[flexcoders] Re: Tree collapses when dataProvider for tree changes
Hi,
Thanks for suggestion. But dataProvider has to be changed,
accordingly tree changes.
Considering XML as tree of nodes, I am retrieving that particular
node when dataProvider changes on the basis of id attribute . Each
node is going to have unique value for id atribute in XML String. By
this way i gets a XML object.
That XML object is used for expandItem() method or for selectedItem
attribute.
Thanks Regards,
Baljeet

If you change the XML enough, the set of nodes, even if they look the
same, may have new UIDs and thus the set of open items and calls to
expandItem may not work.
Also note that if you bind to the XMLListCollection, you risk changes
to
the collection causing the collection to be re-assigned and thus flush
the open items list.
Thus:
[Bindable[
var xmlc:XMLListCollection;
mx:Tree id=foo dataProvider={xmlc} /
may end up resetting the dataProvider as you modify xmlc.
var xmlc:XMLListCollection
mx:Tree id=foo initialize=foo.dataProvider=xmlc /
Will not reset as it is not watching the collection for bindable
changes. Similarly, if you assign the dataProvider on the result of
the
server fetch, you'll be safer that way too.

Hi,
Actually, i am using XML string, that is coming from server side.
From that XML string, i get the XMLListCollection as dataProvider.
When i click on selected node, either i am editing th information
related to node or creating children. This edited/children information
is stored in database.
So, dataProvider changes(it's required). Tree is
created on the basis of id attribute of each XML node . When
dataProvider changes, i again retrieve that node on basis of id
attribute. Then i tried to use expandItem() method, selectedItem etc,
providing the retrieved node. But it's not working.

[flexcoders] Selected Text Color for Accordion

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Tree collapses when dataProvider for tree changes
You said that last time, and I still don't know what it means to change
on the basis of an id attribute.
I am recommending you not use {} to assign the dataprovider if possible.
If you are changing the xml, you may need to cal validateNow before
calling expandItem.

Hi,
I'm working on an AIR application that has to load a lot of pictures
from a users harddrive. I have to be able to load about 120 photos (of
3MB each), open them, resize it, save it in memory and cache a resized
photo to disk. So i created a manager which has an internal queueing
system that loads the photos one by one and doing the operations
before continueing on to the next photo. The most processor time goes
into loading the photos from disk into memory, which is a asynchronous
job, so the GUI has plenty of time to update and keep track with a
simple loading bar.
Now the calls to load the next photo uses
'Application.application.callLater(loadPhoto)', on a Windows machine
this is no problem at all, and it loads 120photos easily (i've tested
it with up to 500). Now if you change that sencentence to
'setTimeOut(loadPhoto, 500)', then it suddenly stops working. It loads
up to 70photos and then sais 'Invalid bitmapdata'. This is probably
because the garbage collector is too slow and can't free the memory in
time, resulting in memory allocation errors.
When i'm running the same thing on a MacBook Pro (which is faster then
my windows laptop, and has twice the amount of RAM), then suddenly
both scenarios don't work and i can only load up to 17 photos. The RAM
Climbing very fast up to 500megs and crashes...
The solution would be to force the garbage collector to free the
memory between each load, but there is as far as i know no such
functionality in flex. I have found a little hack that forces the
garbage collection to free the memory by creating multiple
LocalConnections with the same name (and catching the exception it
throws). Using that hack everything works fine on both the windows
laptop and the MacBook.
This is the garbage collection hack:
private function gcHack():void
{
// unsupported hack that seems to force a full GC
try
{
var lc1:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
var lc2:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
lc1.connect('name');
lc2.connect('name');
}
catch (e:Error)
{
}
}
This is offcourse not the solution we'd like to go into production
with. Is there a better solution, what is the 'official' way to do
such things?

