[flexcoders] Re: Cannot Tab to MovieClips from Flash SWF Loaded with SWFLoader
I found a different solution through trial and error after looking at the IFocus* classes. I'm cautiously optimistic that I have this working... I had to roll my own FocusManager and replace the Application's FocusManager with my own and activate it. I also had to roll my own UIMovieClip classe and set my UIMovieClip as the base class for all MovieClips in the Flash SWF with a bit of JSFL -- this much I can make the Designers do (use a command when they publish). I basically altered FocusManager.addFocusables so that I could add MC's manually and ensure that the UIMovieClips could receive focus, and altered the UIMovieClip subclass to add the MC to it's own list of focusableObjects list. Now the SWFLoader adds the MC's in the SWF to the main application's FocusManager's list of items to tab through on load, and removes them on unload. This was a major PITA, but the focus appears to be working correctly now. Thanks for the point in the right direction! I seriously owe you one!

The polling-enabled property mentioned in the Channel docs is actually handled by the PollingChannel subclass. NetConnection extends PollingChannel, and does not reference any new properties. AMFChannel extends NetConnection. The AMFChannel docs say that the config file's property called polling-interval-seconds is read into the AMFChannel.pollingInterval property. Also, the docs say that the polling-enabled property in the config file sets the AMFChannel.pollingEnabled property. As I discovered, PollingChannel handles these properties, not AMFChannel. Should I log a bug?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Padding/spacing before the first line in a TextArea
You can't manually remove that padding from the field. It's built into the field as the ascent of the font + 4 pixels for the natural field border (which also cannot be 'removed'). There are only two ways to shift up a field in Flash: Method 1: a. Bitmap snapshot of the text field b. getColorRectBounds on the bitmap in question to retrieve a bounding rectangle of the non-alpha pixels. c. Capture the top position from the Rectangle returned from that call and subtract that value from the y-position of the field. Pros: Will work every time Cons: Additional memory overhead. Tricky to do with the Flex component architecture - especially TextArea Method 2: a. Capture font metrics from the text field b. Subtract (metrics.ascent + 4) from the text field y position. It is the ascent measurement, not descent. Pros: Less memory and less code to deal with. Cons: Will not work every time. Ascent and descent measurements from the font metrics within Flash are not accurate measurements and are only correct at very, very specific font sizes (8, 12, 17, 28, 36, 44 ... etc.). Almost all point sizes of text return incorrect ascent and descent values in Flash. They usually return values less than they really are (7,8,9 point type will return the same ascent value for most fonts, for example). Additionally, you'll still need to extend TextArea to handle the functionality. Does not function well at all with advanced antialiasing ... also a known bug in the Flash text rendering. Saffron antialiasing causes a jump in the leading and position values of lines in a field, so don't use it. -- This has been a long standing bug that I've been complaining to Adobe about. I've worked on applications for some big greeting card companies (take a couple guesses) creating a rendering system in Flash that will match Photoshop and Illustrator text rendering. Illustrator, btw, is the only Adobe application that let's you set the first baseline position of a text field using a variety of measures.

Regaring the modelling of a domain, you should wrap your collection (Array, ListCollectionView, ArrayCollection, XMLListCollection...) in your own collection type.

Your app will probably perform better if you don't try to build the
whole tree at once.
But you might want to google on recursion. Essentially, the
principle is to use a function that works on an object in such a way
that if the object has children, the function will call itself again
for each child. That's not as difficult as it sounds, once you get
your head around it--you just have to trust the recursion to do its
thing and not force it. Probably someone has even posted some
recursive PHP examples.
Another way to approach it is to use the composite pattern and just
populate the first level of objects, then once each object is
instantiated it will start pulling down its own children and so on.
This is sort of how I handle it, but I didn't make it where that
always happens automatically so that if those resources are needed
for something else the process can be interrupted.
Oh, and one last thing...if your database technology isn't set in
stone, you might want to consider using SQL Server, because Shape
queries are made for this. AFAIK, other databases don't have
anything that does this quite so nicely.

