The OLAPSet class represents a set, which is used to configure the axis of an OLAP query. A set consists of zero or more tuples; a set that does not contain any tuples is known as an empty set.

Method Detail

addElement

()method
public function addElement(e:IOLAPElement):void

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Adds a new member to the set.

This method adds the appropriate elements to the set, depending on the type of element passed in. If an IOLAPHierarchy element is passed, it adds the default member of the hierarchy. If an IOLAPLevel element is passed, it adds all the members of the level. If an IOLAPMember element is passed, it is added to the set.

Parameters

e:IOLAPElement — The member to add. If element is a hierarchy or level, its members are added. If element is an instance of IOLAPMember, it is added directly. A new tuple is created for each member.

addElements

()method 
public function addElements(members:IList):void

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Adds a list of members to the set. This method can be called when members or children of a hierarchy or member need to be added to the set.

Parameters

members:IList — The members to add, as a list of IOLAPMember instances. A new tuple is created for each member.

addTuple

()method 
public function addTuple(tuple:mx.olap:IOLAPTuple):void

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Adds a new tuple to the set.

Parameters

tuple:mx.olap:IOLAPTuple — The tuple to add.

compareMembers

()method 
protected function compareMembers(m1:IOLAPMember, m2:IOLAPMember):int

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Returns information about the relative location of two members in the set.

Parameters

m1:IOLAPMember — The first member.
 
m2:IOLAPMember — The second member.

Returns
int — The following:
  • 0 if the members are at the same level
  • 1 if m2 is higher in the hierarchy than m1
  • -1 if m1 is higher in the hierarchy than m2

crossJoin

()method 
public function crossJoin(input:IOLAPSet):IOLAPSet

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Returns a new IOLAPSet instance that contains a crossjoin of this IOLAPSet instance and input.

Parameters

input:IOLAPSet — An IOLAPSet instance.

Returns
IOLAPSet — An IOLAPSet instance that contains a crossjoin of this IOLAPSet instance and input.

findCommonHierarchy

()method 
protected function findCommonHierarchy(t1:mx.olap:OLAPTuple, t2:mx.olap:OLAPTuple):IOLAPHierarchy

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Returns the common IOLAPHierarchy instance for two tuples, or null if the tuples do not share a hierarchy.

Parameters

t1:mx.olap:OLAPTuple — The first tuple.
 
t2:mx.olap:OLAPTuple — The second tuple.

Returns
IOLAPHierarchy — The common IOLAPHierarchy instance for the two tuples, or null if the tuples do not share a hierarchy.

hierarchize

()method 
public function hierarchize(post:Boolean = false):IOLAPSet

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Returns a new IOLAPSet that is hierarchized version of this set.

Parameters

post:Boolean (default = false) — If true indicates that children should precede parents. By default, parents precede children.

Returns
IOLAPSet — A new IOLAPSet that is hierarchized version of this set.

sortTuple

()method 
protected function sortTuple(t1:mx.olap:OLAPTuple, t2:mx.olap:OLAPTuple):int

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Returns information about the relative location of two tuples in the set.

Parameters

t1:mx.olap:OLAPTuple — The first tuple.
 
t2:mx.olap:OLAPTuple — The second tuple.

Returns
int — The following:
  • 0 if the tuples are at the same level
  • 1 if t2 is higher than t1
  • -1 if t1 is higher than t2

union

()method 
public function union(secondSet:IOLAPSet):IOLAPSet

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Returns a new IOLAPSet instance that contains a union of this IOLAPSet instance and input.

Parameters

secondSet:IOLAPSet — An IOLAPSet instance.

Returns
IOLAPSet — An IOLAPSet instance that contains a union of this IOLAPSet instance and input.
