Hi Tac,

First setup your library project. Then go back to your original project and
go into Properties > Flex Build Path and click Add Project. A dialog will
display available library projects for you to choose. Select your new
library and click OK. The workspace will rebuild if it doesn't click Project
> Clean. From now on your original project will be able to access classes in
your library project. Note you may need to open the library project when
working in your main project.

[flexcoders] Newbie Question: Library Path for Using a 3rd-party utility

[tacman1123]

I'm new to Flex, I've been reading the Adobe Training from the Source book, but 
am stuck on a simple setup question.

I want to integrate SQLite, and figured I'd use probinson's sqlite utilities 
(https://github.com/probertson/air-sqlite) to manage the connections.

My question is where do I download this set of utilities so that I can 
incorporate them into other projects?  I'm modifying the test application 
FlexGrocer to store the inventory locally rather than via the web, but I don't 
want to copy the files into the FlexGrocer/src directory, but probably 
somewhere else that can be more easily used by other projects.  

I suspect there's a path I need to set somewhere for where to look for the 
libraries, and then I can just use 

import com.probertson.data.QueuedStatement;
import com.probertson.data.SQLRunner;

In the Project Properties, there's an option for adding a source path -- should 
I use that? Or import the swc file that's available from git?  If I do this, 
how can I then apply these settings to my project, is that something I need to 
do manually each time I set up a new project?

Thanks, sorry for such basic questions!

[flexcoders] newbie q: transition from flash to flex (long-ish)

[ulrich]

Hi - 

I have a question how to approach a problem the flex way:

I have a quiz, I present a question with 4 answers in a panel.

In flash I would:

- create a custom component (logic and visual): new Component().

- pass a VO to init display and logic of component
- add component to display list.
- component knows when a selection was made: dispatches event
- data model keeps track of results on main
- custom component gets destroyed.

- new q gets presented: step 1.


I know I could do it exactly like this in flex, but what would be Best 
Practices to do this in Flex?

Thank you for your help!

Set visible="false"?  Might also need to set includeInLayout="false".  Or
remove the component from the display list (removeChild()) or from the
dataProvider, depending on the details of your implementation.

Re: [flexcoders] newbie question : putting a semicolon in a mxml property

[Sam Lai]

Not if there is just a single line of script within the quotation
marks. If you wanted to do something like this though,



Then you do need the semi-colons. Most people just have the semi-colon
there out of habit from when they write AS in .as files or within the
 tags (they are needed in those cases).

I have been trying to wrap my head around flex/actionscript for several weeks 
now...I'm a little slow.  I'm using Coldfusion as an application server with 
Flash Remoting.

So far, I've been able to get info from the database to a datagrid and after 
pulling several hundred hairs out of my head, figured out how to get a new 
record into the database from flex...with one small caveat...in the code below, 
I cannot un-comment the last line (//dataEstimateFixedItem.PricePerUnit = 
PricePerUnit.text;)as it causes an error...trying to put text into a numeric 
field (the value is a number)...Do I have to cast it as a number or something?

private function addEditItemInsertHandler():void
{
var dataEstimateFixedItem:EstimatesFixedItems = new 
EstimatesFixedItems();



dataEstimateFixedItem.ConstructionPhase = 
ConstructionPh.selectedItem.ConstructionPhaseId;
dataEstimateFixedItem.JobEstimateType = 
JobEstimateType.selectedItem.JobTypeId;
dataEstimateFixedItem.ItemType = 
ItemType.selectedItem.ItemTypeId;
dataEstimateFixedItem.DefaultUnitType = 
DefaultUnitType.selectedItem.DefaultUnitTypeId;
dataEstimateFixedItem.ItemName = ItemName.text;
dataEstimateFixedItem.ItemDescription= 
ItemDescription.text;

//dataEstimateFixedItem.PricePerUnit = PricePerUnit.text;


EstimatesFixedItemsGateway.save(dataEstimateFixedItem);
AddForm.height = 5;


}

uh...the code looks a little butt ugly...is there a better way to attach code?

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie Question - databinding an arrayCollection to a List Control

[Tracy Spratt]

When you set a property of a dataProvider item directly, like:

absentee.selectedItem.status = "absent";

the events to update the UI are not dispatched.

