[flexcoders] Re: debugger blows by breakpoints in component
We had the same issue when we imported our Beta projects to the GA release. After much struggling, I finally figured it out! You need the source directory icon to look like a folder with an orange/yellow target symbol, rather than an arrow/link symbol. To do this, I deleted the link to the additional source directory and re-added them through project properties (source paths). Now debugging works fine for me. This has consistently been fixed the same way for all of our team members. So you may want to give that a try... -Scott --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Lisa Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hmm.

I found this in a FAQ: The safest way to set breakpoints in component files is to use the Files list. Start the debugging session, nav you app to where you want to start debugging. Click the Files button on the Debug Toolbar, or go Menu Debug\Files. Select the component you want, usually the .mxml or .as files. The list strips out underscores in filenames, and can be very long, but this method always works. FB will open a temporary file, set the breakpoints, and away you go. But I don't see any Debug\Files option anywhere, and I'm starting to wonder if this FAQ had to do with Flex 1.5 and not 2.0. Has anyone had this problem in 2.0? And if so, how did you solve it? --Lisa Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Great things are happening at Yahoo! Groups.

[flexcoders] DataGrid with dependent columns... recommendation on implementation?
Hi All - We have a dataGrid setup with an ArrayCollection as the dataProvider. In addition, we are making this dataGrid editable with ComboBoxes. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what would be a GREAT approach to setup this with dependent columns? i.e. Depending on what you choose from column 1, column 2's options are changed.. similar with column 3 depending on column 2... We have an implementation running, but has been troublesome with workarounds for this and that.. so I am wondering if anyone wanted to share ideas with alternate strategies.. For instance, itemUpdated events are not listened to while editing the same row when you tab through the columns. This means that the renderers are not updated while you tab. If we extend the ArrayCollection to override the enable/disableAutoUpdate methods, then the rows are going to jump during sorting. (This was the whole reason that the itemUpdated events were queued..) Looking for thoughts/ideas.. -Scott Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Something is new at Yahoo! Groups.

[flexcoders] IFrame, wmode, Firefox, and tabbing....
So, recently, we were exploring options of including an IFrame on our application to display some external content. In doing so, one solution that we found was to include the wmode=opaque on the Object/Embed tag, and display an absolutely positioned IFrame that is updated during the moving of a TitleWindow in Flex. Everything has worked great so far... Yeah! But then... a problem arose. It appears that in FireFox (at least on XP) stops listening to the Shift key when tabbing? (Normally, holding down shift and clicking Tab will tab through the elements backwards. In this specific case, it always tabs forwards regardless of the shift key.) Can this be labeled as a bug? (Even though I bet it will NEVER get fixed, it would be nice to track it so that it gets some visibility.) NOTE: The shift tabbing works fine in IE. Side note: Is there a better place to post bugs like this, rather than sending to a message board where most people may not care about such a specific issue? -Scott Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Yahoo!

[flexcoders] ComboBase value? Possible bug
Hi all - I'm trying to work around an issue that I am having with a custom combo-box. It seems that it is setting the value to empty string (i.e. ""), when it should be null, which is then seen as a difference in the dataGrid itemEditEnd event, and so it tries to cast the "" String to the class type used for display in the ComboBox.It looks like it comes down to this function in ComboBase. value in this case is "", where as it is initialized as null. I'm trying to find out where value gets set to "", but it looks like it must be in the Sprite code, because I can't seem to find any other setters. Does this code make sense? Should it be setting the _selectedItem to 'data' rather than to 'value'... private function setSelectedItem(data:Object, clearFirst:Boolean = true):void { //2 code paths: one for before collection, one after if (!collection || collection.length == 0) { _selectedItem = value; selectedItemChanged = true; invalidateDisplayList(); return; } ... }Thanks much for any help.-Scott

[flexcoders] Triggering update refresh for dataGrid
Hello -
I have some design constraints which is forcing me to use an Array
behind the scenes for updating a dataGrid. In either case, I have a
simpler version of the code here, that basically follows an example in
the docs except that the update is made directly to the array rather
than using the suggested addItemAt(), setItemAt() methods.
I have confirmed that addItemAt and setItemAt do cause the dataGrid to
redraw, however, I need to find what event I need to trigger and/or
listen for to get the redraw to work if I am updating the array myself.
See the following code:
[---START CODE---]

