we are not using RSLs. I am guessing there is maybe an issue in the menubar its self, though sometimes I do see history manager errors and see datagrid listed. How can history manager through an error when it is disabled in the compiler?
[flexcoders] Help, Random module load issues.
Hey everyone. We are experiencing a ton of issues with our app with regards to module loading. Our main app at this point has 4 main sub modules. Until now only a couple users tended to switch between them but now it is becoming more common. We have noticed a completely random but troublesome bug. Many times when switching from one module to the next we get either history manager errors or the module loads 100% then is just blank, so it never really fully loads. You then need to exit the app and try again. Sometimes it will work, often times it does not. We are not even using history manager and i have even disabled it in the compiler settings and still get the issue. Here are some sample errors: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert mx.managers::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.managers.IHistoryManager. at mx.managers::HistoryManager$/get impl() at mx.managers::HistoryManager$/unregister() at mx.containers::ViewStack/removedFromStageHandler() at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/addChild() at mx.core::Container/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::createContentPane() at mx.core::Container/createOrDestroyScrollbars() at mx.core::Container/createScrollbarsIfNeeded() at mx.core::Container/createContentPaneAndScrollbarsIfNeeded() at mx.core::Container/validateDisplayList() at mx.managers::LayoutManager/validateDisplayList() at mx.managers::LayoutManager/doPhasedInstantiation() at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply() at mx.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher2() at mx.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher() TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert mx.managers::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.managers.IHistoryManager. at mx.managers::HistoryManager$/get impl() at mx.managers::HistoryManager$/unregister() at mx.containers::ViewStack/removedFromStageHandler() at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild() at mx.core::UIComponent/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::$removeChild() at mx.core::Container/removeChild() at mx.modules::ModuleLoader/set url() at Login/switchModule() at com.zebramenubar::app_code/menuHandler() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at mx.core::UIComponent/dispatchEvent() at mx.controls::MenuBar/eventHandler() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at mx.core::UIComponent/dispatchEvent() at mx.controls::Menu/dispatchEvent() at mx.controls::Menu/mouseUpHandler() We have not idea where to begin, one of our devs can never ever even get this to happen!

[flexcoders] RTE for Form Letter content?
I am looking for a little advice here. We have a large flex app that has a need for form letters. These need to typically show a standard letter body mixed with information from some records like who to address it to, which users signature to use etc. I have currently set up the forms as PDFs and we are using some java code to populate the the data via XML and merge with the template. Its a little messy, we are having some issues with the signature files, plus it forces the users to then use a seperate application (acrobat reader) to view the letters. I am looking for a better way to do this. Is it possible to merge record data into a rich text editor form?? Any other ideas how best to accomplish this? The goal of this would be to either view and print these letters or also to be able to fax or email from within our flex app. How are you doing this? Thanks.
[flexcoders] File Upload I/O error only on Mac
Hello, we are having a strange problem trying to upload files via flex in out app. Our code works fine from Windows FIrefox. But on the mac we are getting an error: [IOErrorEvent type=ioError bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text=Error #2038: File I/O Error.

