[flexcoders] Toggling Menu Item?

[Sascha]

Hi list,

 

Since I cannot find any information about this anywhere else .

 

How do you toggle a (flex 2 ) check/radio menu item from ActionScript? Say I
use an XML object to populate my MenuBar with .

 

private var _menuXML:XMLList =

<>







;

 

var _menubar:MenuBar = new MenuBar();

_menubar.dataProvider = _menuXML;

 

 

. how are you able to toggle the check item on/off with ActionScript? I
don't see any way to reach the specific item via MenuBar properties.

 

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Sascha

[flexcoders] ArrayCollection to xml file function

[Impudent1]

I am trying to get some things working with my app and apollo preview.

I can get it to save a file locally when it goes offline fine. But I would like 
to start extending it so that I can give it an arrayCollection(s) and it will 
write out an xml structured file.

This is what I am using to save a basic string.


 private function saveFile():void{
 var file:File = 
File.appStorageDirectory.resolve("Files/userinfo.txt");
 var stream:FileStream = new FileStream()
 stream.open(file, FileMode.WRITE);
 var str:String = loggedinuser.toString() + "\r " + "other data";
 str = str.replace(/\r/g, File.lineEnding);
 stream.writeUTFBytes(str);
 stream.close();
 str = "";
 }


any snippets or links to show me how to export arrays/arrayCollections would be 
appreciated :)

Let's try this without the typo's.

Cool, I knew that you would get it. :) For something like this, you 
can also bypass the change event (if you just need a value) by 
binding directly:



or, whatever field you want.

Yeah, I've always seen the web-tier compiler as a hang over from the Flex 1 
days - handy if you are getting started, but it's not rated for production 
use in Flex 2 so why bother ?

Is this the correct way of getting data out of the database and into the

RE: [flexcoders] Is there a Synchronized ArrayCollection ?

Actionscript is not multi-threaded.  While the consumer code is

 In some cases(e.g., to display a lot of small data points), I

 Can anybody explain why? Thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] assets in FB

[Douglas Knudsen]

Curious, how do you all store your assets in a mixed FB project?  things
like images.  I have a Java/Flex project for example and have trouble with
embedded assets versus run time assets used y Flex and JSP pages.  How are
you all storing these?

Do you store Flex based assets embedded in a swf inside flx-src directories
in assets folder and store assets used by JSP pages in a assets folder off
of webcontent folder?

[flexcoders] Drag/Drop on PlotChart

[carl_steinhilber]

I'm revisiting this PlotChart project after a brief hiatus. Thanks to
Igor's comments and his pointers to Ely's examples, I was able to get
the chartitem selection working.

Now I have a seemingly larger task and I'm not sure where to start.

To recap, I have a PlotChart and a datagrid both bound to the same
datarenderer. Updating the data in the datagrid cells adjusts the
locations of the chartitems on the PlotChart. Selecting a row in the
datagrid highlights the row and selects the corresponding chartitem,
and clicking on a chartitem highlights the chartitem and selects the
corresponding row in the datagrid.

But now I'd like to be able to drag the chartitems directly, and have
any changes in location update the value(s) in the datagrid.
The things that are tripping me up are:

1) I've done some drag/drop functionality in other Flex apps before,
but always from one container to another. This is pretty much just
dragging within the same container (the chart). So I'm not even sure
if it requires the DragManager or not. Maybe it's just using a
MouseMove event to update the location??

2) It's a rather course chart... the y-axis, for example, is just 0 to
10 with pretty wide increments. I'd like to snap the dragging object
to the grid, but there doesn't appear to be any way to determine
what/where the grid is as a property of the chart. Is there a way?

3) And on DragComplete (if it does, indeed, utilize the DragManager),
I need to be able to determine the new coordinates to be able to
update the datagrid. Obviously if I can get #2 solved, seems like this
should fall into place since I'll know the chartitem position already.

Anybody have any comments and/or pointers on any of this? I Googled
all morning and I'm not finding much.

Thanks in advance!

[flexcoders] Re: TextArea htmltext parsing

[jmfillman]

Scott, 

I'm sending the word Array to PHP for checking. PHP will check each 
word until it finds an incorrect word, then it will send the wrong word 
back, along with 10 suggestions. I'm not that good at PHP, so I hired 
someone to do this for me. We've worked out a fairly comprehensive 
logorithm that I'm quite pleased with the suggested words it returns.