When you do that, you need to use something like: private var myEventDispatcher : IEventDispatcher = new EventDispatcher(this); My experience with this is that occasionally that will run before the constructor and you'll get an error--it seems to be safer to put the assignment statement inside the constructor, even though it makes it a PIA to have boilerplate IEventDispatcher code that you copy in when you want to add event dispatching.
[flexcoders] Re: How does Flex Builder validate a BlazeDS/LCDS J2EE project?
Cornel,
Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I realized I was checking the
wrong directory for disk activity. Flex Builder does not probe the
Root Folder that Flex Builder presents in Project Properties / Flex
Server, it probes the deployment folder, which resides in the workspace.
My test setup is:
Root folder:
C:\sites\slinnbooks.com\www\production\webapps\ROOT\books\serverSide\examples\blazeDS\echoTest\echoServer\WebContent
Root URL: http://localhost:8080/echoServer/ (this works ... serves up
content properly)
Context Root: /echoServer
The server project folder is of course:
C:\sites\slinnbooks.com\www\production\webapps\ROOT\books\serverSide\examples\blazeDS\echoTest\echoServer
The BlazeDS client folder is
C:\sites\slinnbooks.com\www\production\webapps\ROOT\books\serverSide\examples\blazeDS\echoTest\echoClient
The Eclipse workspace is: C:\work\eclipseWorkspaces\Europa2

[flexcoders] Nested ADG height/scroll question
I'm building an app which utilizes nested ADGs to provide a drill down interface to my data. It works great in concept, but the problem I'm up against is trying to size the datagrids so they display all their rows, forcing any rows below them to move down (without creating any unnecessary space.) Basically, I just want to avoid scrollbars, except on the parent ADG. I'm just not quite sure where to start looking - is this a style thing, or should I be overriding measure/updateDisplaylist to handle this?

Re: [flexcoders] application structure
Hi Tom. I am in exactly the same situation as yourself. I am farely new to flex and have now found myself at a stage where I want to begin developing larger apps that can scale. From the reading I have done around the topic and from what I have heard others saying then Pure MVC is a good option to take. My understanding is that Cairgorm is very flex specific where as Pure MVC is not ( please correct me if im wrong ) it woudl sound sensible to then go for the Cairgorm option. However I believe Cairgrom is much more difficult to get your head around so decided not to try and go straight for Pure MVC. Just another option for ya. Hope that helps. Barry. Jules Suggate wrote: Hi Tom, You've hit on one of the classic anti-patterns of Flex programming: Application.application.blah type stuff. While this is regrettably somewhat 'normal', that doesn't mean it's ok :) As you probably have guessed, it leads to code that is really hard to change later on as it is all tangled up with itself. The solution is to use one of the application patterns that have been studied by the GUI programming community in general (not just Flex programmers) ... such as MVC (Model-View-Controller). Martin Fowler is one of the canonical sources on this stuff: http://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/uiArchs.html http://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/uiArchs.html Mate, Parsley or Cairngorm are open-source Flex frameworks that implement the shell of one or more GUI patterns to save us all re-inventing the wheel. Realistically, most people learn the patterns by using one of these frameworks or their cousins (there are more, I'm just giving a few that are currently flavour of the month). Cairngorm has been getting a bad rap lately due to testability of the resulting application (or lack thereof), but it's deeply embedded in the Flash community (for better or worse). Martin Fowler et al will give you an academic understanding, introduce you to some code (Martin Fowler uses C# WinForms), explain the finer points and describe several variations that you may or may not find interesting.

[flexcoders] Pattern for capturing multi-key/click actions?
I would like to add multi-key/click functionality to my Flex app. There are a couple of slightly different examples of what I mean: 1. Detect when a user is holding down the 'r' key while clicking a button. 2. Detect when a certain component has focus and the user types the letters 'd' 's' in succession within a few seconds of each other. I noticed there are properties in the MouseEvent class to detect things like shift,ctrl and alt keys but I need to detect more than just those. Additionally those properties don't exist in other event classes like ItemClickEvent. What I have done so far is simply create a state object at the application level that captures all keyboard/mouse events and sets the state of itself based on the events. Individual components can check the current state at any time to determine which keys/mouse actions are currently active. I don't particularly like this implementation for many reasons and was hoping someone knew of a pattern to use considering many applications support such functionality (Eclipse comes to mind). Thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: Programmatically managing BlazeDS ServerConfig
That produces a null result, as it should. The problem seems to be
with the call to ServerConfig.getChannel(channelName). As I trace
through the call, I see a call to ServerConfig.createChannel('my-amf').
It evaluates xml.channels.channel.(@id == channelId); which of course
returns nothing because the appropriate E4X expression for the
supplied data should be
xml.channels.elements(channel-definition).(@id == channelId).
The only way I could imagine this working is if the XML were
rewritten, converting all 'channel-definition' elements to 'channel'
elements - or perhaps something along the call chain discards the
remainder of the element name when it encounters a dash.
I tested this out by renaming the channel-definition elements to
channel, and modifying the E4X expression to suit, but createChannel()
fails due to an empty string returned from the call to
channelConfig.attribute(CLASS_ATTR).toString(). CLASS_ATTR is defined
as type, and an attribute with that name is optional.
What's the secret?

