Load data on demand (lazy load data ) for groups in advanced data grid control.When the user expands a node the flex component can make a webservice calla and retrieve data for this group.
ignoring the webservie part, I am trying to figureout how to do the UI part in AdvancedDataGrid ?
I am trying to automatically resize the children within an s:Group. The children are another s:Group and a H:Group. Each have a percentage width of 10% and 90% each. The problem is that when one of the groups is resized (using a transition and rotation combination in the Skin), the other group does not automatically resize to fill the space?
Shouldn't Flex do this automatically? or do I have to code this?
<s:Group
id="listsGroup"
width="100%"
height="255"

I am trying to extend the DataGrid to allow headers for different groups of rows. However, I cannot figure out which method to extend from DataGrid that would allow me to accomplish this. I do not want the headers to be included in the dataProvider, only the rows. I want to specify indexes to insert the headers at using a property of the custom datagrid.
Here is a quick photoshop showing what I am trying to do:
Is there any custom component already built that will do this?
need to load 10 records from database in advanced data grid. After i scroll the advanced data grid. it has to load 11 to 20 records etc.
View 1 RepliesI'm currently working on a project that contains a lot of data, about 14.000 records. This means an xml file of about 3mb. Now my question is: Should I use the xml file to load all the data at once, or should I use a webservice, that provides the data when I need it? Keep in mind that I'm new to webservices. And if I'm going to use a webservice: How do I store the data, in a mySQL database?How fast is a webservice?
View 1 RepliesI have a flex app that takes data from a back end database then displays the content in one of 3 views. These views are all in a viewstack which is instantiated in main.mxml The method to get the data (remote object)is also in main.mxml.
The views rely on the data so how can I go about making sure that the data is loaded first before any of the views in viewstack are created / initialised to stop me having null reference errors?
I want to use an HTTPService to load some data (number of columns and number of rows) which change randomly by a certain frequency I get the string like freq#ncols#nrows#value. How can i display for example: 1000#21#13#2391 that means: in 21 col, 13 row i have the value of 2391 which changes every 1 second.
View 1 RepliesI have generated a service call to a service called ServiceName.getService() - I can successfully pull data displayed inside mxml layout elements, but, instead of displaying it, I just want to assign it to a global.
I always get an error on the second line below - apparently the value has not been fetched yet. I have also tried adding a listener, and setting the global value on COMPLETE, but that is apparently never called. (I am guessing this generated service call stuff does not actually trigger a COMPLETE?)
Short question is: how do you simply assign a variable after you have loaded it via a service data call. (Not just HTTP)
getServiceResult.token=ServiceName.getService();
GlobalVars.variablename = getServiceResult.lastResult.variablename;
I get the below error when i am trying to make a java call from flex.

Im new to placing external data into Flash. I just got CS3 and Im trying to use Flash to dynamically load XML data via a FlashVars call in the HTML.
The problem is I have followed the very straight forward AS2 Help files for using FlashVars and URL variables.I have placed the code directly from the Help file into the Html between
<noscript> <noscript>and i keep getting undefined.I have tried saving the file as flash 8 and i am publish flash 8.
I've messed around a bit in Java and Visual Basic. For our class we've been assigned to make a flash game in groups, and our group has decided they want to do a base defense game. I've been looking hard for open source/tutorial versions of a simple base defense game, but all I've found are tower defense games.
View 1 RepliesI've noticed recently (the last week) that when I open Flash CS4, the Tools panel and the Actions/Timeline/Compiler Errors/Output panel group are not automatically open, like they always were before. Does anyone know of anything I could have changed by accident?
At the same time this started happening, I have a file that has a moving hot spot that is set with keyframes (depending where the active button is on the bitmaped screen capture behind the button). Even though the button's onRelease handlers are advancing the timeline correctly, my button is not in the right place in the runtime version. If's still fine in the development environment. It's like the layers are out of sync with each other.
Is there any open-source algorithm for path-finding that can handle groups of objects? I'm developing a (flash) game like Age of Empires.
I will be using AS3, but I can translate any code or pseudo-code.
can I somehow create logical groups of objects without actually combining them into symbols which would appear in the libraryI was thinking of this approach
ActionScript Code:
var vertFloatGroup:Object = new Object(); // the logical object
vertFloatGroup.addChild(splashPhoto); // splashPhoto is an existing instance on stage
vertFloatGroup.addChild(nav); // same for nav
interact with the group as a whole this above tells me that addChild is not a function...
I've built a simple file to demonstrate what I'm trying to do (it's all dynamic, with AS3, no physical assets). Basically I've created 3 groups of objects via AS3: squares, circles, and triangles. I've placed 3 menu buttons on the side of the stage. I added all objects to the stage just so you can see them. Ideally I'd like to have each button call one of the groups to the stage and begin the tween that is assigned to the object. In this case I've made all the tweens 'alpha' for simplicity. So for example if the '1' button is clicked, it will add the group of squares to the stage and initiate their alpha tweens so that they fade in. Then when the '2' button is clicked, the squares will be removed and the circles will be added and their tweens initiated. I've never seen a tutorial on this so I'm not quite sure how to proceed. What I'd imagined is to group the objects into arrays then add the arrays to the stage with addChild?
I'm using this as a simple model to build a website where I'm going to be calling the content of each section of the site dynamically with menu buttons, instead of using the timeline at all. This is the next step in my actionscript evolution.

