[flexcoders] Re: Setting the backgroundcolor of a canvas with a function - Newbie alert

2007-01-18 Thread Cato Paus 
Hi here is a working Code :)

as you see the input to the public function is as you did; String.
but we return a uint, as you see the whole public function is in {} 
this is for binding the public function to the backgound.

 Hi Cato!
 
 Thanks for your reply, but I still can't make it work.
 
 The value {myRepeater.currentItem.left.page.swift} is a string (or 
is
 it?) it contains a number, either 0 or 1.
 leftpage pageno=22 swift=0//left
 leftpage pageno=22 swift=1//left
 
 I've tryed to do it like you suggest, getColor(swift:uint):uint, but
 with no changes.
 
 public function getColor(swift:uint):uint {
   if (swift==1) {
   return 0x00;
   } else {
   return 0xFF;
   }
 }
 
 mx:Canvas
 backgroundColor=getColor(uint
({myRepeater.currentItem.left.page.swift})
 width=50%
 
 The error I get is on the mx:Canvas line, 1067: Implicit coercion
 of a value of type String to an unrelated type uint.
 
 Anyone out there that can help me on this issue ?
 
 Thanks in advance.

 In my first Flex2 app, I'm trying to set the background color of a
 canvas inside a repeater, to a specific color depending on a value 
in
 the datasource.
 
 In my mx:Script I made this function:
 private function getColor(swift:String):String {
if (swift=='1') {
   return '#00'
}else{
   return '#FF'
   }
 }
 
 
 mx:Canvas
 backgroundColor=getColor({myRepeater.currentItem.left.page.swift})
 width=50%
 
 This generates an error in FB when I save :
 1067 - Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated
 type uint.
 
 I'm pretty sure that I got this all wrong, isn't it possible to use
 the return value directly in the repeater, should I use a var to 
hold
 it - what to do ??
 
 Any help telling me why (and why not) is greatly appreciated.
 
 Thanks,
 Mark
