Re: [flexcoders] Advantages and Disadvantages of skinning
In the march 2010 skinning concept was introduced in version Flex 4. Its been almost 2 years, it seems like many people don't have in depth knowledge of skinning. I am struggling a lot to understand skinning properly. I have started looking into it very recently and I think its not much useful until I should have thorough knowledge. Jerry, James Thanks for your input. I believe it is useful in some extent and no in some other, just could not realize what are they! It will be a good knowledge sharing if everyone who knows skinning better can input/share their point of view.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 3 -> 4 migration and s:States
In that example he has mentioned like bellow. WORKS *but not this one* mx inside s ok but s inside mx is not ok. Is it ok!! Thanks. And I don't know why are you so desperate to use spark inside mx, using spark is better that mx.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 3 -> 4 migration and s:States
Set/assign the state( currentState="Oct2010" ) inside creationComplete
handling method.
Ex.
protected function
application1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
this.currentState = " Oct2010";
}
May be all the states might have not laid-out while executing
Its my guess. Do reply with your results.
Thanks

Re: [flexcoders] Zombie in flex
Hello Michal, Thank you so much Michal. This will do for me. You saved my time. And I am curious to know are there any other ways to implement this? A Native NativeWindow...

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Binding behaviour
Ok. But Its Not compulsory that you have to write a clone method. Anyways
other way you can try is
public function cloneLeaf():CallMonitoringLeaf
{
var obj:CallMonitoringLeaf = new CallMonitoringLeaf();
obj.optionCallMonitoring = this.optionCallMonitoring;
obj.nodesSelected =this.nodesSelected;
obj.dataCallMonitoring = this.dataCallMonitoring;
obj.nodeName = this.nodeName;
return obj;
}
So now calling cloneLeaf() returns new duplicated object.
Hope this works for you. I did't test it, however your reply will tell
about that. :)
Thanks

Re: [flexcoders] Binding behaviour
Use this.
import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;
ObjectUtil.copy(myObj);
ObjectUtil.copy(arrColl) as ArrayCollection;

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 4 & CSS
Hello Alex,
Thanks for the note. I am wondering why new release build of flex/spark
does't have this feature? Its up to user whether to use it or not.
Background on components is the basic requirement of many clients now a
days.
Hope in future adobe will implement/add this feature. Thanks for the reply
Alex.
Regards,
Myadi

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 4 & CSS
I too have tried in many ways, but could not resolve the problem. Doing few
more tests.
BTW one option is to use addChild();
Something like this.
var image : Image = new Image();
image.source = "FSCalc/images/BannerBackground.jpg";
image.scaleContent = true;
image.maintainAspectRatio =false;
image.percentWidth = 100;
image.percentHeight = 100;
PictureBox.addChild(image);
I am eyeing on this post. All the best guys

Re: [flexcoders] Filtering multilingual text within a datagrid filter column
Solution:
Use bellow function to convert Japanese text(Double byte text) to English
text (Single byte text) and pass returned text to filterfunction.
Its so simple :)
1. public static function changeToBj(s:String):String
2. {
3. if (s == null)
4. return null;
5. var temps:String="";
6. for(var i:Number=0; i < s.length; i++)
7. {
8. if (escape(s.substring(i, i + 1)).length > 3)
9. {
10. var temp:String=s.substring(i, i + 1);
11. if (temp.charCodeAt(0) > 6)
12. {
13. var code:Number=temp.charCodeAt(0) - 65248;
14. var newt:String=String.fromCharCode(code);
15. temps+=newt;
16. }
17. else
18. {
19. if (temp.charCodeAt(0) == 12288)
20. temps+=" ";
21. else
22. temps+=s.substring(i, i + 1);
23. }
24. }
25. else
26. {
27. temps+=s.substring(i, i + 1);
28. }
29. }
30. return temps;
31. }
32.
1.
