Try defining the component in-line instead. You also don't want to use
the ToolTip component because you still need to display the header
text. Instead, just use a Label component and set the toolTip string
for the label like so...
mx:DataGridColumn
width=26
textAlign=center
editable=false
:
you may also need datatipField or dataTipFunction. I think there was a
bug with dataTipField in 2.x that is fixed in 3.0

Also,
Look into using localToGlobal() on an object to translate coordinates
relative to a Display Object to coordinates relative to 0,0 in the
browser window.
Example:
var point:Point = new Point();
point.y += 25; // move my pop-up down 25 pixels
point = myButton.localToGlobal(point);
//
I'm surprised that Flex doesn't have this built-in, or at least I
can't figure it out. If I mouse over a cell with data that extends
beyond the allocated space for that cell, how can I have a tooltip
popup with the full string of data?
I have tried using showDataTips but it just displays the
Lets say I receive data from a WebService as XML and I stick it in a
DataGrid. How can I cast that information from its XML form to a
Cairngorm ValueObject.
It would be nice to be able to call MyVObj:VObj = VObj(myXMLData)
assuming that myXMLData contains the same fields as VO.
Obviously I can
I know you can do this with Flex Builder but I was curious if there
was a quick way to do it with just the Flex SDK.

I found a work-around. I have to define my module using mxml instead
of straight ActionScript. For some reason it wasn't loading the halo
skin classes into the module and since they weren't available in the
main app either it would crash when it tried to get the class name
from the default css
Right now I am trying to layout a project that uses Cairngorm and
multiple swf modules. I am currently using one project in Flex
Builder but I am wondering if I should break each module out into its
own project. Has anyone done this? If so, how did you accomplish it?
Did you just share your
Thanks Tony for the detailed explanation.
I have spent the afternoon experimenting with modules in Flex Builder
and it looks like separate projects is the way to go. At first I was
thinking I could get by with a single project for development and then
make sure the nightly Ant script used
I'd do some research to see what most .NET people are doing for
authentication and WebServices.
That's what I'm trying to do now :)
It looks like most are using SOAP headers instead of Basic
Authentication. I started a thread with our back-end group in charge
of all the .NET stuff. We do
I think your layout for Flex would be similar to coding in any other
language. Everyone has their own style and it is best to separate
things by function and use.
If you are starting a very large project you may also want to look
into using the Cairngorm MVCS framework. This will help you
So no one has run into this problem? Is anyone even using Ant to
automate their build? If not, what do you use?

I am trying to put some components in a module and one of them which
uses an HSlider is causing a crash. The module loads fine but when I
try to add the component with addChild it crashes with:
TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.
Here is the main application:
I've got two questions about using Ant to generate the html for our

I need to connect to a .NET WebService over SSL which uses Basic
Authentication. I have tried the setCredentials function but it
doesn't work.
Are there plans to support this feature? Is there a work-around? I
would prefer to get the credentials from the user through a login view
in Flex and
Will the method of using SOAP headers still allow for basic session
management by the .NET WebService?
The server-side guys are really pushing the use of Basic
Authentication but it sounds like this approach will mean coding
specific authentication functions within the WebService, correct?