 

You can either use the collection API, like setItemAt(), or call
itemUpdated().

absentee.selectedItem.status = "absent";

absentee..dataProvider.updateItem(absentee.selectedItem);

Subject: [flexcoders] Newbie Question - databinding an arrayCollection to a
List Control

 






Hello,

I've been reading a lot of information on databinding and I'm still a little
confused on how to execute it and when is it necessary.

I have a simple list control of names that I create by adding to an array
collection that I use as the List's dataprovider. when I add a name to the
array the list updates automatically as I would suspect

I also have associated with the names is a status attribute (absent or
present) that I use to determine which icon to display next to the name
using IconFunction property of the List control. I have a contextual menu
bound to the list control that allows the user to right click on a name to
change the status and thus the icon.

This is where I have the problem and can't figure out what to do. The
contextual menu works in that the status will change in the arraycollection
(i check and see that it does) however I can't get the iconFunction to
reevaluate the new value to display the proper icon.

I've read in many postings or similar examples on line that I have to create
an event listener and an event for the collection change event. This is
where I am a little fuzzy in the execution - assuming this is teh correct
solution. I've also peripherally read about setter and getter functions but
I don't even know where to begin with this aspect.

I would appreciate any help with this. here is what I have in terms of code:

for my List Control:



for my arrayCollection:

[Bindable]
public var absentItems:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();

I add to the arrayCollection:

private function addAbsentee():void {
var tmp:Object = new Object();
tmp = ({name:ac.selectedItem.name, status:"absent"});
absentItems.addItem(tmp);
}

my iconFunction is just a switch statement that changes icons based on the
text value of status (either absent or present)

private function myIconFunction(item:Object):Class {
var value:String = item.status.toString();
switch(value) {
case "absent":
return Aicon;
break;
case "vacation":
return Vicon;
break;
case "late":
return Licon;
break; 
}
return null;
}

the contextual menu functions just changes the status for example:

private function makeAbsent(evt:ContextMenuEvent):void {
absentee.selectedItem.status = "absent";
}

1. I don't understand why the list updates when I update the arraycollection
with new items but not when I change a specific property of an array.

2. If I add and event do I add it to the arraycollection and the listener to
the List control, or is it vice-versa. Also what is the function/method that
I add to make the list control update the draw on the icon.

3. Is there a better way to do this, ie., use an xml format instead of a an
arraycollection? Is there an article with examples that is really clear
about explaining all this. I am confused as to some things I've read that
says xmlcollections and arraycollections are not good choices for
databinding.

Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie question: Custom Components and Custom Events

[Tracy Spratt]

This metadata makes it available in mxml:

[Event(name="userSubmit", type="events.UserEvents")]

 

But the syntax UserEvents.USER_SUBMIT requires a contant in that class:

public class UserEvents extends Event

{

  public static const USER_SUBMIT:String = "userSubmit";

 

Using a constant like that just ensures you won't misspell "userSubmit".

Yes, as Sam says.

 

Also, you could look in the UserEvents code to see what the value of that
constant is and use that string.

Looks like the USER_SUBMIT variable or constant in your UserEvents
class is not static, but you're accessing it in a static way.

They should be static, so add they keyword static before the var
keyword when you declare USER_SUBMIT and it should all work.

Hey All,

 

I'm playing around with a super simple demo Simeon Bateman posted on his

I'm trying to take this custom component and instead of displaying it in the

 I can get it to do that just fine, but I cannot get the custom event
registered with the addEventListener. I get the following error message:

Any thoughts? It works properly when I use it as is in MXML form, but not
when I try to create the object using AS.

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie SOA question (maintaining login state)

[Tracy Spratt]

No more "normal" way with Flex than with html. Worse, really.  There are
just too many communication options, too many web server options and too
many degrees of secure.  Then the Flash Player weighs in with its own
restrictions on things like WebService headers and it just gets worse.

I'd be interested in hearing more about this. Isn't there a 'normal' way to
do this with flex? Maintaining login state would seem to be a basic

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie SOA question

[Tracy Spratt]

I have a lot to learn about security, and had difficulty wading through all
of the levels and options, so I devised my own programmatic solution.

 

When a user logs in from the Flex app (md5 hash on the password), I create a
sessionId, store it in a hashtable in the .net app, and pass it back to the
Flex app.  The Flex app sends this token with each call.  The server checks
the passed in session id and compares the timestamp to the current time.  If
it is within the timeout period specified, it updates the timestamp and
authorizes the call.  If authorization fails, the user must log in again.

 

I am certainly open to a better approach.