}

{
if (frmName.text != )
{
employees[employees.length] = {name: frmName.text,
email: email.text, phone: phone.text};
}
}
private function updateRow():void
{

{

[flexcoders] Re: Triggering update refresh for dataGrid
I think I have a solution to my refresh problem.
I had tried this in my real project, but didn't really try it in my
small example that I sent to the message group. Perhaps I had a typo
or there was some other change that seems to make it work now, but
here is my solution:
// Basically, in the addRow function, dispatch an event that
// an item has been added to the collection. In my project,
// I hadn't included the event.location, but now that I include
// that it works.. and you don't even have to click on the header
// to see it!
private function addRow():void
{
if (frmName.text != )
{
var newEmployee:Object = {name: frmName.text, email:
email.text, phone: phone.text};
var location:int = employees.length;
employees[location] = newEmployee;
var event:CollectionEvent = new
CollectionEvent(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE);
event.items = new Array(newEmployee);
event.kind = CollectionEventKind.ADD;
event.location = location;
ArrayCollection(dg.dataProvider).dispatchEvent(event);
}
}

The solution that I had to use was to keep track of the column header that is clicked on, and then use that to get the appropriate dataField from the object so that I could compare the two objects. This is not that elegant of a solution, but seems to be working for me. If there is a better way to do this, I am all ears. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, jpwarmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, In Flex 1.5, if you want to use a custom sort for columns in dataGrid you could pass a function to the colunm. That function need to have the following signature: mySortCompareFunction(obj1 : Object, obj2 : Object, columnIndex : Number) : Number In this case, Flex will pass into obj1 and obj2, the data in the cells that need to be compared. In Flex 2, the sort function signature has change into mySortCompareFunction(obj1:Object, obj2:Object) : int and now, Flex pass into obj1 and obj2, the entires rows (as an object, of course).

[flexcoders] Re: ObjectUtil.compare seems a little incorrect for Boolean values
Thanks. I did see the documentation about the 'as' operator. And that is why it confused me that the Flex source code did that for the Boolean. I have hacked around the issue for now, by automatically casting any Boolean's to Numbers before I pass to the ObjectUtil.compare() method. Luckily, in searching through the source code, it appears that this is the only place in the public view of the code that ever tries convert a Boolean to a Number via the 'as' operator. I also assumed that I would be able to trace the sorting calls on a data grid to this method, but the debugger never stopped at all, (which explains why using the default sorting on dataGrid does not show the issue). I think it normally just falls into some generic Array sort in that case... *guess*. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, David Clark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From the help for the as operator (search for operators): Returns the first operand if it is a member of the data type specified by the second operand.

[flexcoders] ObjectUtil.compare seems a little incorrect for Boolean values
I am working to override a sortCompareFunction on a column, and in doins so, I am handling my specific case and when applicable, just passing to ObjectUtil.compare() so as not to reimplement all of the simple type checking. One case that I have is when the comparison objects are Booleans. Looking at the source, it looks like it takes the Booleans and performs a numericCompare on them. Makes sense to me.. assuming that true maps to 1 and false maps to 0. However, strangely enough, they BOTH map to 0. I know I can handle this myself in my own code, but doesn't this seem like a bug? Very simply, execute this: code var a:Boolean = true; var b:Boolean = false; var aNum:Number = a as Number; var bNum:Number = b as Number; Alert.show(Boolean: + a + , + b + ; Number: + aNum + , + bNum); //var comparison:int = ObjectUtil.compare(a, b); // the result here is always 0; /code What would you expect the result to be? Personally, I would have expected: Boolean: true, false; Number: 1, 0 Perhaps I am just getting loopy/tired in figuring this out.

