Re: [flexcoders] repeater width problem
mx:Label doesn't wrap the contents.
Use ms:Text instead.

Subject: [flexcoders] repeater width problem
Hello Friends,
I am trying to implement one functionality using repeater.
But facing one problem.
Code snapshots.
public var ArrData : Array = [{label: 'Option 1', value:'opt1'},{label:
'Option 2', value:'opt2'},{label:'Option 3',
value:'opt3'},{label:'Option 4', value:'opt4'}];
mx:HBox width=350 height=30
mx:Repeater id=tRepeater dataProvider={ArrData}
width=100% height=100%
mx:Label text={tRepeater.currentItem.label} /
/mx:Repeater
/mx:HBox
Labels are displed with array data using Repeater inside HBox.
Problem is, Labels go out of the HBox horizontal range.
I wanna to implement, if Hbox width is exceeded, Labels will start
occupying in next row.
Hbox width should be fixed at 350. Vertical Scrolling appear if labels
exceeded from width range.
where I am doing mistake OR missing anything?
Thanks,
Steve.

[flexcoders] Re: repeater width problem
Thanks Rishi.
But my actual problem was with Repeater Container.
I replaced HBox with ToolBar.
So my problem is now solved.
Now my all labels are perfectly occupy in ToolBar.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 4 CSS
Have you tried; This is using flex 4, the following workaround;
Where the image would be the same size as the container
mx:Image id=backgroundImage styleName=backgroundImage
alpha=.8 source={backgroundImage.getStyle('source')}
maintainAspectRatio=false/
then in the CSS, you add the following;
mx|Image.backgroundImage{
source: Embed(/assets/images/someimage.png);
width:580;
height:246;
x:114;
y:161;
border: 1px green solid;
}
You can extend bordercontainer and add code to handle a style change;
public override function styleChanged(styleProp:String):void {
// code to handle element properties and not just styles
// such as x, y, height and width handled in css
}
If you need code example, then just write back to me and I will supply with
what you need, as time permits.

Who would have guessed a simple image would bring Flex to its knees?

[flexcoders] Re: HTTPService DELETE/PUT automatically got changed to GET??
Thanks for the insightful info Peter! --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Peter Coppens pc.subscriptions@... wrote: Fwiw... As far as I know that is indeed still the case. The doc (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/mx/rpc/http/mxml/HTTPService.html) says You use the mx:HTTPService tag to represent an HTTPService object in an MXML file. When you call the HTTPService object's send() method, it makes an HTTP request to the specified URL, and an HTTP response is returned. Optionally, you can pass parameters to the specified URL. When you do not go through the server-based proxy service, you can use only HTTP GET or POST methods. However, when you set the useProxy property to true and you use the server-based proxy service, you can also use the HTTP HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE, and DELETE methods. In general, unless you can get somewhere some server/proxy control, I have found Flex not very useful to talk to a REST like service. Some people have reported success by using http://code.google.com/p/as3httpclientlib/ iso the Flex provided stuff. Personally I have not tried that. As far as I remember it gets tricky as you cannot typically reuse browser managed http resources (cookies, cache, ...). As it might be of interest to you as well.besides the limited HTTP verb support I have lost numerous hours getting HTTP headers across. That is also a non trivial endeavor. What eventually worked out best in my case is to just bite the bullet , shove a proxy in between, and use GET and POST to communicate tunneled real HTTP requests, that are then transformed and forwarded. That is still not perfect if you care about caching and have a need for custom headers, but at least most of it is working. I have always found it a bit ironic that a platform that started it's life as a toolset to develop Rich Internet Applications has such limited support for the internet standard as old as HTTP. Anyway, hth, Peter On 20 Aug 2011, at 00:43, handitan wrote: Hi all, I just would like to get a confirmation. Right now, I have to use 3rd party REST APIs in our Flex app. A bunch of the REST APIs are using DELETE and PUT method. As the title said, they got changed automatically to GET. And from what I gather from this forum somebody said this in 2008: It's a limitation of the browser plugin API unfortunately. Is this still true in Flash Player 10.3? My app is still Flex 3 app with 3.5 SDK. I appreciate any input. Handi @Alex: Yes..yes..I am still using Flex 3.
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 4 CSS
I too have tried in many ways, but could not resolve the problem. Doing few
more tests.
BTW one option is to use addChild();
Something like this.
var image : Image = new Image();
image.source = FSCalc/images/BannerBackground.jpg;
image.scaleContent = true;
image.maintainAspectRatio =false;
image.percentWidth = 100;
image.percentHeight = 100;
PictureBox.addChild(image);
I am eyeing on this post. All the best guys

