Oh yes,
To remove all items from a tilelist you just use
collection = new ArrayCollection();
In my example the dataprovider is refilled as a proof of concept.
Commenting the line:
collection = new
ArrayCollection([{first:'John'},{first:'John'},{first:'John'},{first:'John'},{first:'John'},{first:'John'},{first:'John'},{first:'John'},{first:'John'},{first:'John'},]);

RE: [flexcoders] Re: and I thought Adobe was a professional company. Whats going on with the upgrade
Hi David While I'm not the original poster and realize (via the other posts on this thread) that the changes are documented, they aren't immediately available from where you would expect to find them on the website. For example: http://www.adobe.com/support/flex/ The top line says Current English Version: Flex 2.0.1... updaters available Click on the link and wind up at: http://www.adobe.com/support/flex/downloads_updaters.html You get the release notes for 2.0.1 if you click Release Notes under Flex Builder 2.0.1 but if you click the Flex 2.0.1 SDK Release Notes, you get the release notes from Flex 2.0 unless somehow the 2.0.1 stuff is interspersed (but that wasn't evident if it was). So if you clicked on the correct Flex Builder 2.0.1 link you got what you wanted but one would expect the SDK link to list out updates to the compilers as well (ie. what changes affect more then just the Flex Builder such as new components or functionality). One thing I wanted to know and still can't figure out without installing the Flex 2.0.1 updater is whether or not the underlying version of Eclipse has been updated from Eclipse 3.1.2 to 3.2.x. Might not be meaningful to others but I really need Flex to run well under Eclipse 3.2.x so that I can use Castillo only plugins with Flex. I'm currently running the 2.0 as a plugin so that I can use Eclipse 3.2 but then I keep getting exceptions and issues about can't retrieve labels, thread exceptions when running Flex Debugger Perspective under Eclipse 3.2 (if anyone out there knows a solution please let me know). Up until mid December, Subclipse plugin for the newer Subversion client was only available for Castillo (subclipse 1.0.4 for Eclipse 3.1 was released in December) so that caused other issues. I still don't know whether 2.0.1 upgrades Eclipse or not.. I'd love to know that. My guess is it won't. Second, if one is running Flex Data Services, the same page lists release notes for Flex Data Services 2.0.1 but I can't seem to find the link to download the Flex Data Services 2.0.1. Unless they are a). Contained within the Flex Builder 2.0.1 installer or b) are located somewhere else on the site. I think I found link last night from some other page to download said version of the data services but I can't seem to find it today and the link last night wound up with a broken link page. Not sure if Flex Charting has similar issues as I believe they install as part of Flex Builder 2 but if so I'd suggest a link on the update page along with the release notes. One should never have to search high and low and read between the lines to know what is included and what isn't and where one should search to find the rest of the parts one needs to update their install. So while the stuff information and associated files may very well be there on your site somewhere, the site lacks cohesiveness in presenting the updaters and information properly. While I didn't start the thread nor do I necessarily agree fully with the title of the thread, I do see a lack of cohesiveness to the information presented on the site. I'd also like to point out that the main Flex Product page doesn't indicate in any way that an update to Flex has been made available. Depending on my reason for visiting Adobe's site, I'd be inclined to visit either the product page or the support site, both should have links to the updaters and both should be clear that an update has occurred. Currently one only finds out about the update from the support site. Finally, more in response to those who are saying RTM, I'd say that the information needs to be posted clearly and in detail outside of the product documentation when it involves and updater like this. For example, if I'm in the middle of a major project that might benefit from said new feature but also could be completed without said new feature and the timeline of the project is rather tight. I would want to read enough detailed information and find it quickly without the need to install the update to determine if the risk of installing the update is less the the amount of effort to continue developing without the update (at least for said project). It might be just a link to a pdf that comprises the pages that were added to the full documentation: list of changes, and the docs on the new features. The sheer volume of the documentation for Flex can be overwhelming. On the subject of the documentation, having only worked with Flex for about a couple of months in my free time, I still have mixed feelings over its completeness in terms of at least examples and finding the right stuff quickly. I've often had to give up on the documentation and search the Internet for examples that meet my particular need. Interestingly enough at times a Google search pinpoints what I need in the LiveDocs that the straight search in the documentation failed to find. The other issue I find is that the examples often utilize the simpliest of cases. An example this

[flexcoders] Flex Builder 2.0.1 crashe
FYI: I've noticed that Flex Builder 2.0.1 doesn't handle well library dependency in one case: If you create a Flex Library Project, then create a folder inside of the project, add a library file (swc) inside of the folder and add dependency on the this library in the project properties the Flex Builder would crash. This is new to 2.0.1. Version 2.0 works fine. One way to avoid the problem is so move library file outside of the project folder. More info at: http://stackoverflowexception.blogspot.com/

The way I solved it was to rename the existing Flex Builder 2 folder to Flex Builder 2 Beta to accurately reflect the builder that created it. On the Mac: /Users/username/Documents/Flex Builder 2 becomes /Users/username/Documents/Flex Builder 2 Beta (Note: for Flex Builder 2 Beta to pick up it's workspace again, you need to choose FileSwitch workspace... from the menu. Not that you'll want to go back to the beta, once you have 2.0.1 running properly.) Then when launching the 2.0.1 version, the Flex Builder 2 folder will be re-created but this time containing a 2.0.1 compatible workspace.

