[flexcoders] ComboBox : HBox as ItemRenderer - textRollOverColor problem
So I have an itemRenderer which simply displays text and an
image...something like:
mx:HBox
mx:Image /
mx:Label text={data.anme} /
/mx:HBox
My ComboBox is configured in MXML such as:
mx:ComboBox id=foo itemRenderer=MyComboRenderer /
My CSS has:
ComboBox {
textRollOverColor=0xFF;
}
So what I want is for the items in my ComboBox (foo) to have red
text on the Label when the item is rolled over...but this isn't
happening. How can I get this to work? I should mention I prefer to
keep the style stuff out of the code and in a CSS file.
[flexcoders] Re: ComboBox : HBox as ItemRenderer - textRollOverColor problem
So my fix is this:
MyComboRenderer
mx:HBox rollOver=onRollOver(); rollOut=onRollOut();
mx:Script
...
private function onRollOver():void {
lblGroup.setStyle(color, getStyle(textRollOverColor));
}
private function onRollOut():void {
lblGroup.setStyle(color, getStyle(color));
}
...
/mx:Script
/mx:HBox
You'll notice I just listen for the rollOver/rollOut events and handle
it there. It uses the textRollOverColor style that is set on the
ComboBox :)

[flexcoders] Diagramming Components
Anyone know of any good diagramming/network-type graphing components? Basically, I am looking for something that allows me to define nodes (shapes, icons, etc) that can be dragged/dropped from a pallet onto a canvas (not meaningFlex Canvas component). Those nodes can be moved around and connected, etc. I have seen one from KapIT called Diagrammer, which is one possibility. I have also seen yFiles (www.yworks.com), which is a fairly pricey pay-component. Preferably the component would be free and open-source but not required. Any other ideas or thoughts?? I have seen this functionality in demos/examples online, but I'm wondering if each shop is rolling their own.
[flexcoders] Programmatically Determine if FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE has been dispatched
I need to programmatically determine if a component has dispatched
FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE so that I know it has finished being
created as well as all of it's children.
I don't see a creationCompleted property, is there some other way to
tell? I know I can listen for the event I am wondering if there is
some other way to tell that it had already happened. So I can have
logic similar:
if ( comp.creationCompleted )
{
// do stuff to a child
comp.fooView.fooButton.addEventListener(...);
}
else
{
comp.addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, handleCreation);
}
[flexcoders] Re: Programmatically Determine if FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE has been dispatche
So, say I missed the creation_complete eventor I can't listen for it.
there is no programmatic way to ask a component if it is complete
right? I know UIComponent ( or something like that ) has the
initialized property.

[flexcoders] Re: LiveCycleDS - Problem Accessing RemoteObject over Secure AMF
I do have an SSL cert installed. So apparently I guess LCDS 2.6 is a bit different than LCDS 2.5. I was able to use FireBug and see that when I tried to browse to my app I was getting 404's because it couldn't find FlexSwfServlet which was defined in my web.xml (based on LCDS 2.5): servlet servlet-nameFlexSwfServlet/servlet-name display-nameSWF Retriever/display-name servlet-classflex.bootstrap.BootstrapServlet/servlet- class init-param param-nameservlet.class/param-name param-valueflex.webtier.server.j2ee.SwfServlet/param- value /init-param !-- SwfServlet must be initialized after MxmlServlet -- load-on-startup2/load-on-startup /servlet Looking at the latest lcds.war in LCDS 2.6 the web.xml only has the MessageBrokerServlet defined, nothing else: servlet servlet-nameMessageBrokerServlet/servlet-name display-nameMessageBrokerServlet/display-name servlet-classflex.messaging.MessageBrokerServlet/servlet- class init-param param-nameservices.configuration.file/param-name param-value/WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml/param- value /init-param init-param param-nameflex.write.path/param-name param-value/WEB-INF/flex/param-value /init-param load-on-startup1/load-on-startup /servlet Anyone know if there is information on why 2.6 doesn't explicitly define the other servlets? I know in LCDS 2.5 there was a JAR in the lcds.war/WEB-INF/lib named flex-bootstrap which is no longer in the lcds.war in LCDS 2.6.
[flexcoders] ANSWER - Re: LiveCycleDS - Problem Accessing RemoteObject over Secure AMF
So I guess LCDS 2.6 did change some things, such as not having the flex-bootstrap JAR (not sure if this code moved somewhere else or not). But basically I updated my web.xml so all of the LCDS 2.5 stuff (as mentioned in the earlier post) is gone and I only have the servlet mapping and definition for MessageBrokerServlet and now all is well.

[flexcoders] Change LegendItem fill Color
I am trying to allow the user to select the color of the LegendItem. However, when I try and set the LegendItem fill style it doesn't change in the UI. I event tried: legendItem.setStyle(fill, new SolidColor(0xFF00FF)); legendItem.invalidateDisplayList(); ...but it has no effect. I can call: legendItem.setStyle(color, new SolidColor(0xFF00FF)); and the text associated with the LegendItem changes, but I can't seem to change the fill color during runtime. Any ideas or suggestions?
[flexcoders] Re: Change LegendItem fill Color
Currently the only work around I have is to remove the LegendItem's from
the Legend and add new ones, such as:
var item:LegendItem = null;
var newItem:LegendItem = null;
for (var i:int = chartLegend.numChildren -1; i = 0;
i--)
{
item = chartLegend.getChildAt(i) as LegendItem;
if ( item == null )
{
continue;
}
newItem = new LegendItem();
newItem.label = item.label;
newItem.setStyle(fill, fillFunction(
chartSeries.items[i], i ));
chartLegend.removeChildAt( i );
chartLegend.addChildAt( newItem, i );
}
Maybe this is a bug, since it appears that the LegendItem fill
property doesn't update in the UI.

