Er. bah?!? 

 

Any var foo:DataManager = new DataManager() - - > will fail. As a properly
constructed singleton it won't compile! The constructor takes an argument
that is restricted to the package! The implementation that I provide you
will require all treatment to follow DataManager.getInstance() in order to
access the class. which will give you ---only one instance of the class---
globally in your application. If you had dropped my code in place of yours -
any 'new' declarations would prevent your application from compiling. This
isn't to prevent 'funny guys' from futzing with you code. it will  - through
an established pattern enforce everyone to utilize your DataManager in
exactly the same way. Before hitting the reply button - drop the code in
that I sent and hit the compile button and see what it does. Remember to put
your data manager into its own package - to prevent anyone from having
access to the SingletonEnforcer.

It is not clear what you mean by "integrate"? You can host a Perl
script on a web server, run it as CGI or mod_perl, and use its output
for the result of a Flex remote service. From a Flex point of view, it
doesn't matter whether the server is running Perl, PHP, JSP, ASP, etc.
So which are you having trouble with: getting Perl to run on your web
server, or getting the service to work in Flex? If it's the former,
please post to a different list. If it's the latter, then what is your
specific question?

[flexcoders] Support for HP-UX?

[wayne_badu_johnson]

Hi

I'm wondering if anyone has deployed (or knows if it's possible) a
Flex application under JBOSS app server on HP-UX OS(assuming it's the
latest version of HP-UX)? 

Or does a wrapper/projector exist that could be deployed under HP-UX
to run standalone flex app (like AIR)? 

I have found flash player plugin support for Firefox/Mozilla on HP-UX
but haven't been able to confirm what version of flash player this is.
The preference would be a standalone app  but on HP-UX. It could even
run through a non-browser flash player and talk to JBOSS services.

I've been looking around without getting the definitive answers. 

Any ideas?

Thanks
Wayne

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Singletone class in Application and Modules !?

[Rick Winscot]

I just looked at your source. You forgot to control the scope! Your
implementation should be:

package
{
public class DataManager
{
private static var singleton_:DataManager = new
DataManager();

public function DataManager( enforcer:SingletonEnforcer ) {
}

public static function getInstance():DataManager {

if ( singleton_ == null )
singleton_ = new DataManager( new SingletonEnforcer );

return singleton_;
}   
}
}

class SingletonEnforcer{}


If you do this... it doesn't/won't matter where you instantiate it. There
can be only one - MUWUAHAHAHAA.

I figured out the case. I, actually, made first instance in another module

If you did it in one of modules, this and all others will get new instances.
Very easy to see when put trace("BLAH") in the constructor. PS. do not

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Get the Domain the Flex app is running in

[Rick Winscot]

Alex – I mentioned that the url would be to the .swf file in my post. Rather
than futz around with external interface... just append #root to your URL
(for your app)... and take a look at it with BrowserManager again. To help
along - I just posted a blog entry on using Deep Linking in flex. This will
solve your problem without having to code around JavaScript.

Application.url is the url of the Flex SWF.  If you’re web page came from
some other place, you’ll need BrowserManager or its equivalent, which is to
bake in a method in your html-wrapper that you can call via
ExternalInterface.

Then you should probably stick to the mx.core.Application implementation and
use mx.utils.URLUtil to extract the bits as follows:

Var fullURL:String = Application.application.url;
Var baseURL:String = fullURL.substring( 0, fullURL.indexOf( "/",
fullURL.indexOf( URLUtil.getServerName( fullURL ) ) ) );
Var protocol:String = URLUtil.getProtocol( fullURL );
Var port:uint = URLUtil.getPort( fullURL );
Var serverName:String = URLUtil.getServerName( fullURL );
Var isSecure:Boolean = URLUtil.isHttpsURL( fullURL );

This is from memory - so... I'm not sure if this will copy/paste. Just
remember that the Application.application.url is going to report the URL to
the application .swf file - and not the path to the _page_ that loads/hosts
your .swf. As long as you aren't getting creative with where your .swf files
live you shouldn't have any problems with this approach.

