Flex - Display An ArrayCollection Of Sprites In A List Component?

May 22, 2009

I have an arrayCollection of objects that extend Sprite, and have bitmaps within them. I want to display these in a list (or some other component that would allow a user to scroll through them, and see their associated data.)

When I do: myList.dataProvider = myArrayCollection

the list just shows a bunch of lines of [Object, Item] instead of the visual sprites.

Here is a simplified version of my Object:

public class myUIC extends UIComponent

[Code]...

Tried many different ways to get it to show up in a List, but can't do it.

Flex :: Custom Component Not Updating Display List?

Jul 12, 2011

I've created a component which is basically a meter (extends skinnable container). The skin to the component contains two rectangles (background and the actual meter). This component receives an arraycollection with the following fields value, max and min(the arraycollection I am passing is Bindable). When I initialize and pass the data to be used to draw It works great (keep in mind - only works the first time). I've created a button that changes the data array and shows the current meter value. Apparently the meter's value is changing everytime I modify the ArrayCollection I've set to be used for rendering.(dont want to say "dataProvider" because it is not a Flex dataprovider, just a variable )... here is the code...

public class meter extends SkinnableContainer {
[SkinPart( required = "true" )]
public var meter:spark.primitives.Rect;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamically Add Component - Flex Did Not Reserve Space For List To Display

Jul 21, 2009

Here is part of my code in short:

[Code]....

I realized that if I do addChild, I can't really see the dynamically added component, since flex did not reserve space for my List to display. So I do parentDocument.addChild, and then it appears no problem. My question is since it's being added in the parentDocument, so it is suppose to be a component belong to parentDocument, so is that component still be able to call this handleMouseDown? From my experience, it's still able to, but which doesn't make sense to me. Can someone explain a little about why it can still work, or any better approach other than parentDocument.addChild

Flex :: Why List Not Displaying Data From ArrayCollection

Feb 23, 2011

I'm working on a flash cards application and am using an ArrayCollection of Objects to store each cards individual data. When the user click the 'save' button, the text from the two textAreas and the 'title' textinput are stored in the AC as one object with .title, .side1 and .side2 properties that contain the text from the flash card. I have made a List in a separate class I want to have display the title of each card the user has created, but after days of researching and looking around, I still cannot get the display to list the titles.

Part of my NewCard.mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fx:Script><![CDATA[
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
import spark.effects.SlideViewTransition;

Flex :: LCDS - Expect List<Long>, Get ArrayCollection Of Integer?

Dec 14, 2010

I have a POJO which declares a collection of List<Long>.

We're currently sending an ArrayCollection of Number, and it's arriving at the client as an ArrayCollection, populated with IntegersGiven the issues with Type Erasure & generics I understand how this is happening. How do I fix it?

Unfortunately because of some internal limitations, the model cannot be changed. Ie - we can't use a subtype, and we can't implement IExternalizable.Are there other options for registering custom type converters in LCDS, other than IExternalizable? Alternatively, are there any annotations we can use that indicate the type to be used for a collection?

Flex :: Display ArrayCollection In Group With An Item Render?

Jul 27, 2011

i got an Arraycollection which holds other arrays in it.i want to display the data inside with an item render but cant manage to do this
here is example code to explain my question

<s:DataGroup dataProvider="{news}"
itemRenderer="components.displaynews">

and this is the item render

<s:Label text="{data.??/}"/>

now what i dont understand is what comes after data? in the array collection the data goes like this : myArrayCollection->[0]->firstname

so when im binding data to item render,how do i represent the [x] to get to the specific name that i want? this obviusly wont work

<s:Label text="{data.[0].name/}"/>

and one more thing is what is the lightest way to display data in a listgroup with simple item render (image and text)

private function convertFBEventData2TreeData(eventData:Object):Object
{
var children:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();[code].....

i dont know what to add after data, i tried many things but nothing work :

Flex :: Make A Custom Component Or Extend The List Component For A 2D Top Down View MAP ?

