[flexcoders] Updating Help!!!

[Daniel]

Hi everyone I'm new to flex and I've been trying to creat a program but i'm 
stuck on something simple and i'm not sure what im doing wrong please help

I'm conecting flex to php using the zen service, and i can load the data on the 
form with no problem, following the adobe tutorial i'm trying to update or save 
the changes made to the data, but im getting this error "1067: Implicit 
coercion of a value of type valueObjects:DatosEmpresa to an unrelated type 
valueObjects:Empresa."

This is the complete code:



http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009";
  xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
  xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
  xmlns:ns="http://code.google.com/p/flexlib/";
  xmlns:empresaservice="services.empresaservice.*"
  xmlns:valueObjects="valueObjects.*"
  creationComplete="init()"
  width="80%" height="80%" layout="absolute" 
title="Empresa">






































Any ideas!!! Help

I recommend strongly that you check out the flexmojos project instead:

[flexcoders] AdvancedDataGrid 2 Pixel Gap Between Rows

[Daniel Swid]

I'm really frustrated trying to eliminate the 2 pixel gap between rows. 

I've explored with FlexSpy, have subclassed the ADG, but can't figure out where 
its coming from. 

Does anyone have any ideas or pointers?



Thanks.

Re: [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: [flexcoders] XML e4x error

[Daniel Freiman]

Ok.  To recap, I have a constructor that contains the line:

data.path[...@d[0];

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  This happens predictably, but I
can't figure out what the difference between the cases are.  I tried the XML
below (which both look the same to me except for the "id" attribute.  The
first one works, the second one errors.  The only difference I can think of
is that the first is created using remote object serialization, while the
second one is currently hard coded in an actionscript class (for debug
purposes).  Maybe the namespace isn't being correctly set in the internals
of the xml.

Now that this has been narrowed down, has anyone seen this bug before?

Re: [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: [flexcoders] XML e4x error

[Daniel Freiman]

Ok, that fixes the problem, but it doesn't explain why the problem was
happening in the first place.  Or it doesn't explain why the first three
examples ever worked.  Nowhere in my application did I ever define a default
namespace.  In all 4 cases when I trace "data.namespace().uri" I get "
http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; regardless of whether I do the trace before or
after setting the default namespace.

Is this a bug?  I'm running the exact same line of code each time.  The only
thing I can think of is that the source of the XML is different.  The first
3 are created through deserialization from the server.  The 4th is just the
normal XML constructor. I do see why this would matter.

Re: [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: [flexcoders] XML e4x error

[Daniel Freiman]

I think I tried that already but I'll double check in the morning.

Based on the XML and the code, isn't the default namespace already defined
and shouldn't e4x be already using it?

Re: [SPAM] Re: [flexcoders] XML e4x error

[Daniel Freiman]

I've stated the symptom.  As you can see in the given XML, there is a child
named path. So I should be getting value for that code instead of a null
error.  I don't know why it's not picking it up.  My best guess is that it
is because of namespaces, but I can't see a differences between the XML
objects that this code works for, and the one it doesn't work for.  The
"[0]" should be optional (at least relative to getting a null value or
not).  I'm not sure how else to state my goal other than how the expression
is already written.  I want the "d" attribute of the "path" child and I want
it to work for all of the cases I've supplied or find the reason why it's
not working so I can fix the last case.  Right now it is only working for 3
out of 4.

I've tried that previously.  There wasn't any difference, which should be
expected given the request path.

[flexcoders] XML e4x error

[Daniel Freiman]

I'm running the following line of code on XML objects and getting
inconsistent results:

data.path[...@d[0]

In 3 cases, I get a valid answer.  In the last case, data.path[0] == null
and thus errors.
Can anyone see any difference?
The valid XML are:

http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; xmlns:pdf="
http://ns.adobe.com/pdf/2006"; xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";

  Ipsor Lopsumething and other things that will test
stuff.
  


The XML that throws the error is:

Re: [flexcoders] LCDS + MD5 + PostGreSQL and JRun4

[Daniel Nelson]

Holy Crap, someone other than myself is using JRun and LCDS.  Awesome!  I
can't help you with your problem as I have never used PostgreSQL, but could
I get your contact info as I have never ran across anyone using JRun outside
of ColdFusion development.

Feel free to contact me at nelso...@gmail.com anytime.