[flexcoders] Follow-up: ObjectUtil.compare seems a little incorrect for Boolean values
So I did a few more tests...
it looks like:
var a:Boolean = true;
var b:Boolean = false;
a as Number // 0
b as Number // 0
Number(a) // 1
Number(b) // 0
>From this, I think ObjectUtil class just needs to be updated in the
internalCompare function:
switch(typeOfA)
{
case boolean:
// Looks like this should be added to the boolean case
// rather than falling down into the number case
{
result = numericCompare(Number(a), Number(b));
break;
}
case number:
{
result = numericCompare(a as Number, b as Number);
break;
}
}

[flexcoders] Re: F2B3: Placing sort arrow on dataGrid
The sorting of the collection is done in the headerReleaseEvent. I'd love to try the updateSortIndexAndDirection method of DataGrid.as, but that is marked private in beta 3 source. I even tried to call the method in case the source was incorrect. But it looks like I don't have access to it. On the flip side, I was able to see that the modelChangedHandler() in DataGrid does call the updateSortIndexAndDirection() for me. However, this does not work if we want secondary and tertiary sorting. (per example from doc mentioned before). In the vupdateSortIndexAndDirection() method, it checks to see if you have more than one field specified in the sort. If so, then basically break out and leave the sortIndex variable at -1 resulting in no sort arrow appearing. Couldn't this have just put the arrow on the first sortField rather than stopping? So for now, if I want a sort arrow, I can only support sorting on a single field (or I need to reimplement how the placeSortArrow()..) My preference is to not reimplement. If you have other ideas, they are much appreciated.

[flexcoders] Re: FB2B3: Transfer Focus from custom editor in dataGrid
What kind of changes are you referring to for the StateEditor.mxml? I believe I need to be able to cancel the event with the preventDefault method. My application is much more complex than this example... The dataField I am using in my application on this column is actually an object navigation path. Because I can't specify a dataField to be myObj.childObj.name, I believe I need to handle it myself to set the appropriate value. As for this example, I was just trying to put forth a smaller test case that originated from the Flex Docs. I suppose my VERY UGLY workaround to this is to reimplement finding the next cell and then dispatching an itemBeginEdit event on that cell. But this doesn't seem logical to me in regards to code maintenance... although, I feel that later in my code, I am going to have to reimplement this anyway because of how we are looking to set the tab focus across datagrids that are positioned next to each other. Any more ideas would be much appreciated?

[flexcoders] Re: DataGridColumn Style
Just out of curiousity.. are you adding the double-period before the
class name (..headerStyle). When I posted it, it should have only
been one period. i.e. .headerStyle It looks like Yahoo is doing
something funny with it.
Anyway.. if you know that your style.css is being included properly
it should work, but it might be best in this case to start with it in
the *.mxml to first validate the style is correct. One thing that I
noticed differently was how you also had dashes on your
alternating-row-colors and header-colors. I think that is incorrect.
As an example, look in installDir\Flex SDK
2.0\frameworks\defaults.css For DataGrid it has:
DataGrid
{
alternatingItemColors: #F7F7F7, #FF;
headerColors: #FF, #E6E6E6;
[I removed a bunch of other styles here]
}
This was copied from the Beta 3 version.
Thanks.

[flexcoders] FB2B3: Transfer Focus from custom editor in dataGrid
I have created a custom editor for my dataGrid. I am also handling
the itemEditEnd event. When focus exists in a cell in this column and
I try to TAB out, I am prevented... In tracing through the code, (in
DataGrid.as, I believe I know why.. but not sure if this is a bug or
by design). Of course, I want to claim it is a bug... so my issue can
get solved, but perhaps there are other reasons..
During the processData method below, we call event.preventDefault().
In DataGrid.as (source code from beta 3), in the
findNextItemRenderer method, there is a check as to
code
if (!itemEditorInstance || endEdit(reason))
/code
and because the itemEditor exists AND the endEdit method returns
false, the code does not fall into the block to BEGIN editing the next
cell.
Take for example the following: (simplified the version taken from
the docs Example: Passing multiple values back from an item editor)
Application file:
?xml version=1.0?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml width=700
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.events.DataGridEvent;
[Bindable]
public var initDG:Array = [
{Company: 'Acme', Contact: 'Bob Jones', Phone:
'413-555-1212',
City: 'Boston', State: 'MA'},
{Company: 'Allied', Contact: 'Jane Smith', Phone:
'617-555-3434',
City: 'SanFrancisco', State: 'CA'} ];
// Define the event listener.
public function processData(event:DataGridEvent):void {
// Check the reason for the event.
if (event.reason == DataGridEventReason.OTHER ||
event.reason == DataGridEventReason.CANCELLED){
// Do not update cell.
return;
}
if(event.dataField == State){
// Disable copying data back to the control.
event.preventDefault();
// Get new state from editor.
myGrid.editedItemRenderer.data.State=
StateEditor(event.currentTarget.itemEditorInstance).selectedItem;
// Close the item editor.
myGrid.destroyItemEditor();
// Notify the list control to update its display.
myGrid.dataProvider.notifyItemUpdate(myGrid.editedItemRenderer);
}
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:DataGrid id=myGrid dataProvider={initDG} editable=true
itemEditEnd=processData(event);
mx:columns
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=Company/
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=City/
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=State width=150
itemEditor=StateEditor
mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
mx:Text selectable=false width=100%
text={data.State}/
/mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer
/mx:DataGridColumn
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=Contact/
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=Phone/
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
/mx:Application
StateEditor.mxml:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:ComboBox xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
selectedItem={data.State}
mx:dataProvider
mx:StringAL/mx:String
mx:StringAK/mx:String
mx:StringAR/mx:String
mx:StringCA/mx:String
mx:StringMA/mx:String
/mx:dataProvider
/mx:ComboBox
So long story short, how do I allow easy tabbing through this
situation...

