[flexcoders] Casting Problem.. Type Coercion Failed
Hii am writing a simple application where for logging in, am checking the values against the value objects contained in an ArrayCollection. While if((evt.userVO.email == ModelLocator.ALL_USERS[i].email) (evt.userVO.pwd == ModelLocator.ALL_USERS[i].pwd)) returns true, then why it throws this Type coercion error at this following line: model.currentUser = ModelLocator.ALL_USERS[i]; //UserVO(ModelLocator.ALL_USERS[i]); currentUser is type UserVO and ALL_USERS is a collection of UserVO objects. I had tried by explicitely casting the above line(as commented), but still the same. Here is the error, I received while debugging: Explicit casting:- TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert [EMAIL PROTECTED] to com.live.flats.vo.UserVO. at com.live.flats.commands::LoginInfoCommand/execute()[F:\xampp\htdocs\flats\flex_src\com\live\flats\commands\LoginInfoCommand.as:60] at com.adobe.cairngorm.control::FrontController/executeCommand()[C:\dev\swat\projects\ac_emea\Cairngorm\com\adobe\cairngorm\control\FrontController.as:215] at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at com.adobe.cairngorm.control::CairngormEventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()[C:\dev\swat\projects\ac_emea\Cairngorm\com\adobe\cairngorm\control\CairngormEventDispatcher.as:113] at com.adobe.cairngorm.control::CairngormEvent/dispatch()[C:\dev\swat\projects\ac_emea\Cairngorm\com\adobe\cairngorm\control\CairngormEvent.as:77] at com.live.flats.view::LoginPanelBar/loginUser()[F:\xampp\htdocs\flats\flex_src\com\live\flats\view\LoginPanelBar.mxml:29] at com.live.flats.view::LoginPanelBar/__loginButton_click()[F:\xampp\htdocs\flats\flex_src\com\live\flats\view\LoginPanelBar.mxml:74] Implicit Casting:- TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert [EMAIL PROTECTED] to com.live.flats.vo.UserVO. at com.live.flats.commands::LoginInfoCommand/execute()[F:\xampp\htdocs\flats\flex_src\com\live\flats\commands\LoginInfoCommand.as:60] at com.adobe.cairngorm.control::FrontController/executeCommand()[C:\dev\swat\projects\ac_emea\Cairngorm\com\adobe\cairngorm\control\FrontController.as:215] at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at com.adobe.cairngorm.control::CairngormEventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()[C:\dev\swat\projects\ac_emea\Cairngorm\com\adobe\cairngorm\control\CairngormEventDispatcher.as:113] at com.adobe.cairngorm.control::CairngormEvent/dispatch()[C:\dev\swat\projects\ac_emea\Cairngorm\com\adobe\cairngorm\control\CairngormEvent.as:77] at com.live.flats.view::LoginPanelBar/loginUser()[F:\xampp\htdocs\flats\flex_src\com\live\flats\view\LoginPanelBar.mxml:29] at com.live.flats.view::LoginPanelBar/__loginButton_click()[F:\xampp\htdocs\flats\flex_src\com\live\flats\view\LoginPanelBar.mxml:74] Any help would be great.

Re: [flexcoders] New to flex, wonder why one works and the other doesn't...
Right. Image is a UIComponent, and TextArea is a UIComponent.
UIComponent's can't contain other UIComponents without being a
subclass of Container or implementing the IContainer interface. Not a
simple task.
addChild() is defined in DisplayObject which apart of the Flash API
not the Flex API. BitmapAsset is a sublcass of DisplayObject and not
UIComponent. So you can add it to the text area directly using this
code:
var img : BitmapAsset = new imgCls() as BitmapAsset;
img.x = txtArea.mouseX;
img.y = txtArea.mouseY;
txtArea.addChild( img );
Now, try that out, and you'll start to see some issues that you'll
have to asess if this is going to work for what you're trying to do.
Since the bitmap is not apart of the document in the TextArea you are
going to get clipping or scrolling. If you want to do that you'll
have to get really dirty with the TextArea API. Probably even
ditching TextArea altogether and writing your own, or modifying rich
text editor.