On the server end (Which is Java) the log does not even show the request hitting it. Anyone have any similar issues? I know there is another Mac and upload issue with the oncomplete event but do not think it is that is the server does not even get my request. Any insight would be great, thanks.
[flexcoders] adding additional data to file upload via grid.
Hello all, We are really stuck with something here. We need to be able to upload files along with some additional data (file description, is document private, document catagory) to our server. The file itslef with reside on a file store and the other data will be stored in the DB. We are usling the multifile upload example from adobe but the directions for adding additional data are cryptic at best. We created a few itemrenderers that are now part of the upload grid. They allow the user to enter the additional data to go with the file. The problem we are having is how to get that data that is entered into the fields inserted into the Collection so the upload can send it?? If If anyone has done anything similar some guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[flexcoders] Help with tricky address entry
Hello all, I need a little help with something. We are trying to set up a form
for entering
address information. We want the user to enter the city name into a text input
field and
then be presented with a list of possible city, state, zip codes to select
from. Once the
select the row from the list it then closes the list and keeps the city name in
the city field
and adds the state and zip info to there fields.
I would LOVE to do this with one of the autocomplete components available but
neither
one willl perform as needed, we have spent a great deal of time trying. So I am
trying to
fool the user into thinking that they are using an autocomplete box. The way I
kind of
have working is:
I created a textinput field called city, when the user types a city in and
tabs out I have an
invisible list field that I turn visible appearing below it that is going out
to the database
looking up that city name and bringing back a list of city, states and zips
that match. But
its not quite working correctly. It is bringing up the list, but the tab order
is sending it to
the next field not the list field like I want. I did make the list field next
in the tabindex
order, but I think the issue is it is not visible until after the cursor has
moved on. Also it
appears the list is appearing before all the data is and it is kind of out of
order and when I
scroll it is messing things up. When I do pick an item it does properly close
the list and
save some data to the fields but it is not the row I picked.
I will include the code for the text input, list and function the lookup
performs to see if
anyone has any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] Re: Help with tricky address entry
Have you considered asking for the ZIP code first, then doing the lookup? We have. For this function they will not always have the zip. I actually have managed to figure most of it out. There was a reference to a now deleted state in the code I posted. I was also able to user the FocusManager to fix my tab issues. One question I do have is I am surprised there is now enter property for list. I am currently changing the other data fields on a tab out, but thought enter would be better. Anyone know how to use an enter within a list?

[flexcoders] autocomplete help
Hey guys. We continue to have a ton of trouble trying to implement autocomplete with a changing data provider. Our data rpovider will be coming from the db as the user types. So far using the adobe one and also the one here: http://kuwamoto.org/2006/05/11/example-code-updated-for-beta-3/ we can only get it to basically work as a filter for an existing dataset in a grid. There MUST be a way to create a googlesuggest type autocomplete with flex. Anyone have any luck??
[flexcoders] inserting row into datagrid from popup??
We are having some trouble with a datagrid. We have a grid with 2 columns. One is string and one is an item renderer of an image. To add a new record (that needs to display in grid) we open a popup window. We then want that new row to appear in the grid. We arte using XML as the data provider and sending via HTTP. The thing is failing and actually casing the whole app to behave strangly. We figure there must be an easy way to insert this new row into the grid. Does anyone have any idea how to accomplish this??
[flexcoders] Re: inserting row into datagrid from popup??
we are not using E4X. Regular XML. We are able to edit existing records in the popup and have the data show up correctly in the grid. But with adding its REALLY weird. the scroll bar in the grid stops working, no other popups on the screen will work and when you exit the record it actually changes the colors of the backgrounds on the interface. You need to completely reload the app for it to work again. The data does save correctly in the DB however. I will ask my other programmer for his code. He got frustrated and just runs a procedur to uplaod all the data on the screen. That works fine, but would be noce not to have to go through that if possible.
[flexcoders] Re: flex and IE 7 problems.
all the user names right now are sinble alphanumeric. We are getting the same

