[flexcoders] Question/Problems extending RichTextEditor, Learning
Hello all,
I want to extend the RichTextEitor and I have a problem(s) with doing so. So I
wrote A action script class trying to extend the Rich Text Editor. I wanted to
just add a text box to the toolbar but am getting errors, here is my code:
ackage com.DaNaTiRTE

import mx.controls.RichTextEditor;
import mx.controls.TextInput;
public class DRTE extends RichTextEditor
{
public function DRTE()
{
//TODO: implement function
super();
}
private var _width:int;
private var _height:int;
public function SetItems():void
{
var t:TextInput = new TextInput();
t.width = 40;
this.toolbar.addChild(t);
}
}
}
I wanted to do somthing like this when I call the code
var a:DRTE = new DRTE();
a.SetItems();
addChild(a);
When I do the (a.SetItems) I get an error Error #1009: Cannot access a
property or method of a null object reference..
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong, and if so what I need to be doing
correctly? I want to not just build this code but understand how to extend
components.

[flexcoders] Best Java addon for Flex
Hello all, I have been coding with Flex for a few years using PHP as my back end. I am looking to learn Java, and I have a few questions. I understand the Java language from all the other programming languages that I know. If I want to interface Flex with Java, should I lean Spring or what? I am asking the group, what/how do you use Java with Flex? Thank you, Tim Gallagher
[flexcoders] Question about MouseOver and getting the UIComponent ClassName
Hello all, I am having a problem. I am using drag and drop and want to add an
event listener on objects that a mouse is over. So I have this panel and then
I add a label and maybe a button to the panel. I then attach to the panel,
label and button an event listener mouse over to get the class name to what the
mouse is hovering over.
If I then hover over the label, I get the class name Label then Panel, here
is my simple test code:
mx:Script
![CDATA[
public function INIT():void
{
}
public function EVC(e:Event):void
{
trace(e.currentTarget.className);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Panel x=58 y=108 width=417 height=355
mouseOver=EVC(event)
mx:Button label=Button mouseOver=EVC(event)/
mx:Label text=Label mouseOver=EVC(event)/
mx:TextInput mouseOver=EVC(event)/
/mx:Panel
So when I hover anything that is contained within the panel I get that objects
class name and the panels class name. How can I just get the class name of
what I am hovering over? If I hover the panel and only the panel (lets say in
the title bar) then I want to return className = Panel but if I hover anything
else I want that class name.
Can this be done?
Thanks for the help,

1. if (dragEvent.currentTarget is Panel)
2. currentTarget is generically typed as Object, which doesn't have an
addChild() method. But if you have already checked that the dropTarget is a
Panel, it's safe to do a cast:
Panel(dragEvent.currentTarget).addChild(...);

Thanks for the response, I have a question about arraycollection and

var obj:Object = new Object();
obj.first = 'lisa';

then create a tree:

I only see the first 2 names, Matt and Tom. How do I have the new

the labelField. So this is what I did:

Here is my MXML code:

[flexcoders] Datagrid Goofy Problem cannot select rows
Hello all,
I am creating a message board forum and I am using the datagrid to show message
topics. I add a new topic, via flex text input box, it gets sent to a PHP
Weborb back end and the datagrid will then be updated. So lets say I do not
have any topics, I will add the first one, I can then take my mouse and select
that row. When my mouse hovers over the item, the row is highlighted (this is
done by default, a feature of the datagrid). If I create another topic, I am
unable to highlight any other row except for the latest one that was updated.
I am not sure what to look for here. Here is my mxml datagrid :
mx:DataGrid x=0 y=0 width=100% height=100% id=dataGridReadTopics
dataProvider={this._acTopic} click={this.dataGridReadTopicsClicked(event);}
mx:columns

