Hi Richard.. I've just uploaded an example I built of a component like the iLog's resource planner... here is the link (http://withbreakpoints.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/flexlib-scheduling-sample/) Still lacks some functionality and may be buggy but can be fixed :D HTH P.D: and for the callendar you could check the ely's calendar at http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/components/interactive-calendar/ think there are some modifications in the web but can't recall the pages... --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "randc5849" wrote: > > Hi there - does anyone know of any good alternatives to two of the ILOG > Elixir components, specifically the Calendar component and the resource chart > (URLs below).

[flexcoders] Re: Module initialisation
Hi Guy,
if you are using the ModuleManager to get the Module you have to
create the instance and add it to the application in the Module.Ready...
something like this:
private function onModuleReady(event:ModuleEvent):void
{
var child:DisplayObject = event.module.factory.create() as
DisplayObject;
//The child var will contain you module
if (child)
{
addChild(child);
}
}
if you are using the ModuleLoader, this is done in the ModuleReady,
but if you check the code, it creates the instances, fires the event
and then adds the module... so maybe this is whats happening...
Hopes this help

[flexcoders] Re: Module hell... Flex 3
Have you tried setting the listeners in the execute method?
and also, you should pass the module url inside the event...
//in the event dispatch
var loadEvent : new LoadTestEvent();
loadEvent.url = "TestModule.swf";
loadEvent.dispatch();
//in the command
public function execute(event:CairngormEvent):void
{
var loadEvent : LoadTestEvent= event as LoadTestEvent;
moduleInfo = ModuleManager.getModule(loadEvent.url);
moduleInfo.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.READY, moduleReadyHandler);
moduleInfo.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.ERROR, moduleErrorHandler);
moduleInfo.load(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);
}
I'm not sure if this can help you but you could try...

Yep you were right...
at the beginning I did it but just after I got the event.COMPLETE when

works perfectly...

[flexcoders] Re: Module Loader
Done!!
Thanks Alex, I did it... but had to do it by monkey patching some
classes.. don't like to do this... but...
although I only modified the load method in the ModuleInfo class to
add the loadBytes call, had to change the FactoryInfo,
ModuleInfoProxy, ModuleLoader, ModuleManager and ModuleManagerImpl
because they either have a ModuleInfo variable or weren't visible to
my class...
I don't know if can be done better...
one little defect is that the module is not visible in the design
mode... a red X appears...
Any thought on this???
Thanks!!!

[flexcoders] Re: Module Loader
To extract the swf module from the zip I'm using the following code:
var zipFile:ZipFile = new ZipFile(loadedData);
var data:ByteArray;
for(var i:int = 0; i < zipFile.entries.length; i++)
{
var entry:ZipEntry = zipFile.entries[i];
data = zipFile.getInput(entry);
}
loader = new Loader( );
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE,
onLoadComplete );
var context : LoaderContext = new LoaderContext( );
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
loader.loadBytes( data, context );
On the onLoadComplete the loader.content has:
_TestModule_mx_core_FlexModuleFactory (@17975f1)
which seems to be similar to the variable info.factory in
ModuleInfoProxy
you can see a screenshot of the debugger window in:

[flexcoders] Module Loader
Hey all... is there a way to load a module not from an url but an object instance? I have a zip file with a module, I unzipped it with the nochump zip libraries and obtain the instance of the factory for the module ( or at least is what it seems )... but then I can´t find a way to pass it to the ModuleLoader... so, I'm stuck... don't know where to look... Any Ideas??? Thanks in advance
