or
false, respectively).
var myStyle:* = getStyle(myStyle);
if (myStyle == undefined) {
myStyle = 42; // appropriate default
}
var myStyleUntyped:* = getStyle(myStyle);
var myStyle:int = 42; // appropriate default
if (myStyle != undefined) {
myStyle = myStyleUntyped;
}
You could also store the value in a variable typed Object. In my testing, I
found that this stores null instead of undefined because an Object cannot be
undefined. Only an untyped variable or an nonexistent property can be
undefined.
Actionscript has strict rules about what values can be assigned to variables
of specific types. The undefined and null values, in particular, cannot be
assigned to many of the basic types. Only an untyped variable can be
undefined and only variables that represent classes which are descendants of
Object can be null. Numeric variables such as int and uint always have a
value. The Number type can be NaN, but is never null or undefined. The
String type can be null, but not undefined. The Boolean type must always be
true or false and is never null or undefined.
These rules help limit the number of edge cases in the language and the
impact of uninitialized variables, but can also be confusing.

Re: [flexcoders] Tabbing to an HBox
There is a special marker interface that a component must implement in order to receive focus from tabbing. Since those components don't extend that interface, they don't get into the tab order, I believe. The interface is mx.managers.IFocusManagerComponent. If you make a custom component that extends that interface, then setting focusEnabled and tabEnabled will have the desired effect.

You want the bounds of what you drew, so getBounds(this) should be
correct.
If you set scaleX/Y to zoom, you shouldn't need to do anything. If you
set scaleX/Y on an internal thing to zoom or in the case of the circle,
multiply the radius by some zoom factor, then you have to report that new
measuredWidth/Height in measure() and maybe call invalidateList if you have
some property like zoomFactor that we're not already watching for changes

I thought the container reference was needed by the getBounds() method -
it requires an argument of a UIComponent of some kind, I thought the custom

re-sized. If I don't need the container reference, then maybe I could just
say getBounds(this) instead and it would work.
Also, I want to implement a method to scale the graphics up and down, I

I think in the general case, you'll need to set minHeight/minWidth to
zero or something small on the Panel or have fixed width/height on the Panel
to get the Panel to consider putting up scrollbars.
The graphics object should compute measuredMinWidth/measuredMinHeight to
be the same as measuredWidht/Height so the Panel will not try to shrink it
past its dimensions.
If you can compute the measurements w/o drawing then you don't need
commitProperties and just draw in updateDisplayList.
I don't know why you need a container reference unless it is to get the
bounds of the container to determine where to draw, but if you've set up %
widht/height you'll be given those dimensions in updateDisplayList.
