XML Editor UI In Flex?
Apr 27, 2011
I want to create an xml editor UI in flex.Basically I want to present the xml in a textarea.Users can then edit the xml and save it in database.Also,based on logged in user's privilege,the level of editing allowed varies.A normal user can edit the attribute values as well as node values,but not attribute names and node names.
[Code]...
Normal user can only edit id values('1','2','3'),country values('aaaa','aaaa6','aaaa4') and user names('XASD','XASQWED','XASDRQQ').But not node names('users','user') and attribute names('id','country').
I prefer to present the XML to the user as in an editor like interface and restrict editing there,rather than using a grid interface in which attribute names and values are listed in separate columns and enable editing for value column only.

Does anyone have any experience using external actionscript editors? I've given a brief look at SE|PY, but not sure why it's any better than the native editor in Flash.

I've created a custom ItemRenderer extending UIComponent and implementing IListItemRenderer. This renderer contains a Text-Object to display the value.
For editing I'm using the standard ItemEditor (TextInput).
Now, when I want to edit a value, I click on a cell and the editor is created. But instead of displaying the value which was displayed in the renderer, "[object Object]" is displayed.

I'm looking for a simple Flex or JavaScript based image editing component which can be embedded in a web application. It shouldn't be a web service but rather a component that I can download and customize (i18n etc.).I only need some basic features: most important is cropping, optional features would be rotating and adjusting brightness/contrast

I am using a combo-box as a Datagrid ItemEditor (Not just Renderer, my Renderer is a Label, double clicking on a cell makes the combo-box visible, as is the case with all item editors) Now, selecting one of the entries in the combo-box is no problem. But my problem is only when i select the "Fruit", which in turn pops open another layer called "Select Fruit" dialog
Questions: How do i keep item editor, while the focus is on the layer; right now as soon as i click on the fruit, my handler popsup the "Select Fruit" dialog and the focus is on the layer. Once the focus goes out of the editor, the ItemEditor goes away and ItemRenderer label comes back. I want to keep the ItemEditor alive! where do I hook up interms of events like begin/end ItemEdit etc?

I'm trying to intercept the value that is taken from a DataGrid's GridColumn's itemRenderer and applied to the itemEditor, and vice-versa. I need to be able to format this value. However, my project is complex, so I may be focusing on the wrong idea in what I'm trying to accomplish.
I have a Spark DataGrid component (with ID dg) that I am dynamically populating from XML. I create an ArrayCollection from some nodes, and a regular Array from sub-nodes that is added as a property of the ArrayCollection. That ArrayCollection is then used as the dataProvider for the DataGrid.
Here is an example segment of a typical XML node and it's sub-nodes:
<item name="physOrderTable" text="" type="notes">
<cols>
<col id="0" text="Day/Time" />
[Code].....
This is the only method I've been able to use to achieve the desired result. This all works fine, if all I want to do is merely display information. But I need to be able to edit the values in each cell, and apply this back to the dataProvider, as I need to rebuild XML with the updated values later.
I have tried everything I can possibly think of to be able to do this. I built my own itemRenderer, then my own itemEditor, then scrapped them because it felt like I was re-inventing the wheel. But was I? I tried reading through the code for the DataGrid, GridColumn, and related classes, but I couldn't find any reference to the itemEditor beyond it being an IFactory. I have no idea where or how it tells that IFactory to be a text input or whatever it is.
Here is my issue:
When I turn on the DataGrid's editing, and double-click a cell, it takes the entire array of the col dataField for that column's cell, converts that array to a string, and displays the entire string in the edit text box. If I cancel the editing, or save the editing, it sets the string to the .col property. Then the labelFunction tries reading that string as an array, and it crashes. I was able to get the typeof the col dataField and converting it to an array if it's a string, but I shouldn't have to.
I need to have it display just the value of the cell for that particular row and column when the instance of the itemEditor is created. When that value is changed, I need it to apply back to that column's index in the .col array of the dataProvider. So, similarly to how it displays information in the labelFunction, I need to edit the information and send it back.
I've seen lots of custom itemEditors and itemRenderers for GridColumns, but these are hard-coded in the MXML. My grid is almost entirely dynamically created, so that's unfortunately not an option for me, as I won't even know how many columns or rows there will be when the DataGrid is created. I tried using rendererIsEditor, but that only seems to be on the MXML instantiation of the GridColumn, as there's only rendererIsEditable in the ActionScript, and it doesn't seem to work (or I don't know how to use it as intended).