[flexcoders] Is the Text Layout Framework Forum down?

[Daniel Freiman]

The Text Layout Forum seems to have disappeared.  It's not on the list of
labs forums.  The links from the labs page leads to a file not found page.
Did this get moved or merged into the Flex forum?

Re: [flexcoders] Moving flex app (coldfusion) to a production server

[Daniel Nelson]

I would suggest that you don't compile against the services-config.xml file
in your flex project.  Instead you should be dynamically setting up your
remote calls.  Makes moving from development to production a lot easier

[flexcoders] Shift-drag on HSlider in FB4

[Daniel McQuillen]

Does anybody have any tips for capturing a slider drag with SHIFT keyboard 
event?

MouseEvents have the handy shiftkey property for capturing events with SHIFT 
key depressed. However,  doesn't seem to launch any helpful mouse 
events (e.g. mouseUp) and the events it does launch (e.g. change) don't have 
the event.shiftkey property.

I could capture the shift key state in my own boolean flag somewhere by using 
keyUp and keyDown handlers on the slider or parent containers, but then the 
issue of component focus gets in the way and it doesn't behave smoothly.

There's probably a really easy answer to this that -- like so many before -- 
eludes my slow thinking. Thanks for any suggestions!

Re: [flexcoders]Importing a project into Flash Builder 4 from Flex Builder 3

[Daniel Freiman]

From: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder4/

"You can install a separate copy of Flash Builder 4 standalone and it will
remain separate from any Flex Builder 2 or 3 installations. Also, workspaces
created in Flex Builder 2 or Flex Builder 3 are not supported by Flash
Builder 4. Lastly, Flash Builder 4 can import existing Flex Builder
projects, but a project that has its settings modified by Flash Builder 4

Re: [flexcoders] Flex with ZendAMF and sessions/cookies

[Daniel Freiman]

I had a problem using ZendAMF and Zend_Session at the same time.
Zend_Session was interfering with ZendAMF.  I think https had something to
do with it as well. I had to use php sessions instead.  Otherwise, unless
there's another bug somewhere else, it should just be the combination of the
ZendAMF and sessions turorials.

Re: [flexcoders] Text Layout Framework with Flex 3.3 and Embeded Fonts

Apparently you can compile DefineFont4 font in Flex 4 and then import that

But thanks for passing on the question.

Re: [flexcoders] Source Not Found in Flex Builder Debug

[Daniel Freiman]

It could be two things.  You could be using a component/library that isn't
open source (such as the flash.* packages or a third party component) or
sometimes using the Flex RSL does this.  If it's a standard open source Flex
class, try incorporating the Flex code into your project instead of using
the RSL and see if that works.

Re: [flexcoders] E4x. Strange behavior when modifying XML. Help needed.

[Daniel Freiman]

xml.summary.text()[0] = "This is my summary"

Almost all e4x calls return an XMLList, including text() which returns and
XMLList where all the node types are "text."  So the above is getting the
text values/nodes and setting the first one.

Re: [flexcoders] e4x challenge

[Daniel Freiman]

If you want to select them, then:

XMLList list = xml.descendants().(@type = "file)

otherwise, i'd still get that list and then loop through it and delete each
by doing (exact code might need some cleaning):

for (each item:XML in list) {
   delete item.parent()[item.childIndex()];
}

Re: [flexcoders] Serialize Java ResultSet To Flex

[Daniel Freiman]

Yeah, something more raw.  If the ResultSet was natively serializable (w/
multiple rows of data), I'd be happy.  I've found from previous iterations
of this project, that raw-ish data was the way to go here, and previous
languages I used easily allowed for that.

Re: [flexcoders] IE6 RemoteObject calls fail under HTTPS

[Daniel Freiman]

Many IE problems are cause by the no-cache header (or lack thereof, I forget
which).  I also vaguely remember having issues on IE only when settings
didn't match up perfectly (ex. using an AMFChannel instead of a
SecureAMFChannel with and https address).  You might want to throw out your
assumetions of what should work/fail over and only use what is explicitly
supposed to work.  Sorry I can't be of more specific help, but it was a long
time ago when I had this type of problem.

[flexcoders] Setting Consumer Selector On BlazeDS Server

[Daniel Freiman]

Is there any way to have the server set the selector for the consumer?  It
looks like you should be able to intercept the subscribe commandmessage and
override the headers, but that isn't working.

