For my latest project I needed to display 3D cylinder slices - Papervision was an obvious choice. Unfortunately the primitive cylinder class does not work this way, the cylinder is built as a square mesh with no option for segment slices. So I had to help myself, I started to play with the almost undocumented PV3D primitives, step by step modifying the original cylinder class and after couple hours I dig out what is what and derived my RadialSegment class. It follows the original concept with one material for whole object, supports UV mapping and inherit all other properties. Here it is, use it as you wish.

It seems that my site got some problem with traffic and is so slow (at least for me), so I want to do anything with that. Change webhost provider, or change it to dedicated server and then provide Flex, AIR, Flash tutorials for anyone who want to learn new Adobe technology. Because this costs money, I’ve create Franto.com Supporters page, when I will list all supportes for my site (PR7). So if you wish support it and let me try to do anything to speed up this site and provide good free tutorials for anyone you can just support this site.
Thanks in advance.

This is new post in my DataGrid Series Flex Tutorials. This tutorial shows you how to filter rows for searched keyword. It's quite easy, since dataProvider for DataGrid is ArrayCollection, and ArrayCollection has variable filterFunction. It simple expect function which will filter correct rows for you. So basically, you have Datagrid and dataProvider is defined like this
Actionscript:
-
[Bindable] public var dpRows:ArrayCollection;
then you can create filter function in this simple way:
Actionscript:
-
public function filterResults():void
-
{
-
dpRows.filterFunction = _sortRows;
-
dpRows.refresh();
-
}
and finally function, which filters results. It returns true for row, which will be visible, and false for row which will be hiden.
Actionscript:
-
private function _sortRows(item:Object):Boolean
-
{
-
var col:String = cmbCol.selectedItem.data as String;
-
var key:String = keyword.text;
-
-
key = key.toLowerCase();
-
-
if (key != "")
-
{
-
if (col != "any")
-
{
-
var value:String = item[col];
-
value = value.toLowerCase();
-
-
if (value.indexOf(key)>= 0)
-
{
-
return true;
-
}
-
} else {
-
for (var o:String in item)
-
{
-
value = item[o];
-
value = value.toLowerCase();
-
if (value.indexOf(key)>= 0)
-
{
-
return true;
-
}
-
}
-
}
-
} else {
-
return true;
-
}
-
-
return false;
-
}
It's quite simple tutorial. Here you can see source code for example which follows.
In next tutorial for DataGrid I will show you how you can add Button into cell. We will use custom itemRenderer for DataGridColumn.
If you have any questions, or suggestions for tutorial, please let me know...
Enjoy.

Today Facebook add chat into its site. You can find it at bottom-right. Very neat Ajax app Thanks to Ryan Stewart for notifying me through Twitter. Only thing I'm missing is multi chat, but I think it's matter of time

FlexSpy - Kind of what Firebug does for HTML/Ajax applications but for Flex 2.0/3.0 applications.
This is another quick help in Flex/AIR development. If you need component inspector in your application, FlexSpy is great library for you. All you need to do, is add lib into your project (Flex 2 or Flex 3 version) and call
FlexSpy.show(); That's all and you can inspect your classes right in Flash player. You can also change values and change will be reflected in your app. You can also Find Component for inspecting with dragging cursor over component. So download FlexSpy from Google Code and try it. It will help you in your Flex/AIR development.