[flexcoders] Re: Tree collapses when dataProvider for tree changes
Hi, Lets consider an XML as tree of nodes. Let me explain u the meaning of id. My sample XML string look like: node!--First Level -- node id=1 name=A code=1!--Second Level -- node id=2 name=A-1 code=1-1/ !--Third Level -- node id=3 name=A-2 code=1-2 node id=4 name=A-2-1 code=1-2-1/ !-- Fourth Level-- node id=5 name=A-2-2 code=1-2-2/. . /node /node !-- So on--- /node Here my each XML node has unique Id attribute. Now suppose I create a tree with this XML i click on any node. For the selected node, say node with id=5, i can find out the value of id attribute of selected node save this in session object. Means now i have idea about which node i selected. Now suppose , i create two children for selected node i.e for node with id=5. So my XML changes somewhat like below: node!--First Level -- node id=1 name=A code=1!--Second Level -- node id=2 name=A-1 code=1-1/ !--Third Level -- node id=3 name=A-2 code=1-2 node id=4 name=A-2-1 code=1-2-1/ !-- Fourth Level-- node id=5 name=A-2-2 code=1-2-2/. node id=100 name=A-2-2-1 code=1-2-2-1/ !-- Level 5th--- node id=101 name=A-2-2-2 code=1-2-2-2/. /node /node !-- So on--- /node So my dataProvider changes tree gets collapsed. As we have already stored the id attribte value of selected node in session. Now we can iterate over XMLListCollection to find the XML node with that particular id value. Now i use expandItem() method selectedItem property, providing selected node. But none of these things works. Thanks Regards, Baljeet

On successful response from server I change the model which is data provider for the tree. 3. Then, set a flag which triggers 'invalidateDisplayList' and 'invalidateList' for tree (and other listeners). 4. The tree refreshes fine. But as soon as I drag and drop between trees again, I get this error in Tree.as: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at mx.controls::Tree/::updateDropData() at mx.controls::Tree/calculateDropIndex() at mx.controls.listClasses::ListBase/showDropFeedback() at mx.controls::Tree/showDropFeedback() The behaviour is weird, sometimes the browser hangs and stops responding. I am calling 'contentTree.showDropFeedback(event)' in my dragOver event listener which is triggering error. My tree data provider is a custom class which has 'children' array collection attribute. Any help on how to resolve this issue would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Sujatha
[flexcoders] Re: Disable scrolling via mouse wheel
no luck.. heres what i did..
public function wheelStop():void{
myTextArea.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL,
mouseWheelHandler);
}
public function mouseWheelHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
event.stopImmediatePropagation();
}
and I called wheelStop() in the creationComplete function and also
tried it in mouseWheel scroll in the TextArea, none worked..
also tried myTextArea.addEventListener(ScrollEvent.SCROLL,
mouseScrollHandler);
public function mouseWheelHandler(event:ScrollEvent):void{
event.stopImmediatePropagation();
}

Subject: [flexcoders] Disable scrolling via mouse wheel
Here's my situation.
I have a TextArea that is filled with text(more text than can be
displayed). I have the scroll bars removed so that you can not
scroll
with them, but you can still scroll with the mouse wheel. How can I
disable this? I've tried a number of things but nothing seems to be
working.
I'm thinking I need an event listener, and a function needs to be
performed on ScrollEvent.SCROLL, but what would it be? TextArea
doesn't
have scrollPosition, so I can't do myTextArea.scrollPosition = 0;
or
whatever it would be.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jayson
[flexcoders] Data binding not displaying anything on subesquent visits to screen
I could really do with some help on this one.
I have a screen (State) in my application that displays some custom mxml
components using a repeater. The first time I come to this screen, all the
data appears correctly. However if I navigate away from this screen to
another screen (State), then return to it, all that appears is a scroll bar,
with no custom components appearing.
I would appreciate if anyone can take a peek at my code below to try and
identify the problem. Perhaps this is a problem others have experienced?
The relevant code is as follows:
mx:State name=ComponentFolderScreen basedOn=QualificationSummaryScreen
mx:RemoveChild target={qualificationSummaryScreenDG}/
mx:AddChild relativeTo={vbox1} position=lastChild
mx:Tile autoLayout=true width=740 height=230
id=tile1 borderStyle=none
mx:Repeater id=productsRepeater
dataProvider={this.category1}
local:ComFolderItem
mouseOver=CFSMouseOver_Folder(event) click=CFSClick_Folder(event)
studentName='{productsRepeater.currentItem.productName + ( +
productsRepeater.currentItem.productPrice + )}'
componentStatus='{productsRepeater.currentItem.componentStatus}'
/local:ComFolderItem
/mx:Repeater
/mx:Tile
/mx:AddChild
/mx:State
And here is the code that populates the ArrayCollection that is the
dataprovider
var ComponentFolderData:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
ComponentFolderData = _dataManager.returnComponentFolderData(componentCode);
var howManyObjects:uint = ComponentFolderData.length;
var objectInstance:Object = new Object();
category1 = new ArrayCollection();
for (var objectIndex:uint = 0; objectIndex howManyObjects; objectIndex++)
{
objectInstance.productName =
ComponentFolderData.getItemAt(objectIndex).productName;
objectInstance.componentStatus =
ComponentFolderData.getItemAt(objectIndex).componentStatus;
category1.addItem(objectInstance);