I'm still working on the Flex part, but how I envision this is that 
Flex gets the wrong word back, searches for it and 
highlights/underlines it. The user is presented with a list of words 
they can replace it with, or they can type in a new word (there are 
some good examples of similar stuff in the Flex Builder Help/Flex 2 
Developer's Guide: "Selecting and modifying text" and "Programming 
RichTextEditor Subcontrols"). "Programming RichTextEditor Subcontrols" 
has a section near the end that has a find/replace Application that 
uses a RichTextEditor with a TitleWindow popup.

Anyway, after correcting or adding the "wrong" word, I re-send the word 
Array to PHP for checking. Since I'll allow them to modify the text 
during the spell checking process, I resend the whole array until there 
are no incorrect words.

Still thinking about how to give them the option to ignore words, 
without adding to their custom dictionary, so the spell check doesn't 
get caught in a loop of returning a word that the user says is correct, 
but they don't want to add.

[flexcoders] Re: need a little help with itemRenderer

[Tim Hoff]

Hi Mark,

Try something like this:  (make sure that your itemRenderer is a
container that supports the backgroundColor style property.  You can
change the text color this way as well, using "color".

override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
 super.data = value;

 if( value != null )
 {
 if ( value.myProperty == "myCondition" )
 {
 this.setStyle("backgroundColor","red");
 }
 else
 {
  this.setStyle("backgroundColor","#FF");
 }

 super.invalidateDisplayList();
 }
}

[flexcoders] Re: TextArea htmltext parsing

[jmfillman]

With some playing around, I think I'm headed in the right direction, 
thanks to some cumulative thoughts and ideas from previous posters!!

This is working quite well, so far:

var str:String = myRTA.text;
var pattern:RegExp = /\b\w+/gi;
var results:Array = str.match(pattern);
myDGrid.dataProvider = results;

I output this to a DataGrid to see what I'm getting. I'll have to do 
some additional playing, but I don't think that words like 
applcation will pose a problem. Even if I loose that bolding, 
I'm not concerned, since in my app, that would be an inadvertant 
mistake.

[flexcoders] Re: Make a component 'modal'

[Sean]

Shaun,

I'm working on this problem as well for an application that I'm developing. 
I'll be sure to 
post here if I come up with something ... but there seems to be no elegant 
solution.

I'm likely to go the route of using PopUpManager to overlay a copy of my 
component in 
the correct spot. Seems kludgey though ...

RE: [flexcoders] HELP!!! Custom events in Flex bug?

youdabug! :-)
 
Sorry, it's Friday...
 
You haven't defined the LOGIN constant in LoginEvent.

Ok this is weird. I create a custom flex component that has custom 
events. I initialize the component in actionscript (and throw it to 
good ol PopUp Manager for popup effect) and then try to use 
addEventListener to register the custom event as i would with any 
other flash/flex object created with actionscript. Problem is I keep 
getting this error - "1119: Access of possibly undefined property 
LOGIN through a reference with static type Class." Events are 
registered and work fine if i initialize the component with mxml but 
then i can't make it a popup (or maybe i can but it seems simpler in 
as). Is this a bug or am i the bug? 

// Creating a custom event in a flex component as such:


[Event(name="loginComplete", type="flash.events.Event")]


private componentFunction():void
{
var login:Login = new Login();
login.username = usernameInput.text;
login.password = passwordInput.text;
var event:LoginEvent = new LoginEvent("login", login);
dispatchEvent(event);
}

//Application function - onCreationComplete function...

private function onCreationComplete = function():void
{
loginWizard = new LoginWizard();
loginWizard.addEventListener(LoginEvent.LOGIN, doLogin);
}

//.. and event handler

[flexcoders] Re: HELP!!! Custom events in Flex bug?

[Doug Lowder]

Aren't you missing a definition for LoginEvent.LOGIN in your 
LoginEvent class?  Something like:

public static const LOGIN:String = "login";

RE: [flexcoders] remoteObject and my If statement

[Peter Farland]

You must wait until you get back the ResultEvent before accessing
lastResult from the RemoteObject operation. 

[flexcoders] remoteObject and my If statement

[Chad Gray]

I have a RemoteObject that is firing when a button is clicked.  I want the 
button that is clicked to disappear and another button to appear if the result 
coming back from the remoteObject is true.