I want a spark datagrid that allow a user to input numbers only. They can only input number with up to 5 decimal places. I am struggling with this in Spark. I can do it in Flex by using the itemEditEnd parameter of the MX DataGrid.
How do I do this is Spark? Any pointers would be great.

We have an image editor in Flex to add text and other changes. Once all the changes are complete, we need to save this to the server.We are using php to save the images by accepting coordinates from flex about what all edits are made for that image. Using this we are editing that image using imagick function in PHP. But the problem is output is different from what we see in flex. The issue is mainly with text alignment in flex editor and in the output we get after editing in php.Is there any other way to do this without making the user to wait for a long time to save the images? Is it possible to get the correct coordinates of text from that flex editor. Our issue is flex is passing the x,y of the container of that text editor. For this reason, test is misaligned in the output.

See: [URL] Somehow I made this happen and I don't know how to undo it. The image linked above shows my Flex Builder session. The largest section of the window is the editor. Initially, there was a blank window on the screen so I tried closing it, but I couldn't. Then I tried dragging it and realized I could drag it into a corner of itself, hence all the nested windows. I have no idea how to close these windows or simply reset the view. I went to the preferences under General > Perspectives, but the "reset" button was disabled for every available perspective.

In this app that has an inline item editor, if you click on a location cell then press tab, the value in the location cell is wiped out.
focusOut doesn't work, nor could I get this to work in DataGrid itemEditEnding etc.

we're developing an app that should be able to open specified file with default editor application. (so if it is .doc - it suppose to be opened by MSWord or openOffice)
But I also need to wait until user will close the editor, check if it was changed (by size and date), and upload it to the server.
So the following steps:
1) find def editor
2) open file
3) wait it be closed
4) do smth after that with the file.
now results of my research:
-> opening by def editor is simple: file.openWithDefaultApplication();
but there is no way to know that editor is closed (maybe by checking that file is not locked in timer???)
-> i can start the native process and pass file as parameter BUT looks like the code NativeApplication.nativeApplication.getDefaultApplication(file.extension); does not work for any extension :( - it doesnt work for "rtf", "doc" but works for "pdf"... and [file.openWithDefaultApplication()] works fine with any file!

My application has a tree with a custom item renderer, which depending on the type of data at a leaf uses different components as editors. In one case I am trying to use a datagrid so that the user can choose a row that meets his needs (several columns need to be displayed), ie. similar in concept to a ComboBox.To do this I have a function assigned to be the handler for 'itemEditBegin' (for the tree) in which I'm dynamically creating the datagrid, and then using the popup manager to display it as a (modal) popup. So far so good.
However, if you click anywhere (eg. scroll down button in the datagrid) the popup disappears because the itemEditEnd event is fired - why ?In another scenario, I have a DateField setup as the editor, and the user can click on the icon to bring up a DateChooser, scroll through the months, etc. I looked at the code behind this, and it is using a popup, seemingly in exactly the same way as my code !Here is the 'itemEditBegin' code:
dataGrid = new DataGrid();
dataGrid.dataProvider = mddTable.dataCollection;
dataGrid.editable = false;
[code]......

