I have created a MyTreeItemrenderer extending TreeItemrenderer.
However, I do not want any label, folder, disclosure icon nor icon. I want to dispaly every node of the tree with my own graphic like eg: a line, round image etc.,
I'm using the tree component for a little Windows Parody I'm making. In my .fla, There's a tree component that loads an external XML file. I can't figure out how to add custom icons to my component, though.I know it's possible to set the icons for just the default folder and file icons, but since it's a Windows Parody, there'll be different icons for different file types, folder types, etc.In other words, I'd like to have a different icon for every item in my Tree component.
Here are the contents of my XML file:
<node>
<node label="Desktop">
</node>
<node label="Documents">
[code]....
Also, I don't need to have an XML file loaded. If there's an easy way that does it all within Flash, please tell me. I just need to be able to handle events from the Tree.
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?
View 1 RepliesI've got a tree component which works great, but I'm trying to add an item at a particular location (immediately after the item they select) into the tree. The problem is that I'm trying to add an item within a branch. I'm using myTree.getDisplayIndex(myNode) to get the position within the tree, but it gives the location relative to the entire list, but I need to get the position relative to the parent (which is what myNode.parentNode.addTreeNodeAt is trying to write to)...
View 2 Repliesis there any way to put scroll of tree component in left side of component or creating a custom scrollbar for tree component
View 13 RepliesI just read a comment at FlexExamples: One thing to note about the tree is that it is really just a list in which items are displayed. What that means is, you can't really drop somthing "into" folder unless the folder is open. Even in that case the user experience isn't quite right. So try moving everything out of one of the folders and then collapse that empty folder. If you drop something "on" the folder, it actually winds up between the target folder and the one below or above. This is indicated by the black line showing up as you move the mouse over the folders. If you "open" the folder (the only way to tell it is open is by the arrow) and then try it, you end up with an additional drop zone that is basically the bottom half of the opened, empty folder. This is also indicated by the black lines position.
It would be better if the middle section of any item could always be the drop zone for "add to this folder" and the top and bottom edges could be for dropping above or below respectively.I've just come to the same problem. Has somebody already managed this problem? In my case, I have dragMoveEnabled in the tree and offer the ability of dragging the tree items. But it is impossible to drag an item into another item that is empty. You can only drop the dragged item above or underneath an empty item.
How can I use multiple item renderers in mx:Tree depending on item's depth/level in tree?For example. For the first level items I want to use label with button and for second level items combobox
View 2 RepliesI'm doing a drag and drop operation on a tree using some help from Adobe's quick Starts:[URL]
The code suggested is roughly this:
var dropTarget:Tree = Tree(evt.currentTarget);
var i:int = dropTarget.calculateDropIndex(evt);
myTree.selectedIndex = i;
[Code].....
EDIT: I forgot to post that my current workaround is setting the selectedIndex = -1 after I get my node:XML. I'm afraid that if something bogs on the processor the user may see it select then deselect.
I have a Tree Control inside my Flex Application which I want to edit on a doubleclick on a tree item. I found the properties doubleClickEnabled="true", doubleClick="startEditMode()", and editable="true". With these functions I can detect a double click and I can change the editable property to true based on a double click. The problem is that after I double clicked on a Item i have to click once more to really enter the edit mode. That doesn't seem to be intuitive at all

I have a XML based Tree Control. The XML Structure is recursive, so the children's can have the same Element as the parent. I now want to let the user add and remove the elements. Do do so I need to get the parent element of the selected Item. Following code I already collected together:
var selected:XML = treeControl.selectedItem;
parent.insertChildAfter(selected:XML, newElement);
I just don't know how to get to the selected parents node as there is no such method like treeControl.selectedItem.parent.
I have a tree control and I want to give the user the ability that he can move up and down the element he just selected with a up and a downbutton. The tree gets generated from XML. I managed to insert the selected item a second time at a other place, with the following code:
var parentXML:XML = XML(containerTree.selectedItem).parent();
var upperItem:XML = topContainer.source[containerTree.selectedIndex-1];
parentXML.insertChildBefore(upperItem,XML(containerTree.selectedItem));
but then I have the item there twice in the List. How can I remove to reinsert it?
my renderer contains a canvas in it, i add some title-window, every time i see my tree previously added Title-Windows are visible, i want to access each n every item in tree and remove previosly added all windows from the rendere. how access all the item renderer in AS3 ?
View 1 RepliesI have an mx:tree with with TreeItemRenderer as below.
Parent1 (Delete | Rename)
Child1
Child2
Parent2 (Delete | Rename)
Child3
Child4
Delete and Rename are link buttons
Now when i click Rename a popUp should be shown like
OldName : Parent1(Text Input showning present Name)
Enter New Name: Parent1NewName(Text Input for entering New name)
OK | CANCEL Buttons
Afetr Entering the new name,click OK,popup should be closed and need to get the value in the treeItemRenderer.
I have the logic to rename the Parent1 in TreeItemRenderer and also I m able to get the Parent1 in the popup OldName TextInput.But after entering the new name i m not able to get that new name in the TreeItemRenderer.
Anyone know how to change a single instance of an item renderer for a Flex tree item at runtime? To reiterate, I'm not trying to change the entire tree's item renderer like this:tree.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(ItemRenderer2);I'm trying to change the item renderer of a single tree item like this (the following code does not work):tree.selectedItem.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(ItemRenderer2);To put it more simply, does anyone know how to reference an instance of an item renderer and set it to a new item renderer class? I've tried using the Tree's itemToItemRenderer() method with no success.