Re: [flexcoders] Max OS X Flex Builder 2.01 License Issue
I don't have a Mac, but to me it seems a retrograde step to have separate PC and Mac licences. Other software I have allows usage on either platform and I can easily envisage a situation where developers might be working on PCs on one project then have to switch to a Mac for another company.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: CRUD in XML
Devis, The short answer is yes. Yes Flex can manipulate your XML data in whatever way you may require. If you could please describe your overall requirement and architecture? For instance, where will you XML file be stored? Are you ultimately storing the XML file on your server? Or is your requirement to store it on the client side? Also, please also let us know what experience you might have working with XML. If you might like to review some of the fundamentals of working with XML in Flex, you can refer to the following section in the documentation: Programming ActionScript 3.0: Working with XML http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/201/html/13_Working_with_XML_169_01.html Here are also two titles from the Quick Starts that Adobe has published: Accessing XML data http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/accessing_xml_data/ Loading external data with HTTPService http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/httpservice/ fwiw, I second Patrick's suggestion about using RemoteObject over HTTPService. If you are writing the backend server side code, there are significant benefits of using RemoteObject over HTTPService. If you are locked into using HTTPService, Flex will still work fine. Again, if you can describe you overall requirement and architecture we can provide more intelligent comments. hth, g On 1/7/07, devisbalsemin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes it's correctly, I have a simple xml file, and i wish to understand if it's possibile Insert, Selecet update delete record into a xml file Thanks devis ps.

RE: [flexcoders] flex2ant
Very nice work! I thought about doing something like this before and ended up taking a bit of a different approach. What I did was create a task that can read the flex project files and from these use mxmlc and compc to build the projects. What I figured is that if Flex Builder is creating the project files for me and can compile off of these that I would mimic the same thing! If people are interested in using this approach I will look at hosting it somewhere. This is however an NAnt task so I suspect there will be less people interested in this.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: and I thought Adobe was a professional company. Whats going on with the upgrade
FYI, my comment was based on errata not the Subject Line. I think everyone here likes Adobe or they wouldn't be using their software to base their solutions on it.

[flexcoders] What will Apollo do for me.
I am building a system in Flex / CF / MSSQL 2K5 to replace a client server app written in Delphi. This is being deployed to the local file server and the users (OK, it's a telemarketing system and I do appologise to those who get called :), about 30 of them are accessing it with sub 1 second response time (lots of logic in SQL Stored Procedures). While running in the flash player is not the prettiest (and by using ZINC or other tools, I can lose the silly player menu). Everything seems fine. Assuming I don't need access to the local file system and other things that FLEX limits, what will APOLLO add? Just curious. Bruce

[flexcoders] Flex 2 - Event after a screen is fully constructed, but before it can be seen
Hello flexSperts : ) I want to do some prep work within my screen that requires all parts of it to be constructed first. Is there a built-in event that fires just before the screen is visible, but guarantees all parts are constructed, that I could listen for? Maybe it occurs right after I addChild() to my viewStack? If so, what would that event be? If not, how do you guys handle this situation? Thanks, Libby
[flexcoders] CSS and background image?
Hi,
I have an image I want to use for a header in this application, I have
that working fine however, I am unsure how I can apply the following
style. The image is 600px wide or so, and then I want this background
image to repeat and fill the rest of my container.
.masthead {
padding: 0px;
background-image: url(/images/masthead_bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
border-bottom: 1px solid #B6BEC5;
position: relative;
color: #004884;
}
I am trying to get the same effect in my flex application. I put the
image in an hbox, and I want the background to be applied to the hbox if
thats even possible.
mx:HBox id=headerBox styleName=masthead width=100% x=0
y=0
mx:Image source=@Embed('assets/logo.gif')
scaleContent=true /
/mx:HBox
Any help appreciated.I also think some of the styles I have declared
above won't work in the same manner in flex so if someone can provide me
an example of how to do this that would be great.
Thanks,