RE: [flexcoders] ResourceBundle - Problem with ActionScript code
So, rather than methods like getString() on ResourceBundle, you use

Re: [flexcoders] Re: NEW FLEX WEBSITE: ManureMail.com
Randy, I second that sentiment! Flex kicks ass! I am still struggling with the 100% Flex site structure. Will it be too much out of the gate? Will users get turned off everytime they see a site using flash/flex, because so many developers are going to use it when there was no need for it? These are the unknowns. I think your site is a good example of having a Full Flex solution. Little site content, lots of data centric needs (eCommerce). Oh, the struggles of a web application developer.

My Custom Class extending a UIComponent embeds an external SWF File, which gives me the ability to wrap it with code. This way I can control the SWF and all the MovieClips it contains, programmatically. Basically, upon the initial Load of the UIComponent, it exceeds the size of the TitleWindow - and instead of the TitleWindow Container masking off the extents of the UIComponent, it literally lets the entire SWF File show through.

[flexcoders] DataGrid Scrolling Weirdness
Hi y'all,
I'm having a problem with my DataGrid. I'm using a custom component
as an ItemRenderer in one of the cells. It generates two buttons.
The buttons are colored differently depending on the data. It looks
like this:
mx:HBox xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
creationComplete=colorizeIt();
mx:Script
![CDATA[
public function colorizeIt():void {
if (data.remarks == FIRST BAG) {
first.setStyle(color,yellow);
last.setStyle(color,white);
} else {
first.setStyle(color,white);
last.setStyle(color,yellow);
}
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Button fontSize=12 label=FIRST id=first /
mx:Button fontSize=12 label=LAST id=last /
/mx:HBox
This works when the grid is displayed. However, when I scroll
through the data grid, the colors of the buttons are changed, seeming
randomly. I scroll down, then back up, and the colors have swapped.
Another scroll through and back up, and some have returned to their
proper color, some have not.
Any ideas as to what's going on here, and is this correctable?
Thanks!

[flexcoders] Multiple Drag and Drop handlers
Hi coders, I'm trying to implement multiple dragdrop components in the same view, each with a different drop container. The problem is that every container have an dropHandler, and when I'm dragging the first component over the second component's container the drop action is enabled. Of course I can validate this, but I want the red x in the mouse cursor not to dissapear when the component is not on top of it's container. Does anyone know how to do this? DaN

Yes, there is: the free Flex SDK includes fdb, a fully functional command-line debugger. The command set of fdb is modeled after that of gdb, so if you have used gdb, its commands will be familiar. For basic instructions, run fdb, then type help at the prompt. - Mike Morearty Flex Builder team

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Problem with Content spilling over beyond it's container's bounds
Given Alex's point, that SWF size can change dynamically, getting your
measure/updateDisplayList functionality right might be difficult.
An easy solution, in my mind, would be:
1) Set the width/height of your custom class to 100%, so it fills
your title window (or do whatever you want to give it a size...but if
you don't give it a size, and don't implement measure(), it will default
to 0x0).
2) In your createChildren() function of your custom component,
create a shape, addChild it, draw a rectangle into it, and add it as a
mask:
override protected function createChildren():void
{
var tmp:Shape = new Shape();
tmp.beginFill(0);
tmp.drawRect(0,0,10,10);
tmp.endFill();
addChild(tmp);
mask = tmp;
}
3) In your updateDisplayList(), set the width/height of your mask
to match your unscaled width/height:
override protected function updateDisplayList(...):void
{
mask.width = unscaledWidth;
mask.height = unscaledHeight;
}
Now you don't need to rely on the masking capabilities of
TitleWindow...your custom component self-masks.
Ely.

[flexcoders] DataGrid Speed
Hi, I have an app where it uses a datagrid to display screen data. The grid is 25 columns wide with 3 columns of comboboxes, 5 columns of checkboxes and the rest are textinputs. The number of rows varies, but can be as high as 40. What I'm seeing is that after all the server results have been processed and the data for the comboboxes (including data providers), checkboxes, etc has been passed to the data grid, the app just spins for up to 30 secs. The app code I wrote isn't doing anything specific during that time. It is just waiting for the next user event to happen. So it seems like it is the flex stuff working to maybe redraw the screen/datagrid. During this time, my processor generally pegs. Is there someway to speed up this internal processing? Or control it? I've tried reducing the number of rows displayed and that helps, but I really want to be able to display all rows at once without the 20-30sec penalty. Thanks, John

RE: [flexcoders] How do I get a property from a custom component?
Yes, the evt_obj target or currentTarget has a reference to the custom

I also advise passing in the entire item. It cleans up the code and provides
flexibility when you decide you need some other bit of item data in the
component or in the handler.
See below.

