What makes this particularly scary is that the error message appears once and then any time I try to do anything at all to the container after that it throws the same message over and over. I originally saw this appear in reference to popups on the SystemManager container and created a work-around to pre-instantiate windows and just keep them hidden until needed. It was specifically a problem when I would use the popup manager to display a menu and the selection of a menu option would then display a window. What ended up happening was that the window would be created and popped up at the same time the popup was being removed and it would get its internal indexing off it would seem and never could you do anything to the SystemManager container again. Is there a way to add and remove items safely or is this a known bug and one I just have to live with until Adobe gets around to fixing it?

You say your container is a DisplayObjectContainer. Is it also a
Flex Container such as Canvas or VBox? If so, there is a bug with
using swapChildrenAt() and maybe with swapChildren() as well. Try
using removeChildAt() and addChildAt() instead.
A Flex Container does tricky stuff with child indexes and overrides
child management APIs such as numChildren, addChildAt(),
removeChildAt(), etc., because there are two kinds of children --
content children and non-content children. If you write
HBox
Button/
Button/
/HBox
there are only two content children but, if the HBox has a
background or scrollbars, there can be additional non-children
children.
I think what happened is that the swapChildren() and swapChildrenAt
() methods got added to DisplayObjectContainer in Player 9, and the
Flex framework is not yet supporting them properly in the Container
class.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Training Experiences/Suggestions?
If I can throw my ha'penny in as a longtime macromedia/adobe trainer - (uk based so not in the frame for this!) the courses themselves are good, but if I were you I would go for a higher level of customisation - try and get the trainer to come up with a tailored programme that suits your people. The problem I have found with those courses is that there is so much to pack in that there isn't room to really explore things as fully as one might like . Some of the early stuff (like adding controls etc) is stuff that is pretty intuitive for existing developers and is often best sealt with in granular detail later on when the controls themselves are being used a lot more to load data . Also, there is the Creating visual ah can't recall and don't have details to hand but iss something like creating visual experience' in Flex which is a great little course for learning about really c§ustomisisng the app - developers and designers alike work well together on this and it helps developers understand the structure of components vis a vis skinning etc. good luck !

Once I bring the SWF in, I am creating a MovieClip variable and
assigning to it, the SWFLoader.content. Here is a quick code example:
var platObject:MovieClip = mySWFLoader.content;
So once that assignment is made, you can execute certain built-in
methods available to any Flash Movie - for example:
platObject.play();
platObject.loaderInfo.[etc]
And so on...
That is all well and good - but what about MovieClips that reside
in the
Root Timeline? In this particular SWF File, I have a MovieClip called
platMovieClip - and I am trying to access it's properties and
methods

tried this code:
platObject.platMovieClip._visible = false;
When I try this command, I get an error that says the property
platMovieClip is unknown or something to that effect...
If we can't access the assets that reside in SWF Files, then what
is the
whole point of all this? Or maybe there is something that I am

In fact, how the SWF looks visually, and behaves based on mouse interaction, will all depend on the values brought back from the database. For example, if a Lot has been sold to a customer, I need to change the color of the Lot MovieClip to Red. There are 4 other possible Statuses, that the Lot could have - and each Status is represented by a unique color. After the Plat SWF is brought in, the Flex App will loop through all 140 Lots, and set each corresponding MovieClip color, in addition to any other information I want shown. Luckily, in this particular case, I will have knowledge beforehand based on the database data, as to which Lots will already pre-exist on the SWF. This is where I need to decide, which parts I should code within the Flash 9 SWF, and which parts I should code within Flex. If I had my choice of course, I'd code everything 100% within Flex. Bottom line, I just want to code the bare minimum on the SWF side, so I can programmatically control everything from within Flex. Anyway, moving on, when the mouse hovers over a Lot, I need to have some additional information popup - like a ToolTip. I need the dimensions, total square footage, and the customer information (if the Lot has been sold). In this case, I can just have a custom component popup, and populate it with the corresponding information from my ArrayCollection. I just need to find a way, that when the mouse hovers over a particular Lot on the SWF, to signal Flex which Lot is being hovered over, so I can grab the appropriate data from the ArrayCollection, and fill in all the blanks. So with all that said, is there any other methodology you would use, to accomplish the tasks I mentioned? I suppose I could forego creating 140 variables, and just create a new one on the fly, each time the mouse hovers over a particular lot. Then I can grab the corresponding Child, and temporarily assign it to the Variable - in order to gain access to it's properties and methods.

[flexcoders] Re: Tree queston
Hi All, just looking for help on something with the tree control : its default behaviour is to open a leaf when the user click on the arrow - I want to make it behave in the same way when the user clicks on he actual text (ie the FOLDERopenIcon or the text text to it ... any suggestions ? I imagine its a case of extending teh Tree but just wanted to see if I have missed anything else? Thanks Matt

RE: [flexcoders] Max OS X Flex Builder 2.01 License Issue
Yeah I'm in the same boat ... _ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Gercken Sent: 06 January 2007 15:38 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Max OS X Flex Builder 2.01 License Issue Hi, I down loaded the OS X release of Flex Builder 2 and installed it but it does not like my Windows license. Does anyone know whether there will be some sort of license exchange available? My charting license worked fine though. I bought the Windows version to bridge the gap until the OS X version was available. As soon as the Mac beta was out I switched and have not looked back. Don't tell me that I am going to have to fork out another 500 bucks just to be able to work on my operating system of choice... Regards, -bill
[flexcoders] what to override in dragdrop?
Hi all,
I have an app that returns data from a
Remote Object into a datagrid which then is dragged into a TileList, which
created Tiles which are CustomRenderers all fine so far
The problem is that when the data from
the grid is dropped I want Flex to run off query a web service, return the info
and add that into the data provider for the tile again this works ok
BUT the I get two tiles being created : one with the data that I dragged and
dropped and one with the full dataset that I have brought in (ie the return
from the web service coupled with the data I originally had). I want to get rid
of the first one (the default one which is created on the drag drop event) . I
clearly need to override something I think but I dont really know what,
I thought it would be
override public function set
data(value:Object):void{
//blah
}
But this doesnt seem to work
Any ideas anyone please?
Matt