[flexcoders] F2B3: Placing sort arrow on dataGrid
I am working on a version of adding generic sorting on my class that extends DataGrid. The placeSortArrow method of DataGrid is marked as protected, so I can call the method, but the arrow will never show up because sortIndex has to be set and is marked private. In addition, I can't set some of the other needed variables (i.e. sortDirection on the dataGrid). So I went back to a simpler example... I tried the version in the docs to see if the arrow appears, namely: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/1/flex20beta3/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=0608.html With code like this, what is the recommended way to add a sort arrow? Do I need to reimplement the wheel (so to speak) by creating a sprite and figuring its location, or is there a better way to do this by just calling a method on the dataGrid?

[flexcoders] Re: generic sorts for DataGridColumns?
I'm working on a very similar problem. When I specify the
sortCompareFunction on a DataGridColumn, it looks like it tries to
actually execute that function from the SortField. Try tracing
through and see for yourself...
It looks like it takes the column's datafield and creates a sortField
for it. Then sets the sortCompareFunction from the column as the
compareFunction on the sortField. In which case the SortField's
compare function should have a signature like this: (per doc)
code
function myCompare(a:Object, b:Object):int
/code
Hence the third parameter (fields) that we both seem to try to use is
always null?
There must be a simpler way that we are just not seeing. On a flip
side, I'm going to try to move towards the example in their documentation:

as you can see, I have to hard-code in the value of arfrmsta
in
the
sortalpha() method. How can I drill down and get this value
programatically if I don't have access to something like
columnIndex
(which DOES exist apparently in DataGridListData)? Either
that,
or
I
can iterate over the column headers if something like
isItemSelected
() existed.

[flexcoders] Re: Null error when using specifying itemRenderer on dataGridColumn
I think rendererIsEditor makes sense when both the editor and renderer
are the same object, but in this instance, I am using Text for the
renderer and TextInput for the editor.
As mentioned before, these are not what I am really trying to set for
editor/renderer, but just set to there to simplify the problem as that
is the exact same error. So if we can figure out what the problem is
in this example, I should be able to translate that to my specific
custom renderer/editors.
But just to give it a shot, I tried with the imports (per Matt's idea)
with no luck, and I tried with the rendererIsEditor which made the
column uneditable (because I am not using TextInput).
>From the documentation, it looks like if rendererIsEditor is set, then
the itemEditor is ignored.
Any more ideas?

you need to set rendererIsEditor=true in the code, the RTE will be

Random shot, try importing mx.controls.Text and

think it should have been a compiler error if it was necessary but
Note that the error is for the item editor when you say it's the
renderer
that you change to fix it. Sounds like a bug to me
I'll forward it
inside.

dataGridColumn
I've been struggling for some time now (and I'm assuming this must
just be
so brain-dead simple)...
Trying to set an ItemRenderer and ItemEditor on a datagridColumn. For
certain ItemRenderer's, I am getting a null error. (using Flex 2
beta 2)
NOTE: I am not trying to use these as my actual renderer and editor
classes as they don't really provide anything at all above the
defaults..
but I noticed this gives the EXACT same error. (My actual
renderer extends
from Canvas...)
If you change the itemRenderer to mx.controls.Label, then it works
fine..
and oddly enough Text extends Label. Any ideas?
