[flexcoders] Scroll Bars Headache
I am creating a panel with a number of items in it that require the setting width=100% and height=100% but when it come to placing a panel within a window with scroll bars it don't like it. The window also defined as 100% width and height just re-sizes to fit the content of the panel rather than remaining the same size and displaying scroll bars. When I fix the height of the window (height=200) scroll bars appear but i want the window to fit the available space. I tried creating a vbox at 100% x 100% and place a window in it at the height of the created vbox but the absolute value of height is not created when the percentHight is used. All in all I can't get what I want to work. - Any ideas anyone?
[flexcoders] Button Information
I have created a number of buttons via ActionScript and displayed them on the screen, I would like to open a popUp showing related information. The data needed to show the information is a combination of text and numerics. I normaly just add the data to the id-tag and when it is clicked pass the id-tag information to the popUp but due to the number of diffrent pieces of data needed i need this is difficult. Can anybody suggest a good way of adding information to a button? - Stephen

Could possibly be, but any evidence to the fact has been swept under the carpet as I change it to states for a while and it worked.

[flexcoders] horizontalAlign Puzzling

[flexcoders] Re: How do I get an array of Images
Thank you, thank you. I did know they started at 0 but I must have been working to late and let that slip from my mind. I did read about Vector's and how they where more suited than arrays as long as if they where of the same type although I don't seem to be able to use them in Flex, I currently have the 3.2 compiler are they not available or does it need including as a package? - Stephen
[flexcoders] Identifying which image caused the event?
If i have an event Listener of the following type on an array element how do I
determine the element from within the event so as to set one of the elements
properties.
e.g.
imgArray[imgIdx].addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, adjustImage);
private function adjustImage(e:Event):void
{
var picWidth:int=(e.currentTarget as Image).width;
imgArray[???].height=picWidth * 2;
}

[flexcoders] Image Size
Is it possible to find out the dimensions of an image without actually loading the image? I am going to use an image inline with a Text() object using the normal img src='xyz.png' etc and I have discovered it you state the height you also need to state the width and if you state the width you have to state the height, which is a pain it doesn't automatically scale one with the other. - Stephen
[flexcoders] Bounding Box Problem (Again)
This time it is in the dynamic code... pageContent is a VBox on a TitleWindow. var box:Box=new Box(); box.percentWidth=100; box.setStyle(horizontalAlign,center); var image:Image = new Image(); image.percentWidth = psize; image.source = med2file; box.addChild(image); pageContent.addChild(box); How do I stop the bounding box from rocketting off the bottom of the VBox. I've even got scroll bars to show for it. How do I tightly close my bounding box around the scaled image? - Stephen

[flexcoders] Image Bounding Box
When I place an image that is 400px x 200px inside a box that is 100px x 100px the image shrinks to 100px x 50px to fit inside the box as it should. Now I am trying to place a number of these boxes above each other and having the 50px of blank space is not good so I tried removing the height property expecting the bounding box to snap in to 50px well it didn't it snapped out to 200px the height of the original box before scaling. How on earth do you get the box's bonding box to fit the image. I tried to detect the image height but it just said it was 0. Not helpful. Any clues? - Stephen Brown.
[flexcoders] Re: Image Bounding Box

[flexcoders] Single Record Tables
I have a table with a single record in it and I've been trying to read it with
not too much luck. Tried a couple of ideas one was using try and catch which
seemed to work but has stopped working for some unknown reason. This is my
latest attempt to load an ArrayCollection.
Anybody got any suggestions?

{
if (event.result.response.data.row[0].usrid)
{
// Deal with many rows
memberData=event.result.response.data.row as ArrayCollection;

else

// Deal with a single row.
var rcd:Object=new Object();
rcd.usrid=event.result.response.data.row.usrid;
rcd.grpid=event.result.response.data.row.grpid;
rcd.membstatus=event.result.response.data.row.membstatus;
memberData=new ArrayCollection();
memberData.addItem(rcd);
}
else
{
// Deal with no rows.
memberData=new ArrayCollection();

[flexcoders] HTTPService Internet Explorer
I set up a popup TitleWindow which sets up a HTTPService and do a FindAll, I listen for the data coming in and then populate my datagrid. I then make some changes and post them off to the service and then close the popup. When I open the popup again and the data is re-read in Firefox it is read correctly as I have changed it but when its run under Internet Explorer it has not detected the changes. Checking the database the data has changed. Why would I.E. not read the changes made but Firefox does? - Stephen
[flexcoders] Re: HTTPService Internet Explorer
If feels as if I.E. is caching the first read and when it goes back after the changes are made its just re-reading the cache. Has anybody else found this, and maybe found a solution?
Re: [SPAM] [flexcoders] HTTPService Internet Explorer
Yup managed to sort it out. Stuck the time into the URL string to make it unique var dNoCache:Date = new Date(); params.nocache = dNoCache.getTime().toString(); :) - Stephen

I have a video that plays in a popup TitleWindow when I press a button. If I run the website at localhost it plays and replays fine. But if I upload it to a webserver it will only play once.

Of cause, thanks for the reassurance. Just one more thing though, how would I with the routine I currently have effect a tick box in the same data grid. So that if I should tick this item renderers tick box another item renderers tick box will also be ticked in the same row. @v@ Stephen Brown

That sounds a lot easier, maybe there is some listener I can add for changes made in the Array Collection, hmm! Will have a look at that tomorrow. Thanks Stephen

[flexcoders] Composite Primary Key
I have a composite primary key in my table (i.e. primary key consists of two attributes). I am trying to update them in Flex.

Does anyone have any modifications to the php Service thats provided with Flex builder that could enable me to get composite keys working? - Stephen Brown

Hope this helps some one. All sorted now Insert routine worked fine, but the Update errored with 1-1 for key 'Primary'.

[flexcoders] Flex Builder 3 - Crashes

This wouldn't be a problem as I save (export) my work but the exported work dosn't restore properly, while before I was working in the debug area it insists on working in the release area. Which is not how I had it set up. The only way I recover successfully is to create a new project, set up all my php services and copy the files back, which takes ages.

was possible but only after sorting the collection, this is what I am having
trouble with.

acUsers = event.result.response.data.row;
acUsers.fields = [new SortField(usraccount, true)];
acUsers.sort=acUsers;
acUsers.refresh();
}
I am getting the following error at (acUsers.sort=acUsers;):
implicit coercion of a value of type
mx.collections:ArrayCollection
to an unrelated type
mx.collections:Sort.
and also an error at (acUsers.fields = [new SortField(usraccount, true)];)
