Flex :: Force All Item Renderers To CommitProperties?

Mar 5, 2010

I have an item renderer that checks an external source for display information. If that information changes, I want to force all item renderer instances to check it.

What's the best way for force all the item renderers in a list or grid to either commitProperties or execute some other method?

I've read that resetting the grid.itemRenderer property will make them all initialize. I've also received the suggestion to iterate recursively through all the grid's children and call invalidateProperties on all the UIComponents I find.

Flex :: Triggering Item Renderers On Hover With DataGrids

Sep 27, 2009

I've got a client who has a list of items on a Datagrid. When the row is clicked, it sends the user to another page with details of that item. The client wants the rows to act like HTML links, where the color is purple when the link has been previously visited and its normal color if the row hasn't been clicked in the past. I've accomplished this with item renderers and SharedObjects. The application loads the visited ids into an array on start and the item renderer colors the individual cells if that row had been visited.

The issue here is that the client also wants the text color in the rows to turn white when the user rolls over the row. Because the item renderer sets the color, it doesn't respond to the default stylesheet for the datagrid. I can make it turn white on rollover of an individual cell, but we need the whole row to do it. Is there a way to trigger a function in all the item renderers in the row, or is there a better way to accomplish this?

Flex - Spark List Reusing The Wrong Item Renderers?

Feb 9, 2010

I have a List component using multiple item renderers determined by the itemRendererFunction. When I set the data the first time, it works as expected. Then, when I set the data a second time with new data, it doesn't call the itemRendererFunction and tries to reuse the current renderers even though they don't match the data.Once I scroll, the function is called and the correct renderers are used. I tried calling invalidateDisplayList and such prior to setting the data, but that didn't fix the problem.

Actionscript 3 :: Implement An Object Pool For Flex Data/Item Renderers

Oct 6, 2010

You can hook into the creation of Flex 4 item renderers easily enough (through itemRenderer, or itemRendererFunction) allowing you to pull renderers from a custom object pool, but how would you put those renderers back into the pool?

I understand that layout virtualization does a form of object pooling, but I'd like a way to hook in to that. For example, when an itemRendererFunction has been assigned to a data group with a virtualized layout, item renderer construction is indeed deferred, but the instances are not re-used - I'd like to be able to intervene there, if possible.

But even in the case of normal virtualized renderers (where the instances are re-cycled) it would still be useful to be able to manage the pool manually. Pools could be shared between data groups, for example, to reduce the initial buffer required to populate each group.

Is there any way to know when Flex discards an item renderer instance? I have a sinking feeling that there is just no reliable way to tell - even though perhaps there should be.

Action Script 3 :: Custom Image Item Renderers?

Jun 25, 2009

I have a custom item renderer which displays a different gif in the row depending on data value from the data object. When i set the image source url using the absolute path and not embedding it works fine however when i embed the images i find that when i scroll up and down the grid the images get messed up and sometimes sit on top of each other. why embedding images in my hbox item renderer is causing so hassle;

Flex :: Force A ComboBox's LabelFunction To Be Called For The Selected Item When Locale Changes?

Flash - Enable Tab Key Navigation On A Datagrid Where The Cells Are Custom Item Renderers?

May 26, 2011

This is a snippet of code in our custom item renderer which is in actionscript:

textCustomItemRendererTempForTab.tabEnabled=true;
textCustomItemRendererTempForTab.focusEnabled=true;
textCustomItemRendererTempForTab.setFocus();
Alert.show( "Without this alert focus goes to next grid " );
keyboardEvent.preventDefault();
keyboardEvent.stopImmediatePropagation();
keyboardEvent.stopPropagation();

Right now tab navigation works (on tab, focus goes to next editable cell) with the alert inserted in the code but I'm not sure why because I believe the alert in the code breaks the flow of event bubbling. However without the alert (which is what we are going for) the focus goes to the next grid in our UI.

You can see the attempts of trying to stop the event from going to other components. I have also tried to call preventDefault() and stopPropagation() on the datagrid when it receives a tab key event.

how to allow proper tab key navigation without an alert?

Flex :: CommitProperties In A Custom Component Doesn't Work With Percent Width

Apr 1, 2011

I'm creating a custom component (based on ComboBox) and overriding some base methods. Recently I've found it acts weird when I set it's width in percents, rather than a fixed width. It tends to continuously call the commitProperties method and fail in the end. When I set it's width to fixed value - all works like a charm. What am I missing to implement? Here's some code ..

override protected function commitProperties():void {
super.commitProperties();
//some stuff ...

