I'd have an easier time answering the questions as you go 'down'
the 
list.

I'd have problems explaining the first one in great detail
without 
references in front of me (even though I deal with that stuff
every 
day). :-) I think it's a great question, though.

  I regularly conduct interviews for flex developers
   My regular questions are to explain the component
lifecycle.
   I ask how invalidate / commitProperties work specifically
   I ask a lot of questions about dataServices
   I ask a general understanding of MVC
   I ask what frameworks they're familiar with

[flexcoders] New technique to Export to Excel, feasible?

2008-01-30 Thread Ramanujam, Pratap
Hi Flex Coders,

If I have to copy the contents of a datagrid to an excel sheet,
one way I am aware is 
copying the contents of the datagrid to the Clipboard and open
an excel sheet 
and paste the contents. However I was wondering of another
technique where
   
  I have a button called Export to Excel, which will copy all
the contents 
  of the data grid and pass them as parameters to a WebService
then the webservice 
  can invoke an Excel sheet and paste the contents from
clipboard

  Is this possible to accomplish? If yes, kindly share some gyan
or a Blog where 
  this is explained.

  Thanx in advance.

Pratap

What I do for Excel export is all handled on the server side. In
my
case I am using php for the backend, so I use a library call
PHPExcel to
build the spreadsheet and then I either attach it to an email,
or pass
it back to the browser. There are good libraries available for
most
backend languages (I have used Java, Python and .Net versions),
so that
puts you back in the religious wars...

I have also done the formatting in the Flex App and passed the
complete
text of an Excel 2003 file to the app server to have it turned
around
and sent back in a new window. That is the same basic idea as
putting
it in to the clipboard, but a bit more transparent to the user.
In any
case, I prefer formatting the data on the app server, not the
client for
excel and I get the added benefit of being able to send reports
by email
as excel attachments.

If anyone wants the code, I'd be happy to give it away...

Thanks,
Ben

I'm not sure whether this is a bug or not but
truncateToFit doesn't
seems to work for me.

I have a text that has has a certain width and height so
that it can
show two lines. When I set truncateToFit to true and
assign a text
that is longer than to lines I would expect it is
truncated at the end
of the second line. 

mx:Text truncateToFit=true x=400 y=400
width=140 height=30
text=This is the first Line. This is the second Line
that should be

So what I would expect to see is something like this:

This is the first Line. 
This is the second L... 

But I get the following two lines (that scroll if I go
on the text):

This is the first Line. 
This is the second Line

So, any suggestions? Thanks.

[flexcoders] Display Text in Bold

2007-10-17 Thread Ramanujam, Pratap

 Hi Guys,
 
   I have a problem dunnow why it isn't working.
   Appreciate any inputs on this.
   
   I have a pie chart component and I need to display the String
 Value beside the Pie chart in Bold.
   The String contains an attribute result which has to be
 displayed in Bold and the text following 
   it in normal font. So typically a style sheet would not work
 here (As it'll apply style to whole String).
 
   So here's the Function : 
   
   private function displayLabel(data:Object, field:String,
 index:String, percentValue:String):String {
var temp1:String =  data.result + % + \n + data.tip;
 return temp1;
 
   So here I need to display data.result in BOLD, rest in normal
 font. 
   
   So this is change I did for the function
 
   private function displayLabel(data:Object, field:String,
 index:String, percentValue:String):String {
 var temp1:String =  b+data.result+/b+ % + \n +
 data.tip;
 return temp1;
  

   With HTML text to return data.result as HTML so
 bdata.result/b takes effect
   
   mx:Text
   mx:htmlText
   {displayLabel(data.result, '%' , '\n' ,
 'data.tip')}
   /mx:htmlText

   But the output displays b/b as a part of label beside pie
 chart ,Eg: b20%/b
   
   So can anybody please point where I'm goin wrong.
