Absolutely! I wonder if David still wants to do that road trip? We'll have to work out something interesting to document that if it hapens.

It isn't documented anywhere, but there is a REST api that I'm assuming you could use to list tracks etc. Crack open Firebug to see what is being called where on the site. Course I don't really know what their terms of use are and you'll definitely need to check with Beatport about that.

I've looked around and can't seen to find anything. I am assuming that you aren't using a public developer API?

They do have a pretty robust API for their services - it just isn't public. My thought is that they and the artists they serve up are a little worried about security, rights etc. Of course I don't actually work at Beatport so I don't know their true motives - also they are a relatively small company so I'm sure resource allocation for projects can be interesting. Just my 2 cents though.

When beatport gives me an API like the eBay API, then I'll be satisfied.

Yeah really. The post might be helpful to someone - unlike your comment. -_-

Re: Cursor postion in a flex TextArea control using the TextLineMetrics class

Javier -

I took a quick peek at what we did for the pop up menu and we are just using a list control. We change its visibility and add/removing event listeners where appropriate.

We did have to do some data tracking to manage when the list showed so the user could dismiss the list box and keep typing - that was the only hic-up we really encountered though.

John,

Thanks I appreciate it. I've had some luck displaying a pop up menu in the textarea right at the cursor position (thanks to you!) but I'm now having some trouble working with the events and getting it to do what I'd like it too. If its not much trouble, if you come across what you did please email me. Thanks again for making this post. Didn't think I was going to find anyone who was trying to do something similar.

Honestly its been so long since I've look at that code I'll have to go play with it, but I'll check it out again and get back to you about what I find out. - John

Thanks so much for sharing this John as I too am having the same problem! I've tried out your sample and I'm able to get a menu to appear if the user hits SPACE in the textarea. How did you address displaying the popUp? Did you use a menu object or some other component as the popUp? I'd be very interested in knowing what you did.
