[flexcoders] Updates Issue in Mozilla ....any thoughts to share???

[akila_ksri]

The application we are developing needs the controls like labels, data 
grid etc., to be updated every second. This works fine without any   
issue in IE 7, but the updates fail to happen in Mozilla most of the 
time. Clearing cache through html does not work!!!
We have to get it working in Mozilla at the earliest.
Any thoughts on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
Waiting for a positive response..

Thanks in advance,
Akila

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Using ActiveXObject with Adobe AIR and Flex

[Johannes Nel]

I suspect this cannot work, mostly since the browser in air would have to be
cross platform and OLE objects are windows based. you can reverse this of
course and embed the whole flex application into a win app as an ActiveX
control and then use browser active X control as well. not nearly as nice
nor neat ofcourse.

I wish I could claim credit, but I'm not the FlexExamples guy.  I was thinking

I also tried adding this to the arrColl_collectionChange function:

if(list.selectedIndex == -1)
{
Alert.show("No items are selected!");
}

But the only time it fires is when the app first loads, presumably
because the list isn't yet populated. If I uncheck all the checkboxes,
it doesn't show. The event in question is the change event of the
checkbox, so it seems to me this ought to work. No?

I did get it to work by modifying as follows:

if(!tArr.length)
{
Alert.show("No items are selected!");
}

RE: [flexcoders] security sandbox violation in standalone player but not in browser

[Alex Harui]

Might be a bug or subtle intended behavior.  Read up on the security doc to see 
if it talks about that case.  For sure, in local sandboxes, you can't back out 
to higher folders using ..\ so maybe that check runs in Standalone player.

Subject: [flexcoders] security sandbox violation in standalone player but not

Our application has been working fine in various browsers. I'm trying to
get it to work in the standalone player (version 9 debug and 10
debug--same behavior--for Linux) for automated testing, but I'm hitting
some security sandbox violations:

*** Security Sandbox Violation ***

Connection to 
http://localhost:8080/truviso/flex/main/../../foo
 halted -
not permitted from http://localhost:8080/truviso/flex/main/main.swf

This relative URL works just fine when loading the .swf through Firefox,
IE, Safari, and Opera. We're using relative URLs because we need to be
able to rename the webapp without rebuilding it. There's a
crossdomain.xml file in truviso/crossdomain.xml and in the root with
wide-open access (for now).

Any ideas why the standalone player is unhappy with this relative URL?
Anything I can do with respect to crossdomain.xml or other security
configuration to get around this?

Re: [flexcoders] trying to put a Degrafa BezierSpline on a Papervision3D Sphere...

[Josh McDonald]

You might need to use a degrafa surface rather than rendering into another
component. If that's not going to do it, I imagine you'll have to have
degrafa render into a bitmapData (or something along those lines) and add an
mx:image with that data set as the source.

Also there's a Degrafa list where you might get a better answer:

Re: [flexcoders] Animated border around thumbnails - similar to MTV header

[Josh McDonald]

I'd make the "border" a Degrafa surface (or just a mx:Box with a border).
Add a moveEffect and a resizeEffect, put it in the same container as the
thumbnails, but last in the list so it'll be on top. If they're in a hbox or
something like that and you don't want to mess up the layout of the
container, set

myBorderComponent.includeInLayout = false;

And it will be in the same container but won't affect the layout. Then,
every time you want to hilight another thumbnail, simply call:

myBorderComponent.move(nextThumbnail.x, nextThumbnail.y);
myBorderComponent.width = nextThumbnail.width;
myBorderComponent.height = nextThumbnail.height;

And the moveEffect and resizeEffect should do the rest.

[flexcoders] trying to put a Degrafa BezierSpline on a Papervision3D Sphere...

[addlistener]

Hi all,

I'm trying to put a Degrafa BezierSpline on a Papervision3D Sphere...

Any idea?