Here is this renderer implementation:
DistRenderer.mxml

mx:VBox xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; width=100%
height=100% paddingLeft=16 verticalAlign=middle

Re: [flexcoders] Re: What next after getting FLEX ?
I don't think anyone said you have to learn linux. Use Windows. If you're comfortable with IIS use that. Try and follow some basic tutorials - they often include installation instructions - and get small things working. Don't try and do everything at once. It's the road to disaster. Tackle the small hill before you head for the mountain. The very best thing to do is to settle on a small database tutorial and follow it through. Then experiment with what you have built.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex drag n drop, zoom issue
It crossed my mind that you might be doing something like this. can I
recommend an alternate solution? Use a canvas/container to host your plan
_and_ all of your placed objects - then just set the scaleX/scaleY of that
canvas/container. If you do it this way - you won't have to worry about
object placement or spacing.

Actually it is a canvas, and I am placing the objects on the canvas, I tried
setting the plan image as background of canvas also.
And if I change only the canvas scaleX and scaleY the placed object is not
zooming properly.
If you look at the source you will see this.

Re: [flexcoders] Drilldown ideas
I think you're asking what's the best UI metaphor for displaying hierarchal data from a dataGrid. While popup windows are cheap and easy. This work well if your user will be edtting the data once they see it. The Ok-Cancel metaphor on the popup window makes editing easy to use. Adding editing with these other options can be difficult. However, I think navigating around in data they are pain, plus the pop always is smaller than your screen real estate of your main window. I favor more a fluid UI by dividing the UI into the dataGrid on top and the content on bottom. Click a row displays the data in the bottom panel. You can orient the two areas anyway you like. Left and right if your data lends itself to being displayed easily that way. But, with tables they always seem less cramped if it's a top bottom orientation. This way your users can quickly navigate through the data and see the content with one window. If the bottom portion doesn't have enough space. Surround your table in a tab UI, then allow them to open up the content in a sibling tab so that they have all the screen space they need. And, that allows for a quick bookmark like work flow allowing the user to refer back to previously found objects. TreeTable grids work if the columns of the table match the columns you'll display when you drill down on a row. If the UI shown for drill down has different data requirements than the table's you'll find it too limiting or akward to display other types of data in the table. Ultimately, TreeTables can limit your ability to modify the UI in the future.

[flexcoders] Flex / Air sharewware app: what database to use in network environment?
I've sold a Windows based shareware application using a FoxPro database for years and now it's time to give it much needed RIA. I was excited to hear when Flex 3 was released it supported SQLite, but it's not meant to be a network shared database. My shareware app generally has anywhere from 25 users to 500+ users per network install. The beauty of the current version is it is easy to setup and install, even for non IT users. What would be the good database to use with Flex or AIR? I could create .Net web services with SQL, but this would take more time to setup and install for potential buyers and of course more support on my end. The install would require the user to setup IIS and SQL. Could be tricky if they don't already have SQL running. I could create a hosted db, maybe something with Google or Amazon, but this would require a large learning curve. Is there anything close to SQLite for networks? Or is there something else I should consider? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Since the bitmap is not apart of the document in the TextArea you are

[flexcoders] Re: How to convert a powerpoint to AS3 swf for loading in Flex?
I've tried a few possible solutions. First I tried using LocalConnection to get the Flex app to speak to an AS2 wrapper. This works, but it's got the limitation that the app can only have one instance running because multiple instances cause the LocalConnection names to collide. There are ways around this (create the LC name based on some variant of the app start timecode) but it's not pretty. Next solution I tried worked pretty well, at least for my situation. I created an AS2 wrapper that connects to a flash communications server. The Flex app passes the FMS URL to the wrapper via the calling address (i.e. wrapper.swf?url=fmsURL) and the wrapper moves the playhead around based on a sharedObject slide number set by the Flex app. A weird problem from this was that the as2 flash wrapper could load the file fine and move around fine, but could never return to the first frame after moving away from it. Any thoughts on why that might happen would be appreciated. Finally, and most successfully, I started playing with print2flash which can convert a ppt to a swf and has a flex component that can open that swf and move around it. It's early stages right now, but it seems to do everything I need, with API calls for moving from one page to another, zooming, scrolling, etc. The Pro edition is $80 and there's a server edition that has an automation API, letting you integrate conversion into your application. Very cool. Anyone facing this powerpoint to Flex problem should take a look to see if this meets your needs.

