Flex :: Components Property Change Event
Sep 28, 2010
I have a custom component on which I have bound an array collection to one of its proeprties: <comp:MyComp id="comp" prop="{images}" /> images is an arraycollection In the components' code I would like to know which event to listen on everytime images updates props. I tried a setter on props but the setter only gets called once when props is first set. I tried the collection event but I get "Update" events sent on top of 'add' and 'remove' events and I would rather not have to manage those. So is there an event(flex or otherwise) that is fired every time a component property is updated by a bindable property?

How can I enable or disable a group of components in flex (flash builder 4)?
For example, if I have a window with several fields, I want to disable them based on the users permissions.
I know I can add the enabled="true" or "enabled="false", and I can also use enabled="{writeAccessVar}"
However, I am looking for more ideas, as I might have more than one group of fields on the screen, or more complicated user permissions.
For example, I will currently have one field with write access, the other fields on the screen read only for a certain user level.
For a higher level user, all fields are writable. Lower level, all are read-only.

I've got a component called Box.as that has following two properties, and have their getters & setters defined:
private var _busy:Boolean;
private var _errorMessage:String;
In MXML that uses this component I define it like this:
<components:Box skinClass="skins.components.BoxSkin"
busy="{presenter.boxBusy}"
errorMessage="{presenter.boxErrorMessage}"/>
Where presenter variable is defined here in MXML and a Presenter class has boxBusy and boxErrorMessage variables defined as bindable property change events:
[Bindable(event="propertyChange")]
function get boxBusy():Boolean;
function set boxBusy(value:Boolean):void;
[Code]....
PROBLEM is that whenever I change boxErrorMessage for the presenter, I see the affect in MXML but nothing happens at all when I change boxBusy. Is there something extra I need to do with boolean variable?

I am having trouble using a custom event in flex. I need to dispatch an event from inside two nested components and receive it in the main application file. The basic set up is a main application file importing a custom "gallery" component.

With mx:Box I can set the direction to be either "horizontal" or "vertical". I'd like to reverse the order of the components in the box though. For example:
Before:
|button1| |button2| |button3|
After:
|button3| |button2| |button1|
I've created a custom component that lives in a mx:Box and would like to do this in as simplest a way as possible.

Is there a way to write a custom event that gets triggered when the user clicks outside of that custom component instance? Basically anywhere else in the main flex app.

I want to add an event listener to each component inside a repeater, but don't know how. Here's some code I have tried:
<mx:Repeater id="rp" dataProvider="{dataProvider}" width="100%">
<mx:Button id="attach" creationComplete="addListeners(attach[rp.currentIndex])"/>
</mx:Repeater>
This doesn't work. creationComplete is not called until the repeater has finished instead of (as I expected) when the creation of the button is complete. I'm not sure how to accomplish this.
BTW - I also tried placing the creationComplete on the parent component to the repeater, but it would only be called the first time the component was rendered (the data inside the repeater sometimes changes) so that didn't work.

I'm using a component in a cairngorm PopupWrapper. I want to listen to the KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWn event on the component but it doesn't seem to be dispatching it. Is it because it's in PopupWrapper? Is there anyway I can get it to dispatch the event?[code]

I have a component that contains a list that implements a custom renderer. I use this component as a tooltip, keeping one in memory and just altering the databindings as necessary.
Something like this where TTComponent is a class that extends Canvas:
<s:TTComponent>
<s:BorderContainer>
<s:List id='lstItems' dataProvider="{data.Items}" width="50%" borderVisible="false" contentBackgroundColor="#222222">
[Code]....
Now, what happens is when data containing many items is set to tt.data, the list resizes itself larger and displays fine. However, after this, if data containing few items is set to tt.data, the component momentarily displays larger than it needs to be, then resizes itself smaller.
What I'd like to do is have the component resize itself before it displays, so I don't see the resize on screen.

I'm creating a log-in box for my Flex application. However, I'm required to apply a specific design to this box that I have to change the title bar height.
The component I'm using is spark.components.Panel. I just can't find the property of this 'Panel' component to change the feature.

The class 'Button' in package mx.controls has the style 'paddingLeft' and 'paddingRight'. But now I don't want to use this old Halo theme anymore, I'm moving everything to Spark.
However, I can't find these padding styles in spark.components.Button, and the documentation [URL] doesn't show that spark Button has those styles.

I am displaying a combo box in something of a WYSIWYG preview. I want the user to be able to click on the combo box and see the options inside, but I don't want them to be able to change the value. I tried using preventDefault() on the change event but it doesn't work. I don't want to disable it because I do want the user to be able to "look inside" the dropdown.
So I'm trying to block the change, but can't. My next resort is to change the selected index back to what it was before the change, Is there any way to do this within the scope of a ListEvent.CHANGE event listener?
Current Workaround is to basically re-assign the controls selected item the same way I am defining the selected item when I originally build it (a default selection). So a user sees their change then it immediately changes back to the default selection.

I'm re-writing an MXML item renderer in pure AS. A problem I can't seem to get past is how to have each item renderer react to a change on a static property on the item renderer class. In the MXML version, I have the following binding set up on the itemenderer:instanceProperty=callInstanceFunction(ItemRenderer.staticProperty)What would be the equivalent way of setting this up in AS (using BindingUtils, I assume)?PDATE:So I thought the following wasn't working, but it appears as if Flex is suppressing errors thrown in the instanceFunction, making it appear as if the binding itself is bad. indingUtils.bindSetter(instanceFunction, ItemRenderer, "staticProperty");However, when instanceFunction is called, already initialized variables on the given instance are all null, which was the cause of the errors referenced above.

I am working in Flex Builder 3 and I am trying to figure out this error. The error console reads "Access of undefined property EVENT." I am not understanding why this error is showing when I have already imported flash.events.Event. Flex is not recognizing with even the hinting helper pop up that appears when I type the addEventListener(It should appear after the opening parenthesis right? Also, I cleaned the targets and still no luck.

On creation complete my parent component executes an "init" function which simply sets public bindable variables in child components. I'd like the child components to watch these variables and upon being set use them. However, for some reason the ChangeWatcher is not firing with the change of the variable. Below is my code;
Parent Component
private function init():void
{
userInfo.user = new User("Tom");

I am using shared object to share data between two users. First user connect to shared object and set some value in shared object. Please consider that second user has not connected with the shared object yet.Now when second user connects to the server and try to get that property set by first user, he could get shared object but could not get properties of Shared object set by first user. I observed few times that Second user can get these properties within "Sync" event between two users. But I would like to get these values for Second user in any stage (i.e. in load event etc.). Whenever Second user tries to get the property of Shared object, the object will reset the actual property value and then return reset value.
1) Is there any way to get all the properties of shared object before sync event called, as I want to get it immediately when second user connect to the application and perform next task based on the values stored in shared object.
2) Is it possible for second user to check whether any property has been set by first user? So that second user can use the property instead of reset it.

I made a quick search in Google and I couldnt find what I need, basically, I want to set a padding in my combobox component, so the entire combobox (not the items inside) is a little separated from the previous component.
The combobox is contained inside a VBox container, and above there is a label. If I use the padding property, what it does is to decrease the Y position of the text inside, but the component doesn't move at all.

Is there not an event that occurs only when there has been some sort of visual change to an object. So for example if it were a video or animated object it would be firing as often as EnterFrame. However, if it were some sort of input control just sitting there doing nothing visually, then the event wouldn't fire until the visual state changed as a result of some sort of user input for example.
