[flexcoders] DataVisualization Chart Axis Labels not showing up
Hi All, I've posted a question over at Stack Overflow on a problem that I'm having with my Axis labels not showing up on a chart. I think it has to do with my use of the framework RSL when it loads, but nonetheless, it's a big issue and I can't seem to figure it out. Also, I've tried getting it to work in the SDK 3.3, 3.4, and even 3.5 and the labels still don't show up. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2585393/problem-with-flex-datavisualization-charting-components-rendering-labels-on-build BTW, I think stackover.com is a superior method of developer interaction in a Q/A format and love to see more of the Adobe gurus that hang out here, over there. For example, it's really easy to post screen shots and such in the question. Thanks.

The labels definitely aren't rotated. And the fonts being used show up everywhere else in the application, including the same screens that contain the charts.

[flexcoders] Technique so that containers with rounded corners mask out child components
I have a lot of containers with rounded corners that host DataGrids, Listboxes, etc.. The problem is that the child containers draw on top of the ParentContainer's rounded corner. See this picture for an example: http://tweetphoto.com/12602585 It doesn't look good. Any clever workarounds. It needs to work for almost all types of children components. I've been playing with masks, but haven't gotten anything to work yet. Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: Stop ToolTips from Appearing on Certain Buttons.
Yeah, I already tried that. For some reason, it still shows. In looking at the Button.as code, in the updateDisplayList, I see some code that seems like it's always going to render a tooltip if a label is set on the Button. I guess I can always Monkey Patch the button, but it seems like there's something simpler to do. One of the strange uses of this particular button is that the label is set when the person mouses over it.

Any ideas on how to totally supress tooltips? Thanks,

[flexcoders] Trying to compile LZW compresses resource strings into aResource Rodule
Hello, I'm using the command-line flex compiler to compile LZW resource strings into a SWF that can be dynamically loaded into an application at run time. I have no problem generating the Module and and loading it into the application when I'm doing simple name value pairs. I wish to use more complex name value pairings where the value is a LZW compressed WSDL file... I'm having issues with the encoded string wrapping multiple lines in the resource file. I've tries appending the \ at the end of the line, and this seems to fix the problem of getting the resrouce SWF to actually compile. However, it's (or something is) corrupting the compressed LZW string so it doesn't decode properly. Anyone ever done anything like this? Any ideas? Thanks
[flexcoders] Re: Trying to compile LZW compresses resource strings into aResource Rodule
I've changed my strategy a bit on this and I'm using the [Embed] directive with application/octet-stream. It seems that there's some default compression going on when the MXMLC compiler embeds these text assets. Does anyone know what it is? I can't find much in the docs, though I probably missed it.

[flexcoders] Re: Button and custom FocusSkins not raising Click events
I figured out my problem. There was an accidental call to graphics.beginFill. The ALPHA was set to 0 (which meant I couldn't visually see anything). I have now separated my focusSkin out from the regular skin, and have made sure that I'm only drawing a thin border since the FOCUS skin is overlayed on top of the component. I will say, the documentation on all this is pretty sparse. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, taude1 tpreka...@... wrote: Hi All, I have a button with a custom skin and a custom focusSkin. when tabbing into the button and the focus skin is showing, it doesn't raise click events. I know that I'm supposed to have a HOLE in my focus skin. Not just transparent pixels and what not. However, I'm not really sure how to do this PROGRAMATICALY -- I've tried setting the Alpha to 0 and to even try all black (0x000) and all white (oxff), but still can't get it to work. My problems are similar to: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-15363. Again, this is a programatic skin that requires me drawing the border. Can this be done? Should be pretty trivial but I'm stuck. Thanks

[flexcoders] DataGrid ItemEditor help
Hi All, I've been working with DataGrid itemEditors with a custom checkbox column. It's been challenging, to say the least. I'm at the point where I'm getting ready to scrap the itemEditor infrastructure and just code itemRenderers that can display edit components. It might be easier. I'm hoping some of you will have random tidbits around the web that I can read, or suggested workarounds. 1st issue) When I check a checkbox on the row, I'm wishing for all the ItemEditors on that row to show in edit mode. 2) When user checks a checkbox, I want to set data values on the item editors to default values. 3) When rendering the screen and loading up items that were selected before (via checkbox), I want to set the item editors to contain the default bound data. 4) When unchecking a checkbox in the row, I wish to remove all set values. I'm using a variation of Alex H's CheckBoxDataGrid with CheckBoxItemRenderer for the checkbox portion of the row. I've judiciously used a lot of the itemEditor events, like itemEditBegining, etc... But I'm still having all sorts of state problems and annoying inconsistencies. Should I bail on itemEditors and just write a custom fancy itemRenderer that can display edit fields at my whim? Are there any good tutorials out there for doing fancy bindings with ItemEditors? (I've read through all the docs at the adobe site.) Thanks