Just an fyi - the BrowserManager is primarily used with deep linking and
exposes fragments for internal application navigation. Give that example one
more go - launch it... then in the address bar type in a #foo (exclude the #
if one is already there) at the very end of the url (i.e.
http://www.bar.com/myapp.html#foo).

AND PREPARE TO WET YOUR PANTS!

Rick,

I've already tried BrowserManager. It doesn't do the job, in fact I 
can't image how or where one could use it, because it seems the url has 
to change while the FLASH/Flex app is still alive and I've not been 
able to create such a case. I even tried the sample in the docs and it 
doesn't work. I mean it runs ok, but the properties are all null.


 

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Singletone class in Application and Modules !?

[Rick Winscot]

Alex – the effect he is describing is due to the lack of a protected/locally
visible SingletonEnforcer passed to the constructor of the singleton and
proper management/return of the local static class instance. A pattern for
the ActionScript singleton should be...

public class MySingletonClass
{

  private static var _mySingletonClass:MySingletonClass;

  public function MySingletonClass( enforcer:SingletonEnforcer ) { }

  public static function getInstance():MySingletonClass
  {
if ( _mySingletonClass == null )
_mySingletonClass = new MySingletonClass( new SingletonEnforcer );

return _mySingletonClass;
  }

}

class SingletonEnforcer{}

If this pattern is used - the MySingletonClass.getInstance() and var
foo:MySingletonClass = new MySingletonClass() will resolve to the same
object... although they may appear (in name) as two separate objects. You
can verify this by launching into debug mode and looking at the @093240
(memory address) of both objects. If you've done it right - they will be the
same.

[flexcoders] getting authenticating error

[Parag Metha]

Hi All, 

I have written multiple login testcases using dpunit and using sequence as
per sample example. In this sequence whether we do login or logout server
trip is made and required processing is done on server. 

The testcase structure is as follows: 

TestCase1.as   |

setup() | 
tescase1() {login is called on server}  ==>| 
teradown() {logout called on server}  | 
| 
TestCase2.as  | 
setup()  | 
tescase2() {login is called on server}  ==>| TestSuite =>
TestRunner
teradown() {logout called on server}  | 
| 
TestCase3.as  | 
setup()  | 
tescase3() {login is called on server}  ==>| 
teradown() {logout called on server}  | 

As per my knowledge after completion of teardown() of testcase1 then it
should go for 2nd test setup() and this works fine. But what is happening
that UIComponent maintains list of function to be called. 
UIComponent is not calling individual functions. So login is called
perfectly but logout is not being called. So 1st testcase it is working but
for 2nd testcase it's giving error. This error is due to logout has not
happen on 1st testcase and 2nd testcase is trying to login on server. 

The error is as follows: 

Error: Credentials cannot be set while authenticating or logging out.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Get the Domain the Flex app is running in

[Alex Harui]

You have to have the right html-template, specifically, the ones with
browser integration in it.  Then you need to call init() on the
BrowserManager.getInstance().  It will fill out the values for you.

 

Underneath the covers it does this:

 

_url = ExternalInterface.call("BrowserHistory.getURL");

 

Which you should be able to just use in the app and skip BrowserManager.

Well, so the outcome is that it doesn't work. Actually BrowserManager 
doesn't work at all. I can't imagine under what conditions it would 
work since the url needs to change somehow but I can't see that ever 
happening.

I instantiate an instance of it in the initialize event of the 
application. All it's properties are null. Well, that's that since I 
need to know at that time where (which domain) I'm in. I even tried 
via our server application rather than via the IDE. But no luck there 
either.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Get the Domain the Flex app is running in

[Alex Harui]

Application.url is the url of the Flex SWF.  If you're web page came
from some other place, you'll need BrowserManager or its equivalent,
which is to bake in a method in your html-wrapper that you can call via
ExternalInterface.