[flexcoders] Type Coercion Failure
Hi,
I'm pretty new to Flex but familiar with earlier versions of AS.
Can anyone provide a clear explanation of what is happening when this
message appears within a Flex project:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
flash.display::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.core.IUIComponent.
I understand that for a Flex project one must use UIComponent instead
of Sprite (not sure why). Why is it required in a Flex project but
not in an AS project?
And what if you want to load a series of images into your Flex
project? I am being passed XML and, based on what's in the XML, I
need to load n number of images onto a canvas, so it seems best to
use a Loader. Why is this exception thrown and how should my code be
modified?
Code:
public function populateContainerWithImages (items:Number,
name:String):Array
{
//make a new array to hold my objects
var imgArray:Array = new Array();
for(var i:int = 0; i items; i++)
{
//make a new loader
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
//load image
var url:String = earTrumpet + i + .gif;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
loader.load(request);
loader.x = 200*i;
loader.y = 20*i;
//add this object to the container object
cnvPlane.addChild(loader);
//Set the name for debug output or for toolTip data
loader.name = name + i;
loader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,
zoomitall);
loader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,
zoomitall);
//save the object on the array
imgArray.push(loader);
}
//let's return this so we can use it later
return imgArray;
}
Thanks,
dave
Re: [flexcoders] What will Apollo do for me.
It will also allow for local caching which might help with performance increases as well as file I/O (which I believe you already have with zinc?).

Re: [flexcoders] Docs included in 2.0.1 are broken
Collin, Perhaps someone else can explain how the docs installed with FB2 are packaged, and how they can accessed outside of FB2. Personally, I just download the following: http://www.adobe.com/go/flex_documentation_zip The link above is among the bottom most links on the Flex 2 Documentation page: http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/ The description there for the zip reads: Documentation ZIP file The Flex documentation ZIP file contains the Flex 2 usage documentation in PDF format and the Flex 2 Language Reference and Flex Data Services 2 Javadocs files in HTML format. So, wherever you unzip this you will find the Flex 2 Language Reference with langref\index.html that you can browse outside of FB2. btw ... in FB2 if you right-click on links and select either Copy Shortcut or Properties you get a URL like the following: http://127.0.0.1:63793/help/topic/com.adobe.flexbuilder.help/langref/overview.html You can copy this URL into a browser and it will work.

RE: [flexcoders] How to clear a TileList of its items?
Thanks for the example Bram but it doesn't help me in this case. My
implementation is a bit more involved so let me explain the details .
My custom TileList extends TileList and is fully written in AS. The
application I'm working on has a menu like the ones that many applications
have. It has a file menu that has menu points like Open, Save As., Close
etc.
If you choose Open, it loads a file and populates the TileList with items
from the file. If you choose Close it calls the following function in the
TileList instance .
public function clear():void
{
_tileCollection = new ArrayCollection();
dataProvider = _tileCollection;
}
The odd thing is: This function is also called every time you choose Open
and it then clears the TileList and immediately loads a file and populates
the list and there it works without problem! But if you choose Close from
the menu and then choose Open, you get the exception: Error #2007: Parameter
child must be non-null.
Also I'm hanging over this problem since a couple of days now and closed and
opened Flex several times so there's no issue with the Debugger.
Thanks for any help!

Does anyone know how to get this working: Having an Ant build.xml that does some project preparing tasks (i.e. increasing build number and store in an auto generated AppInfo class) and then call the Flex builder build process from Ant.

(If it works - dont fix it, was my idea) I'm looking at Flex2 to develop new and better UI for my web applications. I am working at a publishing company that makes a magazine 10 times a year. I've made a web application where the magazine is stitched together, using HTML, ASP and javascript (lowend dhtml). It communicates with several database servers, (mysql and MS SQL) pulling data from various sources (MediaBank DAM and MS Dynamics (Navision)) allowing the users to place articles and insertions on each page, finally creating the entire magazine in a webbrowser - very cool indeed. Now we are looking to create a web app that has some drag'n'drop features, perhaps even some push technology, so other users will get updated real-time if a page gets content placed. And then ofcourse all the nice UI effects that Flex offers, transitions, zoom, etc. So basicly all the backend stuff, making XML services (propably with ASP though) and database query's is not a problem at all - got that covered for years. I've been through the Flex2 - Getting started making all the examples - working and all. Have been fiddling around with different properties etc. to see what influences what. I feel pretty comfotable in the Flex2 enviroment. It's the whole classes and OOP that throw's me off. I hate to write code that dont make sense to me or that I dont understand - very frustrating. I live (and work) in Denmark - not sure if there's any local training in Flex2, I dont think so, but I'll investigate today. I'll have alook at roundpeg and Lynda also, to see what they can offer. Think I'll go get a copy of Essential Actionscript 2.0 essential training or similar, as suggested. Thanks for your help and pointers.

