I am having trouble searching through a list component and/or dataprovider to see if an item already exists. Basically i am adding items to the list when a item is dragged on to the list. But i want to check to see if an item is already added so not to duplicate items. any ideas would be great.
View 1 RepliesSo I have Html like this [URL] (I want to create some Flash Track reader which will be opensource)
I need to list in my DataGrid Index of all viki pages in form like

This is my XML data in a file named nodesAndStuff.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
<node label="One" />[code].........
Now I have added my tree just below the list and I have saved counting from 10 to 19 in one.xml, 20 to 29 in two.xml and so on in different XML file. I have no clue how to connect the XML containing counting from 10 to 19 as the single node in tree at the selection of label one in list
I have a situation where I have a List showing a queue of Upload Objects:
[Code]...
I would like to create three different views of the List: One showing All uploads in the queue Another showing only the Upload items with Upload.type == "Update" and another showing only the items with Upload.type == "Create". Another example of this would be on an email inbox, where we could filter "All, unread, or read". I realise I could just create three different lists, one for each view of the list (maybe I'm just being picky) but I was wondering: Is there is any easy way to conditionally select the items to display from a DataProvider based on a parameter (for example type =="Upload") so I don't have to juggle three separate ArrayCollections about?
I have a data grid who's data provider is set to an XML object.
Code:
<mx:DataGrid id="streamMonitorGrid" dataProvider="{_data.stream}" height="100%" width="100%">

I am trying to drag and drop hierarchical data in the same advanced data grid, and I would like the data provider to updated when the ADG is updated. (I want to be able to save and load this tree, so it is important that drags and drops are saved.)
[URL]
The sample app has an ADG showing hierarchical data as well as flat data. The first column of each datagrid shows the rowindex of the underlying data.
If you rearrange the items on the left ADG, the row indexes become unordered. If you click traceTree you see that the data provider is not in order.
On the other hand if you do the same on the right, the row numbers stay ordered even when the objects move around and if you click traceFlat, the data provider is in the order shown on ADG
My goal is to have the data provider order match the ADG order for the left grid which is displaying hierarchical data.
I have a radio button group within a data grid, whenever I attempt to change the selected radio button the web page crashes. Below is how I put together the radio button in the data grid.

I want to display the same data in a chart and a data grid. I want to use the same data provider for both of them to reduce the amount of SQL queries.How do I transform the database structure into the chart structure and into the table structure using ActionScript?*
Database structure in JSON format:
[
{key:, year:, value:},
{key:, year:, value:}
]
Data provider structure required by a chart:
[
{series1:, series2:, year:},
{series1:, series2:, year:}
]
Data provider structure required by data grid:
[
{key:, year2000:, year2001:, ...},
{key:, year2000:, year2001:, ...}
]
As i understand datagrid only is used as a form to present the loaded data in.So when we add new row to component or try to modify the value in cell and save it (xml file), we won't see those changes in saved file. So can some one explain to me or direct me to tutorial on how to update data in dataprovider, and how to save it to xml file.
View 2 RepliesI have been trying to populate a tree control via an httpservice that uses php to talk to a database. The queries work fine and the data comes back in the following format from php:
echo "<root>";
echo "<topic>";
echo "<sectioncode>$sectioncode</sectioncode>";
echo "<children>";
echo "<labtitle>$title</labtitle>";
echo "</children>";
echo "</lab>";
echo "</root>";
Flex can see this and interprets the heirarchy fine unless i try to format the resultformat in the httpservce (if i do that it goes a little nuts). The results from the php query to the db come back as an ArrayCollection with each containing a "root->topic->sectioncode->title" type of structure (which is what I want). When I go and try to use this Arraycollection as a dataprovider for a tree control, it doesn't work at all. When I use the arraycollection as the dataprovider I get [object,object] for every row in the tree and there is no parent/child structure.
Ideally I would like the title to be a child of the numbercode, but when i try and format the return from xml like that the number becomes and object without a value and the title becomes a child. I have a feeling that I am missing something in the php return to show the structure to flex more clearly and also something in the tree to implement it as the data provider better. Here is the code that I am using in the tree:
<mx:Tree x="25" y="48" height="451" id="ilabtree" dataProvider="{labarray}" labelField="@title" width="152" textAlign="center"></mx:Tree>
I have a requirement to filter the tree similar to that of flex builder-->preferences wizard tree.
My tree dataprovider is arraycollection of industries. Each industry has a list of sub industries and further, say upto depth 5.
So when we type in a string to filter, only the node having this string along with their parent hierarchy should be returned.
How can we implement this using flex?
I have a datagrid that uses an array of objects as the data provider. The objects are essentially key/value pairs:
{ foo:"something"}
{ bar:"hello"}
{ caca:"lorem"}
The datagrid has 2 columns. The first column is the key and the second column is the value. Right now my grid looks like:
My dataFormatter function makes sure that depending on the column (i.e. the dataField value) the correct key or value gets printed out. This works fine for displaying. However, as soon as I try and edit the value field it essentially adds a new value into the object with a key of '1'. For example, if I edit the {caca:"lorem"} object it will then contain the value {caca:"lorem",1:"new value"}.
Is there any possible way I can set the DataGridColumn so that when I edit a value it will update the value associated with the key rather than inserting a new value? I've tried using a custom item editor but it still does the insert. It seems like I need to be able to update the 'dataField' with the actual key value but I'm not sure how to do that.
I have a tree using an ArrayCollection/Object data provider. The following code worked with an XML data provider but won't work with the non-XML data provider:

