[flexcoders] OlapDataGrid calculated column % of total?
... a percentage aggregator that would calculate what percentage the value is of the entire value of that particular row or column Sreenivas said... This is difficult to achieve in the current OLAP implementation because the total value for the row or column gets generated in the end where as the values of the individual cells needs to get computed before it. So it requires support for lazy evaluation. I need to do this can anyone explain lazy evaluation or point me in a direction where this can be done? TIA, Mic.

Anyone care to suggest a UK based printing operation with a good print service using an API? I'm finding it quite hard to find out who's offering such services. I think smugmug is popular in the US, but may not be so popular here. Thanks, Paul
Re: [flexcoders] Re: a simple way to search within a datagrid
Great!.
The filter function is really handy and its very fast aswell. The
example searches every column and row of data quite fast so if you one
ned to search one column it will be even faster.

one thing though... i have no idea how that code works. i know how

[flexcoders] Re: Creating Resize Handles
I should have done a debug and walked in through, but my issue has to do
something with the creation of the tool and when its created in the marks
layer of Flare.
I had to do the following:
tool = new TransformTool();
tool.moveEnabled = false;
tool.skewEnabled = false;
tool.registrationEnabled = false;
tool.constrainScale = true;
tool.maxScaleX = 2;
tool.maxScaleY = 2;
//tool.scaleWithRegistration = scale_registration.selected;
_vis.marks.addChild(tool);
tool.x = _targ.x;
tool.y = _targ.y;
tool.target = _targ;
My issue before was I was assigning the target of the tool then doing addChild.
Which even though I had a reference to targ to pass in I guess it makes sense
that the tool needs to be added the marks layer before assigning a target so as
to understand its boundaries and what not.
So problem solved. Thanks for your help, though.

RE: [flexcoders] x and y localToGlobal
If tool and targ have the same parent, then a simple assignment of the x,y should be good enough, assuming that both are drawing into positive coordinates only. If you've got something drawing into negative coordinates because it is centering and rotation, then you need more calculations. If their parents are different, and it sound like they are, then if targ is from a mouseEvent, the mouseEvent's stageX/Y should be good enough to back calculate using globalToLocal. Note that for a mouseEvent, the event.target could be a sub-component and thus not have the same parent as the other.

If you have a SWF with symbols, unless you need to control scaling or use styles or run script, it should be more efficient to just embed the symbol.
