[flexcoders] Need help making a Flex chart with an interactive legend
Hello, I currently need help with making a chart in Flex with multiple series and a chart legend which is an interactive legend where upon selecting an item in the legend (which corresponds with a series in the chart) that specific series in the chart will slideDown or Up depending on whether it was just de-selected from the legend or re-selected. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
[flexcoders] Flex Profiler will not connect
Hi all, I'm trying to get the flex profiler to work but I'm having no luck. I've come across a few posts about the profiler but none of them have helped: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/115420/flex-profiler-gives-socket-timeout-error-why-for http://wceii.blogspot.com/2009/12/flex-profiler-socket-timeout-error.html The 1st link mentions updating your etc/hosts file on Windows, which I have done, the 3rd link mentions updating your mm.cfg file which I've also done, neither of these have yielded any results. Currently it just gives me Socket Timeout each and every time. I'm on Windows Vista, using Firefox, using Eclipse with Flex Builder Plug-In, has anyone had any luck using this or does anyone have any suggestions?
[flexcoders] Positioning / Scrolling problem with Flex popup
Hi all,
I'm trying to work out a specific problem I'm having with positioning in Flex
using the PopUpManager. Basically I'm wanting to create a popup which will
scroll with the parent container - this is necessary because the parent
container is large and if the user's browser window isn't large enough (this
will be the case the majority of the time) - they will have to use the
scrollbar of the container to scroll down. The problem is that the popup is
positioned relative to another component, and it needs to stay by that
component. (also sorry if the code below isn't formatted right, but I pasted it
right from Eclipse).
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.core.UITextField;
import mx.containers.TitleWindow;
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
private function clickeroo(event:MouseEvent):void {
var popup:TitleWindow = new TitleWindow();
popup.width = 250;
popup.height = 300;
popup.title = Example;
var tf:UITextField = new UITextField();
tf.wordWrap = true;
tf.width = popup.width - 30;
tf.text = This window stays put and doesn't scroll when the hbox is
scrolled (even with using the hbox as parent in the addPopUp method), I need
the popup to be local to the HBox.;
popup.addChild(tf);
PopUpManager.addPopUp(popup, hbox, false);
}
]]

[flexcoders] Is it possible to change the datatip dot style/position on a chart?
Hi everyone, I have a column chart and I want to reposition and change the style of the datatip dot - the datatip itself I can change by setting the datatip renderer - but what about the positioning of that dot? For an example view the following: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=charts_displayingdata_01.html#332245 - the little dot that comes at the end of the bar in the first chart that is. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me with this! -Steven
[flexcoders] Re: Charting woes, a strange sort

[flexcoders] AdvancedDataGrid column sort arrow
Hi all, I need some help with a problem I'm having: Is there a way that anyone knows of to manually change the sort arrow? It seems that no matter what I do the arrow is always reversed from what the sort order is (if the sort is descending the arrow is ascending). And if there is no direct way, like accessing a property or method, is there any round-about way like dispatching a header release event - albeit I'd need to do this without refreshing the data in the grid though. Any help greatly appreciated.

Re: [SPAM] [flexcoders] Properly display html entities in datagrid
I'm not sure how proper a solution that would be -- there are a lot more html
entities than just those and I don't think writing a replace for each character
makes much sense.
I was initially under the impression that if I used the htmlText property, a
string like something amp; something would auto-magically be converted to
something something. If this isn't the case, is there a property or
component in Flex which I'm overlooking that would automatically take care of
this?
I suppose the main problem is with the text example I presented: This is an
item This is another item In a breadcrumb trail. I suppose using htmlText
would not work because the '' characters would be taken as closing tags? Maybe
I can just write a function to replace '' and ''. (?)
Do you or any others have other suggestions or comments on what a good approach
would be?

So I understand that the data is not html, but just has some html encoded

You can manually convert the data yourself. Regular expressions are
probably a better way to go, but I do not use them enough to be comfortable
with them, and use a function like this:
public static function htmlDecode(s:String):String
{
s=s.split(amp;).join();
s=s.split(quot;).join(\);
s=s.split(apos;).join(');
s=s.split(/lt;).join(/);
s=s.split(lt;).join();
s=s.split(/gt;).join(/);
s=s.split(gt;).join();
return s;
}
The replace() function might be better as well.

Subject: [SPAM] [flexcoders] Properly display html entities in datagrid
Hello everyone,
I've recently come across a problem at work where in much of the data we're
getting is showing up in the data-grid as:
bThe tags showb and the quot; quotes quot; aren't converted!
This is a problem and I'd like to be able to display this correctly:
The tags show and the quotes aren't converted!
We don't necessarily have too much control over the data, so I'm not
entirely sure how/why the items are coming up like this when some items come
up with characters like in them. For instance: This is an item This
is another item In a breadcrumb trail. This shows up correctly. I'm not
sure what exactly should be done. But again since we don't have
control/access to the data, it cannot be changed or substituted or converted
to other formats. I thought of using htmlText but that doesn't work if I
have data like the breadcrumb string above because it interprets the ''
characters as opening tags and doesn't render the entire data:
[Bindable]
private var testString:String = lt;bgt;6lt;bgt; quot;sevenquot;;
mx:Text text={testString} / !-- displays testString unchanged --
mx:Text htmlText={testString} / !-- displays: b6/b --
Any suggestions would definitely be appreciated, I'm sure I'm probably not
the only person that's come across this :( But basically we just need all
characters like: lt; to be converted to '' and amp; to be '' meanwhile
data that was encoded properly, data that has '' and '' showing up
correctly should be left the same.
Thanks in advance for any help :)