What happens is I click the button with a correct login and password (that does 
return the reServalent.Authuser.lastResult as TRUE) and nothing changes.  I 
click the button again and then it works.  My auth button disappear and my 
clockinbutton appears.

Why do I need to press the button twice?  If the roServalent.authUser() is slow 
to retrieve results will the if/else function run without waiting for 
roServalent.authUser.lastResult to return a value?
 

private function authorizeUser():void{
roServalent.authUser()

if (roServalent.authUser.lastResult == true) {
authButton.visible = false;
clockInButton.visible = true;
}else{
authButton.visible = true;
clockInButton.visible = false;
}
}

[flexcoders] need a little help with itemRenderer

[Mark]

I need to change the background color of some items in the 
HorizontalList.  I thought the easiest way would be to create an 
itemRenderer such as below.  But I can't change the color this way.  
Does anyone know what the problem is here?  The setColor function 
will have much more to it once I get the setStyle to work.

Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: How do I read Response after FileReference uploads a file?

[thegators_2002]

Great!  Thanks for all the responses!  It works like a charm.  The
DataEvent object coming back has both a text and a data property that
hold the XML written by Response.Write in the .aspx page.  That's
perfect!  My user can upload an XML file from their local machine, it
goes to my web page and gets parsed, and then the XML is sent to my app.

As a side note, if you cannot find DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA,
upgrade to the 2.01 version of FlexBuilder.

[flexcoders] charts - initializing the legend with array of legenditems

[vijay95052]

Hello,

I have a requirement to be able to put special images as legend item 
renderers.
I was able to achieve this with code like:


   
...

However, I need to be able to do this dynamically in actionscript using 
something similar to whats described in:

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhel
p.htm?context=LiveDocs_Book_Parts&file=charts_intro_108_06.html

I am unable to figure out how I can assign an array of legendItem 
objects to the legend

The Legend doc says I can define an array of legenditems for the legend 

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/mx/charts/Legend.html

but I am missing how?

I do not see any property or method to add legenditems to the legend, 
and if I try to assign the legend to an array of legenditem objects, it 
doesnt like it. I am probably missing something basic but unable to 
figure out - hence the post.

Also, while I am at this, whats the best way to replicate the @embed 
behavior in actionscript?

Thanks for help

Re: [flexcoders] Suggestion .. WebOrbPHP Zend MySql + Flex 2

[Ray Horn]

I don't know about the Zend Platform but I do use WebOrb/PHP 1.3.2 with PHP 
5.2.0 without any issues with the latest Zend Optimizer, if this helps.

WebOrb/PHP does not provide any database connectivity, as such, in terms of 
helping you connect to any specific database.  I had no problems in diging up 
some generic PHP code I got from php.net online help to handle SQL Server 2005 
database connectivity and query processing tasks.  I have been able to clean 
that code up quite a bit.  

In terms of making WebOrb/PHP run queries against SQL Server 2005... I was able 
to plug-in my MSSQLDB class I pulled from php.net right into whichever Services 
I coded using WebOrb/PHP.  Since the Service is nothing more than a PHP Class 
one can interface any PHP Class to any other PHP Class using standard PHP 
coding techniques and so I was able to do this and it worked well for me.  As I 
am also new to PHP I assume I can do anything I can get the compiler to execute 
however stupid the actual coding technique might be is not my primary concern 
at this time.

I have spec'd out some improvements to WebOrb/PHP to bring it closer to the 
functionality of FDS, well sort of, I know FDS is just a better product to use 
but I have gotten into this PHP thing so I am seeing how far I can push the 
language before I switch back to Java and FDS.

* Shared Memory for WebOrb/PHP would be a good thing to allow SQL Result Sets 
to be cached or to facilitate inter-client messaging.
* Inter-client messaging for WebOrb/PHP would be another good thing however I 
would have to use a polling model until I can figure out if PHP can send RTMP 
messages proactively. PHP doesn't maintain any running code in RAM, as far as I 
know, which makes PHP a bit more problematic for handling messages that 
originate at the server more of a problem other than to do so whenever a client 
hits the WebOrb/PHP server at which time messages could be dispatched from the 
server to the client(s).
* Dynamic creation of Destination End-Points would also be nice but this could 
be done using an Abstract Destination that simply dispatches Service invocation 
as needed - this would also tend to break the End-Point/Service model but what 
the hey, whatever it takes to make my life easier is okay with me.  It's a pain 
to have to edit the End-Point config file anyway so I am all for architecting 
that need into the past.