Alternately, I have users that are in groups and I want any message that is
sent to a group to be sent to every member of that group.  That the client
application doesn't necessarily know what group they are in (sometimes for
security reasons), although the server always does.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: String Encoding Issue Over AMF

[Daniel Freiman]

Either I'm missing something (which is highly possible) or that information
isn't addressing the problem.  Everything on the php side seems fine.  And
all the tests/functions applied to the string on the php side operate as
expected.  It's not until the string is sent over AMF to Flex that I have a
problem.

[flexcoders] String Encoding Issue Over AMF

[Daniel Freiman]

I'm transmitting Strings from php to Flex.  The values are correct before I
send them to Flex (I've traced them), but Flex isn't interpreting them
properly (I get that square thing, or two incorrect characters).  I've tried
various encoding/decoding schemes (urlencode, etc) but none of them have
worked.  So far I've only tried alphanumeric characters and the "trademark"
and "registered" symbols.  The "trademark" is the only one that isn't
working.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

[flexcoders] AIR Application - Positioning.

[Daniel]

Hi,

I have a requirement for an application, it provides extensions based 
on a name entry box.

The client would like it to appear as a system tray icon, and when you 
click it, the application opens above it. When you find results the 
application window stretches upwards to show the results.

My google powers have failed me and I'm unsure on the best way to 
tackle this. Two possibilities, I assume, are to make a 100% screen 
size transparent application with an area visible in the bottom right 
OR just resize the application in the bottom right.

I'm unsure on either at the moment.

Thanks, Dan

Re: [flexcoders] embed font combo box

[Daniel Freiman]

The only issue I know of with the combo box is that the control shows the
bold version of the font.  So if the bold style is not explicitly embeded,
the font won't show up correctly in the control.

[flexcoders] DataGrid/AdvancedDataGrid cell selection a la spreadsheet

[Daniel Cascais]

Hi all,

If my mind isn't playing tricks on me; I remember having seen, at some
point, an implementation of the DataGrid where it had multiple cell
selection as you would in a spreadsheet, by dragging your mouse over the
desired cells.

Please share the link if you also remember seeing this, and know where it
can be found.

Thanks,
DC

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex developer and their hourly rate

[Daniel Thompson]

I've also heard take your yearly salary, say $100k. Determine the  
hourly rate: $100k / 2000, which results in an hourly rate of  $50.  
Now triple that to find your contracted rate. 33.3% for salary and  
healthcare (same amount taken home), 33.3% for capital (office space,  
computers, software, car) and 33.3% for taxes (you are responsible for  
more as an independent contractor).

So, if you were making $100k and decide to contract, you should charge  
$150 per hour to enjoy the same standard of living.

Re: [flexcoders] Flash player 10 required for my swf?

[Daniel Freiman]

I'm going to stand by my theory that it's going to ask for Flash 10 no
matter what once it fails the detection script.  But I'm at a loss as to why
it's failing at all, unless users are confused between the different
versions of Flash 9.  But your test would seem to discredit user confusion.
Report back if you figure anything out.

Re: [flexcoders] Flash player 10 required for my swf?

[Daniel Freiman]

I think the detection script checks to see if you have the required
version.  If you don't, then it will tell you that you need the most
recently released version of Flash regardless of what version the wrapper
actually requires.  This does cause confusion form a troubleshooting
standpoint, but I'm guessing the reason is that adobe did this is that users
would be more confused if it told them they needed flash 9 and gave them
flash 10.  Better to confuse the developers than the end user?

Re: [flexcoders] Setting text on a text node in e4x

Maybe it's not possible.  At this point I'd go into the Tamirin code and see
how it's handling xml text nodes.  Another clue might be Alex's response to

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Measuring a vbox after I add children to it

[Daniel Freiman]

In your code, validateNow() would come right before you call drawStripe(),
but...
I'd use the structure and invalidation that's already built into Flex
UIComponents:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
>



override protected function createChildren():void {
super.createChildren();
addText;
addText;
addSpacer;
addText;
addSpacer;
addText;

}

override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number) {
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
var g:Graphics = this.graphics;
g.beginFill(0x00);
g.drawRect( 0, 0, 5, height );
g.endFill();
}

Re: [flexcoders] Measuring a vbox after I add children to it

[Daniel Freiman]

vbox.validateSize();

if that doesn't work:

vbox.validateSize(true);

or

vbox.validateNow();

then go for vbox.height

Re: [flexcoders] Re: HTML real caret position

[Daniel Freiman]

Vaguely.  TextArea keeps all the values of the TextField cached.  So when
you edit the TextField directly, you're probably not affecting the
TextArea.  I don't immediately see a way around this.  All the methods you
would need access to in order to refresh the TextArea properties seem
private.  You might want to try
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/textClasses/TextRange.html(which
I've never used so I can't give you any more help than the
suggestion).