[flexcoders] Newbie in FLEX, need help on a question

[krishneelu]

Hi,

I am not an intermmediate or advanced Flex coder, but just trying to use the 
Flex Builder latest trial version to create some mockups for an application I 
intend to hire resources to develop on. 

My question for flex is:
After I run the application in flex builder, and it displays it on IE browser 
for me, the application frame/mockup screen is sized half the IE browser size 
and is centered ( on IE). How can I change it to display fully utilizing my IE 
browser real estate?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I do love flex, and excited to learn more!

Cheers

Hi,

Yes you need Streaming server like FMS or Red 5 to use NetStream.connect()

Netconnection Creates a bidirectional connection between a Flash Player or

[flexcoders] Newbie : Video Capture and Streaming Questions

[toejamnyc]

Good Day.

I hope you'll forgive my very basic questions. I've googled, read FAQ's, and 
built a few tutorials, and have a very basic app that displays video. But I 
still have a very basic question.

Must I have Flash Media Server in order to capture and save video from a webcam 
to a server? Is there *any* way I can build a small development, recording app 
on my existing http://domain?

I am a PHP / MySQL developer, so this is all very new to me. Like I said, I can 
display video, but I'm having a hard time figuring out NetStream.connect() -- 
unless it's indeed true I need FMS.

Thank you in advance for your time and any pointers.

re: [flexcoders] Newbie Help

1.) Flex is just an SWF file. You can set the application to any size and embed 
it as a SWF.
3.) Flex has a really good printing solution allowing you to add elements to a 
print job and control the order of printing. 

I believe that AlivePDF can convert and export Flex information as a PDF 
document.

[flexcoders] Newbie question: Completion Events or proxy binding for RemoteObject calls

[john.casey64]

I'm working on an application where I build a tree (in actionscript
buildtree()) where I add new leafs from data that is retieve from a
remote call.

Since the buildtree() function deals with the view - I have this coded
in the view mxml. The tree is bound to a XMLListCollection which is
updated by the buildtree() function after a remote value object is updated

The remote RetrieveDataCommand successfully retrieves the data into a
business value object.

What is the correct Cairgorm method for triggering the builtree()
function after the RetrieveDataCommand is complete?

I don't want to pollute my Command logic with any specific calls to
buildtree()

Should I be adding RemoteCommandComplete events to all of my
RemoteCommands? and then set the view logic to listen for them?

I tried to set a Collection.COLLECTION_CHANGE listener on the Business
Value object from my View logic. But it seems to fire before the
ArrayCollection is complete.

I also tried the BindUtils function to bind my buildtree() function to
my value object,  but bindutils only seems to work with MX visual
objects, not actionscript value objects.

Any experts out there? I'm sure there must be a simple solution for this. 

[flexcoders] Newbie HELP

Ok.  I have been working through a Friends of Ed book called
Foundation Flex for Designers.  In chapter 8, the idea is to build a
external xml file controlled photo gallery.  Screen will be split
horizontally with one side being thumbnails of the larger pictures
stored externally to the application.  The other side (right side) is
supposed to display the targeted picture in full dimensions. I have
not got to the right side yet.  I am to the point where thumb nails
should be showing up in the thumbnail pane.  But I keep getting an
error upon runtime out of flex.  Can any one help???  I have put a zip
file in the files area of this group that contains a folder for the
picture assets and xml file plus all the flex files.  Can someone tell
me what I did wrong??

The next step will be to create a basic css file.  But my thumb nails
should still be showing up in the pane (or is it "pain").

[flexcoders] Newbie binding question

[Michael Prescott]

I'm having some troubles with data binding and a named event generated
by a custom non-visual component.  What I'm trying to do is have a
property (say, 'data') which, when it changes, triggers the usual
data-binding updates, but also fires an event that can be listened to
in the MXML.  For example:




I can't seem to meet both of these requirements without throwing two
separate events.  Is this what I should expect?

When I do this:

[Event(name="dataChanged")]
public class MyClass {

[Bindable(name="dataChanged")]
public function set data(data:Object):void {
  this._data = data;
  dispatchEvent( new Event("dataChanged") );

..then the data binding doesn't work.  (The label text doesn't get
updated.)  It seems I have to resort to vanilla data binding (with no
event name), and in addition throw a 'dataChanged' event of my own.

[Event(name="dataChanged")]
public class MyClass {

[Bindable]
public function set data(data:Object):void {
  this._data = data;
  dispatchEvent( new Event("dataChanged") );

Am I missing something?