When updating the data provider for a menu bar component, the state of the menu items fails to update until the user interacts with the menus (rolls the mouse over them, clicks them, etc). For example, a disabled item remains enabled until the user roll the mouse over it. Is there a way to force a menu 'refresh' after modifying the data provider XML?

View 2 RepliesI have a Flex tree with an ArrayCollection as data provider. The collection holds an array of CategoryVO objects. Each object can have another array of CategoryVO objects inside it's "child" attribute. This way the tree displays the data correctly. Now I want to get the parent of a specific item, e.g. tree.selectedItem. Using XML as data provider the item parent is avaiable thorugh the parent() method. But I can't convert my data to XML. How can I get an item's parent? Perphaps using the tree's dataDescriptor?
View 2 Repliesi get this error when i retrieve an XML that only has 1 node (no repeating nodes) and i try to store in an ArrayCollection. -When I have MORE than 1 "name" nodes...i do NOT get an error. My test show that XMLListCollection does NOT work either.
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "XXXXXX" to mx.collections.ArrayCollection.
this error occurs as the line of code:
myList= e.result.list.name;
Why can't ArrayCollection work with a single node? I'm using this ArrayCollection as a dataprovider for a Component -is there an alternative I can use that will take BOTH single and repeating nodes as well as work as a dataprovider?

private var myList:ArrayCollection= new ArrayCollection();
private function getList(e:Event):void{
var getStudyLoungesService:HTTPService = new HTTPService();

How do I differentiate between a data provider update and a itemrender being recycled when using a custom itemrenderer in a DataGroup?I have overridden the set data function of the custom item renderer, but I have found that on making a change to the ArrayCollection used as the DataProvider some of the item renderers are not assigned the same object they had before the update. This has made it almost impossible for me to distinguish between a data update and an itemrender being recycled. Also, the data never seems to get set to a value = null, so that seems to be out as well.

what i would like to do is create a search field that as the user types in the search bar if there are any matching entries in the list, the focus/selection jumps to that particular item in list. i don't want to clear the list just go to the item that matches.i would like it to be predictive so if i have these entries:and the user types "s" in the search box to the first "s" entry in the list (samson) is selected, if they type "se" the selection jumps to the first entry with "se" in it (seek) if they type "seet" the selection jumps to "seether" and so on.i have absolutely no idea how to do it, but more importantly...is this possible?

My designer provides me lots of MovieClips containing buttons and its states and most of them contain a TLF TextField. Now I do not want to check each MovieClip where a TLF TextField is used. Can I know exactly in which MovieClips and buttons a TLF TextFields has been used so that I can convert them to a classic TextField, or any method to convert all TLF TextFields to classic automatically by the compiler itself?

I'm planning to make a game that gives players the choice to search a word when selecting a character, and if that word is found, they get to play as them. I don't even have a clue what, where and how I am gonna put the list in the game for something to search it. I'll try to give an example:
A user puts "horse" into the input field, presses the "Search" button, and Flash searches the word "horse" in a list of maybe 30 or so words. If it returns no results, a message says, "keyword not found". If it is found, a picture of a horse comes up in the character preview box.
I need to create a search "thing"! I have a database with, for ex., 10 names, with age, color of eyes and hair. I need to create some form were you choose to search for someone between 20-30 years, blue eyes, brown hair, and then the results appear on a list with links to each case... did I made myself clear?