I am extending VBox to make a Calendar component. What method should I override to add the code to draw itself? What is the difference between all these methods? Is there something I should be putting in each one, or is there a specific method I can just override, add my drawing code, and have it work?

Flex :: Grid Renderers Updating Without UpdateDisplayList Being Called

Oct 14, 2010

I have an item renderer for a grid that has a fairly basic updateDisplayList function:

override protected function updateDisplayList( w : Number, h : Number ) : void
{
super.updateDisplayList( w, h );
var labelWidth : Number = Math.min( _labelDisplay.measuredWidth, w );

[Code]....

The next time I scroll the renders update to look like they should - but updateDisplayList is NOT called here (on the renderes). All that happens is that the renderers are re-positioned in the grid. Both the background and the label are displayed incorrectly initially so it's not just the label mis-behaving.

Flex :: Error When The Scroller Of The Mx:Tree With Custom Renderers Is Scrolled?

Aug 24, 2010

I have created a custom multiline item renderer for mx:Tree component. Important to mention that my item renderer has two UITextFields in it. Sometimes (depends of the input data) only one of UITextFields must be shown, so when second UITextField is not needed I hide it and recalculate the height of my item renderer. According to my tests height is calculated properly.The problem occures when I do scroll of my tree. The error text is:

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

Flex :: Get List Item Selection Working When Using A Png Mask In An Item Renderer In A 4.5 Mobile App?

Jun 10, 2011

I'm creating a mobile app in which I need to show a calendar with months at the top. The months are part of a component that extends from SkinnableDataContainer (and has some custom scrolling/behaviour - which is why I did'nt use a spark list). I need the months to be shown as a 'trapezium' shaped tab and so I'm using a png image as a mask in the item renderer for the component.

When the mask is not applied, it all works well - the months render, the list/data container selection works when I click on a month and so on.When the mask is applied, it renders well, scrolling and everything else seems to work well - but when I click on a month, nothing happens visually. And from the trace statements in my code, it appears list item selection is not changing. Looks like mouse clicks are not working.

Code:

public class TopCalendarMonthRenderer extends LabelItemRenderer {
[Embed(source="/assets/trapezium_alpha.png")]
private static var TrapeziumMask:Class;
private static var trapeziumMaskInstance:BitmapAsset;

Flex :: Force Redraw On Component?

Jan 10, 2011

I have an app w/ a login screen. When the user hits "enter", the state changes to "login" & a child component is triggered to load (though the child stays invisible at the moment). The child contains many functions that the user needs upon logging in (ie their screenname & settings are retrieved from a database). The following is included in 'Parent':

<local:comp id="localComp" includeIn="login" includeInLayout="false" visible="false"/>
<mx:Button label="login" click="currentState='login'"/>
<mx:Button label="logout" click="currentState='Default'"/>

My problem is when a user logs out (state changes to 'Default') & then logs back in (state changes back to 'login') the child doesn't get "triggered" again & the functions w/in the child don't reload. Is there a way to force my child to refresh?

Note: While it would be easier to just move the child's functions to the parent it is complex...I moved these functions to the child to make it easier to follow

UPDATE: I even tried adding an "exitState" to my state:

<s:State name="login" exitState="removeElement(localComp)" />

This doesn't work either, as I get an error: "RangeError: Index 0 is out of range."

UPDATE: Even though you are allowed to call a child's function from a parent, my problem is that the child needs to be "created" in order to not show errors. It makes no sense to me why the flex team would make something like removing & adding children so complicated.

Flex :: Force A Resize From A Child To A Parent?

Jul 22, 2009

I have a page-like flex application. In my main application is a holder (a canvas) that displays all the pages. The problem is that the components that are loaded inside the holder are bigger than the holder is when the main application starts. The holder height is set to 100% but still he gets scrollbars when I load a bigger component inside of him then himselHow can I solve this problem? And if it isn't solvable would it work correct if I use a viewstack?the holder looks like this:

<mx:canvas height="100%">
</canvas>

But the end of the application is 500 pixels lower so canvas height is 500 pixels high. Now I put a new child inside the holder that is 1000 pixels high.
