Hi,
There are separate extension managers for CS3 and CS4. You will need
to use the respective extension manager for each version of flash that
you are using. Please confirm that you have installed the components
to use with CS4 with the CS4 extension manager.

Also, bear in mind that the CS3 components were designed and tested
for CS3. Minimal testing has been done with the CS3 components in CS4
and they do appear to work. More testing will be done in the near
future to determine if any changes will need to be made.

If you are still having installation problems or if you run into any
other issues, feel free to ping back and we will investigate for you.

Thanks,
Tripp

Hi,
I just went to both entry points and successfully downloaded good zips
for the ASTRA Flash components. We have had similar issues before and
I will let the appropriate folks at Yahoo know so that they can
investigate. You may want to try again. Perhaps refresh your browser
and try. If that does not work, try this link and see if it works for
you. http://download.yahoo.com/ycs/ydn/flash/pkg/astra-flash-1.3.1.zip

If you are still having problems, please ping back.

Thanks,
Tripp

Hi, I'm migrating some some projects to version 1.3.1 of the ASTRA library from
version 1.2.0
and it appears that auto-scaling the y-axis of a LineChart to an XML
dataProvider no longer
works.  Is this intentional?

Commenting out line 123 of the FinancialTimeline.as example file reproduces this
behavior.

I've traced the change to com.yahoo.astra.fl.charts.axes.NumericAxis, line 410
in the
updateScale method:

var value:Number = this.chart.itemToAxisValue(series, j, this) as Number;

For XML dataProviders, itemToAxisValue() always returns a String.  Casting to a
Number
always returns 0.  The isNaN test on the next line is never triggered by an XML
provider, even
when it seems to me it should.

Original functionality can be restored by changing the previous line to:

var value:Number = Number(this.chart.itemToAxisValue(series, j, this));

Hi,
I am unable to reproduce your issue. I just successfully installed the
component to flash cs4 using the cs4 extension manager. I am going to
need to ask you a few more questions.

What message are you receiving from the extension manager after
installing the components?
Are you getting any alerts from the extension manager? If so, what do
they say?

Thanks,
Tripp

Hi Yesterday I downloaded the astra-flash-1.3.1.zip and am working
with some of the chart examples. However I am receiving a compile
error message saying that:

"The definition of base class UIComponent could not be found"

The chart class package imports fl.core.UIComponent - which appears to
be missing.

In looking at the extracted .zip I don't see a "core" directory,
within the fl, or any other directory for that matter. Anyone have any
idea if this is the corruption of the .zip folks are talking about or
where I might be able to access the missing class files?

Thanks!

fl.core.UIComponent comes with Flash CS3 and Flash CS4. It looks like
you're trying to use the source code in your class path. Instead, you
should install Astra with the MXP and drag the chart you need from the
Components panel.

Thanks Josh,

I did install it that way. and am dragging the chart to the stage,
deleting it then adding it at run time  from the library.

what you saying makes sense... but I still get the error that the
UIComponent base class could not be found at fl.core.UIComponent from
line 164 of Chart.as.

hmmm?

Hi,

Are you able to recreate the simple example with the chart component?
Are you able to recreate any examples with any of the other ASTRA
Flash components?
Are you able to use any of CS3 components that make use of the
UIComponent?
What version of the Flash IDE are you using?

Could you post your code that you are trying to use?

Thanks,
Tripp

It sounds like you may have a chart in the library AND the source in
your class path. I think that has caused trouble for developers in the
past.

Hey Thanks again.

Not sure why my reply posted multiple times, but anyway. Yeah I think
you are right. I removed the library item and the error went away.

When a component is added to a subclass of HBoxPane and the container
has been configured to layout its children using a percentWidth or
percent Height property, does the container stretch the components, or
do these children get an opportunity to redraw themselves at their new
height and width?

The width and height properties of the children are set. If a child is
designed to redraw when that happens, then it should redraw normally.
If its just a regular old Sprite or MovieClip, then it'll stretch.

How should a child be designed to redraw? They extend Sprite and I
have a listener on the Event.RESIZE, but that never gets called.

Hi,
You may want to try overriding the setters for your class' width and
height properties. Something like this should do it:

override public function set width(value:Number):void
{
     //call your redraw function
}

Thanks,

i am just learning flex and i would like to use it from this point
forward can i incorporate swf files into a flex doc...?

Hello,
   Is it possible to disable a Menu in the same way as a menu item?
I've tried including 'enabled="false"' but it doesn't seem to work.

  <menu label="Disable this "  enabled="false">
  </menu>

This is a particular problem because I have a main menuBar with
several menus. One of them is sometimes empty. If you click on the
empty menu then there's a flash error. It would be very useful to be
able to disable it. At the moment I have to add a dummy disabled menu
item to it which isn't ideal.

Cheers

Joe

Hi Joe,

I will log a bug on this and get it into a future release.

I am creating a Flex application with a data grid component. On my
side I can edit it, but I need for the other side to see my updates/edits.

What is it called in Flex when an update happens in the client? What
is the best way to make it happen?

To be clear I would like for users to see a status update like I do
with Gmail?

Thanks.

Hi,

One option would be to use a publish/subscribe or messaging
architecture.  Here's a link on Adobe's Developer Center for you:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/intro_fms_02.html

Good luck!

Thanks, I was going for a text messing component too, but if I knew
what the push is called like in Ajax where a data grid value gets
updated. That is what I want to do.

Hi folks, trying to include the Astra tree component into a clients
project. I want to specify the look and feel of individual elements
within the node structure, this I can do to a certain extent until it
falls over at position 15 within the for loop. My variable icr comes
back at null, however when I check against mytree, I can see value 15
properties?

It's a mystery to me.

Hi,
Perhaps i missed it in the documentation, but I can't find it. I would
like to initialize the selected state for one of the radio group items
in a menu type=radio. Does any one know how? I tried setting the
selectedIndex as in the code below but it did not work:

var colors:XML =
<root>
<menuitem label="Red" type="radio" group="mygroup" />
<menuitem label="Blue" type="radio" group="mygroup" />
</root>

//create a menu "out of the blue" and give it the xml data above
var menu:Menu = Menu.createMenu(this, colors);
menu.selectedIndex = 1;

Thanks

Hi,
The easiest way to initialize a menu item with a radio button selected
would be to set it in your xml. The following would make the "Red"
item selected:

<root>
<menuitem label="Red" type="radio" group="mygroup" selected="true" />
<menuitem label="Blue" type="radio" group="mygroup" />
</root>

Since Menu extends List, you could also set the selected item
programatically using the getItemAt method. The following would also
set "Red" as selected:

var colors:XML =
<root>
<menuitem label="Red" type="radio" group="mygroup" />
<menuitem label="Blue" type="radio" group="mygroup" />
</root>

//create a menu "out of the blue" and give it the xml data above
var menu:Menu = Menu.createMenu(this, colors);
menu.getItemAt(0).selected = true;

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Tripp