[flexcoders] flex and IE 7 problems.
Has anyone tried their flex apps in ie7. We have recently and are having strange issues. The app comes up but we can not login. On our client it gives an invalid login error, and it sends weird data to the server. We actually saw in the log that it was changing some of the keys entered around so it looked bad to the server. But after a single failed attempt the flex app does not send any data when it is supposed to. The login process works fine from firefox, mac and windows, safari, linux and ie6. I thought flex was supoosed to eliminate these browser specific issues!!!
[flexcoders] Re: flex and IE 7 problems.
Yes this is a flex 2 app. Nothing crazy going on at all. A simple HTTP post to do a user login. It sends 2 fields via xml back to the DB. Server side its a resin server sending data to PostgreSQL. When we tracked the logs its as REALLY strange. a user was loggin in, username and was ferrall. For some reason the log kept showing he was typing farrell. we thought it was user error till we tried it and the same thing happened. Also was changing other things we typed in. SOme usernam e combos would cause the app to not even send anything to the server. Again everything works perfectly fine in every other browser we have tried. Only IE7 is causing the issue. I have been using IE 7 for a long time now with many, many flex apps and have not seen any issues. This is a flex 2 app right? Is there any other code involved on this login page outside of the swf? Perhaps some javascript or something else? Most of the changes in IE 7 that would break existing code are secure by default related. But it should not effect the Flash Player much at all. How are you doing your login? HTTP Post? Web service?
[flexcoders] Module Loader progress bar
We have a large app we are building and decided to break it into modules. We have the module loading after a user successfully logins in. After the login it changes states to a box that just contains th moduleLoader. Its all working fine except we get no feedback as to the progress of the module. Is there a way to make it appear similar to the way the flex swf progress appears when loading the flex app? I have tried, unsuccessfully to use the module loader code in the docs. Thanks

[flexcoders] redundant binding??
Hey guys. I am just wondering if this is really the proper way to bind and set up a field. He is an example of a field on a popup window we have. When the screen is loaded, it needs to retrieve the data stored in the db and display it on the screen. Obviously later on we need to then save it back. This is now done via three different lines, in our init function we have the following: // Assign principal values to fields prior to binding fname.data = _provider.firstname; // Now bind fields to data record object BindingUtils.bindProperty(_provider, firstname, fname, text); does it really take both these steps to do this?? Seems like extra work.
[flexcoders] tracking a user session
I am having a surprisingly very difficult time finding a concrete answer as to how to handle sessions in flex. We need to be able to track a user once they are logged into the system. Security in our app is critical and every post needs to be validated. IN our current web app we simply had a string added to the end of each url that tracked the users session. What is the best way to handle this in flex?? We need to know and track session validity, timeout, logout and prvilages to modules and features. thanks. Our back end is java/postgres.
[flexcoders] Re: using autocomplete component with external data??

[flexcoders] using autocomplete component with external data??
Hello everyone. Has anyone been able to figure out how to use the autocomplete component from adobe as a search box against data in a DB?? We only seem to be able to use it with existing pre defined data sets. What we would like to do is use it as a real time filtering search box. Example. USe starts typing in say a last name. After they type 3-4 characters a lookup event is fired off and the dropdown for the autocomplete appears showing potential record matches. The records are in a db accessed via XML and java. We were able to do this with HTML and JS using some ajax techniques and would really like to do it in flex. Any ideas??

That is probably the problem. Are you loading into an Application from

Just for a test you can also comment out the x and y setting calls and try;
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(helpWindow);
If you cannot see it, do you happen to have the aplha or visible turned off

[flexcoders] Re: Anyone actually able to save data from flex
I passed this info to my other programmers and they insist the
documentation says we need to send the XML as an odject. We are using
odjects to retrieve data. If I take out the post and the application
type I get the xml to show in the call on the server but the body is empty
/testServer/store?a=bodject=%3Cphysician%3E%3Ctest%3Eabc%3C%2Ftest%3E%3C%2Fphysician%3E
maybe we are extremely dense but we still can not get this save to work.

Note that in Mike Collins' example he uses toXMLString(). I use string
in the example I sent you directly.
Also, is your server side app getting the querystring arguments (a=b)
successfully? In 1.5 it was illegal to put arguments on the url, I do
not know if that has changed in 2.0.

[flexcoders] Re: Don't bindings work both ways??
from what I can tell the issue continues to come down to the POST and contenttype. Adding these brings a stream error 2032. Any idea why a POST would cause a stream error?

