[flexcoders] HTML and Flex

2009-01-16 Thread bffoley
I have a client who I am making a full-page Flex application for.  We
originally had the application embeded in the HTML page, but because
of Flex's Browser and VBox scrollbars scrolling together bug, I had
to made the application show the full page, including the other
content in the page which I had to recreate in MXML.  

The issue here is the client uses TinyMCE in some homemade CMS to make
updates to the rest of the content on the page, and he doesn't want to
give this up.  I haven't been able to find a solution that lets us
import the HTML he creates in TinyMCE into the Flex app.  I've seen a
few iframe options that wont work because of the scrollbars (the
iframe stays in the same spot, no matter where you scroll up and down
on the page), and some other option I found that converts HTML to a
Flash-friendly format doesnt support tables (only DIV tags), which
TinyMCE relies on heavily.

What are my options here?  Is there some sort of solution I can do
here that would allow a person who's not technical but likes WYSIWYG
editors to get new content into a Flex app?



[flexcoders] Browser and embeded Flex scrolling together

2009-01-12 Thread bffoley
Currently I'm working on a Flex app for a client that has a VBox with
a vertical scrollbar on it.  Inside of the VBox is a long list of
custom components (based on HBox) that can be viewed by scrolling up
and down on the scrollbar.  The issue is this application is embeded
within a HTML page that has a lot of content below the application,
therefore when the user scrolls the mousewheel on my VBox, it scrolls
the main page as well.  I've noticed that most components do this as
well, with the exception being TextArea.  I've dug around the livedocs
and some forums in hope of finding a solution to make this work, but
 so far nothing.  I was wondering if perhaps anyone has come
across this issue and know a solution or a workaround, or have
suggestions on how I could better accomplish what I need to do here?
