[flexcoders] RemoteObject.setCredentials() and Hotfix 2
Has there been a change to setCredentials on RemoteObject from HotFix 2?

Previously, I've never had FDS or LCDS installed and it worked without a problem. I know some FDS classes have been removed from the standard SDK after the hotfix.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: timezone and dateformatter
I've also ran accross this, not so much a bug though. It works properly in
its use case. The problem is, there are other use cases with timezones.
Here is my scenario:
I work with a legacy database. Unfortunately, all datetimes are saved into
the database as UTC, but as the clients time zone.
So say someone in the EST -5 UTC and someone at PST -8 UTC both saved at the
same moment in time (5am EST). The database would have saved the dates as
following:
EST - 05:00
PST - 02:00
I can't change the behavior due to only being one piece in the grand scheme
of the application. The problem is, the databse doesnt' know what timezone
these are. The system was designed to just show that datetime to the user
if they ask for it. Flash/Flex always converts AMF Dates to the local
timezone. I've asked for a way to hook into that deserialization, but I
haven't gotten a response.
Therefore, I massage every date I receive and every date I send using the
following...
*
public* *static* *function* getUTCDate(myDate:Date):Date
{
*if* (myDate == *null*)
*return* *null*;
*else
*
*return* *new* Date(myDate.fullYearUTC, myDate.monthUTC, myDate.dateUTC,
myDate.hoursUTC, myDate.minutesUTC, myDate.secondsUTC,
myDate.millisecondsUTC);
}
*public* *static* *function* sendUTCDate(myDate:Date):Date
{
*if* (myDate == *null*)
*return* *null*;
*else
*
{
*var* sDate:Date = *new* Date(Date.UTC(myDate.fullYear, myDate.month,
myDate.date, myDate.hours, myDate.minutes, myDate.seconds,
myDate.milliseconds));
*return* sDate;
}
}
Hope this helps, but I hope even more there is a better solution out
there

nope. I can't find any mention of this anywhere. Might be known to

if you want times always displayed based on a fixed timezone regardless of
where the user is. I have not confirmed this behavior using coldfusion on
the back end, just Java.
In our case, we are able to code around this by using rationals instead of
date fields, a soon to be used fix. We just need a start time and end time
between 6am to 10pm and have a separate field with only the date. so we can
refactor to use some rational between 6 and 22.

Re: [flexcoders] How to DataBind to DateField when Null Values come into play??
Mike:
What is the type of the property you are trying to bind to in your Value
Object? A DateField selectedDate property can be sent to null and should
give you an empty date.
I've extended the DateField making my own DateField Component -
EditDateField and I always use that whenever I use Date. My Component looks
like this:
mx:DateField xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
focusOut=checkFilterDate(); editable=true
mx:Script
![CDATA[
*import* com.myDomain.util.DateValidate;
*public* *var* defaultDate:Date;
*private* *function* checkFilterDate():*void
*
{
*if* (*this*.text.length == 0)
{
*this*.selectedDate = *null*;
}
*else* *if* (!DateValidate.validate(*this*.text))
{
*this*.selectedDate = defaultDate;
}
*else
*
{
*this*.selectedDate = DateValidate.format(*this*.text);
}
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:DateField
Where my DateValidate class is some custom functions I've written that allow
formats like mmddyy or mmdd to be input and automatically cast to a Date
type.

Re: [flexcoders] Storing Dates Times in VO's
Kevin: I dont' use AMFPHP so I can't specifically help you with that situation, but to your first question: I would recommend figuring out a way to get your PHP DateTypes to automatically transfer to Date type's in Flex. I went down both roads (Date and String in flex) and found that there is a Date Type in Flex for a reason. It makes your life easier when dealing with Dates, especially comparing, sorting and performing Date arithmetic. So my recommendation would be to make the extra effort to get your Object to transfer correctly typed properties...

