[flexcoders] Sorting columns in a Datagrid don't sort with itemRenderer...

[sailorsea21]

Hi everyone, I'm having a problem with sorting columns in a datagrid when using 
itemRenderer.

Without the itemRenderer, everything works fine but when I use an itemRenderer, 
the column with the itemRenderer doesn't sort, it simply rotates the rows of 
that column 

dgColumn.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(Smiles);

Here's my itemRenderer file Smiles.mxml:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Canvas xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; 
creationComplete=setSmileImage()

mx:Script
![CDATA[   

[Bindable]
private var smileImage:String;

private function setSmileImage():void
{   
if(data.amount  50)
{
smileImage= 'smile001.png';
}
else if(data.amount = 50)
{
smileImage= 'smile002.png';
}
}

]] 
/mx:Script

mx:Image id=image verticalCenter=0 horizontalCenter=0 
source={smileImage}/

[sailorsea21]

Hi everyone, is it possible to pass a variable when I call a class???

This is what I'm doing:

My class is 'BarColorRenderer' and I would like to also pass it a variable. Is 
it possible? 

This is my class:

}

Thanks everyone.

[flexcoders] verticalAxisRenderers - How can I set my font size of my AxisRenderer Label ???

[sailorsea21]

Hi everyone, I have a BarChart with the following AxisRenderer.
I am unable to change the fontsize of my label 
and my label does not display fully, it is shorten with '...'.

Thanks

barChart.verticalAxis= axisV;
var axisVRenderer:AxisRenderer   = new AxisRenderer();
axisVRenderer.placement  = 'left';
axisVRenderer.axis   = axisV;
axisVRenderer.labelRenderer  = new 
ClassFactory(InnerlabelRenderer);
barChart.verticalAxisRenderers   = [axisVRenderer];


My Class:
package

import mx.core.IDataRenderer;

public class InnerlabelRenderer extends Label implements IDataRenderer
{
private var _data:AxisLabel;

[flexcoders] VIEWSTACK question.

[sailorsea21]

Hi everyone, I have a question on viewstacks.

I have my viewstack created on MXML with the main canvas also created in MXML.

something like:
mx:Viewstack id='myViewstack' creationPolicy='all' 
initialize='getOtherCanvases()'
mx:Canvas id='mainCanvas'/
/mx:Viewstack

At initialize I call 'getOtherCanvases' function, which adds additional 
canvases to 'myViewstack' depending on the result I receive from my DB.

My question: When I switch viewstack Index, the content of the canvas wasn't 
previously created and all the children jitter in place the first time I load 
each index. Shouldn't the creationPolicy='all' create all the children of the 
viewstack? 

How can I achieve this?

If I create the viewstack and main canvas in actionscript, will it solve my 
problem?

Thanks everyone. :)

[flexcoders] How can I receive the smallest value within an Array?

[sailorsea21]

Hi everyone, if I have an array as

[flexcoders] I need to set a label...???

[sailorsea21]

Hi everyone, I need to set a label... 

The actual label is in a ArrayCollection.
I can access is like this:
parentApplication.MyLabelArray.getItemAt(0).label001
or
parentApplication.MyLabelArray.getItemAt(0).label002
or
parentApplication.MyLabelArray.getItemAt(0).label003
and so on...

Is it possible to access the labels dynamically like this:

var labelNames:Array = new Array(label001, label002, label003);

for each(var getName:String in labelNames)
{
var radio00:RadioButton = new RadioButton();
radio00.label = this[parentApplication.MyLabelArray.getItemAt(0).getName;
}

I can't get this to work... Is there a better way to approach this?

Thanks everyone!

[flexcoders] How can I add a SeriesInterpolate effect with actionscript to my PieChart?

[flexcoders] horizontalAxisRenderer VS horizontalAxisRenderers?

[sailorsea21]

Hi everyone, 
I have the following script:
 
var columnChart:ColumnChart = new ColumnChart();
var axisVRenderer:AxisRenderer  = new AxisRenderer();
axisVRenderer.placement = left;
axisVRenderer.axis  = int_20;
axisVRenderer.labelFunction = axisPercent;
***columnChart.verticalAxisRenderers   = axisVRenderer; 

I don't understand why it's generating the following error:

***
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type mx.charts:AxisRenderer to an 
unrelated type Array.

If I replace the verticalAxisRenderers by verticalAxisRenderer I receive the 
following warning:

3606: 'verticalAxisRenderer' has been deprecated.  Please use 
'CartesianChart.verticalAxisRenderers'.

