mike,

I’d start by checking out the DynamicData.mxml file in the examples folder of the zip. Let me know if you have any trouble getting it working.

Felipe,

To specify which properties to show in the dataGrid and set the headers you can use the following (note: make sure you’re using 1.1 version of the component).

autoComplete.browserFields = [{field:"id",label:"ID"}];

Hello
I’m from Brazil, use the Chooser component, but I have a difficulty using the property isBrowseable = “true”, like that when I could use this property to limit the columns in the DataGrid that opens, just put the ID and Description of the object. and I also have the difficulty to rename the column of the DataGrid headerText that opens on top, can you help me?

Lakhan,

In the future I may charge for it but for now it’s free.

The best place to download the source/swc is http://hillelcoren.com/flex-autocomplete/

I just want to know that weather your component is free to use or it require any Licence. Also I would require source code or SWC file if it is free to use. Please let me know from where we can download the same.

Thank in Advance.

Hi Hillel
All the best for 2010…
Currently I am develloping an application where i use
your color_demo and your email_demo.
to move the values I collected via your autocomplete component
to my database I first of all have to sort them to an array and splice them to the
position that maches the database table’s fields.

colors = new ArrayCollection(
[
{ “name”:”wert1″, “hex”:”1″, “nr”:”10″, “val”:”1″ },
{ “name”:”wert2″, “hex”:”1″ , “nr”:”10″, “val”:”2″},
..etc

I simply recycled your function for changing the bg color,
to splice the contents of the autocomplete box to an array (to transmit it to a database later)

private function handleAutoCompleteChange():void
{
var color:Object = autoComplete.selectedItem;

if (color != null && color.hasOwnProperty( “hex” ))
{
//Application.application.setStyle( “backgroundColor”, color.hex );

Application.application.antworten.splice(color.nr, 0, color.val);
trace(Application.application.antworten);
}
}

this works.

But how could I achieve to do the same when something is removed via backspace?
I mean, replacing the Value in my Array at Position “color.nr” with a default value..

Sorry for asking beginner Questions

thanks
Martin

Bo,

I plan to add the ability to set the value to use as the separator in the next version. For now, this comment explains a workaround using the source.
