Flex :: Forcing Vertical Scrollbar Re-calcuation In A Hierarchical Tree Class Derived From Mx.controls?
Jun 28, 2011
I'm working (for my sins) on a Flex 3.3 project, which unfortunately cannot be upgraded to a newer SDK version at this stage, and have hit an issue with the custom hierarchical tree class (subclassing mx.controls.Tree) we're using. Excuse the spelling; the previous developer had a fear of dictionaries...
public class HierachyTree extends Tree
public function HierachyTree()
{[code].....
I'm using a solution somewhere between these two methods (basically, implementing ITreeDataDescriptor) in order to add live text filtering to the component, and it's working so far:
public class HierachyTreeFilteredDataDescriptor implements ITreeDataDescriptor
{
private var filter:Function[code]..........
The issue is that (with tree:HierachyTree) neither tree.maxVerticalScrollPosition nor the protected property tree.verticalScrollBar .maxScrollPosition updates when the search string is changed.I've tried calling invalidateList() and invalidateDisplayList() on tree — and calling invalidateDisplayList() and invalidateSize() on tree.verticalScrollBar — to no avail.

I'm trying to make a Flex Tree Component display the children of a sprite in a hierarchical way. Moreover, dragging the items on the FlexTree would resort and reparent the items. I have special Elements set as Folders. This would allow other elements to be added there as a children by dragging an element on the tree and dropping it there. I have a failed attempt which works, but breaks when I try to add folders. Basically, it fails at reparenting the items by dragging and resorting folders and that Does anyone know of a component or something which can do this, has anyone have created any of this or could anyone give me a clue?

I am using mx:Tree (in Flex 4), and assigned a customised MXTreeItemRenderer for every items. As the TreeItemRenderer contains a list with tileLayout, which means the height of every row is variable. So I have to set the tree's "variableRowHeight to true. When I was testing the tree, everything went well. But when I was using the vertical scroller, I met some problems:
The scroll bar did not move to the position I want. When I was scrolling the content, the scroll bar sometimes scrolled to a unwanted position (e.g. the head of the tree). When there are more rows, the problem is more obvious.When I was scrolling the tree, the images were flicking all the time.

I am currently developing a dynamic LineChart in FLEX 4.I am implementing a Tree control next to my LineChart, which will filter the LineChart dataprovider and lineseries. The tree control has several branches and ultimately 5 children (leaf nodes) at the bottom of the last branch.I need the leaf node/children to be displayed as checkboxes inside the tree control.As I understand,this will require overrides in the TreeItemRenderer class.This is where I am a little confused on how to implement that.Currently I can distinguish between leaf and branches using this code, in my main MXML component.I added this because it may be helpful to some beginning FLEXdevelopers, such as myself, who cannot easily find this functionality documented well:
private function treeClick(e:ListEvent):void {
_selectedItem = Tree(e.currentTarget).selectedItem;
if(mainTree.dataDescriptor.isBranch(_selectedItem)) {[code].....
I am looking at the TreeItemRenderer override class from the following example here: In the example, they override the "createChildden" super function to add checkboxes to the tree control.My question is, can I override the createChildren function directly in my MXML component, and not have to use an entire class file to override this functionality? Must I re-invent the wheel to do this?Also, how can I distinguish that my treeItem is a leaf node and not a parent, in the override function? I only want to add checkboxes to the leaf nodes, how can I differentiate? The following example adds checkboxes to all branches and leaf nodes, but I want to add checkboxes only to leaf node/children. How would you approach that?
override protected function createChildren( ): void
{
super.createChildren( );[code]............
Here is my tree tag:
<mx:Tree id="mainTree" dataProvider="{treeData}" itemRenderer="TreeCheckBoxItemRenderer" labelField="@label" showRoot="false" width="100%" height="100%" itemClick="treeClick(event)" />

Does anyone know of a way to specify different vertical gaps between siblings in a Tree? I want to child nodes spaced tighter together (maybe 10px) while the top level parents remain spaced further apart (20px). Essentially, I need to change the gap dynamically based upon the depth of the node, but I'm not sure if the Tree class (or the List class, which Tree extends) offers this type of functionality.

I have a base class which is being created via remote_object [RemoteClass alias] from the server.I have other specialized classes that are derived from this baseclass, but serialization with the server always happens with the base class.The base class has meta data that defines what the derived class is, for example
[RemoteClass (alias="com.myco...')]
public Class Base

I have a list but want to hide the scrollbar but still keep the functionality. If I put verticalScrollPolicy="off", this disables scrolling via the mousewheel on windows (100% of my users use windows). How can I hide the scrollbar visually but keep the ability to scroll via the keyboard as well as the mousewheel?

