[flexcoders] Intellisense not working in Flash Builder 4 plugin for eclipse

[vishal_sodani]

Hi,

I am not sure why it is so.I am using Flex 3.5 sdk with AIR 2.0 to develop the 
project.

vishal

Re: [flexcoders] Re: textInput databinding

[Brendan Meutzner]

Mark, glad you got it worked out.

However, you need to look at the fact the Spark TextInput extends from
SkinnableTextBase which contains the properties you'd expect.

[mark.embrey]

Bingo! that did it!

the final solution, in my example, is:

text="{myDataProvider.getItemAt(0).name}"


thanks for your help, Oleg, and to everyone who contributed to the conversation.

best,

Mark

Brendan,

Actually, that's where I started, as it worked in Flex 3. The only properties 
of Spark TextInput are:

Yup that seems to be more or less it.

[flexcoders] Re: textInput databinding

[mark.embrey]

Brendan,

I've tried this every which way I can imagine... variable assignment within 
quotes, without quotes, within and without braces, and with and without dot 
notation before item selection.

Going back to the beginning, I'm wondering if there might be another way to get 
the value I want into a variable. Specifically, I'm wondering if I can bind the 
value I want to some other type variable and then copy/change/cast it to a 
String variable.

Any other ideas/suggestions?

thanks, Mark

Re: [flexcoders] Re: textInput databinding

[Oleg Sivokon]

Hi, I think square brackets may be an obstacle here. I think they didn't
always work, or maybe they don't work even now? Anyways, if that's an array
collection, you'd better use getItemAt() and if that's an XML or XMLList,
you'd be better of with the XML / XMLList methods corresponding to what you
wanted to do (like child(), children() and so on).
Also, "data" is often times used in the framework for instances of Object,
which is not bindable because it is not an IEvetnDispatcher. Check that
option too.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: textInput databinding

Why wouldn't you just do this:

Re: [flexcoders] Re: textInput databinding

Mark,

What isn't working... the binding?  What are you getting for your TextInput
text value with the suggestions from Oleg and myself.  You definitely
shouldn't be getting the same issue as you first posted about with these
updates, so where is it falling short now?

[flexcoders] Re: textInput databinding

[mark.embrey]

Actually, as I understand it, I am using ActionScript to create a variable, but 
I am then binding that to an mxml component, no?

anyway, any ideas of how to do this?

thanks!

[Oleg Sivokon]

That won't also work because there's a redundant dot before the bracket. ;)

[flexcoders] Re: textInput databinding

[valdhor]

That would never have worked in Flex 3.

You are trying to use a binding expression in ActionScript code which will 
never work. Binding expressions like that will only work in MXML code.

[Bindable]
public var collection:String = myDataProvider.data.name.[0];

Does that work?

[flexcoders] textInput databinding

[mark.embrey]

Adobe, in their infinite wisdom, removed the "data" property from Spark
TextInput.

There is an example of assigning bindable data to a variable for use in
the text value with Flex 4 at  Binding to an MXML TextInput control
   . I have tried to implement this technique but have
still been unable to get it to work.

When I specify the following:

 [Bindable]
 public var
collection:String="{myDataProvider.data.name.[0]}";

I simply receive the following in my textInput field:


 {myDataProvider.data.name.[0]}

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I might specify a bindable variable
such that it will display as desired ?

(FWIW, this worked like a charm in Flex 3)


thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: Flash Debugger crashing in Firefox?

So, firefox is checking that the Flash plug-in is running. It seemed to me that 
if I opened a new tab and did something else for awhile and then came back to 
the tab later that it showed the plug-in had crashed. If there is nothing 
happening (Waiting on an event) then Firefox incorrectly assumes the plug-in

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flash Debugger crashing in Firefox?

[Wesley Acheson]

Basically what else will break is firefox automatically checking if a plugin
is responsive.

So if java or flash genuinely crash on you and are not responsive they will
continue to run potentially killing the browser. This isn't as bad as it
seems as this was always the case before firefox 3.6 anyway.

[flexcoders] Re: Flash Debugger crashing in Firefox?

[valdhor]

After a day of trying this "fix", I can confirm that it works. Of course, I 
don't know what else it will break ;-}

Re: [flexcoders] Loaded SWF loses nested child instance name

[Oleg Sivokon]

Nope, not really, what happens is like this: the document class is a sprite,
which has some code in it, which is called first in the application and this
class is automatically added to stage, if it is not loaded. However, if the
SWF is loaded, then the class isn't automatically added to stage, however,
the constructor is executed before that.
Now, Flash will create variables and assign the library instances to those
variables if you put those instances on the stage, however, if you turn off
the "automatically declare stage instances", Flash will not create the
corresponding variables for them (and so you will get an option to define
them yourself in your class. You don't need to initialize those variables to
anything, Flash will initialize them to the timeline placed instances of the
same name.

Re: [flexcoders] Loaded SWF loses nested child instance name

[Clark Stevenson]

Thanks for your quick reply Oleg as always.

I have been looking for ways to make this happen over the last few hours.

My latest brainwave (pathetic guess attempt) was a Document class called
Main which looked something like this:

public var itemRef:MovieClip = MovieClip(this.item);
public var colorRef:MovieClip = MovieClip(itemRef.color);
public var overlayRef:MovieClip = MovieClip(itemRef.overlay);

I dont really understand the document class as Flash isnt really my working
tool. However, i assumed this would work. If Main.as is a flas document
class, then Main essentially becomes "root" ? In any case

loadedSWF.itemRef = undefined.

Usually we generate SWCs with Actionscript identifiers but since thats a
compile time process?, and this is a runtime process, im a little confused.
All of these swfs simply have:

root
-item
--color
--overlay


I might just be best to stick to depths as long as im clear to explain that
color must always be on the bottom depth. I still dont understand why names
break however.

Cheers,


Clark.