In my generic class (in this case, my ModelLocater which is part of a

which includes the EventDispatcher stuff.
So, I wanted to see what the bare minimum requirements would be, in order
to Dispatch an Event from a Class File that doesn't extend or implement
anything else.
Also, I DO have the [Bindable] Metatag on this class, and even know I
don't get any code-hinting whenever I type any dispatchEvent type code, I
don't get any Compiler Errors either... That struck me as odd, but with
what Tracy just mentioned, it does answer a few questions...
So I guess, the [Bindable] Metatag is a quick way to add this
functionality, but I am just curious if I wanted to accomplish this via some
other means.

Just call dispatchEvent() (e. g. dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.CHANGE)))
in any class that implements IEventDispatcher (e. g. all the EventDispatcher
successors). Note, that UIComponent and all its successors implement
IEventDispatcher, so dispatchEvent() could be called in any subclass of Box,
ComboBox, Label, TextArea, HSlider, etc:
package {

But it doesn't allow me to do this. In the meantime, I extended my

There must be a way, to import the proper Class, in order to simply

Hi Robin,
I have good news :), both of these issues should go away by setting a
single attribute on your WebService object. Try setting
makeObjectsBindable = false. This will cause Flex to deserialize your

ObjectProxy and ArrayCollection instances.

Setting the alpha isn't giving me the exact results I was looking
Instead, it was

[flexcoders] AMF 3 Date Serialization / Deserialization
Does anyone know if there is a way to have Flex serialize / deserialize Dates using the Local Date Time rather the UTC. For example: Currently i'm seeing the following behavior: (AMF3) Date (no timezone info) - Flex (UTC) Flex(UTC) - AMF3 (no-timezone) I'd like to be able to also do: (AMF3) Date (no timezone info) - Flex (Local) Flex(Local) - AMF3 (no-timezone) Any ideas to automatically do this? I'm currently manually handling it for every date by runnning a function that returns a local date as the following: return new Date(returnDate.fullYearUTC, returnDate.monthUTC..); Thanks Sam

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Reset Radio Button Group
Tim:
Thanks for the help...i got it. I actually was reseting the form on click of a cancel button which also changed the view state. Thefore, the radiobuttons were going away. When the selected setting is called, it seems to call the invalidator, which I believe waits one frame to process...hence the Radiobutton was gone and the error thrown. Instead, i'm calling the reset function on display of the form rather than when its cancelled
Thanks!

[flexcoders] Transition a move based on layoutManager moving a component
Is there any way to transition a move based on a layoutManager moving a component. For instance: Say i have aVBox with 10 components. In the new state, The top 9 components are removed, therefore the 10th component is at the top fo the VBox. Is there any way to move the 10th component from its current position to its position in the new state using a transition move effect?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Access Cairngorm Value Objects in the onResult Method
Ryan:
I'm not sure if this is what the previous poster was sayingbut my suggestion would be to make a private class variable in your command.
private originalVO:MyVO;
execute()
{
originalVO = myMethodEvent.MyVO;
delegate.MyMethod(originalVO );
}
onResult(result:Object)
{
//use originalVO here to and can also use whatever is sent back in the result event
}Are you seeing a down-side to this?

[flexcoders] TextInput Validation on Change Event causes Halo Error Bug
I seem to be experiencing a minor bug with a TextInput and a StringValidator. When the TextInput is not valid, a red halo appears around the focussed TextInput. I execute the validator.validate() on the change event so it updates as the user types data - as per the quick start bestpractices. When I set focus to the Textinput using the Tab key, it works correctly and as soon as the field is valid, the red halo goes away. But when I click to focus in the textInput, the red halo stays until the component loses focus. Any ideas? Also, the same behavior can be seen on Aral's Quick Start(the last example): http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/validating_data/ Thanks Sam __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 2: Passing Custom Classes to .NET Web Service
John: I just put together a little tutorial on using .NET (with AMF0) with WebOrb.NET Standard (free) to pass typed custom classes back and forth, you can check it out here: http://blog.shrefler.net/?p=6 Or, you can use JSON (both in flex and .net) with a .NET webService to serialize and deserialize objects, but they won't be typed. Instructions for that can be found here: http://blog.shrefler.net/?p=5 Hope that helps Sam On 9/13/06, John C. Bland II [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Has anyone successfully done so?