Re: [flexcoders] Case sensitive XML?

[Daniel Freiman]

Yeah, you can also use expressions or concatenation but I'm guessing this
could be very inefficient:

var node:XML = xmlDoc.decendants().(localName().toLowerCase() =
"param").(@name.toLowerCase() == "movie");

var node:XML = (xmlDoc..param + xmlDoc..PARAM).(@name == "movie" || @name ==

Re: [flexcoders] Problem with scaleX for system fonts!

[Daniel Freiman]

I know scaling TextField and UITextField works, so your problem has to do
with how the Label component is overriding the scaleX and scaleY
properties.  I'm not sure exactly in the code the disconnect is.

Re: [flexcoders] Rich Text Editor Problem

[Daniel Freiman]

Text components cannot use embeded and non-embeded fonts at the same time.
I'm not sure as to the details of what's going on in your case, but this
could be at the root of the problem.

Re: [flexcoders] e4x filtering of xml nodes...

[Daniel Freiman]

It looks like your provided example should work.  However, the expression
will fail if there is an "MetaData" node without any "itemid" node child, so
if your example is not your actual test/use case, then this might be your
problem.  If it is, solve it by using this:

myData.Entry..MetaData.(elements("itemid") == 1234)

Re: [flexcoders] TextArea with support of emoticans

I've seen implementations of this.  You're not going to be able to implement
this entirely in the textfield.  It's implemented more as an overlay.  Do a
google search and you'll find someone who's already done this.

Re: [flexcoders] e4x problem - filtering elements based on multiple child conditions

[Daniel Freiman]

name.text()[0] will give you a single XML node of Kind string.  If you want
to operate on it as a string simply do: name.text()[0].toString()

Re: [flexcoders] e4x problem - filtering elements based on multiple child conditions

[Daniel Freiman]

I think you'd actually be matching "fred" against the first item in the
list, which would means that the entire expression would always return false
because the first item can't be both "bob" and "fred".

Re: [flexcoders] e4x problem - filtering elements based on multiple child conditions

[Daniel Freiman]

You're correct, but you can also do the filtering in a loop to be dynamic:

var result:XMLList = rootXML.group.(name.text().contains("fred"));
for each (filterName) { // psuedo-code
   result = result.(name.text().contains(filterName));
}
return result;

Re: [flexcoders] Preventing cut&paste in Flex3 application

[Daniel Freiman]

I don't think you can disable the cut/paste menus.  But you can
disable/cancel the functionality.  I'd play around with the keydown and
change events of the UITextField.  If the control key is down in the active
in the keydown event, save the current htmltext of the textfield and reset
the text to that saved state on the change event.  If that doesn't work
there are some functions of the flash.text.TextField class that you can
override to intercept the paste, but we probably want to avoid going that
far.

I'll test that theory out when I have time.  For now I have a workaround.
It'll be interesting to see if there's a substantive difference between the
two.

Re: [flexcoders] XMLListCollection.AddItemAt() silently fails

[Daniel Freiman]

Yeah, I've been looking into binding causes, but wouldn't I see that
happening while stepping through the code?  As far as I can tell this is an
atomic action (or lack thereof).

[flexcoders] +Re: Dynamic destination of remote object?

[Daniel McQuillen]

Did you try casting to mx.rpc.remoting.mxml.RemoteObject? This is a subclass
or mx.rpc.remoting.RemoteObject. Although it's for the 
tag, it does give you access to the endpoint property...something the
superclass doesn't.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Want to build a SWF on the fly when someone requests it

[Daniel Freiman]

I agree with Paul from a technological basis, but there is a strong business
case for doing compilation on the fly and having the deliverable be a single
file.  People with lower technology aptitude/interest would consider a
single file better/simpler and may use that as a significant factor on what
to purchase.  This is why a lot of these types of products do deliver only
one file.  A lot also deliver multiple files, so it's by no means a cut and
dry case.  So if the product marketing allows for a multi-file
deliverable/output, then I would agree with Paul.  But sometimes your stuck
with what the market(ers) want.

