Flex slidding panels showing off screen

-
So in the current project I'm working on I have a lot of Panels that slide on and off the screen. The problem I keep having is the Panels are still visible when their x value is set to the width of the container (meaning they are outside of the container but you can still see the edge of the Panel). I was messing around with clip content, etc, and nothing seemed to be working. Eventually I did the following combination and it worked (but still doesn't make much sense to me).

Set the container holding the sliding Panel to includeInLayout = false
Set the sliding panel to clipContent = true (and includeInLayout = true - the default)

Weird, but it works.

Here's my attempt at a sliding panel:

Mine is a reusable component that can slide in from the right or left, and in this post you can find out how to implement a focus loop in the panel.

Flex Advanced Data Grid collapses on refresh

-
I was having this problem with my Advanced Data Grid. Every time the data refreshed the whole thing collapsed, which isn't a good thing when users have drilled down 3 levels. I know this is probably a bad way of doing this, but it is the only way I could get to work. All the examples I've seen of this say to just assign the saved openNodes Object to the openNodes property, like this... myOpenNodes = new Object(); myOpenNodes = IHierarchicalCollectionView(myADG.dataProvider).openNodes //refresh here IHierarchicalCollectionView(myADG.dataProvider).openNodes = myOpenNodes; but that doesn't work!! Here is what I did: On the refresh method set the following variables (these variables need to be accessible from all methods inside the component, so put them in your model or make them global, whatever). These variables hold the state of the ADG before the refresh. //Object holding all currently open nodes myOpenNodes = new Object(); myOpenNodes = IHierarchicalCollectionView(myADG.d...

Add and remove lineseries - Flex LineChart

-
This took me some time to figure out so I thought I would post about it. Main objective is to toggle on and off lineseries based on user input. Usually this would mean editing the dataprovider, tricky thing here is that I need the color of each line to always be the same based on data, so instead I leave the dataprovider alone and actually add and remove LineSeries to/from the LineChart. This probably isn't the best way to do this, but hey, it works, and it may help someone else out. Here we go... First lets start with the MXML: Here I have a Panel with a LineChart and a Legend inside it, as well as 3 Toggle Buttons. You will notice that there are no series inside the LineChart. <mx:Panel title="LineChart Example" height="500" width="100%" layout="vertical"> <mx:HBox id="choices" horizontalGap="0"> <mx:Button id="Profit" label="Profit" toggle="true" click="upda...
