itemrenderer

I want to get rid of the typical Flex roll-over color in list-based components, and to display my own style of roll-over rendering. Setting useRollOver to 'false' is not an option , since disabling that will also make the List.isItemHighlighted() function to always return false. My custom renderer relies on that function. Can it be so hard? Is there no way of setting that roll-over color to transparent? Is there some other way for my renderer to figure out if an item is highlighted? Thanks! EDIT: Of course I could set the rollOver color to 'white' and set the alternatingRowColors to something

I have a List and the item renderer displays an image. Whenever you scroll the list, and the item renderer refreshes, it redownloads the image. Causing there to always be a delay. Is there some way of caching it so it doesn't have to redownload every time causing a delay in showing the image every time you scroll the list? Thanks! Here is nice solution with source code http://demo.quietlyscheming.com/superImage/app.html You'll have to implement your own caching. I would store all the images that have been previously downloaded and load them if the user goes back to them. I remember doing this

I'm creating a list of scores for a game. now most of the list i need to have the same ItemRenderer. but in one specific row of the list where the user who's playing is listed, it should show different information and with different background color. how can i achieve this ? update I already tried to resolve the issue with states, i created 2 states, one state called 'mine' and the 2nd state called 'others'. the problems that i got is that when users click on one of the list rows that state changes to i donno.. clicked or something and that's why i assumed that states are not the right action

In a Flex 4 web application I am trying to use a spark.components.List for a chat (for various reasons - it works well for me in a Flex mobile app already), but because I use an item renderer which can be multilined (i.e. wraps too long lines) I have the problem, that I can not scroll the list to its bottom by calling its ensureIndexIsVisible method: I have prepared a very simple test. These are just 2 files, which will work instantly, when you put them into a new Flex project in Flash Builder - MyApp.mxml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com

In the simple Flex 4 web application below - is it possible to change the custom item renderer MyRenderer , so that it wraps the too long lines? TestApp.mxml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"> <fx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.collections.ArrayList; private static const MONTHS:ArrayList = new ArrayList([ "1 January is a beautyful month", "2 February is a beautyful month", "3 March is a beautyful month", "4 April is a beautyful month", "5 May is a

I have a DataGrid component that displays a few columns of data. It has one additional column that displays a Button that allows the user to take an action with regard to the record. <mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{myData}"> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="firstName" headerText="First Name" width="75" /> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="LastName" headerText=" Last Name" width="150" /> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="phone" headerText="Phone" width="120" /> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="" width="110"> <mx:itemRenderer> <mx:Component> <mx:Box horizontalAlign="center" width="100%"> <mx:Button

What I am trying to accomplish to to get financial data in my Flex Datagrid to be color-coded--green if it's positive; red if it's negative. This would be fairly straightforward if the column I want colored was part of the dataProvider. Instead, I am calculating it based on two other columns that are part of the dataProvider. That would still be fairly straightforward because I could just calculate it again in the ItemRenderer, but another part of the calculation is based on the value of a textBox. So, what I think I need to be able to do is send the value of the textBox to the custom

Im trying to figure out how to build a view that contains (many of): PARENT1 (checkable, expandable) CHILD1 (RADIO BUTTON) CHILD2 (RADIO BUTTON) ... PARENT2 (checkable, expandable) CHILD1 (CHECKABLE) CHILD2 (CHECKABLE) ... The point is that parent has to be checkable and based on that children have to change the icon. Can some1 point me into the right direction, because from what i found nothing seems to work for me. I assume, you have your data structured somehow, like: ArrayList where Parent {name:String, checked:boolean, children:ArrayList} and Child {name:String} If so, you only have to do
