How did you get into itemRendererToIndices?  Maybe we need to see more

It didn't make any sense to me either. I think that since that is 
the first line in the function, maybe it is losing the flag as it is 
passed into the function, but I have no idea how that would happen. 
I'm stepping through line by line at that point, so I'm not sure what 
could be happening there that I'm not seeing.

I've only got one installed copy of Flex Builder 3. I uninstalled 
the last beta before installing. Is there any other action I should 
take?

And yes ;-).

Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Does Flex 3 suport file uploading by using Web Service?

[Josh McDonald]

If you know they're going to be small files, and you need to do it through
soap, you could probably do a normal upload to a cache on your server,
re-download the file (so your flex app knows about it), and then encode it
as part of your soap request. Awfully inefficient, and may require
monkeypatching or subclassing mx:webservice or SOAPEncoder, but probably
doable if it's a requirement.

Or perhaps a custom server-side proxy that takes a file and a POST form and
forwards a SOAP request on your behalf, proxying the result for you. Also a
bit of a pain :)

Not with Flash Player 9.  I believe they've announced enhanced file

might have to do more of the plumbing stuff yourself--reading the file to

[flexcoders] Event generation.. only after data returned from server side.

[Manu Dhanda]

Hii

How can I achieve that any event should take place only after the data is
loaded in my flex application.
I am using an Accordion with a datagrid on my first loaded page.

And if I 'll click on the other bars(of accordion) then randomly it happens
as if the control remain fluctuating between different views [screens].

So, I want that until the data for the first screen fully loaded, there
shouldn't be any other event 'n consequently, there won't be other screen's
opening and tht fluctuating situation will never happen then.[it's just my
assumption].

Any thoughts/suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks,
Manu.

[flexcoders] compile failed for chart classes

[coder3]

Hi all,

i copied the flexTasks.jar to my [ant home]/lib

but when i build it, it gave me errors for chart classes " Error: Type was
not found or was not a compile-time constant: CartesianChart."

so it doesn't organize chart classes. and they are not in flex2sdk, do i
need to get another jar to compile chart objects? where can i find that jar?

thanx

This is actually a pretty tricky issue as modifications are not limited to
the crossdomain file alone. implementing 'meta-policies' may also be needed.

Hi
Trying to insert some characters on every new row when the user hits
enter... 
The following does not work:

// Define a textarea: 


// Add a keystroke listener
myTextArea.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyHandler);

// Handle keystrokes
private function keyHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void{
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER){
this.myTextArea.text += "added text";
}
}

However, if you add a random alert message in the middle, it suddenly
works:

private function keyHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void{
Alert.show("Dummy message");
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER){
this.myTextArea.text += "added text";
}
}

Isn't this strange? 

 

RE: [flexcoders] How to remeasure itemRenderer

Could you be using the wrong source for Flex?  Your findings don't make
sense.

 

You are calling invalidateSize on the renderer I presume?

I want to add something to an itemRenderer in a List that will make it 
taller. I've set the List's variableRowHeight to true.

However, when I set invalidateSize() in my click handler, the measure() 
method never happens.

I've stepped through the code in the debugger, and narrowed it down to 
line 4487 (itemRendererToIndices protected function):

if (!item || !(item.name in rowMap))

When that line runs, the invalidateSizeFlag on item (my renderer) 
suddenly goes to false.

Any idea what's happening? What is the recommended way to remeasure an 
itemRenderer?

Thanks;

[flexcoders] How to remeasure itemRenderer

[Amy]

I want to add something to an itemRenderer in a List that will make it 
taller.  I've set the List's variableRowHeight to true.

However, when I set invalidateSize() in my click handler, the measure() 
method never happens.

I've stepped through the code in the debugger, and narrowed it down to 
line 4487 (itemRendererToIndices protected function):

if (!item || !(item.name in rowMap))

When that line runs, the invalidateSizeFlag on item (my renderer) 
suddenly goes to false.

Any idea what's happening?  What is the recommended way to remeasure an 
itemRenderer?

Thanks;

Amy

Re: [flexcoders] Re: SWC Encrypt 2.0 - Does it work?