I've made a Canvas with three others, one for a map, a red one and a
empty to receive the BezierSpline



blue



 



  













the spline go in pata (test) but doesn't in pata2.

In fact theTarget (Canvas) is the Material for the 3D Sphere, when
PV3D map the material, the BezierSpline is removed...

Any idea?

[flexcoders] Newbie question: Completion Events or proxy binding for RemoteObject calls

[john.casey64]

I'm working on an application where I build a tree (in actionscript
buildtree()) where I add new leafs from data that is retieve from a
remote call.

Since the buildtree() function deals with the view - I have this coded
in the view mxml. The tree is bound to a XMLListCollection which is
updated by the buildtree() function after a remote value object is updated

The remote RetrieveDataCommand successfully retrieves the data into a
business value object.

What is the correct Cairgorm method for triggering the builtree()
function after the RetrieveDataCommand is complete?

I don't want to pollute my Command logic with any specific calls to
buildtree()

Should I be adding RemoteCommandComplete events to all of my
RemoteCommands? and then set the view logic to listen for them?

I tried to set a Collection.COLLECTION_CHANGE listener on the Business
Value object from my View logic. But it seems to fire before the
ArrayCollection is complete.

I also tried the BindUtils function to bind my buildtree() function to
my value object,  but bindutils only seems to work with MX visual
objects, not actionscript value objects.

Any experts out there? I'm sure there must be a simple solution for this. 

[flexcoders] Animated border around thumbnails - similar to MTV header

[asli_binal]

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for advice on how to easily accomplish the following task.
I already have a Flex app that displays four thumbnail images in a
vbox on the right side, and when I click on one, that image is
displayed in a larger format within the same app (left of the vbox).

What I'd like to do next is place a border/rectangle around the
thumbnail, and have that border move down to the next thumbnail using
a timer. So, I have a couple questions: (see the MTV header)

1. Is it best to use a custom image class with border or is it better
to use drawRect to place a rectangle over the mx:Image? Or use a
TileList instead of vbox and make the timer automatically scroll
through the thumbs?


I basically want to accomplish something similar to the animated
marquee/header on mtv.com (is the effect they use on the images
mx.effects.move?)

...and I'm a beginner with any custom components and animation - so
any clues/help would be appreciated.

Thanks

[flexcoders] security sandbox violation in standalone player but not in browser

[Maciek Sakrejda]

Our application has been working fine in various browsers. I'm trying to
get it to work in the standalone player (version 9 debug and 10
debug--same behavior--for Linux) for automated testing, but I'm hitting
some security sandbox violations:

*** Security Sandbox Violation ***

Connection to http://localhost:8080/truviso/flex/main/../../foo halted -
not permitted from http://localhost:8080/truviso/flex/main/main.swf

This relative URL works just fine when loading the .swf through Firefox,
IE, Safari, and Opera. We're using relative URLs because we need to be
able to rename the webapp without rebuilding it. There's a
crossdomain.xml file in truviso/crossdomain.xml and in the root with
wide-open access (for now).

Any ideas why the standalone player is unhappy with this relative URL?
Anything I can do with respect to crossdomain.xml or other security
configuration to get around this?

Thanks,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Call external App from AIR

[Sam Lai]

> So can "command proxy" execute something I talk above?

Yes it can, because it has full access to the desktop (within user
permissions). I'm not sure if Java has the ability to use ActiveX
objects, but I believe it does. There is a .NET command proxy concept
out there too, but it isn't as developed/advanced as the Java one.

Yes, as long as the server you are uploading to has a crossdomain.xml
file that allows access.

Personally, given you have accepted the constraints of Windows only,
and are willing to have a desktop app, I'd take a look at creating a
Java/.NET app instead if you have the skills available there. It would
be a lot easier and have access to ActiveX, and with WPF, you even get
the cool UI stuff that Flex/Flash has. Both Java and .NET apps have
the ability to launch from the browser too - Java Web Start and
ClickOnce respectively.

