View 2 RepliesI would like to provide my own sortItemRenderer within an AdvancedDataGrid like so:
<mx:AdvancedDataGrid sortItemRenderer="MyRenderer"></mx:AdvancedDataGrid>
MyRenderer is a class that I wrote, but Flex doesn't see it and gives "defintion not found" error, because it is not within the mx namespace. What is a clean way to make this to work?
I have a page made of custom components. In that page I have a button. If I click the button I have to call another page (page.mxml consisting of custom components). Then click event handler is written in Action-script, in a separate file. How to make a object of an MXML class, in ActionScript? How to display the object (i.e. the page)?

I'm having a problem that has been really getting to me for the last 12 hours or so and I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I know it's something simple, but I just don't know the correct syntax.

How can i call MXML components inside my ActionScript Class.
// filename.mxml
<mx:Canvas x="181" y="180" width="333">
<mx:Button styleName="LoginButton" id="loginButton" click="checkLogin();" x="160" y="261"/>
<mx:TextInput styleName="loginTextInput" id="username" x="160" y="161"/>

I need to access the username and password fields of MXML in my ActionScript Class.
Is is possible to bind class properties to mxml components ? E.g.: I have a class A.as with a String property nameValue. What I want to achieve is always having the latest value of a mx:Text component in nameValue.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a simple task/calendar tool where tasks can be added dynamically to a canvas. Here is the main application as defined in Main.mxml, which is essentially just a Canvas and a button for adding a task:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
<mx:Canvas id="MainCanvas" borderStyle="solid" width="300" height="300">
[Code].....
The problem is that when I add a Task instance to the Canvas, the children (the button and label) don't appear. I tried setting creationPolicy="all" on both the Canvas and the BorderContainer, but it still didn't work. I've read a bunch of posts about people having issues accessing members of their class before the class is fully loading, but all I want to do is SEE that Label and Button show up inside the BorderContainer.
Is it possible to access a declared component as an IFactory within an MXML class? I've used this style of declaring factories many times for Skin Parts, but I've never figured out how to access those factories from within the MXML.
Here's an example of what I would expect to work:
<fx:Declarations>
<fx:Component id="labelDisplay">
<s:Label fontSize="12" fontWeight="bold"/>

How can I get access to public variables in my main .mxml application from my AS class and vice versa? Also, say I have a main container panel defined in mxml, how can I reference to it's id from a separate class file?
View 1 RepliesI was wondering how I apply an edited actionscript class to a component?
I've made a few changes to the TileLayout class (spark.layout.supportClasses.LayoutBase), but am unable to apply this new layout format to my group in my application... is it treated like a different tag within the layout tag?[code]...
i write a sound playback class that stop the older sound and play the new sound.After that i need an extra method in this class that trigger when the sound play is complete.I successfully achieve this, but i need to inform the main app (main.mxml) about the completion of that sound playing.

I have extended an mxml component with an actionscript class. I'm trying to access a component in the mxml file using the id (in order to add an event listener) but I cant seem to do it.
I get:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I have some components declared in MXML tags, with some properties and event handlers.For some of them there is the need to re-instantiated, so I came up with the following architecture.Array of components that will be re-instanciated at some poin:
<flint:forms>
<fx:Component>
<login:LoginForm loginClick="outerDocument.form_loginClick()" />

With MXML components, I've seen a pattern used where you have an AS3 class, then the MXML subclasses it, to have a separation between view/code (anonymized from real code):
package com.john
{
public class MyComponent extends Canvas
{
[code]...
At least I think the MXML component is subclassing the AS3 class?Anyway is it possible/advised to do this with my main MXML application file, so I can put manager instances and things in the AS3 MyApp class, which is subclassed by Main.MXML?
Does MXML get compiled down to as3 and then converted to flash bytecode? Also, is there a significant performance penalty to compiling mxml vs compiling as3?
View 3 RepliesI am working on a custom Flex 4 component which is an aggregation of two existing flex components. I would like to be able to specify my own custom properties for the component as well as access the existing public subcomponent properties via MXML. For instance I might want to adjust the font color or style for the label and text input. toy component which aggregates both a label and a text input:

View 2 RepliesI've been trying to create a custom mxml component that extends another custom mxml component (i.e.MyMXMLComponent -> BaseMXMLComponent -> Group). I've been reading that trying to add visual children to MyMXMLComponent caused error with Flex 3 but that's no longer the case with Flex 4.
What I want to know is whether this is a supported/fixed/documented feature of Flex 4? or just some undefined behavior in Flex 4 that may get changed with future updates?
if this is supported and documented feature, does anyone have link pointing to adobe document stating it as such?
This is a project I'm working on for a simple demo tutorial application in Flex. I am using mxml pages. You can see to the left that I will have my main application and then other mxml files (In the Examples Package) as the examples that will be loaded into the main application mxml. How can I dynamically pull the value from the object in the list to load the child mxml file into the container that I have further down in the application?

I would like to include an MXML file in my MXML file in the same way you can include an external file in AS3 using the include directive. Using the include directive brings the code from the external file into the original file at compile time placing it in the same scope. For example,

<Application>
<source="external.mxml"/>

View 2 RepliesI am taking over a Flex / MXML project for work. The last programmer lost the original source code so I ran it through a decompiler. In the main MXML file there are 3 lines that return errors. IMPORT COM.TURBO.*I've never heard of this and I can't seem to find anything on it. I assume its some kind of plug-in. Does anyone know what it is?
View 1 RepliesI want to compile one class from MXML to as3 as a learning experience. The class had dependencies on other classes in my project but I don't think that should matter if I am just compiling it to as3 right? Currently I have Flash Builder 4 (in Eclipse) but I would be happy just to use a command line compiler if that exists.
