Actionscript :: Flex - Setting ScaleX / Y In Mxml Effect The Components Size

Jan 1, 2010

I'm playing around with the scaleX/Y in the canvas tag and have noticed some strange behaviour. When I set scale in in mxml the width and height of the canvas are adjusted accordingly. For example if I have a canvas like this: <mx:Canvas width="1000" height="1000" scaleX="0.1" scaleY="0.1" />

The canvas now appears on screen to have a width and height of 100 and if inside my creationComplete callback I check the width and height property they are indeed 100. But if I do exactly the same thing except I set the scaleX/Y property from actionscript the canvas on screen appears to have a width and height of 100 as expected, but when I check the width and height property of the canvas they are still at the previous values of 1000.

ActionScript :: Using Flex Components Without Any MXML

I read this Possible to use Flex Framework/Components without using MXML?, Its main as extends spark.components.Application, but still need a mxml file. Its main idea is to rewrite the Application component, and reuse it in mxml file. That is not what I want. I uses Flex SDK 4.1

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flex Components Without MXML?

Nov 1, 2010

I'm working on an AIR project in Flash Builder 4. My question has apparently been asked a lot (according to Google), but I haven't found a satisfactory answer so I'll be very detailed in what I'm looking for:Is there any way to create an AIR project in pure ActionScript that:Is truly object-oriented (i.e. the entry point is an ActionScript class with instance variables and methods)?Can instantiate mx and spark controls without MXML?I was able to accomplish #2 in fairly different ways by following these two sets of instructions (with only a tiny bit of initial MXML):

[URL]

However, neither of those allows me to accomplish #1. If I declare a private member variable outside the entry point function, I get an error from the compiler that the keyword 'private' can only be used in a class.If you like MXML, feel free to post your viewpoint as well. My reservations revolve mostly around these perceived notions:The learning curve of MXML seems steep.The time it will take to become good at MXML will not be worth the investment since its main purpose is to ease GUI development (which I'm already good at anyway).Like I said previously, I don't want to be an "XML programmer". I'd like to maintain the power and flexibility of OOP.

Flex :: Sharing Variables Between MXML Components

May 29, 2010

I have several mxml components in an app, all of which need the same variable called genericX. I've included that variable in the main mxml and made it public
[Bindable] public var genericX:Number = 102;
But I still can't access it from other mxml components. If I try to do this for example, it doesn't recognize the variable.

Actionscript 3 :: Creating Components By MXML Or By SCRIPT/FLEX?

Mar 9, 2012

im trying to figure out what is better for run-time, creating components in MXML or by SCRIPT?. I built an app that recieves data from a server without knowing how much data exactly. In worst case scenerio , ill need 10 LABELS and 2 DATAGROUPS.But i usually need something like 3 LABELS and 1 datagroup. what is better? creating all components in advance and than not include in layout the ones i dont need, or make some checks and then create only the components i need by script? I made some tests , but it wasnt really decisive, run-time was pretty much simillar.Im guessing it must be stated somewhere what is better. Does anyone have an answer for me?

Flex :: Create Skinnable Components In MXML Using Spark Component Architecture?

Flex :: Setting Properites Of Individual Columns In Grid Mxml Tag?

Feb 26, 2010

Is it possible to control the properties of 'advancedgridcolumns' in 'advanceddatagrid' mxml tag. For e.g. suppose the grid data provider has 3 different fields. Out of these 3 fields, one field is 'to_be_decided'. This field should not be displayed initially. Only the remaining 2 columns should be displayed (visible true) and the third column (one with data field as 'to_be_decided', visible flag will be false here ) should be hidden. It will be visible when some event like a button click or something is fired.

We can do this in action script coding by accessing individual columns of grid and taking appropriate actions. But will it be possible to do so in mxml? Is there some default property in grid that can be used here ?In mxml I can not access them individually in the grid (under tag) and hence I can not set the visible attributes individually for each of them. To add them one by one in 'columns' tags I would be required to know the data field in array collection and that I dont know. Only data field known is 'to_be_decided', rest two fields will vary time to time. Therefore even if I addd this one gridcolumn in 'columns' tag what about the other two?

Something like this :

<mx:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumns dataField='to_be_decided' visible=false>

<!-- How to add other 2 columns here ? -->

</mx:columns>

Css :: Setting Different Chart DataTip Styles In Flex Components

Nov 1, 2011

I have a following issue:My task is to style a datatip for two charts in Flex 4.5.Both charts reside in two different <Group> based components which are added to the <Application>

So after a thorough research here is what I tried to do.First applying a css descending selectors:

#container#chart1 chartClasses|DataTip{
backgroundColor:white;
backgroundAlpha:0.01;

[Code]....


Then I would like to be able to get access to the instance of the CustomDataTip class.But I can't .So currently the only thing I can do is to create a distinct custom datatip renderer class for each chart.That could be fine if you have only a couple of charts you want to style but what can we do if we have many of them?

I'm new to Flex and am using TileList bound to an ArrayCollection. The array collection is empty at load time, and then updates with the results from am HTTPService call. The problem is that the item renderers aren't being rendered as expected, I'm guessing because there was no data when they were first rendered at load time. Here's simplified example:
