I cannot get this to work.
I've tried:
my_datagrid.labelFunction = Delegate.create(this,
onMyLabelFunction);
my_datagrid.labelFunction = onMyLabelFunction;
As well as through the attribute in the datagrid
tag:
mx:DataGrid
labelFunction=onMyLabelFunction
I can trace out that it's actually setting the
value to a valid function
through the debugger and me tracing out the values
to a TextArea, but that
same debugging session shows the actual function
itself never getting run.
I've tried setting the dataProviders right after,
1 frame after, and even 2
frames after via multiple doLaters.
I've tried setting the ViewStack hosting this
component to to auto
creationLayout instead of all, and used
childrenCreated to defer the actual
setup.
Nothing works.

RE: [flexcoders] Creation/Destroy Queries...
Sounds like a memory leak to me. Hopefully the next version of the player will do a better job at it. Some of my users love their app so much, they dont even close the browser, and after some days, the app/browser will become unresponsive.

My understanding of the Player's garbage collector/memory management is by no means perfect (or even maybe accurate). I believe the deal is: - it does a real cleanup every minute or so - memory is allocated and used in chunks, but is cleaned up in pieces - the allocator is not super-smart, it does not re-organize memory within individual chunks, so you can get fragmented and continue to grow if the spaces in the chunks are not big enough for what needs to be allocated - at some point the player may have a big enough chunk free that it can give it back to the OS; but windows will not take it back (i may be wrong here, the player may never offer it back). therefore player memory will always go up, it rarely goes back down. however if you do your own de-allocation the player should arrive at a steady state, it just is possible it will end up looking like a big number in the task manager.

Then inside the presenterClass it will know whats inside itself and add various behaviours and follow a uniform approach to how it presents stuff on screen. Now, when a button is fired an event handler request is initiated, resulting in an action. In this case, mail.loadFolder does like outlook where if you clicked on a folder it would show all mail relating to that folder and what not. Now inside the base foundation I have sectors layed out and declared via presenter, as my presenter maps to each of these sectors it records whether or not these are viewstacks or not, if not it will destroy/create a view-pod in that sector - if its a viewStack it will check to make sure that child exists, if not instantiate that view-pod or simply switch to it... Now lots more can go on here but the point is this, i'm going to be doing a lot of runtime create/destroy concepts and its very important that i'm allowed to do so without memory considerations - plus any performance gains i can conjure up in terms of asset re-use is even better. At the same time as view-pods being destroyed/created i can ontop of that kill an entire screen and move onto another screen... Hopefully that paints a picture on what my intent is, and does anyone here see any negative performance side-effects from this approach?

RE: [flexcoders] Large Flex app architecture
We also have a quite large internal application (Campaign Management) and were using a very similar approach with an event driven Form factory and a main ViewStack. 90% of the code is based on custom views. We started with the Cairgorm framework, but we have to add some additional artifacts and extend their model to allow things like multiple commands listening to single events (believe me, we need this), generic data services and generic commands to handle multiple similar views. Our factory has also the job of destroying views (and related models, command instances and helpers). Weve been very careful trying to destroy every piece of non use memory to avoid issues, however, after some days of use (if the user doesnt reload the app) the application will stop responding and well have to kill the browser. That makes me think that there could be some issues with player garbage collection. From: Scott Barnes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 7:02 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Large Flex app architecture I too am in the same boat and have thought / researched on this very subject. I'm attacking my FLEX archiecture much in the same way i would with a traditional web paged system. I've looked at Screen by Screen approach where typically you active a screen for a task. Example: TravelAuthorization Request Form (Wizard Format) = Screen1 TravelAUthorization Admin Form = Screen 2 TravelAuthorization Summary / Report = Screen 3 etc.. Now each of these screens have their own sub-screen lifecycle (ie much like the FlexStore where checkout form replaces product pod and so on). Anything that significantly breaks away from a parent Screen becomes a screen onto itself. Once I formulated a pattern for this and broke my approach into screen by screen, I am then going to use a destroy / create approach. I'm hoping that my theory holds that Flash Garbage collection will free up memory every time i destroy a screen, but this is a Intranet Application so bandwidth isn't my top priority here (while i should be mindful of it) - so I plan to use Run Time Shared Libraries but will quite happilly kill an asset and move it to a download every bite situation if need be. I will use view stacks up until a point, and then i'll have my own quasi view stack manager to attack the same problem. Again, I am not finding much information on how FLEX Garbage collection works and what key tricks i need to make sure are in place, so the above may not hold water and won't know until I have it fully tested and working but surely a destroy/create approach should work and if it doesn't by god MM you better make it happen soon or i'll...i'lll bah..i got nothing. hehe. I posted on my blog on how I am attacking this screen by screen approach, via this: http://www.mossyblog.com/archives/434.cfm Its a framework I am working on and its ripped off a few concepts from Mach-II and Apache Cocoon.

I have a formit contains text fields, drop down lists, and radio buttons. Its a basic user information formfirst name, last name, address 1, address 2, etc. I also have 3 fields: phone, fax, and mobile, but I only have the phone field as being required (visually, anyways, utilizing the required attribute set to true of the mx:FormItem component, but set to false for fax and mobile). I also have phone, fax and mobile being monitored by the mx:PhoneNumberValidator components. But the problem is the form wont submit if the user hasnt entered a fax or mobile, even though theyre not required but because I have validators on them. Is there any way to ONLY validate them if the user has entered a value in their fields and not enforce them as being required even though I dont have them flagged as being required? Also, how do I validate whether a userhas selected an option from a drop-down or a radio button group? I am successfully setting their values to the data model I have set up but do I use a StringValidator on those values to ensure something has been checked or is there a better way to do that? I looked at the examples in Stephen and Alistairs book but some things arent valid in Flex 1.5 anymore and other things just confuse the heck out of me or dont apply to the type of form Im trying to build and validate.

Dynamically selecting a Tree node
JoseI posted a similar questiona
few weeks back and got a response I was able to work withthe only
drawback to the solution is it expands the entire tree up to the node you want
selected is foundbut its a drawback Im willing to live
with because it does what youre askingIm using this code
in conjunction with a custom HistoryManager method so if a user selects a node
on the tree and then selects a second nodwe and then hits the browsers
back button, I want to go back to the last node they selected in the tree and
the following seems to do the trick when put in a function and your action,
whatever it may be that wants to dynamically select an item in the tree, calls
this function:
function
selectNode(value:String) {
var i:Number=0;
var node = yourTree.getTreeNodeAt(i);
while (node != undefined) {
if (node.getProperty(id) == value) {
yourTree.selectedNode = node;
break;
} else if (yourTree.getIsBranch(node)
!yourTree.getIsOpen(node)){
yourTree.setIsOpen(node, true);
}
i++;
node = yourTree.getNodeDisplayedAt(i);
}
}
The code traverses a tree and comparesthe
node on the trees attribute of id to the one Im passing to the
function, which was the last id the user had selectedif it matches it
sets that node in the tree to the selected node and then stops the tree
traversalif it doesnt match it checks to see if the node is a
branch and if it is, expands the tree and then continues traversal.
Its my understanding you cant really traverse nodes of the tree
in this fashion if the tree isnt expanded because indexes change, length
of the tree changes, etc, which effect the traversal and access to
nodesso this was the only fix I found, thanks to the programmers on the
list, that was able to traverse the entire tree looking for the one elementI
wanted to select in the tree.
