Re: [flexcoders] ui design question, ideas for showing the user to wait while a record loads

2007-02-28 Thread Anthony Lee 

Is it just me or is the busy cursor not a really bad idea. I mean why lock
up the whole application while you're waiting on data for a single component
to load? Is this Web 2.0 or not ;-)

Sorry, I know this doesn't answer your question.

  Hi there,

I've seen on the mxml remote object a tag that sats:

showbusycursor=true

For the actionscript version, (RemoteObject) I can't see an equivelant?

My code goes like this:

// call controller to call as remote object
pageController.getPage(selectedItem);

// switch view from a list of records to a record detail
viewstack1.selectedChild = detail;

How can I using this kind of detail put a busycursor up during the
wait period? Do I need to use events? any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Use the following methods to show and hide the busy cursor.

Cheers,
Adam


import mx.managers.CursorManager;


CursorManager.setBusyCursor();

CursorManager.removeBusyCursor();
