Hi there, I've been trying to drag a song from itunes into my app, but the clipboard (in AIR) doesn't seem to have any format acceptable to AIR. Does anyone have any idea how to overcome this? thanks! Paul

Re: [flexcoders] Re: setting chart vaxis to visible range rather than entire dataProviderRange

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm separation of action script and mxml

a separate adapters package that sits at the same level as view or model.To me, something like this very much comes down to personal style, just ask yourself the questions:does it make sense to me being where it is

Re: [flexcoders] Re: DataGrid Totals Row
if i can suggest a slightly different approach, how about using a kind of adapter to acheive what you are after:in quick & dirty code:
private function adaptDP(inArr:Array):Array{ var outArr:Array =[];var total:Number = 0 for (var i:Number=0;i total += inArr.value;outArr.push(inArr[i]);}outArr.push({name:"Total", value:total})return outArr;}this of course wont help with the sorting thing, but Im sure you could work a way around that too if you needed it...

Re: [flexcoders] Cast or create local var - which is best \ performant
I would go for b personally because:it makes for more legible code (IMHO)it means you dont have to type as much (I'm lazy)in AS2, local variables were stored in a register that made access much faster - don't know if this is still the case in AS3 (anyone?)

Re: [flexcoders] Centering an image over a chart
is this over the entire chart, or just the area where the lines are drawn (ie not including axes...)if its the latter, there is a protected dataRegion getter that will give you the size of the area you want to fill with your image... On 7/26/06, parksch2 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi all, I have a question as to the best way to center an image over a chart. Basically I'd like to place an image over a chart when no data is returned. I can't use absolute positioning because of the different resolution possibilities. Further, we have a zoom component that makes the chart full screen and the image would have to re-center itself. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Re: [flexcoders] testing of Flex apps
for unit testing, you can use either asunit: www.asunit.org or flexunit - which is on the adobe labs page.They are both based on JUnit - I've looked into both of them, if you want a comparison, here's my writeup of them: http://www.eyefodder.com/blog/2006/07/flexunit_asunit_deathmatch_res.shtmlIf you are looking at a Continuous integration setup, there's also details on my blog about setting that up... If you are loking for functional testing, then as shannon mentioned, QTP supports Flex2, or at least will in the near future...hthPBHOn 7/26/06, Shannon Hicks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: QuickTest Pro claims Flex 2 support: http://www.mercury.com/us/products/quality-center/functional-testing/quicktest-professional/ Last on the page Shan From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Karl JohnsonSent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 8:18 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.comSubject: RE: [flexcoders] testing of Flex apps Here is a well written article from adobe on the testing of a flash based application: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/blueprint/articles/qa_petmarket.html Unless something has come out recently, I don't know of any automated testing tools that directly support flash apps (flex). You can use some of the apps like homer that basically just record exact screen location where you click and type, and then playback using the same coordinates. This is not the most reliable way of testing, but it can for some. Has anyone tried writing an automated testing framework for flex? One that would run as a flex app, and load the target app to be tested inside of its self? Then it could communicate with it and "click" and "type". I have done several automated testing frameworks like this for web applications (since I was never a fan of record and playback or buying software to do it), but I haven't tried it on flash/flex. I am almost positive you could do it though.

from the docs, the unitSize property represents: "The width, in pixels, of a single data unit" but looking at the code for DateTimeAxis, it actually represents the number of milliseconds in a day (thats the data unit Im using).

It should be in the directory specified by a combination of the

command prompt and type "set").
on windows xp, the default should be something like c:\Documents and

[flexcoders] [Flex2] (re)loading sound
Hi there,
I'm using the following function to load a sound file. It all works
just fine the first time, but when I try loading a second file, I get
the following error:
IllegalOperationError: Error #2037: Functions called in incorrect
sequence, or earlier call was unsuccessful.
at components::SoundPlayer/loadSound()
at AS3Loader/AS3Loader$385$private::loadTheSound()
at AS3Loader/soundButton_click()
any ideas what I am doing wrong?
the function :
public function loadSound(url:String){
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
__snd.load(request);
__channel = __snd.play();
}
tia

Re: [flexcoders] VBox scrollbar bug ?
what happens if you call super.createChildren() at the beginning of the createChildren method?
On 1/12/06, superabe superabe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello list,
This sounds like a really basic thing so I can't believe this is a bug, so probably am doing something wrong.
I have a custom AS container(extends off VBox) in which I create a large number of child controls by overriding the createChildren method.
The component is used in Main.mxml file inside a VBox which is set to 100% height and width like so (pseudo):
The issue is when the scrollbars show up on the Application, rather than on the VBox where I would expect it to !
If I replace the parent vbox with a canvas scrollbars show up around the canvas as it should
My component code is:
MyContainer.as
class _test.MyContainer extends VBox{
function MyContainer(){ } public function createChildren():Void{ for(var i:Number=0;i<100;i++){ this.createChild(Button,undefined,{label:"a_"+ i}); } }}
Anybody faced this before or know what I am doing wrong?
TIA
