Comment on Exploding Pie Charts by Nathan

Nathan — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 08:01:37 +0000

Hi Kenneth,

Good post and nice explanation.

How do we get the PieSeries fill color information inside the Legend ? So that I can change the color of my LegendText based on the PieColor .

I’ve tried accessing super.element in my custom LegendItem class. However I could not find it.

Need your help.

Comment on Updating bindings when you only change a property inside an Object by Kenneth

Making the property bindable doesn’t always work. It does depend on what exactly you are doing (as is always the case).
I’d tend to stay away from making a whole class Bindable as well (unless of course I did want everything bindable – and if I did it would be better to have everything fire custom events. So I’d not mark the class as Bindable.)
Perhaps I should have used a better example, but I was wanting a quick way to show how to use the BindingManager.executeBindings. I’ve seen a few helpful links that explain when and where using binding inside complex objects doesn’t work but can’t find them right now. Will post up a link shortly to help explain.
The above is just another way of executing bindings when the normal methods don’t quite work.

Or you can declare your text attribute Bindable inside your ObjectDataVO
// [Bindable] You can declare the whole class Bindable too, making every single public attribute Bindable. I don't recommend this approach, making Bindable only those attrs which have to be bindable. public class ObjectDataVO { [Bindable] public var text:String; }

Or even, you can wrap your object with and ObjectProxy class, which implies that it’ll trigger events on ObjectDataVO text property changes.

Could you add URLs to the online Flex Language Reference Manuals?

Comment on LocalConnection – AIR -> Flex (and back if you want) by Kenneth

@Mike, yeah just right click on the apps and select the view source. You can do it on both flex and AIR app. I’ve just tried it and it is working.

I’m trying to send a message from AIR (flashbuilder 4) to an AS2 file. The LocalConnection says “success” but the function is not involked! Is your source code for the flash/flex piece available?

Thanks,

Mike

I’ve not actually used ant with the above, but from what I’ve read this will explain it to you.

I have bookmarked this page as a reminder. Do you know how to do this using ANT?
