[flexcoders] Memory Leak with removePopup
Hi list, I got a nasty memory leak in my Flex app. I got a Menu Class that creates TitleWindows like this ... window = NewWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(main, NewWindow, false)); On the currents Window's close event all EventListeners of it are removed and then I call removePopup(this) in the Window instance. I also use weak references but the window objects seems never to get removed after closing them. Everytime I open a new window instance Flash Player's task in the task manager takes up a couple more MB and they don't decrease after closing window instances. Is it necessary to dereference the windows object in the Menu object with window = null? The problem about that is that I'm not quite sure how and when to let the Menu know to dereference it. Thanks for any hint on this!

[flexcoders] How to set EventListeners to undrawn components on a ViewStack?
Hi list, I'm using a LinkBar with a ViewStack and on any of the ViwStack contents I have a button that needs to get a MouseEvent listener. When I start the app, I get an exception : Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. Because all the buttons on the VieStacks that have not yet been drawn are not defined for the AddEventListener. Is there an easy workaround for this situation?

Thanks Gordon! Sometimes I dont see the easiest solution by myself! However Im trying to keep MXML code and functionality code separate so Im wondering if there is another workaround for this?

RE: [flexcoders] Custom Window Component - Is this possible?
Thanks a lot Jester, I'm trying to follow your suggestions but I haven't
delved much yet in creating components with AS.
Is there a way to set the border metrics of a container inside the custom
component? I'd like to set a VBox to always have a 10 pixel padding. Not
sure how do to that in AS and the borderMetrics property is read-only!
Thanks,
Sascha

2 things.
First, you cannot put stuff in a Container based component that already
has
stuff in it via MXML. You can via ActionScript.
So, write your EditorWindow in ActionScript, and you'll be fine.
Second, make the default width and height of it 400 width, and 300 height,
not 100%. Percentage widths can do unexpected things. As a component
developer, you should give it a reasonable size, and let the peeps using
it
dictate the size.
So...
package
{
import mx.containers.TitleWindow;
public class EditorWindow extends TitleWindow
{
// you're goodness here
}
}
Then, you can use the code you were doing, like:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
EditorWindow xmlns=gui.parts.*
xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
width=400 height=300 xmlns:ns1=gui.parts.*
/EditorWindow

Subject: [flexcoders] Custom Window Component - Is this possible?
I'm trying to create a custom component in Flex2 based on TitleWindow that
should be the base for a couple of windows that all have more or less
different controls but also have several parts in common like an 'Ok' and
a
'Cancel' Button that are at the bottom of every window.
I've created a component named EditorWindow which is the base for all the
other windows. Here's a simple mxml of it ...
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute
width=100% height=100% showCloseButton=true
mx:VBox left=10 right=10 top=10 bottom=10
mx:HBox width=100% height=100%
/mx:HBox
mx:HRule width=100%/
mx:HBox width=100%
mx:Button label=OK width=60/
mx:Button label=Cancel width=60/
/mx:HBox
/mx:VBox
/mx:TitleWindow
And a window class that is based on this component would naturally look
like
this ...
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
EditorWindow xmlns=gui.parts.*
xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
width=400 height=300 xmlns:ns1=gui.parts.*
/EditorWindow
Ideally the varying controls of every inheriting Window should go into the
empty HBox above the HRule and the two buttons at the bottom but if I
create
a window based on this and try to drag a component into the place it will
not insert any component code. If I manually write the component code
between the EditorWindow tags it will fill out the whole window and
ignores the boundaries of the HRule and the two buttons. Does somebody
know
if it possible to get this working differently?
Thanks for any advice!

[flexcoders] Using custom StyleSheet with TextArea?
Hi, I'm trying to use a Flex2 TextArea component to display dynamic text that can have different color and fontWeight for every line of text. If I'm setting up a StyleSheet object and use it for the TextArea, it uses the colors etc. from the StyleSheet object but the text is totally messing up, it seems to remove line breaks and the style formatting only always remains on the last line of text. The text that was already added to the TextArea becomes raw (as if no stylesheet was added). My question: Is it possible to use a StyleSheet object on a TextArea and maintain line-breaks or is it possible to create a new Style Definition (using the StyleManager) for the TextArea that can have custom styles?

[flexcoders] Two Flex 2 Components Questions
Hi list, Could somebody give me a hint how to disable the roll-out delay for Menu- and Tree List Flex 2 Components? I'd like to get the menu/list contents appearing immediately without any tween/easing effect. The second question I got is how to decrease the vertical size for Menu items? I can set the font size to 9 (smallest size without getting blur Font) but the size that one menu item takes stays the same. Is there any property to change that? I haven't found any info on these things in the Flex docs so far. Thanks for any help!

RE: [flexcoders] Two Flex 2 Components Questions
Thanks a lot Manish!
I've created a style object like this
mx:Style
.testStyle
{
openDuration: 0;
rowHeight: 5;
}
/mx:Style
And use it on the mx:MenuBar and mx:Tree with styleName=testStyle.
The opendelay is gone but the rowHeight hasn't changed. Is there anything
else I need to take into account to make this work?

Hi - and welcome to Flex :)
MXML files get turned into AS prior compilation and you can do pretty
anything either in MXML or AS. A typical usecase is to setup a
Controller inside your main Application file. This can be done either in
a Script block or by tag syntax as Tracy suggested. Below are two
examples - email code, but you should get the idea :)
1) Script style
mx:Application creationComplete=initApp()
mx:Script
import foo.bar.Controller;
private var controller:Controller;
private function initApp():void
{
controller = new Controller();
controller.init(this);
}
/mx:Script
/mx:Application
2) Tag style
mx:Application creationComplete=controller.init(this)
Controller id=controller xmlns=foo.bar.* /
/mx:Application
// Controller.as
package foo.bar
{
import mx.core.Application;
public class Controller
{
public function init(application:Application)
{
// whatever...
}
}
}

[flexcoders] New to Flex, couple of questions
Hi list, I'm familiar with ActionScript 2.0 but new to Flex and just started learning Flex 2.0 and AS3.0. I'm amazed how easy and flexible components can be used with Flex but I got a few questions about it... So far I have only seen MXML code with embedded ActionScript. But I prefer to write the ActionScript in a class structure. Is it possible to keep both ActionScript Classes and MXML code in their own files and somehow link these? If so, how do I do that? I'd like use an Ant build file to compile the Flex apps but I'm not very familiar with the compiler syntax yet. Does somebody know of any examples on the web on how to use the compiler in a command line or an example Ant build file for it? Thanks for any help!