Should I use verticalAxisRenderer and ignore the warning?

Thanks.

[flexcoders] SeriesInterpolate in actionscript ColumnChart?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to set a SeriesInterpolate for my ColumnSeries, this is 
my code:

var columnChart:ColumnChart = new ColumnChart();
(...)
var action:SeriesInterpolate= new SeriesInterpolate();
action.duration = 1000;
action.minimumElementDuration   = 200;
action.elementOffset= 0;

col.yField  = data;
col.xField  = title;  
col.setStyle(showDataEffect,action);
myColumnSeries.push(col);   
columnChart.series  = myColumnSeries;

If I write it out in MXML, I can get it to work, but not in actionscript. What 
am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

[flexcoders] HOW can I convert a string into a DataGridColumn ?

[sailorsea21]

Hi everyone, I have the folowing script that adds the % symbol:

public function dataGridPercent(item:Object, column:DataGridColumn):String
{
var str:String = item[column.dataField];
return str + %;
}

This works fine but it breaks my export to excel script. I'm thinking because 
the value is now a string. How can I keep the value as a DataGridColumn but add 
the % symbol ?

The following doesn't work:

public function dataGridPercent(item:Object, 
column:DataGridColumn):DataGridColumn 
{
var str:String = item[column.dataField];
return DataGridColumn(str + );
}

Thanks.

[flexcoders] DYNAMIC LINKBUTTONS styleNames.

I am able to switch the styleName of a linkButton when I click on it 
as follows:

[Bindable]
private var linkButtonOff:String = 'linkButtonOff';

mx:LinkButton id=test001 label=001 styleName={linkButton}

buttonMode=true click=setType(event)/

private function setType(result:Event):void
{
result.currentTarget.styleName = linkButtonOff;
}

How can I automatically reset all the other linkButtons styleNames 
to {linkButton} when a linkButton is clicked?

Thank you.

[flexcoders] PIE - Animated pie chart still displays old data when updated???

[sailorsea21]

Hi everyone, I created an animated pie chart that is divided into 3 
segments.

mx:PieChart dataProvider= {test}

field=field 
mx:showDataEffect
mx:SeriesInterpola te/
/mx:showDataEffect 
/mx:PieSeries 
/mx:series 
/mx:PieChart 

The pie animates perfectly but when new data comes in, if the new 
data has only data for 2 out of the 3 segments, it will animate 
correctly and display the sections correctly but the old data from 
the 3rd section remains as if it's cached somehow. If I minimize IE 
and then restore it, the old data disappears as if the page 
refreshes... Is there a way to automatically refresh the page still 
animating the pie charts. If I remove the animation I do not have 
this problem.

Thanks.

 Yes there is.
 You can create a mxml component and use that.
 The only difference is that this mxml will not have 
mx:Application tag in it.
 Instead it will start with a container like panel or vbox etc.
 To include this in your application all you have to do is include 
its namespace and use the name of the mxml file in which you have 
created your component.
 If you are using flex builder it will take care of name space 
declaration.

Hi everyone, I'm actually talking about the labels for my 
ColumnSeries.
I got something visually working but it doesn't always display the 
correct data. The data in my Column DataTips are precise but the data 
from my ColumnSeries Labels aren't always precise

This is what I did:

On my mx:ColumnChart... I added showLabelVertically=true.
On my mx:ColumnSeries... I added labelPosition=outside 
labelField=mylabelfield.
And on my CSS file I added:

@font-face {
src: local(Arial);
font-family: EmbeddedArial;
}
ColumnSeries {
font-family: EmbeddedArial;
} 

My ColumnSeries Labels are now Vertical but the data isn't always the 
right data???

I really need to solve this... Thanks :)

[flexcoders] Re: Why aren't my .as files included when I build my project?