[flexcoders] Newbie help, dealing with a design in illustrator

[interz12]

Hi,
I'm relatively new to flex so bear with me. I am tasked with taking an
application design done in Illustrator CS3 and getting it up and
running in Flex 3. 

>From what I can tell the illustrator design is just a bunch of layers,
with images, text etc. It is not this vector/skin based thing that I
have read about with flex.

Can anyone suggest how to get this design into a flex app?

a) do I just crop out parts and peices into images, then bring them
into flex and add text and buttons, panels with the images as
backgrounds etc?

[flexcoders] Newbie Help: Resolve a multiname reference unambiguously...

[cox.blair]

Hi,

Totally a newbie here, so please excuse my ignorance. 

I've spent some time working through this problem and this is where I
am at. I want to be able to make multiple calls to my database tables.
I did use the create application from database to generate the php
code to create the xml I need. Works great for my needs, I just need
to be able to make calls to the server. I used the generated datagrid
to display and manipulate some data in my application, so I would like
to keep the original part, just add on to it.

>From what I gather, it is not possible to reference HTTPService twice.

Currently it appears in a ActionScipt file as ->
private var gateway:HTTPService = new HTTPService();

This part is the original datagrid application.


And again in a data block within the mxml file ->
http://localhost/debug/Points.php?method=FindAll";
result="resultHandlerSP(event)"/>

I added this to populate a combobox where the code for the datagrid
exists, except this combo references a different table than the
datagrid connects to.

How would I give an instance of HTTPService a unique ID - or populate
an array in a different way?

Thanks,

[flexcoders] Newbie Nested Remote Object Question

[kroghadam]

Hi everybody, I am really enjoying my first look into flex! 
Unfortunately I have ran into a problem with remote objects to java
classes that have compositions of objects in them. In other words my
class has an instance variable that is another object whose data i
also want to access, preferably through the same remote object.

If anyone has some pointers, links to examples or even source code I
would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

[flexcoders] Newbie help with Flex Builder CS3

[brucewhealton]

Hello all,
   I have to say that this relates to some very basic things
that I guess I don't yet have a good handle on yet.  Ok, the first
issue relates to a problem I am having with the Flash Player.  I did
address the issue previously on this list of not having the correct
Flash Player, the debug version installed.  I got answers for this on
the list and got things installed correctly.
  However, I cannot get any applications to run when I select
the run button within Flex Builder CS3 (from here on, I'll just say
from within flex).  When I do click on that button, it brings up the
browser which says that I need the Flash Player.  So, to check things
out, I go to adobe.com and indeed the Flash content there plays just
fine.  I right click on it and see that indeed I have the Flash Player
9, debugger version, working just fine.  If I try to test a flex
application from within flex, I get that error in the browser saying
that I need Flash Player.
 This started because I was trying to fix a problem that was
happening when I tried to display an application with a datagrid
component.  It was giving me an error saying that it could not read
the xml file or find it.  So, I tried to redefine the Flex workspace.  
  This demonstrated another newbie problem I have and that is
relating to the workspace designation in Flex.  If I change the
workspace after I've been working on a project/application, will that
cause serious problems?  
  This is an embarrassing problem as I'm not new to web
development.  I've done web development and have used a variety of
applications.  So, with regard to the workspace would changing this by
going to Switch Workspace cause a problem of this nature?
   I'm sorry if I'm confusing.  I have been learning flex
using a couple of different texts for learning, and it was only
recently that I ran into these errors.  
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bruce

I would say 'at a minimum'. It'll look a lot more organised. You may start

You'll have to be a bit more disciplined in when and where you use data 
binding, and to what.
You might need to look at ChangeWatcher, or something more 'serious' like the

[flexcoders] newbie question - multipage apps - best approach?

[hoytlee2000]

Hello,

I need some advice.  I am starting to develop more complex applications that is 
demanding 
more and more UI pages.  In the past, it was simple enough to include 
everything in the 
same MXML file and I used the viewstack or tab containers to switch between the 
pages.

But now I am finding the code to become increasingly unwieldly when working in 
Flex Builder 
(its just a lot of code to thumb through), so I am starting to build some of 
the UI elements as 
MXML components.

However, I am still relatively new to flex and action script so what are the 
guidelines for when 
to break something out as a component and when to keep it in the same MXML 
file?  Should 
each page of the UI be it's own MXML file and "inluded" in as a component?  And 
what are the 
draw backs?  Thanks.

