e4x and images

[stonyx]

hi everyone
my question i think is simple but i'm really new in flex and ActionScript

i have this mxml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml" xmlns="*"
creationComplete="srv.send()" viewSourceURL="srcview/index.html">
<mx:Style source="main.css"/>

<mx:Script>

<![CDATA[
import mx.styles.StyleManager;

private function filterProduct(item:Object):Boolean
{
return item.name.match(new RegExp("^" + inputText.text, "i\*" + /abc|xyz/));
}

]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HTTPService id="srv" url="datos/datos2.xml"
resultFormat="e4x" />
<mx:XMLListCollection id="xlc"
source="{srv.result.*}"
filterFunction="filterProduct"/>
<mx:Panel width="568" height="569" layout="absolute" backgroundColor="#800000">
<mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{xlc}" height="485"
editable="false" width="150" id="datagrid" scroll="true" change="xlc.refresh()">
<mx:layoutConstraints>
<mx:Anchor top="5" left="5"/>
</mx:layoutConstraints>
<mx:columns>
<mx:Array>
<mx:DataGridColumn columnName="name"/>
</mx:Array>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>

<mx:TextArea width="353" height="291" textAlign="justify" htmlText="{datagrid.selectedItem.desc}"
wordWrap="true" styleName="main.css">
<mx:layoutConstraints>
<mx:Anchor right="25" top="5"/>
</mx:layoutConstraints>
</mx:TextArea>
<mx:Image x="374" y="304" width="164" height="181" source="{datagrid.selectedItem.imagen}"/>
<mx:ControlBar>
<mx:layoutConstraints>
<mx:Anchor bottom="0"/>
</mx:layoutConstraints>
<mx:TextInput id="inputText" width="154"
change="xlc.refresh()" text="Buscar" backgroundColor="#f0eff1"/>
</mx:ControlBar>
</mx:Panel>

</mx:Application>

[stonyx]

any one
helloooooooooooooooo"

so nobody has work with e4x before?, or you just to busy to answer?:eek:

[CyanBlue]

I don't know... and I don't know why I am responding when I don't know the answer... :)

i could be wrong, but maybe it is becouse your server does not "understand" spaces in file names ie FOTOS/Abdo Arias, Williams Alejandro. jpg

Tell me does flex plays mp3 or you have similar problem?

this project is for cd distribution so i don't think thats the problem
the mp3 files are ok
i know my problem is cause i'm a noob in ActionScript

is there any way i can trace
catalog.libro.imagen
when clicking on the datagrid and show
<imagen>FOTOS/Abdo Andrade, Alberto. jpg</imagen> in the mx:image:(

if i don't use e4x this is really easy i usually put
<mx:Image source="{datagrid.selectedItem.imagen}" />
and thats it

[nirth]

try this

<mx:Image source="{datagrid.selectedItem.imagen.text()}" />

[stonyx]

try this

<mx:Image source="{datagrid.selectedItem.imagen.text()}" />



sorry for my ignorance (and my english)
but isn't that code to display the text?
what i want is to display the image in the <mx:image/>
if i use
<mx:Image source="{datagrid.selectedItem.imagen}" />
everything is ok but the image won't display

[nirth]

yeah sorry, text does not makes any changes ( it just returns same stuff)
this is probably some issue with data bindings

[stonyx]

i already figure it out, thanks

[goliatone]

hi stonix,
why dont you explain what was wrong in that code...so, this thread might be helpful for someone else...

take care

[stonyx]

i only add a @ before imagen
<mx:Image x="374" y="304" width="164" height="181" source="{datagrid.selectedItem.@imagen}"/>

and thats it, took 1 week to figure it out, the problem was i'm using e4x but ones u understand it is easy to use :D

[goliatone]
