I didn't find any clear explanation how list in ComboBox could be sorted alphabetically. It's very annoying that this ComboBox takes data from array (label/data) in random order.
View 2 RepliesI have xml data that I can load into my flex app; however, I need to sort it by node.I'm trying to create a combobox or listbox that can display a list of locations sorting them either alphabetically or by the category they are in...
I can't get my head around how to format the xml or how to code the flash file to sort according to location name alphabetically and then press a button that will sort it by category 1st and second by name alphabetically.
Should I format the xml like this:
<POIs>
<location>
<name>Barbaras Bagels</name>

I'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.
I have a combobox and list component on the stage. The combobox has 3 selections. How do I get it so that each selection triggers the specific xml file to load into the list component? I can't get them to communicate to each other.
View 1 RepliesI am working on a quiz application for a client. I currently have an array that as the user goes from one question to another, it holds the question number if the user answers the question incorrectly. At the end I have the results of the array displayed on a dynamic text field.I was wondering if there is a way to display the contents of the array at the end on a comboBox or list component. And, is there a way to make the items on the comboBox or list component be clickable so that the user could navigate to a different place on the project (like the section that explains how to answer the question correctly).Right now i have the array being created at the beggining:var questionsArray:Array = new Array();I have acommand so that if the question is wrong, add the number of the quesiton to the array:questionsArray.push(" #1");and I display the results of the array at the end:

But the ComboBoxes are being created dynamically with AS3, everything is working except I cant bind the second ComboBox dataProvider to be the XMLList in the first ComboBox's selectedItem.
When a combobox is elected in the flex app, there is a quick flicker, then the combobox needs to be selected again in order to get the dropdown to open. After that, the dropdown works as expected, but only while selecting the control subsequent times while on the form. Reloading the form requires the double selection again.
View 1 RepliesI have a combo box on the stage in a main SWF. when the user selects an item in the dropdown list a child SWF is launched into level0 using loadMovieNum and data is left behind using _global variables for the child SWF to use. this works fine and well. but inside the new child SWF that is launched is a button that takes you back to the previous main SWF with the ComboBox. its done using the same method loadMovieNum into level0. and the main SWF loads but you cannot open the ComboBox. it will not drop down. the halo green color on hover over is there and it gets darker when you click, but the list doesn't drop down. here is some code that I think may be significant to the situation...

Because of screen size, I must ensure we're only displaying necessary data to the user.I have a drop down box that contains only 5 items and I would like that when an item is selected, it doesn't appear in the drop down box (since technically it's showing twice, once at the top as the selected item and once in the list). how I would achieve this? I tried using a custom CellRender and overriding the "set selected" function to call this.visible = false if selected is true, but that simply hides the item but does not remove it from the layout of the drop down list.

I want to show some different-2(dynamic) icon in my combo Box drop down list. I am able to show icon in combo box list but I want to change the color of this icon for different-2 values.
Here is ActionScript Code:
for(i=0;i<len;i++){
newColor = "0x"+_root.colorList.items[i].ColorCode;
labelText = _root.colorList.items[i].DeptCodeComboDesc;
comboClip.clip.opaqueBackground = parseInt(newColor);
_root.colorListCombo.addItem({label:labelText,pIcon:"comboClip"});
"comboClip" is a clip which I want to show as icon in combobox.

I'm trying to implement this for an instance of ComboBox specifically, which uses a List to display the dropdown menu full of items. Lists can have icons associated with them, as described in the documentation:
var comboBox = addChild(new ComboBox());
comboBox.dataProvider = new DataProvider([{label:'item1',iconClass:IconClass1},{label:'item2',iconClass:IconClass2}]);
comboBox.dropdown.iconField = 'iconClass';
... assuming IconClass1 and IconClass2 are valid classnames of symbols in our library, this code works perfectly.
Here's my question - the contents of this ComboBox will be XML-driven, populated dynamically, and I'd really rather include that icon reference as a filename instead of a classname, so that when the whole thing is implemented, the icon can be changed in the XML without opening Flash and adding a new symbol to the library. Clients aren't generally good at that sort of thing.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to find a way to reference the container for the instance of that icon class - the ComboBox.dropdown is obviously keeping a reference to each list item somewhere, and if I can find it, I can load the icon images dynamically, then addChild them to the icon instance.