In time you will see that it is definately worth the effort :-) Following below are pointers and links to a startguide for the true newbie. Before getting to that, I want to echo Danny's post Please do provide us more detail about what your prior programming, development and design experience may be. Also, please tell us what successes you have had with Flex 2 thus far? For instance, have you gone through the Lessons in the Getting Started with Flex 2 documentation? (Such as Create Your First Application: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/0065.html ) Also, in many cases Flex is the front end to complex back end computer architectures. And in most full blown production applications Flex is only one part in what frequently is at minimum a 3 tier architecture: 1) Flex UI 2) Application Server middle tier using Java or PHP or ColdFusion, or .NET, etc. 3) Database Are you skilled in any application servers or databases? (Each tier is a specialty unto itself. In team environments, it is not uncommon for individual developers to work supporting just one tier.) Also, what type of applications do you anticipate building? If you let us know, there may be working sample applications applications that we can point you to. Regarding training, I concur with Simeon's advice. There is a huge advantage to having a live instructor. You mention that after reading the docs and the Training from the Sorce book your mind is a bit blown and way out of my league. The benefits of a live instructor is that: a) they are the living book; and, b) they are dynamic. You can ask questions and the instructor can summarize the broad and complex body of knowledge in ways that you you may find easier to grasp. Or, they may be able to provide you answers even before are able to verbalize the question ;-) You can find the list of instructor led courses here: http://www.adobe.com/support/training/products/flex.html And you can search for Adobe Authorized Training Centers in your area here: http://partners.adobe.com/public/partnerfinder/tp/show_find.do One special note, if you can not travel for training, one Adobe Authorized Training Partner, roundpeg.com, offers the same courses over the web with top tier instructors. Watch this link for upcoming dates: http://www.roundpeg.com/home.cfm?main=trainingaction=showlocationLocat\ ionID=37 Beyond books and instructor led, there is some top quality video based training for Flex 2. One option is here: http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modListing.asp?pid=205 Note that there are free samples from each of the titles at the link above.

[flexcoders] Re: CRUD in XML
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/accessing_xml_data/src/XMLAssembleTransform/index.html your link it's very good, but how i can reflect the change also in the xml file? Devis --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, greg h [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Devis, The short answer is yes. Yes Flex can manipulate your XML data in whatever way you may require. If you could please describe your overall requirement and architecture? For instance, where will you XML file be stored? Are you ultimately storing the XML file on your server? Or is your requirement to store it on the client side? Also, please also let us know what experience you might have working with XML. If you might like to review some of the fundamentals of working with XML in Flex, you can refer to the following section in the documentation: Programming ActionScript 3.0: Working with XML http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/201/html/13_Working_with_XML_169_01.html Here are also two titles from the Quick Starts that Adobe has published: Accessing XML data http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/accessing_xml_data/ Loading external data with HTTPService http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/httpservice/ fwiw, I second Patrick's suggestion about using RemoteObject over HTTPService. If you are writing the backend server side code, there are significant benefits of using RemoteObject over HTTPService. If you are locked into using HTTPService, Flex will still work fine. Again, if you can describe you overall requirement and architecture we can provide more intelligent comments. hth, g On 1/7/07, devisbalsemin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes it's correctly, I have a simple xml file, and i wish to understand if it's possibile Insert, Selecet update delete record into a xml file Thanks devis ps.

[flexcoders] Re: Scrolling without a scrollbar
Please disregard. Since HorizontalList doesn't do variable length, this question is somewhat of a moot point. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, graysonpierce [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Benjamin, I finally got around to testing this out. I was able to do this in the css: thumbDownSkin: Embed(source=empty.swf); thumbIcon: Embed(source=empty.swf); thumbOverSkin: Embed(source=empty.swf); thumbUpSkin: Embed(source=empty.swf); trackSkin: Embed(source=empty.swf); (Not sure if the empty.swf provided by the example is transparent) however the next challenge is that I'd like for the left/right arrows to display on the same line as the horizontalList content (rather than below) but when I try to set a size on the horizontalList that will force it to draw on the same line, the scroll bar (even thought it's supposed to be transparent) seems to mask the content. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, benjidudu benjamind@ wrote: You can skin the scrollbars.

Perhaps what you're really after might more accurately be called 'paging'. If you think of it in those terms, does the problem become easier to grasp?

To be more exact something similar to when you open up a bunch of tabs in Firefox and at the point that it can't make the tabs any smaller it displays the right and left icons. Anyone have anything that might be a head-start? Don't really want to get into measuring individual components (mostly buttons), etc. to write it myself. TIA.