Silverlight won't help here btw, only full blown WPF apps will.

Yes, now I am working with Flex builder 3. If I create desktop

Is there an easy, standard way to do this? I've tried using the
removedFromStage event, but that event gets fired when an AIR/Flex app
is minimized for some reason. I added an if-block checking if the app
was minimized, but I'm not comfortable with this, just in case there
are other times when removedFromStage is fired when it isn't removed
from stage.

P.S. Craig's original email was only sent to me, so I've repeated it
below - nothing personal/confidential there, so I assumed it was a
mistake.

Re: [flexcoders] "flex builder could not publish the project source: null"

[Joseph Balderson]

This just happened to me on a Flex project in FB 3.0.1. What cleared it up was 
I 
had downloaded a linked folder from a repository which was broken because I 
didn't have the same reference as the person who created it. Once I deleted the 
linked folder it exported the source just fine.

[flexcoders] Re: Validating Checkboxes in an item renderer

[stldvd]

I also tried adding this to the arrColl_collectionChange function:

if(list.selectedIndex == -1)
{
Alert.show("No items are selected!");
}

But the only time it fires is when the app first loads, presumably
because the list isn't yet populated. If I uncheck all the checkboxes,
it doesn't show. The event in question is the change event of the
checkbox, so it seems to me this ought to work. No?

I did get it to work by modifying as follows:

if(!tArr.length)
{
Alert.show("No items are selected!");
}

[flexcoders] Re: Validating Checkboxes in an item renderer

[stldvd]

Hi Alex,

I've been studying your code at 
http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/01/27/using-a-checkbox-control-as-a-list-item-renderer-in-flex/

You use the filter method on the underlying array (source) for the
arrayCollection datasource of the list. The signature of your function is:

private function selectedOnly(item:ListItemValueObject, idx:uint,
arr:Array):Boolean {
return item.isSelected;
}

The filter method, according to the Flex docs, 'executes a test
function on each item in the array and constructs a new array for all
items that return true for the specified function.' That I understand,
and I can see that you're being returned an array, tArr. But how are
you able to call a function with that signature and know that all
three parameters are going to be passed in? I tried adding a fourth
parameter - , porky:String - and it broke. How does this method know
that idx:uint is OK, but porky:String isn't?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Properly remove children

[Paul Andrews]

I think Sam is right. The garbage collector won't collect objects until 
there are no references to them. If you don't use weak references you'll 
have to remove every listener first before the object can be garbage 
collected.

Removing an object from a container is only part of the story. Objects can 
exist when not on the display list or a child of a container.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Properly remove children

[Sam Lai]

I think you need to use weak references when adding event listeners.
Set the last parameter of addEventListener to true when adding event
listeners.

Alternately, you can remove event listeners when the forms are removed
using the removeEventListener function.

The flex profiler is useful here too to see what's not being garbage collected..

[flexcoders] Datagrid duplicate row

[freak182]

Hello Tracy,
Im experiencing same problem too, added that in my case the data in
first
row was repeated in next row when i insert data on database and load all
data in datagrid.(although the list is < 10)

I use remoteobject to save and get all the list of data. When i save the
data and get successful save, I simply call the ListEvent, in the result
handler, for dispatch and update the arraycollection of data.

Im using a renderer to format the display of date. here is the code
snippet
in datagrid column and renderer itself:









...in the renderer..

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
 "
creationComplete="formattingDate();" >







...im just wondering why the data in first got duplicated in next row?
does
datagrid has some sort of cache? becuase from my previous code (e.g user
listng) the datagrid just work fine everytime i save and get the list of
data.the data i just save was reflected on the datagrid (no
duplication).

Thanks a lot.
Cheers.

[flexcoders] Re: Properly remove children

[markgoldin_2000]

Ok, here what I am getting.
I have a container that I am adding different forms to at the run 
time. These forms are all based on the same class though.
So, before I add a new form I am removing current form using:
container.removeAllChildren();
each form when created is adding a custom event listener to a parent -
the container. When a custom event is triggered every form that was 
created (regardless that it was removed after) gets this custom event 
to handle.