[flexcoders] mysqli, Weborb, and getting username and password from include or method
Hello all, I have started using stored procedures for my MySql queries
so to call the stored procedures I use mysqli. The problem is that I
have a class and one of my public methods calls private methods to do
the work. Here is what I mean.
Class Tree{
var $mysqli;
var $finalArry;
var $collectArry;
var $dUName;
var $dPWord;
var $dHost;
var $dDB;
public function Tree()
{
$this-finalArry = array();
$this-collectArry = array();
}
public function MasterCall(SB $obj)
{
switch($obj-call){
case BuildTreeStructure:
$called = $this-BuildTreeStructure($obj);
break;
case AddNewNode:
$called = $this-AddNewNode($obj);
break;
}
return $called;
}
private function AddNewNode($obj)
{
/* Calling the SQL stored procedure AddNodeSP
*/
$mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', '', 'MeDatabase');
if (mysqli_connect_errno( )) {
printf(Connect failed: %s\n, mysqli_connect_error(
));
exit ( );
} else {
// printf(Connect succeeded\n);
}
$sql = CALL
AddNodeSP('$obj-parentCBSid','$obj-rootCBSid','$obj-newNode');
$mysqli-query($sql);
if ($mysqli-errno) {
die(Execution failed: .$mysqli-errno.: .$mysqli-error);
}
$getTree = $this-BuildTreeStructure($obj);
return $getTree;
}
}
Class SB {
var $parentCBSid;
var $rootCBSid;
var $newNode;
var $call;
var $user;
var $pass;
var $host;
var $db;
}
so in my AddNewNode method I have a mysqli connection :
$mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', '', 'MeDatabase');
I dont want to have to add this line everytime I do this because if I
have to change my password. SO I created a password file and did an
include:
In the AddNewNode method I do this
require_once('PasswordFile.php');
$mysqli = new mysqli('localhost',$user,$pass,$db);
When I run this script from a webpage (remember I am using this as a
service from Webord) It works fine. When I run my flex app, I get an
error in charles :
bWarning/b: mysqli::mysqli() [a
href='function.mysqli-mysqli'function.mysqli-mysqli/a]:

Anyone know how I can use a password file with Weborb, mysqli, and Flex?

I am using nested sets
(http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/hierarchical-data.html),
with left and right keys. I need to construct the data (in php) and
pass it to flex (using a remote call). I need/want to get the data to
flex and put it into an arraycollection. Has any one done this? If
so, can you post some code? I have been banging my head on this for a
long time and cannot get the data into the right format for an array
collection.
Thanks for the help,

[flexcoders] Re: Flex nested tree get data from mysql and php
So I am trying to build a MPTT (nested tree) object in php, I have a
few questions for this group because I am not sure how the data should
be returned. I have been using static data and have a few questions
on what is contained within the data. Here is my arraycollection:
private var myDataProvider:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
Region:Southwest,ID:1,Territory_Rep:Tom Jones, children: [
{Region:Arizona,ID:2, children: [
{Territory_Rep:Barbara Jennings, ID:3},
{Territory_Rep:Dana Binn,ID:4}]},
{Region:Central California,ID:5, children: [
{Territory_Rep:Joe Smith, ID:6}]},
{Region:Nevada, ID:7, children: [
{Territory_Rep:Bethany Pittman,ID:8}]},
{Region:Northern California, ID:9, children: [
{Territory_Rep:Lauren Ipsum,ID:10},
{Territory_Rep:T.R. Smith,ID:11}]},
{Region:Southern California,ID:'12', children: [
{Territory_Rep:Alice Treu, ID:'13'},
{Territory_Rep:Jane Grove,ID:14}]}
]}
]);
I am in need of some guidance, so bear with me :). I think that this
is an object {Territory_Rep:Joe Smith, ID:6}, is this an array
with an object {Region:Central California,ID:5, children: [
{Territory_Rep:Joe Smith, ID:6}]} ?
Here is my problem, I am creating some php data returns to flex with
arrays, object, assoc arrays. I am not sure what a flex
arraycollection is so I am running some tests. Here are some tests
that I have done,
Example #1
PHP CODE
$o1-name = 'Tom';
$o1-status = 'Dad';
$o2-name = 'Wendy';
$o2-status = 'Daughter';
$b[] = $o2;
$o1-child = $b;
$arr[] = $o1;
return $arr;
Charles Proxy Sees This:
com.mptt.MPTT.GetTree
Parameters
Results
[0]
name
status
child
[0]
name
status
Example #2
$o1-name = 'Tom';
$o1-status = 'Dad';
$o2-name = 'Wendy';
$o2-status = 'Daughter';
$o1-child = $o2;
$arr[] = $o1;
return $arr;
com.mptt.MPTT.GetTree
Parameters
Results
[0]
name
status
child
name
status
Example #3
$o1-name = 'Tom';
$o1-status = 'Dad';
$o2-name = 'Wendy';
$o2-status = 'Daughter';
$o1-child = $o2;
return $o1;
com.mptt.MPTT.GetTree
Parameters
Results
name
status
child
name
status
So when I return the 3 examples int an arraycollection:
var ac:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(result.result as Array);
and use that array collection as a dataprovider for a combobox
mx:ComboBox x=204 y=107 id=cmbox dataProvider={ac}
labelField=name/mx:ComboBox
Only example 1 and 2 return anything and that is only the first name,
none of the child names propagate the Combobox.
So my question with all of this, how (what format) should I return my
data from php to flex so I can add it (the data) to an arraycollection.
Thanks for all the help, this group rocks,

