Flex :: Overlay Text On AdvancedDataGrid When No Results Returned
Apr 20, 2011
I am trying to overlay a label onto an AdvancedDataGrid when there are no results returned from a call for the data. Here is a mockup of what I am trying to accomplish [URL]. I tried following this previous answer: Drawing an overlay in custom flex component, but this would not work for me because an AdvancedDataGrid is not a Container (and as such does not have a rawChildren property). I would prefer not to need to mess with the data provider, because this table will be used in many location which will have different columns and labelFields.

I guess the best way to explain my issue is to describe it in terms of the hierarchical XML data example on Livedocs.
Here, the XML is of the form
<Region Region="Arizona">
<Territory_Rep Territory_Rep="Barbara Jennings" Actual="38865" Estimate="40000"/>
<Territory_Rep Territory_Rep="Dana Binn" Actual="29885" Estimate="30000"/>
</Region>
However, the data I have is more like:

I have an AdvancedDataGrid with a custom label function whose value can change based on other form status (specifically, there's a drop down to choose the time display format for some columns).Right now, I have this labelFunction:
internal function formatColumnTime(item: Object, column: AdvancedDataGridColumn): String {
var seconds: Number = item[column.dataField];
return timeFormat.selectedItem.labelFunction(seconds);
}
[code]....
... and the timeFormat object is a combo box with items whose labelFunction attributes are formatTimeAsFractions and formatTimeAsInterval.The columns that have time formats have formatColumnTime as their labelFunction value, because extracting the seconds in that function and passing it in to the formatters made for a more testable app (IMHO).
when the timeFormat.selectedItem value changes, I want to force my grid to re-calculate the labels of these colums. What method must I call on it? invalidateProperties() didn't work, so that's out.

I'm trying to export an AdvancedDataGrid to CSV. This is easy enough for non-hierarchical data, but when using a HierarchicalCollectionView to show treed data it gets trickier.
how to access each of the cells just as they appear on screen when all of the nodes are expanded?

In my AdvancedDataGrid, I am adding dynamic values to cells by dragging a cell value to other cells. While copying, I am setting the value to listData and setting the Red color to the value in ItemRenderer. Everything is working fine, but when I scroll down/up, the values remains in the cells where thay are supposed to be(as I am setting to listData) but the coloring behaves wierd(as I am trying to set the color in ItemRenderer).
I don't want to store the color of the value, but I should be able to see the dynamically created values in Red color. Is there a way, I can do this? Do I need to set the color to actual dataprovider object and then check in ItemRenderer?

flash, actionscript, and the class/method/static/instance paradigm. I do have one class that I use, it loads a png file and adds it to the stage, I can then manipulate it with the mouse. What I want to do is add some text on top of the png file. When the user clicks and drags the png file around, I want the text to stick with it, basically make it part of the png, overlay it, combine them, group them, whatever.Here is the class I am using to load the png.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;

I am trying to create some charts in Flex/FlashBuilder 4.5The issue I have it that the information I wish to display is the number of events within an area. I am using HTTP service to access a rails controller which is returning an XML list of the events.I need to figure out how to chart the number of events, eg number of records returned. There is no numeric value within chart, as there would be if I was charting sales or prices for example.

I want to use semi transparent circles to show the intensity of the effect by altering the radius of the circle and animate it while placing them. for example it appears as a dot and then grows to the intended size in fraction of a sec.
I could see some functions in javascript API but not in Flex. Saw some examples that uses polygon. But i dont want to plot all 360 points for just one circle.

How would one create a custom MXML component in flex which is based on an existing component but draws an overlay over this existing component in certain situations.
Ideally, the new component should be based on (derive from) the exiting component so that occurrences of the existing component could just be swapped out with the new one.
I tried to override updateDisplayList() in the new component and to paint the overlay using this.graphics. This resulted in the overlay being drawn underneath the children of the existing component. I also tried to do the drawing upon receiving a render-event which lead to similar results.
When the external condition which should trigger the display of the overlay changes, I call invalidateDisplayList() on my new component. That works to trigger the drawing for both cases described above. The remaining problem seems to be to figure out how to draw on top of all the other components once they are added.
The following example should illustrate what I tried to do; when overlayEnabled was set and the component's invalidateDisplayList() method was called, the red rectangle would get painted in the background.[code]...