[sailorsea21]

Hi Tracy, I innitially had all my actionscript embedded in my mxml. 
I decided to clean up the file and put the actionscript in an .as 
file in a folder called as.

After I build my application, the as folder and the .as files are 
not copied in my bin-debug folder therefore when I run the app, it 
doesn't work.

I call my file with the following command: 
mx:Script source=as/myfile.as/

My myfile.as has the following structure:

// ActionScript file

import mx.controls.Alert;

private function login_FaultHandler():void
{   
mx.controls.Alert.show(Could not connect...);
}
(...)

Thank you.

 And you understand that the Script source= syntax is an *include*
 functionality?  It essentially physically copies the code verbatim 
into
 the file that declares it, before compilation.  It is identical to
 putting the code in a script block.  It is not for classes.

[flexcoders] Re: Why aren't my .as files included when I build my project?

[sailorsea21]

Thanks Tracy, the problem was not my .as file... 
For some reason, ie was not showing me any errors, the app was simply 
not working so I figured that it was not loading my .as files... 
I tested in firefox and received an error. I was able to fix the bug.

Thanks for the help! :)

[flexcoders] Memory Leaks... Cumulative Memory and Memory.

[sailorsea21]

Hi everyone, I think I'm having some issues with memory leaks.
The memory of my Cumulative Memory and of my Memory keep increasing.
When I unload modules, the memory doesn't drop and if I reload the 
modules, the memory keeps climbing...

When I use the import command (ie:import mx.controls.Alert;), do I need 
to unload the mx.controls.Alert when I unload my module?
If so, how do I do this?

If not, why does my memory keep climbing  when I unload a module and 
reload it? Shouldn't it drop and then climb back?

Thanks.

[flexcoders] How can I get my CircleItemRenderer to work with SeriesInterpolate?

[sailorsea21]

Hi everyone, how can I get my CircleItemRenderer to work with my 
interpolate on a LineSeries??? If I remove the Interpolate, the 
ItemRenderer works fine but when I add the Interpolate, the 
itemRenderer disapears??? 

Do I need to import anything to make this work??? (import mx.charts...)

This is my script.

mx:SeriesInterpolate id=seriesInterpolate duration=1500/  
(...)
mx:series
mx:ColumnSeries showDataEffect={seriesInterpolate} yField=TOTAL 
displayName=TOTAL/   
mx:LineSeries showDataEffect={seriesInterpolate} 
temRenderer=mx.charts.renderers.CircleItemRenderer yField=TOTAL2 
displayName=TOTAL (2)/   
/mx:series

Thanks.

[flexcoders] If I have 2 panels, each with their own print buttons, can I have one function?

Hello everyone,
if I have 2 panels, each with their print buttons, can I simply have 
1 function for both buttons? This way, if I have 15 panels, I can 
only use one function for all the print buttons instead of 15...

This is my simplified script:

private function print(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var Printbutton:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
var printConfirmed:Boolean = Printbutton.start();   
if(printConfirmed)
{
Printbutton.addObject(event.Target.???);
Printbutton.send();
}   
}

mx:Panel id=PanelTest001
/mx:Panel
mx:Button label=print click=print(event)/

mx:Panel id=PanelTest002/
/mx:Panel
mx:Button label=print click=print(event)/

Thank you very much.

[flexcoders] Why does seriesInterpolate disables my CircleItemRenderer in my LineSeries...?

[sailorsea21]

Hi everyone, I have a ColumnChart with 2 ColumnSeries and 2 
LineSeries.
My LineSeries look like this:

mx:LineSeries itemRenderer=mx.charts.renderers.CircleItemRenderer 
yField=test/

Everything works ok until I add an Interpolate effect to my 4 series. 
My LineSeries now look like this:

mx:SeriesInterpolate id=seriesInterpolate duration=2000/

mx:LineSeries showDataEffect={seriesInterpolate} 
itemRenderer=mx.charts.renderers.CircleItemRenderer yField=test/

Now, the interpolate effect works great on all my series BUT my 
ItemRenderers have disapeared 

Anyone has any idea why this happens???

Thanks.

[flexcoders] sailorsea21 - How can I replace certain values in my array with my HTTPService?

