View 1 RepliesI 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?
View 1 RepliesHow 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.
Do you know any flex component with the functionality such as horizontally collapsible window or panel I found arc90, but it folds vertically.

Is it bad practice/design to nest components inside components using Flex 4? Should I simply be creating components and inserting them into my main application as below, or doesn't it matter?

I've been searching for the last couple days but can't seem to find a basic example of what I'm looking for. I'm developing a Flex 4.5 app and in it I have a viewstack of 2 components that use some of the same services. Currently the only way I can get the app to correctly use the web services is by defining 2 different web services that use the same PHP web service file. For example: I have an app, and within it I have a viewstack with tab navigation of 2 components: #1) retrieve a list of all Salary Employees, and #2) retrieve a list of all Contractors. Currently to get it working I am defining a UsersTableEmployees webservice within component #1 and a UsersTableContractors webservice within component #2, but they both point to the same PHP class, and only differ in the arugment value I pass to them. Ie, getUsers("employee") and getUsers ("contractors"). Of course this is not best practice.
Searching StackOverflow and Google gives me many results about ColdFusion and MVC (example What's the best way to share data between components in Flex?), but I'm still confused. Can anyone here point me to a basic example (even sample MVC) and source code of an app that uses Zend AMF and allows different components to call common web services?
I want to create a custom component library. the components are customize-able during creation time. means like Accordion or TabNavigator, when we drag and drop the Accordion in flash builder it

<s:NavigatorContent width="100%" height="100%" label="Accordion Pane 1">

View 3 RepliesI'd like to make a series of components into a solid, consistently repeatable object. For example, suppose I have a "notification" template that I want to add to a notifications area every time something new happens. This template includes an icon (Image), text (label), and some space between these two things.
I want to take a template like that and make it so I can invoke it with a function like add_notification("icon", "text"). How would I go about doing that?
What is the right way for integrating a Flash component into a Flex application? I heard that there are different ways of integration between Flash and Flex: using SWF, using SWC (something else?). What are theirs pros and cons? What are the points of communication between them Flash and Flex? `I'm using Flash Builder 4 for developing Flex. And Flash Professional CS 5 for developing Flash.

View 2 RepliesLately i discovered MATE (for Flex development) and was wondering: how do i bind a property in a view (actually a navigatorcontent component) to another property in a class so that they stay in synchronization (meaning that whenever the property in the class changes the property in the view also changes).
So if we have a view called Target.mxml and a property targertProp how do we bind it to the class called SourceClass with property SourceProp?
Can we put [Bindable] on functions/methods? I know that bindable is used to change the value of the source property to destination property. But not sure if we can use that for methods. why we cannot put/ if we can then what will be the outcome?
View 1 RepliesI'm wondering if there is a way I can bind a flex property to flash property?, the flash property is inside a swc file created in flash with the Flex Component Kit for Flash Professional, I can manipulate the flash component as a regular flex component, but I want to bind their properties, is there a way?

so I am trying to drag around some images in a canvas. I am adding eventlisteners to the components and calling startDrag() and stopDrag() to pick them up and stuff:
component.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, component.startDrag)
The problem is that it is selecting the image at its (0,0) location and not where I initially click on it. So there's a sudden "jump" when I click on the image. It is not smooth.
I noticed that startDrag() has two default parameters, one of them is lockCenter and it is default to false. Maybe do I set it equal to true somehow? (I don't know how to pass arguments to my second parameter in addeventlistener)
Another question: if I want to add more conditions to it, like make a new function that uses component.startDrag(), how do I pass the component to this function while adding event listener to it at the same time? for example: I want to do:
component.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, some_other_function);
where some_other_function uses component.startDrag();
I have a component
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I am trying to wrap some text with a component but can not figure out how to align them correctly. Here is what I am looking for:If you have not entered your credentials, enter your credentials by clicking Set Credentials.
The "If you have not entered your credentials, enter your credentials by clicking" is a string.The "Set Credentials" is a button so it can be clicked by the user.I tried putting the string in a textarea which wrapped the text but could not get the button to horizontally align with the text. I also tried adding them both with Tile, then I do not get proper wrapping.
I am using IFrame and adding it dynamically, and it hides a new Alert.show and a previously made TitleWindow.How do I arrange it to go back or to make that Alert or window on top of all ?

View 4 RepliesI'm working with the CoverFlow library by Doug McCune.
In the example included, he has created some panels inside a CoverFlowContainer. There are other examples of him populating the coverflow from an RSS feed on the page linked above but he doesn't include the source for these :(
I will eventually be retrieving data from a web service to add to the coverflow however I'm starting with this simple example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" xmlns:containers="com.dougmccune.containers.*" creationComplete="init()">
[Code]....
I've defined some panels in the mxml and set creationComplete=init() so that the new panel I've created in ActionScript will be added to the CoverFlow container.
When I launch the application it displays the two predefined panels but not the one I have created in ActionScript.
I have a Flex application that I'm working on for a new job. It's sort of a training wheels application -- I'm learning the language, and this isn't an app that needs to talk to a service in order to do its job. There are a few instances of combo boxes throughout the application that share the same set of possible values (say, a selection of states: "In Progress", "Rejected", "Complete") that I want to have use the same data source.
What is the best way to manage this?
When we are building a application in Flex the components that we add are in English. Lets say that i want to change then to French, Spanish or Portuguese. How could i do that?? I've google a bit about it, but nothing good. I didn't look too much, because you guys always now things, and here in SO its more faster to ask than search for it : I think i didn't expressed my self correctly.

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:

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.