i have a combobox with instance name fonts and this code on frame 1:
Code:

fontAr = TextField.getFontList()
[Code].....
it simply populates the combobox with all the fonts on your system...
but it is not very user friendly....
it would appear it orders them in order of date, which were last installed/made....
but if i am to actually USE this it would actually have some use if it were alphabetical...
so my question is this:
how can i re-arrange an array in alphabetical order?
I'm generating an XML file within a class I'm writing. Let's say this was the starting XML:[code]I want to add additional <element>'s. The first order of sorting is by "type", then "x", then "y". So if I add a new "type" of <element>, let's say type "Text", I want Text to be inserted after any "Image" <element>'s.[code]The basic idea is to keep the list sorted as I add more <element>'s to each <container>.The numeric sorting is simple enough, but I can't figure out a clean way to sort alphabetically.The only thing I can think of is to get the types into an Array. Add the "new type", sort and call indexOf()... the number SHOULD be the current position I should insert before?
View 2 RepliesI want to sort items in the datagrid alphabetically by name.The order should be:
1) The name should first check for upeercase of the name if it is not then it should look for lowercase for the same letter alphabetically.
For example : if i have array of items say{Apple,boy,ant,Bat) then after sorting the list shld be
Apple
ant
Bat
boy
I used strcmp(x,y) in C++. Do you know how to do that in as3?
In an alphabetically sorted array, I want to jump from one letter to another. So, when Im with a word beginning with a, I want to jump to the next item beginning with etc
Ive set up this simple script, which simply look at the first character of the current item, then loop in the (sorted) array until it finds a different first character It works very well hen descending! But when ascending, the script sees that there is character change but this is not the first item beginning with that letterbut the last one (since we are coming from bottom to top)
And of course I would like the script to give me the very first item beginning with a new letter.
(So, to summarize, I want to browse an array alphabetically, up & down, so that each time I press on the UP arrow key, I go up in the alphabet.and when I press the DOWN arrow key, I go down in the alphabet)

I have a table which stores high-scores, along with player ids. I want to be able to extract a record by a players id, and then get the rank, or position of their score in the table. Means, Basically I want to be able to say "you are in Nth" position, purely based on the players score against all other scores. For Example: if i am at 46th position then to me the position message will be like you are at 46th position out of total scores. Can anyone show me small example?

I have a column in a data grid that has the values of "Monday", "Tuesday" etc, as varchars, and I wanted to know, how do i sort the column to be in the correct order. Doing a normal sort doesnt work obviously, as the days are not alphabetically ordered naturally (Wed after Thurs). I am assuming some sort of itemrenderer, but anyone got a snippet of code to illustrate how this would work?
View 1 RepliesHow should I go about matching the selected row of a sorted DataGrid to its source data row within its associated data provider?
For example, once a user sorts a DataGrid by clicking on one of the column headers, the target.selectedIndex from the CHANGE event (generated next time a row is selected) represents the index of the sorted row and not the index of the data as supplied by the data provider. Is there a simple way to map the index of the user selection back to the index of the original data?
I am using the DataGrid component in Flash, that is loaded with data via a external XML file. I have a column, A (Serial), which once loaded, I'd like for the information to be sorted Ascendingly, automatically.

import fl.data.DataProvider;
import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;

I have an AdvancedDatagrid which gets populated by an ArrayCollection. I ordered the ArrayCollection by date (one of its properties), so it shows from past to future. The thing is, if I refresh the GroupingCollection (for immediate display in the datagrid) After the Sorting of the ArrayCollection, the ordering of the dates in the ArrayCollection gets scrambled again, but displays the populated AdvancedDatagrid immediately. So in sum: from ArrayCollection > Sorting > Refresh the GroupingCollection > Populates the Adv.DataGrid, but the ArrayCollection is not sorted anymore.
View 2 RepliesI have a browser-deployed Flash app (not an AIR app with access to SQLConnection) and it fetches JSON results from a remote server via HTTPService. I need to extract subsets from the returned resultset, an array of objects, efficiently. Mutltiple calls through the cloud to the back-end won't do. It all has to happen client-side.Is there any collection class in Flex ActionScript that can sort an array of objects by one of the properties the objects all have in common, like the Array sortOn method, and then also provides a binary search method can extract a subset of objects from the sorted version of the array without visiting every item in the array and comparing?if I have an array of objects and each object had a zip property and a name property, I'd like to be able to extract all objects with zip = 10015 from the a copy of the original array where the copy has been sorted on zip.