This seems to make it impossible to control the slides because the SWF has to load as an AVM1Movie. Does anyone know of any tools that convert to Flash 9 format, or some other way to create an AS3 swf out of a ppt file? Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Multiple filtered views on one source ArrayCollection
Normally I'd agree, but my problem is the sourceCollection is being set via a binding long before it gets populated, and an ArrayCollection doesn't like it when you change .source behind its back. I also don't know if there's any conditions where the implementation of ArrayCollection will replace its own .source with a new Array instance, which would definitely kill the connection to any other ArrayCollection instances. -J On Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 9:59 AM, Richard Rodseth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Array collection has a publicly-accessible source Array property and filterFunction property.

[flexcoders] [Bindable], get and set functions and debugging - an idea or two to make it a little nicer
Hey guys, say I have the following:
[Bindable]
public function get foo() : Foo {...}
public function set foo(v : Foo) : Void {...}
When I'm single-stepping through something that calls obj.foo =
fooInstance() the debugger tells me I'm in set foo, but highlights get
foo. Now I understand why this is happening, due to the compile-time voodoo
required for the generic [Bindabe] tag, but for newbs this would probably be
fairly intimidating.
It'd be really good if there was some sort of metadata included when
compiling debug versions that flags a specific method as compile-time
generated in the debugger stack trace or something along those lines.
Or a compile-time warning telling you to put [Bindable] on set rather than
get, despite it being counter-intuitive (does it even work?).
Maybe a compile-time warning telling you you're better off using the event=
form of [Bindable] when using get/set, which I assume doesn't require any
compile-time hijinks?
Just having the debugger smart enough to recognise these generated functions
and do something more appropriate. If you step into a [Bindable] setter you
end up single stepping through code you can't see on screen until it calls
set _generatedFooName() or whatever it happens to be that contains your
actual code. Confusing to say the least!
Maybe another window showing the .as intermediary code that's generated
between mxml and swf?

[flexcoders] Re: New to flex, wonder why one works and the other doesn't...
Guys, sorry, but that's not quite right. UIComponents can contain
other UIComponents without being a container. It is a common use
case. Take a look at the simple example Adobe includes with their
docs:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.h
tm?href=1742.html
You will notice that the mocal text component is a UIComponent but
it contains a button and a text area... both UIComponents.
The difference is that containers like Canvas have the logic to size
and position any child they contain by default. UIComponent does
not. So, in a UIComponent descendant, you need to write code to size
and position every child or they will exist as 0 width and 0 height
component.

image, I cannot get the image to show up when added to the text
area's
display list, but it does show just fine when added to the root
display list. I also added the image to the textArea using
addChildAt(txtIcon, txtArea.numChildren) with no change in
effect.
The second method works just fine. I imagine that the problem has
something to do with applying the image as a byte array to
image.source, but I wonder why exactly? Is this a bug?
Thanks in advance,

[flexcoders] Air App - Check connection
Hi Guys, I'm creating an Air Application that has to check the connections to a server. So when there's connection to the server, it retrieves XMLs through HTTPservice from my backend and if there's no connection , it should retrieve XMLs from local disk. Reading xml is no problem in both ways, but whats the best way to create the connection checking logic.?? Thanks - Indra

Hi,
I've encountered the following problem when using BitmapData as
source for mx:Image:
mx:Image width=176 height=144 id=imgDisplay
scaleContent=true
maintainAspectRatio=true
maxWidth=176
maxHeight=144

This Image component is a Renderer for a TileList which is used to
show a list of images. The DataProvider to the TileList is a class
ThumbnailData - which stores thumbBmpData: BitmapData.
I have no problem displaying the images when the BitmapData is
176x144.
However, when any one of the image changes its BitmapData to a
bigger
size (e.g. 352x288)
- that image suddenly expands to 352x288; instead of getting
scaled
to fit into 176x144.
Anyone encountered this problem before?
Thank you very much.