Then you should probably stick to the mx.core.Application implementation
and
use mx.utils.URLUtil to extract the bits as follows:

Var fullURL:String = Application.application.url;
Var baseURL:String = fullURL.substring( 0, fullURL.indexOf( "/",
fullURL.indexOf( URLUtil.getServerName( fullURL ) ) ) );
Var protocol:String = URLUtil.getProtocol( fullURL );
Var port:uint = URLUtil.getPort( fullURL );
Var serverName:String = URLUtil.getServerName( fullURL );
Var isSecure:Boolean = URLUtil.isHttpsURL( fullURL );

This is from memory - so... I'm not sure if this will copy/paste. Just
remember that the Application.application.url is going to report the URL
to
the application .swf file - and not the path to the _page_ that
loads/hosts
your .swf. As long as you aren't getting creative with where your .swf
files
live you shouldn't have any problems with this approach.

Just an fyi - the BrowserManager is primarily used with deep linking and
exposes fragments for internal application navigation. Give that example
one
more go - launch it... then in the address bar type in a #foo (exclude
the #
if one is already there) at the very end of the url (i.e.
http://www.bar.com/myapp.html#foo  ).

Rick,

I've already tried BrowserManager. It doesn't do the job, in fact I 
can't image how or where one could use it, because it seems the url has 
to change while the FLASH/Flex app is still alive and I've not been 
able to create such a case. I even tried the sample in the docs and it 
doesn't work. I mean it runs ok, but the properties are all null.

[flexcoders] Sorting datagrid rows by dragging columns to correct order??

[ozflex]

Hi all,

I have a normal dg which is pulling data from MySQL db and i'm trying
to figure out the best way to allow users to drag the rows to re-order
as per however they may want it.. 

This is what I thought buy some feedback would be great!

1. Add 'order' column to sql db
2. Set inital order for each row
3. sort by order desc when pulling db into dg
4. Create function to:
 a. when a user drops a row into desired position make each rows
order = each rows index
 b. update mysql db when all changes are complete

I also thought, maybe remember oldOrder val, + 1 to each order value
from point of insertion until order = oldOrder??

Obviously this method has issues when the # of rows grows.. so thats
why I would love some help with this! there must be a better way :)

Thanks in advance!

[flexcoders] Need an OO design to stop video...

[cdf.procontent]

Okay good people, 

I have a component I created with a list and a video player.  I use a
vstack in the application to switch between my view components like so
(for shortness I have deleted all the attributes) :

 









webView has the player component and on my last foray into this type
of design, I had to rely on the stack to call a method that checked if
the last view selected was the one that contained the video component,
and if it was, it called the .stop() method. That was not a very OO
type design, but it worked. I could attach a listener and do the same
thing, but still not the cleanest...

The best OO concept would be to register an event that will fire from
either the canvas that contains the component, or from the component
itself (which is an HBox) and invoke the method to stop the player
when the view stack moves away from the component or the component's
parent.  This would be the correct OO way of doing things.  Let the
component or the composite container dictate the behavior.

Before all you helpful folks starts suggesting events I can use, here
are the events listed below associated with the Canvas and HBox that I
have tried.  However, when I switch the viewstack, the video keeps on
playing (I did verify that click events worked, so the registration is
working fine).

1. deactivate - A longshot, I knew it was the meant for application
level events.

2. exitState - this looked like the money event, but NOT!

3. removedFromStage - I knew this wouldn't work.

4. resize - I have a wipedown effect that i thought might trigger
this.  Oh well...

5. hide - I didn't think so, and I was right.

I guess the other alternative is to use the ViewStack to dispatch an
event and then register that event with the component and then look at
the passed event to figure out what to do next.  I can live with that,
but it seems like the long way around the block.

Thanks,

Curtis Fisher

[flexcoders] Re: Singletone class in Application and Modules !?