[Sherif Abdou]

The local variable get changed to _loc_1, so your best best is to write some 
sort of script that changes the public/private variables to something like
__var_1, and make sure u increment by 1. you can do the same for functions 
function __test__1();. I dont think encryption will matter unless some crazy 
person wants to decipher what all they mean.

[flexcoders] replacing items in an arraycollection?

[blc187]

I have an ArrayCollection of objects that I am receiving updates on.
On update, I get the updated item as an argument and I need to 
replace the old item in the list.
Right now I am cycling through the ArrayCollection until i find the 
id of the item and returning the index, then replacing the item at 
that index.
Any thoughts on a better way to do this?


public var itemCollection:ArrayCollection;

public function onUpdateReceived(newItem:Object):void {
  findIndex(newItem);
  if(index > -1)
itemCollection.setItemAt(newItem, index);
}

public function findIndex(newItem:Object):Number {

  for each(var itemInCollection:Object in itemCollection){
if(itemInCollection.id == newItem.id) return 
  itemCollection.getItemIndex(itemInCollection);
  }

  return -1;
}

Hi, Yes that is true, I stand corrected :) I tested it with SWF 
Encrypt™ 5.0 and 4.0 my self and the Sothink decompiler did show it 
almost like the code form flex builder.

[flexcoders] Altering a textarea on certain keyboardevents...

[miltoon71]

Hi
Trying to insert some characters on every new row when the user hits enter... 
The following does not work:

// Define a textarea: 


// Add a keystroke listener
myTextArea.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyHandler);

// Handle keystrokes
private function keyHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void{
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER){
this.myTextArea.text += "added text";
}
}


However, if you add a random alert message in the middle, it suddenly works:

private function keyHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void{
Alert.show("Dummy message");
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER){
this.myTextArea.text += "added text";
}
}


Isn't this strange?

[flexcoders] Re: Flex + WebORB for PHP, A very strage problem

[Uber_Nick]

Manu,

Note the following.
trace(Boolean('TRUE')); // returns true
trace(Boolean('FALSE')); // also returns true

Flex is interpreting the result from your PHP call as a String.  Try
returning lower-case 'true' and 'false'.  Also, try using:
list[i].aircon as Boolean 
instead of:
Boolean(list[i].aircon)
The former will not always convert to true (but will return null if it
can't convert).  Lastly, if you can't make it work, just try this
workaround:
vo.aircon = (''+list[i].aircon).toLowerCase()=='true';

RE: [flexcoders] Dynamic TextArea creation

[Gordon Smith]

Make an Array instance variable

 



   public var newTexts:Array /* of TextArea */ = [];



 

After creating a new TextArea, store a reference to it in the Array:

 

var newText:TextArea = new TextArea();

...

newTexts[countObjects] = newText;

 

Access the text in the ith TextArea as

 

newTexts[i].text

newText.styleName = "textNew";

newText.id = "newText" + countObjects;

newText.name = "newText" + countObjects;

newText.width = 150;

Re: [flexcoders] Re: SWC Encrypt 2.0 - Does it work?

[Doug McCune]

That last comment isn't true. The Sothink decompiler works just fine on Flex
swfs.

Here's my experience with SWF Encrypt and SWC Encrypt:

   - We ran SWCEncrypt on a Flex SWC and then tried decompiling a Flex app
   created with the encrypted SWC versus the unencrypted SWC. I could not tell
   any difference whatsoever. Both decompiled just fine, it appeared as if
   SWCEncrypt did absolutely nothing to the SWC file. I don't know if we were
   doing soemthing wrong (although really how can you? you just run it on a
   SWC), or if the encryptor doesn't support Flex SWCs specifically.
   - SWFEncrypt, on the other hand, works. But it does not work for Flex
   swfs. If you try to encrypt a full Flex SWF the encryptor goes overboard and
   jacks up the Flex framework code and makes your SWF unrunnable.
   - What did seem to work was creating a SWF module that did not include
   the Flex framework code, encrypting that, and loading that module into a
   wrapper Flex app.
   - Neither SWCEncrypt nor SWFEncrypt seems to actually "encrypt" anything,
   All of it can still be decompiled with the Sothink decompiler (maybe the
   decompiler just knows how to decrypt whatever encryption is used).
   SWFEncrypt does seem to obfuscate the code though. A decompiled SWF that has
   been run through SWFEncrypt is harder to read than a non-obfuscated one.