I'm using Flex 4 and I need to render the data that resembles HTML Table with row span in a Flex component.My inclination was to use a DataGrid but I believe that rowSpan is not supported for that component. I looked at the AdvancedDataGrid but the user does not want to have a tree-structure in any of the columns. Looking to see if there are any hints/tips for modifying the DataGrid or AdvancedDataGrid to produce an "HTML Table with rowspan" look.

I'm using the data/services in Flash Builder 4 to access the php functions of a site within an Air based Crud, and figuring out the most efficient ways to work with the data objects that come back.
[Code]...
The data comes back as an associative array, which is fine if I want everything from it to be treated the same. But I'm not sure how I am supposed to pull a particular column from the array without having to go through a for loop to parse through it.. since right now the contact name would be at allContacts[i].name.
Basically I want to make a list of the names from the allContacts, so I want an array of allContacts[i].name to set as the data provider for a element. Is there any way to get that done without having to write a for loop to convert it into a new array or writing a new php function?

I have implemented drag and drop between 2 AdvancedDataGrid, but the default behaviour from Flex displays the row data during the drag using the grid item renderer showing all 5 columns.
Instead, I would like to display an icon / image or my own custom item renderer during the drag and drop.

I have a button in my flex app that creates a popup overtop of everything. However, it seems like flex automatically puts this transparent overlay overtop of the stage when this happens. How do I disable this? I have tried contentBackgroundAlpha="0" and backgroundAlpha="0" with no luck. anyone know what the proper syntax is for disabling this transparency? I have been searching through the docs for a 30 minutes now looking for it.

I am developing with Flex + java + hibernate in one project. I am trying to add one more advanceddatagridcolumn in flex AdavanedDataGrid control. Actually it work very well but only except I added columns data. I have no idea what should I do to make it out I am telling work flow. At first call select method in DeliveryService.class through the RemoteObject and then call DeliveryMgr.class for call business work. After get return list type return value it pass to presentation class to setting all of the selected return value. I can print trace log what I added columns data in DeliveryPt.class but it cannot return to flex area.Strange thing is I can check out value of what I want to show data in DeliveryPt.class but it does not show up in AdvanedDataGridColumn of Flex.

after multiple Selection in a advanced datagrid, I want to check if the clicked row, was already selected. Anyway my idea below (in the nested if clause I want to check if the newly clicked item's processing data is already in the added Array Collection) is not working, but I assume there must be a better way to differiante if an click was made on a already selected row.
model.processingData = out;
if (model.selectedIndices.length > 1){
//check if item already added

I would like to add new row on the fly (runtime) to my AdvancedDataGrid.I can add it to the data model, but couldn't find a way to make the table render and show the new row.What i am seeking for is to create an effect of expandable item, where clicking on row will show "additional information" (like a drawer) and clicking on row expand button will reveal it's children.I saw examples of this for dataGrid (http:url...), but not for AdavancedDataGrid.Only way I found to do this is to add a new child and use openItem, but this cause the other children to be visible as well.

I've got a subclass of AdvancedDataGrid showing a tree-like data structure. How can I, given the index returned by calculateDropIndex, get the item at that index? After reading through reams of code, it seems like the least terrible way is:
var oldSelectedIndex:int = this.selectedIndex;
var mouseOverIndex:int = this.calculateDropIndex(event);
this.selectedItem = mouseOverIndex;
var item:* = this.selectedItem;
this.selectedIndex = oldSelectedIndex;
The other option seems to be tinkering around with the iterator property... But, judging by the way I've seen it used, that will get pretty harry pretty quickly too. So, how can I get the item at a particular index in an advanced datagrid without going insane?