[flexcoders] Re: BlazeDS - Best practice for determining if server session is invalid.

[rydellfinn]

Seth - 

Thanks for the detail - I just noticed your answer on this one over
break.  

Setting login-after-disconnect to true does sound appealing.  I'm was
curious, where are the credentials stored to allow the reconnection? 
In the server session or on the client?

Also - I did successfully get the "Client.Authentication" error when I
hit a service after the session timed out.  That helps.  I was
interested in catching the timeout before it occurs so I can warn the
user before the timeout occurs.

To implement this, I was thinking of setting a client-side timer that
would pop up a warning message on an interval that is smaller than the
server timeout length.  Is there a better way?

Thanks again for your help!

[flexcoders] Anyone written a ComboBox that can take an AdvancedDataGrid as a dropdown?

[Pan Troglodytes]

I find myself in the position of really needing a ComboBox that can take an
AdvancedDataGrid descendant in the dropdownFactory.  Unfortunately, ComboBox
is pretty hardcoded to use ListBase and AdvancedListBase does not inherit
from it.  Recreating a DataGrid version of my existing ADG descendant will
be a total pain.

Unfortunately, CombBox is written in such a way that mx_internals and other
muck is threaded throughout, making it difficult if not impossible to just
clone and replace references to ListBase.

Anyone here already tilted at this windmill?

[flexcoders] LineSeries dataFunction to return Array instead of a String

[Chad Callahan]

The specifications for the LineSeries dataFunction states that the
function is to return an Object.  From what I gather, it assumes that
the Object is one single data point.  However, my data is grouped a
little differently.  I would like to be able to graph my data to look
like this (this is not a screenshot of an actual Flex chart, just
something drawn in illustrator):
 
http://screencast.com/t/culVkHdhG
 
My data is in the form of (hopefully this notation is readable - I'm
just conveying nested arrays and objects):
 
[{month:String, numbers:[{date:Date, number:Number}]}]
 
This is the only way that I can think of to sort my data in order to get
the desired affect in the above provided image link.  The 'number'
property is the property that I want to create the LineSeries.  However,
since the 'number' property is inside of the 'numbers' Array - I can't
figure out how to get this to work because I cannot get the LineSeries
to look at nested properties.
 
Any examples or suggestions?
 
Thank you,
Chad

Re: [flexcoders] DataGrids, itemRenderers and dataChange events

[Guy Morton]

Thanks Tracy!

Yes, I was expecting it to dispatch an event because my data is an  
ArrayCollection, however now I know that modifying my underlying  
Objects' values via properties doesn't trigger the necessary change  
events. :-)


Manually calling itemUpdated on the Object that I've changed does the  
trick though. I'll also look at setItemAt. The reason I'm directly  
accessing the Object's properties is that I based this code on an  
example from the docs, so I blame Adobe if that's not best practice! :-)

If you use the correct API to update the data, then Flex will  
dispatch the necessary events.  Common API methods include  
setItemAt(), addItem(), … using the API is the best practice.




If you manually update a dataProvider item, say by assigning a value  
to a property, then the necessary events are not dispatched.  The  
collection.itemUpdated() method can be used in this case.




See the recent thread “Slow datagrid updates” for example code.

Subject: [flexcoders] DataGrids, itemRenderers and dataChange events



Hello

I hope someone here will be good enough to help me. I have a DataGrid,
and a custom itemRenderer that shows an image depending on the value
of the data in that cell. The trouble is that I am updating the value
of the data in that cell when I do an update to one of the other cells
in that row (via a different itemEditor, triggered by the itemEditEnd
event), but that change is not being shown in the cell in question
unless it gets redrawn by some other means, eg scrolling the field out
of view and back in will show the new data, as will rearranging the
columns (presumably because both of these actions force a redraw of
the data in the cell in question).