Re: [flexcoders] Casting Value Objects
Pete:
Two things to try...first: Try typing your array collection by doing this in your ModelLocator:
[ArrayElementType(com.xxx.xxx.model.ModuleVO)]public var modules:ArrayCollection;
Also, in your VO class, add this:
//assuming you have your VO named the same on the remote side...
[RemoteClass(alias=com.xxx.xxx.model.ModuleVO)]public class ModuleVO
Another thing is to make sure (ServiceCapture should work) that your CF Object is being passed typed as a ModuleVO
Hope that helps...

Hi there,
I'm having a little trouble casting results from an RPC to a ValueObject. For example, I'm returning an array of objects from CF the object has two properties and I have created a VO class accordingly:
package com.xxx.xxx.model {
[Bindable]
public dynamic class ModuleVO {
public var module_id:Number;
public var module_name:String;
}
}
When the result is returned I cast it as an array and insert it into an ArrayCollection for use in a datagrid (which works fine). I have two text inputs that I want to be binded to the selectedItem in the datagrid. This is where my problems occur:
mx:DataGrid id=dgModulesdataProvider={ModelLocator.getInstance().modules}/
view:ModuleEditor module={dgModules.selectedItem as ModuleVO}/
When the app runs it doesn't cast correctly as a ModuleVO and returns null values. I have checked the properties of the selectedItem in the DataGrid and it has both module_id and module_name but something goes awry in the casting process. I tried adding a constructor to the ModuleVO class that accepts an object:
package com.xxx.xxx.model {
[Bindable]
public dynamic class ModuleVO {
public var module_id:Number;
public var module_name:String;
public function ModuleVO(module:Object) {
this.module_id = module.module_id
this.module_name = module.module_name
}
}
}
and changing the Module Editor code to:
mx:DataGrid id=dgModulesdataProvider={ModelLocator.getInstance().modules}/
view:ModuleEditor module={new ModuleVO(dgModules.selectedItem)}/
and it works fine. This method seems like it requires unneccessary lines of code and makes adding further properties a pain in the neck. Can anyone shed any light on where I am going wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Pete

[flexcoders] Multiple Screen Application
I'm just looking for an theory overview / suggestions on how to handle multiple screens with nothing in common: For example, i have an application that I'd like to have a menubar on every single screen. After that, i'd have say 5 - 20 totally unrelated screens each with their own display and function. I see on each of those screens where viewStates would comein handy. My question is: Should I make viewStates for every single screen, or would using a viewStack be better? Is there a best practice for an application with multiple screens?

Lately, as my application has dozens of screens and different users are privelaged to have certainscreens at their disposal, I use a view stack (it's easier on the eyesto program, IMO), and have each state's viewhelper extended toregister that given state as a screen object in an arraycollection of available screens. I also have a constants file of screen titles (mymenu reflects the title of the current screen.)I register each screen with its static title (pulled from theconstants class), and fire off a custom cairngorm event when switching screens.e.g.:CairngormEventDispatcher.getInstance().dispatchEvent( newScreenSwitchEvent(Constants.MainMenu));Then I have a class that implements Command and have it do a search inthe screen array for any object who's title is Constants.MainMenu.I've found this to be the best way, mainly because I rely onpermissions and some screens have read-write access, some only haveread, etc.For a smaller application, you could just use states and have a string property in the model called currentState that the currentState ofyour VBox is bound to. (I say VBox instead of application because Iwant a menu bar to be at the top of every screen, so the content isloaded into the vbox.)
