[flexcoders] Flex Module loading via AMF
Fellow coders. how do i load a module, via AMF?. I'm able to load assests (images,xmls,swfs..etc) via the usage of HttpService with an amf channel, but fail to find a way to load modules. The queston of why i'm doing this: AMF is supposed to be faster when dealing with binary data and so if i can load my swfs from my server via AMF(using BlazeDs), i can make my application load faster. Please correct me if i'm wrong. Currenlty i use ModuleLoader to do the loading and everything works well, except that my big application is taking a a bit more time to load than desired. /Shyam

I'm not sure how SHOW would help me as I want to make everything happen
before rendering the child.
As an experiment, I made the child createComponentsFromDescriptors and called
validateNow() at the viewstack level. I also replaced the event listener with
a timer since I have no idea what event to watch.
All my attempts to make the child render itself aren't working- even if the
timer waits for several seconds to allow an empty view to render, it still
won't show up until after sliding in. Even once I get this working, I still
won't know what event to listen for to know when the child's children are
created. There's the lovely childrenCreationComplete event, but that's only
dispatched for creation types of none and queued.
Here's my current code:
override public function set selectedIndex(value:int):void
{
_lastIndex = selectedIndex;
if(value != _newIndex value != _lastIndex value = 0 _lastIndex = 0)
{
_newIndex = value;
var targetChild:Container = getChildAt(value) as Container;
if (targetChild.mx_internal::numChildrenCreated 0)
{
targetChild.createComponentsFromDescriptors(true);
validateNow();
_creationTimer = new Timer(3000,1);
_creationTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,child_creation,false,0,true);
_creationTimer.start();

Out of the box when using deferred instantiation the ViewStack was designed

If you only slide 'out' it should work fine, if you want to slide 'in' or
both 'in' and 'out' you need to roll you own version of ViewStack and build
in the support.
This is something we have done, though I can't really help with the code
because of copyright.
You need to override selectedIndex, commitSelectedIndex, and commitProperties
as well as add a function to init the selected child container.
Its not really difficult, you should take a look at the adobe code in the
ViewStack and basically emulate that.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Trying to convince people to develop with Flex
While I agree that building out something would be great.

I tried that but it will not correctly align the tag name to the left and the number of posts to the right.

[flexcoders] TextInput control *inside* of a combobox's dropdown
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I have -- I need
to wire up an interface which calls for a ComboBox where the first item
in the dropdown is a TextInput control which remains static (ie. the
TextInput is always the first item in the list, even when the list is
scrolled).
I've tried a few methods, here's one of which I've had marginal success:
code for the MXML Component ComboBox:
mx:ComboBox xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
creationComplete=init()
mx:Script
![CDATA[
private function init():void {
var dropDownFactory:ClassFactory = new
ClassFactory(MyCustomList);
dropDownFactory.properties = { height: 100 };
this.dropdownFactory = dropDownFactory;
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:ComboBox
code for the AS3 list class for dropdown:
public class MyCustomList extends List
{
private var input:TextInput;
public function MyCustomList() {
input= new TextInput();
// event listeners styles here
addChild(input);
}
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void {
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
// position TextInput above the list
input.move(0,-input.height);
}
[/code]
My main problem here is that the dropdown opening and closing causes
issues with the text input control (because I have to move the text
input to position the entire dropdown, it looks strange):
[ combo box ]-- the combobox
-
[ text input]-- the text input as the first item in dropdown
[ all items ]-- all the items in the combo box here
I know I can mark the combobox editable, but this isn't an option for me
(its unfortunately beyond my control). The list involves custom sorting
methods and a built in search (from the text input). I was wondering if
anyone has ever come across a similar situation or experienced how I
could do this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
[flexcoders] Re: Extending ToggleButtonBar to Allow for Multiple Labels on A Button
I'm not sure if this went through. So apologies in advance if you have received this twice. I have already given that a shot. I calculated the appropriate number of characters needed and subtracted the number of characters in the tagname to get how many spaces to add. Due to the variances in letter widths, it doesn't align the tagname to the left and the post num to the right correctly. I would like it to align as if it were in two different text fields within a HBOX. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Fotis Chatzinikos fotis.chatzini...@... wrote: Why do not you simply create the needed label (tagname + possible space chars + numberOfPosts)?

Well, you are talking about a Button, so either extent Button and ToggleButtonBar, or you can do it a lot easier using a HorizontalList and itemRenderer.

Re: [flexcoders] Exposing a swc from a library swc
I would expect there to be a way to say Combine this swc and these classes into a new swc; but I've never had to do it. Will the include-classes compiler argument do it? ( http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=compilers_14.html ) When creating a Flex Library Project, you have to explicitly select the classes that show up in the swc. Using the Flex Builder 'options' there is no way to specify classes / files that are not in the current project. It doesn't delve into SWCs in the library path. I bet the include-classes directive would solve this. If not, you can cheat it. Create a dummy class and add it into the SWC library. Then create an instance of every class not being included in there. The Flex Compiler will say Hold up, I need this class too and add it in to the SWC. It is clearly a kludge, but I'm pretty sure it works. I'd check for a command line compiler option first, though. You can even use the excludeclass metadata class to keep your dummy out of code hinting. migchulo wrote: I am not sure if it's possible, but I was thinking that maybe there is a attribute in the manifest.xml. thanks migchulo wrote: I am trying to create a library swc that contains all my images, utility and common classes which are shared across multiple projects.
