Flex :: Why Doesn't Mxml Support Component Constructors

Sep 22, 2011

Why doesn't the Flex framework's mxml language support a constructor for components or accept constructor arguments for components? It's as far as I know not possible to declare an ActionScript object in mxml if it takes constructor arguments. I'm curious about the reason. Is it a design choice by Adobe or related to how declarative languages work? For example, why not allow:

<myNameSpace:MyComponent constructor="{argArray}"/>

Flex :: Extending Mxml Component With From Another Mxml Component With Visual Child Supported?

May 18, 2011

I'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?

Flex :: Modules Over MXML Component Architecture?

Dec 2, 2010

I am actually in the process of Architectural of our project. We have choosen Mate framework. The project is not so quite complex, but what advantages i would get over MXML when i choose Modules.

Main App - > Views - > Events - > Maps - > Services [PHP or Java]

When i come up with Modules based Architecture, it seems to be good but i doubt it should not end up with tight coupling and unwanted issues which may break the head later to solve.

Main APP - > Modules - > Module Interface -> Events - > Maps - > Services
[PHP or Java]

What advantages i do get if i choose Modules over MXML Component? What is the prefered and the best way to Architect an FlexApplication? Since the Application is going to communicate with Backend, do we need to make the frontend more complex?

Flex :: Opening A New Tab And Adding An Mxml Component To It?

Feb 12, 2011

In our flex application we have tabs at the main level and under it we have subview.e.g

Home / Tasks / Admin etc...

In one condition we have to click on a button and open a new tab, on this tab we have to add an existing mxml component and show it in the tab.We are using parsley as the framework. Inside the mxml component test.mxml(that is shown in the tab) i am configuring it with parsley using the tag.Now when i add the instance of this test.mxml i am getting an exception. I am deriving this test.mxml instance using teh parsley context

as

context.getObject(id of component) as DisplayObject and adding it to the tabNavigator...

But i am getting exception when i try to grab an instance of a view using parsley context. How do i get an instance of a view or component that is configure through parsley using the parslye context.Also the problem is occuring becuase of the view injection..because i get a parsley excepiton on startup of the application stating that there is some problem in the context.

Flex :: Use A Base For A Custom MXML Component?

Aug 26, 2011

I'm using several custom MXML components in my Flex 4.5 application.They all use absolute coordinates to place Image, Label, Line, etc. components and are currently based on a spark.components.BorderContainer:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:BorderContainer
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" [code]....

Then I've realized, that I probably don't have to use BorderContainer, because I don't draw/need any borders around my custom components.But I don't know, what to take instead of it.I've tried taking <mx:UIComponent> (and removing <s:Layout> tag above), but then I get the error:

'Image' declaration must be contained within the <Declarations> tag since it does not implement 'mx.core.IUIComponent'.

'Label' declaration must be contained within the <Declarations> tag since it does not implement 'mx.core.IUIComponent'.

Is there some simplest possible spark "container"? And do I need a "container" at all if I use (and want to use) absolute coordinates?

Actionscript 3 :: Three Way Binding In MXML Custom Component (using Only Mxml)

Jun 22, 2011

I'm trying to do this using only mxml, no <script> tags, although I don't necessarily need a solution that's only mxml. It was more of an educational exercise to see if I could do it all in mxml. I have a custom component that has a slider and textinput and their value/text properties are bound together. I'm surfacing a few properties of the slider in my component so that it can sort of be treated like a slider.

Flex :: Listening An Event In Main.mxml While In A Component?

Mar 9, 2011

I have an event, which I have dispatched in my main.mxml:

this.dispatchEvent(evt);

I can listen for it while in my navigation.mxml file, by using

this.parentApplication.addEventListener(UserEvent.USERINFORMATION, onInfo);

But in other component, I can not listen for it, even trying the same as I did in navigation.mxml.

tracing it back gives me an undefined.

the second component is in a viewstack in navigation.
