Hi guys,

I want to filter an arraycollection using a combobox to return data for sev=
eral countries.  But I only want values shown if they are greater than 9.  =
Any ideas why the following code wouldn't work?


private function filter(item:Object): Boolean {
var s:String =3D cb1.selectedItem.valueOf();
return item.s  9;
}

private function startFilter(): void {
myAC.filterFunction =3D filter;
myAC.refresh();
sortThis();
}


If I type in 'return item.Brazil  9;' it works.  But if I select Brazil in=
 the combobox it does not... even though I can pass the variable s to a lab=
el, which returns 'Brazil' properly.  Seems like 's' variable is fine, but =
the item.s framework is flawed.

Any help much appreciated.  Thanks

Alex

Not sure strange characters of code were added to previous post.  This should 
be clean. 
 
 private function filter(item:Object): Boolean {
var s:String = cb1.selectedItem.valueOf();
return item.s  9;
 }

 private function startFilter(): void {
myAC.filterFunction = filter;
myAC.refresh();
 }

And nevermind. I got it.

return item[s]!

[flexcoders] Actionscript sum function

[AJC2357]

Is there really no way to sum a simple array w/o adding element by element?

var myArray:Array = [1,2,3,4,5];

I've found min and max functions, but nothing to sum...

Any tips appreciated!

[flexcoders] Simplfying Repetitive Code

[AJC2357]

Hi all, 

If I have a function like this.

private function changeSeries(): void {
series1.yField = 'male';
series2.yField = 'male';
series3.yField = 'male';
series4.yField = 'male';
series5.yField = 'male';
series6.yField = 'male';
series7.yField = 'male';
series8.yField = 'male';
series9.yField = 'male';
series10.yField = 'male';
}

Is there an easy way to simplify it?  Something like

private function changeSeries(): void {
something to indicate i equaling zero through ten
series[i] = 'male';
}

Any code help would be much appreciated!

Thanks so much, Tibor.

This structure - this[series+i] - was what I needed!

 Hi Alex,
 
 You can use a for loop.
 
 for (var i:uint=1; i=10; i++){
   this[series+i].yField = 'male';
 }
 
 Hope this helps,
 
 Tibor.

[flexcoders] e4x Filtering Success

[AJC2357]

(partially...)

I was able to filter through e4x via mx:XML and the dataProvider as follows...

mx:XML id=data source=sep.xml format=e4x/
mx:PieChart width=100% height=100% dataProvider={data.Location.(region == 
'Asia' )}

How can I add an additional filter argument from here?  Using the  technique 
gave me error that entity name must immediately follow 

I want to filter something like: region = Asia AND GDP/capita = 1  

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: Declaring New Variable from XML Source

[AJC2357]

Thanks - new issue.  Getting error 1131: Classes must not be nested The var 
testInfo loads fine. But when I try to filter down - using private var 
jane:XMLList = testData.(country == India); - I get nothing.  I've played 
around with argument order but with no success.

Any ideas?

 Use an e4x expression.  They all return XMLList, so watch for that if you
 need to assign a result to an XML var.  If you are sure there is only one
 node in the result, do var xmlResult:XML = xmllistResult[0];
 
  
 
 See the documentation for e4x syntax and usage, post back here if you have a
 specific question or problem.

 Subject: [flexcoders] Declaring New Variable from XML Source
 
  
 
   
 
 Hello, 
 
 I have a large XML file that I use with Flex to graphically display specific
 data. For example, it is easy to create a graph that shows GDP by country.
 (which creates a graph for all countries in XML file)
 
 But how can narrow or filter these searches? 
 
 I want to have the graph show only the countries that are in region x for
 instance. Can anyone show me how to create a new variable that is derived
 from a subset of the XML file? 
 
 I am new to actionscript but the logic would seem to be: create new variable
 from XML source based on a given criteria (i.e., region == Asia)
 
 Any help?

[flexcoders] Sorting XML number values in datagrid

[AJC2357]

Hi all, 

Looking for a simple solution to properly sorting number values in a datagrid.

I'm sure many of you have run across this limitation.  Trying to sort something 
like {1,5,100) turns into (1,100,5) because it is read a string and not numeric.

Suggestions?  Thanks, 

Alex

[flexcoders] Re: Adding Percent to the label field on the left

This is from a few years ago and seems simple enough.  Any solutions?

I'm dealing with the same issue - trying to display percentage data and 
including the % sign.

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: Password Protection in Flex

[AJC2357]

Does not need to be that secure.  Will be sending a randomized link (ex: 
www.example.com/FSDF3453459324_234hn) directly to client.  

I don't even have to deal with usernames, just one password that would make the 
dashboard functional.  

I will check out your website.  Thanks for your time.

 Certainly, but it is a very complex subject with many solutions.  Few of
 them are implemented in Flex alone.  How secure is secure?  Where and how do
 you want to maintain your list of user/passwords?  Do you need to hash them
 or will you send them in clear text?  Do you need to use https?
 
  
 
 I have a simple log-in example on cflex.net, but it is not suitable for
 sensitive data.

 Hello, 
 
 I am new to flex but am immensely enjoying the charting/dashboard
 capabilities. 
 
 As I begin to put sensitive data together for certain clients, I am
 wondering if there is a way to password protect the swf output.
 
 For instance, I would like to send a link to a client with their requested
 business-intell dashboard. When he/she opens this link, I want the first
 screen of the swf file to ask for a password. Once the password it entered
 correctly, the dashboard becomes functional.
 
 Any code suggestions or links to relevant examples? Thanks in advance,