[sailorsea21]

Hi everyone, I have 2 HTTPServices that populate my array:

[Bindable]
public var ArrayStats:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection;

[Bindable]
private var XMLStats:XML;

private function get(event:ResultEvent):void
{
XMLStats = event.result as XML;

}

mx:HTTPService url=test001.php useProxy=false method=POST

mx:HTTPService url=test002.php useProxy=false method=POST 
id=test002 resultFormat=e4x result=get(event)/

My array is displayed as a Column Chart.

How can I simply resend my first HTTPService and update the info that 
was previously set in the array. 

I tried an option to remove all the data in my array and resend both 
my HTTPService. It works but I would rather just update the first 
HTTPService...

I do not want my full graph to be refreshed. I would like to have the 
columns from the 1st HTTPService updated.

mx:HTTPService url=value.php method=POST id=rate 
useProxy=false result=getRate(event)/


I now have a timer:
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(3);


Can I replace the hard-coded value of 3 with the value that is 
stored in my database?

This is my script:

[Bindable]
public var valuesMilliseconds:int;  

private function getRate(event:ResultEvent):void
{
valuesMilliseconds = event.result.database.row.Refresh_Rate;
}   


I tried the following but it didn't work:

var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(valuesMilliseconds);

Thanks.

-David

[flexcoders] Re: sailorsea21 - Is it possible to use a value from a variable as a Timer value?

[sailorsea21]

Got it working thanks! 

My problem was that the timer was being created before the getRate 
function.

Thanks again :)

 You can definitely use a variable there. You might want to step
 through the code to make sure that the variable is getting populated
 with the correct value and that the timer is being created after the
 getRate function completes.

 Hi,
 
 Since you are using
 private var HTTPService_ url:String = company.php? ForceIEReload 
ms=
 + 
 new Date().getTime( );
 
 at the start of your code, it is being initialized only once. This 
means that your string is a constant throughout the program.
 That is why IE caches the data.
 
 Instead try the following
 
 
 
 private var HTTPService_ url:String = company.php? ForceIEReload ;
 
 mx:HTTPService url={HTTPService_ url}
 method=POST id=data 
 resultFormat= e4x result=xmlResultHandler(event) ; 
 fault=xmlFaultHand ler(event) ;
mx:request
 rndParam{Math.round(Math.random()*1000)}/rndParam
 /mx:request
 /mx:HTTPService
 
 
 The text in bold is the additional code you need to add.
 Hope this helps

Hey everyone, 
I populate my chart from a MySQL database. 
My php script retrieves the data and then converts it into XML for my 
flex chart.
I needed to have the chart refreshed every 30sec without refreshing 
the entire page. 

I got a script working perfectly for Firefox. 
Every 30sec the chart updates but in Internet explorer, it will only 
update every hour or so... 

Is there a fix or is this a know IE bug?

This is the script:

mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;

[Bindable]
private var myxmldata:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection;

[Bindable]
private var xmlFeed:XML;

private function xmlResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
myxmldata.removeAll() ;
xmlFeed = event.result as XML;
for each(var ourxml:XML in xmlFeed.elements() ) myxmldata.addItem
(ourxml);
}   

private function xmlFaultHandler(event:FaultEvent):void
{   
var faultMessage:String = Could not connect with XML file;
Alert.show(faultMessage, Error opening file); 
}   

public function initTimer():void {
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(3);   
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateData); 
myTimer.start(); 
}   

private function updateData(event:TimerEvent):void {
data.send();
}   

]] 
/mx:Script

Thanks everyone!

[flexcoders] Re: sailorsea21 - Does anyone know why this code works with Firefox but not with IE?

[sailorsea21]

I'm using POST and a unique string for the url. See below.

[Bindable]
private var HTTPService_url:String = company.php?ForceIEReloadms= + 
new Date().getTime();

mx:HTTPService url={HTTPService_url} method=POST id=data 
resultFormat=e4x result=xmlResultHandler(event); 
fault=xmlFaultHandler(event);/

What I noticed is that in Firefox, I see the message 
Transferring data from localhost... appearing at the bottom left in 
the status bar... I can tell that every 30sec it updates whereas in IE, 
it always displays Done???