My client felt it wasn't appropriate to send all the data at once, so the way I work it is to have a manager class that tells each child node to load all of its children one at a time, using an event model that allows for interruptions when the user selects something so that then it concentrates on the children of the selected node.

[flexcoders] Traverse through a TabNavigator
Hello all, I have a TabNavigator that contains 2 forms:

mx:Form id=FormOne label=User
mx:FormItem label=First Name
mx:TextInput id=fname/

mx:TextInput id=lname/
/mx:FormItem
/mx:Form
mx:Form id=FormTwo label=Address
mx:FormItem label=Address
mx:TextInput id=address/
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem label=Zip Code
mx:TextInput id=zip/
/mx:FormItem
/mx:Form
/mx:TabNavigator
and I wrote this script to traverse a Form:
public function Frm(f:Form):void
{
var a:Array = f.getChildren();
for(var i:int = 0; i a.length; i++){
this.FrmI(a[i]);
}
}
public function FrmI(f:FormItem):void
{
var a:Array = f.getChildren();
for(var i:int = 0; i a.length; i++){
trace(a[i].id);
}
}
so the script will take a form object, then see how many childreen it
has then it will send the formitems to FrmI. Frmi will get me the name
of the child objects and that is all. So the problem is when I run init()
public function init():void
{
Frm(FormOne);
Frm(FormTwo);
}
I get this in return:
fname
lname
If I just run the 2nd form like this:
public function init():void
{
Frm(FormTwo);
}
Nothing is displayed. I think this has to do with TabNavigator. It
looks to only get information from the tab that is on the top. Is
that correct, and what do I have to do in order to get all the
information ?

The problem is that only the first child of a TabNavigator is
instantiated initially. Not best practice, but you can set
creationPolicy=All for the TabNavigator; in order to reference the
other children on init.

I take the same form and add a creationcomplete to it:
mx:Form id=One creationcomplete=init(somthing)
mx:FormItem label=First
mx:TextInput id=first/

textinput. I cannot see how to get the validators id when I try and
validate the textinput boxes, here is my code:
mx:Form width=370 id=userInfoForm
mx:FormItem label=First Name required=true
id=fname_25_string
mx:TextInput id=firstName toolTip=First Name: Max Length 25
Characters
maxChars=35 text=James/
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem label=Last Name required=true id=lname_25_string
mx:TextInput id=lastName toolTip=Last Name: Max Length 25
Characters
maxChars=35/
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem label=Email required=true id=Email__
mx:TextInput id=email editable=false toolTip=Cannot edit
this field/
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem label=Title id=tit_25_string
mx:TextInput id=title maxChars=35 toolTip=Title: Max
Length 25 Characters/
/mx:FormItem
/mx:Form
So I do a creationcomplete to run a function to get a list of
all the
textboxes:
private function GetChild(item:Object):void
{
var formItems:Array = item.getChildren();
// loop items and add values
for (var i:int = 0; i formItems.length; i++)
{
// formItem
var formItem:Array = formItems[i].getChildren();
var c:UIComponent = formItem[0];
if(c.className.toString() == 'TextInput'){
var rtnID:String = c.id;
formItem[0].text = _performaReturnUsersData[rtnID];
/* adding an eventlistener (focuseEvent) to all textinput
*/
c.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT,UpdateItem);
var validateString:StringValidator = new
StringValidator();
validateString.source = c;
validateString.property = text;
validateString.required = formItem[0].parent.required;
validateString.maxLength = formItem[0].maxChars - 10;
}
}
}
This function will go through an find textinput boxes then assign a
validator to them. So all is working but the problem is I have no
idea how to validate the data without knowing the id of the
individual
instance of the validator.
I have added a listener to the instances of the textinput called
UpdateItem, so here is the code:
function UpdateItem(f:FocuseOut):void
{
trace(f.target.id);
// Not sure what to do here becuase I dont know the id of the
validator attached to the textinput
}
How can I see if the textinput passes the validators?
Thanks for the help,