[flexcoders] Dynamic TextArea creation

[Tiago Santarosa]

Hi,

I'm trying to create an application that is the dynamic creation of  
fields (textarea), this is okay! but I need to have access to these  
textareas to get the values to write in a file. How to access these  
values?


This is the code for creation of the field:

var newText:TextArea = new TextArea();
newText.styleName = "textNew";
newText.id = "newText" + countObjects;
newText.name = "newText" + countObjects;
newText.width = 150;
newText.height = 70;
newText.x = pt.x + 20;
newText.y = pt.y + 20;

Sorry for bad English
Thanks, Tiago. 

[flexcoders] Re: programmatically using RemoteObject

[Cato Paus]

Here is a part of my way to do it this is only for the connection,
you have to use "flexComRo.yourjavamethod "and you have to create a
handler for tath if you need to.

you have to put the destination in the remote-config.xml

initFlexCom();

return RemoteObjectProxy._instance;

}



private static function initFlexCom():void

channel = new AMFChannel('my-amf',
'http://{server.name}:{server.port}/flex/messagebroker/amf');

channel.requestTimeout = 10;

channel.connectTimeout = 10;

channelSet.addChannel(channel);



flexComRO = new RemoteObject();

flexComRO.concurrency = Concurrency.LAST;

flexComRO.destination = "FlexComRO";

flexComRO.channelSet = channelSet;

[flexcoders] Re: automated image files on a headless server with AIR?

[netdeep]

I am using the following method to save the image:

private function captureImg(comp:UIComponent, name:String):void { 
var imageSnap:ImageSnapshot = ImageSnapshot.captureImage(comp);
var imageByteArray:ByteArray = imageSnap.data as ByteArray;
imgSave.saveImage(imageByteArray, name+"-img.png");
}

imgSave is a RemoteObject java class.  The problem is that the flex app which 
runs this 
code never gets launched on the server.  When I try to launch it from java with 
a runtime 
exec and the URL, it never launches, presumably because it is running in a 
browser and 
the server is headless.  That's why I am considering reconfiguring flex to run 
headless or 
converting it into an AIR app.

[flexcoders] Re: tree control incorrectly displays nodes marked as "open"

[yanroyss]

In my previous post to this list, I included a link to my Adobe forum
post which includes a simple program that reproduces the error.  For
your convenience, here's a direct link to the post in that thread that
contains the code:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=60&catid=585&threadid=1366770&enterthread=y#4977869

I haven't found any facility for attaching a file to a posting to this
list, so I think going to that link is the best way to get the code to
you.  You'll just need to copy/paste that code into an MXML file and
compile.  Running it will demonstrate the erroneous behavior, and if
you remove the line near the bottom of the script (commented so as to
be obvious which one), the behavior will be as expected.

Thank you for your help.

[flexcoders] Re: confusion with events

[Tim Hoff]

Hey,

That's one way.  But, since the ModelLocator is already Bindable, you
don't need to add event listeners for data changes.  As an alternative
you can bind {} ModelLocator variables to the dataProviders in your
components.  When the data in the model variables is changed, the
binding mechanism automatically updates the view.  If you need to do
something in the view, when the data is updated, you can always use the
valueCommit event on the bound control.

Next stop; ApplicationController and Commands.

Re: [flexcoders] automated image files on a headless server with AIR?

[Igor Costa]

actually not need air app to do that, You can use the bytearray to encode
the image and send to your java to save that each time or in meanwhile you
need.

