RE: [flexcoders] Re: Can we subclass Application yet?

[Alex Harui]

This pattern worked for me:
 
---- PanelTemplate.mxml -----
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Panel xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; width="200"
height="200" initialize="addNewChildren()" >
<mx:Metadata>
[DefaultProperty("newChildren")]
</mx:Metadata>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
 
 public var newChildren:Array;
 
 private function addNewChildren():void
 {
 if (!newChildren)
  return;
 
 for (var i:int = 0; i < newChildren.length; i++)
 {
  addChildAt(newChildren[i], i + 1);
 }
 }
 
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Button label="default top" />
<mx:Button label="default bottom" />
</mx:Panel>

----- test.mxml -----
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="vertical" xmlns:local="*" >
 <mx:TextInput />
 <local:PanelTemplate>
 <mx:CheckBox label="pick me" />
 <mx:TextArea />
 <mx:DateField />
 <mx:NumericStepper />
 </local:PanelTemplate>
</mx:Application>

Alex - how can you use DefaultProperty for this? Doesn't the compiler
stop you from using a default property on MXML root elements?

        So you can use the defaultProperty trick, but I'd just subclass
in AS and add the toolbar there.  Should be less painful.

         

        I don't answer chart questions.  Gotta have limits ;-)

         

        Hopefully one of the chart engineers will respond.
