[flexcoders] How to prevent style inheritance?
Hello, I've developed a component which extends Panel (e.g. class MyPanel) to which I apply some styles. It works perfectly fine. However, when I put another Panel inside MyPanel it inherits some of the styles of its parent. That's quite annoying. I've uploaded a demo [1] which shows the problem. When you click the button Change style the Panel inside MyPanel changes its colors (headerColors) too. Can I somehow prevent in MyPanel that its children inherit the styles from the parent? It would be great if the children don't get notified about changes to styleName in MyPanel at all. If that's not possible I'd like at least to filter out some of the style changes so that the children of MyPanel don't inherit for example the headerColors. I'd be really grateful for some tips or code snippets. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Gerhard [1] http://mjl.at/temp/demo2/

[flexcoders] Cairngorm: AnnounceFaultEvent
Hello, I'm currently experimenting with the Universal Mind Cairngorm extensions and I'm wondering where I should add an event listener for the AnnounceFaultEvent. I'd like to have one listener for all faults which logs the errors ... I just can't figure out where I should put my listener. :-/ I'd be grateful for any hint. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Gerhard

I managed to do this with lots of event listeners that dispatch the events from sub-objects ... In case you want to use the sort function in the grid you have to implement a custom sortCompareFunction as well. However, there are a few problems.

[flexcoders] DataGrid - data binding when dataField is field.innerField
Hello, I often have to use field.innerField as dataField in some (Advanced)DataGrids. Therefore I've written a labelFunction as mentioned in [1] which displays the value of such nested objects. However, for obvious reasons the DataGrid doesn't notice changes to innerField. I've created a small example [2] which demonstrates the problem. When you change manufacturer in the TextInput you see the changes immediately in the DataGrid, but when you change the driver's name the DataGrid doesn't refresh. You can use View source if you want. The example is quite simple. Do you know a way to automatically update the DataGrid whenever the bound column (eg. field.innerField) changes? Is it possible to dispatch an event when innerField changes so that the DataGrid knows which cell it should refresh?

[flexcoders] Universal Mind Cairngorm Extensions - Examples?
Hello, Are there any examples which show how to use all those new things found in the Universal Mind Cairngorm Extensions? I know there are some bits and pieces in the ASDocs, however, I'm looking for a complete sample application that uses all extensions and shows how and when to use it. Or are there at least some blog posts, tutorials or something like that which show how to use those extensions? Best regards, Gerhard

When a user works for hours with the application he will be working with a lot of data. Without freeing the memory that wouldn't be possible. Moreover, after some time he would be working with old and inaccurate data since the data is already loaded on the client so it won't load the new data from the server.
[flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm Model Locator
That's exactly what I was thinking about after I wrote my first message. I could do this in the Commands that load / unload the data. I have to check there if the data is already loaded anyway, so that could be the right place to track which window is using the data. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, jer_ela [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I assume that when a new window is opened you have an event that causes the data it needs to be loaded into the model locator. And you will probably have a check to see if the data is already loaded so you don't load it twice. Just keep track in the model of how many users there are for that data. When windows close or otherwise no longer need the data have them send an event that causes the counter to decrement. When it gets to 0 you can unload the data.
[flexcoders] Cairngorm Model Locator
Hello! I'm currently creating the software design for a large application which we are going to build using Flex 3, Cairngorm 2.2.1 and SabreAMF (PHP). I have already created my first prove of concept, however, I have a few issues with Cairngorm's Model Locator. 1) How can I make sure that unused data gets removed from the Model Locator? The simple solution would be to destroy the data that a view loaded when the view gets closed. However, we are going to use flexmdi and it's quite possible that one or more MDI windows are using the same data. The only solution I've come up so far is to make the Model Locator aware of which window uses which data. Therefore it could free the unused data when no view uses it anymore. Yet, this could be a very error-prone solution. Moreover, I would loose the last bit of loose coupling. So, I'm not sure if that's a good way to handle this. Well, the Model Locator itself is often seen as an anti-pattern as well ... 2) Should I really put everything into _one_ Model Locator? I guess there could be quite a large number of public variables. Our application will have up to 50 different views and about twice as many VO ... I'd be really grateful if somebody could enlighten my ;-) or if you could give me some tips on how to solve those two problems. Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards, Gerhard