Subject: [flexcoders] tree control incorrectly displays nodes marked as
"open"

 

Hi,
I've been having a very odd problem using the Tree control with a
HierarchicicalCollectionView as the dataProvider. I've been to the
Adobe Forums and #flex on irc.freenode.org looking for help and so far
I've come up empty. I was told on IRC that Flexcoders is the right
place to look for help :)

The problem is very simple, but somewhat difficult to describe. For
reasons I'm still a little hazy on, the root node of the tree is
displayed along side (on the same level) as its first-level children.
All nodes that have children are correctly marked as expandable with
the disclosure icon. Clicking said icon will cause the next level of
the hierarchy to be displayed, which also suffers from the same
problem: it will display all 2nd-level children AND their children on
the 2nd level. I believe this problem stems from the way the Tree
control iterates over the collection -- it uses
ICollectionView.createCursor() instead of using the dataDescriptor
property of the Tree control to do that operation (which the docs
imply it does).

After much frustration and dead ends, I discovered that this bug only
manifests when the nodes in the HierarchicalCollectionView are marked
as "open" using openNode(). If the nodes are closed, it works as
expected. This is very unfortunate for my application, as I'm
creating an app that displays the organization structure of a company.
The control I use for drawing the chart requires all the nodes in the
tree to be "open" in the dataProvider, but the Tree control that I'd
like to use to provide quick navigation around the organization seems
to require just the opposite.

My questions are simple: why does this happen? Is it really a bug? 
Should I report it? (probably, if it is a bug...) Has anyone ever see
this before, and if so, how did they deal with it?

Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

[flexcoders] Re: Enable / Disable Flex Menu Items Programmatically using AS 3.0

[valdhor]

Here is another example that's a lot less buggy and uses an MXLList,
XMLListCollection and a MenuBar. This is taken mostly from the example
listed in the help:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute"
 creationComplete="onComplete(event)">

Wow finally got this working THANK YOU
EVERYBODY!!!

Besides the syntax problems that you guys helped me with there was
another with the formatted xml data.

Since the code exists in a component the xmlns data was being (by
flex) inserted in the root of the xml data.  So below:

Source:








   
  



Trace:  









   
  



This is why I was getting a null when referencing it.  The fix is to
put xmlns="" in the root and your examples worked.

Many Thanks!

[flexcoders] Composition of bindable objects

[Richard Rodseth]

I have a chart controlled by a fairly complex set of parameters.
Within the model layer I would like to compose bindable objects, eg

Value1
  value:Number;
  units:String;

Value2
  value:Number;
  units:String;

Parameters
  value1:Value1;
  value2:Value2;

such that view controls can bind to parameters.value1.units, for
example, but an event would also be dispatched indicating that
"value1Changed" or even "parametersChanged".
Is there an approach better than having Parameters add listeners for
PropertyChangeEvents to value1 and value2? Is this a good use for
ChangeWatcher? I've yet to use that class, though I do use the Observe
tag in MXML.
Thanks.

Re: RES: [flexcoders] Using CSS with custom item renderers

[Michael Schmalle]

Simply put, the IDataRenderer interface.

ItemRenderers are supposed to be encapsulated, if Adobe used anything other
than the styleName of the renderer's parent, they would be breaking this
encapsulation rule.

You could try un setting the styleName in commit properties and then try
your TypeSelector again. If that dosn't work, override updateDisplayList()
and unset it after super().

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Enable / Disable Flex Menu Items Programmatically using AS 3.0

[Tracy Spratt]

Yes, it can.

 

Valdhor's example works for me.  There is something going on with the
programmatic instantiation of the menu, it dissapears on click unless it
gets recreated in the handler.  That is just a bug and not necessary to
demonstrate the technique of disabling a menu item.

OK, I figured out how to tell my component "yes, I really want you to 
use your own style, regardless of where you are."

Here it is:

override protected function commitProperties(){
this.styleName=this.className;
}

Deceptively simple!  :-)

I need to know how to handle the other events generated by the datagrid
component while an update is being performed.  For example, I have an
editable datagrid into which numeric values can be entered.  When the
user edits a cell and presses enter, or otherwise clicks off the line, a
database table is updated with the data (via a remote object call) on
the line on which the cell was edited.  During the update, I want to
prevent the user from inputting any data into other cells.  I have found
that, by repeatedly hitting enter after editing a cell, and before the
update is complete, the screen freezes.  Worse yet, if I repeatedly edit
a cell and hit enter before the update is complete, the screen freezes
and data on a line that has an error will be updated.  Can you give me
an example of how to handle this situation?  