Any words of advice would be appreciated or good articles to read would be 
helpful.  (I've 
programmed mostly in the past with PHP).

be well,
Hoyt

[flexcoders] newbie quistion

Hi All

I'm new here, I'm Peter from the Netherlands!

I need you help.
First i did'nt done anything yet in flex.
I know a bit actionscript 3.0

i want a little air application

with that application i can select in a combobox a link and that link open in 
the mx:html 
object. 

I have made a xml file with the name and the link. and it comes good in the 
combobox 
but i don't know how to set the selected link in a preferences file and open in 
the mx:html 
object.

the preferences file is because i want to make him smart and when its open the 
second 
time he must load the link i selected the first time.

How can i do this?
Do someone have a example or something like that?

Thanks in Advance!

Bye Peter from Amsterdam!

[flexcoders] newbie design question

[Eric Cooper]

I have been working in Flex for about 3 months now. I am writing a geometry 
tool that allows user to create 
points, line segments, circle and polygons, as well as constraints between 
these objects (e.g., distance, angle, 
perpendicular, etc.). Initially, I created a (subclass of) 
ApplicationControlBar and (a subclass) of Canvas. Tools in 
the app control bar and objects (by which I mean geometric shapes) in the 
canvas.

My canvas listeners for Event.RENDER and then, provided it's been told that 
something has changed, calls its 
draw() method - which, essentially, loops through objects, drawing them to the 
graphics object - after having 
cleared the graphics object. Similarly, the canvas listeners for various 
MouseEvents and KeyboardEvents, and 
traverses the list of objects doing hit tests.

This was okay until I needed to render text (for distances and angles). 
Apparently there are ways around that - 
by rendering text to a bitmap and adding bitmap to graphics command stack 
(though I have yet to actually get 
this working). There are other concerns that I have about my approach thus far.

But switching over to a model where each geometric object is a Sprite or a 
Shape raises some questions, too.

Currently, I can highlight points, edges and angles of polygons are the mouse 
moves over them. I have no idea 
how I would accomplish this with Sprite or Shape, as neither appears to have a 
draw() or paint() method... Would 
I need to add Shapes for "selected look" for each point, line segment, etc. and 
toggle visible property 
appropriately? Is this something that skins might be used for? If so, how?

I realize that this is a somewhat open-ended question, and I am hesitant asking 
it. I have done a fair amount of 
reading (books, blogs, docs), but I think that I am missing something here. If 
you have pointers or advice, I 
would be most grateful.

Thanks.

That is ok, but it is the hard way.  HTTPService is easier to use.

 

So you have the string you need in the completeHandler?  If so, then I guess
I don't understand your question.  If you need to 'save" that string for
later use by some other function, you could declare an "instance" (global)
variable and store it in that.  Declare that var outside of any function:

private var _sMyString:String;

 

then in completeHandler():

_sMyString = event.target.data.resultCode;

 

Now you can access that value from most anywhere.

 

That warning is from the function declaration:

Re: [flexcoders] newbie question

[Pat Buchanan]

Steve:

Several things you need to do.  First, make sure you have *defined a result
handler* for the function call.  Sounds like you have because you said you
could see the result come back.  Then, just access the result via the event,
like below:

private function getMyAnswer_Handler(event:ResultEvent):void{
   Alert.show(event.result);
}

If you are returning a string from your CF call, then the above code would
just show it in an alert box.  Replace it with your function to pass it
along to whatever you want to do with it.

Also, if you want quick responses in the future, be sure to provide a
summary of your question in the subject.  With the amount of questions that
get posted to this forum, many people don't open the messages without know
what they are about.

[flexcoders] newbie question

[Steve Good]

Let me start by saying that I am completely new to Flex and obviously the
list.  I'll apologize upfront for asking the dumb and obvious questions, but
I'm still going to ask them :P

 

So here's a description of what I'm doing and my question.

 

I built an Air app with Flex 3 that posts some form data to a remote cfm
file.  The cfm file then returns a string.  If I watch the app running in
the Flex Builder 3 debug perspective I can see the string that's returned.
My question is this.  How do I get that string and make it available to
another function?  I want to use the returned string in another post method
in the same app.

 

If more details are required I can give them, just holler J and Thanks in
advance.

