It is not works! When I see in debugger, child have type "Screen2", but "child is Screen" returns false to me (and "child instanceof Screen" too). When I apply compiler key: "-keep-generated-actionscript" I can see Screen2-generated.as and it's contains public class Screen3 extends screens.Screen

Does MXML get compiled down to as3 and then converted to flash bytecode? Also, is there a significant performance penalty to compiling mxml vs compiling as3?
View 3 RepliesI am working on a custom Flex 4 component which is an aggregation of two existing flex components. I would like to be able to specify my own custom properties for the component as well as access the existing public subcomponent properties via MXML. For instance I might want to adjust the font color or style for the label and text input. toy component which aggregates both a label and a text input:

while trying oop the inheritance and not the composition way I tried two different ways to find out whether an object ( lets say circleclip1 which is a Movieclip in library with an identifier provided )formed from a class (lets say circleDemo)which extends MovieClip is truly an instance of that class.
I use the trace(circleclip1.__proto__==circleDemo.prototype) to check the same it outputs true in the trace window as it should.but when I use the instanceof operator it would return true no matter whichever ancestor I use to check it against the object instance..eg
trace(circleclip1 instanceof circleDemo);// yields "true"
trace(circleclip1 instanceof MovieClip);// checking against Movieclip yields "true"
trace(circleclip1 instanceof Object);// checking against top level Object yields "true"
Now my question is why does this instanceof operator return true for any ancestor up the inheritance chain uptill the top level object.while when I use
trace(circleclip1.__proto__==MovieClip.prototype);// yields "false"
so the verification implies circleclip1 is not directly an instance of MovieClip since it has been subclassed through circleDemo hence the output false.how would I test whether in as3.0 circleclip1 is truly an instance of circleDemo.because instanceof operator keeps yielding the same result as as2.0 and frustratingly enough that __proto__ property of any object is not around any more in as3.0.
I have attached two .zip files of as2.0 and as3.0 version containing the demonstration of the problem queried above respectively, as printing all the lines from those files here in this post would clutter up the area.
A Flex components values are initlized by init methord. In an application flow, How to refresh a mxml component data value ; as init is callled at the start up it self only.
eg. of mxml componet may be as simple as button label or text as complex as repeater whose data provider is a web service ( means a fresh quesy should be made to pull the data and refresh the dataprovider of repeater )
suppose i have 3 buttons(for example say, productin, marketing, sales ) on my main.mxml..once i click on one button it should take me to abc.mxml page with production data, once again if i click on second button it should take me to the same abc.mxml but with marketing data. same as for 3rd button also, how can i achieve this ?
View 2 RepliesMy data is of mixed types like String, Array Collection, Boolean. I have to populate the data into appropriate UI component - for example Boolean to check box, Array to List.

It works perfect.Am using the MultiLineCheckBox in the entire application wherever I want check Box. Now I went into a scenario where I want check Box instead of MultiLineCheckBox.

interface If { ... }
class Impl implements If { ... }
function test(type:Class, obj) {

The call to test on the last line returns false, but it should be true. How can I do this check right, with the requirement that it must be inside the function?
Real code:

I have an issue when consuming a web service from a Flex app. In the backend I have a hierarchy, let's say I have an abstract class Fruit, and 2 implementations: Apple and Orange. Fruit has a property, name, Apple has a property color, and Orange has a property radius. Then, I have a service wich returns a collection of Fruit. When I consume it from Flex, this collection returns objects wich type are Fruit, with its name property; but I lose all the properties for the implementation classes (color nor radius). So, the question is, does Flex support inheritance mapping when using web services? If not, is there any workarround?
View 1 RepliesI've been trying to create a custom mxml component that extends another custom mxml component (i.e.MyMXMLComponent -> BaseMXMLComponent -> Group). I've been reading that trying to add visual children to MyMXMLComponent caused error with Flex 3 but that's no longer the case with Flex 4.
What I want to know is whether this is a supported/fixed/documented feature of Flex 4? or just some undefined behavior in Flex 4 that may get changed with future updates?
if this is supported and documented feature, does anyone have link pointing to adobe document stating it as such?

This is a project I'm working on for a simple demo tutorial application in Flex. I am using mxml pages.

I would like to include an MXML file in my MXML file in the same way you can include an external file in AS3 using the include directive. Using the include directive brings the code from the external file into the original file at compile time placing it in the same scope. For example,

I'm trying to do this using only mxml, no <script> tags, although I don't necessarily need a solution that's only mxml. It was more of an educational exercise to see if I could do it all in mxml. I have a custom component that has a slider and textinput and their value/text properties are bound together. I'm surfacing a few properties of the slider in my component so that it can sort of be treated like a slider.
