You could essentially use an anonymous function in there. Something like this:
Alert(..., Delegate.create(this, function(event) { this.alertHandler({myVar:
'apples'}); });

I just reread your question and it seems like you already got that part which I
have mentioned in my previous post. About the passing of events, I tried adding
event as the 3rd parameter and getting the event.target value but it returns
blank.
Somebody on the flexcodes who have played around with events should be able to
answer your question..

How about simple passing the parameters like:
Alert(... ..., Delegate.create(this,
this.alertHandler('apples','Bar'));
And in your alertHandler(myVar,myFoo), you can get the values
of your parameters.
Does this answer your question?

Subject: [flexcoders] Passing variables into an alert handler
I'm trying to pass variables into the Delegate that I have
run during an
alert. Here is the code I currently have:
alert(Delete record?, Alert, mx.controls.Alert.OK |
mx.controls.Alert.CANCEL, Delegate.create(this, this.alertHandler),
mx.controls.Alert.CANCEL);
I would like to be able to pass variables into the
alertHandler, i.e.:
Alert(... ..., Delegate.create(this, this.alertHandler({
myVar:'apples',
myFoo:'Bar' });
This works... but the problem is that the 'event' is no
longer passed.
Trying to add 'myEvent:event' to that object doesn't work,
as I get an
error returned saying 'event' doesn't exist.
Is there a way to pass variables using the method above while still
capturing the event details?

[flexcoders] Form visibility question
We've got a project that has the following behavior. When a particular form item is answered a certain way, another form item should turn on on the page. A common example is choosing Other in a radio group turns on a text box for inputting what Other is. Right now, we've got ActionScript turning the visibility of the form items on and off depending on answers to previous questions. The problem is that the form items still take up physical space. The behavior we'd like would have the form item not only be invisible but also not take up space. Then, when the required answer is given, the form item would appear and push the content after it down. I know it's a weird question, so here's a visual example: Initial form state: Choose your favorite fruit: () Apples () Oranges () Lemons () Other Choose your favorite car: () Chevy () Ford () Toyota If Other is chosen: Choose your favorite fruit: () Apples () Oranges () Lemons (*) Other Please describe other: - | | - Choose your favorite car: () Chevy () Ford () Toyota /*** * Jeff Beeman * Digital Media Instructional Technologies * Arizona State University ***/ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

You could also pass it to your mxml file as a flashvar, as long as you
have the variable declared in your root application. I do something
similar to the following from within a jsp page:
!-- index.jsp --
html
head
titleflex/title
%@ taglib uri=FlexTagLib prefix=mm /
%
String ipAddress = null;
if( request.getHeader(X-Forwarded-For) == null )
{
ipAddress = request.getRemoteAddr();
}
else
{
ipAddress = request.getHeader(X-Forwarded-For);
}
%
body
mm:mxml source=myApp.mxml
mm:flashvar name=IP_ADDRESS value=%= ipAddress % /
/mm:mxml
/body
/html
Be sure to have the variable IP_ADDRESS declared in the root of your
mxml application.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
I do this with a simple .jsp script in the Flex app. You can include
something like the following:
getIPAddress.jsp:
clientip
valGet%=request.getRemoteAddr()%/valGet
/clientip
Then call that within Flex in an HTTPService and parse the return.
HTTPService.result.clientip.valGet , etc
Then you can store that in a sharedobject or whatever you want.
Hope it helps.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Tree dataProviders backingObject
My other thought for a simpler, quicker approach was to use the good old variables of data and label for each node, and the data variable would simply contain a number that references the id of what I'm looking at. The full data for the node would be stored elsewhere. The big problem I have with that solution is that my data is now disconnected and I'm creating unnecessary clutter in my app. Having not looked into the TreeDataProvider too thoroughly yet, could you give me an idea how difficult it might be if I simple modify it to do the following: Any arrays inside a tree data provider are treated as nodes, unless the array is called data, in which case it is treated as the data for the node. Sounds simple too me on paper... but I realize it could end up being a major headache - thoughts before I begin? /** * Jeff Beeman **/ -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of alex_harui Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 7:11 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Tree dataProviders backingObject Ah yes, the ol' convert arrays to children problem. The TreeDataProvider is guilty of trying to hard to figure out which parts of a complex object are children. I can only think of two ways to deal with this: 1) write your own implementation of TreeDataProvider that doesn't munge your data. 2) convert your data into the TreeNodes by using addTreeNodeAt then adding the arrays later.

That way, at each level in the tree we can ask the current node for its children and other data. Built-in Flash types like XMLNode don't support TreeDataProvider and it is too hard to mix it in (and bad practice as well). Thus we take each XMLNode and wrap it in a TreeDataProvider and put the original node in a backingObject. There is no API for limiting tree depth. I'd think twice before implementing it because it would seem to me that the tree should faithfully represent its data so, if the data has only two levels then fine, but if it has more you should show that too. However, if you really gotta do it, you have a couple of choices depending on what you want the UI to look like. You could override setIsOpen on the Tree and block opening of things that are too deep, but the those nodes at level 2 with children will still look like folders. You could customize a TreeDataProvider to pretend that nodes of level 2 have no children. That's probably the best option. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Matt Chotin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Check out the TreeDataProvider API in the ASDoc.