[dbronk]

I beg to differ.  I had setup my app thinking this to be true.  When I
did this the module would get it's own, and very different, instance
of my singleton.  I had to change the way I did things so what I do
now is upon loading my module, the main app then sets the singleton
into the module.  I don't have my example code anymore, but it was
quite easy to produce the results.

Maybe it has to do with the way I compiled my module  I compiled
my application with "-link-report=c:\app\encoreNG.link.report.xml" and
my module with "-load-externs=c:\app\encoreNG.link.report.xml".  Not
sure if that has anything to do with it.  Also, when I had this coded
I was on Flex 3, Beta 3 and have not retested with Flex 3 GA.

[flexcoders] Web Services - which class?

[carljmosca]

I have generated a web service client using a WSDL from an Axis 1.4
web service using the demo version of FB3 on OS X.

I end up with two classes and I am wondering which one should be used
to call the web service.

One class name is preceded with "Base".  If I use this class, I can
call the web service and using the debugger I can tell the web service
is called and the result is returned as expected.  However the
listener is not called (and at this point I do not know why).

If I use the class which is named as expected (i.e. not named with the
"Base" prefix), I cannot call the web service because there are
compilation errors in the generated code:

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Adding Children to Canvases

[Gordon Smith]

A child DisplayObject can only have one parent, so you can't add 'item'
to more than one Canvas. When you add it to the second one it gets
removed from the first, etc.

 

You need to implement a clone() method to make copies of your items.

is displayed and the last ones are ignored. If there is only one day
in the string, then it displays fine. Help!

[flexcoders] Adding Children to Canvases

[kenny14390]

I have 7 Canvases, one for each day of the week. When the user wants
to add something to the weekly schedule, it could have multiple days
(Monday and Wednesday, for example). The days to add are in a string
like this: "UMTWRFS", where each letter represents a corresponding day
of the week. If the days are just Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, the
string would look like this: "MWF".

Here's my problem, I wrote ActionScript to check if a day is in the
string and if so, add it to its corresponding canvas via addChild().
Here is my code:

if (days.search("M")!=-1){
mon.addChild(item);
}
if (days.search("T")!=-1){
tues.addChild(item);
}
if (days.search("W")!=-1){
wed.addChild(item);
}
if (days.search("R")!=-1){
thurs.addChild(item);
}
if (days.search("F")!=-1){
fri.addChild(item);
}
if (days.search("S")!=-1){
sat.addChild(item);
}
if (days.search("U")!=-1){
sun.addChild(item);
}

My problem is that if "days" is multiple days, only the last day is
added to its canvas. This is very strange since I am using 7
independent "if" statements. I debugged and I saw the code execute
correctly for all of the days in the string, but only the last one
showed up visually in the canvas. Am I doing something wrong? Any help
is appreciated.

Rick,

I've already tried BrowserManager. It doesn't do the job, in fact I 
can't image how or where one could use it, because it seems the url has 
to change while the FLASH/Flex app is still alive and I've not been 
able to create such a case. I even tried the sample in the docs and it 
doesn't work. I mean it runs ok, but the properties are all null.

[flexcoders] Panel Skinned With Flash Has Content Area Too Big

[henry_navarro]

I have instances of the Panel component that was skinned using the
Flex Skin Component Kit for Flash. The problem is that the content
areas of these panels occupy the entire panel area. An unskinned panel
has a content area that is within the panel's edges and header. For my
skinned panels, the content area extends to all four edges of the
panel (top, bottom, left, right). Any components placed inside the
panel goes beyond the usual white content area and crosses into the
header. In Flash file, I only touched the panel base layer and left
the content area and shadow layers as in the original distribution.

How can I fix this content area size problem? Please help. Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] AMFPHP with NetConnection or RemoteObject ?