Re: [flexcoders] Who is Robert Thompson?

[Daniel Freiman]

IMHO, in a community like this, what someone says should be judged by the
content, not their qualifications.  (I might make exceptions for people who
have exceptional reputations, or some official authority, but those are the
exceptions, not the rule).

Judge the content (in context), not the man/woman.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Want to build a SWF on the fly when someone requests it

[Daniel Freiman]

You're going to have to dynamically write the source code and run the
command-line compiler on it.  Building the code can be very specific to the
project so I can't help you there, but the docs on the compiler are here:

Re: [flexcoders] breakpoints not being triggered

[Daniel Freiman]

Is the debugger even attaching correctly?

To check: start your app in debug mode.  Go into Flex Builder when the app
is already running and try to pause it.  If you can't pause it because the
debugger is already stopped, then the debugger never attached the
application correctly.

[flexcoders] Change shape form with graphics effect!

[Daniel]

Hey guys...

I made a component that extends from UIComponent and have an item
renderer. The renderer have two states, an open state and a closed
state. The start state is closed, but when the users click on the
renderer it changes to the openedState which is bigger.

The container of that item renderer (the UIComponent) can either be a
circle or a pentagon which I draw in updateDisplayList with the
graphics attribute. When the item renderer change state the
UIComponent need to change its form to a rectangle while it increases
its size. How can I make a transition effect from the circle/pentagon
to the rectangle and viceversa?

Thanx in advanced,
DaN

Re: [flexcoders] MXML Component Navigation

Hi jim

I'd use a ViewStack, and change its content at components click event.

You use the selectedChild or selectedIndex to change the views...

The documentation is a great source to understand more about these
components, check it...

I hope it helps...and sorry for any typos ;-)

[flexcoders] Flex Kit for CS3 weirdness

[Daniel McQuillen]

I'm experiencing some weirdness when using the Flex Kit for CS3. I have a
MovieClip I'm exporting to a .swc (for Flex) as a UIMovieClip called
"AnimationPanel." I'm defining the class in a separate AnimationPanel.as
file with a class definition of:

  public class AnimationPanel extends UIMovieClip

I've already used the "Make Flex Component" command on the symbol in the
library and it reads the class correctly. There are are 10 child movieclips
within this main UIMovieClip timeline I want to access from the
AnimationPanel.as class. When I tried to compile, the compiler complained
that it didn't know what these movieclip references were. So I added member
definitions in the AnimationPanel.as file...

private var animHC:MovieClip
private var animCHL:MovieClip
... and so on.

That worked for all but two, which the compiler still said it didn't know
what they were. (I checked spelling and the instance name field for these
two.) Why thse two? Dunno.

This is the funny part: I did one thing...I moved the layer that the
supposedly missing movieclip was on. Suddenly, the compiler decided that "a
conflict exists with definition [movieclip name] in namespace internal"* for
every child movieclip l had defined*! So now it didn't want *any *definitions
in the class...they were being picked up automatically from inside the
movieclip. So now I took out all the member definitions and it worked fine.

Ehh...

I gues this is my ignorance of how the compiler works with movieclips, their
members, and classes that define the movieclips. Are you supposed to define
child movieclips that exist on the timeline in the .as class when
subclassing UIMovieClip? Does anybody know where to go to learn more about
how the compiler works in this case? Eveyrthing's working now but I'd like
to know what's going on.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: [flexcoders] Must call super.commitProperties at END of overrided commitProperties when extending TitleWindow?

[Daniel Gold]

I definitely put a HUGE comment when moving that call to super to the end of
commitProperties, with a note that I should look into refactoring things to
not set any properties in commit. It may have been the only comment I wrote
this year.

My logic was that I WAS propagating changes in commitProperties, and one of
those changes had the effect of modifying a property of the super class,
which just didn't cross my mind as being problematic at the time. The title
of this window was a combination of different properties, and rather than
calling updateTitle() in each setter, I decided it made the most sense to do
that in commitProperties so I could catch if any of the properties changed
and have only a single location calling that function.

