thanks Alex! I actually went ahead and created my own scheduler using the constraintRows/Columns in a canvas and each program entry is a button. each button is created with its height fixed and width based upon the length of the program to match the timeline of the scheduler. it load perfectly the way I need it to but now I have to figure out how to use the keyboard to navigate (which you so promptly replied to in another post) the up/down nav and setting focus on application startup (so you dont have to click into the browser to setFocus).
thanks again for the help man! you rock --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Finally got a chance to spend a few minutes on this.
