[flexcoders] add/remove element for spark list

[breizo]

HI All,
I am trying to add an effect when an element of a spark List is added or 
deleted. It was quite a breeze with Flex 3, but I am pulling my hair with Flex 
4...

See example below of what I am trying to do:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7fa8.html

Jason Graham has an example that approaches it, but it looks like it is not 
working for a List component and it looks like Jason has to go through some 
hoops to get the intended effect.

http://www.flexsamples.com/blog/2010/01/

Are there any hooks to get this done with the new Spark architecture?
E.g. can elementAdded(i:int):void or elementDeleted(i:int):void be used?
Looked at it for a deleted element, but it seems that the itemRenderer is taken 
off the display list even before any effect can be applied...

Thanks

[flexcoders] Create custome column issue

[j2me_soul]

I want to dynamically create a mutil layer headers column by resolve the

Anybody has any better idea ?

 

The dataprivoder like this:

 

  public static var xmlData:XML = 
   




 ...

 ...

 ...
   ;

[flexcoders] Grouping Data for AdvancedDataGrid Tree View

[Cub235]

I have an ArrayCollection filled with flat data from a database containing the 
fields App, Function, Form, Field, and Description and want to display this 
data in a tree structure.  I have done this many times before using the 
grouping feature of AdvancedDataGrid, however this set of data is a bit 
different and I am not getting the results I want.

App is the root of the tree and there is the possibility of having Descriptions 
that are 4 folder nodes deep, as in the Description is specific to a Field.  A 
description can also be a general description of the app itself.  When the 
description is for the app level the data looks like 
"AppName", "", "", "", "Description of Core Application", leaving blank spaces 
in the Function, Form, and Field.  Since the Grouping is set for all 4 fields 
this results in 3 blank folder nodes under the App node before the Description 
for the App is displayed.  What I would like is for the Description to be a 
leaf directly under the App level node.  Basically anywhere there is a blank 
folder eliminating that part of the structure.

So far I have not been able to figure out how to do this, any help or 
recommendations of things to try to accomplish this would be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks,
Jacob

With the following renderer code I could get rid of the warning
(I guess it's not ok to use {data.label} in the renderer),
but unfortunately the "tl2" scrolling problem is still there -

MyRenderer.mxml:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
   verticalScrollPolicy="off" horizontalScrollPolicy="off"
   width="100%" height="100%">








MyTest.mxml:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
creationPolicy="all" 
applicationComplete="init(event);">

@font-face {
src:url("C:\\WINDOWS\\Fonts\\arial.ttf");
fontFamily: myFont;
unicodeRange:
U+0020-U+0040, /* Punctuation, Numbers */
U+0041-U+005A, /* Upper-Case A-Z */
U+005B-U+0060, /* Punctuation and Symbols */
U+0061-U+007A, /* Lower-Case a-z */
U+007B-U+007E, /* Punctuation and Symbols */
U+0410-U+0451, /* cyrillic */
U+2660-U+266B; /* card suits */
}
List, CheckBox, Label, Button, PopUpButton, TileList {
fontFamily: myFont;
fontSize: 24;
}

[flexcoders] Re: PopUpButton with TileList and custom renderer works, but 2 annoyances

[valdhor]

The binding errors are due to your item renderer binding to the data
property which is an object. As the error says you cannot bind to a
plain object.

Modify your class as follows:

 [Bindable]private var myLabel:String;

 public override function set data(value:Object):void
 {
 super.data = value;
 if(value != null)
 {
 myLabel = data.label;
 }
 }

 

As to the scrolling problem, I couldn't see why that was happening. Play
around with the renderer a bit and you might figure it out.

Re: [flexcoders] Can i view the output panel in a stand alone swf? (like throw new error)

[Willy Ci]

We have this problem before, what I did was setup debug mode,
then user add debug=true at end of URL, there will be a new tab add to the
UI,
in there I add two textAreas, one is log of all the input data,
other one is all the output data.

other developers love it, they can see all the data/request in/out,
very easy to point out who is the bad guy. :P

Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] RichTextEditor + CSS Style + Embeded Font - nothing works as should...

[Alex Harui]

My guess is that the mx:Text has a fontFamily of Myriad Pro so it is set up to 
display embedded fonts.  All fonts used in htmlText must be embedded if the 
fontFamily on the component is embedded, and vice-versa.

I think what breaks it is the combination of font-familt : Arial and the use

2) When using embeded fonts, the embeded font appears in the RichTextArea font

3) settings default values via an embeded style (see previous example)

font-size:26;

While this works, the htmlText output of the editor when used inside a

removing the CSS font-face :

.rteStyle
{

fixed the rendering but .. breaks the initialization of the RichTextEditor...

It now displays as the selected font "Myriad Pro" (an embeded font i am using), 
the font size to default 13 and the color to default white. Typing the first 
character inide it it fixes the defaults to 26, black... Changing from Myriad 
to Arial makes the htmlText of the Text field to disappear again... Plus Myriad 
disappears from the font selector ...

Has anybody managed to use The richTextEditor ever? Am i doing something wrong? 
IS IT REALLY SO BADLY IMPLEMENTED?

Just add your own popup window with a text area and add output to it.

Is it possible to display output in this panel and not just catch errors? So
