[flexcoders] Invoking Javascripts from within an embedded HTML page in an iFrame from Flex 3
This question is a mouthful... so I'll try to be brief: SETUP: HTML Page Wrapper Flex SWF with iFrame HTML Page SWF File (SCORM Object) /HTML Page /Flex SWF with iFrame /HTML Page Wrapper PROBLEM: Is it possible to make a Javascript call from the embedded HTML page within Flex 3 to the HTML Page Wrapper? For example, an event happens within the SWF SCORM file; upon ending of the event, the HTML Page should be informed; at this point, a Javascript would be fired off to the HTML Page Wrapper for additional actions. Is this possible? Thanks.
[flexcoders] Keeping certain attributes of the updateDisplayList while extending Label
Hi, I have extended the Label class by overriding the protected method updateDisplayList. The purpose was to allow showing different cell colors in a dataGrid by checking the value of each dataField (if x 10, fill with green... etc). Now, the problem is, by overriding the updateDisplayList method, I lost the ability to scale the height of each a row when there's more data than the width allows. Or is there another way to do this without affecting the ability to scale? I am relatively new to Flex, so any useful comments are appreciated. Thank you.
[flexcoders] Re: Keeping certain attributes of the updateDisplayList while extending Label
Thanks for your suggestion. I did call the super.updateDisplayList(). Specifically, I am implementing what's beeing shown here: http://butterfliesandbugs.wordpress.com/2007/07/11/using-an-itemrenderer-to-change-the-background-of-a-datagrid-cell/ I am guessing that the itemRenderer is being overridden with the the unscaledWidth and unscaledHeight arguments in the g.drawRect method. And it's drawing with the unscaled numbers. Is there a way to somehow catch the resized height/width and pass those as arguments instead?

[flexcoders] Re: Keeping certain attributes of the updateDisplayList while extending Label
Thanks again. Yeah, I tried that as well. But it doesn't return the resized height but a uniformed height of 18 pixels instead. Is there no other way to capture the height after it's been drawn? I have done the following: var grid1:DataGrid = DataGrid(DataGridListData(listData).owner); trace(grid1.getExplicitOrMeasuredHeight()); It returns the height of the datagrid. trace(getExplicitOrMeasuredHeight()); It returns the 18 px height I mentioned earlier and truncates whatever data that is beyond the 1st line. I have also tried various other get and measure methods to no avail. I may be naive, but is there a way to capture grid1.[height of each data cell] and pass that as argument?

Thanks for this quick debug player tip. I made sure my Flash player was the latest as well as the debug version in my case...

[flexcoders] Re: set breakpoint does not work [SOLVED]
It turns out Firefox 3pre nightly is to blame. It broke Flash (I think). I have been using Minefield versions, and I guess the particular nightly build I was using broke Flash. Asking FlexBuilder to send builds to, say Safari or Camino, put breakpoints right back to work as expected.
