[flexcoders] Destroying/Re-creating Objects

2006-01-17 Thread Rob Dickey
Sanity Check needed :)

I have a scenario where I need to destroy and recreate all child objects of
a view stack.

I'm first using the viewStack.destroyAllChildren() (or
viewStack.destroyChildAt(index)) which destroy the child objects as
expected, but when I attempt to re-create using the viewStack.createChild()
I run into some unexpected results.  It appears from debugging, etc. that
the new child objects appear ok structurally but the layout and some of the
initialization has not been completed. The creation policy of the view stack
and child objects are not explicitly stated so the default is being used. 

So am I doing this correctly? Is there another / better way to
destroy/recreate child objects dynamically?

Thanks for any info.

Regards,
Rob

RE: [flexcoders] Destroying/Re-creating Objects

2006-01-17 Thread Rob Dickey
I believe that is the issue...after sending the email I realized that I am
not waiting for the creationComplete event to be dispatched on each child
before attempting to use the child. 

Thanks for the response.

The layout and some of the initialization has not been completed

Completed by when? The LayoutManager runs asynchronously. When
createChild() returns, the new child won't exist, but its
commitProperties(), measure(), and updateDisplayList() methods won't
have been called yet. By the time the new child dispatches its
creationComplete event, they should all have been called.

Other than this timing issue, how is createChild() failing?

Hi Tracy, JesterXL,



Thanks for both replies and suggestions. Both
worked great, although I think Ill stick to the last suggestion (editField)
as 

It would take more comments then code to
explain why I am reassigning the data provider to the grid that its
already assigned to J

This form of update:
dataGrid.dataProvider[i].cbSelect = newState
does not cause the dataProvider to emit the
modelChanged event to update
the control.

Instead, use the dataProvider API, like
editItemAt().

Or, probably better in your case, when you are
done updating the
dataProvider, re-assign it to the control:
Datagrid.DataProvider = DataGrid.dataProvider;

This should cause the proper events to fire and
update the screen.

Hi,

I'm trying to do a simple loop through a datagrid
to set a column 
that's using the CheckCellRenderer to be checked
or unchecked but 
the following code does not work, well sort
of. What happens is 
that if I mouseover each row, viola,
the checks in the checkbox 
appear or disappear depending on my choice to
select all or not. 
Here is the function I call to set the checkboxes
in the grid:

private function selectAll(newState:Boolean):Void
{
for( var i in dataGrid.dataProvider )
dataGrid.dataProvider[i].cbSelect = newState;
}

The datagrid column is defined as:
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=
width=40 columnName=cbSelect 
cellRenderer=CheckCellRenderer
resizable=true /

The dataprovider for the grid is an RO...

TIA for any info.

RE: [flexcoders] AJAX vs Flex whitepaper?? anyone??

2005-10-26 Thread Rob Dickey
Just curious if you have taken a look at http://www.osflash.org ?

Don't know about whitepapers, abstracts, but it’s a great source for ECMA
related items including javascript, actionscript, etc., and perhaps there
are links from there to something that would suit your needs...

HTH

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for a business and technical level whitepaper that
develops on the differences and similarities between flex and AJAX. It
is for a customer that is evaluating both techs for a series of
applications.

I'm not asking wether this is a good or bad comparison to make, but it
is a fact that they ARE doing this comparison. so I have to go along
with it. and hopefully win!

I would go on and do a live presentation as I usually do, but I'm in
sanfrancisco and my clients are back in south america.

Thanks,
Aldo

[flexcoders] Anyone seen this...Bueller???

2005-05-12 Thread Rob Dickey
Ok, so I'm happily (well, most of the time) coding away in Flex Builder.I am
using Tomcat as my testing server, which has been working great for months.I
have a non-trial license for both Flex and FlexBuilder.and much to my dismay
I get the following message when testing my app within FlexBuilder.

This error comes up during the initialization phase of the app in 8pt red
font.and I'm done.

This standalone application was created with the Developer edition of
Macromedia Flex and has expired. Contact the author of this application for
a new copy.

Well, at this point I'm asking myself, self, where can I get another copy
of the application that you building???

Sorry for the weak attempt at some humor, but its been a long night with
deadlines approaching too soon.

TIA for any info.

Rob