 

I will appreciate any help.

[flexcoders] Synchronous HTTPService possible?

[Chilcoat, Dee]

I need to know how to handle the other events generated by the datagrid
component while an update is being performed.  For example, I have an
editable datagrid into which numeric values can be entered.  When the
user edits a cell and presses enter, or otherwise clicks off the line, a
database table is updated with the data (via a remote object call) on
the line on which the cell was edited.  During the update, I want to
prevent the user from inputting any data into other cells.  I have found
that, by repeatedly hitting enter after editing a cell, and before the
update is complete, the screen freezes.  Worse yet, if I repeatedly edit
a cell and hit enter before the update is complete, the screen freezes
and data on a line that has an error will be updated.  Can you give me
an example of how to handle this situation?  

 

I will appreciate any help.

OK, this is fairly buggy but it does show you can gray out a menu item
from actionscript (Check the "Down" submenu item after clicking the
"Lock / Unlock" menu item). I will leave the bug fixes and extras to you

No it doesn't work.  I don't get an error but when I trace to look at
the myMenuData enabled attribute is still set to "true".

[flexcoders] Re: Enable / Disable Flex Menu Items Programmatically using AS 3.0

[valdhor]

I just tried this:

myMenuData..menuitem.(attribute("id")=="menuDown")[EMAIL PROTECTED] = false;

and it worked - The sub menu item "Down" was grayed out; So Tracy is
correct.

Re: [flexcoders] Anyone know how to reveal the functions in namespaces like c++?

I'm not sure about the Flex 4 part, but here's how you get Flex Builder to
recognize Flash Player 10.  I imagine it should be a similar edit for flex
4.

[flexcoders] Saving BMPs

[cavi21]

Hello, like Isaid in another post, I'm doing a test application that capture an 
Bitmap with a 
Webcam, and then store it in the disk. But the JPEGEncoder takes so long to 
encode, so i 
made a C# mini-program to do it. The problem now is how can I save de image in 
a BMP file 
format (1600x1200) in the disk??

thanks for your time, and attention

As I understand it cross-domain files also need "site-control" and
"allow-http-request-headers-from" tags with the newest version of the

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Enable / Disable Flex Menu Items Programmatically using AS 3.0

[Tracy Spratt]

This won't work:

myMenuData.menuitem.(@id=="menuDown")[EMAIL PROTECTED] = "false";

You need to use the attribute syntax as in my example.

Programmatically using AS 3.0

 

Fair enough. Here is the code:

The menu is created using:


public var myMenu:Menu;
//myMenu is globally created

var pt:Point = new Point(event.localX, event.localY);

myMenu = Menu.createMenu(null, myMenuData, false); 

pt = event.target.localToGlobal(pt);

myMenu.labelField="@label";

myMenu.show(pt.x, pt.y);

=

After this I add a few event handlers specific to the menu 

Then I add a switch statement to test what item was clicked. When the
item "Lock / Unlock" is selected I ouput an Alert to make sure It is
working correctly. Directly after the Alert I run the following:

===
myMenuData.menuitem.(@id=="menuDown")[EMAIL PROTECTED] = "false";

// I ALSO TRIED

myMenu.dataDescriptor.setEnabled(myMenuData.menuDrill.menuDown[0],false)
;

===

The data is statically defined in mxml like so:
=









 
 


===

I hope this is enough info. 

If someone has another example using a different data source please
post. I don't have to use an XML formatted data. 

Thanks for the help.

Re: [flexcoders] programmatically using RemoteObject

[Douglas Knudsen]

dunno why you'd want to, using a framework you wouldn't have very many
instances of RO around, eh?  Anyhoo, you will need to use the non-mxml

Re: [flexcoders] States - what's under the hood?

