[flexcoders] Border collapse in Grid?

[flexcoders] ComboBox selectedLabel bug?

[flexcoders] Expand/Collapse AdvancedDataGrid row?
Hello good people! I have a DataGrid with a button in each row and when you press one of the button, there should be a control panel that expands below that row (pushing down everything else). This panel spans the entire row and has a specific height. Any recommendation on how to achieve this? I've seen ADG demo on group-able items, but is this the right way to do it? If so, that means I need to insert dummy data for each row in the dataProvider? Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks!
[flexcoders] Trouble manually creating ToolTip with showEffect and hideEffect
I use createToolTip to create a ToolTip manually, but somehow I couldn't get the showEffect and hideEffect to apply. I have properly set the ToolTipManager.showEffect and ToolTipManager.hideEffect to an effect, but it's not biting. The same effect works if I just use the 'tooltip' property of a component.

[flexcoders] Trouble manually creating ToolTip with showEffect and hideEffect
Hello, flexcoders! Anyone had experience using createToolTip() to create ToolTip manually and then have showEffect and hideEffect apply to it? I have to manually create the ToolTips because I want them to follow my mouse in realtime. I also want it to fade in and out on show/hide, so I set the effects like this: ToolTipManager.showEffect = this.myShowEffect; ToolTipManager.hideEffect = this.myHideEffect; But this doesn't seem to work for manually created ToolTip. It work if you specify the tooltip property in the components markup. Any idea why? Thanks!
[flexcoders] Component that passes through mouse events (?)
Hi fellow flexcoders, Is it possible to have a component that is on top of another component yet it does not block any mouse events, instead it passes them through to the component underneath it?

[flexcoders] ExternalInterface race conditions problem. Please help!
Can anyone shed a light on how code execution flows when you have JS
calling AS function which calls another JS function? I seem to be
getting a very unpredictable race conditions.
So here's how my code kind of looks like:
[JS]
JSLine1();
swfMov.callASFuncA(); // this calls AS functions
JSLine3();
[AS]
function ASFuncA()
{
ASLine1();
ExternalInterface.call(callJSFuncB);
ASLine3();
}
So does JSLine3() get called before callJSFuncB()? Or does the code
execution hangs on callASFuncA() until it returns? And what about
ASLine3(), when is it gonna get called?
Thanks for the help!
[flexcoders] HorizontalList drop indicator weirdness
Hello! I have a HorizontalList with drag drop enabled, so you can re-arrange stuff in it. For some reason in HorizontalList, the drop indicator line appears on top of an item instead of on the side of the item like in TileList. I was wondering if there's a way to change this. I was trying to reason why this is happening and my guess is HorizontalList is probably a TileList with direction=vertical and max row set to 1. Thus, it is working as if it is a tall 1-column list and that's why the drop indicator is on top of the item. I appreciate the advice!
[flexcoders] Custom skin on HScrollBar appearing differently than VScrollBar
Hi flexcoders! I have a VScrollBar and HScrollBar that both loads identical skins (it's simply some PNGs).

Anyone has an idea? Thanks!

Have not tried beta 2 yet. But it is beta so that is fine. But, from the sneak peak I saw, there were only a few IDE features added that still leaves it behind almost every other IDE out there. I know that Flex 3 will add some basic refactoring features and some people said wow, that's cool!. But I said, wow, it's about time! My question... How much effort is Adobe putting into the FlexBuilder IDE (which we pay for) as it is very behind the times as far as expected developer productivity features (found in almost all FREE progamming language IDE's). I've been waiting for some extemely basic ones such as: - Code formatter to reformat code of sloppy developers not caring about the format of their code. - Import organization, which organizes, add/deletes imports as needed. - Smarter indentation. Cut a section of code from one place in my file to another, it should re-indent as necessary for the destination. - Renaming or moving a class should go through the entire project and refactor for me. These are just some of the most basic things and the list goes on. What, if any, should we expect to see in Flex 3? Don't get me wrong, I think Flex absolutely rocks! But, I do find that I lose productivity with these very basic and completely expected features that I'm use to having. Dale

[flexcoders] Re: Cannot get unselected Tab to be pure white color...
Hmm, this doesn't get rid of the border, it simply sets the color to
what the background color would look.
And it's not pure white either, the highlight only sets the upper half
of the tab to white.
I think the only way to do this is to override the skin, because the
default skin is actually semi-transparent.
Another related question. Is it possible to have fillColor works on
selected tab? The selected tab is always a flat color, can I use CSS
to make it a gradient?

