Check Box in list

I was too lazy to read docs and then create a cellrenderer class to show checkbox in list component.
Was searching for some ready made code to get this working.
But no luck finally tired out something and could get to this point

example: List with CheckBox

Source

You can find the CheckCellRenderer.as in mx/controls/cells folder of flash

I edited it according to my need and named as CheckBoxCell.as

My first Apollo application

Checked out the Apollo followed the tutorial on labs by Andrew Muller : Building your First flex-based Apollo application. and could make an first step towards it. Its something very similar to mdm and Mprojector. There we get the mdm component to access the api of mdm (in flash). Here we need to have a apolloApplication tag instead of Applicaion tag in(flex) and Basically it creates a exe to which we can give attributes from xml(myApp-app.xml ) file kept on application root. we can have all the attributes like transparency's systemChrome and applications icon. We need to create a deployable air (installer )file.

We can ditribute this air file for the installation. and thats all..
Apollo app is created. we just need to study the Apollo api's :

Apollo is on Adobe labs

Was waiting long for Apollo ..and now the wait has ended. Was desperate to try something in it. But it was not available for development for the common developers.

But now its publicly available for the download on the adobe labs.We were reading a lot about it , its Camp from the various ppl's blog. But now will actually get to try something on it. :) Just visit this link : http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/apollo/ Check out all the sample applications and learn a lot , develop a lot :) Cheers :)!

my feedz api

The myFeedz API from adobe gives us facility to search content of

our interest across the web in more systematic way.
We need to create a account on myfeedz which gives a api key in our profile section.
We can add the tags of our own interest, the feeds that we like to our profile.
Using this key we can access the myFeedz API. Get the info of our interest.
The api section of myfeedz nicelly explain the use of all the api's listed there.
I was having some problem while accessing list of tags from my profile on my feedz.
Thanks to renaun , who helped me a lot in sorting out the problem.
The sample code is here :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" >
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON;
import mx.controls.Alert;

[Bindable]
private var myFeedzKey:String = "82f3eacc8d5ba8f651d940d197d23041";//"";
[Bindable]
private var feedURI:String = "http://www.myfeedz.com/api/v1/tags/?key=";
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HTTPService
id="feedZservice"
url="{ feedURI + myFeedzKey + '&from=1' }"
useProxy="false" result="showAlert(event)"
showBusyCursor="true"
/>
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Button label="list tags from my account" click="feedZservice.send()"/>
</mx:HBox/>
<mx:DataGrid
id="dgPosts"
height="90%" width="90%"
dataProvider="{ JSON.decode( feedZservice.lastResult.toString()).tags }">
</mx:DataGrid>
</mx:Application>