I think IE never runs the updateData function...?

private function updateData(event:TimerEvent):void {
data.send();
}

Or maybe it kept the data.send values in cache... 

Any ideas?

Thanks everyone.

[sailorsea21]

Hi Tracy, 

These are the errors I received in the debug:

 _aChildren[iIndexClicked] = errors during evaluation
 No such variable: undefined

but the _aChildren variable is set as follows:
 private var _aChildren:Array=[];
and the iIndexClicked variable is set as follows:
 var iIndexClicked:int = parseInt(event.target.id);

The iIndexClicked always returns an id=0
even if I loaded several modules...

 flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild [no source]


Here's the full function:
 
 private var _aChildren:Array=[];

 private function unloadclick(event:Event):void 
 {
 var iIndexClicked:int = parseInt(event.target.id); 
 modulestile.removeChild(_aChildren[iIndexClicked]);
 modulestile.removeChild(DisplayObject(event.target));
 }

I'm trying to re-introduce the VBox container to wrap the module and 
the button, this way each tile will display a module and a button 
together instead of seperating the module and button in seperate 
tiles but it always gives me the child error... 

Also, is it possible to have the unload button along with other

The VBox will contain my ModuleLoader and the Hbox.
The Hbox will contain my unload button along with other buttons???

This is what I am now trying to accomplish...

I would like to have a VBOX container to wrap the module and the 
button. This way both items can be displayed in one tile instead of 
having them split into different tiles... 

Then I would like to have a HBOX container to wrap the unload button

The VBOX has the ModuleLoader as a child and the HBOX.
The HBOX has the unload button and other buttons as childs.
Is this possible?

Hi Tracy, 

I don't think I'm successfully storing the reference of the children 
into the array. 

This is what I had tried:

private var moduleloader:ModuleLoader;
private var button:Button;
private var _aChildren:Array;

private function click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
tiletest.removeChild(_aChildren[one]);
tiletest.removeChild(button);
}   

public function AddModule():void {
moduleloader = new ModuleLoader();
moduleloader.url = test.swf;
button = new Button();
button.label = unload;
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, click);
tiletest.addChild(button);
_aChildren = new Array();
_aChildren[one] = tiletest.addChild(moduleloader);
}   

But I keep getting the ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied 
DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. error.

 That is correct, you are not storing references correctly.  First I 
will
 explain what is wrong with your code, but then, after seeing what 
you
 are trying to do, will suggest a slightly different approach.
 
  
 
 First, you are mixing Array, which is accessed by index 
and associative
 array, which is an Object and accessed by property name:
 
 private var _oChildren:Object = new Object();
 
  
 
 Second, you are creating a new instance of that each time you click
 addModule.  This overwrites what was in there before.  Don't do 
that.
 
  
 
 Third, you need a unique name for each reference you add to the
 associative array.  Don't use one every time, that just puts a new
 reference in the one property.  You can use anything you want for 
this
 property name.  Pick something that is meaningful.  How will you
 identify which child you want to remove?  Is it purely numerical? 
If so
 you can use 1, 2, etc.  Usually there is some string that is 
logical
 for this, like an id, or an image's base file name.  whatever, 
remember
 it must uniquely identify the instance you want to later remove.
 
  
 
 Now, after looking at your code a bit more, and seeing that you do 
not
 have a clear string or id you can use for identifying the 
references, I
 am gong to suggest a different approach.
 
 private var _aChildren:Array= [];   //declare an 
initialize
 an Array
 
  
 
 ...
 
 public function addModule():void {
   var iNewIndex:int = _aChildren.length;  //this will be the next
 available index in the array
 
   button = new Button();
 
   button.id = String(iNewIndex);   //NOTE: you can NOT use this id 
as a
 reference, but you CAN access its value
   button.label = unload;
   button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickUnload);
   tiletest.addChild(button);  
 
   moduleloader = new ModuleLoader();
   moduleloader.url = test.swf;
   _aChildren[iNewIndex] = tiletest.addChild(moduleloader);  //NOTE: 
the
 associated button id property value matches the index of the array 
ref
 }// addModule
 
  
 
 private function onClickUnload (event:Event):void {
   var iIndexClicked:int = parseInt(event.target.id);  
 
   tiletest.removeChild(_aChildren[iIndexClicked]);
   tiletest.removeChild(event.target);

 Try this.  it is untested.

