[flexcoders] Re: Embedding HTML page into Flex using Adobe AIR
You have picked something that is not easy to do. You will have to write some sort of HTML parser class that will look through all of the HTML for the a tags and grab the href attribute as well as the id attribute. Then you can add an eventListener for them. One hurdle (amongst many) is going to be with links that perform javascript functions. You will have to figure a way to grab these and perform the javascript. You should probably dig into the XML classes. Of course, a lot of HTML pages are not valid XML. Sorry I don't have any magic powder to help you. I really believe it is going to take a LOT longer than 5 days for this to be implemented. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, shiv_indian shiv_ind...@... wrote: Hi Valdhor, Thanks for showing interest to respond my queries.

In my case, it is much worse. I cant even install it. I tried to install it with many Eclipses in Ubunt 8.04 in my laptop. The fact is that it only runs in Ubuntu 7.04 7.10 according to Adobe's page.

I get the alternative content every time. Now here are my questions, I'm going to try and discover the answers ASAP for them, but if you know anything, could you help me out? Does FlexBuilder for Linux need to be installed on a Europa release? Does FlexBuilder for Linux *require* you to use Flash Player 9 release and debug players?

RE: [flexcoders] Datagrid not updating when dataProvider is changed.
Hmm, in my experience, re-assigning the dataProvider always results in full re-rendering of the DataGrid. See if you can narrow down where the problem is ocurring. Use a bindable var as the dataProvider, or updating the dp in different ways, or not using labelFunction.

Hi all. I have a wierd situation, hopefully someone here can help. I have a DataGrid's dataprovider bound to an myDP ArrayCollection (it is defined as [Bindable]). Each column in the DG has a labelFunction. When I set the myDP values for the first time, everything is sweet, the data is displayed correctly. When I update the myDP with new data, however, everything goes wrong. The labelFunctions still get the stale data (from before the update), and so the grid shows old data. I verified the new data is updated to the DG's dataProvider (added a listener to datagrid for CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE - the new data is updated in the DG dataprovider - checked in event's currentTarget). I can't understand why the dataprovider is updated and still the labelFunction's item:Object contain old data... Any ideas anyone? Thanks, Sefi
[flexcoders] Font loaded by StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(fontName, true) resets any new text formatting set via setTextFormat
Dear all,
I have TextArea component on the Stage with embedded font applied,
then at the runtime I set a bold style to a text inside TextArea to
bold via setTextFormat(newTextFormat) API.
Then, I load at the runtime compiled font from CSS - Vera.swf and my
bold formatting is lost immediately after external font finishes
loading.
Notice, that the second parameter in
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(fontName, update) call is set in
the code to true.
When I change this boolean parameter to false - then I will not
witness that my bold formatting is lost after compiled font finishes
loading at the runtime.
My question, why when update parameter is set to true, I will loose
all my text formatting changes made at the runtime?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to know which DisplayObjects are underneath another?
Overlapped is a little different than 'being at a lower depth.' It looks to me like you're looking for some collision detection in addition to depth sorting, as in if one circle overlaps the other (collides with), then hide the lower one. That's simple if you're comparing two circles. But the moment you get into n-overlapping circles, you're going to have to look into more complex logic, like figuring out which /group/ of circles overlaps, as a subgroup of the whole, and amongst just /those/ circles, hide all those underneath. The best place to start is to look into collision detection routines. First place to look would be the hitTest() method of the DisplayObject class. But that only gives you bounding box collision -- if you're looking for pixel-level collision detection, look into the hitTest() method of the BitmapData class. ___ Joseph Balderson, Flex Flash Platform Developer | joeflash.ca Author, Professional Flex 3 | http://tinyurl.com/profx3book huhgawz wrote: Thanks for you fast response.
