Im currently creating a list in Adobe Flex/Actionscript for a person search app. At the moment, the list shows 1 line of text:
<fx:Script>

import model.PersonSummary;

I am using a spark list control to display certain items with my custom Item Renderer. I am trying to achieve the following: (1) show a separating line between rows in my list control (2) even when not a single row has been added, I want a horizontal grid lines to be displayed in the background
I am not sure whether (1) and (2) can be achieved in one go. I can solve (1) by modifying my item renderer to have a border, I guess. But I want to know whether there is a better or more conventional way.
I'm a Flex noob and I've been struggling with this problem for a last week, and I'm at my wits end.
I have opened the following XML file
<root>
<person>
<city-of-death>asdf</city-of-death>
<place-of-death>qwert</place-of-death>
</person>

I would be so incredibly grateful if someone could help. I am pulling out my hair!
I have a List, that is not showing any items until you scroll, then the items show up. Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried calling list.invalidateDisplayList(); and list.invalidateList();
EDIT: Here is some code:

I found that if I add creationComplete="{list.dataProvider = _xmlList }" It solves the problem.
I'm working on a flash cards application and am using an ArrayCollection of Objects to store each cards individual data. When the user click the 'save' button, the text from the two textAreas and the 'title' textinput are stored in the AC as one object with .title, .side1 and .side2 properties that contain the text from the flash card. I have made a List in a separate class I want to have display the title of each card the user has created, but after days of researching and looking around, I still cannot get the display to list the titles.
Part of my NewCard.mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I want to create a list of progress bars and update the list accordingly.I have group data in an Array as
<mx:Array id="arr">
<mx:Object label="Group One" min="0" max="200" currentValue="60" />
<mx:Object label="Group Two" min="0" max="300" currentValue="50" />[code]....
The values in the array object indicate name of group,minimum,maximum and current value for the group (to be used in progressbar).I used the list with "mx.controls.ProgressBar" as itemRenderer as
<mx:List width="100%" dataProvider="{arr}"
itemRenderer="mx.controls.ProgressBar"/>
Now what I need is whenever currentValue field of Array "arr" changes i want to update the progressbar "progress" value to currentValue (where min and maximum value of progressbar are stored in Array "arr").
I seem to have is that the Autocomplete component that seems to be part of flex extras is not displaying the list of items in the dropdown list. Basically, I get a list of blank items. I know they are there and they are the right items because as soon as I click on one, I get the right text in the combobox.
my Code in the mxml looks something like this
<mx:FormItem label="Company:" width="750" fontSize="20" horizontalAlign="right" color="#000000" required="true">
<ns1:AutoComplete enabled="true" labelField="CompanyName" textAlign="left" dropdownWidth="450" id="txtCompany" width="450" />
[Code]....
Again, when I type "T" in the text box I see a dropdown list with 3 empty items. Clicking on the third item puts "Test3" in the textbox. But the items themselves are not visible.
It almost as if its a font/foreground color thing, but I've played around with some of those settings too with no success.
I have an issue with Spark Lists whereby I am trying to ensure that an item is always selected and ensure that the GUI displays this to the user.
The application (full code below) creates a List, a Label and a Button. The Label states what is selected in the List. The button removes the selected item. Changing the selection, updates the text in the Label. Important: The List has "requireSelection" set to true to ensure that an item is always selected.
If I select the first item in the List, the selection is correctly reflected in the label. Clicking "Remove" removes the item and the next item is selected. This is all working correctly.[code]...
I have a Line chart with 12 Legends. Hence the are getting truncated at the end instead of wrapping around dude to lack of space. show the remaining legends on next line. e.g 6 legends on each ln
View 1 RepliesI have a candleStickChart in flex 4.5 with a dateTimeAxis horizontal axis.I wish to have a button that enables to draw a line on top of that chart.I wrote a code that each time the button is click, a new CartesianDataCanvas is created. than I do a pretty standard line drawing by listening for the MOUSE_DOWN, MOUSE_MOVE, and MOUSE_UP to draw the line.In the MOUSE_DOWN event I create the new CartesianDataCanvas, and update the annotaionArray as described in the following code: (candles is the candleStickChart's id)
public function startDrawing(event:MouseEvent):void
{
canvas = new CartesianDataCanvas;

I have a drop down list for selecting the titles for a person, I want to employ smooth drop down when i select the drop down menu.
View 1 RepliesFor some reason, if you add an image to htmlText, like the following:
myText.htmlText = "<img src='"+dataProvider.bodyImage.getUrl('original')+"' align='left' />" + dataProvider.bodyText;
The image will be successfully added to the htmlText, but it seems to measure the sizes completely wrong. At times, the actual text (dataProvider.bodyText) will have part 'hidden' under the image. At other times, there are anywhere from 1 to 4 lines cut off at the bottom. However, if you select the text and drag your mouse down, you can see the bottom lines. It appears the text is all there, but the mx:Text component is not including the image in the textHeight, so it doesnt resize the componenet to the correct size.
Im creating a person search interface in Adobe Flex / Actionscript where we have an image for each person and a bit of text. Im looking to implement some like this:HorizontalList InterfaceORCarousel InterfaceBoth of these packages are unfortunately only for desktop Flex, I was wondering if anyone knew mobile flex (particularly Blackberry Playbook) alternatives?

