So, I wanted to select and Deselect all of the rows in a single click. The AdvancedDataGrid(ADG from now on) uses an array to store the data, and as a reference to what rows/cells are selected.

The following code is a Flex application that animates the background alpha of a canvas for a smooth background fade-in and fade-out: Sun, 15 Mar 2009 13:00:00 GMT http://tutorial17.flexcf.com http://tutorial16.flexcf.com The out of the box AdvancedDataGrid forces the user to click on the little triangle to expand and contract the tree. The following script allows for the user to click anywhere in the row to expand/contract.

I wanted to make sure only valid email address's were saved. I wanted this to be as simple and if I can re-use it all the better. Using the EmailValidator in Flex I came up with this example. Wed, 04 Mar 2009 13:00:00 GMT http://tutorial15.flexcf.com http://tutorial14.flexcf.com One of the things I like most about ColdFusion's <CFSELECT> tag is the SELECTED attribute, give it a value and it figures out which one to pre-select. The Flex ComboBox allows you to set selectedIndex (the relative element position) but not selectedValue. Actually, ComboBox does have a selectedValue property, but that is used to read the value of the selected item, and can't be used to set the value of the item to be selected.

This tutorial, mostly from: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=Part7_DataVis_1.html Adobe Flex's Data Visualization Developer's Guide, and slightly modified. I've been going through the guide to get a better handle on charting with Flex. In my opinion, this is one of the better examples and it's a good demonstration of the graphing capabilities of Adobe Flex. Mon, 23 Feb 2009 13:00:00 GMT http://tutorial13.flexcf.com http://tutorial12.flexcf.com This tutorial deals with getting raw image data from the Coldfusion server and sending it back to Flex via a RemoteObject call and what to do with the data on each end once it is received. The Connect presentaion can be seen here: http://experts.na3.acrobat.com/p37889200/ Thu, 19 Feb 2009 13:00:00 GMT http://tutorial12.flexcf.com http://tutorial11.flexcf.com Several people have emailed in requesting a simple get started CRUD example. I put together this simple example which should have the basics to get you started if your just getting into Flex and have a Coldfusion background. Mon, 09 Feb 2009 13:00:00 GMT http://tutorial11.flexcf.com http://tutorial10.flexcf.com If you’ve ever wanted to refresh a tired web interface by replacing your traditional HTML forms with a more user friendly interface, you may have encountered some of the thoughts which are addressed here. I’ll describe a method to utilize the power of Flex components in conjunction with some simple ColdFusion tags to make this process as simple as possible. You’ll end up with (hopefully) a better user inteface; and be able to centralize multiple forms into a refreshless (page that is) interface. Note this uses US zip codes so for a workign example try a US zip code or use a well known one: 90210 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 13:00:00 GMT http://tutorial10.flexcf.com http://tutorial9.flexcf.com A simple DataGrid custom item renderer (pretty small & hopefully well commented) using cfartgallery as a datasource. Note that the Quantity field is editable via a numeric stepper. Thu, 08 Jan 2009 13:00:00 GMT http://tutorial9.flexcf.com http://tutorial8.flexcf.com To send e-mail with CF is very simple! With Flex it is not different. We will use the simple integration of Flex with CF to set up a contact form! We will use Remote Object Services to accomplish the connection between Flex and CF, through FlashRemoting that comes with CF 7 and 8. Thu, 09 Oct 2008 13:00:00 GMT http://tutorial8.flexcf.com http://flexcf.com/notice/1 We are very pleased to announce the launch of FlexCF.com this is a sister site for LearnCF.com and focuses on Flex application development with a ColdFusion backend. There are seven tutorials published on launch, with more to come. Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:00:00 GMT http://flexcf.com/notice/1 http://tutorial7.flexcf.com In this sample, a DataGrid is populated and a textbox allows entry of data. As the data is typed the DataGrid is dynamically filtered by eliminating rows that don't match the filter. It automatically searches all columns defined in the grid. Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:00:00 GMT http://tutorial7.flexcf.com http://tutorial6.flexcf.com This tutorial demonstrats how to bind a ColdFusion class to an ActionScript (Flex) class. Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:00:00 GMT http://tutorial6.flexcf.com http://tutorial4.flexcf.com This tutorial shows how to both populate a grid, and also take the text from an input field and use it as a keyword search. The keyword search is done by passing the value to the CFC and is then used in the query Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:00:00 GMT http://tutorial4.flexcf.com http://tutorial3.flexcf.com This tutorial covers the basics of dynamically populating a combo box from a query. Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:00:00 GMT http://tutorial3.flexcf.com http://tutorial2.flexcf.com The enhancements to the data grids in Flex 3 have been eagerly anticipated, and are greatly appreciated - especially by us ColdFusion developers who spend so much time creating highly data-centric applications. I plan on providing examples of how to use the new data grids with ColdFusion, and here is the first. AdvancedDataGrid supports group expanding and collapsing within grids, think of it as a grid with an embedded tree control. Multiple levels of grouping are supported (each level becomes a tree branch), but this example uses a single level for simplicity's sake. The example uses the default database tables that come with ColdFusion 8, and here is the simple CFC method which just returns several columns from two tables: Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:00:00 GMT http://tutorial2.flexcf.com http://tutorial1.flexcf.com This is a simple tutorial showing how to communicate between Flex & ColdFusion. The tutorial makes a simple call to a CFC and returns the current time. Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:00:00 GMT http://tutorial1.flexcf.com
