Approach Flex Custom Component For Timeline/chart?
Apr 4, 2011
For my application I need a component (or combination of components) that shows a number of different types of events along a timeline, displays them in different ways as specified and allows you to click/hover along the timeline to add/modify/get details on events.
Basically I want a timeline across the top, always showing a 24hour period, but starting at variable points. I need to have different rows of variable height to display different types of data in different ways. for instance: row 1 will display the 'value' attribute as a circle whose diameter reflects value amount and change color based on a 'typecode' attribute. row 2 will display a line graph and plot chart based on different numbers (like one chart but with the datapoints as larger dots), and will also chart out trend of following or previous data if it exists. behind row 2 will display the same thing but for 5 previous days progressively more transparent

This is NOT duplicate of my earlier post (its is slightly different)But this is similar issue with similar error but its not the same error The error I am getting now is below while dispatching the custom event from my custom component
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert events::MapEvent@a74ab51 to flash.events.MouseEvent.
dispatchEvent(new MapEvent(MapEvent.CLICKED_ON_MAP));
Note: The error in my earlier post is giving below error message
Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::Event@81ecb79 to com.events.ShopEvent
The difference here are two things, the earlier error is while converting flash event to custom event and now this one is while converting custom event to flash event and secondly, I have no clue why it is trying to convert to the mouseevent where I am just dispatching my custom event with proper listeners.
This is my custome event
package events
{
import flash.events.Event;
import ui.map.MapElement;

I am using the standard Flex 3 BubbleChart component and I would like to customize a couple of the grid lines separately from the rest.
I would like to highlight a gridline in the X-direction as well as in the Y-direction to show a quadrant.
Is there any way to customize the look and feel of a subset of gridlines within a Flex chart (i.e. bubble chart)?

I've been working with the flex charting component and I want to embed a custom icon for the marker in the legend. I've run into some strange behaviour where if set directly the icon is mirrored and the text is misaligned but if created using the a class factory and the legendMarkerRenderer property the component renders fine. I've included a snippet to illustrate the problem below. Working around this problem may be possible but I'm curious if anyone has an explanation as to what could be going on here. Additional info: Flex SDK 4.5.0.20967, FlashBuilder 4.5This is the output of the below snippet:
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark">

My company have a web application product for distribution planning and scheduling. An important part of it is a gantt chart component where user can fine tune the schedules. Currently the gantt chart component is pure javascript+dhtml.I am currently looking into the possibility of moving to Flex to get richer interactivity and generally nicer UI.
The question is: is there any good interactive gantt chart component for Flex?By "interactive" I mean that user can interact with the gantt chart and modify data using it, as opposed to just seeing it as part of a reporting use case.

I'm building a top view 2D map, that it's objects are stored on the server.The kind of objects are 10 and might be a photo, label, button, lists, mix of them or labels with tooltips.The component must request the "areas" that are missing on screen.An area is 1000x1000 px and is cached in flex.To move in the map, will be like in google maps (drag-and-drop).I should be able to have another list and move objects from one to another using drag-an-drop on objects. Ex.: I grab an objects from a list and I move it on this map, I release the mouse button and the item is placed there.Now the problem is: I build a custom component for this trying to emulate the item renderer for performance and recyclage, implement drag-and-drop on objects and request the areas that are missing?
or
I extend the List component from spark and I add some features as multiple kind of itemrenderers and use recycle on them. Of course it must be able to request the missing areas on the screen and cache it's data.Maybe create a custom layout is needed too.What I need is something that must be really fluid, so the lighter this component is, the better.
UPDATE: *There will be not any object over another.
*I will not use hitTest on bitmaps because all bitmaps are wrapped in another component,as they,for now are itemrenderers.
Anyway I already begin to do this using a class that extends the SkinnableDataContainer and a custom layout. As the layout is not like a grid, is sparse, random items at diferent points(x, y).How to get the localX and localY, relative to item renderer and not to the Spark List, from a DragEvent in Flex 4?

But I never see the "game clicked: " trace. Does anybody please know why? I'm probably missing something minor, because I can see the "Clicked: 8946" trace.

