I'm not sure how to explain this, but why isn't this code pulling the correct image and icon file? It continues to pull the wrong info at the line 35, which makes all other data one node behind. Even when I delete the three locations below, it still gets the xml wrong. Why would it be doing this? I verified the xml data and made sure al...

While this not necessarily a technical question, I believe it will help a lot of developers (including myself!). With Silverlight 4.0 and Flex 4.0 both in beta, I thought I would put out an open question to the community and see what everyone likes and dislikes about each framework and why. I've worked with Flex in the past but have de...
Hi guys, What are the advantages of migrating a Flex 3 app (Java backend, BlazeDS, Spring, Hibernate) to Flex 4? One of the biggest advantages of Flex 4 is design. Assuming that design / UI isn't a big driver for the business right now as compared to performance, what are the other factors we can highlight? We have implemented Cairngo...

I thought this would be pretty easy but I'm running into all sorts of problems with this. I have an ItemRenderer with a an image and two labels. I want to assign separate mouse events to the image and two labels. It seems like the item renderer is treated like a single interactive piece and I haven't found a way to override that. I could...

I'm working with Flex4 and I'm trying to skin a form (add a background and a border to it, etc.) I'm trying to do it the Flex 4 way with skinClass="" <mx:Form skinClass="skins.MyFormSkin" /> but it's not accepting skinClass as a property. How should I do it such that I'm still adhering to the best practices in Flex 4 (decoupling v...
I want to find a way to get the character index in a Spark based RichEditableText based on mouse x, y position.