Is there a way to force the updated value to trigger a redraw in the
cell? My renderer is set up to catch the dataChange event but that
doesn't seem to get dispatched unless one of the aforementioned things
is done to force it.

Am I missing something here? Or is this a flaw in Flex?

To remove an object visually, you'll have to remove it from the
"display list" by calling removeChild or removeChildAt on its parent.

Your code might still have references to the object. To really make
sure that the object is no longer accessible and therefore eligible
for garbage collection, you'll have to release all references to it.
For example, if a variable myButton which is a private member of your
Applciation points to a Button instance you create somewhere, you'll
have to null out that reference.

  someContainer.removeChild(myButton);
  myButton = null;

[flexcoders] CartesianDataCanvas Drawing a Rectagle from Edge to Edge

[pratikshah83]

Hey guys

I have been using DataDrawingCanvas, which is an awesome component,
but unfortunatly no longer works in the constraints with Flex 3. For
which i've been trying to port the code over to use the new
CartesianDataCanvas which is the replacement (or update) to it.

With DataDrawingCanvas, there was a simply definition of EDGE, which
allowed to draw from a data point to the edge of the component,
however this no longer exists in the cartesiandatacanvas, as all
points are described in terms of data, or offsets of the data. Is
there anyway to get this functionality back?

I can't rely on having set maximum minimum on the axis, and drawing
solely in data points, because I need the padding that only computed
maximum minimum values that the graphing provides.

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

There are 2 types of cursors in Flex: system cursors -- the arrow, the
hand, the I-beam, etc. -- and custom cursors. Custom cursors are
really graphics you display in place of the system cursor (which is
hidden) at the current mouse position. There are a number of problems
with this: you don't know when the system cursor has changed from an
arrow to an I-beam, for instance, and it's often hard to keep up with
the current mouse position, so sometimes the custom cursor might lag.
I avoid using custom cursors in my applications for these reasons.

All that said, I think if you want to show the hand cursor
conditionally you'll have to do what you're thinking: switch cursors
on roll over and roll out.

You could consider putting the zip component into an RSL. Before a
module that needs the component is loaded, you load the RSL for the
component in the main application (so it's available for the module
later).

An RSL is basically a SWF that contains a bunch of classes. You can
load the SWF when you need one of the classes. So a component that is
shared between multiple modules could be part of an RSL. (For what
it's worth, the Flex framework is also available as an RSL.)

[flexcoders] scriptable flex testing (for continuous integration)

[Maciek Sakrejda]

Earlier today, a fellow flexcoder asked about flex unit testing
frameworks. After looking at the suggestions, I realized that I need
similar advice, but focused on tests that can be run automatically, (as
opposed to running interactively).

It seems fluint is pretty slick, but the ant-based test runner seems to
be AIR-based and I'm reluctant to introduce that dependency. I really
want to have ant-based (or some kind of scripted) automation tests that
we can plug into our CI system. Having GUI runners is nice for instant
gratification, but I think scriptable runners are far more useful in the
long term.

Flexunit itself (hence flexmonkey) seems to do this right, but it looks
like it uses the standalone player? This is the blog post I'm referring
to:
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/pmartin/archives/2006/06/flexunit_ant.html

I'd like to test through the browser plugin (and not the standalone
player) if possible, since we've hit some browser-specific issues
before.

Does anyone have more experience with this method of running FlexUnit
tests (or any other kind of flex testing framework)?

  return noVowels.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * (noVowels.length)));

This gives a fair chance to all letters. With Math.round, B and Z were
being slightly discriminated against.

It's in mx.core.UITextField.

I don't think you can get rid of it easily or at all.

RE: [flexcoders] DataGrids, itemRenderers and dataChange events

[Tracy Spratt]

Flex uses events to cause the UI to update in response to changes in the
underlying data.

