I'm trying to provide some default sorting within the OLAPDataGrid component in Flex. There appears to be a dataCompareFunction on OLAPAttribute, but nothing I do seems to actually trigger calls to that method. Any suggestions around using this method or any others to provide sorting of the dimensions on OLAPDataGrid?

I'm using Datagrid to display some data out of a DB. The first field is date, I would it default to sorting on this field with it also having the arrow icon ( as if the user has clicked on the column)

View 1 RepliesHow do you set the default value of skinClass for a custom component in Flex? I've extended the DropDownList with my custom component, but I would like to specify a default skin to go with it instead of always setting the skinClass value for each instance.
View 1 RepliesI'm creating some custom components and backing code. I've created a Flex library project in Flash Builder which compiles to a SWC. The problem is now that all my MXML files get compiled into classes in the default package, making the whole thing a big mess.Is there a way to set a package declaration for MXML files? After all it just gets translated into AS3 classes. This seems to work in regular Flex projects using a namespace declaration so I'm at a loss how that is supposed to work. The other option is building out all the components in AS3 which I'd like to avoid.

View 3 RepliesI have a custom Flash Video Player and I have the play and mute button as controls. Currently my player has the sound on, I want to set it as muted by default.
This should also show my mutebutton as on as a visual cue. The only line of code I am using for the mute button is this
myVideo.muteButton = mute_btn; // which is just telling the flv component which button needs to act as the mute button
Using Flash CS3 , Actionscript 2.0
I got extremely two easy lines of code that I put in my action Frame 1 which fixed everything.
myVideo.volume = 0;
myVideo._uiMgr._isMuted = true;
myVideo is the name of my FLVPlayback component
I'd like to adjust the width of the default ScrollBar that appears inside of a Flash ComboBox. From my research on various forums, it seems like the best approach would be to subclass fl.controls.ScrollBar, which I've tried doing here:
package helpers {
import fl.controls.ScrollBar;
public class CustomScroller extends fl.controls.ScrollBar {
[Code].....
Then, in my library, I've taken the "ScrollBar" movie clip that appears upon initial creation of a ComboBox and changed the base class to "helpers.CustomScroller". I've got three ComboBox instances on the stage; however, none of them are showing anything but the default width, nor am I seeing the output from the trace() statement in my constructor.
I need that when the list appears is shows a selected cell, I tried this but didnīt worked: list.isItemSelected(0)=true;

View 1 RepliesI have a component "child" which has a cancel button. Now this component is placed in a state called "newChildComp" I also have another component called "parent". In the parent component, i have a button that dispatches an event. Here is the event code:
[Code].....
so, basically,i am checking to see if the cancel button component in the Child component, while i am still in the parent Compoent, was clicked, if it was clicked, call the cancelButtonHandler. The problem is by the time the addNewChild handles the event, that cancel button was still null. My question is how do i solve this without using the itemCreationPolicy on the cancel button?
I have several datagrids with changing columns. For the text fields the datagrid's sort function neems to be making a case sensitive compare. eg. the following list sorted would look like this apples strawberries Autos Autos should be with apples but since the capital A is counted differently all capital letters come after. I've found a lot of information on setting a CASEINSENSITIVE flag, but I can't figure out where to do this. The best solution would be one where I can override the default behavior to be case insensitive for all my datagrids and all my compare functions.
View 3 RepliesHere are the strings this array can contain (in the correct order):
'recipients,' 'columnSelector,' 'headerImageLink,' 'title,' 'mainText,' 'text,' 'bodyImage'
Now, to sort them, I obviously don't want to do something like this:
if( a == 'columnSelector' && b == 'headerImageLink' ) return -1;
else if( a == 'columnSelector' && b == 'title' ) return -1;
else if( a == 'columnSelector' && b == 'mainText' ) return -1;
So that brings up an interesting thing. I know you can optimize the above some using something like this:
if( a == 'columnSelector' || a == 'bodyImage' ) return -1;
This would get the last two, but lately I have just wanted community input on issues I have had in the past. So the question is, what is the best way to write a custom sort, using a relatively random order (not alphabetical, etc)?