Nov 11, 2010

I'm building a top view 2D map, that it's objects are stored on the server.The kind of objects are 10 and might be a photo, label, button, lists, mix of them or labels with tooltips.The component must request the "areas" that are missing on screen.An area is 1000x1000 px and is cached in flex.To move in the map, will be like in google maps (drag-and-drop).I should be able to have another list and move objects from one to another using drag-an-drop on objects. Ex.: I grab an objects from a list and I move it on this map, I release the mouse button and the item is placed there.Now the problem is: I build a custom component for this trying to emulate the item renderer for performance and recyclage, implement drag-and-drop on objects and request the areas that are missing?

or

I extend the List component from spark and I add some features as multiple kind of itemrenderers and use recycle on them. Of course it must be able to request the missing areas on the screen and cache it's data.Maybe create a custom layout is needed too.What I need is something that must be really fluid, so the lighter this component is, the better.

UPDATE: *There will be not any object over another.

*I will not use hitTest on bitmaps because all bitmaps are wrapped in another component,as they,for now are itemrenderers.

Anyway I already begin to do this using a class that extends the SkinnableDataContainer and a custom layout. As the layout is not like a grid, is sparse, random items at diferent points(x, y).How to get the localX and localY, relative to item renderer and not to the Spark List, from a DragEvent in Flex 4?

Flex :: Why Change In ArrayCollection's Length Doesn't Invoke Setter On Component Using It As Data Source

Dec 15, 2010

I have a component where I expose the property 'questions' with the following code:

private var _questions:ArrayCollection;
private var questionsChanged:Boolean;
[Bindable("questionsChanged")]

[Code]....

In this component, I use commitProperties() to implement my logic.

I use Cairngorm and the 'questions' is in the model and hence it's defined as a source for data binding.

When the 'questions' ArrayCollection's size changes elsewhere in the application, it is not invoking the setter method in the component that is destination for the data binding.

Flex :: Mxml - Components Bound To Empty ArrayCollection At Load Time Don't Render As Expected When The ArrayCollection Is Updated?

I'm new to Flex and am using TileList bound to an ArrayCollection. The array collection is empty at load time, and then updates with the results from am HTTPService call. The problem is that the item renderers aren't being rendered as expected, I'm guessing because there was no data when they were first rendered at load time. Here's simplified example:

Flex :: Hide A List Component When It Contains No Items?

Apr 28, 2010

I have a List of items which is based on the contents of the "category" that a user selects

When the user changes selection, I change the dataProvider of the list be be the contents of the current category.

Sometimes the list contains items, sometimes it does not

Is there a way of hiding the list when it has no items?

I know that I could do this when setting the dataProvider, but it seems like there should be an event or something else that I could be using.

Flex :: Creating A Custom List Component

Jan 10, 2011

I'm trying to extend the mx:Box container so that two buttons sit on the outside of the container to cycle through it's contents (similar to a scrollbar).

I've made a custom component that looks basically
like "mx:HBox->mx:Button mx:Box mx:Button" where the buttons and box are children of the hbox.

How do I offer the user access to the box (say its dataProvider and itemRenderer) through my custom component?

So they just need to write 'local:MyCustomComponent dataProvider="rar" itemRenderer="rar"/>' and my box inside that component can use it?

Actionscript 3 :: Is There A Hierarchical List Component For Flex

Flex :: Display Grid Lines In A List?

May 27, 2011

I am using a spark list control to display certain items with my custom Item Renderer. I am trying to achieve the following: (1) show a separating line between rows in my list control (2) even when not a single row has been added, I want a horizontal grid lines to be displayed in the background

I am not sure whether (1) and (2) can be achieved in one go. I can solve (1) by modifying my item renderer to have a border, I guess. But I want to know whether there is a better or more conventional way.

Flex :: Display List ItemRenderer Index?

Aug 2, 2011

Is there a direct way to get the item index of the data inside an itemRenderer? I need to display the item number against each item. I am currently doing a workaround and won't allow reuse of my itemRenderer component.

var index:int = model.dataColl.getItemIndex(data) + 1;
itemNo = index.toString();

This is what i am using now, it works, but the concepts of component reuse and data abstraction are compromised.

I am using Flex 3.