Goal: Display a list of items using a complex display for each item, and have
each of those items behave like a menu element and respond to a click anywhere

function.

--
MyRepeaterItem xmlItem={rp.currentItem}

And in the component, MyRepeaterItem.mxml:

mx:HBox mouseChildren=false buttonMode=true click=onClick(event)
!-- The metadata tag below allows us to define an itemClick handler in mxml,

Re: [flexcoders] DataGrid Speed
John - I am guessing that it is the large number of complex controls (particularly combo box) you are using as renderers that is slowing you down. I had a similar situation and had to change my app such that the data rendered for combo boxes and text inputs is rendered using mx:Label or mx:Text until a user clicks on the cell... then the combo box or text input shows up (itemEditor) to allow the edit. This coupled with parsing my data into ActionScript objects and storing them in ArrayCollections and using those as grid data providers (rather than binding directly to e4x) made performance acceptable for me. hth Scott j_lentzz wrote: Hi, I have an app where it uses a datagrid to display screen data.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Tree collapses when dataProvider for tree changes
A few things to consider. 1) How are you adding nodes?. If you use XML as the dataProvider and use the XML API to add the nodes, the tree will not collapse. 2) After you programatically change a dataProvider, you need to use callLater to defer any interaction with the Tree control, to allow it to render first. 3) If you use XML as the tree dataProvider, you can use e4x expressions to find the node by its Id property, rather then iterating recursively over the collection.

getMembers();
itemNum=Application.application.parameters.itemNum;
submittedby=Application.application.parameters.submittedby;
getWorksfor();
fetchPO();

RE: [flexcoders] Best DataProvider for Combo Box
Array is fine if you do not plan to programatically update parts of the
data. If you do, use ArrayCollection, because its API dispatches the
events necessary to sync the visual control with the changed data.
There is no problem calling multiple functions.
However, remember that all the RPC data service calls are asynchronous.
You must use a result handler to access the result data. So the
functions you call immediately after the data service call can not
access the data of that call.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: DataGrid Speed
John - I had four columns that were displaying mx:List and 3 that were displaying mx:ComboBox, additionally I was binding directly to e4x and generating labels on the fly (labelFunction). My client likes 1600x1200 and small fonts, so I had quite a few rows on the screen. Rendering was taking between 15-30 seconds. I removed the mx:List displays and instead added String member variables to my AS objects that were formatted with \n between items then added get xyzList():String methods that the data grid then called for that column (returning the pre-formatted string). As I mentioned I also just used mx:Label as the renderer for the combo boxes and the couple of columns that were Text inputs. Additionally I removed all labelFunctions opting instead to pre-define label attributes in my AS objects (like the xyzList attribute mentioned above). After making all of these changes I was able to get redraws down to the 2-3 second range for a full scale data update... the good news is that I don't need to do a full scale update very often :) In my case, pretty much every column is editable, so I did not need to add an editable indicator although that is a great question. Seems you could easily create a EditableField custom renderer that has some type of indicator in addition to your Label or Text component. Just a thought... hth Scott j_lentzz wrote: I was wondering about using labels and text as renderers and then making the editor the combobox. I'm already using ArrayCollections for providers.