Subject: [flexcoders] E4X in Flex
2.0, part 1: Reading XML
As you may have gathered, we've been spending a lot of time lately
leveraging the new features of the Flash Player in the new Flex application
model. Naturally, you'll also be able to leverage those same new features, so
we thought we'd start giving you a run down of what's new. Of course we don't
have beta software for you to play with yet, so for now, we'll provide a lot of
detail so you can evaluate these new features and give guidance for us.
XML manipulation in Flex 2.0 is going to get a lot more
powerful, as well as faster.By the time that Flex 2.0 ships, the Flash
Player will support E4X (ECMAScript for XML), a set of programming
language extensions adding native XML support to ECMAScript.The player
team is busy implementing Standard ECMA-357 as
described in http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-357.htm.
Here'show the spec describes whatthis feature
offers:E4X adds native XML datatypes to the ECMAScript language,
extends the semantics of familiar ECMAScript operators for manipulating XML
objects and adds a small set of new operators for common XML operations, such
as searching and filtering. It also adds support for XML literals, namespaces,
qualified names and other mechanisms to facilitate XML processing.
Lets take a look at a few examples of how you can read XML
data using E4X.
As in the current player, you'll be able to create variables
of type XML by parsing a String. But XML literals will now be supported as
well:
var employees:XML =
employees
employee
ssn=123-123-1234
name first=John last=Doe/
address
street11 Main St./street
citySan Francisco/city
stateCA/state
zip98765/zip
/address
/employee
employee
ssn=789-789-7890
name first=Mary last=Roe/
address
street99 Broad St./street
cityNewton/city
stateMA/state
zip01234/zip
/address
/employee
/employees;
Instead of using DOM-style APIs like firstChild,
nextSibling, etc., with E4X you just dot down to grab the node you
want.Multiple nodes are indexable with [n], similar to the elements of an
Array:
trace(employees.employee[0].address.zip);
---
98765
Tograb an attribute, you just use the .@ operator:
trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
---
789-789-7890
If you don't pick out a particular node, you get all of
them, as an indexable list:
trace(employees.employee.name);
---
name first=John
last=Doe/
name first=Mary last=Roe/
(And note that nodeseven toString() themselves into
formatted XML!)
A handy double-dot operator lets you omit the
path down into the XML _expression_, so you could shorten the
previous three examples to
trace(employees..zip[0]);
trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]]);
trace(employees..name);
You can use a * wildcard toget a list of multiple
nodes or attributes with various names, and the resulting list is indexable:
trace(employees.employee[0].address.*);
---
street11 Main St./street
citySan Francisco/city
stateCA/state
zip98765/zip
trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
---
Doe
You don't have to hard-code the identifiers for the nodes or
attributes... they can themselves be variables:
var whichNode:String = zip;
trace(employees.employee[0].address[whichNode]);
---
98765
var whichAttribute:String =
ssn;
trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
---
789-789-7890
Anew for-each loop lets you loop over multiple nodes
or attributes:
for each (var ssn:XML in [EMAIL PROTECTED])
{
trace(ssn);
}
---
123-123-1234
789-789-7890
Most powerful of all, E4X supports predicate
filtering using the syntax .(condition),which lets you pick out
nodes or attributes that meet a condition you specify using a Boolean
_expression_. For example, you can pick out the employee with a particular social
security number like this, andget her state:
var ssnToFind:String =
789-789-7890;
trace(employees.employee.(@ssn == ssnToFind)..state);
---
MA
Instead of using a simple conditional operator like ==, you
can also write a complicated predicate filtering function to pick out the data
you need.
By the way, although none ofmy examples use XML
namespaces, E4X has complete support for them

RE: [flexcoders] HTTPService and dynamic url
Hi, all, Im new to the list and to
Flex, but a long-time Flash-er. Ive been lurking a couple of days
and finally noticed a question I might actually be able to help out on!
I think if you bind the url attribute to
an objects property, instead of a function, you may have more
success. At this point, it doesnt know when to fire the
getLanguage() function. If it is bound to an objects property,
which you could update on button presses, etc., it would be able to
watch that property and call the service when it changes.
Im fairly new to Flex, so I wont guarantee itll work, but
that method works with other objects (data grids, charts, etc.)
Tracys solution should work too (although, Ive never done
it myself), and youll have to set the property on an event, i.e.:
Button id=myButton
click=loadXML(); /
function loadXML() {
//
// set your url string here
//
my_service.url = "">
}

Special thanks to Abdul for the link he mentioned concerning
the multi-language feature and for Manish for his article...
The function which initialize my HTTPService call
mx:Application width=100%
height=100% xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxmlinitialize=initAppli()
public function initAppli() {
srvLocaleService.send();
}***
Script defining the HTTService in my Application
It works correctly
mx:HTTPService id=srvLocaleService
url="" result=resultHandler_H1_R(event.result)
fault=resultHandler_H1_F(event.fault) /
mx:Model id=locale
{ srvLocaleService.result.strings }
/mx:Model
But this one not
mx:HTTPService id=srvLocaleService
url="" getLanguage() }result=resultHandler_H1_R(event.result)
fault=resultHandler_H1_F(event.fault) /
mx:Model id=locale
{ srvLocaleService.result.strings }
/mx:Model
Script defining the language I desired
public function getLanguage():String {
var item:Object = accUSA.cbLstLanguages.selectedItem; // The
selected languagecome fromone ComboBox
var itemLabel:String = item.toString();
language = xml/lg_+itemLabel+.xml;
return language;
}
***
The xml I call to define the button's label I want
?xml version=1.0
encoding=iso-8859-1?
strings
btnFindLabelfind/btnFindLabel
/strings
***
The code I use to affect the label of the concerned button
mx:Button styleName=btn label={
locale.btnFindLabel }
Bye
David
