I'm still using Beta 3 (stupid slow procurement department)...
I'm working on extending framework components, and am playing with the
combobox.
When I run my version, it functions as expected, but the arrow on the
combo box (what you click to deop it down) does not display. I put a

Does anyone know of a good (reasonably plain language) writeup of how
(and why and when) to use the various sizing properties when extending
UIComponent?
I've read the documentation in Help, but it hasn't fully sunk through
my thick head yet.
I'd like to understand enough to know not only WHAT
Hey,
In Flash you used to be able to publish a Projector (exe) file for
Windows.
I know there are a bunch of SWF to EXE apps out there (Zinc, etc), but
I don't need any of the filesystem APIs, etc, I just need to put my

I'm creating a custom component extending UIComponent.
Much of the component is drawn by the Drawing API during the updateDisplayList
using
settings calculated during the commitProperties. Works great.
The problem arises when the end developer USING the component changes the size

i completely agree with Jeff - using the events is the best way to go.
If, for some reason that doesn't work for you, you can always reference the

using mx.core.Application.application, which is a reference to the top top

I have a few lists whose items I want to drag and drop to another
component.
I can roll my own and code the entire drag/drop operation, but I'm lazy.
I looked at the list-based drag and drop features, which look cool:
mx:List id=personList dragEnabled=true /
mx:List id=eventList dragEnabled=true
I'm working to architect an app using Flex Data Services.
As a simple example, let's consider the office management application.
I have a Person class, who has all the normal properties, one of which
is Level indicating the code for their level of seniority (A 1
2 ... 5 P -- for partner).

I've seen similar things with much smaller file sizes that are
developed continuously or run over and over again (a.k.a. developed).
Shutting down Builder and the browser that the app has been launched
in repeatedly (we're using the Eclipse plugin and firefox, but
whatever) seems to help out.
Hi,
I haven't worked with webservices much, but am needing to test out a
service that was produced by a software package my company is
evaluating. I'm building the flex front end to show the results.
When I run what I have, I get errors when the application launches:

This is cool. Thanks for putting it out there.

I think by using an itemrenderer you are taking away the default
ability for the list's default renderer to show the icons.
How about taking your icon function code and move it into your item
renderer. You can do conditionals inside the item renderer code based
on the data parameter, which is
I'm trying to create a custom DragProxy and assign a property of it
that controls its appearance, but am getting a null pointer

I'm working on an app that has the need for several popup item
editor kind of windows.
Example: there are people in a list, and when you double click one of
them, you get a popup (TitleWindow) with a form with fields for (and
populated with the selected person's) FirstName, LastName, ... and
I talk to myself all the time, so why not do it on FlexCoders?
I was thinking more about my problem: I had tried to do something
like this:
//code here to create new popup of my TitleWindow form, then...
myTitleWindow.person = myPerson;
But I was getting errors and/or nothing because
I'm in the process of making a small form to upload a file to my PHP
server.
I'm using a FileReference and was following the examples in the AS3
documentation. It's working well.
But I'd like to send additional information along with it (basically
equivalent to hidden fields in an HTML form)
I have an area of my app where the user can make a new Thing and can
upload 2 files against it (1 is an image, the other is a text file).
I'd like to have the user interface show a TextInput for the title of
the Thing, and then have 2 Browse buttons, one for the image and
another for the text
I have written what I thought was a simple function which produces
different results when I RUN the code versus when I DEBUG the code (with
no breakpoints). Here's the code:
private var songs:ArrayCollection;
private function getSongIDs():String {
var songStr:String = ;
for each(var song:Song
with running the Eclipse plugin (or
Builder) for extended times and producing nonsense errors?

I have a list showing a variety of items. I use a custom ItemRederer to
diplay the list items, which I want to be able to drag from the list as
well.
When the user drags an item, I want the DragProxy to be a different look

I have an component (HBox) that I'm using for a List's itemRenderer.
I added handlers for rollOver and rollOut to try to make a delete

The button was fizzling on and off until I set the background color

I'm trying to be a good boy and AsDoc my new class that I wrote.
I wanted to put in an example of using it, embedding a complete MXML
document in the @example tag. My MXML document has a CDATA tag in it
(for the script tag) which generated an error from the AsDoc
executable until I removed it:
I think my issue is much more fundamental.
I read about linking to common resource folders here:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/0228.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/0228.html
I created a linked folder in my project to a folder called TEST that
has one .png file in it.
What kind of hackery is needed? It seems silly to not be able to use
common resources across projects -- what's the point of all this great
OOP practice if I can't reuse my items across projects?
By the in windows I assume you mean that if I were (say) on a Mac [I

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to set a backgroundImage for a Container (well, a Canvas,
but it looks like the BGimage stuff is handled in Container). I'd
like the image to align itself to the top left, not the center which
is the framework default.
Has anyone come up with a good way to do this?
I've seen the light and am sold on the object oriented world. I'm
smart enough about it to sound smart and do some good things, but
still dumb enough not to know the right way to do things or the best
way to apprach the problem. I'm confortable working with Flex,
controls, data, components, etc.
Thanks for the reply. I'm wondering why I can't?
According to the docs, myCollection.source gived an XMLList, and the
XMLList docs say that This class (along with the XML, Namespace, and
QName classes) implements powerful XML-handling standards defined in
ECMAScript for XML (E4X) specification
