I have an XML file that I have imported into an ArrayCollection. I can get all child elements of the XML (ArrayCollection), but can't for the life of me get to the attribute. Where does the array collection put it?
View 2 RepliesI am having issues with this method. It's supposed to loop through stage elements (news feed) and check if the item is checked/enabled. If they are, it should add them into an array ratingAC, which will keep track of the number of elements that are rated, and the rating total. The problem I am having is that only one item is added to the total even if multiple are selected.

I want to populate a ComboBox with UNIQUE VALUES of "appName" field from the ArrayCollection initDG.
<mx:ComboBox id="appCombo" dataProvider="{initDG}" labelField="appName"/>
One method I could think is to loop through the Array objects and for each object check and push unique appName entries into another Array. Is there any better solution available?
I have a big ArrayCollection variable. I want to filter it serveral times and each time assign the filtered result to a different ArrayCollection variable.
So if it has let's say people, fruits and cars. (for illustration purposes) I want to first filter it to only show people, assign the result to a people ArrayCollection, then filter it to show fruits and assign it to a fruits ArrayCollection and so on.
How can I do that? Not the filtering, but the assignment after filtering. Or is it faster to instead run a for-loop through the big ArrayCollection and just add each item into the corresponding smaller ArrayCollection?
I have an ArrayCollection and each element is an instance of the TreeNode class (a custom class made by me) that has a "children" property which is an ArrayCollection of more TreeNode elements. That way, I have a tree of elements in an ArrayCollection structure:
tree = new ArrayCollection([
[new TreeNode(param1, param2, new ArrayCollection([
[new TreeNode(param1, param2, null)],
[Code]....
But my problem is: I need to have the same "tree" structure (it doens't need to be the same variable) filled with instances of another class. How can I achieve that?
Anyone know how to animate the size/position of child elements of a layout in Flex 4 ?
I have a list component with a custom layout. I want when I change the positions of the child elements I want them to animate their move to the new positions.
I have a movieclip, with the instance name SizingBox, on the main timeline. Within that mc, I have a Slider component, with the instance name Sizer. I want to declare an action listener on the main timeline which will listen to changes for Sizer and do something based on the current value of the slider.In AS2 this was really easy, but I cannot seem to figure it out for AS3.
Code:
var X = SizingBox.Sizer.value;
this code gives an error.

I am trying to develeop a Graph Structure with drag and drop features in Flex. I have to connect various components/children on the canvas. Once i drag n drop the components on the canvas, i am using SystemManager event handlers to draw connectors between the components. But, as i click on one component and drag the mouse, the line is drawn on the canvas as long as my mouse stays only on the canvas. If the mouse moves over a component/child(that has been dragged and dropped onto the canvas), the line is drawn to the origin of the canvas from the first clicked component. How shud i recognize the component when i move my mouse over the component? I want the line to be drawn connecting the components once my mouseup event is called.
View 3 RepliesI have a control which contains many child elements (about 1000), and I need to sort them.Now I doing that like this:
_elements.sortOn(...);
for (var i: int = 0; i < _elements.length; i++) {
setItemIndex(_childItems[_elements[i].id], i);
}
_childElement - object that contains UI-child elements, which i need to sort (key of the dictionary is an identifier from data-object
_elements - array contains data-objects
But this is too slow! How to reorder the childs by my criteria as fast as possible?
I'm working on a simple task/calendar tool where tasks can be added dynamically to a canvas. Here is the main application as defined in Main.mxml, which is essentially just a Canvas and a button for adding a task:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
<mx:Canvas id="MainCanvas" borderStyle="solid" width="300" height="300">
[Code].....
The problem is that when I add a Task instance to the Canvas, the children (the button and label) don't appear. I tried setting creationPolicy="all" on both the Canvas and the BorderContainer, but it still didn't work. I've read a bunch of posts about people having issues accessing members of their class before the class is fully loading, but all I want to do is SEE that Label and Button show up inside the BorderContainer.
I have a Hdividedbox, which has three child elements.
I want to set the initial ration of sizes, such that the first one is 30%, the second is 40% & the third is 30% of the Hdividedbox's width.
Ok every time I think I understand the DisplayObject model i find something else that seems like it should work but fails. Am I correct that if I create a sprite then create another sprite and add it as a child the original parent sprite will show a height of 0... In my case i have three classes that all extend Sprite and each one is creating the next with the "youngest child" being a class that adds an image to its "stage". I can see the image height fine but its holder does not nor does its holders parent... im having a real moment here as I debate if im just stupid and missing the obvious way to do this or if I really have to add a bunch of getters and setters to see the height that includes children.Maybe I am thinking of this too much like a CSS block element but it just seems like it should work this way...for example
parent "holder" <- child "slide" <- child "image"
holder.height == 0
slide.height == 0

I have the following XML structure:
[Code]...
This will parse child elements of the <text-block> but will not work with <ul> as it has its own child elements <li>. I guess this could be accomplished with yet another loop but I wanted to check to see if there was another simpler way.
I'm new to Flex and am using TileList bound to an ArrayCollection. The array collection is empty at load time, and then updates with the results from am HTTPService call. The problem is that the item renderers aren't being rendered as expected, I'm guessing because there was no data when they were first rendered at load time. Here's simplified example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" >
<mx:Script>

I have a advanced datagrid and populating some data by using arraycollection. And i am filtering the arraycollection, the arraycollection index got changed.
Arraycollection:- [0] - name: abc
[1] - name: hello
[2] - name: hello1
[3] - name:hai
after filtering the arraycollection as 'hell' , the array collection is displaying like the below:
Arraycollection:-
[0] - name: hello1
[1] - name: hello
Can i know the reason why the index got changed after filter it?
* no server side code for filtering. it is only flex side filtering.
Is it generally to position elements relative to other elements or in absolute values?
View 2 Repliesis it possible to make the child elements of a vbox to occupy 100% of the width without indicating width=100% for each element ?
View 3 Repliesdoes anyone know how to shift all the array elements by one or more without deleting the array itself?
Something like rotating the array:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
7,8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6
