Yes, I frequently listen for updateComplete event to hide a spinner showing busy states, especially if the lists are long and use complex item renderers, anything that makes them slow to update onscreen. It's reliable if (and only if) you have records in the underlying dataProvider. I found through trial and error though, that if the dataProvider list is empty, then updateComplete doesn't get fired. Again, for initial loading of lists, or if you are updating the underlying collection in a way that will cause the list to update.
For example: <s:DataGroup width="100%" dataProvider="{_dataProvider}" contentBackgroundAlpha="0" itemRenderer="{itemRenderer}" updateComplete="Alert.hideBusy()"> Cheers, Erik On Jan 9, 2018, at 2:23 PM, bilbosax <waspenc...@comcast.net> wrote: I don't know if this how anybody else would do it, but it seems to be working at this point. I have a list in the state that I am moving to from the state that contains the map. I listen to the updateComplete event on the list, and when that fires, I dispatch an event that hides the map. This has the effect of making it look like the map and the new state change at the same time, which is what I wanted. Even though this is working, I am curious if there is a more standard event that most people would react to. Let me know if you have any thoughts. -- Sent from: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/
