[flexcoders] cellRender NumericStepper

[AC]

Hello
I am trying to create a numeriStepper control as a cellRenderer
component within a grid. While doing this I have come across a
problem, whenever I change the value of numericStepper it fails to
retain its new value and restores itself back to its original
DataGrid.dataProvider value on subsequent `focusIn' event. 

Anybody know how I can get around this issue?

I would also like to modify the value of a neighbouring cell in the
grid based on the newly selected/incremented value. All help appreciated.

Thank you.

[flexcoders] Cursor change problem

[AC]

Probably an easy question for those who know...

I'm trying to change the default cursor to a hand cursor when hovering
over a component. The component is based on the VBox. 

I want to use the Flexs hand-cursor icon, which appears within
MovieClips components e.g.  Buttons when "useHandCursor" property is
set, and not have to create my own icon. 

Can't find this in the docs.

Is there something like "setHandCursor()" and "removeHandCursor()"
within flex?

setCursor(cursorSymbol:String, priorityLevel:Number, xOffset:Number,
yOffset:Number)

All help is appreciated.

Creating nested controls

[AC]

Hello

I have three Objects; 2 HBoxes which are populated with children at
runtime, and a DataGrid. At runtime, I am trying to create a parent
control (VBox) which contains all three of these controls.

The two HBoxes are populated with child controls using
createChild(...) method. Once this is done I need to add these HBox
container controls to a parent VBox control (at runtime). How do I
achive this? Is there a method such as "addControl(...);" I've been
through the docs, can't seem to find such a method, am I missing
something here?

All Help is appreciated. 

Re: Creating nested controls

[AC]

Hi

Background: I have created a control which displays a DataGrid with a
header and footer show simple information such as a title and a time
stamp. It is possible to scroll the grid and print each row of data
held in the grid. (Resizing of the grid is not possible as it messes
up the printing).

I am now trying to create the same control at runtime, this control is
NOT a "visible" UI component that can be view in the application, its
purpose it to be a print format control. This print control is a VBox
containing a HBox, DataGrid and an other HBox, inturn each HBox
contains 2 lables (making a total of four labels). To build this
control at design time is very straight-forwards, however, I am trying
to accomplish this, in memory, at runtime essentially a non-visual
control, and then send it to print. 

Is this at all possible in flex?

Help Systems integration advice

[AC]

Hello

I am trying to integrate a help system with a flex app am currently
developing. I am currently evaluating Robohelp (FlashHelp; as it's a
MM product !!), is there an elegant way of calling FlashHelp files
from within flex without having to go out to javascript. Ideally via
ActionScript. 

Has anyone done anything like this with their flex apps?
Thoughts, suggestions, code snippets are very welcome especially from
the MM people. 

:-)

Help with effects

Hi 

Is there a way of knowing/ being notified when and effect (such as
resize) has ended.
I guess what I am looking for is an event which tells me when the
effect has ended.

Any help is appreciated.

Ali i've just phoned you, but you weren't there. looks like you're

Re: Advanced Printing Question

[AC]

Hi, 

As a simple test, I have tried this a while back, and found that it's
not feasible. 

I am unable to do this as I will have over several hundred app screens
when the application is finally build. This approach, if it worked
correctly, would require a lots a print layout screens, in my case
almost one for one. This is not acceptable, an is the reason why I
want to know what I am trying, is it feasible,

The idea is: If I can programmatically build a complex nested control
(eg Lables inside HBox, which are in turn inside VBox which can have a
variety of different sibling controls) and then send it to the print
to SUCCESSFULLY print, I would save a lot of work and maintenance
issues in the long run.

Help and guidance from everyone is appreciated.

Regards
:-)

Printing

[AC]

Hello

I'm trying to print a given screen (containing a grid), but in the
print I would like to place a title bar, page numbers, time stamp and
reformat the screen in question. I, however, don't want to create a
separate screen for this. Therefore I am trying to do this in memory;
any ideas, on how I can achieve this, would be most helpful.

Does anyone know if flex printing is going to be improved in the next
version of Flex as it's very inadequate for enterprise application
development at the moment. 

Thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] TextArea help

[AC]

Hello to all flex masters

Can somebody tell me how to programmatically enter a piece of text
into a specific position within a TextArea that already contains a
block of text. 

I have a TextArea containing a block of text. I am trying to insert
additional text into an arbitrary position within the already existing
block of text. I want to select the text insert position using the
MOUSE cursor then click a button to add text to the previously
selected position.

A code example/snippet would be most helpful. 

Thanks in advance

[flexcoders] Re: TextArea help

Matt

The Selection.getCartIndex() doesn't seem to work, I've tried to call
it when I loose or gain focus within the textArea control. 
Irrespective of where the cursor is within the text area the
Selection.getCartIndex() seems to return "0" or "-1"; naturally there
is text inside the text area.

Do you have an instance where it's been used correctly, I been through
the MM web documentation and have failed to get it to work.

I include my test bed. Am I using it correctly?

[flexcoders] Event Listeners; Flex internal question for flex gurus

[AC]

Hello

I have a control which dynamically changes a given control (TextInput
to ComboBox and visa versa) depending on the user selection. This
happens numerous times within the life time applications lifetime. 

The dynamically created control gets event-listeners attached to it. 
When this control is destroyed what happens to the event object that
was attached to it? Should "removeEventListener(...)" be used to
remove the event before the object is destroyed?

If so, can someone tell me is it possible and how can I inspect an
object to see what eventListeners have been added to it? 

Thanks in Advance
AC