[Aaron Miller]

The page on the AMFPHP 1.9 beta release recommends using RemoteObject. When
using NetConnection, for some reason AMFPHP uses AMF0 instead of AMF3.
Someone else on this list ran into a problem with this when returning a
record set from their service. AS3 no longer supports the RecordSet class,
but if you used RemoteObject instead it would send it back as an
ArrayCollection over AMF3.

I've been tinkering around with NetConnection seeing if I can get a work
around for this, but have been unsuccessful so far.

Hope this helps,

~Aaron

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Get the Domain the Flex app is running in

[Rick Winscot]

You might want to give BrowserManager a go… or mx.utils.URLUtil.

URLUtil includes functions like

* getFullURL():String
* getPort():uint
* WhosYourDaddy():Daddy
* getServerName():String

Search the Flex docs or online for BrowserManager or URLUtil - I'm sure you
will find what you are looking for.

That is correct. I need the domain the web page is in. However, 
Application.application.url gives me the domain of the .swf file and 
that is my domain, not the domain of the web page hosting the swf.
 

RE: [flexcoders] Flex component swf file

1. In another project - you will need to move that project to your other

copy it to a directory (i.e. swc) in your project folder and change the

Another way to get a project from one machine to another cleanly - is to
right click on the project (in the navigator) and select export. From the
export dialog select Flex Builder - > Flex Project Archive. Then on the
other machine right click in the navigator and select import. Then from the

[flexcoders] Re: How to pass Flex ArrayCollection to Coldfusion CFC?

[Don Kerr]

Oh, so is it a ColdFusion-side question? I pass whatever data there is
on the flex side (text,object,array, selectedItems, etc.) back to the
CFC via a single Object.

The CFC argument must be of type Struct.

In this example below, gridData might be myGrid.selectedItems, or
myGrid.dataProvider passed in the mydata object. Then I just loop
through the Array and do the insert or update.







INSERT INTO CRreleased
(WeekEnding,planned,plannedReleased,unplannedReleased,externalReleased)
VALUES
(#mydata.gridData[i].WeekEnding#,#mydata.gridData[i].planned#,#mydata.gridData[i].plannedReleased#,#mydata.gridData[i].unplannedReleased#,#mydata.gridData[i].externalReleased#)

Well, so the outcome is that it doesn't work. Actually BrowserManager 
doesn't work at all. I can't imagine under what conditions it would 
work since the url needs to change somehow but I can't see that ever 
happening.

I instantiate an instance of it in the initialize event of the 
application. All it's properties are null. Well, that's that since I 
need to know at that time where (which domain) I'm in. I even tried 
via our server application rather than via the IDE. But no luck there 
either.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 3 ComboBox and Editable property

[Alex Harui]

The following worked for me.  If your dataProvider is assigned later
that might make a difference.

 

var foo:ComboBox = new
ComboBox();

addChild(foo);

foo.y = 100;

foo.editable = true;

foo.dataProvider =
['Gordon', 'Alex'];

foo.selectedIndex = -1;

foo.text = "nuts";

Hi,

I'm attempting to migrate from Flex2 to 3. One issue I'm have is with
the ComboBox. In particular, with the Editable property set true.

Previously, if I wanted to set an editable combobox to display a value
OTHER than one of the values in the dataProvider (an ArrayCollection
of Strings), I just set the 'text' property to some string. In Flex3,
this does not seem to have any effect. I even added setting the
selectedIndex to -1, first but still no change. The desired text value
does not show up, just the 1st element of the dataProvider.

cb_freight.selectedIndex = -1;
cb_freight.text = "This is a test";

Anyone else found this the case?

RE: [flexcoders] Flex ContextMenu in a DataGrid

Again, do I suck or does Flex suck? Answer: BOTH!



#1. I would like to have a specific contect menu per column. Perhaps I
could do that in itemRenderer, introducing another level of bogosity.

