Flexible buffered data

we are embedding an AIR application in Flex. We dynamically fill the canvas and present it. The problem is that the data is not built before changing the canvas. Is there a way to block the withdrawal and submit it after the data is filled?

You could do a couple of different things.

1) use states - have the state of the loading data after the data has been received, processed, etc. switch to a state with newly added states. (I would not recommend this approach though, since it is a bit of a hack. You can use this approach and use a viewstack or something similar, it should be implemented as states (i.e., once the data is processed, go from view index 0 - 1 - 0 is loading state and 1 is visual components)



2) it would be better to update your interface when you have processed the data. If for some reason the UI doesn't update after adding / modifying some UI components, you need to understand things like invalidateProperties and invalidateDisplayList. I found this example very good for understanding these technologies. http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/components/randomwalk-component/ and http://demo.quietlyscheming.com/RandomWalk/IconWalk.html