PollingChannel extends Channel, and it references the following config file properties: polling-enabled polling-interval-millis polling-interval-seconds piggybacking-enabled login-after-disconnect None of the above properties are mentioned in the PollingChannel docs. The polling-enabled property mentioned in the Channel docs is actually handled by the PollingChannel subclass. NetConnection extends PollingChannel, and does not reference any new properties. AMFChannel extends NetConnection. The AMFChannel docs say that the config file's property called polling-interval-seconds is read into the AMFChannel.pollingInterval property. Also, the docs say that the polling-enabled property in the config file sets the AMFChannel.pollingEnabled property. As I discovered, PollingChannel handles these properties, not AMFChannel.

(OK to ask Gumbo questions?)When an .fxg file is loaded into FxApplication and added to a Group, and that Group is then added to FxApplication, array mxmlContent[0] contains the .fxg Graphic object, whose child Groups can be accessed directly by name: displayGroup.mxmlContent[0].myGroup1 However I cannot access mxmlContent[0] with getChildAt() etc, nor can I work out how to extract out references to mxmlContent[0] into another array etc so a list can be displayed where a Group object might be selected. Can find no info on mxmlContent :-( code: testFXG.fxg contains group id=myGroup1, group id=myGroup2 etc private var displayGroup:Group; displayGroup = new Group(); var source: testFXG= new testFXG(); displayGroup.addItem(source); addItem(displayGroup); breakpoint shows: displayGroup [inherited] mxmlContent [0] myGroup1 myGroup2 etc code: private var testGroup:Group; testGroup = displayGroup.mxmlContent[0].myGroup1; - this is a good reference and can be used to change myGroup1.x, myGroup1.y etc. However as stated above I cannot get a reference to e.g. the 3rd child etc. As always, TIA, Mic.
[flexcoders] How many classes are there in flex 3 framework?
Its kinda a random question, but anyone know approx. how many classes there are in the entire flex framework? I'm trying to optimizing the size of my SWF filesize and I ran a link- report. I'm not sure exactly how to interpret it, but I did notice that I have external-defs on about 45 different classes. Which I don't think is very much, but I want to put it into some sort of context by knowing how many total classes there are in the flex framework. Thanks. --Deven

The main reason you would want to create an instance of EventDispatcher itself is when you're building a class that is an IEventDispatcher, but inherits from a base class that is not an IEventDispatcher, because we don't have multiple inheritance in AS3. When you do that, you need to use something like: private var myEventDispatcher : IEventDispatcher = new EventDispatcher(this); My experience with this is that occasionally that will run before the constructor and you'll get an error--it seems to be safer to put the assignment statement inside the constructor, even though it makes it a PIA to have boilerplate IEventDispatcher code that you copy in when you want to add event dispatching. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Alternative FAQ location: https://share.acrobat.com/adc/document.do?docid=942dbdc8-e469-446f-b4cf-1e62079f6847 Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.comYahoo!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Padding/spacing before the first line in a TextArea
This has been a long standing bug that I've been complaining to Adobe about. The new Text Layout Framework that Gumbo components use gives you control over the vertical placement of the first line. Gordon Smith Adobe Flex SDK Team From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Jon Bradley Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 7:46 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Padding/spacing before the first line in a TextArea You can't manually remove that padding from the field. It's built into the field as the ascent of the font + 4 pixels for the natural field border (which also cannot be 'removed'). There are only two ways to shift up a field in Flash: Method 1: a. Bitmap snapshot of the text field b. getColorRectBounds on the bitmap in question to retrieve a bounding rectangle of the non-alpha pixels. c. Capture the top position from the Rectangle returned from that call and subtract that value from the y-position of the field. Pros: Will work every time Cons: Additional memory overhead. Tricky to do with the Flex component architecture - especially TextArea Method 2: a. Capture font metrics from the text field b. Subtract (metrics.ascent + 4) from the text field y position. It is the ascent measurement, not descent. Pros: Less memory and less code to deal with. Cons: Will not work every time. Ascent and descent measurements from the font metrics within Flash are not accurate measurements and are only correct at very, very specific font sizes (8, 12, 17, 28, 36, 44 ... etc.). Almost all point sizes of text return incorrect ascent and descent values in Flash. They usually return values less than they really are (7,8,9 point type will return the same ascent value for most fonts, for example). Additionally, you'll still need to extend TextArea to handle the functionality. Does not function well at all with advanced antialiasing ... also a known bug in the Flash text rendering. Saffron antialiasing causes a jump in the leading and position values of lines in a field, so don't use it. -- This has been a long standing bug that I've been complaining to Adobe about. I've worked on applications for some big greeting card companies (take a couple guesses) creating a rendering system in Flash that will match Photoshop and Illustrator text rendering.