View 1 RepliesI have a one comboBox that I fill as:
for (var key:String in values) {
conns.addItem(key);
}
After that I sorted my ComboBox as:
private function sortConnection():void {
var dataSortField:SortField = new SortField();
dataSortField.name = "data";
dataSortField.numeric = true;
var numericDataSort:Sort = new Sort();
numericDataSort.fields = [dataSortField];
conns.sort = numericDataSort;
conns.refresh();
}
And on finish I want to select item on my specific value in ComboBox. How can I do that? I try:
for (var ii:Number=0; ii<combo.rowCount; ii++) {
var item:String = combo.getChildAt(ii);
if (item == name) {
index = ii;
}}
But does not work. I do not know where I made mistake, and how I can select on specific item in my combobox.
I have a column with 4 fields named : a> Main, b> Forward c> Back d> Link, if I use pre-defined sorting of datagrid with the column names which will be alphabetically, then the order is c>Back b>Forward d> Link a> Main. But, I do not want to sort based on the alphabets. I prefer to sort by names of the column fields. i.e. somehow give priority to each individual column field names. Like pre-define my own order.
View 2 RepliesIn a Flex webapp, is there an easy way to go about applying a sort to the children of an XML element, based on the children's attributes? Example follows below:
XMLListCollection:
<a anotherProp="ABCDE">
<e prop="AB">1</element>
<e prop="BC">2</element>
</a><a anotherProp="FGEH">
<e prop="HF">3</element>
<e prop="AD">4</element>
<e prop="AC">5</element></a>
I would like to sort the <e> elements, within each <a> element separately, according to their "prop" attribute. My code for generating the array containing the <a> elements is along the lines of:
for each(var node:XML in initialInput:XMLListCollection){
if(node.localName()=="a"){
//I was hoping to be able to sort the <e> children of the node variable here
xmlListCollectionVar.addItem(node);
}}
At the end I would like the <a>'s to remain in their defined order, but their <e> children to be sorted based on the "prop" attribute. So far if I try:
node.children().sort=someSortVar
Where someSortVar has its fields set to:
SortFields("e.@prop",...)
I get an exception about a null value. Any way to convert the children list to XMLListCollection, sort it and integrate it back into the node variable?
I have a Advanced Datagrid with sorting. I think it is string sorting by default. But i need the sorting in number. How can i achieve the number sorting.for example: i have row numbers like 1 to 100 . i need number sorting like 1,10,100.
View 2 RepliesI am using in-built sort functionality provided by AdvancedDatagrid.I have multiple columns and suppose I have 10 rows. All 10 rows have the same data in one column.If I sort on that column, then it sorts and the data in other columns which is different is also being sorted (reshuffled).My requirement is if I am sorting on a column with same data, it should not sort the data in other columns.To understand it better, check the link menioned below URL...In the above link mentioned, if you click on region column, other columns like territory or actual will change the values i.e. the rows gets reshuffled.This should not happen as we are sorting on a column which has same values. Does anybody know how this can be handled in Flex 3 for AdvancedDataGrid.

I have a list which displays votes cast on things in a descending order (=the dataprovider has a sort assigned). The elements have variable height, but there are not so many elements, so i do not need to use a virtual layout
My problem is that this list needs to be updated real-time and i want to make this happen with a nice animation. (e.g. if an item overtakes another by votes, then they swap places.) Anyone knows how to make this animation with Flex 4.5 (spark list)? Do i need to write a custom layout?

I have a DatagridColumn in flex with two names, TYPE and NAME. Now, when I am sorting a datagridcolumn, TYPE, it sorts the type using sortcomparefunction and gives the result which contains grouped and sorted order of elements. Ex. if I sort for type I get elements in pdf, doc, ppt in grouped order, but they are internally not sorted, ex: for the pdf part, I have elements such as:
TYPE NAME
pdf A1.pdf
pdf X2.pdf
pdf B1.pdf
Here the filetypes are sorted, but for a particular filetype, the elements are not, please notice that B1 occurs after X2, which should be sorted. Is there a way I can sort the second datagridcolumn after sorting the first one according to filetype extensions? I am using sortcomparefunction for sorting the elements according to type , which works fine. The signature is:
private function sortTheTypeColumn(itemA:Object, itemB:Object):int
