I was using the removedFromStage event within the component, but it just disappears (without playing th...
In my flex app I have a public bindable property. I want it so that every time the value of that property changes, a function gets triggered. I tried using ChangeWatchers, but it seems those only apply to built-in components like a text box change. I would like to do that same behavior with a property that changes at runtime. ...
I have a tabNavigator in my flex app. I am using: tabNavigator.getTabAt(indx).y to get the y-position of each tab. For some odd reason the y-position comes out to be different for tabs that have visited by the user, as compared to un-visited ones. I am using a creationpolicy = "all" on the tabNavigator. Not sure why this is happening. An...
I'm trying to setup a DataGrid that contains a column of combo boxes. The values of the combo boxes are defined by data specific to that row.

In my flex app I have custom tooltips on buttons that hide and show based on user context. The problem that I dealing with is that when I call my showTips() function I only want to show tooltips on the buttons that visible in the view. So buttons that on a un-selected tab (tabNavigator) should not show the tooltips. For some reason all t...
Is there a way to tell at runtime if a flex UIComponent is in the user's view or not. For example, if I have a tabNavigator with a combobox on each tab, is there a property of the comboBox that will tell me if it is visible to the user or not when I switch from one tab to another? I know it is not the comboBox.visible property. That is s...

When a user clicks on some button from that Login component it should redirect to the load Overview MSML component in place of Login component. ...

I'm having difficulty getting checkboxes on only the leaf nodes of a tree. Before anyone links it, I've seen http://www.sephiroth.it/file_detail.php?id=151# and this isn't exactly what I need. I don't want a 3-state checkbox system including both branch and leaf. I understand applying the checkbox item renderer to a data grid but not o...

Flex 4 introduces states that are localized within a skin, and within a component. This makes sense on an MVC model, so the visual elements can have their own states (i.e. for a button: up, down, over, etc.) which are separate from a component's state. Yet, how would one go about making a global application state? Is there something alre...
