RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2.0 beta TextArea question
If I understand you correctly, heres
the difference between your examples
In your example where you set the
vPosition from a Button:
private function setLogVPosition():void
{
txtLog.vPosition =
txtLog.maxVPosition;
}
the text in the text area was
already set and fully drawn prior to setting the scroll position . All you are
doing here is setting the vPosition on the text that is currently (and already)
loaded into the textArea.. so theres no problem.
In your other example, you were first changing
the text of the textArea, and on the next line you set the vPosition. In this
case, by the time you set the vPosition, the textArea had not fully updated
with its new text.
So, by calling validateNow() in between changing
the textArea contents and setting the vPosition, you are telling the textArea
to perform any necessary property updates, including redrawing if need be. So
then by the time you set the vPosition, the textArea is ready to go.
Let me know if that doesnt clear
things up.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2.0 beta TextArea question
These were examples from someone else that
I was trying to help, but that doesn't matter.
You're explanation is correct, except for
one detail... when you say including redrawing if need be. Calling
validateNow() doesn't cause the player to redraw during the call, although it
may cause the player to redraw later. The player always does delayed drawing
that isn't in the middle of any ActionScript method.
What validateNow() DOES do is force the
methods validateProperties(), validateSize(), and validateDisplayList() to be
called immediately if they would be called later. The validateProperties()
method calls commitProperties(), and a TextArea's commitProperties() method
sets the 'text' into its internal TextField, which then causes maxVPosition to be
correct.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2.0 beta TextArea question
Yea, that example works too for me, I think the problem is somewhere else.
private function setLogVPosition():void
{
txtLog.vPosition = txtLog.maxVPosition;
}
If I trigger this function on a button click, it works
mx:Button click=setLogVPosition() x=29 y=105 label=Button/
But I want to use it in a function that changes the txtLog's text, like
this:
private function socketDataHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void
{
txtLog.text += \n + oSocket.readUTFBytes(oSocket.bytesAvailable);
setLogVPosition();
}
And this one doesn't work. It sets the text with the correct data, but it
can't set the VPosition. It seems it has to be wired to some clientside
event, and can't be triggered from code. Is that correct?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 2.0 beta TextArea question
it doesn't have to be wired to clientside code. You should be able to call the function.. What I'm guessing is that its a scoping issue. I think that your socket handler is scoped outside your call. Place a debug breakpoint and open up into debug mode. You should be able to see if that function is even getting called.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2.0 beta TextArea question
There should be no need for callLater() or a Timer. These are workarounds from Flex 1.X that we want to banish in Flex 2. Mac Martine wrote: I believe you will find a detailed answer in the thread from Feb 1 with the Subject: [flexcoders] Scrolling a TextArea to the bottom? This thread explained that setting a property like the 'text' of a TextArea does not immediately update other properties such as maxVPosition; by default this happens latter, for performance reasons. However, you can force all properties to update immediately by calling validateNow() on a UIComponent. So if you set the text, call validateNow(), and then set the vPosition to the maxVPosition, it should scroll to the bottom. If there are problem with making this work, please file bugs. - Gordon -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Manish Jethani Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2006 12:10 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Flex 2.0 beta TextArea question On 2/8/06, Manish Jethani [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Okay, the problem is that the TextArea's maxVPosition is 0 even after the text is set.