I am not sure if any of this helps anyone - I simply enjoy tooling around with 
things to see what I can learn that may be useful later-on.

I think you will be happy with HTTPService.
 
Specify resultFormat="e4x" in the HTTPService tag, otherwise flex converts the 
xml into an nested mx:Object structure.  I find e4x XML much easier to work 
with.
 
Don't bind directly to lastResult. It is too hard to debug. Instead use a 
result handler, and set an instance variable value(XMLListCollection) to 
event.result.STAFFREC in that, and bind the DataGrid dp to the instance 
variable.  In the handler, you can trace the instance variable.toXMLString() to 
see exactly what yo have, and how to set the DataGridColumn dataField or 
labelFunction.
 
I've written sample code tor this so many times I don't want to do it again 
right now, but post if you need more detail.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but Flex/Flash is single-

synchronization in your scenario.  Synchronization is only an issue on 
the backend server.

[flexcoders] Re: Opening file after download

[Doug Lowder]

You may need to involve the server to accomplish this.  I typically 
get this behavior by streaming content through a server side page 
that sets the Content-Disposition header to "attachment; 
filename=someFile.txt".  That header is what lets the browser know it 
should display the [Save][Open] dialog.  Ont the Flex side, I just 
invoke the server-side page with navigateToURL().

HTH,
Doug

Yes, people have created central event handlers that redispatch events.
I think Cairngorm does this.  Probably find examples in the archives or
google.

[flexcoders] Problems with tooltip position

[Carlos Humberto]

At first I apologize for my terrible English.
I have two TextInput and I want to show a tootip informing that the
"caps lock is on" at the both fields.
My problem is to position the tooltip because the way I was doing is
not the best one.
I used the global coordinates and for the first field works good, but
for the second not.

somebody could explain better how to use the global coordinates with
many fields, one below the other?

Thank you!

creationComplete="Init()"

[flexcoders] Re: Make a component 'modal'

[Shaun]

Hey guys, thanks for the additional suggestions.  

I'm thinking reparenting might involve working through some layout 
issues, but would probably work.

Alex, I assume you mean I should use popupmanager to popup a new 
instance of the component and set its location to be on top of first 
instance?  What if I want to set focus to an arbitrary box that 
contains several components - i.e. something arbitrary that I can't 
create a new instance of?

Is there some way to make a popup display an existing displayobject 
that I'm not aware of?

Thanks again!

[flexcoders] Re: Dispatching Event Question?

[iilsley]

Hi Paul ,

I'm not 100% sure about this but ..

How about ..

Application.application.addEventListener(..) ?

This should get caught if the Event bubbles ( bubbles = true )  .. If
not then you can
specify a specific listener and then re-dispatch the event with bubbles
= true ..

eg:

function  catchEvent(e:Event)
{
var myE:Event = new Event(e,true);
dispatch(myE);
}

RE: [flexcoders] Issues with Datagrid non repeatinh HTTPService XML Result.

[Tracy Spratt]

I think you will be happy with HTTPService.

 

Specify resultFormat="e4x" in the HTTPService tag, otherwise flex
converts the xml into an nested mx:Object structure.  I find e4x XML
much easier to work with.

 

Don't bind directly to lastResult. It is too hard to debug. Instead use
a result handler, and set an instance variable value(XMLListCollection)
to event.result.STAFFREC in that, and bind the DataGrid dp to the
instance variable.  In the handler, you can trace the instance
variable.toXMLString() to see exactly what yo have, and how to set the
DataGridColumn dataField or labelFunction.

 

I've written sample code tor this so many times I don't want to do it
again right now, but post if you need more detail.

You can use the data property, which is normally used in combination
with item renderers or item editors, but nothing says you can't 
use it for something else ;-)

import mx.controls.Button;

private function appInit():void {
var offset:Number = 0;
for (var i:Number=0; i<10; i++) {
var b:Button = new Button();
b.data = {btnIndex:i};
b.y = offset;
b.label = "click me";
b.toolTip = "button "+i;
b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);
addChild(b);
offset+=20;
}
}

private function buttonClickHandler(evt:Event):void {
trace("index: "+evt.currentTarget.data.btnIndex);
}

I'm creating a number of buttons programmatically and I'd like to have
a unique value passed along to a function when each one is clicked.

