Hi
I hope someone can help me.....
i am trying to build a
dynamic form for a questionnaire module. Building on some previous posts I am using the process similar to that in question "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/629021/how-to-generate-a-formmxform-dynamically-in-flex" i have managed to prove out the fact of extending the XML to include a calendar, combobox etc.
my problem is that now need to get the data from an ArrayCollection rather than from an xml file. I am looking to loop through the AC and where type = "text" render a textinput field, where a type ="calendar" render a Calendar etc etc.
my code so far just looking at a textinput field (and sorry for all the comments included ;) is:-
[Bindable]
public var AC:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection( [
{type:'text', direction:'horizontal', tooltip:'test tooltip', label:'my textbox label', id:'1'},
{type:'text', direction:'horizontal', tooltip:'another tooltip', label:'another label', id:'2'}
]);
private function init():void
{
var form:Form = new Form();
for each(var elements:XML in AC)
{
switch(
[email protected]())
{
case "text":
var fi:FormItem = new FormItem();
// fi.toolTip = elements.tooltip.toString();
// fi.required = getglobalprofile.required.toString();
// fi.direction = getglobalprofileb[i].@direction;
var li:Label = new Label();
// li.text = getglobalprofileb[i].@label;
// li.width = 100;
var ti:TextInput = new TextInput();
ti.text = "test";
ti.width = 200;
form.addChild(fi);
fi.addChild(li);
fi.addChild(ti);
// break;
}
}
this.addChild( form);
}
]]
<mx:Form id="form" name="form">
</mx:Form>
if you are interested in the working xml version (rendering only) let me know and i will post this as well
