Flex :: Binding On Width Property Using Percentages In MXML?

Jun 2, 2010

Is it possible to set a percentage value for the width property of an UIComponent defined in MXML using data binding?

What I try to achieve is something like this (which doesn't work):

<s:Button width="{buttonWidth}%"/>

I know that using percentage for width or height properties in MXML is kind of a hack in the Flex SDK, since they're supposed to accept numerical values only, but since percentWidth and percentHeight aren't available in MXML, I'm pretty stuck =/

I would really like to avoid using code to do such a simple thing, in order to keep my code as clear and readable as posible.

Flex :: Binding - Bind Property Of View To Property Of Class Using MATE?

Jan 9, 2011

Lately i discovered MATE (for Flex development) and was wondering: how do i bind a property in a view (actually a navigatorcontent component) to another property in a class so that they stay in synchronization (meaning that whenever the property in the class changes the property in the view also changes).

So if we have a view called Target.mxml and a property targertProp how do we bind it to the class called SourceClass with property SourceProp?

Actionscript 3 :: Three Way Binding In MXML Custom Component (using Only Mxml)

Jun 22, 2011

I'm trying to do this using only mxml, no <script> tags, although I don't necessarily need a solution that's only mxml. It was more of an educational exercise to see if I could do it all in mxml. I have a custom component that has a slider and textinput and their value/text properties are bound together. I'm surfacing a few properties of the slider in my component so that it can sort of be treated like a slider.

Flex :: Data Binding - How To Adjust ComboBox Width

Sep 15, 2009

In Flex 3, I've created a ComboBox within an MXML component similar to the following:

<mx:ComboBox id="comboBox" dataProvider="{_choices}" />
<mx:Script> <![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
// etc...
public function get choices():ArrayCollection { return _choices; }
[Code] .....

In the parent MXML application, I'm modifying the contents of the choices property:
myComponentId.choices.removeAll();
myComponentId.choices.addItem({data: "NY", label: "New York"});
myComponentId.choices.addItem({data: "CA", label: "California"});
// etc...

The binding is working in that the ComboBox is automatically picking up the new contents added at runtime, however it is not adjusting its width. The initial width of the ComboBox is wide enough only to show the initial item "All" declared in the component. However, I want and would have expected the ComboBox to re-size automatically during binding to be able to show "California", but it isn't. How can I get the ComboBox to update its width after I have added new wider labels to its dataProvider?

Flex :: Binding To An Specific Property Of Objects In An Array?

Jul 22, 2009

I am using Flex to create a small form. All I have at the moment is a List component, that I want to populate with a list of font names.I am getting the fonts using Font.enumerateFonts(true);. This returns an array of flash.text.Font objects.

The Font objects have a fontName property that is a String of that fonts name.My problem is that I can't figure out how to bind the List's dataProvider to the fontName property of each of the Font objects in the Array.Is there a way to do this just with binding? and not creating a new array of Strings by looping through the Font objects?

Flex :: AS3 - Creating Dynamic Property And Then Binding Control To It

May 5, 2010

I am trying to:
1) create a dynamic property
2) bind that property to a label
This works great for "sealed properties", but for dynamic properties there doesn't appear to be any event triggered. Are dynamic properties implicityly not bindable?

var myObj:MyType = new MyType(); // MyType is dynamic
myObj["myDynamicPropertyName"] = "initialized";
BindingUtils.bindProperty(myLabel, "data", myObj, repeatedLabel.name);
// myLabel now displays "initialized"
myObj["myDynamicPropertyName"] = "changed";
// myLabel still displays "initialized", it should say "changed" !!!

Actionscript 3 :: Flex Data Binding Through A Refenced Property?

Jun 8, 2011

class A: with a property "data:ArrayCollection". It's my data source (data provider) and has bitmaps.

class B: has an instance of A (called "Ainst") and calls the following method: C.init( Ainst.data). To pass the data provider to Object C.

class C: has a reference of the data provider "data" (because of "init" method). It shows the arrayCollection into Images as: Image.source = data.getItemAt(0).

But C never updates its images, that is, data binding doesn't work with this scheme. I've put [Bindable] meta-tag in all properties and even classes.

Set Variables In MXML While Avoiding Data Binding?

Jun 2, 2011

I love MXML but am starting to notice some of its drawbacks. The main one I'm struggling with is its larger memory usage due to the need for binding. In the super simple code snippet below, which I've tested on Flex 4.0[code]...

My main question: is there any way to set variables in MXML that doesn't eat up memory? I'm aware that I can do this explicitly in AS and keep MXML as a bare bone structure but was wondering if there was an alternative path.

Secondary question: why memory usage in c different from a and b? I've looked up at the intermediate code and it seems like the const case still sets up some binding logic but not as much and have been wondering why that is.

Flex :: MXML Id Property Naming Conventions / Best Practices

Nov 3, 2010

Since there's so much potential pollution within namespaces, particularly with the parser automatically declaring any MXML component with an id to be publicly-accessible using that ID I'm finding it dangerous to use just camelCase for MXML element ids. eg:

[Code]...

In Flash development, a lot of us did this for (automatically) declared stage instances like "mcMyTabBar" or "navMC" or "playPauseBTN". I'm looking for input from the Flex community about this. Am I just overthinking things? All of the related Style Guides and best practices documents I've read on the topic just say "use camelCase for ids, and make sure the id property is the first property". What's your take?

Flex :: Extending Mxml Component With From Another Mxml Component With Visual Child Supported?

May 18, 2011

I've been trying to create a custom mxml component that extends another custom mxml component (i.e.MyMXMLComponent -> BaseMXMLComponent -> Group). I've been reading that trying to add visual children to MyMXMLComponent caused error with Flex 3 but that's no longer the case with Flex 4.

What I want to know is whether this is a supported/fixed/documented feature of Flex 4? or just some undefined behavior in Flex 4 that may get changed with future updates?

if this is supported and documented feature, does anyone have link pointing to adobe document stating it as such?