My sample XML string look like: node!--First Level -- node id=1 name=A code=1!--Second Level -- node id=2 name=A-1 code=1-1/ !--Third Level -- node id=3 name=A-2 code=1-2 node id=4 name=A-2-1 code=1-2-1/ !-- Fourth Level-- node id=5 name=A-2-2 code=1-2-2/. . /node /node !-- So on--- /node Here my each XML node has unique Id attribute. Now suppose I create a tree with this XML i click on any node. For the selected node, say node with id=5, i can find out the value of id attribute of selected node save this in session object. Means now i have idea about which node i selected. Now suppose , i create two children for selected node i.e for node with id=5. So my XML changes somewhat like below: node!--First Level -- node id=1 name=A code=1!--Second Level -- node id=2 name=A-1 code=1-1/ !--Third Level -- node id=3 name=A-2 code=1-2 node id=4 name=A-2-1 code=1-2-1/ !-- Fourth Level-- node id=5 name=A-2-2 code=1-2-2/. node id=100 name=A-2-2-1 code=1-2-2-1/ !-- Level 5th--- node id=101 name=A-2-2-2 code=1-2-2-2/. /node /node !-- So on--- /node So my dataProvider changes tree gets collapsed. As we have already stored the id attribte value of selected node in session. Now we can iterate over XMLListCollection to find the XML node with that particular id value. Now i use expandItem() method selectedItem property, providing selected node. But none of these things works. Thanks Regards, Baljeet
RE: [flexcoders] How to update UI during long operations
You need to break the operation up into parts which is fairly straight forward if you process is/has a loop. Create an iterator function that processes a set number of items in the loop, starting from the value you keep in an instance variable. At the end of that function, update the instance variable with the ending index, then use callLater() to call another function. Have that function do any screen updates then call the iterator again if the index flag is less than the length of the loop. callLater() will let the UI update.

Are you sure onResult is getting called? If so, trace out
dg2data.toXMLString() to make sure you have what you expect. You should
see readable xml.
Make sure name is a first generation child node name in the item

This coupled with parsing my data into ActionScript objects and storing them in ArrayCollections and using those as grid data providers (rather than binding directly to e4x) made performance acceptable for me. hth Scott j_lentzz wrote: Hi, I have an app where it uses a datagrid to display screen data. The grid is 25 columns wide with 3 columns of comboboxes, 5 columns of checkboxes and the rest are textinputs. The number of rows varies, but can be as high as 40. What I'm seeing is that after all the server results have been processed and the data for the comboboxes (including data providers), checkboxes, etc has been passed to the data grid, the app just spins for up to 30 secs. The app code I wrote isn't doing anything specific during that time. It is just waiting for the next user event to happen. So it seems like it is the flex stuff working to maybe redraw the screen/datagrid. During this time, my processor generally pegs. Is there someway to speed up this internal processing? Or control it? I've tried reducing the number of rows displayed and that helps, but I really want to be able to display all rows at once without the 20-30sec penalty. Thanks, John

Hi y'all,
I'm having a problem with my DataGrid. I'm using a custom component
as an ItemRenderer in one of the cells. It generates two buttons.
The buttons are colored differently depending on the data. It looks
like this:
mx:HBox xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
creationComplete=colorizeIt();
mx:Script
![CDATA[
public function colorizeIt():void {
if (data.remarks == FIRST BAG) {
first.setStyle(color,yellow);
last.setStyle(color,white);
} else {
first.setStyle(color,white);
last.setStyle(color,yellow);
}
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Button fontSize=12 label=FIRST id=first /
mx:Button fontSize=12 label=LAST id=last /
/mx:HBox
This works when the grid is displayed. However, when I scroll
through the data grid, the colors of the buttons are changed, seeming
randomly. I scroll down, then back up, and the colors have swapped.
Another scroll through and back up, and some have returned to their
proper color, some have not.
Any ideas as to what's going on here, and is this correctable?

I've written a Makefile that compcs changed packages into .SWC files. Then it mxmlcs all the .SWC files and Main.AS into a final .SWF. It runs fine but doesn't really seem to be faster than just mxmlcing all the .AS files at the same time. Based on my understanding of the Gary Grossman slide show: .ABC files should be easier to build from than .SWC files. Looking around I found information on how I should be able to compile all my classes down to .ABC files with asc. I found asc.jar and wrote a wrapper for it; unfortunately, it can't do anything without a file listing all the interfaces. I think the interfaces file should be called global.as but I couldn't find it on my machine. Is there a way to extract something like global.as from the files that ship with flex? Am I wasting my time (will .ABC files not offer me any improvement)? thank you, David Tudury
[flexcoders] custom component as item renderer
hi.
i'm following aral balkan's tutorial on using item renderers:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/using_item_renderers/
i'm trying to implement a custom component as my item renderer and i'm going
thru the tute and i'm still getting the following error:
Definition ImageRenderer could not be found.
I thought that assigning the name of the component (it resides in the same
directory) to the 'itemRenderer' property of my List component would be fine.
Here's my List:
!-- scrollable list of materials --
mx:List
id=materialsList
width=120
height=300
dataProvider={test.availableMaterials}
itemRenderer=ImageRenderer // this is line throwing the error.
rowHeight=100
verticalAlign=middle
/mx:List
and here's my custom component that i'm trying to use as an item renderer
(ImageRenderer.mxml):
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Canvas xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; width=200 height=200
mx:Component
mx:Image source={data.browseLinkURL}/
/mx:Component
/mx:Canvas
What might I be missing? any tips are appreciated. thank you. -- matt.

