  • How Do You Populate A Spark List Control With An Array?

    Hello, all,
    Sorry to come accross so frustrated, but how in the name of God do you populate a Spark list control with the data in an array?  You used to be able to do this with the mx:List control, but the guys developing Flex just had to make things more difficult than they need to be!  I am more of a code purist and prefer doing things the way they have been done for decades, but apparently nothing can ever stay simple!
    I simply want to populate a list control with an array and this shouldn't be rocket science!  I found out that I must use a "collection" element, so I decided that an arrayCollection would be best.  However, after searching Adobe's documentation about arrayCollections, I am lost in a black hole of data binding, extra lines of code just to add a new element, the need to sort it, etc...!
    Here is my code:
    var pendingArray:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
    for ( var i:int = 0 ; i < queue.length ; i++ )
         var item:UserQueueItem = queue[i] as UserQueueItem ;
         if ( item.status == UserQueueItem.STATUS_PENDING )
         pendingArray.addItem({label:item.descriptor.displayName,descriptor:item.descriptor});
    Here is the relevant MXML:
    <s:VGroup>
         <s:List id="knockingList" width="110" height="100"/>              
    </s:VGroup>
    I'm not getting any errors, but the list is not populating.
    I have seen several examples where the arrayCollection is declared and populated in MXML:
            <mx:ArrayCollection id="myAC">
                <!-- Use an fx:Array tag to associate an id with the array. -->
                <fx:Array id="myArray">
                    <fx:Object label="MI" data="Lansing"/>
                    <fx:Object label="MO" data="Jefferson City"/>
                    <fx:Object label="MA" data="Boston"/>
                    etc...
               </fx:Array>
            </mx:ArrayCollection>
    That may be fine for an example, but I think this is a rare situation.  Most of the time I would image that the arrayCollection would be created and populated on the fly in ActionScript!  How can I do this?
    Thanks in advance for any help or advice anyone can give!
    Matt

    In your post it seemed like you were trying to take care of many considerations at once: optimization, design, architecture.  I would suggest you get something up and running and then worry about everything else.
    If I use data binding, then I will probably have to declare the  arrayCollection as a global variable and then I'll have to write 100 or  so extra lines of code to addItem(), removeItem(), sort(), etc...  It  just seems like too much overhead.
    I believe you may have some misconceptions about databinding in general.  You won't have to make it a global variable and you certainly won't need an extra 100 lines of code.  If you did this forum would be a very , very quiet place.
    I don't want to use data binding because the original array is refreshed  often and there is one function called by an event that re-declares the  arrayCollection each time, populates it with the array, and then sets  it as the list's dataprovider.
    That is the beauty of the ArrayCollection, it can handle the updates to its source Array. I don't know if you need to redeclare the ArrayCollection, resetting the source to the new Array allows everyone involved to keep their references so you don't have to worry about any "spooky" stuff going on.

  • How to search XML data from a HTTPMultiService and display the result on the Spark List

    Hello all,
    I am totally new to Flash Builder and Actionscript and hope someone might be able to help me out. I basically create a mobile app with a single view. The view has a TextInput as a search box and a search button. I conntected a Data/Service using a local XML file and bind the Data to a Spark List. Innitally the List will show nothing until the user enter the search term and hit the button. The List suppose to show the XML data that match the search term.
    Now is my problem. I cannot make the List to show the data that match the search text. The List just shows ALL the data.
    Here are my MXML code:

    Hi,
    are you able to change dynamically the  operation.url = "assets/data/shopping.xml";?

  • Need help with navigation within a spark list...

    hey guys, so in my application when you click on a list item, it opens up an image, and along with the image a few buttons are created dynamically...
    the image and the url/labels for the dynamic buttons is provided through an xml/xmlListCollection.
    what i need help with is the url or more specifically when you click on one of these dynamic buttons it needs to navigate me to another part of an list or display a certain set of images that is not in my spark list...

    i have attached a copy of the xml that i have right now to this post for reference...
    any help will be greatly appretiated!!! i've been stuck on this problem for the last week and my project is due soon
    again thank you in advance...

    hey david... just nevermind my previous post... I was able to subclass a link button, so i now have two variables that get assigned to a link button,
    one is "tabId" <-- contains the information on which tab to swtich to, and the second is, "changeTo"... this contans the label name which it needs to switch to

  • Disable Spark List selection indicator

    How do I get rid of the Spark List selection indicator entirely?  I don't want the rectangular indicator when the mouse hovers over an item, and I don't want the color to change when the mouse is clicked.

