Suppose I have the following XML:var foo:XML = <root><a>this is a <b>special</b> case</a></root>
Is there any way to detect the position of <b> relative to the contents of <a> without a custom subparser?

I'm a Flex noob and I've been struggling with this problem for a last week, and I'm at my wits end.
I have opened the following XML file

I would be so incredibly grateful if someone could help. I am pulling out my hair!
What is the role of source for an ArrayCollection or XMLListCollection? Is it used just once - when constructing a new ArrayCollection or XMLListCollection object and is it copied to some internal data structure of that object?
Because nothing is updated when the source Array (or XMLList) is being modified and the documentation confirms it too: The underlying XMLList for this collection. The XMLListCollection object does not represent any changes that you make directly to the source XMLList object. Always use the XMLListCollection methods to modify the collection.
This property can be used as the source for data binding. When this property is modified, it dispatches the listChanged event.
I'm asking because Flex examples related to dataProviders always use some Array or XMLList as source of data for a data-driven component. And I wonder, if using Array or XMLList is necessary at all - when for example loading data from external PHP-script.
When the XMLListCollection is updated in the DataGrid, I want it to add the XML (bind it) into the Model. How would I do this? Or if not possible, how would I manually add XML into the Model?
This is a rough example of what I'm trying to do. Adding data to the DataGrid works fine; it just doesn't go into the Model when sending to the HTTPService.
<mx:Model id="model">
<root><colors>{collection}</colors></root>
</mx:Model>
<mx:XMLListCollection id="collection" />

I am trying to display content of xmllistcollection in different fields in my datagrid however unless I use an itemrenderer the value is not displaying in the grid. The xmllistcollection is populated from a webservice call. Inside my item renderer i use a custom namesspace to retrieve contents from the xmllistcollection
value.ns::firstName
However if I try something like
dataField = "ns::firstName"
In the datagrid without using an item renderer I get no data output.
Is there anyway of type casting an ArrayCollection to xmllistcollection or to xmllist or can we covert ArrayCollection to xmllistcollection or to xmllist?
View 1 RepliesI've written the following custom component, SubNavBar.mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" height="100" width="300"
creationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>
[Code]...
Whenever the trace function runs in init(), the property menuItems returns null. I don't seem to have this problem with other variable types, like Boolean or String. Is this due to the size of the XMLListCollection object? How can I set up this SubNavBar custom component with XMLListCollection property and bind it to a control in the component?
(I'm using Cairngorm)I have a combobox that displays items form an XMLListCollection that's in my model.I want to only view the items (XML) whose "sent" properties is false.. like item.sent == 'false'.This filter must apply only to this specific combobox, not everything that's bound to the XMLListCollection source.And of course it must update and refresh the filter if the source changes..I'm trying to use filterFunction but don't understand how it works...
View 1 RepliesWhen I get a collection back from the service tier, I create an ArrayCollection and apply a sort. When I add an item to the collection later on, the sort is still in place? It seems to be the case. I thought I was only sorting it once, not applying a sort that will stick??Here is the method for adding an item:
private function onAddNewClick():void
{
var fileTemplate:FileTemplateDetailDTO = new FileTemplateDetailDTO();

Easy, sure.. but i don't know what Function exactly i need to use.It's one flash move, hence it doesn't work with getURL or loadMovie...Some exemple with 3 separate pages here: yuri.fr

View 6 RepliesI have an array that is structured like so.
[Code]....
Normally, I'd just like to sort the array alphabetically using the name field, which is easy enough using the following code. However, I'd like to create a radio button called 'loadedRadioButton' and when it's click on, I'd like to sort the array on the loaded value first(any items with loaded=true should be at the top, sorted alphabetically), then afterwards, any other items with loaded=false, sorted alphabetically should follow afterwards, how can I do it?
Here is a website that needs a sort function to sort the video by Last name. [URL] I would like to have a link that popped up videos sorted by last name. Please take a look at the following site for an example. [URL] When you click on seconds in the menu below, it opens a pop-up window that sort the videos in a certain way. If you are willing to,I will give you the source file of what it currently has on [URL]
View 1 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)?
After applying a numeric sort to my dataprovider(Array Collection), I can not reorder the items via a tilelist. Do I need to remove the sort from the arrayCollection. If so, is it just a case of setting collection.sort = null ?
var sortField:SortField=new SortField();
sortField.name="order";
sortField.numeric=true;
var sort:Sort=new Sort();
sort.fields=[sortField];
I need to be able to sort the items of a combobox so they will be in alphabetical order. how would I do this?

View 1 RepliesI'm making an application where I display an AdvanvedDataGrid with one column with dates(in format DD/MM/YYYY) and another with datetimes (in format HH:MM). I'd like to sort dates according with the datetimes as well(just clicking in the header of the column), there is an examplen of the expected behaviour:
02/02/2011 | 10:42
03/02/2011 | 09:45
02/02/2011 | 11:45

_currentDatosBusqueda is an arraycollection I receive from the Server (with the correct format of dates and datetime).
I am sorting xmllist profilexml. In the list dates and months are sorted using SortField. It is sorting up to September month. After that Oct, Nov, and Dec are coming and displaying on the top in the datagrid.
finalList = new XMLListCollection(profileXml);
var sortL:Sort = new Sort();
sortL.fields = [new SortField("startDate", true)];
[Code]....
<startDate>2/15/2011</startDate> as per my understanding it is sorting until 0-9 numeric fields only. Is there anything I need to add in this code for numeric sorting?

next to the header of an advancedDataGrid you see a number. This number stays grey no matter what i do. I Already searched 1 hour to find the solution.

Apple

I#m looking for a solution to sort all grouped colums in advancedDatagrid. It should be the same behavior like clicking in a columns head. i'm not looking for a solution to sort the fields IN a the grouping. There is working solution named compareFunction. But I'm not able to sort the two rows in my picture by column "Einnahmen". Sorry for the german word.
View 4 RepliesI have an AdvancedDataGrid with a HierarchicalCollectionView as its dataProvider. When I view the grid with the dataset I'm working with, and click the header of the column I wish to sort on, everything works perfectly. It sorts it hierarchically exactly how I would expect it to.What I want to do now is have the grid already be sorted when it is shown to the user. Is there a way to do this programatically? I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this, and clearly it's possible since the AdvancedDataGrid has this built in.[code]This appears to do something as far as sorting goes, but it doesn't sort it in the same way as clicking the column header. "startDate" is a property of an object in theDataSource by the way.