[flexcoders] Flex Books - Detailed/Nitty-Gritty
I'm looking for one or more books to really dive into Flex (and perhaps AS3). I know the basics and have been using it for a while, but I really want to get into the advanced topics and the details for some serious Flex development. Most of the books I've seen all seem to have the some Table of Contents covering very basic stuff. Is there anything out there that covers all the details (you know sometimes when you read a blog, or watch a videocast you find out about a little nugget of information you had never heard of)? Thanks!
[flexcoders] Re: Flex Books - Detailed/Nitty-Gritty
Thanks (i think) for the feedback. I realize Flex is more than RAD tool, in fact I have hardly used the GUI builder. My background was Java/Swing - python - C# - Flex, based on the projects I was working on. Anyways, I guess coming from Swing there are books (such as Filthy Rich Clients, one author Chet Haase works for Adobe now) which cover lots of neat tricks, details, expert type info. That's what I was sort of wondering about. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Samuel Colak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This strikes me a bit odd - what do people think Flex is ? It is simply a tool for AS3 development - or do people think this is a RAD tool like VB where everything is just point and click with no code ? Craig - unfortunately the actual best book is the Adobe online tutorials and API reference - its not terribly difficult to pick up once you have an understanding or background in C# or Java. If you are new to the development scene, then obviously flex will be rather more daunting - but it is worthwhile.

[flexcoders] AdvancedDataGrid - help displaying custom data objects
I have two classes (shown below) and I think the AdvancedDataGrid can
display it properly. Basically there can be EmployeeGroups inside of
EmployeeGroups..nested as much as you want. Each group also contains
Employees. I'd like to display these columns:Name (of group/employee) |
Dept (of employee) any help to get started would be great. [Bindable]
public class Employee { public var name:String; public var
dept:String; public function Employee(name:String, dept:String):void {
this.name = name; this.dept = dept; } } [Bindable] public class
EmployeeGroup { public var name:String;public var
parent:EmployeeGroup; public var employees:ArrayCollection; public var
groups:ArrayCollection;public function EmployeeGroup(name:String,
parent:EmployeeGroup=null) { this.name = name; this.parent = parent;
employees = new ArrayCollection(); groups = new ArrayCollection(); }
} Here is some sample data: var group1:EmployeeGroup = new
EmployeeGroup(Group 1); var group11:EmployeeGroup = new
EmployeeGroup(Group 1.1); var group2:EmployeeGroup = new
EmployeeGroup(Group 2);var emp1:Employee = new Employee(Bob, IT
Developer); var emp2:Employee = new Employee(Bill, IT Developer);
var emp3:Employee = new Employee(Jim, IT Admin); var emp4:Employee
= new Employee(Todd, IT Admin); var emp5:Employee = new
Employee(Bryan, Sales); var emp6:Employee = new Employee(James,
Sales); group1.employees.addItem(emp1);
group1.employees.addItem(emp2);group11.employees.addItem(emp3);
group11.employees.addItem(emp4);group2.employees.addItem(emp5);
group2.employees.addItem(emp6);// configure subgroups
group1.groups.addItem(group11); group11.parent = group1;groups =
new ArrayCollection(); groups.addItem(group1); groups.addItem(group2);
The output in the tree would look something like:
Name | Department
Group 1
Bob |IT Developer
Bill |IT Developer
Group 1.1 |
Jim|IT Admin
Todd |IT Admin
Group 2
Bryan | Sales
James | Sales
I've tried doing this so far to setup the AdvancedDataGrid:
groupColl = new GroupingCollection();groupColl.source = groups;var
gfield:GroupingField = new GroupingField(name);var grouping:Grouping =
new Grouping();grouping.fields = [gfield];groupColl.grouping =
grouping;groupColl.refresh();adg.dataProvider = groupColl;This just
gives me:
Name | Dept
Group 1
Group 1
Group 2
Group 2
Any help would be super!
[flexcoders] Re: AdvancedDataGrid - help displaying custom data objects
so to get things to show up as I wanted I had to add a children
property to my EmployeeGroup (didn't see that anywhere in the
documentation, but I noticed the Adobe examples have children
properties).
So I added this in the EmployeeGroup:
pre
public function get children():ArrayCollection {
var kids:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
for (var i:int=0; i groups.length; i++) {
kids.addItem(groups[i]);
}
for (var i:int=0; i employees.length; i++) {
kids.addItem(employees[i]);
}
return kids;
}
/pre
Obviously it can be more efficient, but it works..which is the start!
[flexcoders] View State Help
I am trying to use States in my Flex 3 application. The application is run outside of the browser. The one thing I am hoping to improve upon is manual labor of removing and adding components when the states change. So for example if I have a login panel. Once the user logs in i want to go to a new view with some other components. Right now in my mx:State I have defined: mx:RemoveChild .../ mx:RemoveChild ../ mx:AddChild ... mx:DataGrid... /mx:DataGrid /mx:AddChild anyways...is there a better or nicer way of handling such things? I'm just curious because it seems like a bunch of work referencing these components all over the place. Just curious on how it might be done better. Thanks in advance.