[Daniel Freiman]

I am by no means a states expert, but if you ever want to know what's going
on within an MXML you can add the compiler flag
"-keep-generated-actionscript=true" and look at the source code itself that
placed in the "generated" folder.  It helped me a lot on understanding one
project where I used states.

[flexcoders] Re: confusion with events

[fb6668]

Never mind, I worked it out. I used my model locator:

in SmallGraph:
model.assets.addEventListener("ASSET_DATA_CHANGE_VIEW",listen);
public function listen(e:Event):void
{
Alert.show("asset event");
}

then in the model:
public function changeAssetView()
{
dispatchEvent(new Event('ASSET_DATA_CHANGE_VIEW'));
}

This seems to work!

I meant a CSS solution. I could possibly create a classFactory and 
pass in the styleName in that, but that's not nearly as clean as just 
using the TypeSelector.  I could also pass in a reference to the 
Application and/or its styles and have the component look at that to 
see if there is a style that matches the ClassName, but that's sort 
of icky too.

Why is the List component set up to break this?

Re: [flexcoders] Accessing the sub-items of a Menu command

[Daniel Freiman]

First, does the sub menu exist when you are trying to access it?  I don't
think they're created until they are needed.  Otherwise, it looks the like
the best way is to get access to the item renderer which has a menu
property, although i'm not 100% sure that it's the correct menu that you are
looking for. We'll see.

How do I go about setting up the remoteObject method programmatically?

[flexcoders] Re: Enable / Disable Flex Menu Items Programmatically using AS 3.0

[valdhor]

Well, something pops out at me immediately as I look at your XML - it
is not well formed. You cannot have stray < or > symbols inside your
XML tags - these have to be encoded (See
http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-5032714.html). In
your case you have:

I'm not sure Flex Builder has code hinting for the Flex 4 API.
You could see what xsd4mxml made of it...

[flexcoders] confusion with events

[fb6668]

I have a question about how events are used.

I have a component which has the following sub-components:


  
  


The AssetGraphPanel itself contains components:







These graphs need to change when a button inside the AssetAccordion is
clicked, by calling a function in SmallGraph called 'updateChart()'.
There will be other things that should also trigger this function to
be called, from other components.
So, how do I add an event listener/dispatcher so that the SmallGraph
can hear it whereever in the application it was fired from?
Seems to me I want the opposite of bubbling?

Thanks for your patience.

I had the same sort of problem and found that I forgot to set the

[flexcoders] Re: Enable / Disable Flex Menu Items Programmatically using AS 3.0

[bc24fl]

No I can use any method.  If you can provide an example or link to a
documented example I'd really appreciate it.  The only requirements I
have is to display a menu to the user and be able to turn on and off
menu items using AS3.  

Any help much appreciated.

[flexcoders] tree control incorrectly displays nodes marked as "open"

[yanroyss]

Hi,
I've been having a very odd problem using the Tree control with a
HierarchicicalCollectionView as the dataProvider.  I've been to the
Adobe Forums and #flex on irc.freenode.org looking for help and so far
I've come up empty.  I was told on IRC that Flexcoders is the right
place to look for help :)

The problem is very simple, but somewhat difficult to describe.  For
reasons I'm still a little hazy on, the root node of the tree is
displayed along side (on the same level) as its first-level children.
 All nodes that have children are correctly marked as expandable with
the disclosure icon.  Clicking said icon will cause the next level of
the hierarchy to be displayed, which also suffers from the same
problem: it will display all 2nd-level children AND their children on
the 2nd level.  I believe this problem stems from the way the Tree
control iterates over the collection -- it uses
ICollectionView.createCursor() instead of using the dataDescriptor
property of the Tree control to do that operation (which the docs
imply it does).

After much frustration and dead ends, I discovered that this bug only
manifests when the nodes in the HierarchicalCollectionView are marked
as "open" using openNode().  If the nodes are closed, it works as
expected.  This is very unfortunate for my application, as I'm
creating an app that displays the organization structure of a company.
 The control I use for drawing the chart requires all the nodes in the
tree to be "open" in the dataProvider, but the Tree control that I'd
like to use to provide quick navigation around the organization seems
to require just the opposite.

