Hi Jeff!
Thank you very much for your reply!!

After doing that I get the following error:

that would happen only on an HTTP based AMF channel since RTMP also
encodes its data using AMF, it should see this error too.Probably
sending the output from mx:TraceTarget (in flashlog.txt on the
client) and enabling the level=Debug for the Endpoint.* target in
services-config.xml would contain enough info to track this down.
Feel free to send it to me offlist as that can be a big file

The other things I'd check are that your rpc.swc and fds.swc are of
the right version and match your server version. We added a small
messages feature in LCDS2.6 which uses Externalizable for messages
to make the wrapper smaller. That should be turned off by default
for 2.5.1 clients but maybe something is getting messed up there.
You can turn this off via the enable-small-messages=false flag in
the channel's serialization properties (see resources/config/services-
config.xml for an example).

I rarely use createChildren(). The only time I use createChilren() is when the composite is 100% owned by it's parent containing the creation code. commitProperties() will solve all timing issues if implemented correctly. I'm not quite sure I get what you are asking in the second half but, all item renderers use this algorithm which their state is entirely dependent on the data being pushed into the component either through data or public accessors. This means that children will not be instantiated until the data is present for their instantiation. If this doesn't make sense, try to clarify a bit more. It's probably better practice to create children in createChildren, then use commitProperties to do whatever setting of properties needs to be done, and then use updateDisplayList() to do any layout, and measure() to resolve any sizing issues. These functions are in place for very good reasons, and if you try to circumvent them you have a really good chance of running into problems. For instance, if you put child creation logic in commitProperties(), you are probably going to fail miserably unless you put that logic in _before_ the super.commitProperties(). That's because any children should be created prior to commitProperties. And that's the reason there's a commitProperties() function that's separate from createChildren(). Oh, and if you do anything that edits layout, etc., in commitProperties, you better do it _after_ the super. Guess why? You should try and catch her state changes and defer them until the appropriate moment in the invalidation process. If what's going on is that her logic is affecting public properties or styles that you've exposed on your class, then you just need to make sure that they set a flag and call the right invalidation method so that you can execute at the correct place in the invalidation process.

[flexcoders] coercion fail cannot convert com.event::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to com.event.AdEvent.
Hi All, apologies if this email is repeated I have a Flex project which is loading in a swf file created using AS3, this swf file is broadcasting the adEvent for which i have listener in Flex. When the listener function is being fired i get the following error, cannot convert com.event::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to com.event.AdEvent. This error started to happen once i had a image in my main project, I can't understand why is this error cropping up after i added that image. Also the same case with a singleton class, i was initializing it in Flex and my Flash only code was properly accessing that singleton but it stopped working after i have that image. if in my listener function, i use private function adClicked(event:*):void, it works fine and the event is of type com.event.AdEvent. I am guessing this has something to do how the flex compiler and the flash IDE compiler spit out code differently any help, clarifications would be greatly appreciated.

I'd like to share with all of you who develop enterprise applications this new framework: Aconcagua Flex http://code.google.com/p/aconcagua-flex/ (http://code.google.com/p/aconcagua-flex/). It's aim is to help in building enterprise Flex and AIR applications, and it has beeing designed to be: - Test friendly: Helps to build testeable applications. - Not intrusive. - IoC and dependency injection capabilities. - Stackable: It is not only an MVC framework. It's a layered framework, and you can use the layers that you want separately. - Extensible. - Flexible. - Performant. - Easy to understand: It does not re-invent the wheel. Nothing new if you already know Spring and Cairngorm or PureMVC. - Etc, etc. For those who use maven, it is also available at this repository: http://aconcagua-flex.googlecode.com/svn/repository/releases/ Of course, all feedback is wellcome :-)
Re: [flexcoders] Re: UI component, a set function creationComplete
well big mouth has to say one more thing, Imagine commitProperties() committing property states :) , all of your properties have been committed. Children can be created at any time AFTER super(). What you fail to see is commitProperties() is a glorified createChildren(). This only thing cool about createChildren() is Container calls createComponentDescriptors() which is a heavy method. Other than the above, commitProperties() ALWAYS runs before measure() and updateDisplayList() so there is never a problem with creating children in commitProperties(). But subclassing a UIComponent, give me a break. I was under the impression from Eric's post that his issue was more than just create the children in create children, why the hell would I tell him to circumvent a template method!? Sorry, your post felt a little personal.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex builder annoyance - library projects
This is my #1 annoyance with FB. I can't tell you how many times I've been editing a file and gotten confused because it didn't seem to be compiling (because it wasn't selected in the build path). Or editing one file and confused why it wasn't able to import another (again because the other wasn't in the build path). UGH!

