Comment on Smooth Scrolling HorizontalList by JDavis

Thanks much for this info – the first class SmoothHorizontalScrollList works great.

To hide the scrollbars I set the horizontalScrollBar visible & includeInLayout properties to false. It doesn’t show up anymore, and things look ok for me :

override protected function configureScrollBars():void
{
super.configureScrollBars();
if (horizontalScrollBar) {
horizontalScrollBar.includeInLayout=horizontalScrollBar.visible=false;
horizontalScrollBar.lineScrollSize = .125; // should be inverse power of 2
}
}

I changed the mousewheel so that it moves incrementally as well:

override protected function mouseWheelHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
// Scrolldirection and distance calculation
if (horizontalScrollBar) {
var scrollAmount:Number = horizontalScrollBar.lineScrollSize * event.delta * -1.0;

var oldPosition:Number = super.horizontalScrollPosition;
var newPosition:Number = super.horizontalScrollPosition + scrollAmount;

if (newPosition < 0)
newPosition = 0;
else if (newPosition > maxHorizontalScrollPosition)
newPosition = maxHorizontalScrollPosition;

horizontalScrollBar.scrollPosition = newPosition;

var scrollEvent:ScrollEvent = new ScrollEvent(ScrollEvent.SCROLL);
scrollEvent.detail = event.delta.toString();
scrollEvent.direction = ScrollEventDirection.HORIZONTAL;
scrollEvent.position = newPosition;
scrollEvent.delta = newPosition - oldPosition;

horizontalScrollBar.dispatchEvent(scrollEvent);
}
}

Hi, this source is great. My problem is working out how to filter out specific users by a stored array of friends on a database. I can filter the default users list to show only these friends however selecting one of these users from the list and filtering out chat data from everyone, apart from the selected friend is another story.

What would be the best way to filter this chat content?

wrt my previous post, I found the problem. Replace:

combinedRendererWidth += columnWidth;

with:

if(renderer!=null)
combinedRendererWidth += columnWidth;

Cheers

First of all, great work on this! Very helpful indeed – thank you. :)

Like Victor (above), I’ve noticed if I add items to the list, the scrollbar gets smaller as the list gets longer. However, if I remove items from the list, the scrollbar doesn’t resize, and the list doesn’t get any shorter (whitespace is left where the removed items used to be)… Any thoughts?

Thanks

Comment on Flex :: ImageCache, a cheap way to cache images by kevin

kevin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 13:13:29 +0000

very handy – thanks!

Made a small update to ImageCache.as (noticed the last retrieved image was displayed if the url was null):

public override function set source(value:Object):void
{
if (value is String && String(value) != “”)
{
_sourceURL = String(value);
imageCache.addEventListener(ImageCacheEvent.COMPLETE, onImageRequestComplete);
imageCache.requestImage(String(value));

var lc:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
lc.checkPolicyFile = true;
super.loaderContext = lc;
}else{
super.source = null;
}
}