I want to do 2 different things:

1) I want to load a text file from a hard-coded location and load its
contents in a string. 
2) I want to load a text file from a location choosed by user and load
its contents in a string.

How can I achieve these 2 tasks.

Thanks.

If i understand correctly, off the top of my head you could do something

like:

//inside parent containing VS.
addEventListener("NextEvent", handleNext);

function handleNext(e:Event):void{
var c:MyFormComponent = e.currentTarget as MyFormComponent;
next(c);
}

function next(c:MyFormComponent){
//something.
myVs.selectedIndex < maxIndex ? myVs.selectedIndex++ : null ;
}

//inside child component within vs.
function handleClick(e:Event):void{
if (e.currentTarget == next)
dispatchEvent(new Event("NextEvent", true));
else
dispatchEvent(new Event("PreviousEvent", true));

}




HTH.

Thanks very much for your reply...

I have a component that displays a form (currently in 
selectedIndex 0), from this component I want the click to send me 
to ViewStack.selectedIndex 1.

Is there something like parent.selectedIndex?
Access the ViewStack (that contains the component as one of its 
children) directly from the component doesnt work.



How would I do that?

You'd generally use a ViewStack if the pages have little UI in common
with each other. Use states if they have a lot in common. You can also
mix and match, using a ViewStack for part of the screen, etc.

 

A ViewStack shows 1 of N of its child views. You change which child it
displays by setting its selectedChild or selectedIndex property.

I want to get a log in page working in flex.
Doing this in html/jsp one would create a page, submit the page

How do I allow the user to navigate from one page to the next?

color, font of any text in the TEXTAREA programmability. As far as I
know I can not achieve this through textarea because it allows to
change the color,font of selected text. 

So, I thought of using RichTextboxEditor. However, I just need a
simple textarea and not the toolbar, header and other controls visible
in RichTextboxEditor. I have hide the toolbar and header of
RichTextboxEditor but the size of textarea(in RichTextboxEditor) is
not equivalent to the size of RichTextboxEditor. 

Can anyone please help. I would be really thankful to him/her.

Re: [flexcoders] Newbie Question - Random position in an array

[Maciek Sakrejda]

Note that this will break on sparse arrays, though. In Flex, it's
perfectly valid to have something like

var foo:Array = [];
foo[0] = 2;
foo[3] = 5;

This array has length 4, but only two elements. Elements 1 and 2
evaluate to 'undefined'. I'm not sure if there's an easy way to pick a
random element out of a sparse array. If you want something
unscientific, I suppose you can just increment the randomly chosen index
until you find something. Or randomly pick again (although with *really*
sparse arrays, this could theoretically be a perf problem).

[flexcoders] newbie: pushing data changes back to server

[andrew_sinning]

I've been working with Flash in AS2 for quite a while, but so far I've
only just worked through the tutorials in Flex.  The examples show how
to display xml data.  Now I need to modify data, add records (nodes),
and post changes back to the server.

In one of the examples, the data in an rss feed is displayed in a
DataGrid.  When you select a row in the DataGrid a detail about the
selectedItem are displayed in a TextArea using data-binding.

Let's assume that the data is something other than an RSS feed, e.g. a
list of dogs at a kennel.

So, how do I make changes to the text in the TextArea get bound back
to the selectedItem in the DataGrid?

How do I add a new item to the data in the DataGrid?

How do I push these changes back to the server?

I know I'm asking a lot, but I'm itching to get started and I'm just
stuck.

Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie XML to ArrayCollection Confusion

[Tracy Spratt]

You can't convert directly, unless you use
resultFormat="object"(default), which converts your sml into a nested
dynamic object structure.  But you have no control over this conversion,
and it can have some side-effects, particularly with data type
conversions.

 

People often convert xml into an ArrayCollection of strongly typed
objects, because accessing strongly typed pbjects is significantly
faster than accessing XML, which this can help performance with very
large data displays (hundreds of renderers).  You will need to loop over
the XMLList (xmlData.score), and build the value object items and add
them to the ArrayCollection manually.

 

But, why not simply use XMLListCollection?

hScores = new XMLListCollection(xmlData.score);

Hi there,

I'm learning the ropes of Flex. I have a pretty much textbook example
of how to set up a datagrid that is resulting in compile time syntax
errors. I can't for the life of me see the error.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I think you need define your list in an  (inside the source block)
since this is the type of the ArrayCollection.source property. I could be
wrong though, I usually don't define data in MXML.

