[flexcoders] Combobox / DropDownList

[hawkcode2]

Hi,

I have a mobile app and I'm using the mx combobox. Adobe doesn't recomend this 
for mobile apps. I tried the spark combo and dropdown, both of which do not 
work well in a mobile app. Looked horible and didn't respond to touches.

But Abobe also says Adobe discourages using ComboBox when targeting profiles: 
mobileDevice.

The new spinner is out, it takes up way to much real-estate.

So whats a guy to do?  :)

Thanks

[flexcoders] Colors in FB 4.6 - Hi lights all Identifiers

[hawkcode2]

Hi,

I can not find where the setting is to chang the color for when you put the 
curser on an identifier, it hilights every where it is used.

I love the feature, just want to change the color as its to close to other 
colors.

Thanks

[flexcoders] Orange Question Mark - FB 4.6 Can't see mx:ComboBox that is defined in XML

[hawkcode2]

Hi,
 
I am pulling my hair out.
 
I have FB 4.6 and am doing a mobile project. Only using FB not using anything 
else.
 
 
 
I have Several Comboboxes Defined in XML and am accessing 2 different ones here:
 
private function test():void
{
   
dgType.x=10;
ddlUnits.x=10;  
}
 
Next to the ddlUnits is an Orange Circle with Question Mark. (Access to 
undefined property ddlUnits)
 
Yet as you see below it is defined in the xml:
 
 
mx:ComboBox id=dgType x=12 y=203 width=255 height=41 
change=//mpitchspec()
 click=dgResults.dataProvider = null selectedIndex=0
 x.landscapePhone=530 y.landscapePhone=10 
width.landscapePhone=153
 height.landscapePhone=65
 x.portraitPhone=260 y.portraitPhone=92 
width.portraitPhone=210
 height.portraitPhone=65
  s:ArrayList
fx:Object label=Type data=1/
fx:Object label= data=2/
  /s:ArrayList
   
/mx:ComboBox
  
 

mx:ComboBox id=ddlUnits x=10 y=32 width=255 height=54 
change=//changepitch()
 fontFamily=Georgia fontSize=30 selectedIndex=1
 x.landscapePhone=204 y.landscapePhone=10 
width.landscapePhone=153
 height.landscapePhone=65
 x.portraitPhone=10 y.portraitPhone=92 
width.portraitPhone=210
 height.portraitPhone=65
  s:ArrayList
fx:Object label=SI/Metric data=1/
fx:Object label=Imperial data=2/
  /s:ArrayList
/mx:ComboBox

I have read every post i could find on this and nothing seems to apply. I can 
see  all the components in design view just fine.
 
These kind of things shake my confidence in Adobe.
 
Anybody have a clue?
 
Thanks

[flexcoders] Why doesn't this work?

[hawkcode2]

Hi,

I was curious about what the actual DPI was on the phones I'm testing my app 
on. So I created a label and in the creationComplete I have 1 line:

dpi.text = String(Capabilities.screenDPI);

Nothing is entered into the label? How can I get this info.

Thanks

[flexcoders] Load SpinnerList from SQL Select

[hawkcode2]

Hi,

I have taken over an app to convert to a mobile app and am new to Flex/Air.

Using FB4.6 

Here is the code:

var sqlcon:SQLConnection =new SQLConnection();
var dbfile:File= File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(data/aspe);
var ss:SQLStatement=new SQLStatement();
sqlcon.open(dbfile);
ss.sqlConnection=sqlcon;
ss.text=select distinct material as material from manning;
ss.execute();


var dgResultsults:Array=ss.getResult().data;
dgMaterial.dataProvider=dgResultsults;
sqlcon.close();


I get the following error:
Description ResourcePathLocationType
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type 
mx.collections:IList. 

I can not find an example or a way to do this.

They were using the mx.combobox, but figured the spinner is more appropriate 
for a mobile app plus I think it's lighter and was designed for mobile.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Rich