Unfortunately, this makes the selected tab the same color as the

different
than white, or in this case #EE.

[flexcoders] Variable instances behavior in Actionscript
Very stupid question which has been bugging me for a while and just might be the most basic question in this group. How does a object instance behave in Actionscript? Say if I have this: var a:Book = new Book(); var b:Book = a; var c:Book = b; So does c actually point to the instance that a and b is pointing to or is it pointing to b? And if I do this: c = null; Does a and b get nulled too or does it act more like a pointer where it means c is now pointing to null, a and b still points to the object instance? Thanks!

I am trying to achieve this: Root Test xmlns=http://somenamespace;/Test /Root I assign that to an XML object, set the default xml namespace, and it always turns out like this: Root xmlns=http://somenamespace; Test/Test /Root --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, williamkusumo williamkusumo@ wrote: Hi! I am assembling XML from strings. This XML has a default namespace and one custom namespace. The namespaces declarations have to be inside certain node. I notice Flex seems to be moving the namespaces around and putting them all into the root node. Is it possible to have it not do that? Appreciate the thoughts.
[flexcoders] Re: Problem with ArrayCollection inside an Object
It'd be nice if Flex have the ability to pass in a custom argument when you add an event listener and have that argument be available in the function handler. Is that possible? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, williamkusumo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think this might be a classic programming questions rather than Flex's. I have a custom Object with an ArrayCollection as one of its property. I added a COLLECTION_CHANGE listener on that ArrayCollection. In its handler function, I need a reference to the object that contains the ArrayCollection. Yes, I could've had the object as a global instance so I can access it directly in the function, but another caveat to this is there could be several of these objects, and looping through them one by one to find if they own a particular ArrayCollection might not be a choice. Is there another way to somehow obtain a reference to the ArrayCollection owner's object? Thanks!

[flexcoders] Problem detecting data change in a List
Hi! I have a List bound to an ArrayCollection. And this List is draggable, so you can re-arrange the items. You can also remove or add stuff to it. I would like to do something when the List is modified, but 'dataChange' doesn't seem to work. Anyone has any idea? 'change' is not what I want since it only detects changes to selectedItem/selectedIndex. I've thought about putting an event listener on the ArrayCollection itself, but the problem is the ArrayCollection can be null under some circumstances. Any help appreciated!
[flexcoders] Deleting an Item from a List
Hi! I have a List (populated via a dataProvider) and in each of the list items, I have a Close button. What is the best way to remove the item when the Close button is clicked? I understand I must remove the data from the dataProvider instead of just deleting the list item, but how do you get the index of the list item based on which button is clicked? I have tried using the list's selectedIndex, but that's not really how you want to do it because the list item won't necessarily be the one selected when the close button is clicked (it'll screw up if you use keyboard to navigate to the button) I have tried getting the list by using thebutton.parent.parent and then do a getChildIndex(...) passing in thebutton.parent. But all I got is the number 2 all the time no matter which item I clicked on. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[flexcoders] Re: Show incremental numeric index in a List
Thanks for the feedback, guys! I implemented IDropInListItemRenderer and got ahold of listData.owner. You are right, itemRendererToIndex(...) will get you the correct index. The trouble now is how do I bind the result of itemRendererToIndex to a label inside the itemRenderer so that it automatically updates when the dataProvider is changed? You mentioned overriding updateDisplayList(), isn't that function related more to updating the styles?

[flexcoders] Re: Show incremental numeric index in a List
Actually, if you consider performance, would Tracy's idea be a better performer? (On dragDrop, we just loop through the dataProvider and update a property that has the index manually) Thanks! --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, williamkusumo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the feedback, guys!

[flexcoders] How to clone object?
How do you clone/make copies of an object? I see some clone() functions in the docs, but they are all part of some unrelated class like Events. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[flexcoders] Re: How to clone object?
Thanks, I saw that, but not sure if it would work with any Object.

[flexcoders] Newbie in need of help with graphics
Please forgive this stupid question. I can't seem to figure out how to draw a simple rectangle in a Flex app...:( I know it involve the graphics object and I have to call drawRect at some point. But where do I put this code, and how do I attach this rectangle into one of the container? Any help is much appreciated. I can't seem to find any tutorial that is actually working either. Thanks!