RE: [flexcoders] SWFLoader doesn't fire complete event
You could also try adding a listener to the SWFLoader for the complete
event in the initialize or preinitialize event. Since both your complete
event and source are defined in mxml, if the source loads really
quickly, you probably will miss the event. Try:
mx:SWFLoader id=thisSWF source='@Embed(source=deleteme.swf)'
preinitialize=thisSWF.addEventListener('complete', onComplete) /

Re: [flexcoders] Re: BitmapData source for mx:Image
This is a guess, but:
When the binding updates the bitmapData on your mx:bitmap, it's not updating
the width and height of that mx:bitmap component. The Image see the
mx:bitmap is the same size, so paints it directly in rather than scaling it
to fit.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex drag n drop, zoom issue
Right. I don't have the time to fix your application for you - but I do have
time to give you a quickie example that will set you in the right direction.
This example works as-is if you replace the house_plans.png and couch.png
images. The 'take-aways' are listed below the example.
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute
mx:Script
![CDATA[
private function doZoom():void
{
myCanvas.scaleX = myCanvas.scaleY = ( myZoomer.value / 100
);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:VSlider x=414 y=151 minimum=10 maximum=100
snapInterval=5 liveDragging=true id=myZoomer change=doZoom();
value=100/
mx:Canvas x=439 y=151 width=400 height=400 id=myHolder
mx:Canvas id=myCanvas horizontalScrollPolicy=off
verticalScrollPolicy=off
mx:Image source=house_plans.png/
mx:Image x=62 y=26 source=couch.png/
/mx:Canvas
/mx:Canvas
/mx:Application
Key Take-aways:
#1 - a container in container approach helps eliminate scroll bar scaling
issues
#2 - a container in container approach helps reduce the number of scalable
objects you have to keep track of to one (myCanvas - children should be
added here)
#3 - position of all objects is maintained without having to after-manage
coordinates
How you manage the size/ratio of objects after you get this all setup.
should probably be done just setting the unscaledWith and unscaledHeight
appropriately.

Somehow the objects that got created did not get created as the proper UserVO objects. So check the collection when it gets set, it's not getting set right. If you're using AMF then you might need to include a reference to the UserVO class so the compiler knows to include it, otherwise it won't get deserialized right. If you're using some other method (like loading XML, etc) then make sure in the parsing of the data that you are explicitly creating UserVO objects.

[flexcoders] MXML syntax suggestion - worth adding a feature request for Fx4?
Just wanna test the waters and see what people think before I clog up
adobe's pipeline with yet another request :)
What about a non-binding evaluation syntax for MXML? OpenLaszlo (shudder)
lets you do
element attr=${ foo }/
Which is a binding, and:
element attr=$once{ foo }/
Which is executed once. I imagine we'd want it done either post
instantiation, or before creationComplete. I think it'd be useful for
constants, as well as calling functions that return a closure to generate
things like labelFunctions, sortFunctions, etc.
Not sure on the syntax or exact execution time, but I think it's hella
useful. I'd definitely want a compile-time warning if you point it to a
variable or a function that returns a variable (rather than an immutable
primitive or another function).
Ideas? Feedback?
Love it / Hate it / It's already in there you douchebag?

Re: [flexcoders] The different between generial Flex 3 and Flex 3 Profesional?
wow :) I only joined Microsoft in 2007 (prior to which I was on this list coding away in Flex since this list was born), I don't know what we did prior to 2007 nor do I really care (can't change the past, can only influence the future!), suffice to say while I'm on the job, the tactics and strategies aren't underhanded and the compete is kept clean (which we have been really good about). That being said, when I see assumptions or inaccurate information being presented in a forum (couldn't care as to what theme or where) i'll simply step forward, make sure our opinion is heard and step back. I don't draw battle lines, I don't buy into this is our gangs turf, go to your own mentality as to me it just is a waste of brain matter to think in that mode. Suffice to say, should you still think it's not appropriate, Adobe Staffers have done similar posts to this on Silverlight related forums?