So if I am doing something like:

for (i=0;i<10;i++) {
b = new Button();
b.y = offset;
b.label = "click me";
b.tooltip = "button "+i;
b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, butSelect);
addChild(b);
offset+=20;
}

And I want to have, let's say, "i" passed along to the "butSelect"
function, how is that done? I humored myself and tried doing
butSelect(i) but of course the mouseEvent is passed and you're not
allowed to provide any parameters to the function.

Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Programmatically create MovieClip frames?

[Merrill, Jason]

In the case where users would create their own animations on a web site,
injecting frames at runtime with content dynamically into a .swf would
not be the way to do it.  You would want to control the animation with
Actionscript.  Adding that ability to the player would add unecessary
overhead while not solving any real-world problem.  
 
Even on collaborative projects, where would the animation content live
that would be injected? On collaborative projects, each animator can
create their own .swfs and then a programmer loads them all in where
they like into a central .swf.
 
You had asked for someone to create a Flash 9 .swf for you with some
blank frames, but I don't see what that would solve since you would
still need to inject the content of the animation.  Sorry, still just
trying to understand why this would be useful...  I think this disussion
has been a good mental excercise at least.  :)

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Programmatically create MovieClip
frames?



Thanks Jason, Troy, and Paul, for all your help/feedback.

Jason, I can't think of a use case for adding frames to a
MovieClip either. Unless of course, 
you wanted to have animations that you could control with AS3,
but didn't have access to 
the Flash CS3 preview. Though, now that I think about it, it
seems like there are some 
interesting possibilities for dynamically generated animations.

Imagine a 'community' site that invited users to create their
own animated avatars... or a 
video game in which the player designs his or her own
character... or collaborative 
animation project in which different artists are creating
different parts, maybe even 
individual frames of an animated sequence... or where a lead
animator is creating the key 
frames, and 'tweeners' are creating the in between frames... you
could even track and 
control this CVS-like, without having to pass around/merge FLAs.

Maybe these are pretty abstract, I know... I thought of them
just now.

The point is, I personally don't WANT to add frames to a
MovieClip. But I don't have access 
to the Flash CS3 preview, and so I was wondering if it was
possible to generate AS3/AVM2 
MovieClips, in some other way. MovieClip.appendFrame() seems
like it'd be easier than 
the method Troy describes of creating a custom AnimatedSprite
class, which will 
eventually have all or most of the methods of a MovieClip... at
least, the timeline control 
methods.

Basically, if I were having this problem 20 days from now... I
wouldn't be having this 
problem. You're right, I'd just make the MovieClips in Flash
CS3, export the library into a 
SWC, and use them from there in my Flex app as I wanted. That
would definately be the 
easiest way.

Luckily, I foresaw this problem pretty early on in the project,
so I have plenty of time to 
work on other things while I figure out the best way to handle
this... maybe the other 
things will even take me until the end of April and I won't have
this problem at all. In 
anycase, I appreciate all your help, and offers to help. If it
turns out that I need someone 
to make me a SWF with a few blank frames somewhere down the
line, I'll definately be 
hitting one of you guys up for that.

Other than that, I think we can call this discussion closed.
Unless someone has more 
information about it. Although, and maybe this is a seperate
post/question in itself, I 
thought I once heard about being able to control/communicate
with AVM1Movies once the 
new version of Flash came out... I guess that's not happening?

NO DYNAMICALLY ADDING FRAMES TO MOVIE CLIPS!! Got it.

[flexcoders] Re: List dragMoveEnabled problem?

[jasondrubenstein]

and, if I write code to convert the XML to an ArrayCollection, and
bind to the new ArrayCollections, everything works fine. 

So it seems the problem is when I'm binding to XMLListCollection. 
Binding to an ArrayCollection is behaving as expected. 

This is a workaround, but there shouldn't be a problem when using
XMLListCollections, I'm guessing?

RE: [flexcoders] Getting the RichTextEditor to do some dancing in a database...> to XML file

Consider simply using escape() to encode the htmlText on the way into

Subject: [flexcoders] Getting the RichTextEditor to do some dancing in a
database...> to XML file

 

Hi Guys, I want to add a comments area to the gallery/blog I'm
building, and I'd like to be able to offer users an RTE interface,
with the resultant html text to be properly displayed when later
retrieved. This, in my case, will most likely be a 2-part affair. The
user will enter a comment into a text area as provided by the RTE, and
that data will be dumped into a sql/mysql db, and I will run a CF
script that passes me back (i.e., creates when invoked by the
administrator - me) an xml file that I can use HTTPService to load in
the data into a TextArea...I think...I'm still learning.

