RE: [flexcoders] Newbie can't find selectedItem in comboBox when dataProvider is remoteObject
If you don't know what is in an object, use a for-in loop to trace() the
names and values of its properties:
var p:String;
for (p in o)
{
trace(p + ": " + o[p]);
}

Hi Tracy,
What you've described is exactly where I've been looking.
To be honest I'm not sure what the dataProvider looks like or what it is
beyond being an 'object' - in the Flash MX IDE I could look at what was
getting passed back and forth in the remoting debugger, but I'm not sure
how to do that in Flex
What I do know is that accessing remoteObject.call.result.items as the
dataProvider appears to populate the label fields of the ComboBox (Looks
like a populated comboBox as intended), but there does not appear to be
a
selectedItem.label nor a selectedItem.data available on selection
(though
selectedItem itself is an [object Object] - how do I get to see what
that
object and it's properties are?
How can I post you a bit of the dataProvider?
Cheers,
Phil

Re: [flexcoders] Newbie can't find selectedItem in comboBox when dataProvider is remoteObject
Woo hoo! :-)
The Net.Connection debugger did it and no one would've guessed what the
dataProvider looked like!
where I had
{kingdoms_cb.selectedItem.label}
in my remotingObject's method . . .
. . . I needed
{categories1.items[kingdoms_cb.selectedIndex].KINGDOM}
thanks for all the help folks
as usual the whole exercise has helped get a better picture of it all anyway

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie can't find selectedItem in comboBox when dataProvider is remoteObject
Additional note for Daman's option 2.) After turning on remote-objects-debug in flex-config.xml, you'd either: a) Use the NetConnection Debugger.swf from the extras folder that ships with Flex to watch AMF traffic as you did in Flash MX. b) Turn on the gateway "Debug" level logging in /WEB-INF/flex/gateway-config.xml and then do as Daman suggests and watch the server console. This is the suggested way as it can show strongly typed objects that are registered with Object.registerClass(). Also note that an option 3.) would be to use an ActionScript object dumping utility class to iterate over the returned object and print out the object graph to the trace() flashlog.txt file or to a text component in you movie. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dogra, Daman Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 11:52 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Newbie can't find selectedItem in comboBox when dataProvider is remoteObject There are couple of ways I check the payloads going back and forth 1) Flex Builder IDE has the Network monitor (Last tab in the "Results" window) which does the trick. 2) You could set true in the flex-config.xml and see debug statements, including payloads, on the server console (wherever you are running the flex server).

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie can't find selectedItem in comboBox when dataProvider is remoteObject
HI Philippe,
Yes that works - when I use any of the documented examples it's fine, but
I'm not absolutely clear what the structure of the dataProvider is,
because it's the result object from a remoting call.
All I know is that in a normal Flash MX movie I can use the object as a
dataProvider for the comboBox component and I can access the selected
item as selectedItem.label, but in Flex while I can use the result object
as a dataProvider for the mx:ComboBox I can't access
selectedItem.label
It seems like Flex handles data slightly differently and I can't quite
get my head round it.
:-(

Subject: [flexcoders] Newbie can't find selectedItem in comboBox
when dataProvider is remoteObject
Hi All,
Flex newbie here ;-)
As a way of checking out Flex I'm trying to port an ImageBank app
that was built using Flash MX, AMFPHP (Remoting) and mySQL
I've quickly got an interface up and running and I've managed to
populate a comboBox using the same remoting call that the original
comboBox uses.
In the original, selecting an item from the kingdom comboBox would
trigger another remoting call passing the selected item as an
argument.
The second call would result in the phylum comboBox being
populated.
I can't get it to work in Flex.
I can populate the phylum comboBox if I pass an explicit argument,
but I just can't seem to find a way to access the 'selectedItem' from
the kingdom comboBox checking what I'm referencing I either get an
[object][object] or undefined! :-(
I've tried various things like selectedItem.data, getSelectedItem()
etc etc
Has anyone else done this and got an insight? I've read various
bits
of documentation and searched this lists archive, but I seem to be
missing something?
Here's a summary version of my code - any insight would be very much
appreciated.
Cheers,

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie can't find selectedItem in comboBox when dataProvider is remoteObject
There are couple of ways I check the payloads going back and forth
1) Flex Builder IDE has the Network monitor (Last tab in the "Results"
window) which does the trick.
2) You could set true in
the flex-config.xml and see debug statements, including payloads, on
the server console (wherever you are running the flex server).

Cheers Daman,
Can't seem to get that to work either. :-(
I'm wondering . . .. in the Flash IDE there was a remoting debugger that
would let me see what was getting passed back and forth - is there
anything
like that in the Flex IDE?
Perhaps I need to put the remoting result into a Flex model object and
use
that as the dataProvider (Grasping at straws!)

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie can't find selectedItem in comboBox when dataProvider is remoteObject
If you are using Flex Builder, then you can do detailed debugging. If
you are using binding to handle your data, this is harder. That is the
main reason I avoid using binding with data services and handle the
return in a handler function. In that handler, I can use the debugger
to inspect the contents of the result object, or use trace for simpler
stuff.
I highly recommend getting the logging to the flashlog.txt file working.
There are also a couple components out there that let you examine
runtime activity, search the archives for the specifics, also there is a
macromedia app called FastStart that has an object inspector in it. I
have not used it.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Newbie can't find selectedItem in comboBox
when dataProvider is remoteObject
Cheers Daman,
Can't seem to get that to work either. :-(
I'm wondering . . .. in the Flash IDE there was a remoting debugger that
would let me see what was getting passed back and forth - is there
anything
like that in the Flex IDE?
Perhaps I need to put the remoting result into a Flex model object and
use
that as the dataProvider (Grasping at straws!)

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie can't find selectedItem in comboBox when dataProvider is remoteObject
The [Object] object thing means you are trying to look at a complex
object, which selectedItem returns. SelectedItem is not a value, as you
might expect, but rather a reference to the row/node/object in the
dataProvider that populated that particular list item. What you probably
want is a property of that object.
What does your dataProvider look like? If you have used the default
array of objects, with "label" and "data" properties, and then your
selectedItem.data should work. Are you using a result handler and can
you debug the result of the remote object?
Since selectedItem is an Object, you might need to cast it to the type
that your dataProvider really provides.
Now, Combobox has a property value, about which the docs say:
value
value: Object
The data property if it exists or the label property of the
selectedItem.
Note again that it is an object, and your should cast it to a string or
number or whatever.
Post a bit of your dataProvider content if you are still having trouble.

Subject: [flexcoders] Newbie can't find selectedItem in comboBox when

Hi All,
Flex newbie here ;-)
As a way of checking out Flex I'm trying to port an ImageBank app
that was built using Flash MX, AMFPHP (Remoting) and mySQL
I've quickly got an interface up and running and I've managed to
populate a comboBox using the same remoting call that the original
comboBox uses.
In the original, selecting an item from the kingdom comboBox would
trigger another remoting call passing the selected item as an
argument.
The second call would result in the phylum comboBox being populated.
I can't get it to work in Flex.
I can populate the phylum comboBox if I pass an explicit argument,
but I just can't seem to find a way to access the 'selectedItem' from
the kingdom comboBox checking what I'm referencing I either get an
[object][object] or undefined! :-(
I've tried various things like selectedItem.data, getSelectedItem()
etc etc
Has anyone else done this and got an insight? I've read various bits
of documentation and searched this lists archive, but I seem to be
missing something?
Here's a summary version of my code - any insight would be very much
appreciated.
Cheers,
Phil
