[flexcoders] Possible to create a chart with clustered & overlaid columns? (picture inside)
I haven't been able to find an example of this, or any indication in the docs of how to do this, but I would imagine it is possible. I want to chart some data that is hierarchical. Essentially each parent has a few children. I want the children to be clustered columns inside a big column which indicates the parent (which is the sum of all the children) I found this example image which kinda shows what I am thinking of: http://peltiertech.com/images/2009-02/MariBar_OverlapColumns.png Thanks!

[flexcoders] How to link effects so that one starts after one finishes?
I have two components, and I want to swap between them using wipe down/up. i.e. click a button, the visible panel slides down, and after that panel is no longer visible, the other panel slides up and takes its place. I have tried something like the following (please excuse the crude example), but the effects occur at the same time, and it doesn't look that good. http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute">
[flexcoders] Possible to change the Fill Color for ColumnSeries on itemRollOver?
Is it possible to change the fill color of 1 column when the mouse is over it?
I can't seem to figure it out I have something along these lines:
And my hover function looks like:
private function updateHoverColor(event:ChartItemEvent):void {
var col:ColumnSeriesItem = ColumnSeriesItem(event.hitData.chartItem);
col.fill = hoverBarColor;
}
Unfortunately, nothing happens. No errors are thrown, but the color of the
column which is being hovered over is not changed.
I also tried adding the mouseOver/rollOver callbacks to the ColumnSeries, and
used a function as such:
private function updateHoverColor(event:ChartItemEvent):void {
event.target.setStyle("fill", hoverBarColor);
}
but that resulted in the color of all of the columns to change.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
[flexcoders] SWFLoader & Autoplay
I am trying to display a SWF (from within my app) using something like: var swf:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader(); swf.source = absolutePathToSwf; panel.addChild(swf); Now this seems to work fine, except for the fact that the swf starts playing immediately.

I haven't been able to find any examples of this, which is frustrating, since I believe this should be an easy task. I want to display a canvas (or any other sprite) which simply places a gray overlay over the entire grid/list with some message in the middle. In java this would be as easy as using the component's glasspane, but I haven't been able to find anything similar. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I have an application which has a tabnavigator with a handful of VBoxes inside of it. Those boxes can have dynamic content (which will grow horizontally). The only problem is that I can't get the application to grow horizontally as well. My plan is to have the application grow, and then fire an event to JS with the new application size, and have the JS resize the containing div (or swfobject).

[flexcoders] how to override multiselect in a datagrid
Hi,
I want to allow multiselects on my datagrid, but only conditionally. i.e.
before the additional item is selected, I want to perform some logic and
determine if it should be selected.
I have tried adding: itemClick, mouseDown, & click listeners which looked like
the following:
private function clickListener(event:Event):void {
event.preventDefault();
_grid.selectedIndices.concat(new
Array(event.currentTarget.selectedIndex);
}
Obviously this doesn't work, but what I have noticed while debugging is that
the grid's selectedIndices is already updated to include the current item (and
exclude the existing item if, SHIFT or CONTROL was not depressed).
Am I not using the right listener? Is there no way to prevent the click, and
then programmatically add the selection?
Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: is it not possible to upload a file to a flash app (no server)?
yes it will, using the FileReference.load(), and then accessing FileReference.data. I got this working on FP10 & sdk 3.3. It took a while to get flexbuilder to play nice however. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Tracy Spratt" wrote: > > I have heard that FP 10 will allow access to the file contents. > > > > Tracy Spratt, > > Lariat Services, development services available > > _ > > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On > Behalf Of djepyon > Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2009 6:19 PM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: is it not possible to upload a file to a flash app > (no server)? > > > > If its a remote file this can be done by using Loader.loadBytes() and > parsing the ByteArray. > > You would need AIR to load the bytes of a local file though. > > --- In flexcod...@yahoogro <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ups.com, > "gmoniey22" wrote: > > > > No, I actually want to parse the file.

No, I actually want to parse the file.

[flexcoders] is it not possible to upload a file to a flash app (no server)?
I want the user to select a file and have my flash app parse it for information, and then display that info in the app. But it seems like all of the FileReference functions abstract the upload/download process to a server. Am I missing something? Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: is a flash app completely contains within its object/div tag?
hmm..so its seems that its possible with javascript...I was hoping to avoid this so that everything was flash based... As for my second question...is there no way to have the flash up use some kind of z-index and make itself look as if it was on top of the actual html page? Essentially, I want to have a flash app that looks the a small preview..and allows the user to expand it. At that point, something like a traditional lightbox would work perfectly, as all attention would be on it, and it would be front & center.
[flexcoders] is a flash app completely contains within its object/div tag?
2 questions here...both very similar 1. Can a flash app expand, and in turn, make its enclosing div expand. i.e. if the flash app is at the bottom of a page, and it expands, will it increase the entire size of the page? I haven't been able to get this to work in my tests, so I am guessing the answer is no. 2. Can a flash app pop out and expand? i.e something like a lightbox effect, where it will be centered in the screen, in an expanded form. This is similar to the question above, but I thought it was worth asking. Thanks.

No offense taken...in fact, I appreciate your help.
I will start playing around with it.
Thanks again.

[flexcoders] Re: Possible to add a textinput to a TabNavigator (next to the tabs)
Thanks for your reply...I tried do something similar. As a test case, I just tried to add a label after the tabs have been created. I tried the following: var l:Label = new Label(); l.text = "TEST"; myTabs.addChild(l); This compiled fine...but when I ran it, nothing showed up. Where would I add the spacer?

[flexcoders] Is there a better way to strikethrough an entire row in a grid?
I am looking for a way to strike through an entire row in a grid. Only some rows will have the strikethrough effect. I looked into using item renderers and such, but this seems like more work than it needs to be, since I already have several custom item renderers. Which means I need to add the strikethrough logic in those, as well as create a generic strikethrough item renderer for the other columns. Also, I couldn't 100% identify a strikethrough style. So I started thinking that maybe I should just subclass the DataGrid class and override the drawItem function to simply draw a red line over the middle of the item after it has been rendered by the super class. Is there an more obvious solution I am missing? Thanks

[flexcoders] Possible to add a textinput to a TabNavigator (next to the tabs)
Hi, I am rather new to flex, so I apologize in advance if the answer is obvious. I have a TabNavigator and I want to place a textinput box all the way to the right. This will be a small search box that will help filter the contents of the currently selected tab. Is this possible? Thanks.