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 4 CSS
Hello Alex,
Thanks for the note. I am wondering why new release build of flex/spark
does't have this feature? Its up to user whether to use it or not.
Background on components is the basic requirement of many clients now a
days.
Hope in future adobe will implement/add this feature. Thanks for the reply
Alex.
Regards,
Myadi

Jerry, the spark theme doesn’t support backgroundImage. Every capability
has a cost, and we chose not to make the container backgrounds as heavy as
the Halo theme. It doesn’t matter how many lines of code are in the skin if
it doesn’t include the logic to load and position images.

[flexcoders] consistent dynamic layout
Hi All
I've got a minor problem with doing an itemrenderer layout.
I've got an itemrenderer which renders master categories, each of these
master categories then renders a list. My problem comes in with the list and
more specifically it's titles, I'd like to to be dynamic in the sense that
I'd like the items in the list to take up the entire width of the browser.
In order for the layout to be dynamic I'm using the width percentage of the
containing movieclip to set the positioning (width = {this.width * .2})
The problem is that even though the list and it's parent movieclip are the
same size they don't seem to be getting the same value. And therefore my
list items aren't lining up with their title.
Each list has a bunch of titles/descriptors for each item in the list then
the actual item renderer, like this:
s:Group id=catsGroup width=100% height=100%
view:ListHairlineTileBlack left=11 right=11 top=0 alpha=.05
rotation=180 /
s:Group left=80 right=74 top=-25
s:Label text=Accounts left=0 /
s:Label text=Last Update left={this.width * .2} /
s:Label text=Balance left={this.width * .4}/
s:Label text=Available left={this.width * .6} /
s:Label text=Overdraft Limit left={this.width * .8} /
/s:Group
components:ListColumn id=lcActualPlannedColumn
dataProvider={dummyCategories}
left=80 right=74
components:itemRenderer
fx:Component
itemrenderers:AccountDetailsRenderer
data={data} textRollOverColour={outerDocument.textRollOverColour} /
/fx:Component
/components:itemRenderer
/components:ListColumn
/s:Group
inside the code for the list item:
s:Label id=lblCol1 text={detail.accounts} alpha=.8
left=0 color=white /
s:Label text={detail.lastUpdate} left={this.width * .2} /
s:Label text={detail.balance} left={this.width * .4} /
s:Label text={detail.available} left={this.width * .6} /
s:Label text={detail.overdraft} left={this.width * .8} /
does anyone have an suggestion on how I can achieve this layout?
thanks

[flexcoders] XML nodes into multiple views.

[flexcoders] BlazeDS having localhost:8080 hardcoded somewhere?
Hi, I am a newbie working with BlazeDS. We developed an application that uses java backend and BlazeDs to connect to it. I tested several times on my machine and it is working just fine. But it is to be run at several location on different servers and not on a sigle stand alone or a single fixed server. Its basically for a sercver admin kinda stuff. How do I configure blazeDs to work in this sceneriao. Also if I change the localhost in the adressbar to fully-qualified servername in the browser to access the application, it loads the swf and screen. but the calls fail. Error: Send Fail. I also tried to put the stuff on a Liniux box and run, no luck. Same error. Any ideas comments or suggestion. Greatly appreciated. Thanks!! Regards, Venkat