My core question today, if I'm even on the right track, is...how do I
populate the db, and get it back into the xml file, in the sense that
I think I'd need to wrap the users' input around CDATA areas within
the generated xml (that's my guess)?

In other words, how do I populate the database, not with "hi there,
nice pic", but instead with "hi there,nice pic!!!" and
pass THAT into the generated xml file, andback out to a TextArea
component?

I do have an XML generating file in CF that someone got me started on,
to read values in the db and pass me back a proper xml file (and it
works like a charm so far!), but it's pretty simple at this stage. I
can't even show it because my server is in for configuration with Win
Server2003SBS...and all my files are on it...

If my approach doesn't make sense, let me say, I'm doing most of the
db work as the owner (creating and updating galleries, images, photo
data etc.), and spitting out xml files for the client to upload, to
minimize actual client db access (and, I believe, reduce wear and tear
on my equipment, i.e., spitting out XML files seems less intensive on
my machine than having users constantly accessing the same
db...caching issues being a problem I'll deal with when I get to
them). But this is one of the cases where I DO seem to need to allow a
user access to the db itself - to enter a blog/comment.

Any guidance would be appreciated. I know part of the answer is:
you're doing it wrong, use a CRUD CFC and shove it somewhere offsite
so you can validate it yourself before allowing it onto the site, but
I haven't been able to figure those things out yet...and if anyone
would be willing to teach me that (Build a CRUD CFC and get it
working, all 4 operations, in Flex), just for demonstration purposes,
I'd be willing to pay for it, because I really need to learn this
stuff for my gallery (I'm a photographer/designer, not yet a developer).

Re: [flexcoders] How do I read Response after FileReference uploads a file?

[Paul J DeCoursey]

I did something similar.  Before the upload I get a token, I pass that 
token on the querystring of the upload.  Once complete I use that token 
to get info about the upload.  I also use this token for authentication 
purposes.  We have had a lot of trouble with file uploads not sharing 
sessions with all of the other requests in the app.  Another advantage 
to the token is we have a queue of files that the user is uploading from 
in the app.  With the token we don't have to retrieve the response data 
right away, or it can be ignored altogether.  We also expire the tokens 
after a certain period of time because we do use them for auth as well.  
Anyway, it's probably overkill for your project, but I thought I'd share.

Re: [flexcoders] VBox, constraint based layout not clipping content

The trick I just used for this is to set maxHeight on the 'scrolling'

I'm adding up to 50 child objects to the vbox and want the scrollbars

If i set the height, and width everything works as expected, so i've
manually tapped into the resize event on my parent canvas and manually
set the height and width to get the effect of a constraint based
layout. Doesn't seem like i should have to do this.

If i used the top,left,right,bottom properties, my VBox just expands
its size to include all child objects added... which then forces the
scroll bars on it's parent container, not what i want.

I like what they've done here:

however, I really don't want to add a J2EE App Server to what I have 
to support. The fewer things I have to keep running, the better. I'm 
already using PHP, MySQL, and WebORB, not that they are difficult, 
but the more you add, the bigger the chance for problems.

I've hired a guy to help me write a PHP spelling function, but the 
html stuff really makes it quite slow. He's got it stripping out the 
html quite nicely, my biggest issue is the speed. Tags inside words 
is a whole other problem that I don't have an answer for.

I really want to provide the functionality of the RichTextEditor to 
my users, but what good are these things if you can't easily check 
the spelling? It'd be ideal if Flex 3 included a robust spell 
checking capability. It would seem to fit the overall theme of RIA's. 
What good is a Word Processing app, for example, if you have to 
create a bunch of less than ideal processes to check spelling?

Getting down off the soap box, I have to find an effective way of 
doing this. I still want to send it to PHP because I can get a more 
robust spell check, but I believe that I need to handle the html text 
manipulation in Flex, to make it fast, and only send PHP a single 
word at a time.

[flexcoders] Re: Dispatching Event Question?

[paulwelling]

Hello Roman,

I am trying to avoid spec'ing who will do the dispatching and just
have my component listen for the event no matter who dispatches it.

Any ideas?

The A.addEventListener(..) seems to couple more than I want...