I slowly try to migrate older, or more rapidly developed components to the
invalidation mechanism, but run into problems when it's at the franken-stage
where it's half MXML with bindings, and half invalidation flags and
commitProperties. Problem being that the setter will fire bindings, but the
change won't be fully propagated everywhere it needs to and I get some null
or some unexpected value that is only half right and gets updated in the
next frame after commitProperties makes a change and causes other bindings
to fire. Maybe someday I'll write perfect by the book code from the get go.

Re: [flexcoders] Must call super.commitProperties at END of overrided commitProperties when extending TitleWindow?

[Daniel Gold]

it should have still updated on the next invalidation pass because in
Panel.as my call to set title sets _titleChanged = true, which should cause
that logic block to execute in the next commitProperties. Maybe I was off in
debugging and never hit another invalidation pass.

This does bring up a point about the invalidation mechanism however. Because
I really shouldn't know which properties are handled with invalidation flags
in a class I'm extending, I should always put the call to
super.commitProperties at the end of my commitProperties functions just in
case something in that function changes a property that calls
invalidateProperties. I definitely don't want to rely on another frame
calling invalidateProperties as it may never happen and I can't control when
it happens. What if a function call in commitProperties ends up dispatching
an event and some handler code executes that modifes title or some other
code handled by an invalidation flag. Only way to guarantee all those
changes are picked up is to call super after my code executes, which still
looks bizarre to me.

[flexcoders] Must call super.commitProperties at END of overrided commitProperties when extending TitleWindow?

[Daniel Gold]

I don't think I've seen anything like this before and maybe I'm just going
crazy.

I've got a class that extends TitleWindow, it has a few setters and some of
these can affect what the displayed title should be. These all use
invalidation flags and don't get fully committed until commitProperties. If
I call super.commitProperties() at the beginning of my commitProperties
function, and then change the title somewhere else in that function, the
title NEVER gets commited. I've stepped through the code and I really can't
see why. There are only two places in Panel.as that modify _titleChanged. I
see it getting flipped to true in the setter, then when commitProperties
gets around to executing, the flag is magically false?

Anyways, if I call super.commitProperties after I do all my work and
possibly modify the title, everything is fine, except it looks really whacky
because I've had it ingrained for years that you always call super class
functions at the beginning...

A subclass of TitleWindow as simple as this exhibits the behavior:

Re: [flexcoders] Is it possible to put a custom component inside itself?

[Daniel Gold]

Sure, as long as you hit your base case and the constructor actually returns
for the last one you create you'll be fine. Just to test and prove the logic
to yourself, create a static class variable and decrement it each time you
create a new one, check it in the constructor if its > 0 declare a new
instance and that will be your base case. You should have a hierarchical
component where each instance has one child, that has a childwith a
depth equal to whatever your static var was initialized to.

Re: [flexcoders] Determine client performance (not with any accuracy)?

[Daniel Gold]

Hmmm, a framework for that could be pretty interesting. Have the ability to
specify certain sections of code/certain components as optional based on a
current performance metric.

As far as metering, could be as simple as listening to ENTER_FRAME and
taking timestamps to determine how long each frame is taking to
render/process. Then setting state on an application performance model that
views could bind to and tone themselves down appropriately...

Re: [flexcoders] How to temporarily stop a dataProvider from updating UI

[Daniel Gold]

Hmmm, thanks for the reality check. I refreshed myself on the
ListCollectionVIew source, remembered the dispatch boolean being passed in
as false in reset but must have overlooked the dispatchResetEvent bit.

In reading I did notice this bit:
if (sort)
{
sort.sort(localIndex);
dispatch = true;
}

And after a quick test looks like I don't even need to be calling refresh
when there's a sort applied as the internalRefresh function is handling it.
Any quick tips on when refresh() actually needs to be called? Definitely
don't want to be forcing controls to run their update code twice...

Re: [flexcoders] How to temporarily stop a dataProvider from updating UI

[Daniel Gold]

really? I thought controls like DataGrid listened for CollectionChange and
thought swapping source only did an internal refresh without firing a
COLLECTION_CHANGE. I do use Sorts and filterFunctions pretty often so maybe
I'm way off base...

And I tried to note that the loop was unneccessary, but most of the time
there is some kind of processing or merging going on with the new source
instead of just taking the array handed back.
