Flex :: Binding Component To Class Function

Sep 5, 2009

I have several components where I want to enable buttons based on passing a username to a function. I want to dynamically bind the "enabled" property on a button so that if the "somethingChanged" event fires, a button may become enabled or disabled. But, I'm not sure where to fire the "somethingChanged" event. It's possible that I may need to fire the "somethingChanged" event from several places in the application. Is this possible with a bound static function?

EventManager.as
public class EventManager():void {
[Bindable(event="somethingChanged")]
public static function hasAccess(myVal:String):Boolean {
}}

Actionscript 3 :: Setup Binding Between Locale Class And UI Component?

Oct 5, 2011

how to properly setup binding between my Locale class and an mxml file.

My main mxml file contains:

<mx:Button id="TMP" label="{Locale.getLocaleString('title'}"/>

I would like to display an empty string in the button's label until the locale file loads. Once the locale file loads I would like to display what is returned by getLocaleString('title').

I think that this is what Binding is intended for however I think that I am approaching it wrong.

I know that I am not allowed to bind on a function. So do I need to allow access (using a get function) to my _dictionary property? What is the standard way to setup Binding for something like this?

This is my current Locale class.

public class Locale {
private static var _dictionary:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
public static function loadResources():void {...}

Flex :: Data Binding With A Value Inside A Component ?

Mar 30, 2010

I'm using Flex with Cairngorm framework.I have a custom component which I create like this:

<components:FriendSearchPaginator id="searchResultsPaginator"
paginationElement="{_model.findFriendsPaginationElement}"
visible="{_model.friendsSearchResultsPaginatorVisible}" />

Where the findFriendsPaginationElement is inside the model locator:

public var
[Bindable]
findFriendsPaginationElement:PaginationElement = new PaginationElement();

Inside the custom component I have button that uses a property of findFriendsPaginationElement object:

<s:Button id="previousButton"
label=" prev "
click="paginateSearchResults(false)"
enabled="{_model.findFriendsPaginationElement.more_previous}"/>

But I get a warning from Flex that the binding wouldn't work that way and it doesn't. It works the first time I load up the component but every time I change findFriendsPaginationElement it doesn't reflect on the component. Do you know how I can go about doing this? (making changing a value in the binding variable changes the status of an element inside a component?)

Flex :: Passing Parameter From Main To Component With Data Binding

Aug 22, 2010

I have a main mxml file (flex4) and want to pass a parameter (user_name) to a component in a directory called components. When I run the program, the user_name is NOT being sent from the main to the component file. (Interestingly, if you make the component visible, you can see the parameter has been passed).

I have hacked much larger files down to get the following two files:
Main
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600"

Flex :: Binding - Bind Property Of View To Property Of Class Using MATE?

Jan 9, 2011

Lately i discovered MATE (for Flex development) and was wondering: how do i bind a property in a view (actually a navigatorcontent component) to another property in a class so that they stay in synchronization (meaning that whenever the property in the class changes the property in the view also changes).

So if we have a view called Target.mxml and a property targertProp how do we bind it to the class called SourceClass with property SourceProp?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Binding Scene Instance Name To Class Member?

Nov 28, 2009

I know that one can give a symbol already placed in the scene and instance name and be able to manipulate that object programatically through ActionScript in Frame actions. What I want to do instead, is bind that instance name to a class member so I can use it inside a class file and and eliminate the need for frame scripting.

I am new at this and I'm trying really hard to figure out what the ideal workflow is. I would like to use a fully OOP approach at developing my applications, however I like to use the graphical interface to position assets on the scene because I find it easier than positioning assets programatically. So the solution I am looking for is binding assets to class members. If such a workflow is not possible, what's the best approach in dealing with assets in a fully OOP design?

Flex :: Define A Function In One Component From Another?

Feb 1, 2010

I'm a complete Flex/Flash noob, running Adobe Flash Builder 4 Beta 2. I have a main component that needs to be able to call several popups, each mostly the same except for one function and a few labels. Obviously, I'd prefer to be able to define this function and change those labels when calling the popup instead of having tons of .mxml files with nearly the same code, I just don't know how to do it. I figured out how I can change the labels, but not sure how to redefine the function.For simplicity's sake, let's say my code looks like this:

main.mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Module xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" :s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Use Flex Custom Component In Class

May 27, 2009

Our software team has been developing flash applications using AS3 (via the FlashDevelop IDE and the free Flex SDK). Recently, some members of the team started exploring FlexBuilder and Flex (wow... why did we wait so long?). The problem is that some folks continue to develop using pure Action Script 3 (FlashDevelop) while others are creating custom components in FlexBuilder. How do the AS3 developers use the Flex Custom components built in FlexBuilder in their AS3 Applications?

Actionscript 3 :: Symbol Binding - Each Copy Of The Anonymous Function Gets Bound To A Single Reference To F?

Apr 20, 2011

I'm new to AS3, and can't figure out why this loop isn't behaving the way it "should."

[Code]...

How can I give each anonymous function a reference to each object represented by f, rather than a simple reference to f each time? Specifically, why is it that each copy of the anonymous function gets bound to a single reference to f? How (I should say why) exactly does AS3 differ from JavaScript in this regard?

Flex :: Set The Dimensions Of A Custom Component Defined In A Class?

May 22, 2010

I'm trying to set the height of a vertical bar (activityBar) but it does not appear to do anything. i have tried something similar with the whole component, but setting the dimensions does nothing (even in the mxml used to instantiate the class). Indeed, I've added transparent graphics just to give the component some dimensions

FYI: I'm trying to create a mic activity bar that will respond to the mic by simply setting the height of the activityBar child (which seems to me to be more efficient than redrawing the graphics each time).

package components {
import mx.core.UIComponent;
public class MicActivityBar extends UIComponent {

Actionscript 3 :: Bindable Getter Function Of Singleton Instance Never Being Called In A Data Binding Expression

Oct 26, 2011

I have a singleton class that looks something roughly like this (only with more bindable public properties):

public class Session extends EventDispatcher
{
private var _Id:String;
private static const _instance:Session = new Session( SingletonLock );
private static const SESSID_CHANGED:String = 'SessionIdChanged';

[Code]...

The abnormal behavior I'm discovering is that the event listeners registered through registerOnSessionChange are indeed being called when the session Id changes, but the MXML data binding expression is not updating. I've tried all combinations of dispatching the event during the capture phase, and making it not cancelable, but to no avail. My understanding of [Bindable (event= ...)] is that the MXML should update the url string when the event specified is dispatched, so what am I doing wrong or misunderstanding?

Note: I realize there are lots of different ways of doing the singleton pattern in Actionscript, but unless the way I am doing it is actually causing my problem somehow,

Actionscript 3 :: Three Way Binding In MXML Custom Component (using Only Mxml)

Jun 22, 2011

I'm trying to do this using only mxml, no <script> tags, although I don't necessarily need a solution that's only mxml. It was more of an educational exercise to see if I could do it all in mxml. I have a custom component that has a slider and textinput and their value/text properties are bound together. I'm surfacing a few properties of the slider in my component so that it can sort of be treated like a slider.
