Hi all, I've been wanting to learn Flex since 1.5 and finally got the chance
to really dive in this weekend. I'm putting together an application that
gets information from a ColdFusion application and was wondering if I'm
handling the results properly. I want to bind the data from one of the
methods of my RemoteObject, but I want to massage the data first (add a
property that doesn't exist on the server) so this is what I'm doing:
My RemoteObject looks like this:
<mx:RemoteObject id="Jukebox" destination="ColdFusion" showBusyCursor="true"
source="model.service.JukeboxService" />
In my initApp() method, I've got this line:
Jukebox.getFullList.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT,handleResult);
Which triggers this function:
[Bindable]
public var fullList:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
public function handleResult(e:ResultEvent):void {
for (var i:Object in e.result) {
e.result[i].inPlayList = "+";
fullList.addItem(e.result[i]);
}
}
And then my DataGrid:
<mx:DataGrid id="fullListDG" width="80%" dataProvider="{fullList}"
itemClick="setSelectedTrack(event)" y="30">
It seems to be working, though I'm not sure how strong that binding is; I
seem to recall in the reams and reams of docs and examples I read this
weekend that binding a variable like that won't update the DataGrid if the
contents of the variable change?
Thanks!