[flexcoders] HTTP Service bug???
Hello all we have been working on an issue we are having for about a week now. I have another post going on that but it has let us to believe there is a bug with the HTTP service command. We are trying to POST back to a java server with XML results in the body of the POST. We set contentType to application/xml. When we run a trace on Flex we get this. 'EC4E2B67-6144-9BBB-ECF4-6A166F09E5E8' producer sending message 'E597B542- D1CB-BBD6-1EC8-6A166F198CF7' 'direct_http_channel' channel sending message: (mx.messaging.messages::HTTPRequestMessage)#0 body = physicianid /firstname /middleinitial /lastname /honor / dob /ssn /languages //physician clientId = (null) contentType = text/plain destination = DefaultHTTP headers = (Object)#1 httpHeaders = (Object)#2 messageId = E597B542-D1CB-BBD6-1EC8-6A166F198CF7 method = GET recordHeaders = false timestamp = 0 timeToLive = 0 url = http://10.20.10.107:8080/ZebraServer/store; 'EC4E2B67-6144-9BBB-ECF4-6A166F09E5E8' producer acknowledge of 'E597B542-D1CB- BBD6-1EC8-6A166F198CF7'. looks good right? Well when packet sniffing the call the body leaves the machine as null. and never gets to the server. Using URLLoader results in stream errors. The only way we have been able to get a call to go through is by sending it as part of the URL. We do not want to send name/pairs. So can anyone confirm they can send XML data in a POST with contentType=application/ xml and properly receive the data on their server? My other post a little further down has more of the code in it. We just want to rule our whether or not this is a bug. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Anyone actually able to save data from flex
I started another topic on this below, but this is a more general question. We have been pulling our hair out trying to save xml data back to server from flex. We can retrieve and view data from the server fine but can not save. We have tried at least 5-10 different methods and even tried using every code sample we could find. None of them have worked. We either get stream errors or no xml data getting to the server. So we are wondering if the whole thing is just broken in flex. It does not seem possible that NONE of our exmaples have worked. We have looked at this every which way and nothing is working. All we want to do is send XML data from a form back to a server. Thats it. It should not be this hard to finds information on this.

OK so what everyone is saying then is that FDS is not ideal for our situation and is only used if real time data pushing is needed? So the bigger question is how does sending data back and forth with XML perform? I have consistently heard that XML is inefficient and has a lot of overhead, so won't this lead to performance issues? I know for example with all the ajax stuff we do we dont't even use XML just straight text as it is much quicker. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- See what's inside the new Yahoo!

[flexcoders] FDS question
OK I have been playing with flex for a couple of weeks now and we are planning on building out a rather large application in flex. The application is going to replace several current apps one of wich is web based the rest are not. I am trying to get my head around the whole FDS thing. Our product will be a medical database. There are currently several different modules within the existing apps. The way I was planning this, each one would become its own flex app. the reason for this is to try and keep the swf file size somewhat reasonable. Currently our thinking is to connect to the data through web services sending XML data to a JSO file that then will communicate with a JAVA based API back to the MySQL backend. What, if anythign would FDS bring to the table? Still not sure how it is better than XML based solution. Also a concern with FDS is the pricing structure. will each FDS file be considered a different app, therefore each one require a license ($6k or $20k)? If each app was assigned only one processor on the VM based server would it be able to use FDS express?? I am just not seeing how FDS figures into the equasion. Is it faster? if so how? Does it save coding time? if so how? Does it eliminate need for a java API? if so how? Thanks for any help. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Something is new at Yahoo! Groups.