    You'll have to extend default item renderer (ItemRenderer for instance) and set autoDrawBackground to false. And then use your item renderer in a list.
    See this document for more information on spark item renderers.

  • Return data from spark list itemrenderer

    Does anybody no how to return data from the itemrender for a spark list. say i had a checkbx in my itemrenderer how can I get that info back to my main component if its selected or not. I looked at datagrid and itemeditor but I really rather use a spark list. Thanks

    thanks I also found another way to doing it. A click handler on my list when that fires I can check if checkbx has been selected by doing event.target.document.mycheckBx.selected this will not work if using currentTarget cause it take the info from the itemRenderer. Now I understand the difference between currentTarget and target.
    not sure if this is a better way to access the data I think I might still just dispatch a event and do it your way.
    Its weird that mx:list has a editItemRenderer  and s:list does not
    thanks again TK

  • Spark List Itemrenderer items outside of List

    I have a spark list and i want some of the items in it to appear out side of the list depending on the users interaction.
    Is there a way to make items of an item renderer appear outsid of the LIst container?
    When i use basic layout on the lsit and explicitly set the x and y, they appear behind the list.
    Thanks.

    Hi jmandawg,

     <s:List id="lst" itemRenderer="com.att.ntscp.view.component.ListRenderer" dataProvider="{detailAC}" width="200" height="200"/>
    Is it a little bit trick?

  • Extending a component which already extends a spark list ItemRenderer

    Hello everyone,
    I have the following situation: Im displaying lists of very similar data objects (they extend the same parent) so in order to avoid a lot of changes to many itemrenderers (if i need to change something in the common properties) when displaying this data, i defined a spark list ItemRenderer (in MXML) which displays the common properties (file called BaseRenderer.mxml):
    <s:ItemRenderer>
         //in the script section i override the set data property
         //some MXML labels, checkboxes, etc
    </s:ItemRenderer>
    Then i created a specific itemrenderer which extended it (file SpecificRenderer.mxml):
    <model:BaseRenderer>
         //again i override the set data property
         //some ADITIONAL MXML labels, checkboxes, etc
    </model:BaseRenderer>
    When i run the app, and when the specific renderer is used, it works (no errors are thrown) , but it only shows the content of specific renderer, nothing from base renderer is visible. Is this the right way to do this, or do i have to override some additional stuff in my specific renderers?
    Thank you.
    One more thing, i just noticed, if i remove all MXML tags from specific renderer, the content from base renderer becomes visible, seems as if specific content overrides base content. Is there a way to add mxml tags into the specificrenderer?

    Yes i suspected them to be merged, and you gave me a great idea. As you say this behavior is true across all mxml defined components, not just itemrenderers. I want to avoid actionscript renderers because i dont (and wont) have any performance issues anyway and i like flexibility in design view, so instead i found another solution which i slightly modified. Some spark components inherit property mxmlContent, which you can override. This is what i came up with in the end: I added the property override into specific renderer and everything is shown as expected (because base elements are merged with the ones from extended component).
    override public function set mxmlContent(value:Array):void {
                                            var adding:Boolean = true;
                                            var index:int = 0;
                                            while (adding) {
        var element:IVisualElement = null;
        try {          element = super.getElementAt(index); } catch(e:Error) {          }
        if ( element != null )  {
           value.push(element);
           index += 1;
        else
          adding = false;
                                            value.reverse();
                                            super.mxmlContent = value;

  • Wrap long lines in a Spark List component?

    I have a Spark List. 
    The text for each entry is on one line, and is too long to fit.
    Can I get it to break to as many lines as needed without a custom item renderer?

    If you define an explicit width on the SimpleText in the DefaultItemRenderer you can get this behavior.
    Here is an example of this using an inline ItemRenderer:

  • Spark list horizontal scroller doesn't actualize when rows is set lesser than list container

    Hello,
    The size of the Image control is set larger than that of its parent Group  container. By default, the child extends past the boundaries of the parent  container. Rather than allow the child to extend past the boundaries of the  parent container, the Scroller specifies to clip the child to the boundaries and  display scroll bars.
    In the spark list, when I change the list dataProvider and the size of the Image control is set lesser than that of its parent Group  container, the horizontal scroller doesn't actualize.
    thanks.

  • How To Add scrollbar in Spark list which will work on mouse movement ?

    Hi,
    I want to add scrollbar in Spark list which will work on mouse movement, i.e instead scrolling down it will sense mouse position and scroll automatically. I could not find a way to handle this with horizontalLayout.
    I tried hovering on list and setting ensureIndexIsVisible(index) but hovering element index is not present in the Spark List.
    Any idea on this will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