We have implemented a Flash photo slideshow on our site and it works just fine for most of our users. Whenever the xml.load(success) returns false I have the Flash email me a debug report. For the life of me I can not find a common thread between all of these people having problems with the Flash. I don't think it's a cross-domain issue because it works for most people, and I have the crossdomain.xml files where they should be.

I have an Access Database (doesn't need to be Access, I can phpAdmin or mysql, whatever will work) that has a list of names. I want the user to open a Flash form and have the names load up into seperate input boxes for each name. The user can then change the names, move them, whatever, and then save the record. I want it to just overwrite the record. I donlt want create a new record. I cannot, for the life of me, figure this out. I have tried to find some tutorials but nothing makes sense. Is ASP a good way to go? I have been struggling with this for a week now.
View 3 RepliesI currently have a Flash app that gets populated by parsing data from an external XML file. However, I need to get the XML data into a (JSP) session and can't neccesarily have an external XML file--any suggestions? Can I put the XML string into a hidden input field in a form on the HTML? Can Flash communicate with that HTML? Or are one of the below methods recommended:
* FlashVars
* Flash Remoting
* Web services
* JavaScript - call JS function
* fscommand
* ExternalInterface
i load in AS3 data into flash and mantain their data type? Like receiving an array and even with arrays in it and recognizing that is an array instead of a standard string.
And if this is possible is it more reliable then using XML?
Using the Radio button component and I have 10 groups of buttons. Each group has a group name of g1, g2, etc for each yes/no button. I want to determine which button was clicked. When I run the code below I only get the first one and then each other button clicked I don't get a trace statement back.
var rbListener:Object = new Object();
rbListener.click = function(evt_obj:Object) {
trace("The selected radio button group name is "+evt_obj.target.groupName);
};
for (rb=1; rb<=10; rb++) {
_root["g"+rb].addEventListener("click",rbListener);
}
I don't know anything about regular expressions and I don't really have the time to study them at the moment.I have a string like this:test (22/22/22)I need to capture the test and the date 22/22/22 in an array. the test string could also be a multiple words string:test test(1) tes-t (22/22/22)should capture test test(1) tes-t and 22/22/22I have no idea how to get started on this. I managed to capture the date string with the parentheses by doing:(.*)but that really doesn't get me anywhere.
View 3 RepliesI've been trying to customize each cell in a ComboBox using a custom CellRenderer class, as instructed on this article. [URL]. However, my problem is I am trying to customize *only* two cells in the dropdown list. And the dropdown is populated by an XML feed so I cannot hardcode which ones to stylize beforehand. In other words, I want to make it look like an HTML dropdown. So, I have been looking for an alternative...maybe a property that I can use or another ComboBox component that can support option groups, like HTML dropdowns.
View 1 RepliesI am working on a website that will show a portfolio of pictures. I would like to have a scrolling bar at the bottom, similar to what I have seen in this thread by rhamej. This would be perfect for my needs, but I need something that I can put into a movie clip or load in my current swf. Also, I need to be able to have the scrollbar images load up galleries.
For instance, , the image scrollbar scrolls through 15 pictures, starteding with a parrot, then a boat, a cat, a dog, lizards, etc.. When you click on the image of a parrot it will load up a larger pic of that parrot, then will slowly cycle through other pics of parrots. I don't need to see every other parrot pic in any other location, only just as it's cycling through them, nor do I need to be able to physically cycle back and forth
A gallery that loads up a cycling view of each subject, and one that i can include into an existing SWF, not a standalone. I've searched high and low, and everything i found will only do one thing or another, not everything.
is there a way to clear an XML object of its data to allow it to load new data from the same URL?

View 1 RepliesI am currently working on a tile based game in Flash, so im working with a two dimensional Array containing the data for the map the player can jump around in. The script is already able to find all the groups within the Array. In the following example Array it groups the left ones and the right using the zero tiles to divide them:
[1,1,0,0],
[1,0,0,1],
[1,0,0,1],
[1,0,1,1]
I am already able to get the corners of the groups, but still they are not in the correct order. As well some corners exist twice.
get the corners in the correct order and how to get rid of the doubles?
I have about 5 layer groups in Photoshop and in each of the groups/folders there are some layers with some text and other layers with isolated images and also layers with some layer styles. When I import this file into Flash I need each of the layer groups to be imported as a flattened bitmap image. I don't want any of the text to be editable or to have any of the layer styles intact. So if there are 5 layer groups in Photoshop, I just need five bitmap images in flash. I've tried doing this but it still imports the layers separately. I know I can flatten the groups in Photoshop but I want to keep this file editable.
