[flexcoders] xml parser
A few months ago, I downloaded a sample written by Michael J. Prichard that took an object and translated it to xml and then posted this to a jsp. Somehow I lost the sample and I'm having trouble finding where it was on the web. Does anyone know where I can find this sample? This was the function call in the sample to translate to xml: function toXML(object2Convert:Object, arrayName:String):String Thank you, Kim -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

[flexcoders] RE: OutOfMemory Error
As suggested I ran the compile outside of Tomcat. The application compiled just fine using mxmlc. No out of memory error.So Iguess I can assume the problem lies in Tomcat. I upped the memory allocation in the catalina.bat file to 1024. No luck. I'm still getting the error compiling with Tomcat. If anyone else has any suggestions, please let me know. I'm still wondering if it has to do with flex beta 2 since the problem did occur shortly after installing that. Although I completely removed it and still have the same problem. Thanks, Kim --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Peter Farland" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yep, as Carson said, I'd be interested to see what happens when you change the maximum memory allocation size for the jvm.config file used by mxmlc? I'm also interested to see whether other simpler applications cause this error? If it still happens then, would it be possible to prepare a reproducible test case and file a bug (or prepare a bug and send it to me so I can forward it to QA?). At the very least if you could describe the number of components, classes and files used in the application it might help too.

[flexcoders] Passing binding data to a custom combobox
I have a statePicker
component that I created. If I try to pass a value to the statePicker,
then the comboBox will display the proper label for the data I passed in.
For example,
this line of code
will display Massachusetts in the comboBox.
StatePicker
id="state" width="200" statePassedIn="MA" /
What I really need
to do is bind the data to the variable, statePassedIn. I have successfully
bound data to a custom component before with no trouble, but for some reason
cannot figure out how to get the data to pass in for the the comboBox.
statePassedIn shows up empty in the statePicker component. For
example,
here is a snippet of
what I am trying to do, that won't work.
var
test:String;
function onInit()
{ //I have determined that this ftn is
indeed running properly
test = "MA";
}
...
StatePicker
id="state" width="200" statePassedIn="{test}" /
...
StatePicker.mxml

( var i:Number=0; iitems.length; i++ ) { //loop over the items
in the dataProvider dataValueCur =
items[i].data; //get the current item.data
value if ( dataValueCur == dataValueInit
) { //compare desired value to current item.data
valuestateComboBox.selectedIndex = i;
//set the seletedIndex of the combo box

} }//for ( var

false;}

[flexcoders] LinkBar
Is there anyway that I can have the text of the selected link label be a different color? I know that there is textSelectedColor, but this only changes the color when you actually press down the mouse button. I would like the link to stay that color until another link is selected.

[flexcoders] Tile
Is there anyway that I can override the rows and columns that a tile uses to create itself? I would like to determine that there be 3 rows across, but the Tile tag automatically sets up 2x2.

[flexcoders] fade when image changes
I am trying to use
the PhotoViewer sample to help me create a fade effect. In the below
code, I have a component that successfully fades in when the component
(cardfileToImage) is created. I would like the first image to fade out
while a new image fades in when the user selects a new image. Just
like the PhotoViewer sample. PhotoViewer is fading an actualy image, but I
need to fade a whole component because it is an image pair. How can I get
the app to fade the images in and out when the user selects a new image
pair? The component fades properly when it is first created, but I'm not
sure what to use to tell it to fade when the user select a new image. The
new image does appear, but does not fade in.
Here is the code I
have for the fading:
?xml
version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?
mx:Canvas
xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"
xmlns="*"
mx:Script
![CDATA[ var
activeControl;public var
src:String;/* public function
loadCard()
{ if
(activeControl==card1)
{
// card2.imageName =
imageName;
} else
{
card1.imageName =
imageName;
} }*/function set
imageName(src)
{ if
(activeControl==card1)
{
card2.imageName =
src; }
else
{
card1.imageName =
src;
} }
function
mix(showObj, hideObj)
{
activeControl=showObj;
var e1 = new
mx.effects.Fade(hideObj);
e1.duration=800;
e1.alphaTo = 0;
var e2 = new
mx.effects.Fade(showObj);
e2.duration=800;
e2.alphaTo = 100;
var mixEffect = new
mx.effects.Parallel();
mixEffect.addChild(e1);
mixEffect.addChild(e2);
mixEffect.playEffect();
} ]]
/mx:Script
cardfileToImage
id="card1" sizeType="" creationComplete="mix(card1,
card2)"/cardfileToImage id="card2" sizeType=""
creationComplete="mix(card2, card1)"/
/mx:Canvas
Thank you so
much,
Kim

Can Flex do this?
Title: Message I am new to Flex and am trying to get a feel for the capabilities of Flex. GE has created a drawing tool that I know they utilized Flash to create. You can view this great tool at http://www.imaginationcubed.com. I am wondering if Flex has the capabilities to create something similar, orif you would need to create the tool in Flash and embed the Flash tool into a Flex application? Thank you.