#2a. The context menu renders when the DataGrid is 'instantiated'
.. I need it to render at the instant it is called up by the user's
mouse click or context-menu-button press)... great: digression: The
context menu button triggers a browser-level (Firefox at this instant)
ho hum...

anyway:
#2b: I need the context menu rendered at the instant it is called up
by the user, in order to be able to determine those items that should
be included, and as an opportunity to gray-out (i.e. disable) items
based on the context of the item that was clicked: in particular, my
DataGrid cell-level content. That's the context!

Any advice? It could involve roll-out events, whatever it takes!

RE: [flexcoders] Flex component swf file

[Alex Harui]

If you are moving a compiled application, the component for each tile in
the tilelist is baked into the SWF and should move with it.  Someone
might have put it in a different SWF, but then it should be "near" the
other swfs and move with it.

 

More likely, the url it is using for webservices is no longer correct
and needs updating.

RE: [flexcoders] Can a Listener return a value

[Alex Harui]

Sorry, read the code incorrectly.  Thought he was modifying the event
properties.  Modifying a property on the object is "ok" until you have
two listeners both trying to set that property.

 

Events are really for notification, and notifications aren't really
supposed to answer any other question than "that's (not) ok with me".
The cancelable/preventDefault() mechanism is used for that, and
propagation control is used to block notification.

 

That's not to say I'm one of the strict-minded folks.  I've definitely
found scenarios where I would want to  modify the payload of an event.
Even though it disturbs our more strict-minded developers, passing a
reference to a mutable object is sort of a token-passing behavior where
listeners get to modify it as it goes around, but in the order of
propagation.

That works, but is considered a "hack" in the strictest sense.
The W3C Events spec indicates that event properties are read-only.
Flash allows writing to them to make setup easier (constructor args are
easy to mix up).

 

Hmm. In this sense, surely event.target is a reference to an object, so
really this has nothing to do with event properties at all? (it's just
using the object reference to set a public attribute). Or are you
referring to the lack of a cast -
SomeClass(event.target).publicParameter ?

 

Of course the listener could also call a callback method -
SomeClass(event.target).aCallbackFn() .

  That's probably because it's pseudocode, rather than real code.

   

  Every event listener is passed an event object, and on that event object a 
property called "target" exists that is a back reference to the object that 
dispatched the event. You can use that back reference to send a parameter back 
to the dispatching object.

   

  Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead using this, because the event 
dispatcher should be able to set said parameter itself (Plus it's a recipe for 
an infinite dispatch loop), but it certainly answers your question.



Why would the solution (good or bad) be a recipe for an infinite dispatch loop?



Perhaps you consider that there is a binding on the value that might cause the 
event to be redispatched - in which case it might happen easily  in some code 
called elsewhere from the event listener. 



I would agree that such a tight coupling is probably unwise.

Re: [flexcoders] Binding WebService Data to ArrayCollection

[Peter Connolly]

First off, that's not a WSDL.  That looks more like a response message.

In your 

If your WSDL defines CalendarType as a , you should be able to assign that to an
ArrayCollection directly, e.g.:

 var results:ArrayCollection = event.result.CalendarType;

But it's hard to tell with those small snippets of code.  Can you
share your WSDL?

[flexcoders] Re: Need help passing data to a title window

[valdhor]

I'm still a newbie but it looks as though you are trying to add a
datagrid to a TitleWindow container.

You need to create the datagrid, set its dataProvider, then add it as
a child to the TitleWindow container.

Something like (Untested code follows):

var myExcelDG:DataGrid = new DataGrid();
myExcelDG.dataProvider = projCatHolder.allProjectsView.myDG.dataProvider;
dgExcel.addChild(myExcelDG);

Of course the listener could also call a callback method - 
SomeClass(event.target).aCallbackFn() .

Is it true if I have singleton class instantiated in main application

 public class DataManager

 public static function get instance():DataManager {
 return singleton_;
 }

 public function DataManager() {
 if (singleton_ != null) {
 throw new Error("Cannot instantiate singleton

 }
 }

in main application:

I have a test Environment having access to web services, into which I am

port the main application mxml and title window mxml files' swf files. But I 
guess the tilelist in the pop up window is not populating, since the flex 
component responsible for each tile in the tilelist is not found. 