Hi timgerr,
try the following:

inside the dynamically validators function do the following:
globalValidators[validatorID_ + formItem[0].id] = validateString ;
now when you need the validator (and you know the component (and its

can get the validator:
StringValidator sv = globalValidators[validatorID_ +

[flexcoders] How to test for object and do other things
Hello all,
I have a question for ya, have an object and I want to test for a flex
ui component with that name. Here is what I am trying to do.
I have these flex UI items:
mx:TextInput id=myInput1 text=Enter text here/
mx:TextInput id=myInput3 text=Enter text here/
mx:TextInput id=myInput5 text=Enter text here/
mx:TextInput id=myInput7 text=Enter text here/
I have an object:
obj.myInput1 = 'Odd';
obj.myInput2 = 'Even';
obj.myInput3 = 'Odd';
obj.myInput4 = 'Even';
obj.myInput5 = 'Odd';
obj.myInput6 = 'Even';
obj.myInput7 = 'Odd';
so I can do this to see what is in the object:
for (var prop:String in obj)
{
trace(prop, ' is ' + obj[prop]);
}
and I will get:
myInput1 is Odd
myInput2 is Even
myInput3 is Odd
myInput4 is Even
myInput5 is Odd
myInput6 is Even
myInput7 is Odd
Now I want to test to see if we have the textinput items for each
return of obj
I want to do something like this:
for (var prop:String in obj)
{
trace(prop, ' is ' + obj[prop]);
if(prop.text) {
trace('found');
prop.text = obj[prop];
}
This should find
myInput1
myInput3
myInput5
myInput7
and add the information in the object to the textinput items.
but the problem is that the above code dosnt work, how can I do this?
Thanks for the help,

Hi Tim,
Glad you figured it out. There's one minor change I would recommend:
when you call any of the find methods, you're always getting an
object (or a collection) back. We tried to simplify the programming
model, however the async nature of Flex's client/server integration is
always there. So even though you get back an object out of the find
calls, initially that object does not have the data. When the client
receives the data from the server, the same instance WebORB returns to
you is updated with the data. As a result, it is recommended to make
sure you actually got the data before you make any changes. Here's how
you can do it:
_master = ActiveRecords.Test.findByIdAndName('6','tessa');
_master.addEventListener( loaded, gotTest );
public function gotTest( evt:DynamicLoadEvent ):void
{
var testObj:Test = (evt.data as ArrayCollection)[0] as Test;
testObj.Email = tessa@;
testObj.Name = tessa;
}
Cheers,