 

If you use the correct API to update the data, then Flex will dispatch
the necessary events.  Common API methods include setItemAt(),
addItem(), ... using the API is the best practice.

 

If you manually update a dataProvider item, say by assigning a value to
a property, then the necessary events are not dispatched.  The
collection.itemUpdated() method can be used in this case.

 

See the recent thread "Slow datagrid updates" for example code.

Subject: [flexcoders] DataGrids, itemRenderers and dataChange events

 

Hello

I hope someone here will be good enough to help me. I have a DataGrid, 
and a custom itemRenderer that shows an image depending on the value 
of the data in that cell. The trouble is that I am updating the value 
of the data in that cell when I do an update to one of the other cells 
in that row (via a different itemEditor, triggered by the itemEditEnd 
event), but that change is not being shown in the cell in question 
unless it gets redrawn by some other means, eg scrolling the field out 
of view and back in will show the new data, as will rearranging the 
columns (presumably because both of these actions force a redraw of 
the data in the cell in question).

Is there a way to force the updated value to trigger a redraw in the 
cell? My renderer is set up to catch the dataChange event but that 
doesn't seem to get dispatched unless one of the aforementioned things 
is done to force it.

Am I missing something here? Or is this a flaw in Flex?

That's a good catch. You're right, it's because of parentMap not
getting updated on the first drag-drop. You'll see that the
HierarchicalCollectionView:collecitonChangeHandler has a call to
updateLength when the event kind is "update", but it has been
commented. I suspect that may be the reason for this bug. Anyhow, for
now, here's a workaround:

 

 function doWorkaround() {
   var e = new CollectionEvent("collectionChange");
   e.kind = "update";
   myXMLListCollection.dispatchEvent(e);
 }

See if that works.

This ought to be logged in the Flex bugbase.

[flexcoders] Re: FLEX soap client and php soap client

I would have to agree. AMF is much easier to get up and running and (I
feel) is more object oriented.

I would be inclined to use WebOrb or ZendAMF (Part of the Zend Framework):

Yea, if you're WSDL is public facing, I'll see if I can create a Flex Client
against it as well.
On a similar note... Have you looked into AMFPHP (http://www.amfphp.org/)?
 SOAP is a great standard but, like everything, there are issues with it.
 If you are only using your SOAP webservice to talk to Flex / Flash
front-ends, then I'd recommend having a look at AMF.  However, if you're
using your webservices with other technologies, SOAP might be a better
option.

[flexcoders] Re: Working with nested Buttons

[Todd]

I solved my problem.  On the nested-child button, all I had to do was
set buttonMode="true" and useHandCursor="true".  It wasn't enough to
just have the LinkButton and assume that it would behave as a button.

All works perfectly now with my complex button skin.

[flexcoders] Working with nested Buttons

[Todd]

Hello,
  I have a custom Button control that uses extensive skinning (done in
Flash, and linked through the Button's skin-style) to change the skins
for mouse over, down,etc.  The custom Button can contain multiple
child objects, like other LinkButtons.
  I can't get the sub-button to trigger, though.  On the parent
button, I've fiddled with buttonMode and mouseChildren properties.
  So, I tried making the Parent a VBox (or any type of container)
instead of a Button.  Doing this enables me to now get the child
buttons to trigger properly.  However, I've lost the button skinning
for mouse Over, down, disabled, click, etc...  The skin is a
programatic skin that has implementations for downSkin,
selectedOverSkin, overSkin, selectedUpSkin, etc...

  What would be the preferred way to get the HBox (or any container)
to act like a button with custom button skinning, and at the same time
be able to have nested buttons that would take priority when the mouse
hovers over them?  I'd like to think I'm missing something trivial in
getting this to work because it seems like a pretty common use case.

Thanks for any suggestions.

[flexcoders] Re: Can only seem to connect to flash remoting service in air running charles

[valdhor]

So, using Charles it works normally and goes to the function with the
resultEvent. Without Charles, it looks like it is getting a faultEvent
and your fault handler function setting is incorrect.