This is especially annoying in a team environment when someone else adds a new class, and I have to explicitly add it in order to get a successful compilation. (I won't even go into the issues I have with the compiler). If you look at how Eclipse handles this, you specify a source folder and then can optionally specify anything that should be excluded from compilation. This way, you can just say my code is here and it picks up everything unless you tell it not to. Even if the compiler needs to know exactly which files to use, I think a nice feature would be to automatically generate that flexLibProperties file for you.
[flexcoders] Extending Flex Builder
I'm extending Flex Builder with my own eclipse plugins. My plugins just compile some of my projects using the OEM compiler. I'm depending on the com.adobe.flexbuilder.flex plugin that exports the OEM compiler packages. So far so good - very straightforward. But now I'm encountering the following issue: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-14801 I'm running in a fully licensed version of FlexBuilder. I've searched the FlexBuilder plugins to find where they're storing the jars mentioned in SDK-14801. I can't seem to find them (some are in the lib directory of the com.adobe.flexbuilder.flex plugin, some are not). Yet the regular FlexBuilder plugins don't encounter this problem.

For IE7 (at least), the following line of code works . . .

the body tag that is already there.

Should it not put the cursor into the textArea and have the 10th through 20th characters selected? Even if you select a range of text with the mouse you will not see the blinking insertion cursor in the textarea. What matters is that your app has focus so that it can receive keyboard actions.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: UI component, a set function creationComplete
Clarification; Children can be created at any time AFTER super(). Since we all design software with a design, any property committal in a super() call has nothing to do with an instance of a child you create in the subclass (this is bad design). Thus, the above logic holds true.

Other than the above, commitProperties() ALWAYS runs before measure() and updateDisplayList() so there is never a problem with creating children in commitProperties().

I am using BitmapAssets to add to a sprite which is printed using

[Embed(source=images/logo.png)]
[Bindable]
public var logo:Class;
...
var bitmapImg:BitmapAsset = new logo() as BitmapAsset;
bitmapImg.smoothing = true;
bitmapImg.setActualSize(500, 42);

This works fine when the image to be added is embedded. Some images I
need to add dynamically. How would I do this?
I've tried using a Loader and doing something like this:
var imgLdr:Loader = new Loader(imgURLReq);
imgLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imgLoaded);
function imgLoaded(e:Event):void{
var eventImg:BitmapAsset = new BitmapAsset;
eventImg.bitmapData = imgLdr.content as BitmapData
eventImg.smoothing = true;
eventImg.setActualSize(300, 200);
sheet.addChild(eventImg);
}
I think I need to do something similar to the static method by loading
the image with a Loader and casting it as a Class, but this is not
working out for me.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

[flexcoders] Ecard Designer in Flex ? How to build one in Flex
Hi enyone have some code or links on the issue?
RE: [flexcoders] need your advice on flash or flex
After reading your spec, I would have some definite questions about the architecture of your app. It sounds a little odd and I'm doubting that what you're thinking will fly in the real world. 1) Is there some server or client side tool to read a .psd and grab and manipulate layers? I've never heard of one, and I'd be interested if such exists. What problem are you trying to solve? Is there some reason your banners must be stored in .psd file? 2) Why are you focused on editing the .fla file and storing it in the DB? I would think that images and text would be loaded into a single .swf at runtime and any data about the image/text would be stored in the DB, not the flash file itself.