Please help me.

[flexcoders] Flex ContextMenu in a DataGrid

[mr_j_harris]

Again, do I suck or does Flex suck?  Answer: BOTH!



#1. I would like to have a specific contect menu per column. Perhaps I
could do that in itemRenderer, introducing another level of bogosity.

#2a.  The context menu renders when  the DataGrid is 'instantiated'
.. I need it to render at the instant it is called up by the user's
mouse click or context-menu-button press)... great: digression: The
context menu button triggers a browser-level (Firefox at this instant)
ho hum...

anyway:
#2b: I need the context menu rendered at the instant it is called up
by the user, in order to be able to determine those items that should
be included, and as an opportunity to gray-out (i.e. disable) items
based on the context of the item that was clicked: in particular, my
DataGrid cell-level content.  That's the context!


Any advice?  It could involve roll-out events, whatever it takes!

[flexcoders] Flex 3 ComboBox and Editable property

[Mike_Robinson_98]

Hi,

I'm attempting to migrate from Flex2 to 3. One issue I'm have is with
the ComboBox. In particular, with the Editable property set true.

Previously, if I wanted to set an editable combobox to display a value
OTHER than one of the values in the dataProvider (an ArrayCollection
of Strings), I just set the 'text' property to some string. In Flex3,
this does not seem to have any effect. I even added setting the
selectedIndex to -1, first but still no change. The desired text value
does not show up, just the 1st element of the dataProvider.

cb_freight.selectedIndex = -1;
cb_freight.text = "This is a test";

Anyone else found this the case?

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: ArrayCollection of String as single-column
DataGrid provider

 

You have a couple of choices... you could translate the strings to
objects with a single property (loop over them), then feed that array to
a standard DataGrid.  Or, if you plan to be doing a lot of this, you
could create a custom component that does the job internally.  It is a
pretty trivial exercise to build a custom data grid that does what you
want.  Try the code below to get you started.  NOTE: code created in
this editor and may not even compile... but, it'll get you close :)

This code does not create your column for you etc.  Instead it counts on
you to create it in your MXML where you create your StringGrid.  Note
however, that you could do that in this class as well... maybe have a
public property for the headerText of the single column, then create the
column internally giving it the headerText from the property and the
dataField of "label"

   public class StringGrid extends DataGrid
   {   
  public override function set dataProvider(value:Object):void
  {
  var myDP:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
  if(value is Array)
  {
  var strArray:Array = Array(value);
  for each(var str:String in strArray)
  {
  var obj:Object = new Object();
  //need to use label in  your datagrid column
  obj.label = str;
  myDP.add(obj);
  }
  super.dataProvider = myDP
  }
  else
  {
 super.dataProvider = value;
  }
  }
   }

[flexcoders] Re: Can a Listener return a value

[markgoldin_2000]

I thought about something like this too.
So, let's say we have the followig code:
public function aFunction():XML
{
  public var publicParameter:XML = new XML;
  addEventListener( Event.SomeEvent, responderEventHandler );
  private function responderEventHandler(event:Event):void
  {
  event.target.publicParameter = someXml;
  }
  return publicParameter;
}

If we are talking about getting XML from the Server then:
return publicParameter is most likely executed before:
event.target.publicParameter = someXml;
Am I wrong here?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: creating MXML components with new-operator in ActionScript

[Alex Harui]

For performance reasons, children are not created until the container is
attached to the parent.

 

In general, this problem is a warning flag.  It says that your central
code is pushing information downward which means that it has knowledge
of the visuals.  Modern architectures prefer that visuals pull
information from a central data model, and then you won't have this
problem.

 

I would discourage pre-filling a cache at startup time too.

That works, but is considered a "hack" in the strictest sense.  The W3C