I think you need to fix the faultEvent handler before moving on to why
it is getting a faultEvent.

Hi,

We use Prana dependency injection with Cairngorm to wire

Elegant, powerful and not too difficult to set up.

The command proxy allows you to send calls to external code to do
things you can't do in AIR via sockets. Effectively, it is a web
server on the desktop. It will work, but you don't get the nice AIR
experience because the command proxy isn't an AIR app, and AIR apps
can't execute programs on the desktop.

Well how is your prototype working now? I assume you are using Flex
and running the flex app in IE, and calling javascript in IE which in
turn calls the Word ActiveX object to do stuff and return to you. Just
distribute the .htm and .swf. But it will only work on Windows, and
only if Office is installed.

Nope - only with docx files - the new format.

[flexcoders] Spurious truncateToFit behavior when scaling TabNavigator

[x77686d]

On one of our Flex applications we use scaleX and scaleY at the
application level to zoom in/out on the whole thing.  That works
pretty well except for one problem: there's a TabNavigator and we see
spurious truncateToFit behavior on the tab labels, turning "Some Tab"
into "Some T...", for example.  I say it's spurious because scaling at
1.2 and 1.3 works fine, but at 1.25 we get the ellipses.  I haven't
investigated the root cause but I speculate it's a rounding issue of
some sort. 

Does anybody know of a good way to get rid of the ellipses?  I see
that the IUITextField in Button does have truncateToFit but I'm not
aware of a good way to get at it.  (Could reflection be used?)

Any suggestions would be welcome.

of the data in that cell. The trouble is that I am updating the value  
of the data in that cell when I do an update to one of the other cells  
in that row (via a different itemEditor, triggered by the itemEditEnd  
event), but that change is not being shown in the cell in question  
unless it gets redrawn by some other means, eg scrolling the field out  
of view and back in will show the new data, as will rearranging the  
columns (presumably because both of these actions force a redraw of  
the data in the cell in question).

Is there a way to force the updated value to trigger a redraw in the  
cell? My renderer is set up to catch the dataChange event but that  
doesn't seem to get dispatched unless one of the aforementioned things  
is done to force it.

Am I missing something here? Or is this a flaw in Flex?

RE: [flexcoders] Dragging to Super Tab Navigator

[Yves Riel]

It's not clear where you want the dragged image to appear. Is it on the
tab itself or on the container contained in the SuperTabNavigator? If
it's on the container, then just implement drag and drop operations for
your container and that should do the trick. If you are looking to drag
the image on top of the SuperTabNavigator's SuperTabBar and expect it to
create a container that will hold the image, then it's a bit more
complicated.
 
The SuperTabNavigator, through its SuperTabBar handles the drag and drop
operations but only of SuperTab controls. Anything else is ignored. If
you want the SuperTabBar to handle other type of drag and drop
operation, you'll need to extend the classes or listen to the drag and
drop events of the SuperTabBar. If you use the mx_internal namespace,
you can get a handle on the SuperTabBar of the SuperTabNavigator by
using the method getTabBar() and casting the returned object to a
SuperTabBar. Just remember that you cannot add an Image as a child of a
SuperTabNavigator, only Containers can be child of this object.
 
Hope it helps!

Subject: [flexcoders] Dragging to Super Tab Navigator



I have a grid this is filled with images. I have a SuperTabNavigator 
on the same screen. How do I set it up, so I can drag images to each 
tab in the navigator? That is, if I have ten tabs, I want to drag 
different objects to each one. 

The dragging works fine to a separate canvas, but how do I add a 
separate canvas to each tab? I think I need to do something at the 
point where the child is added that shows the contents for each tab, 
but I'm missing something. 

Thank you so much

If you implemented le login functionality, then you should have some
mechanism (httpservice, rpc ...) to exchange data with the server to send
login info and get a response back. Just use the same mechanisms to send a
request and get the data back.
