Re: [flexcoders] use an actionscript class from a SWC in actionscript
If you've added the swc to your project you should be able to access it as if the class is in the same project. Try bringing up code hints as you type 'Tracer' and see if it's listed. Otherwise try adding an import to the package that the class is in (assuming it's in a package).

I don't particularly think it SHOULD, though. It seems weird to set the paddingTop/Bottom for a grid when you want the padding for each row. If you set the paddingLeft/Right properties, they don't apply to each column but instead apply to the grid. If it was a VBox, those padding properties would apply only to the whole box, not as padding between the controls. That's what verticalGap is for. Kind of inconsistent, don't you think? Seems like there should probably be column level padding properties, possibly with a separate verticalGap property on the grid. How would you go about setting a paddingTop for a grid, without having to throw in a kludge where you embedded it in another control and used its padding property?

Re: [flexcoders] security sandbox violations
When you create a Flex workspace, that workspace path is then added to the list of directories ³trusted² by the Player (in flexbuilder.cfg). Therefore, on your machine any files that are in that directory (or a subdirectory of that folder) are trusted. When your friend is trying to run it, the Player is trying to access an un-trusted location. -mac On 10/16/07 8:24 PM, Stephen Roy J.

I encountered a problem with a case like this: I had an Image object loading a file via relative path, i.e. mx:Image source=assets/filename.png /. The swf works fine on my machine. A coworker checks out the source and compiles it on her own machine, and she gets a sandbox violation error. The difference is that she's using command line mxmlc to compile, I'm using Flex Builder. Neither of us are using the use-network compiler param. Of course, I ask her to just set the param and she can then run the swf without error. But I'm curious as to why it would behave differently in her case and mine. Thanks, Roy

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2.0 beta TextArea question
If I understand you correctly, heres the difference between your examples In your example where you set the vPosition from a Button: private function setLogVPosition():void { txtLog.vPosition = txtLog.maxVPosition; } the text in the text area was already set and fully drawn prior to setting the scroll position . All you are doing here is setting the vPosition on the text that is currently (and already) loaded into the textArea.. so theres no problem. In your other example, you were first changing the text of the textArea, and on the next line you set the vPosition. In this case, by the time you set the vPosition, the textArea had not fully updated with its new text. So, by calling validateNow() in between changing the textArea contents and setting the vPosition, you are telling the textArea to perform any necessary property updates, including redrawing if need be. So then by the time you set the vPosition, the textArea is ready to go. Let me know if that doesnt clear things up. -Mac From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Gordon Smith Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 6:37 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2.0 beta TextArea question Sorry, I'm not following you.

This thread explained that setting a property like the 'text' of a TextArea does not immediately update other properties such as maxVPosition; by default this happens latter, for performance reasons. However, you can force all properties to update immediately by calling validateNow() on a UIComponent. So if you set the text, call validateNow(), and then set the vPosition to the maxVPosition, it should scroll to the bottom.