It doesn't bother me that folks dislike Silverlight or say negative things about it, if it's not for you, great, enjoy Flex and all the best.

RE: [flexcoders] SWFLoader doesn't fire complete event
I'd have to double-check, but I don't think @Embed's generate a complete
event since it isn't an external asynchronous load.

You could also try adding a listener to the SWFLoader for the complete
event in the initialize or preinitialize event. Since both your complete
event and source are defined in mxml, if the source loads really
quickly, you probably will miss the event. Try:
mx:SWFLoader id=thisSWF source='@Embed(source=deleteme.swf)'
preinitialize=thisSWF.addEventListener('complete', onComplete) /

Subject: [flexcoders] SWFLoader doesn't fire complete event
I have problems with getting the 'complete' event to occur in an
application I'm working on, so I wrote this:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.events.*;
import mx.controls.Alert;
public function onComplete():void {
Alert.show('Complete!', '', Alert.OK, this);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:SWFLoader source='@Embed(source=deleteme.swf)'
complete='onComplete()' /
/mx:Application
This doesn't work either. If I can see the swf on the screen, then why
don't I get the 'complete' event?

What happen is, i have to create branches on the fly, dynamically whenever i dragover a item. here is the code to do that (anyone think in a better solution?) var currNodeOver:TreeItemRenderer = TreeItemRenderer(indexToItemRenderer(calculateDropIndex(event))); if (currNodeOver == null) return; [EMAIL PROTECTED] = true; expandItem(currNodeOver.data,true, true); What is happening is along the drag and drop, an item has been duplicated somehow. I have cleaned the code on the point to leave just that 4 lines on my extended tree and guess what? still happens. so i'm not sure if it's a tree bug or is something wrong with those lines, but sometimes (and it doesnt happen everytime) when i drag a children from a branch it duplicates, which mean that the one i was dragging does not move. I'm not sure if i'm being clear, but i hope i can get some help on that cause i just lost a couple days trying to fix it. Here is some screen shot of what's happening.

Re: [flexcoders] The different between generial Flex 3 and Flex 3 Profesional?
Hi Scott, Wow . Well maybe. I'm trying to make my mind up about whether I should really be bothered about your presence or not. As I said in another post, I've seen similar things in another technical area and the helpful posts were more about promotion of the rival technology rather than really helping the community. In the case in question the helpful posts contained very valid information for the community, particularly at first, but gradually the posts had subtexts inferring the superiority of the rival product and even at one stage offers of discounting to encourage people to jump ship. Then, as here, the poster was an expert in using both technologies and had many personal friends on the forum: no mistake about it the guy was loved by the community he left and really he was exploiting the situation to grow users of his product. His interventions split the community badly and eventually he desisted. Anyway, that gives an idea of where I come from. That particular forum often has discussions about the merits of the two products involved and generally it's not provocative. I'm not saying that you are behaving as this guy did, but for me there's an echo of what happened elsewhere. Seeing your posts really unsettled me. Maybe I'm wrong. Given your position at Microsoft, it's inevitable that your aim must be to encourage users of rival technologies to adopt your technologies. If you don't have that aim Microsoft recruited the wrong person. As impartial as you may try to be in your posts they effectively are an infomercial. I have no idea if Adobe staff are regularly correcting misconceptions on Silverlight forums. If they are, as a silverlight user, I'd have similar feelings. Ultimately developers will cross over and mix technologies and I'm not bothered about that. It's when the actual parties get involved that I get nervous. I think I've made my point, as have you and others. I'm going to let things be. Just don't offer any discounts here for Silverlight for Flex developers.. ;-) Paul - Original Message - From: Scott Barnes To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, June 02, 2008 6:04 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] The different between generial Flex 3 and Flex 3 Profesional? wow :) I only joined Microsoft in 2007 (prior to which I was on this list coding away in Flex since this list was born), I don't know what we did prior to 2007 nor do I really care (can't change the past, can only influence the future!), suffice to say while I'm on the job, the tactics and strategies aren't underhanded and the compete is kept clean (which we have been really good about).