  That is correct, you are not storing references correctly.  
First I
  will
  explain what is wrong with your code, but then, after seeing what
  you
  are trying to do, will suggest a slightly different approach.
 
 
 
  First, you are mixing Array, which is accessed by index
  and associative
  array, which is an Object and accessed by property name:
 
  private var _oChildren:Object = new Object();
 
 
 
  Second, you are creating a new instance of that each time you 
click
  addModule.  This overwrites what was in there before.  Don't do
  that.
 
 
 
  Third, you need a unique name for each reference you add to the
  associative array.  Don't use one every time, that just puts a 
new
  reference in the one property.  You can use anything you want 
for
  this
  property name.  Pick something that is meaningful.  How will you
  identify which child you want to remove?  Is it purely numerical?
  If so
  you can use 1, 2, etc.  Usually there is some string that is
  logical
  for this, like an id, or an image's base file name.  whatever,
  remember
  it must uniquely identify the instance you want to later remove.
 
 
 
  Now, after looking at your code a bit more, and seeing that you 
do
  not
  have a clear string or id you can use for identifying the
  references, I
  am gong to suggest a different approach.
 
  private var _aChildren:Array= [];   //declare an
  initialize
  an Array
 
 
 
  ...
 
  public function addModule():void {
var iNewIndex:int = _aChildren.length;  //this will be the next
  available index in the array
 
button = new Button();
 
button.id = String(iNewIndex);   //NOTE: you can NOT use this 
id
  as a
  reference, but you CAN access its value
button.label = unload;
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickUnload);
tiletest.addChild(button);
 
moduleloader = new ModuleLoader();
moduleloader.url = test.swf;
_aChildren[iNewIndex] = tiletest.addChild
(moduleloader);  //NOTE:
  the
  associated button id property value matches the index of the 
array
  ref
  }// addModule
 
 
 
  private function onClickUnload (event:Event):void {
var iIndexClicked:int = parseInt(event.target.id);
 
tiletest.removeChild(_aChildren[iIndexClicked]);
tiletest.removeChild(event.target);
  }// onClickUnload
 
 
 
  Try this.  it is untested.

[flexcoders] sailorsea21 - How can I add the progress loading box when I load a module?

Hi everyone, how can I add the progress loading box when I load a 
module? Is it an automated thing with flex or must I code it?

Thanks.

[flexcoders] sailorsea21 - RemoveChild question.

[sailorsea21]

Hi, 

I have a Tile in my application:

mx:Tile width=100% height=100% id=tiletest/ 

I also have a linkbutton that loads moduleloaders in mx:Tile:

mx:LinkButton label=Load click=loadmodule() buttonMode=true/

mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.modules.ModuleLoader; 
public function loadmodule():void {
var moduleloader:ModuleLoader = new ModuleLoader();
tiletest.addChild(moduleloader);
moduleloader.url = test.swf;
}
]] 
/mx:Script

I can load the module several times but my problem is: 
If I load several modules, how can I remove a specific one, let's say 
the third one that was loaded?

Do I need to add a specific remove button within the module 
application? If so, what script can I use???

Thank you.

[flexcoders] Re: sailorsea21 - RemoveChild question.

[sailorsea21]

Hi Tracy, thank you for your quick response.
I'm a little stuck on this one... I can't get it to work...

I'm now able to load a module and unload it. But if I load several 
modules, I'm only able to unload the latest one. 

When I try unloading the other loaded modules I receive the follow 
error:

This is my code:

import mx.modules.ModuleLoader;
import mx.controls.Button; 

private var moduleloader:ModuleLoader;
private var button:Button;

public function loadmodule():void {
moduleloader = new ModuleLoader();

moduleloader.url = test.swf;
button = new Button();
button.label = unload;
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, click);
tiletest.addChild(button);
} 

private function click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
tiletest.removeChild(moduleloader);
tiletest.removeChild(button);
}

Hi, I had a question, 
When I create an application from a Database (Flex / Data / Create

Can I modify the code to convert it into a module?

didn't work... 

Thanks.