RE: [SPAM] RE: [flexcoders] How do I get a property from a custom component?
Thanks yet again Tracy for helping me along on my steep learning curve with
this Flex malarkey.

Yes, the evt_obj target or currentTarget has a reference to the custom
component. Have a getter function in the component return the name.
I also advise passing in the entire item. It cleans up the code and provides
flexibility when you decide you need some other bit of item data in the
component or in the handler.
See below.
Tracy
Goal: Display a list of items using a complex display for each item, and
have each of those items behave like a menu element and respond to a click
anywhere on the item by running a handler function.
One solution is to use a Repeater with a custom component
In the main app or component, declare the Repeater, and the click handler
function.
mx:Application ...
mx:Script![CDATA[
import MyRepeaterItem;
...
private function onRPItemClick(oEvent:Event):void
{
var xmlItem:XML = XML(oEvent.target);
}//onRPItemClick
]]/mx:Script
mx:VBox ...
mx:Repeater id=rp dataProvider={_xmlData} ...
!-- Note we pass in the entire currentItem, and define a click handler --
MyRepeaterItem xmlItem={rp.currentItem} itemClick=onRPItemClick(event)
.../
/mx:Repeater
/mx:VBox
/mx:Application
And in the component, MyRepeaterItem.mxml:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:HBox mouseChildren=false buttonMode=true click=onClick(event)
!-- The metadata tag below allows us to define an itemClick handler in
mxml, as in the code above --
mx:Metadata
[Event(name=itemClick, type=flash.events.Event)]
/mx:Metadata
mx:Script![CDATA[
[Bindable]private var _xmlItem:XML;
/** Setter function */
public function set xmlItem(xml:XML):void
{
_xmlItem = xml;
//do any special, non-bound ui stuff you want
}//set xmlItem
/** Getter function */
public function get xmlItem():XML
{
return _xmlItem;
}//get xmlItem
/** Outer VBox Click handler function */
private function onClick():void
{
dispatchEvent(new Event(itemClick,false); //we do not need/want this event
to bubble
}//onClick
]]/mx:Script
!-- Now declare the Item UI --
mx:Text id=lbDescription text=[EMAIL PROTECTED] width=100%
height=100% /
/mx:HBox

Subject: [flexcoders] How do I get a property from a custom component?
I have a repeated custom component as follows:
mx:Repeater id=productsRepeater dataProvider={this.category1}
local:ComFolderItem mouseOver=CFSMouseOver_Folder(event)
click=CFSClick_Folder(event)
studentName='{productsRepeater.currentItem.productName + ( +
productsRepeater.currentItem.productPrice + )}'
/local:ComFolderItem
/mx:Repeater
And I want to retrieve the studentName and productPrice when this component
is clicked on
private function CFSClick_Folder(evt_obj:Object):void {
var studentName:String = ??
}
Please can anyone tell me how I can get this value?
Thanks

Have you declared the default namespace in the root tag of the app?

[flexcoders] Flex Builder 2 plugin issue - no more red 'X'
Here's the issue: You all know that Flex Builder does dynamic syntax validation, and places a red 'X' in the left-hand gutter if there is an obvious problem. It is a handy feature, but mine has suddenly stopped working. I reinstalled eclipse / flex builder - and it still will not display the 'X'. btw ... Project Build Automatically is checked. Other developers in the group have experienced the same problem. Any hints?
[flexcoders] Re: Chart itemRenderers - how to get origional data values?
yep. that's it - incorrect namespace. but I've hit another problem...
performance on drawing it, esp compared to the origional version.
*really* noticable. I must be asking a lot from the framework to do
this, unless I'm not doing it the _best_ way?

[flexcoders] Service location and configuration
I may yet come back to the Cairngorm fold, but right now I'm looking at ServiceLocator alternatives, since that's the only piece of Cairngorm I'm using. How does that class work anyway? It's not obvious to me how the services in the Services.mxml file make their way into the dictionaries in HTTPServices etc. What am I missing? It seems really valuable to have global lookup of services by name and configuration in an (M)XML file. How do the rest of you do it? Anyone using Prana? Thanks.