I have: myPlayer.addEventListener( VideoEvent.COMPLETE, flexPlayerComplete); Could this be because the interval is too slow??? and misses it? Instead, I'm getting a seek event and the video repeats itself, and then I get the Complete event??? thanks,

Not every .as file is a class. If I had time, I would rename the .swc to

[flexcoders] Is Flex the wrong technology for widgets? SWF file sizes are too big...
Hey guys, I recently posted a thread on a popular widget platform site to get developer feedback. Basically, I've created a widget using Flex technology, and since I cannot get the SWF file size down to a size 100KB I'm wondering if Flex was the wrong technology for my project. I'm not very familiar with Flash, so I don't know how small I could get the file size for a comparable solution in Flash. Below is the original thread. --- I've created a widget using Adobe's Flex technology which has a SWF file size of approx. 350KB. I've optimized the widget using all the techniques I could find such as: compiler flags, not embedding assets into the SWF, dynamic loading of modules, etc. Assuming 350KB is the smallest I can get my SWF file, is this still too big to distribute as a widget? Here are two distribution strategies we are looking at: 1.) Put the widget on a majority of the pages on our website so when users come to our website they will see the widget and download it. This will be great for distribution, but currently, our website gets a good deal of traffic (Alexa top 10,000 ranking website). And, all of the pages on our website are around 60-150KB, and there is a lot of worry that a 350KB widget will weigh down the page too much and make it very slow when loading. There is also concern that adding an additional 350KB will greatly impact our bandwidth costs since many users will hit these pages. 2.) Create a widget gallery on our website where our users can go to grab the widget and put it on their MySpace, Facebook, etc. This will keep the rest of the pages on our website light and fast, but the distribution of the widget will get severely impacted. I want to know what other developers are doing in similar situations. Is Flex the wrong technology for creating widgets? What are some avg size SWF files that other widget developers are creating? If a 150KB page has an additional 350KB flex widget, is it going to greatly impact the loading time? Thanks in advance for your advice!
RE: [flexcoders] Is Flex the wrong technology for widgets? SWF file sizes are too big...
(so I don't know) how small I could get the file size for a comparable solution in Flash. Is that the question that you really wanted the answer to? The answer to that will depend on what your widget actually is/does. Without knowing that, I don't see how anyone can really offer an opinion on the likely fize size savings. If you could post a url for what you have then it would probably help you get a more useful answer. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of devenhariyani Sent: 17 December 2008 01:10 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Is Flex the wrong technology for widgets?

Re: [flexcoders] Is Flex the wrong technology for widgets? SWF file sizes are too big...
It would be pretty hard to get a Flex app down under 100k. The Framework itself is larger than that. You could try framework caching. But if you really want a small file size, you might have to use Flash.

Re: [flexcoders] Is Flex the wrong technology for widgets? SWF file sizes are too big...
Depending on what parts of the framework you use, you could probably cut it right down by not using an Application as the root, and instead using a custom UIComponent that implements IContainer (some methods might be stubs, etc). Container has a *lot* of stuff in it. You should be able to lookup how to do this with google, and (IIRC) there's a lot of comments that will help in the source for ISystemManager and the implementing classes. -Josh On Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 11:31 AM, Jamie S jsjph...@gmail.com wrote: It would be pretty hard to get a Flex app down under 100k.