[flexcoders] More questions on weborb, creating my own services
OK, so I have created this hello world service and then had WebOrb
create the code I see in the actionscript comments This:
(If using Model-View-Controller)
- Modify the constructor of the class below to accept the controller
object
- Modify response handlers to pass return values to the controller
(if not using MVC)
- Modify the constructor of the class below to accept your View object
- Modify response handlers to display the result directly in the View
I am not useing MVC so I have to use the 2nd commented option. the
problem is I am not sure what to do, someone help me?
Here is my PHP code:
?php
class HelloWorld {
function ShowMe()
{
return Tom Jones;
}
function ShowName($name)
{
return 'Hello ' . $name;
}
}
?
So I have 2 methods, ShowMe and ShowName.
Here is my as code:
package comp.HelloWorld
{
import mx.rpc.remoting.RemoteObject;
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import mx.rpc.AsyncToken;
import mx.rpc.IResponder;
import comp.HelloWorld.vo.*;
public class HelloWorld
{
private var remoteObject:RemoteObject;
private var model:HelloWorldModel;
public function HelloWorld( model:HelloWorldModel = null )
{
remoteObject = new RemoteObject(GenericDestination);
remoteObject.source = comp.HelloWorld.HelloWorld;
remoteObject.ShowMe.addEventListener(result,ShowMeHandler);
remoteObject.ShowName.addEventListener(result,ShowNameHandler);
remoteObject.addEventListener(fault, onFault);
if( model == null )
model = new HelloWorldModel();
this.model = model;
}
public function setCredentials( userid:String, password:String
):void
{
remoteObject.setCredentials( userid, password );
}
public function GetModel():HelloWorldModel
{
return this.model;
}
public function ShowMe( responder:IResponder = null):void
{
var asyncToken:AsyncToken = remoteObject.ShowMe();
if( responder != null )
asyncToken.addResponder( responder );
}
public function ShowName( name:String, responder:IResponder =
null):void
{
var asyncToken:AsyncToken = remoteObject.ShowName( name);
if( responder != null )
asyncToken.addResponder( responder );
}
public virtual function ShowMeHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
var returnValue:Object = event.result as Object;
model.ShowMe = event.result as Object;
}
public virtual function ShowNameHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
var returnValue:Object = event.result as Object;
model.ShowName = event.result as Object;
}
public function onFault (event:FaultEvent):void
{
Alert.show(event.fault.faultString, Error);
}
}
}
I get an error on: import comp.HelloWorld.vo.* (not sure what this is
or how to create it)
And here is another chunck of code that I have to modify
public virtual function ShowMeHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
var returnValue:Object = event.result as Object;
model.ShowMe = event.result as Object;
}
public virtual function ShowNameHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
var returnValue:Object = event.result as Object;
model.ShowName = event.result as Object;
}
I get an error:
(Severity and Description PathResourceLocation

with static type comp.HelloWorld:HelloWorldModel.

1222790567712 8938)
On these 2 lines of code:
model.ShowMe = event.result as Object;
model.ShowName = event.result as Object;
I just want to return that stuff, what do I have to do in order to fix
the errors.

Thanks for the help Igor. I am not sure what you mean. I see in the documentation that save is insert or update information: save() method public function save(cascade:Boolean = true, responder:Responder = null):AsyncToken Saves new or updates existing ActiveRecord. The method sends a request to the remote data source. New ActiveRecord instance is added to the data store, existing record is updated with all the new values in the record properties. Calling save() on an instance of ActiveRecord is equivalent to calling save() on the data mapper associated with this ActiveRecord. Parameters cascade:Boolean (default = true) indicates if the save operation should do deep traversal over all related records. If true, save performs deep traversal, otherwise, only direct properties of the ActiveRecord are saved in the data store. responder:Responder (default = null) a responder object to receive success/failure callbacks when the save operation is complete. Returns AsyncToken AsyncToken returned from the underlying remote invocation I am not sure how to set this up for an update. When doing a SQL update I do somting like: Update some_table set This = That where id = # How do I specify what table to update when invoking the save() method in flex?

OK, I found out how to do this. When updating a row I have to specify
the row id, I think that is all. That is how I got it to work.
So if I have this
_master = ActiveRecords.Test.findByIdAndName('6','tessa');
_master[0].Email = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
_master[0].Name = tessa;
_master[0].Id = 6;
I then create the test method (I think that is what you call it)
var i:Test = new Test();
i.Name = Tess;
i.Email = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
i.Id = 6;
var asyncToken:AsyncToken = null;
asyncToken = i.save();
asyncToken.addResponder(new mx.rpc.Responder (OnCreated,OnFault));

It is hard to find. Here is a snippet from my code. Hope it helps!
public function loadFavorites( resultHandler:Function,

var dataService:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject();
var channel:Channel = new AMFChannel( 'amfphp',

dataService.loadFavorites.addEventListener( ResultEvent.RESULT,

dataService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, errorHandler);

}
This calls FavoritesProxy-loadFavorites in the amfphp services.