View 1 RepliesI have created a custom item renderer for the tree, i have added some children in create children function, my problem is that sometimes i need to show these children and sometimes i don't, depending on clicking on a button which also i have added at create children, the problem is that i had to create the item even if i don't want it to be visible, and removed it by making visible false, and this costs a lot of memory, i have tried to create it at buttons click listener but when scrolling the child disappears, and it may appear again if i keep scrolling up and down.. i am trying to add the child just when i need it to be visible, is this possible or i have to create it on child creation method?
View 1 RepliesI have a Flex (3.5) Tree with drag & drop support, but the problem is that after I drag an item (node) and drop it, it's supposed to be the selected item in the tree, but for some reason it's not highlighted.
View 1 RepliesI have a component that has a sub-component they both use a shared variable from the model. The shared variable needs to be set by the parent component before it can be used by the child component. I did like this in the parent component:
<mx:Canvas
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
...
creationComplete="group1_completeHandler(event)" >
[Code]....
But for some reason when the code inside myCustomComponent tries to use myVariable for the first time I get a "null" object error. This means I guess that the child component gets rendered before the group1_activateHandler gets called and consequently myVariable gets set.
What should I do to ensure that the parent container initializes the variable before the child component gets created?
just facing a difficulty with tree control drag drop..Suppose i have tree with drag-drop enabled.I want to which node(id) is droped inside which node. 1]if i drag "Cat1" node inside "Cat3",i want to identify ids of siblings of "cat1",and "cat3".2]in general i want to know the ids of current element being moved along withits new parent and new position and save these postions.3] Also "cat4" when moved outside "cat3",i want know its position and its siblings id.

I have a Flex tree with an ArrayCollection as data provider. The collection holds an array of CategoryVO objects. Each object can have another array of CategoryVO objects inside it's "child" attribute. This way the tree displays the data correctly. Now I want to get the parent of a specific item, e.g. tree.selectedItem. Using XML as data provider the item parent is avaiable thorugh the parent() method. But I can't convert my data to XML. How can I get an item's parent? Perphaps using the tree's dataDescriptor?

Beginner Question: I am using the IFrame Component for Flex in Flex 4. The code below works when it is put at the top of the scrolling area. However, if I put it where it below the viewable area it will not render. I am a complete beginner to Flex. The interesting thing is when I resize the window while the HBox is in view, the Iframe will load. But scrolling to it will not. Below is my code. I have made sure everything is visible=true but it seems like I need to add a listener or somehow trick it to think that the window has been resized to get it to render. Anyone with an idea how to fix this?

I am a little confused about the setActualSize method. It appears from what I've read, that if it is not called on a component by its parent, the component will not be rendered. So it appears that setActualSize is a critical method that is directly bound to rendering the UIComponent. It also appears that the width and height properties of UIComponent override the functionality of the width and height properties of flash.display.DisplayObject, in that they are not directly bound to the rendering of the object but are virtual values that are mainly used by the getExplicitOrMeasured when the parent of the component calls the component's setActualSize method. So the question are:

I have an application which displays employee information. If the user opening the detailed employee information page is not authorized to make changes I set the TextInput to disabled. Some users are reporting rendering issues with this. The TextInput's text value does not appear inside the box but is misaligned and is outside of the component. You can see the screenshow below of the disabled ID column where the numbers which are supposed to be in the TextInput box are far off to the right.

I have a Flex Tree component in my app. I set the icons for open and close.
BUT I can't find something about changing the default background-color from white to something different.
obviously there is no background-color setable in css...
How can you find out if a Flex Component (in my case the tree) is scrollable? I tried it like this
if (_listOwner.height < _listOwner.measuredHeight) {
// so stuff
}
from within the tree's item renderer but didn't succeed. Access to the tree's scrollbar is private so that I can't get the info that way.