[flexcoders] Architecture options for holding current model objects related to view
Hey everyone, Let me set up a situation for you. Let's say you have an application with a component called Widget1 that's buried deep within the display list. Widget1 displays 50 knobs. Now, let's say you move to another part of the application and click a button that instantiates Widget3 which shows certain pieces of information about the knob selected on Widget1. Within the display list tree, Widget1 and Widget3 are far from each other and nested deep within other views. In my experience, developers will usually create a property on the application's model (ModelLocator in the case of Cairngorm) that's called something like currentKnob. That way when Widget3 is instantiated it can know which widget was previously selected in Widget1. What are the best practices you've seen regarding this type of interaction within your applications? One alternative I can think of is if Widget1 dispatches an event off Application that the *creator* of Widget3 is watching for. Then when the creator of Widget3 actually creates the Widget3 instance, it can hand off the selected knob to the instance. Thanks! Aaron
[flexcoders] Re: Is Flex the wrong technology for widgets? SWF file sizes are too big...
Thanks for the advice so far. If I follow the advice not to use the Application tag, *and* if I also remove all the MXML and re-write the app to use only ActionScript do you think I can get the size down to under 200KB? I think Flex is a great technology, but if its not the right tool for the job I will sadly have to go to Flash. Here's a description: My widget is not very complicated, it basically does an HttpService request to pull some data, then it puts that data into an ArrayCollection.

RE: [flexcoders] Architecture options for holding current model objects related to view
The theoretical advantage of model-view is that there is better abstraction and encapsulation so that one view can be modified and not require coding in the other view. Another advantage of central model may come when you try to hook up to browser manager. It might be easier to reflect some of your UI state in a central place and drive the app that way. From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Aaron Hardy Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 6:11 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Architecture options for holding current model objects related to view Hey everyone, Let me set up a situation for you. Let's say you have an application with a component called Widget1 that's buried deep within the display list. Widget1 displays 50 knobs. Now, let's say you move to another part of the application and click a button that instantiates Widget3 which shows certain pieces of information about the knob selected on Widget1. Within the display list tree, Widget1 and Widget3 are far from each other and nested deep within other views. In my experience, developers will usually create a property on the application's model (ModelLocator in the case of Cairngorm) that's called something like currentKnob. That way when Widget3 is instantiated it can know which widget was previously selected in Widget1. What are the best practices you've seen regarding this type of interaction within your applications? One alternative I can think of is if Widget1 dispatches an event off Application that the *creator* of Widget3 is watching for. Then when the creator of Widget3 actually creates the Widget3 instance, it can hand off the selected knob to the instance. Thanks! Aaron
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Is Flex the wrong technology for widgets? SWF file sizes are too big...
Under the covers, MXML is converted to actionscript. The only way to get smaller is to start removing features from the framework. If you need collections or HTTPService or styles or resources or any of that infrastructure someday you'll end up with a sizable app even if you do it in AS. So, consider what you can live without not just for today, but going forward. Can you live with just Array because you don't need data update notifications? Do you really need HTTPService or can you just use URLLoader? Using the framework cache will drop the size of your swf considerably. I think helloworld is about 45K when using the framework cache.

SWF file sizes are too big... Does anyone know where I can find some good examples of flex apps written completely in ActionScript 3? I did some quick searches on Google, but didn't find much. I would rather try to re-write the app in AS3 to see if it makes the file size manageable, rather than abandon flex completely. Thanks again, all of you have been very helpful. --Deven --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.commailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com, Alan ultr...@... wrote: I wouldn't call this 'simple' but I do think your doubts are well founded. Looking at this example, I don't see any real use of Flex. You have what looks like some animated state changes and a few navigation components - skipping Flex in this case might be easier. I do small and large scale Flash dev, sometimes widgets, sometimes database crunching translation tools. I only use Flex when I am manipulating lots of data records. BTW gang, don't forget, t's all ActionScript ;) Alan On Dec 16, 2008, at 9:36 PM, devenhariyani wrote: Thanks for the advice so far. If I follow the advice not to use the Application tag, *and* if I also remove all the MXML and re- write the app to use only ActionScript do you think I can get the size down to under 200KB? I think Flex is a great technology, but if its not the right tool for the job I will sadly have to go to Flash.