[flexcoders] Flex with WebOrb Issues... no build
Hello all.. I've got Flex 3 Builder running on a XP machine with WebOrb for Java installed and the project is using SVN. I am in the process of trying to convert an existing Flex app over to try and run on WebOrb. I was successiful in converting the standalone app (not running on a server) over to run on WebOrb. I did this by manaully updating the .flexProperties to point tothe weborb installation, update the compiler line and added the WebOrb swc reference. All seemed to be working fine. I am having to go through line by line to update code. Some of the data structure being returned through WebOrb is different. I was able to make some changes with no problems until last night. I had the idea to comment out all of Web services call so to get the app up and running with no data being returned. If I tired to run it without the lines commented out, the application aborted. So after running through the whole app and removing the web service commits, I tired to debug.. It opens the browser and then tires to build the workspace.. sits at 0% and nothing ever gets built. If I close out the browser, Flex continues to build.. but never does anything... If I kill the Flex process and try to reponen the project, I get a Java error and Flex crashes... Any ideas?

Regarding The AS3 class takes an argument. For future reference, IMXMLObject implemented as3 classes cannot have arguments in their constructors. As josh said, just shift your constructor logic to a setter and treat it as if it were an argument.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Read XML data in as ArrayCollection
Yes, MyVO would be a custom object that uses strongly typed
properties. This approach it the ideal from a performance standpoint,
since access of strongly typed property values is significantly faster
that either dynamic object properties, or XML.
The blog example you referenced in the other post produces an
ArrayCollection of XML nodes. While this is ok, it kinda does not make
much sense. If XML is ok for the items in the collection, just use
XMLListCollection. A loop is not necessary. But this does not provide
the advantages of a VO (ValueObject), which, in addition to the
performance benefits, allows you to have calculated fields, and special
methods like the fill method I alluded to earlier.
Note, I use XML almost always, unless I need special work in the item
object. I have not had any performance issues with XML. This is
usually reported when scrolling with hundreds of visible itemrenderers

[flexcoders] Re: UI component, a set function creationComplete
--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Michael Schmalle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: well big mouth has to say one more thing, Imagine commitProperties() committing property states :) , all of your properties have been committed. Children can be created at any time AFTER super(). What you fail to see is commitProperties() is a glorified createChildren(). This only thing cool about createChildren() is Container calls createComponentDescriptors() which is a heavy method. Other than the above, commitProperties() ALWAYS runs before measure () and updateDisplayList() so there is never a problem with creating children in commitProperties(). But subclassing a UIComponent, give me a break. I was under the impression from Eric's post that his issue was more than just create the children in create children, why the hell would I tell him to circumvent a template method!? You're right that in UIComponent there's not anything that directly addresses children, except as some of the styling code addresses implicit children. However, as soon as you start dealing with subclasses, you can't really be so sure. And if he's creating children in his commitProperties(), and then he subclasses commitProperties, he (or any developer who comes after him) absolutely will need to know what specific thing he did in his commitProperties(), because any properties that will affect those children will either need to be set before the super(), if they're carried forward into the new children, or after the super(), if they are depending on the children's having already been created in setting properties on them. If you're creating commercial components, I would think that this would already have occurred to you, because it directly impacts whether you can get away with providing your components without source code. And...createChildren() runs _before_ commitProperties. So I'm thinking that creating the children actually later isn't going to help with a problem caused by the children's not existing when the logic runs on the children. The real problem is that something external to the component seems to be trying to reach in and touch something in a way that the component should be controlling. He didn't specify what the exact architecture is, so neither one of us could give him specific suggestions on how to solve the problem. I don't believe, though, that delaying creation of the child components will help his timing issues. Sorry, your post felt a little personal. I wrote it myself :-) -Amy
[flexcoders] Re: UI component, a set function creationComplete
--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Michael Schmalle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Clarification; Children can be created at any time AFTER super(). Since we all design software with a design, any property committal in a super() call has nothing to do with an instance of a child you create in the subclass (this is bad design). Thus, the above logic holds true. But someone subclassing your Class may not have the same understanding of your design that you do, and it is quite common for developers to try to set properties on child objects in commitProperties. I've even been advised to do so in this forum by people I respect. Maybe in retrospect it was a bad idea to take such advice, but new developers are going to continue getting such advice and taking it. So it very much matters where you create children when _other people_ are going to be subclassing your work. -Amy -Amy

