Re: [flexcoders] Who else is here - SharedObjects?
Look at remote shared objects on FMIS. You would store the clients via rso, and anytime some one would enter or leave you'd add the client name or match and remove client on exit, that would update the list on all clients (on change). I'm not sure how you'd do this via LCDS/Blaze sicne I haven't done this in a while. B.

[flexcoders] labelFunction on BarSeries not firing
Hello all,
I'm not to sure why this isn't firing. I've broke this down to the simplest

[flexcoders] Mouse events from Axis Label- charts
Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to click on horizontal axis labels (using DateTimeAxis). I can use a MouseEvent.CLICK and check it's event.target.parent.placement to verify that it's the right axis and then access it's text but this seems like a hack. I can't add mouse functionality to it(roll over, out, show hand cursor etc.). What is the proper way to make an axis label clickable? Also, I am building these charts with actionscript and not mxml. Thanks in advance, B.

Re: [flexcoders] Stop Scaling scrollThumb - skinning
I contemplated doing this but the designer would have a fit so no go :(
Another route I went was to extend the ProgrammaticSkin class and attaching
it to the scrollThumb style but I dont think it handles bitmaps. Or at least
I couldn't get one to show up. Ah well, I talked the designer into
redesigning it. I wish I had the time on this project to just roll my own.
Thanks!

Here's another hackish approach, but from a different angle.
Good enough for me though.
I copied the appropriate Scroll class (ScrollThumbSkin) from the
framework into my local source tree and then referenced it (and the
other scroll classes I was modifying) using CSS, like this:
ScrollBar {
trackSkin: ClassReference(com.westwind.skins.ScrollTrackSkin);
thumbUpSkin: ClassReference(com.westwind.skins.ScrollThumbSkin);
thumbOverSkin:
ClassReference(com.westwind.skins.ScrollThumbSkin);
thumbDownSkin:
ClassReference(com.westwind.skins.ScrollThumbSkin);
thumbDisabledSkin:
ClassReference(com.westwind.skins.ScrollThumbSkin);
upArrowUpSkin:
ClassReference(com.westwind.skins.ScrollArrowSkin);
upArrowOverSkin:
ClassReference(com.westwind.skins.ScrollArrowSkin);
upArrowDownSkin:
ClassReference(com.westwind.skins.ScrollArrowSkin);
upArrowDisabledSkin:
ClassReference(com.westwind.skins.ScrollArrowSkin);
downArrowUpSkin:
ClassReference(com.westwind.skins.ScrollArrowSkin);
downArrowOverSkin:
ClassReference(com.westwind.skins.ScrollArrowSkin);
downArrowDownSkin:
ClassReference(com.westwind.skins.ScrollArrowSkin);
downArrowDisabledSkin:
ClassReference(com.westwind.skins.ScrollArrowSkin);
thumbOffset: -1;
}
That's all normal, here's the hack. Inside ScrollThumbSkin,
I set the alpha of the native thumb to 0 and then created a
new round rect at the size I wanted. Since the real thumb
still exists my new thumb doesn't get all the way to the
end of the track (because the larger native one under it
does but I found that from a user experience standpoint
it isn't a horrible tradeoff... the presence of the scroll
bar tells me there's content outside my view and the
thumb and arrows both still work so cares if the thumbs
never reaches the end of the track?
This difference in behavior is most notable on pages with only
minimal content outside the page, the case where you'd
usually get a gigantic thumb that moved only a few pixels,
IMO, an equally odd behavior and one that requires your visual
design to tolerate a gigantic scroll bar. Not so good for subtler
visual looks.
On long pages you *barely* notice the altered behavior, it at all
Oddly, horizontal scroll bars seem to work fine with this trick,
ie the behaviors above I've only seen in vertical scroll bars.
If someone could explain why that is to me, I'd be grateful.
You can see these scroll bars at:
http://www.djethan.com/westwind/
Note that it's a work in progress so you might bump into an
occasional error, etc. Just dismiss and you should be fine.

Re: [flexcoders] Stop Scaling scrollThumb - skinning
well the issue was that the graphic that the designer provided was not meant to be scaled and the scroll bar would be used across most the app but not the entire app. most of it are panels and canvases. I started to extend upon the programmaticSkin class to swap out the image and set the height/width but I really don' have the time to fight with getting a bitmap to display in something I've never extended(I believe that particular class only lets you create code based skins... though not to sure). thx!

I mean, does this scrollbar appears in lists, combo boxes, canvases, etc. or is it just for a particular component or set of components? Because you can always extend (not hack) scrollbar, override that setScrollProperties and use that for that particular component you're working on. Remember that you can set the horizontal (or vertical) ScrollBar property on canvases and the like to your own external subclass. If you don't need to monkey patch the scroll for everything, you can use your own subclasses of scroll bar NP. -- gabriel montagné láscaris comneno http://rojored.com t/506.8392.2040

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Is SWFObject ready for prime time?
I just updated an application to use SWFObject 2.0 yesterday. Hopefully when it gets to QA I won't get bombarded by failed browser issues. If so, I'll just switch, so not to big of a deal. Although, trying to remember, I've used SWFObject in a quite a few apps that use ExternalInterface/JS in the past and only had to loop through the dom to deal with IE,.

Wait, let me fix that statement: would not be able to use any functions of JQuery **in Internet Explorer** (go figure). We saw something similar with a legacy SWFObject call interfering with us using Ext on the same page. This took a little time to discover, and even longer to figure out, but basically SWFObject breaks the DOM in IE.
