RE: [flexcoders] F2 Alpha: Repeaters and dynamic HTML text?
Sending this again because it never seems to have gone through: Thanks Ashish that works now. Seems like a lot of work just to get it to render as HTML does, but oh well. I guess there is a lot to learn about layout in Flex 2. By the way, in the F2 Alpha, I could not get older versions of the bullet.gif to go away, no matter how many times I deleted the file from the file system in the project folder, and the bin folder Flex produces. I even deleted it in Flex and re-imported it, made sure it was updated in the project and bin folders, deleted my browser cache, etc. Still showed the old graphic when it compiled. The only way I could get it to update with the new graphic was to comment out the line: mx:Image source=@Embed('assets/bullet.gif')/ , then compile, then un-comment the line and compile again. Then the graphic was updated. Weird it was like Flexbuilder keeps some other cache somewhere else outside the project folder. Thanks for the help.

Re: [flexcoders] F2 Alpha: Repeaters and dynamic HTML text?
Yeah, having the same issue (caching) when embedding assets. When embedding specific items from a swf file it either tells me it can't find the specified asset or when updating the swf, I get the old version. Usually, cleaning the project seems to do the trick (Project -- Clean). regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Merrill, Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2005 6:44 PM Subject: RE: [flexcoders] F2 Alpha: Repeaters and dynamic HTML text?

RE: [flexcoders] F2 Alpha: Repeaters and dynamic HTML text?
OK thanks Ashish, getting closer. However, the text drops down and to the right from the bullet, and the bullet is completely snug at the far and upper left. When rendered as straight HTML it doesnt do this. i.e. mx:Text mx:htmlText ![CDATA[img src=''/Test HTML Text]] /mx:htmlText /mx:Text That positions the text and graphic completely different. See the differences here: http://cmt.icfconsulting.com/temp/AFDW/AFDWTOC.html Any ideas? Thanks.

Full of questions today. So using Flexbuilder 2 Alpha, I want to use a repeater to show text, and so this works fine: mx:Repeater id=CMMetricsTextRepeater dataProvider={dataService.result.dashboard.categories.category} mx:Image source=@Embed('assets/bullet.gif') / mx:Text text={CMMetricsTextRepeater.currentItem.label}/ /mx:Repeater However, I want that bullet graphic to appear next to the text, but it doesnt the bullet appears, but the text that follows drops to the next line. So, I thought I would try HTML text, but Im not sure how to use the dynamic data of a repeater since the text is supposed to be enclosed in a CDATA tag. For example, this does not work: mx:Repeater id=CMMetricsTextRepeater dataProvider={dataService.result.dashboard.categories.category} mx:htmlText ![CDATA[img src=''/ {CMMetricsTextRepeater.currentItem.label} ]] /mx:htmlText /mx:Repeater What happens is the {CMMetricsTextRepeater.currentItem.label} is shown literally since its in the CDATA tag. How do I use repeaters and dynamic HTML text? Do I *have* to use Actionscript for this? If so, how? Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] F2 Alpha: Repeaters and dynamic HTML text?
Text and image are aligned to the top as designed.Since your bullet image is small, itgives an appearance thattext is renderedbelow the image. If possible create a bigger bullet image by adding some white space on the top of the image. If youwant to use the same image then add that image to a VBoxand set marginTop to some value say 5. Your code would look like: mx:Repeater mx:HBox mx:VBox marginTop="5" mx:Image/ /mx:VBox mx:Text/ /mx:HBox /mx:Repeater -Ashish From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Merrill, JasonSent: Monday, October 24, 2005 1:16 PMTo: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: RE: [flexcoders] F2 Alpha: Repeaters and dynamic HTML text?
