I have a project that has 4 views where I'm using the tabBar with viewStack/NavigatorContent. I have a couple HTTPServices set up gathering the XML and converting to Bindable ArrayCollections. When and how is the best way to pass that data to such things as charts, dataGrids, etc. that aren't seen until the user clicks a tab? Right now I have each item set up with creationComplete functions that pass it then. Although it seems to be working, is this the best way, or is there something better and maybe even quicker?
View 2 RepliesI have a SplitViewNavigator with two split views. In one of the views I have a list and in another one I have questions. User must solve the question and when user click send button, he will see another question.
But when user click to send button in one view, how can i know this in the other view? I'm a newbie in Flash Builder and I'm searching for this for hours.
I have application with a viewstack witch load 5 modules. each module is loaded via the moduleLoader tag and they all have an id.
Every loaded module has a context menu. the context menu has 5 menuItems. one menuItem for each view for the viewstack.
The context menu is loaded via xml.
this is my application file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute"
backgroundColor="#b1b1b1"

the xml of the context menu is in the module but, the context menu is in a as file that extensiate a button.
how I would pass a value to "SelectedChild" in ViewStack:
In the example below, I am trying to set a public property in a form called "register" after I have navigated there from another form called "login".
The result I get seems to be a compilation error:
Error: Access of possibly undefined property pagename through a reference
with static type mx.core:INavigatorContent.
vsMain.selectedChild.pagename = "register page";

I'm used to building applications using pure AS3. I always pass dependencies into the constructor of classes I make, but this method seems to not work out well for Flex MXML views. It seems like I should define setters on the MXML class, which map to attributes in the tag/class instantiation. But using this method I cannot specify which properties are required and in what order I expect them etc. What is the preferred method to give a Flex view it's dependencies?

I have an HTML/JavaScript Adobe AIR app which needs to be listening for data coming in from an external process.I could have the AIR app itself invoked by the external process. If anyone knows how this could be done in such a way that AIR would then continue to listen for messages/events from the process which invoked it, then I would like to hear about it.Failing that, can I set up some kind of endpoint in AIR itself to accept data through?'ve experimented with a Native Process, and while having AIR launch the process allows it to read data in, the native process itself to be externally accessible, plus it must be able to write to STDOUT for Adobe AIR to receive.

I have an sqlite db in an application and am stuck on how to pass the data that is retrieved from the db into multiple textboxes. I can get the first selection passed into the components just fine, but my problem comes in when I try to pass a second data selection into a different textbox while keeping the data from the previous selection the same in the first textbox.Basically, the user selects a recipe and that recipe is passed into textbox 1 Then another recipe is selected and that recipe is passed into textbox 2. *The recipes are selected from a different view, if that adds anything to the problem. After being selected, the view is returned to where the textboxes are.I'm not looking for someone to code this for me, but rather on how I would do it. I should be able to do that. =)My Text Components

Im a complete beginner in Flex programming. I have an application with a main .mxml file, and a certain class Foo that I call from the .mxml. In Foo, I make a URLRequest and listen for the Complete event. Then I found myself with the returned data in a Foo function, but I have no idea how to communicate it to the .mxml part of the application ! I looked into ArrayCollections but I can't seem to understand how they work. Isn't there a way to modify, from inside the class, a variable with a global scope ?

So, my problem is, how can I implement an interface so my module can send and receive data from my main app?, cuz, I understand that my module implements an interface that is used by my main app.. but, can I do it "viceversa"?
Other issue I have is, why do I need to call my main app children if I can just import a module's class?.

View 2 RepliesI have a Flex application with three different views. Only one view is shown at a time, and the choice of view depends on what part of the application the user is working with. If it had been an ordinary HTML webapp I would have created three different HTML-templates/pages for each view.
What is the recommended way to handle such application views in Flex?
I'd like to make an application for PlayBook (using Flex) that has the UI similar to the PlayBook web browser. By similar I mean I want to implement a menu that is shown when the user swipes down from the top bezel of the tablet. I like this feature because I can draw on it, place tons of other objects and handle all kind of events without using screen space when not needed. Plus the PlayBook does not have a "Menu" button like some phones have.Depending on configurations chosen from the first view a number of other views will be pushed onto the the stack view. When the user will access the pull down menu I'd like to show in form of thumbnail snapshot my main (configuration view) and the rest of the views that are on the view stack. This will basically show the user what is going on in different view and let him choose to which one to switch.[code]The menu is accessible from any view, but the code for event handler is in my main MXML file (project.MXML), I found this to be the only way of having one menu for all the views. I managed to pull down the menu from any view and displaying a thumbnail of the current view.
How to get access to all the views. I've been trying all day and all my trials give me access to the active view and my menu object. Here is some code to show what is going on:[code]As I mentioned above this for loop will successfully do the job for the current view then it will crash.Does anyone know how to loop through all the views? This is my first application with flex so if there are any alternatives to my approach I'll be glad to try them. Although I'd like to stick with a single ViewNavigator as opposed to tabbed navigator and multiple views instead of states.
I have an ArrayCollection bound to a view, I use a filterFunction on this view to only display parts of the contents. Additionally I have another component where I want to display other parts of the ArrayCollection.
What I would like to do is wrap ArrayCollections around each other, meaning I could have one ArrayCollection containing the model data, and then two separate outer ones where I can set the filterFunction property (setting this in the model seems inappropriate in all cases). Is this possible somehow? If not, how else can this be solved, preferably without forcing model logic to end up in my view?
Often multiple instances of the view component would be used in multiple places in an application. Each time I do this, I register the same mediator with a different name. When a notification is dispatched, I attach the name of the mediator to the body of the notification, like so:

How do you define a global variable that is accessible across all views on Flex mobile / Flex 4.5/4.6
(Edited for clarification)
Is it still necessary to have to use a separate global class?
(additional) There is a new PersistanceManager in Flex 4.5, is there something like a GlobalObjectsManager that can be used to just set/get stuff in memory?
