Re: [flexcoders] Design Pattern/Best Practices for generic record 'list' and 'detail' view Component

with a custom event type. Now dispatch that event type when the length of dataProvider changes. Obviously, your getter method for currentView has to contain the logic you described for deciding which view to use. Is that what you were looking for? Cheers, Lach On 06/12/2006, at 5:27 AM, Steve

[flexcoders] Base Classes, Bindable, and dispatchEvent

Hi All, I have a base class I use for models (ModelBase, original eh?) that contains a 'set' function. set(source:Model) - it simply copies fields from the source model to 'this'. Works great, except I'm not sure how to let everyone know the model changed. The base class currently uses

Re: [flexcoders] Date Fields and Data Binding.

Just a guess here - I just use vanilla Flex Sounds like the field is not being assigned. Since the field starts out as blank in your model, and your selecting another model with a blank field - perhaps Flex is 'short-circuiting' the assignment. I've noticed that for an assignment like foo =

[flexcoders] Design Pattern/Best Practices for generic record 'list' and 'detail' view Component

Hi All, I'm trying to create a component to use as an example or 'template' of how to achieve a record list and detail view in flex. I'm starting with a simple 'contact' record (model) that has name, address, phone, email, etc. The list of records is held in _dataProvider, and the specific

[flexcoders] Feature request? Ability to apply multiple states or views at once..

Hi All, I've been working on some basic CRUD screens, where it would be really useful to be able to apply either multiple states or multiple views at once (I think states would be better...) for instance, I have a 'show' state that goes thru and makes all my text entry fields non-editable.

Re: [flexcoders] Feature request? Ability to apply multiple states or views at once..

Hi Dustin, It's 'based on' that actually 'teased' me with this... As you start having more 'optional' things in the component ('noNotes','noSaveButton',etc), you end up with a 'states explosion'... 'based on' gets about half-way there, so I figured it could be enhanced to handle the rest? I