[flexcoders] Newbie needs advice with writing data

[Andy Gaffney]

Hi all, hope you can help.

I have just started learning Flex and I want to prove an essential  
Component of my Application.

I  need to be able to have a View where the user can add their images  
& captions to the Model.
What is the simplest way of doing this?

I think I need a web service to do this, but since I am making a  
"Kiosk" application, I think Iwill need to
use localhost with some scripting.  I haven't done any back-end work  
since CGI/Perl so I am looking
for a solution that will be easy to learn and implement.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Andy

set verticalScrollPosition on the form.
 
Other folks shrink the datagrid and grow the form so it doesn't have
scrollbars then reverse when the user is "done" with the form.

Hello,

I have a datagrid and underneath the datagrid I'm using a Form to
display the entire record. When I click on a cell in the datagrid it
shows the data in the form, but you have to manually scroll down to
view the information. I would like to scroll down the page and focus
to the Form to show the rest of the record. This way I can keep the
datagrid reasonably small. 

Thanks!

My second step was to attempt to filter the data in the datagrid and

I have two pages. The first is the main. In the main I
load my  xml data as follows using Httpservice. I pass this data to the
second page as follows: 



// accommodations has been declared publicly in
SearchView.mxml and accoms is the variable that was used to accept data
sent by httpservice.  Once the data is passed, I display in the
datagrid. All is fine at this stage.

My second step was to attempt to filter the data in the
datagrid and this is where my trouble began. I have two actionscript
files one is for carrying out the filtering and the other is for the
filterEvent. oh by the way there is yet another actionscript file which
is essentially the class file for accommodations.  At this point, the
following sequence of events can take place:

*   a click on a checkbox calls a function
dispatchFilter
*   the dispatch filter creates an instance of class
filterevent and dispatches the event
*   the dispatched event takes as its parameter
instance of the filter class and thus reviews what has been checked or
unchecked..

I tried using a get function but a while I realised that
I miss something relating to passing data between components.


   

RE: [flexcoders] newbie

This is the function I thought of introducing.  I didn't introduce it because I 
couldn't really work out how it would be called if I wanted data to be updated 
automatically i.e. without a button click or something like that. 
  [Bindable]
   private var selectedAccoms:ArrayCollection;
   public function updateGrid():void
   {
   selectedAccoms = new ArrayCollection(accommodations);
   //selectedAccoms.filterFunction =;
   selectedAccoms.refresh();
   dgAccom.dataProvider = selectedAccoms;
   }

RE: [flexcoders] newbie

[Gordon Smith]

If you're writing an app with multiple components, you need a clear
understanding of how each component will reference the others. For
example, if you write
 


...

 
then in the Application script you can refer to searchView to get the
SearchView instance and in the SearchView script you can refer to
parentDocument or application to get the Application instance.
 
If your searchView script has code like
 
private var filter:SearchViewFilter;
 
private someMethod():void
{
...
filter = new SearchViewFilter();
...
}
 
then your searchView can access the SearchViewFilter instance as
'filter'. However, you don't have a back reference from the
SearchViewFilter instance to the SearchView unless you do somethign like
pass 'this' in the constructor and store it.

[flexcoders] newbie

[g07m5064]

I am adapting flexstore such that the products are displayed in a grid.
Essentially the user clicks on either a price slider or checkboxes.
The click event calls a dispatchFilter function. This function creates
an instance of a class called FilterEvents..the FilterEvents triggers
the filtering via the Filter class. When all of this have been done I
need the returned data to be displayed on a datagrid. There is a get
function that has been implemented for purposes of populating the
dataprovider. I am at loss. Please help. 

I am sorry no code is included. I really didn't know which part to
include.

Re: [flexcoders] newbie - adapting flexstore

[Mathe Maema]

Thanks guys. I tried binding my data to the dataprovider. That didn't work. I 
suppose I have some logical problems with my code. 
  This is essentially what I want to happen. I click on the checkbox for 
triband and use a slider to adjust the price and relevant data is displayed.  I 
have retained much of the flexstore code but perhaps fail to understand how the 
data is retained after filtering. I will review my code again.
   
  Thanks

Subject: [flexcoders] newbie - adapting flexstore

   
Hi,
I am new to flex. I would like to adapt the flexstore example such
that the filtered results are displayed in a grid (this is definitely
inspired by home locator). Anyway, after the filtering, I don't quite
comprehend how the datagrid will be updated. Any ideas?