If you are using Java on the server, consider RemoteObject for the RPC

As far as not releasing code, this next iteration of products will have
source code, but the template is still the same.
I hear you on the I listen to respected developers on this list but, this
way works even better than how the framework is set up (for subclassing).
Adds more method calls but, it's impact is irrelevant since these calls are
not 100 every minute. I also use this template for other properties that are
not processor intensive or called to frequently.

Children can be created at any time AFTER super().
Since we all design software with a design, any property committal
in a
super() call has nothing to do with an instance of a child you
create in the
subclass (this is bad design). Thus, the above logic holds true.
But someone subclassing your Class may not have the same
understanding of your design that you do, and it is quite common for
developers to try to set properties on child objects in
commitProperties. I've even been advised to do so in this forum by
people I respect. Maybe in retrospect it was a bad idea to take such
advice, but new developers are going to continue getting such advice
and taking it.
So it very much matters where you create children when _other people_
are going to be subclassing your work.

The blog example you referenced in the other post produces an
ArrayCollection of XML nodes. While this is ok, it kinda does not make
much sense. If XML is ok for the items in the collection, just use
XMLListCollection. A loop is not necessary. But this does not provide
the advantages of a VO (ValueObject), which, in addition to the
performance benefits, allows you to have calculated fields, and
special
methods like the fill method I alluded to earlier.
Note, I use XML almost always, unless I need special work in the item
object. I have not had any performance issues with XML. This is
usually reported when scrolling with hundreds of visible itemrenderers

[flexcoders] Advanced Data Grid - LockedRowCount property

Amy,
I have read all that you have written. 2 years of sales, no

So it very much matters where you create children when _other
people_ are
going to be subclassing your work.
I have created a sub template in commitProperties(); That can
be overridden from any subclass since it separates operations into
hooks.
1.
public function set titleBarRenderer(value:IFactory):void
{
if (_titleBarRenderer != value)
{
_titleBarRenderer = value;
titleBarRendererChanged = true;
invalidateProperties();
dispatchEvent(new Event(titleBarRendererChanged));
}
}
This is working with a child that may change over time. So right
there, this is something that needs _more_ than createChildren().
However, I think in most places where this kind of behavior is needed
in the Framework code, a default version of the child is created in
createChildren() so it is available for subclasses to work with in
commitProperties(). There's an implicit assumption on the part of
most developers that all components have been created before
commitProperties() is called, and by not having a child available the
_first_ time commitProperties runs, you may have a developer doing
what he thinks is right and stumbling over your logic.
2.
override public function commitProperties():void
{
super.commitProperties();
if (titleBarRendererChanged)
{
commitTitleBarRenderer();
titleBarRendererChanged = false;
}
}
And all you need to break this is some developer overriding your code
like this:
override public function commitProperties():void
{
if (_styleChanged) {
_titleBar.setStyle('color', 0xFF);
}
super.commitProperties();
}
3.
protected function commitTitleBarRenderer():void
{
createTitleBar();
}
4.
protected function createTitleBar():void
{
_titleBar = PartFactory.createComponentPart(
TITLE_BAR_NAME, this, rawChildren,
DisplayObject(_titleBar));
}
5.
tk_internal function partAdded(name:String, instance:Object):void
{
if (instance == _titleBar )
{
configuration
}
}
As far as not releasing code, this next iteration of products will
have
source code, but the template is still the same.
I hear you on the I listen to respected developers on this list
but, this
way works even better than how the framework is set up (for
subclassing).
...yeah. ;-)
Adds more method calls but, it's impact is irrelevant since these
calls are
not 100 every minute. I also use this template for other properties
that are
not processor intensive or called to frequently.
So far, you've been lucky. Either the developers who use your
components are familiar enough with the right way that they haven't
broken anything, or they're too new to be messing where they
shouldn't. All you need is one intermediate developer charging
through the middle of your code, and you'll have a problem.
And, to get back to the OP, it's clear he was looking for guidance in
best practices. You and I may disagree on when it's ok to bend or
break the rules, but when someone _doesn't_ know the rules, it's
probably better not to jump him to the bending/breaking stage.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How do arguments to an AS3 class translate to MXML?
This wasn't a personal challenge. I didn't say you were wrong, I noted that the mxml interface method had a d on the end. I then said UIComponent has an initialized property like the method in the mxml interface. Writing emails to a forum is kind of relaxing compared to the rest of the day. Maybe you should ask me to clarify better before adding paragraphs unrelated to what I was trying to convey. If I interpreted the question wrong and you can see it (leading a developer down the wrong road), try to clarify the misinterpretation with a question.