[flexcoders] togglebar arrangement
Hello, I am looking to see if it is possible to have a toggle bar contain multiple rows of button. For example I have an accordian that controls navigation to my various modules. Each module I think is going to be its own Flex application. Within each module are different components. I like the idea of the togglebar so that the user woould know which module they are in. However the default bar seems to just add buttons horizonally. Can I somehow have it add them both horizonatally and vertically so i could say have 2 rows oof 3 buttons? Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Calling one Flex app from another
OK let me see if I can explain this :) I have a website that i have set up with 2 frames. The left frame contains a flex application that is basically just an accordian for navigating. Each accordian option is considered a different module in our system. So for example I have one called Administration its canvas has 6 different buttons that will link to different components in the Administration module. So when the Administration accordian panel is selected it also needs to load the administration Flex application into the right hand frame on the page. The reason I want to do this is each Module will be rather large so I do not want one VERY big flex file that would take forever to load up. Each module will be its own app and users typically will spend the whole day iin one module so only a single load time. Anyway what i need to happen is if someone clciks one of the buttons from the accordian canvas it needs to open a cooresponding state in the other application file. For axample in the Administration module there is a button for Users, this needs to open the User state in the Administration Application in the right frame. Clickiing CLients button needs to open the clients state in the right frame. So my question is, is this even possible?? Can I open a certain state in another flex application from a different flex application?? IF so how would the paths look? IS there another way to accomplish this goal. Another reason for this layout is so the accordian can easily be hidden when we don't want/need to use it. Hope I explained this well, thanks. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Re: Calling one Flex app from another
--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tobias Patton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You can use the SWFLoader class to load a Flex application from a URL and add it as a child of your application. THanks. I think what I was getting at in my original question was how do I call a certain state that exists in another flex app in another HTML frame from a different flex app button?? However I may be able to accomplish what I want with the SWLoader command. I have created a new app with a HDIvdeBox container. The left container holds the Accordian, the right I want to hold different MXML files depending on the accordian chosen. Each accodian panel has several buttons that I want to change states in the loaded SW file. How do I do that? Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Great things are happening at Yahoo! Groups.

[flexcoders] Re: togglebar arrangement
Thanks for the advice it is not goign to work. Looks like I could work something out with the toggle parameter for buttons and some action script. Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Large scale app, how to proceed?
Hello everyone. I have beeen following flex for quite sometime during the beta process. I am currently beginning work on a large scale web based application. We are basically migrating several different apps, some web based, some java based, to a new platform. We have spent the last couple of months exploring a JSP based solution running on Resin and connecting to a java based API with MySQL on the back end. I am now considering flex. The app is a medical management based app that will consist of several different modules which all provide different, though related funcitonality. Things like browsing a medical claim, enter a medical bill. I have a couple questions. 1. IS flex well suited for large, multi module apps? Can it provide any real advantage or JSP? 2. Is the application just one big MXML file with many states or lots of little MXML files? Or a combination of some kind, such as each module is an MXML with different states? 3. IS FDS the best way to interact with a java API or are there other ways? 4. HOw do I run the app? Can it run on resin? I see it can be deployed as a WAR file but have yet to figure out how to do that. Sorry for all the questions. Flex looks very interesting, but I am nervous that the learning curve and not knowing the best way to do things will really hurt us. We have been building web based apps for years using HTML, CSS and JS and really have been able to do some really great things. But the idea of a single integrated front end dev app without worrying about browser issues is enticing. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- See what's inside the new Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Arrangement, front back?
OK this may be a really dumb question. But, if I have two items say a box and then a button and I want the box to be layered behind the button how do i do that? I do not see arrange front/back commands anywhere. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Great things are happening at Yahoo! Groups.

[flexcoders] Reusing code blocks
Ok I have a MXML file that has 3 states. All of them have one coommon canvas in common that holds an accordian. It should look the same in all 3 states. Is there a way to only define the accordian (and canvas) container once and have it appear on all thre states?? Right now in the code the accordian is there 3 times which seems a bit bloated to me.

[flexcoders] Re: Large scale app, how to proceed?
Thanks guys. It is really kind of overwelming. I can do HTML/CSS stuff with my eyes shut, but I am just so lost with even simple things right now in flex. One thing that has concerned me is speed, but the new player seems to be a little faster. I don't understand the cold fusion part. If we are using a java API to connect to a mysql datafile where would Coldfusion come in?? We already have resin so I was just thinking of using that. Yahoo!