Thanks,
Paul

Holy hell, thanks Geoffrey. When was this added? With the initial

Thanks again,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Make a component 'modal'

[Doug McCune]

another option would be to remove the component from the displaylist, swap
in a spacer component that was the same size, then use the PopUpManager to
redisplay your component, place it in the exact pixel location it was before
and make it a modal popup. Then when you want to give focus back to the
entire app you swap it back into the displaylist of whatever container it
was originally in. Not sure how well this would work, but in theory if you
calculate the pixel values exactly, the user might not notice anything's
happening.

Re: [flexcoders] Dispatching Event Question?

[Roman Protsiuk]

When you are adding an event listener the only thing that tells who is to
dispatch the event is who's addEventListener() is called. I mean if you are
calling addEventListener(...) this means that you are listening to 'this'
that will dispatch the event. If a.addEventListener(...) then 'a' will
dispatch it.

What you need is smth like:
instanceOfA.addEventListener("myEvent", myBListenerFunc);
inside of the B instance.

I have two custom components, A and B created at the Application level.

I want to send a custom event from A to B.

Inside of B creationComplete, I have addEventListener("myEvent",
myBListenerFunc);

Inside of A, on a button click, I dispatchEvent(new Event("myEvent"))

Obviously I would like the function on B, myBListenerFunc() to be

I'm sure I can do this without having to tell B that A is the

[flexcoders] Aligning LineCharts in a VBox

[mr19]

I have two LineCharts in a VBox using the same data for the horizontalAxis.  
I would like the horizontal axis ticks on the two charts to line up.  I have
been unable to do this due to the vertical axis labels being of different
length and the top chart using a secondVerticalAxis.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I've tried using the width
attributes without any luck.

99% of what you want to do can be accomplished, the only thing that i see is
the blur effect that you want. I am sure it can be done, but it will not be
an easy task.

If most of what the user has to do is entering data into forms you can use
the built in validators to 'highlight' invalid entries.

An example usage would be to make sure the user completes an
operation before navigating somewhere else or performing a
conflicting action. Also, it would focus the user on what portion of
the screen is relevant at the moment.

you can't... file reference does not return the response... (yes I know

custom control every time I want this effect.  Instead, I want to 
apply an effect to an existing control (that could be any control).

An example usage would be to make sure the user completes an 
operation before navigating somewhere else or performing a 
conflicting action.  Also, it would focus the user on what portion of 
the screen is relevant at the moment.

[flexcoders] Dispatching Event Question?

[paulwelling]

Hello,

Question on disipatching events that I hope someone can clear up...

I have two custom components, A and B created at the Application level.

I want to send a custom event from A to B.

Inside of B creationComplete, I have addEventListener("myEvent",
myBListenerFunc);

Inside of A, on a button click, I  dispatchEvent(new Event("myEvent")) 

Obviously I would like the function on B, myBListenerFunc() to be
called, but is not.

I'm sure I can do this without having to tell B that A is the
dispatcher (in B, A.addEventListner("myEvent",myBListnerFunc);)

Thanks,
Paul

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Make a component 'modal'

[Merrill, Jason]

I don't know as much about Flex architecture yet - just the basics, but
I know in Flash 8 the PopupWindow component, when not enabled, is
completely modal.  I used that a lot for achieving modal windows.  Don't
know if that helps any in this case... I know you're looking to make
your own component model - perhaps you could extend a Flex modal
component like the PopupWindow?

Re: [flexcoders] Warning/Error Hints

[André Rodrigues Pena]

I was thinking of something like the "found new hardware" or "low disk
space" balloons of Windows XP. But thinking twice, they are no
necessary. I can use validators (as you said) and disable all
functionalities I don't want users to use in some states.. That
decreases the need of interaction and the use of the boring
Alert.show() method.

Thanks! :)

Re: [flexcoders] Make a component 'modal'

[Clint Tredway]

without seeing how you setup your code, here is my suggestion.

Set the parent containers of the other 'components' enabled attribute to a
bindable var or even a state, and then when that specific button is clicked,
set the var to false or in the case of using states, just change the state.
Either way, that should accomplish what you are describing.

Clint

Yeah, I've always seen the web-tier compiler as a hang over from the Flex 1

Create an actionscript class that extends CheckBox, put your custom
code in there, and then create instances of that class instead of
programatically setting up checkboxes.