I'm trying to create a class that contains an array. However i want to require that the items in the array are themselves of a specific class. Im told there is some sort of tag you can add to do this, but for the life of me i cannot find what it is.What i hope for is something like:
public class myClass{
public var foo:String;
[ArrayType(class="BarClass")]

I'm slightly new to Flash CS3 + AS3 combo, so its more of a lack of practice question. My question stems from the problem described here http:[url].... . Note, its not the same problem, its a new one.The Problem ,So I have multiple library assets (which are on teh stage) and I want to assign similar functionality to all of them.
Attempt 1: So I create the n assets, create a custom class in AS3, link them to Flash CS3 and obviously enough it gives me the error that multiple assets can't be linked to the same class.Obvious enough to understand (well not completely, because from a programmers background it doesn't make sense).
Attempt 2: Same as attempt 1, but instead of linking all the assets to the same class I make the base class the same class, and let the derived class be dynamically created by Flash on compile time.So the linking works, but the problem is, in my base class I have a method which does something (say an tween) on a child of the library asset. So if the assets on the stage/library are called asset1, asset2, asset3 (same name for asset name, class name, id name), each of them has a sub-movieclip called ... say 'foo'. now if I manually wrote a class for each asset, I could do 'this.foo' to play with the sub-movieclip. However since this functionality is in the parent class, I'm unable to do it.
P.S. If you're form a programming/OOP background, its basically a abstract class problem. My Base class knows how to doSomething(), but it needs aSomething, which is defined in the Derived classes. However I found out that AS3 classes don't support virtual(C++ )/abstract (Java) in the true sense of the word (unless I missed some obvious documentation).

why the Event type isn't recognized in a subclass of a class derived from EventDispatcher?Here's the class hierarchy:
public class C extends EventDispatcher implements IC
public class H extends C implements IC
Then in H, I'm trying to create a method:
private function loadXML(evt:Event):void
and I get the error:
- Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Event
When I try to use dispatchEvent(new Event("myEvent")) in a couple of other private methods in H I get the following errors:
-Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Event
-Call to a possibly undefined method dispatchEvent

I'm trying to do a vertical scrolling full screen flash website and for the life of me I can't find a scrollbar tutorial anywhere to make the site scroll in AS3 (when I'm talking about scrolling, I mean getting rid of the native window scrollbar and having flash control it's own custom scrollbar to go up and down through out the site).

I am trying to build a flash project, where I've added a number of Datagrids to a layer and I am using masking to show only a part of the layer. And I have added custom scroll bars to scroll through the layer, so far so good. Now when I am using the scroll bar the layer seems to scroll perfectly fine but the controls on the layer are just static. Is there a way to bind these controls to the layer and scroll the entire layer with the controls. I am new to flash.

I've tried to use the "Simple Custom Scrollbar" tutorial to create a horizontal scrollbar instead of the vertical. I've changed the defenitions like this:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollWidth:Number = scrollTrack._Width;
var contentWidth:Number = contentMain._Width;
[Code]....
I put the "Width" instead of the "height", and "x" instead of "y". What I've got is when I push on the "scrollFace" button it slides but disappears immidietly, and the the image (which is "movieclip" as well) beneath the masked area freezes.
* In addition - I have to make this scrollbar move from right to left - Is there any additional defenitions I must concern?

This is my first time skinning a scrollbar and I ran into a issue. The button I click and hold to scroll up and down changes in size depending on how much content there is. Is there a way to keep the button from changing in size?
For example if my scrollbar button was a smiley face and I didn't want it to stretch.
I am changing my scrollbar components globally by creating an instance of my custom scrollbar and applying it via the style manager in my code.

Here's the example:
var cartesian:CartesianChart = new CartesianChart();
cartesian.width = 100;
var column:ColumnChart = new ColumnChart();
column = cartesian as ColumnChart;
Why does this not work? "column" ends up null. ColumnChart is a derived class of CartesianChart, so I would have thought I'd end up with a ColumnChart with a width of 100.

How can I display the vertical scrollbar in an .fla that is taller than the browser window?'ve created a file that loads thumbs from an .XML file and displays them in rows. You guys taught me how to do that and it works greatThe stage will be larger than a typical browser window and extends below the botom of the users' screen. When I test the file (in the environment) and when I publish it to HTML, no vertical scroll buttons are visible. The thumbs seem to be displayed properly except for the fact that the rows of thumbs go beyond the bottom of the screen and there is no way to scroll down to see all of them.When I publish just the .fla and manually embed it into an HTML page in Dreamweaver, the vertical scrollbar appears and works as expected.

Through researching, i've discovered that the problem with using getDefinitionByName is that the compiler believes that my classes aren't being used, unless they're explicitly referenced in the code, and thus isn't compiling them into the swf.I'm having no luck finding an amicable solution to this problem though. So far the only thing that i've found which works, is explicitly mentioning the name of the class, somewhere in my code. This creates huge problems as it forces me to manually edit an additional part of the code. And really, harcoding anything is horribly sloppy.this isn't an acceptable solution as i'm designing a game with potentially hundreds of weapons, and two classes for each one. I need some way to automate this, and force them to compile.

how can I refresh the displayed data in a Datagrid when the underlying ArrayCollection changes?
<nmoschitz:dataProvider>
<mx:HierarchicalData source="{arrCol_groupedData}"
childrenField="accounts"/>
</nmoschitz:dataProvider>
Calling a simple refresh (like with a simple arraycollection as a dataprovider, or with a refresh on the Grouping Collection) does not work. Also re-assigning the arrayCollection to the Hierarchical Data and then assigning this one again to the Datagrid does not work (even with calling invalidateProperties() or validateNow()).
