I have a custom component in a repeater. This component has a child component which can be of two types depending on some conditions. [coed]...
When I place breakpoints in the functions called at creationComplete, I can see that the component assigned to placeHolder is correct but it does not show on my display. I tried refreshing by calling invalidateDisplayList in every place I can think of but it does not seem to work.
I have a Flex repeater that has a complex item template. When a checkbox is clicked, I need to toggle the visibility of a sibling button contained in the same repeater template. Since I can't add binding expressions to event handlers, I can't pass in the repeater item's index.
How can I access sibling components inside a repeater item?
I have a repeater component with custom event. My repeater components fires custom event holding data. My need is to dispatch event so other repeater components can access data from dispatching component.
Edit: Added whole stuff here.

Within a child, I have an XML element with the following structure:[code]I then use a repeater to list each out onto the screen. There's a button I have created that is used to create a position. So, once the user clicks this button, I call the following function:[code]The above function creates a new XML object, puts some default values in, and appends it to the list of project positions. After appending the new information, I made the height of the project larger and then check to make sure the new project height isn't overlapping any other projects... but that information is irrelevant to this post.My problem is this - once i append a new child to the XML variable, it doesn't appear on the screen. Is there a "refresh" or "re-render" option i can do to the repeater in order to make the new child show?[code]Once i make the changes, and use the XMLListCollection as the dataprovider in the repeater, the information no longer loads on the screen.
View 1 RepliesI have a randomly-sized array of items. I'd like to display one label for each item in a Repeater component. I want them to display in a grid layout with 5 columns and as many rows as needed. How do I do that in Flex / ActionScript?
View 2 RepliesI trying to import an XML file, and send bits and pieces to a custom component. My XML file is structured like this:
<projects><project>
<projName>{Insert title of project here}</projName>
<startDate>{Insert date here}</startDate>
<positions>
<daysOffset>{Insert a number here}</daysOffset>
[Code] .....
When I save the project, I do not get any errors or warnings. However, when I attempt to output the values in the component, the projectPositions piece comes back as Null.
I have a repeater that populates a component, called 'project'. The project components are given an ID of 'wholeProject'. In all of my functions up until now, I was able to determine how many project components were made by doing the following:
wholeProject.length;
I used this in for loops, for each loops, and for changing the item settings within a project, i.e. something like this:
wholeProject[i].studentName = "Billy Bob";
However, I'm creating a new function that does not seem to like this wholeProject.length reference. I'm using it within the same level as all the others (i.e. the parent level). So far, my function is simply this:
public function getStudentYears():void
{
Alert.show(String(wholeProject.length));
}
when the application loads, the alert message simply does not appear. If I change the alert to something like this:
Alert.show("This is just a test.");
it works just fine. But for some reason, the wholeProject.length doesn't work in this function whereas it does in all my other ones.
In actionscript, when I click a button I would like the label to replace from "add to list" to "added" without override with super method.
Is this even possible to change label in repeater?
I have a problem when creating a ViewStack, with a repeater along with other components (i.e. vBox) inside the ViewStack. The repeaters get placed at the bottom of the view. Despite the repeater is listed before other components, it is placed at the bottom.Is there a workaround where I can get the repeater drawn before the other components?Here is an example:
<mx:ViewStack id="viewStack" width="100%" height="100%" backgroundColor="#FFFFFF"
backgroundAlpha="1" paddingLeft="5" paddingRight="5" paddingBottom="5">
<mx:Repeater id="editorsRP" dataProvider="{dynamicFields}" [code].....
I have a component "child" which has a cancel button. Now this component is placed in a state called "newChildComp" I also have another component called "parent". In the parent component, i have a button that dispatches an event. Here is the event code:
[Code].....
so, basically,i am checking to see if the cancel button component in the Child component, while i am still in the parent Compoent, was clicked, if it was clicked, call the cancelButtonHandler. The problem is by the time the addNewChild handles the event, that cancel button was still null. My question is how do i solve this without using the itemCreationPolicy on the cancel button?
I've been trying to create a custom mxml component that extends another custom mxml component (i.e.MyMXMLComponent -> BaseMXMLComponent -> Group). I've been reading that trying to add visual children to MyMXMLComponent caused error with Flex 3 but that's no longer the case with Flex 4.
What I want to know is whether this is a supported/fixed/documented feature of Flex 4? or just some undefined behavior in Flex 4 that may get changed with future updates?
if this is supported and documented feature, does anyone have link pointing to adobe document stating it as such?
I've got a whole bunch of data being displayed in different Labels, now I'm adding an edit state. I'd like all the labels to "transform" into TextInputs. I was just wondering if it possible to uses states to change
View 1 RepliesI have been trying all day to find a solution to this, to no avail.. My project has a frame built in flash that loads an external swf via the addChild command. In that external swf, there is an FLV playback component that plays videos on the video tab.

It is not practical. I want the quiz.swf to more modular. So I can pop it in to any course and not have to go back in and add the radiobutton skins to each course.

I need to access topBox's grandchildren and determine whether they're buttons or not. This function belowgrabs topBox's immediate children which are the HBoxes. How do I go one level lower to topBox's grandchildren? Or is the only way to do this is to run this function on each HBox?
for (var i : int =0; i<topBox.numChildren; i++){
var child : DisplayObject = topBox.getChildAt(i);
var myButton:UIComponent = child as UIComponent;

I am injecting two properties (question and answer) to the FaqItem component from an auxiliar file (using BabelFX) that depends on the id of the FaqItem, but it is only working when I choose the second option. If I use the first option, I get a child but with the text in question and answer fields is empty. I need to use the first option.
Are there any way to declare a child component in mxml which is private/protected or even static? Sure we can do this inside a script tag, but are there any other way?
View 2 RepliesHow can I add an MXML component as a child of the main application using ActionScript. It's not possible to instatiate it, is it? Assuming that behind every mxml file stands an actionscrpt3 class, I tried to import it but id didn't show up.
View 1 RepliesI have a public variable set within fx:Script tags in a parent component that I'd like to access directly from a child component. How can I do this? I don't want to pass the variable to the child component (I know how to do this and am currently using this approach). Following is a simplified version of the mxml:
Note: SimpleComp is an HBox with a couple of lists.
<mx:Accordion>
<comp:SimpleComp/>
</mx:Accordion>
Here is an example of a custom component. It is just a box with a title label and a close image (X):

When using the component in an MXML document, I would like to have the "(HEADING TEXT)" replaced with a parameter (should be easy) as well as the "(INSTANCE MXML)" with several labels, text inputs, check boxes, etc. (maybe harder). I have found this script-based method, but I would like a cleaner compile-time solution if one exists.
In a current Flex project, i have an issue where a certain child component must be initialized and ready when the user clicks a button. the button is a mouseClick Event.

I have many buttons in HBox. Instead of disabling each button, I've disabled HBox. But I am able to click buttons even though the HBox is disabled. Disabling parent component will not make difference on its child? it shows like disabled but mouse events will generate.