issue is that when a user clicks a datagrid cell that has a combobox editor and then immediately clicks away from the cell, the text value in that cell disappears. I have an itemEditEnd handler on the datagrid and it shows the value of the property I use as the editorDataField just fine. But the labelFunction (which gets called after the itemEditEnd handler) on that grid column sees it as zero. Why aren't the labelFunction and item editor playing together nicely? Here is the DataGridColumn:

a datagrid which renders some items. clicking on an item would bring up a popup editor (as the item has lots of properties and may not be edited right in the datagrid).
the popup contains just a form and a [Bindable] reference to the item it edits (which is passed from itemClick handler of the datagrid). form's default values are taken by binding to corresponding item properties with {} notion, while form values are bound back to the item using mx:Binding tags.
and now the problem. when the popup is brought up for the first time, everything is fine. however, when after being closed the popup is brought up again by clicking on the same item, the browser hangs (afaik because of change watchers being endlessly fired resulting in stackoverflow or something similar).
we have same behaviour in Safari, IE and Chrome, so i guess it's not to do with something browser-related. removing either [Bindable] from the item reference in the popup or mx:Binding tags from editors suppresses the problem, but of course the editing no longer works.
here's the code of the popup:
<mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" title="Details"
showCloseButton="true" close="PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);" creationComplete="PopUpManager.centerPopUp(this)">
<mx:Script>

I have a list component and I have an item editor for the items in the list. I would like to have a button that the user clicks once they are done with their changes because I am having them edit multiple pieces of data in the editor and I would also like to validate the data before closing the editor as well. I just don't know what to do on the button's click event to make the item editor close and commit it's changes to the data provider.

I have a data grid with a custom item editor that displays a DropDownList component. When I click the scroll bar in the component, it is firing a focus out event on the list, which is causing itemEditEnd to fire. Why the list is not keeping focus, or how to make it keep focus. I'm using Flex 4.

I am trying to figure out how to open a pop up window in my Air application, in a secondary Window, instead of the main application window.I am using the ReusableFX components, which include a custom DataGrid with filtering and other capabilities. The filtering feature displays a pop up window via PopUpManager when you click on the top of a column in the grid.
PopUpManager.addPopUp(this, FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication as DisplayObject);
The problem is that the pop up window opens in the main application - I am assuming because of the 'topLevelApplication' reference.So, I need a way to open this window in the current Air "s:Window". I am assuming I need a way to walk up : this.parent.parent or this.owner.owner - though I have tried that and it did not seem to work (it said null reference).OR, is there a way to get the current top most window / component (NOT the main application / window)?
Update:I decided to create a new project for the component, and add in the Air libraries. Now I am able to access the "NativeApplication.nativeApplication.activeWindow" call. That gives me the correct Air window. However, it does not seem to be working:
PopUpManager.addPopUp(this, NativeApplication.nativeApplication.activeWindow as DisplayObject);
My popup does not appear. I am assuming because "activeWindow" is not actually a DisplayObject?(so how do I get the DisplayObject if that's the case?)

I recently migrated from CS3 to CS4, and have a question about the "Motion Editor". In principle it sounds fantastic, but I can never get it to work on any of my fla files. The tab is there, but when I select a tween span in any of my files, the Motion Editor continues to say "to edit properties, select a tween span in the timeline or a tweened object in the document."Nothing I do can get the Motion Editor to show anything but this.
Is this because the Motion Editor works only on tweens in new fla files created in CS4? (My existing files were all created in CS3.) Very frustrating, as I would like to use this new feature. I tried to get it to work in a new CS4 file, creating a tween and going to the Motion Editor tab, but.

I'm struggling through trying to learn the new tween system. Is it just me or did they completely NUKE workflow with this new system? Is there any way to copy and paste the property keyframes?I often have animations where things loop, so the last frame of the motion tween needs to be the same as the first frame. In the old days I would just select and copy multiple keyframes from frame 1 and paste them at the end. Done in 5 seconds. The only way I can find to do this now is to hand set every freaking property on every freaking keyframe of every freaking object.

"How do I get the motion editor to show easing controls"?
I've just made my first flash movie in flash cs4 and I wanted to add easing to the (classic) tweens I created. I tried selecting the first graphic, then I tried selecting the (classic) tween span, but each time I go into the motion editor it just says "To edit properties, select a tween span in the timeline or a tweened object in the document".