[flexcoders] rollOut event
I have a window-like MXML component with a title bar (currently done with VBoxes and HBoxes) and a content area (a Canvas). Rolling over an info icon in the tile bar causes another component to be overlaid (made visible) in the content area. I used rollOver on the info button to make the overlay visible, and I added a rollOut on the root (window-like) component and on the overlay itself to hide the overlay. The puzzling thing is that the root-level rollOut fires when I move the cursor out of the info icon to the right (remaining within the title bar), but not when I move down towards the content area and overlay (even with a gap between the title bar and overlay top). This is actually not a terrible thing, user-experience-wise, but it's not what I expected. Any ideas what's going on? Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: UI component, a set function creationComplete
I know I shouldn't step in here, but I'd like to ask for a cease-fire.
Faithful Flex developers may know that Amy was the guinea pig for Gordon and my
first article in Flex Authority magazine where we discussed the component
lifecycle at length. It makes me happy to see that Amy has absorbed the ins
and outs of the lifecycle and is now one of our top evangelists for how to use
it. Michael has been providing expert advice on this forum for quite a while
now, and I have seldom seen technical errors in his postings.
The lifecycle is a set of rules and there are exceptions to every rule. I
would bet that Michael has figured out where he can bend the rules successfully
and isn't just being lucky, but others of you may want to just follow the
rules. The original poster and others are encouraged to get their hands on a
copy of Flex Authority and familiarize themselves with the lifecycle.
Personally, I use createChildren to create any children I know I'm going to
need. Everything else is created later depending on when I know enough about
which ones and how many to make. ItemRenderers are created as late as
updateDisplayList because that's when we know how many we need.

[flexcoders] code going into a black whole
Hello, I have some strange behavior I'm trying to figure out. It seems like
my code just stops working in mid-loop without giving any errors.
==
public function set pageModel( value:PageModel ): void {
trace('PageCanvas.pageModel = '+value);
if( _pageModel != value ) {
_pageModel = value;
this.width = _pageModel.width;
this.height = _pageModel.height;
this.removeAllChildren();
for each( var elementModel:IPageElementModel in _pageModel.elements ) {
trace('This happens!');
var newElement:IElementControl =
_docManager.getNewElementInstance(elementModel);
trace('But this does not!');
this.addChild( DisplayObject(newElement) );
}
trace('End of the line.');
}
}
==
trace output:
==
PageCanvas.pageModel = [object PageModel]
This happens!
DocManager.getNewElementInstance
==
So it seams that everything stops after the call to getNewElementInstance.
Is it because I'm doing all this stuff in a setter? If this is the case,
what would be the appropriate way to recreate all the children when the
underlying data model changes?
Thanks for any input!

Re: [flexcoders] code going into a black whole
If your method gets invoked by a binding, the binding code will swallow most
errors so you never see them. It's rather annoying when you're losing an
error, but without it binding would be pretty much useless. Some sort of
BindingUtils.logThrownErrors = true feature would be nice :)

Re: [flexcoders] code going into a black whole
Yup, looks like the binding was swallowing up the error so there didn't
appear to be any problem. I ended up just scrapping all the code in the
setter and dispatched an event instead. When that code was executed in the
listener, I was getting a runtime error. All fixed now.
Thanks for the insight on binding. I will know to be more careful with my
setters now.