My questions are simple: why does this happen?  Is it really a bug? 
Should I report it? (probably, if it is a bug...)  Has anyone ever see
this before, and if so, how did they deal with it?

Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

You can find my original post on the Adobe Flex forums (along with a
simple reproduction recipe for the problem) here:

[flexcoders] Re: Enable / Disable Flex Menu Items Programmatically using AS 3.0

[bc24fl]

Fair enough.  Here is the code:

The menu is created using:


public  var myMenu:Menu;
//myMenu is globally created


var pt:Point = new Point(event.localX, event.localY);

myMenu = Menu.createMenu(null, myMenuData, false); 
  
pt = event.target.localToGlobal(pt);

myMenu.labelField="@label";

myMenu.show(pt.x, pt.y);

=

After this I add a few event handlers specific to the menu 


Then I add a switch statement to test what item was clicked.  When the
item "Lock / Unlock" is selected I ouput an Alert to make sure It is
working correctly.  Directly after the Alert I run the following:

===
myMenuData.menuitem.(@id=="menuDown")[EMAIL PROTECTED] = "false";

// I ALSO TRIED

myMenu.dataDescriptor.setEnabled(myMenuData.menuDrill.menuDown[0],false);

===


The data is statically defined in mxml like so:
=









   
  


===

I hope this is enough info.  

If someone has another example using a different data source please
post.  I don't have to use an XML formatted data.  

Thanks for the help.

[flexcoders] Anyone know how to reveal the functions in namespaces like c++?

[Sherif Abdou]

 I am using the Flex 4 sdk and Flash Player 10 and almost all the new api has a 
flash10 namespace. in C++ you could do std::(get code hints)
In flex is there a way to do flash10:: and see everything instead of having to 
read the api?

I'm really struggling for help. We have done everything to try and
get a solution to this problem including:

1. Posting on public forums / mailing lists
2. Purchased books on AS3 and Flex
3. Signed up for a year subscription to Lynda.com
4. Purchased support from experts-exchange.com
5. Purchased support directly from Adobe where supposedly it's 3 day
response (no resolution) and we have received no response for a week
(business days).

What in the world am I doing wrong? This question doesn't appear to
be rocket science as I've done this (enable/disable menu items) in
many other programming languages.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Enable / Disable Flex Menu Items Programmatically using AS 3.0

Hi stranger bc24fl,

  Mike Schmalle had proposed you the exact solution, that we are currently
using within our project based on Flex 2 SDK to enable/ disable menu items
in MenuBar component.

   I do not understand without looking at your code, what is going on wrong
with your MenuBar. Can you post a dummy sample of the code online to
illustrate your problem?

  SWF with View source option enabled would be nice.

ps
  Why do you post anonymously to this list, BTW? I would like to reference
you by your name ;)

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Enable / Disable Flex Menu Items Programmatically using AS 3.0

[Tracy Spratt]

Is this the thread where you are not able to use the normal method of
doing this via the dataProvider, but must have some way to do it via the
instantiated elements?  Because you are trying to automate unit testing
or something?

 

Because programatically disabling a particular menu item is easy.  Just
get a reference to the menu item node and set the enabled attribute.  Is
that not acceptable to you?

Programmatically using AS 3.0

 

I'm really struggling for help. We have done everything to try and
get a solution to this problem including:

1. Posting on public forums / mailing lists
2. Purchased books on AS3 and Flex
3. Signed up for a year subscription to Lynda.com
4. Purchased support from experts-exchange.com
5. Purchased support directly from Adobe where supposedly it's 3 day
response (no resolution) and we have received no response for a week
(business days).

What in the world am I doing wrong? This question doesn't appear to
be rocket science as I've done this (enable/disable menu items) in
many other programming languages. 

As you can see I have exhausted every (that I know of) resource. What
else am I to do? My employer is upset and now considering dropping
the language altogether and I don't want that. 

Any advice would BE MUCH APPRECIATED. 

End rant.

The Flex 2/3 Training from the Sourcce books will walk you through the 
process of creating pretty much the type of application you seem to be 
going for.
