View 3 Replieswe have developed a web application by using flex-blazeDS-Java. Now we got a requirement that to print the user existed page whenever he clicks on Print button. I am able to print my flex componets and advanced datagrid but not able to print the custom item renderer images which are rendered in datagrid. And also how to print the multiple pages when I have large data in advanced datagrid.

View 1 RepliesI'm trapping keyboard events on the stage and dispatching custom events through a framework (Mate, though I don't know that this is an important issue), but I'm pretty confused by the scope. The structure is:application (traps keyboard events and dispatches custom event mainPanel (receives dispatched events but mainCalendar (a child element) is null on debugging. Obviously if I try to call a public method on mainCalendar it errors out, even though it's a child of mainPanel. However, mainCalendar is NOT null IF I use FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.mainPanel.mainCalendar. Outerdocument and parentDocument do not expose mainCalendar either, BTW mainCalendar (a custom component inside mainPanel with public methods. Creation policy is 'all' and it's visible and exists long before I trap any keystrokes at the top level)Could someone take a minute and explain why the mainCalendar is out of scope when mainPanel receives a custom event, even though mainCalendar is a child of mainPanel. Is there a better way to manage the events so I don't have to always address the component via the topLevelApplication?

View 2 RepliesI've written the following custom component, SubNavBar.mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" height="100" width="300"
creationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>
[Code]...
Whenever the trace function runs in init(), the property menuItems returns null. I don't seem to have this problem with other variable types, like Boolean or String. Is this due to the size of the XMLListCollection object? How can I set up this SubNavBar custom component with XMLListCollection property and bind it to a control in the component?
I am new to Flex programming. I want to implement a custom toolstrip for an app. This tool strip will include a menu bar (or a customized equivalent) to display the common menu items such as File, Edit, etc as well as a search box. It should be flexible enough to include other menu items such as bookmarks, etc in the future. I have been thinking about mx:Group, s:BorderContainer, mx:HBox, but haven't been able to choose between them. And none of them seem espcially suited to my task as they merely specify layout of other objects. Is there any component which has direct support for such functionality. I have also thought about using mx:MenuBar but I don't know if it will be flexible enough to add non-menu items like search box.

View 2 RepliesI am looking to build a set of components for Flash that our developers can use throughout future projects.The components are not covered by the standard set of Flash UI components and I don;t think I need to really extend the UI Interface. Instead I would like to be able to distribute a library of FLA (non-compiled) components so that a developer/designer can simply drag a component out of the Library and then edit it however they wish.Maintaining the ability to edit components is import, and this would be too limited if it meant creating skins or only changing things programatically.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if anyone knew how to create custom components, like a Window for exemple. Flash's help doesn't really help on that, and the subject is pretty new so Google return nothing relevant.
View 1 RepliesThere are lots of examples of how to create skinnable components in AS3 using the new Spark component architecture, however I've yet to find any such examples using MXML.What I'm mainly referring to is defining the skin parts and skin states. It seems as though the SkinPart metadata is supposed to be associated with properties and as such can't be used in MXML, is this correct?

View 5 RepliesI am working on a grid example in flex using advanced grid control. I know we can easily group data by specifying the field name. At the group node level, other than the gorup name I want to be able to show data in the rest of the cells ( calculated data ) and I am looking for some dataRowBound event or similar to be able to hook some data in it.
Example: Grid displaying list of towns grouped by state. At the group level ( for each state) I want to show the total number of towns in each state. Here how can i show the total number in the town column.

I'm creating some custom components and backing code. I've created a Flex library project in Flash Builder which compiles to a SWC. The problem is now that all my MXML files get compiled into classes in the default package, making the whole thing a big mess.Is there a way to set a package declaration for MXML files? After all it just gets translated into AS3 classes. This seems to work in regular Flex projects using a namespace declaration so I'm at a loss how that is supposed to work. The other option is building out all the components in AS3 which I'd like to avoid.
