Subject: [flexcoders] Custom ComboBox Class issue


















 



  



  
  
  



Yesterday I posted some code which fixes a bug and 
adds some features to the ComboBox.  Because the ComboBox class has private 
functions in it, I was forced to copy the code into my own class and modify 
it.  No problems except.
 
I had named my class ComboBox simply because I 
copied the code directly from the sdk.  Yesterday I decided it might be a 
better idea to name it something different to distinguish it from the one in 
the sdk.  I went into my class and renamed it to ComboBoxSuper. 

 
Now it doesn't work some of the time.  If I 
use ComboBoxSuper as straight a mxml tag, it fails.  If I create one 
in AS and then addChild it to a container, it works fine.
 
I don't get it.  Can anyone explain this 
behavior?
 
Warren




 









  

RE: [flexcoders] Public Arrays

2010-01-22 Thread Vaibhav Seth

If I got you right, are you getting the references as null inside the array or 
array itself as null ?

Then you can call the function on the close event of the window, inside the 
pop-up component.


Thanks,
Vaibhav Seth.

The the problem, don't seem to be able to make an array public, it will let me

Subject: [flexcoders] How to parse xml with namespaces


















 



  



  
  
  Hi. 



Here is a snippet of xml:

It contains an element with a namespace (c:question) and several elements 
without a namespace.

If I get the whole thing as an XML object, how do I go about accessing all the 
different fields.

E.G. I need to access the c:question text or c:question subelements



So: 1. c:question text: This is a wine question

2. c:question subelements: p.ul.li: Penfolds Grange - no effect or p: A 
bottle shop in a remote country pub sells five different bottled wines. The 
publican increases the price of a bottle of Jacob's Creek core range by 50 
cents.

3. question attribute format: radio



Ive tried setting a namespace for c and a default namespace but cannot 
consistently access elements and values from both namespaces.



Id love your help..

Thanks.

Kr. 

Luke.

RE: [flexcoders] HSlider max/min position

2010-01-22 Thread Vaibhav Seth

Try rotating the control by 180 degree and give a thumb your own inverted icon, 
so that it can appear straight.

Or else, don't set the values to the control directly, but use a function to 
set and get its value, take care of the inversion of the values in the setters 
and getters.

Thanks,
Vaibhav Seth.

RE: [flexcoders] How to dynamically populate the Header Text of Flex Datagrid from XML or from an arrayCollection

2010-01-22 Thread Vaibhav Seth

You need to make it hardcoded, as you hard code the dataField for every column.

Else you need to make use of regex and apply it to the XML to make out your 
nodes for the headers.

Good practice is not to pouplate it like this, instead make proper VOs and 
populate them with your data XML. Your work will be more structured and then 
you have control over the things you mentioned.


Thanks,
Vaibhav Seth.

var xLabels:Array = (Xs[0].label as Array);

labels = new ArrayCollection(xLabels); 

var hObj:Object=new Object();
for (var lObj:int=0; lObj  labels.length; lObj++)
{

hlabel =labels[lObj];
}


public var arrRawData:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();  

__model.arrNewData = event.result.rawdata.record as ArrayCollection;
var xmlResult:XML = XML(event.result);

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

RE: [Spam] RE: [flexcoders] Using Cairngorm and how to display a Popup from aCommand

2009-12-24 Thread Vaibhav Seth

Hi,

Thanks for the appreciation.
Yups you have got it right. But in you statement:

then I have the problem of getting that function reference over into the
2nd CairngormEvent, which isn't created and fired until the Web Service
responder is called

I think you are talking about dispatching an event from the command or Sequence 
Command type of thing.

For that scenario, you can pass on that function reference to the the 2nd 
Cairngorm Event also.
You can keep that parameter in the Event also. So that you always does not need 
to worry about it.
And Function reference is in terms of instance of the command. If your command 
gets fired again before it returns you the result for the last executed method, 
even then you are safe.

Keeping the view reference in the model have pros and cons. I will not prefer 
that way, simply because it breaks the encapsulation, view gets publicly 
exposed as the Model is a singleton class.

But there is no hard and fast rule as well.. :) 

Thanks,
Vaibhav Seth.

Popup from aCommand


















 



  



  
  
  Nice post and thanks for replying...

I understand your first solution, I think it's similar to a ChangeWatcher 
approach... but I'm a bit lost with the 2nd approach...


In my circumstance, I have a button in my view that fires a Flash CLICK event, 
the view-mediator Handles it and fires a CairngormEvent, which invokes a 
CairngormCommand to call a Web Service to fetch some data. The data is loaded 
asynchronously and passed into a new CairngormEvent which then fires a 
CairngormCommand, this Command unpacks the data and if it's all gravy, it will 
update the model and the fetched data is displayed on the current View. If the 
data contains Fault event info then I need to show a custom PopUp component...



I think, you're 2nd solution is storing a private or public function from 
inside the View on the CairngormEvent that is fired to reference it later... If 
I've got that right, then I have the problem of getting that function reference 
over into the 2nd CairngormEvent, which isn't created and fired until the Web 
Service responder is called... Which I believe is completely detached from the 
original CairngormEvent/ Command.



I guess I could put the function ref on the model as a central repository but I 
could also just stick a reference to the View on the model and use that 
reference in the CairngormCommand and call PopUpManager.createPopup...




What are your thoughts cause I'm a bit lost :)

nick

Subject: [flexcoders] Using Cairngorm and how to display a Popup from a Command


















 



  



  
  
  Hi,

If there's a preferred place to ask this, please let me know but I'm working on 
my first Cairngorm project and am getting used to how it all works which is 
great. I have a command that is fired after an event is notified that data is 
received from a Web Service. If there is a Fault or Error I want to show a 
custom Popup Component.



My question is how do others deal with this? If I use PopupManager.add or 
create PopUp I need to pass in the parent : DisplayObject... What is best 
practice to reference the parent ?

Would you create a reference on the model.rootApplication = this; and set that 
on the initialise event and pass that reference in or perhaps you would use 
ChangeWatcher to listen for changes on a model error property which woudl fire 
the Action Script on the mediator to create the PopUp...




What is the best/ nicest/ standard approach to handling this?


Thanks for your help...


Nick

  You need to add the event listener to the SystemManager.



SystemManager handles all events from popup windows.