Hello all, hope you all are doing good. I have a question on how to
build the Flex RemoteObject method in action script. I am having
troubles doing this. Here is my RemoteObject:
mx:RemoteObject id=myservice fault=faultHandler(event)
showBusyCursor=true source=tutorials.HelloWorld
destination=amfphp
mx:method name=sayHello result=resultHandler(event) /
/mx:RemoteObject
Can someone take the above code and do it in acitonscript? It is not
that I want someone to do my work, I am having a hard time finding
data to do this. Most examples are in Flash and for some reason they
do not work right in Flex.
Thanks for all the help,

[flexcoders] Still working on learning AMFPHP
Here is a Flex question that I have,
If I do this code:
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute
mx:RemoteObject id=myservice fault=faultHandler(event)
showBusyCursor=true source=tutorials.HelloWorld destination=amfphp
mx:method name=sayHello result=resultHandler(event) /
/mx:RemoteObject
All works fine, but if a add a variable to the mx:method name like this
private var _somthing:string = sayHello;
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute
mx:RemoteObject id=myservice fault=faultHandler(event)
showBusyCursor=true source=tutorials.HelloWorld destination=amfphp
mx:method name={_somthing} result=resultHandler(event) /
/mx:RemoteObject
I get an error for this mx:method name={_somthing}
How can I have mx:method name= be a variable?
thanks for the help,

[flexcoders] Flex, BlazeDS, AMFPHP, LiveCycle Data Services
Hello All, I have to pick your brains on ways to connect to my back end. Right now I send data from flex via HTTPServices request to PHP and then PHP will return data via JSON. The reason why I do that is becuause I come from using Java Script and Dojo. I have been working with flex for many months and that is the way my front end (Flex) connects to the back end (PHP). I have been been reading about 3 new thing (to me that is) and have a few questions about them. 1. I know that BlazeDS and LiveCycle Data Services are sort of the same thing, what are the differences? Is anyone using them and do you have to be a Java guru to use it? I know PHP well, but I can learn Java if needed. 2. Is AMFPHP a good tool to communicate to my backed? How hard is it to learn? What are the benefits of using it? 3. What is better for future Flex/Air development? I am creating a web app that a user has to authenticate to, session information has to be kept and that sort of stuff. I am asking the community what they think is the best way for Flex/Air to talk to the back end. I am running Centos 5, MYSql on Apache. Thanks for the help, timgerr

[flexcoders] Differences between AIR html and Flex
Hello all, I have been programming in flex for about 6 months now and A friend just showed me something cool. He was able to run an AIR app locally and within a web page. Can I create Air apps that run on both HTML web pages and locally??? Thanks for the help, Timgerr

Subject: [flexcoders] Question about launching a form from a MXML
component.
Hello all,
I have this MXML component called users.mxml, here is what it looks
like:
mx:Canvas xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; width=366
height=208
mx:Form id=nuNewUserForm x=36 height=198
mx:FormItem label=User Name required=true
mx:TextInput id=username toolTip=Less than 16 characters
invalid=IsValid('username',false) valid=IsValid('username',true)/
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem label=First Name required=true
mx:TextInput id=firstname maxChars=25 toolTip=Less than 25
characters
invalid=IsValid('fistname',false) valid=IsValid('fistname',true)/
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem label=Last Name required=true
mx:TextInput id=lastname maxChars=25 toolTip=Less than 25
characters
invalid=IsValid('lastname',false) valid=IsValid('lastname',true)/
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem label=Email required=true
mx:TextInput id=email maxChars=100 toolTip=Less than 100
characters
invalid=IsValid('email',false) valid=IsValid('email',true)/
/mx:FormItem
mx:Label id=NewUserDateLabel text={newUserDate}/
mx:Button id=NewUserSubmit enabled=true label=Submit
click=Submit()/
/mx:Form
/mx:Canvas
I then want to add it to Master.MXML
so I do this :
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute creationComplete=MasterInit()
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import comp.users.*;
private function MasterInit():void
{
var FRM:Users= new Users();
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:Application
Once the MasterInit() is called, what do I have to do in order to get
the form from Usersto show?
Thanks,
