RE: [Flashcoders] Generate a list with xml
Dude, whats wrong with the DataGrid? Seems to be exactly what you want. Check out this link for a DataGrid with Images sample: http://www.actionscript.com/index.php/fw/1/displaying-images-in-a-datagrid-u tilizing-a-cell-renderer If that isn't what you want, feel free to say why and we'll help further.

Re: [Flashcoders] Generate a list with xml
Hi Nick, I thank you for the link.. but it's not really what I want.. It looks like that. Each record has to be displayed in two parts The first part with a background color has a Text data and a Picture on the right The second part (that comes after the first part) with another background color displays text (this text can have different numbers of lines). The list is the sum of each record. I m not sure It can be done with the datagrid component or if it can, I dont know who to do it... In fact, I suppose (not sure) I have to use a MovieClip that will be duplicate for each record. Stan 2005/12/16, Nick Weekes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Dude, whats wrong with the DataGrid?

RE: [Flashcoders] Generate a list with xml
Ah ok. In that case you could either create your own MovieClip object that creates TextArea + Image clips for two rows, or you could use TextArea in the DataGrid cellRenderer. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stan Sainte-Rose Sent: 16 December 2005 10:45 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Generate a list with xml Hi Nick, I thank you for the link.. but it's not really what I want..

Been frustrated with DataGrid in a past project, been leary of it ever
since - I'm probably a wuss, but instead I made my own data grid using
Movie Clips and a scroll pane and it's been working great. This is a
working draft - not finished - and you'll need to click through some
javascript dialog boxes first, but see the grid in the "planner" tab:
http://cmt.icfconsulting.com/CDRH/DiscoveryPortal%20Source%20Code/Flash/
version4/DiscoveryPortal.html
Here's part of the script that creates and positions the rows - based
on XML data (XPath):
function createPlannerGrid(target_mc:MovieClip, title:String, x:Number,
y:Number, width:Number, height:Number):Array {
var Rows:Array = new Array();
target_mc.attachMovie("rowTitles_mc", "rowTitles_mc", 1);
target_mc.rowTitles_mc._x =
parseInt(XPath.selectNodes(session.data.xmlFiles["config_xml"],
"config/planner/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"));
target_mc.rowTitles_mc._y =
parseInt(XPath.selectNodes(session.data.xmlFiles["config_xml"],
"config/planner/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"));
target_mc.createClassObject(mx.containers.ScrollPane,
"items_sp", 10);
target_mc.items_sp.contentPath = "blank_mc";
var numRows:Number =
XPath.selectNodes(session.data.xmlFiles["tasks_xml"],
"tasks/task").length;
for (var i:Number = 0; i0) {
thisRow._y = Rows[i-1]._y+20; //position the
rows
}
if (i%2 == 0) {
thisRow.gotoAndStop(2); //alternate the row
colors
}
}
target_mc.items_sp.move(x, y);
target_mc.items_sp.setSize(width, height);
return Rows;
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Generate a list with xml
Jason,
I think it's the idea... I will think about it.
A stupid question, do you think using this concept, I ll be able to have row
with different heights ?
Thanks..

RE: [Flashcoders] Generate a list with xml
Sure - that's what I like about doing it that way - each row is a movie
clip, so you can size each row however you like - the next row's
position is based on the previous row's _y + _height - so they are
positioned correctly.
May not be the best solution as far as processor requirements, but it
does the job and offers more flexibility in my opinion.