I have a several chart components that I have created in Flex. Basically I have set up a special UI that allows the user to select which of these charts they want to print. When they press the print button each of the selected charts is created dynamically then added to a container. Then I send this container off to FlexPrintJob.
i.e.
private function prePrint():void
{
var printSelection:Box = new Box();
[Code]....
I have seen some examples on the adobe site that add the container to the application but don't include it in the layout. This looks like the way to go.
i.e.
printSelection.includeInLayout = false;
addChild(printSelection);

The spark panel component for example can be written like this
<Panel title="Skinny">
<child components ... />
<controlBarGroup>
<child control bar components ... />
</controlBarGroup>
[Code]...
The motivation here is that I can now create a couple different skin files to change the look and layout of those subgroups. Reading source of the spark panel, there are some calls within the mx_internal namespace such as getMXMLContent() which is a method of the spark group component, but which I have no access to.
Does the description above make sense? How can I create custom 'contentGroups' in my custom Flex4 component that can use nested mxml child components? Should I approach this a different way?

I'm new to Flex/AS3. I've attached an example line chart below. I want to know if this type of graph can be created using the standard line-series chart available in Flex (Flash Builder 4.6), or whether there's something drawn below that is non-standard and would therefore require some rather involved customization. The key features are:
-Different line styles and colors (dashed, dot-dash, solid, thick, thin, opacity)
-Placement of units (y-axis "seconds" and x-axis "Hz")
-x-axis zoom/pan control bar below graph (move knobs in and out to set x-axis min and max plotted values)
-Log x-axis scale, linear y-axis scale
-Data Tip (or, some call it tool tip, not shown below)
-SI units for x- and y-axis tick labels.
My guess is that everything should be pretty standard to accomplish using Adobe's built-in charting (with the possible exception of item 6, see below). Is that a good assumption?I'm particularly concerned about the x- and y-axis tick labels (item 6). For example, the x-axis tick marks as a number would be:1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, 10000000 but they need to be replaced with SI units, where k=1000, and M=1000000, so the corresponding marks would be (replacing the numbers above with the strings below)"1", "10", "100", "1k", "10k", "1M", "10M".The same goes for the y-axis, where p represents 1e-12, and n represents 1e-9.I can create an algorithm that accepts a number and outputs a string to do the SI unit conversion. But given that, is there a way to easily manage the tick mark labels to replace the default numbers with such strings?

In this case, the 'myButton' component never shows up, but all the elements of the base component do (3 buttons and a datagrid).

I'm trying to prevent a default chart item roll over highlight in a Spark column chart.If you look at any of the chart examples on this page , when you roll over any of the chart series items, they turn a darkened shade of their original colour. This is what I want to prevent.
So far I have had no luck with using the itemRollOverColor property, as this only allows you to set it to one specific colour for the whole chart (my app has several different coloured series on the chart at once). Also, trying to leverage the itemRollOver event (with preventDefault() etc) hasn't worked either.

I'm making a UI for a component in Flash. I wanted to use Flex and have had no luck getting the onUpdate exernalInterface call to fire properly. I'm referencing the functionality described here: [URL]. First off, I can't embed the SWF in the FLA. It just won't start the Flex SWF. Even using the external swf, it seems that the onUpdate function is either called too early or not at all. Here's what I've tried:
Tying the externalInterfce declaration to the initialize, preinitialize, applicationComplete, and creationComplete events. Sub-classing my application and putting the externalInterface in the constructor. Neither of these options work. When I create a basic AS3 project in Eclipse and put the externalInferface in the constructor, it works as expected.

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?

I used a FlexBuilder Library Project to create a custom component library (swc). The custom component is a control bar with text fields and buttons, etc.The vast majority of our team's code is done in pure AS3 I've successfully included my new SWC in the lib and build path in our AS3 project.I've also successfully instatiated an instance of my custom component, but for some reason, it will not display. I know it exists, because 1) the compiler had no complaints, and 2) I can trace property values of the custom component and get valid output from the trace statement.

I am creating a custom component in Flex with extends the BorderContainer class, and I would like to be able to place additional content within the tagset when I use it in my main application, like this:
<components:CustomComponent title="Hello">
<s:Label text="If you have one enter it below:"/>
<mx:Spacer height="15" />
[Code]....
This works just fine, except that my component definition had some additional things inside of it, such as a <s:Label/> and styling, which is replaced by the content within the tagset above when I go to use it.
If I do not put anything within the tagset, the content that was originally in the component is not replaced.
Is there a way that I can simply append additional content inside of the component when I go to use it, instead of it being replaced each time?