//Where myDataArray is an ArrayCollection consisting of my Custom ValueObjects. When i execute the code it displays my list with custom item renderer, which is fine. But when bring my mouse over it, it doesn't give any colour highlight which means it is not selecting. Secondly, when i click on any of the list item, it doesn't dispatch any change event. I tried a lot but couldn't understand it.
In Flex 4 (beta 2), I have a list control populated from an XMLListCollection. What I would like to do is when an item is selected in the list, use a custom item renderer on the selected item as well as the item that appears just prior to the selected item in the list.
I am using a spark list control, but I am open to alternate components if the solution makes sense.Here is the strucutre of the xml used to populate the XMLListCollection

In an application I have created (web) I need to list out my facebook friends within a canvas (or any container) along with their profile pictures.
I am using Flash Builder 4.5. I have also managed to set up AIR app (using the samples) so I am not sure if I am on the right track.
The requirement is :
When each user logs into the site his/her friends list should appear in the frame along with the friend's profile pictures.
I am learning Adobe Air and want to get the current selected item in the spinner list I have created, however every time I use selectedItem I keep getting the same value over and over, no matter what option I select. I am trying to make an application for the Playbook and this this my SpinnerList code:
<s:SpinnerListContainer x="10" y="279" width="325" height="266">
<s:SpinnerList width="69" height="100%" enabled="true" labelField="data" selectedIndex="1" id="From">

View 3 RepliesIt's easy to share bitmap data between multiple Images: // target and source are instances of the mx.controls.Image class var content_copy:Bitmap = new Bitmap((source.content as Bitmap).bitmapData);target.load(content_copy);
But how to do the same thing for movie clips with vector grapics? The only way I've found is to load movie clip using byte data of another movie clip as the source.
target.load(source.content.loaderInfo.bytes); But it actually duplicates the content.
I have a project I am trying to put together that includes closed captioning with a scrollbar (standard flash component). In my navigation file I have a text box with a dynamic text box with _level10.ccText as the Var
I have a series of pages that get called into a level below the navigation file. On each of them I have code in an actions frame _level10.ccText = "text text text text";
The text displays fine in the text box but when I scroll down the scrollbar scrolls down too far. The text gets to the end and the scrollbar is only about halfway down the bar. If I keep pushing the down button or drag the slider it will go all the way down but my text doesn't move. Its almost like there are extra lines somewhere that it is trying to scroll to.
I want to load an XML file and display at random a different line when a button is pressed. I swear I've seen dozens of different ways to do this online already and I've tried to copy them for my purpose
Here is my XML file titled "file"

<xml>

Of course, once I get this working I'll need to output the text in a text box and assign a button press to load a new line.

View 4 RepliesI am trying to figure out the best way for doing spellcheck in flex application. I need a support of multiple languages, like: english, russian and so on. Also, I don't need a realtime spellchecking, only in some particular moment(for example, user click button: "check my text"). I found clientside solution here - flex:SpellCheck , but looks like it able to check only english text. So now I am thinking serverside solution, that recieve a text and needed language, check it(for example with aspell) and returns result. How do you think: is this a good way or I am missing something?

I'm trying to have multiple item renderers in a list, as I have several different types of objects that I want to display. I tried creating a new class that extends ListBase, and adding override public function createItemRenderer with my code within this function. I then instantiate the new class and give it my array of data as its dataProvider, but createItemRenderer is never called within my new class,
View 2 RepliesBasically I want to override some function in the flex/actionscript list class which creates a new ItemRenderer and passes it the required data ready to be displayed. I need to do this because I wish to show a different renderer based on the type of data being displayed. Is there such a function?
I don't really want to pass the list a single itemRenderer which calls its addChild function depending on the type of data it has - It just doesn't seem right.
I am using a listbox and have worked out how to alter the format of the text. However, how do i:make the black lines between each item a different colouralter the height of each item - I thought that by making the font bigger, and the leading this would force the list item deeper - but it didn't work
