[flexcoders] How to force grid dataprovider to update when combobox editor option selected
Hi, all.
I have the following code:
mx:AdvancedDataGrid id=ticketsGridTop height=115 width=150
allowDragSelection=false
editable=true draggableColumns=false resizableColumns=false
headerRenderer=com.tailgate.platform.movietickets.HeaderRenderer
selectable=false borderSides=top bottom
dataProvider={model.availableItems}
mx:columns
mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText=Ticket Type
dataField=name editable=false /
mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn id=quantityColumn
rendererIsEditor=true
editorDataField=selectedIndex headerText=Ticket
Quantity
editable=true dataField=quantity
mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
mx:ComboBox width=20
dataProvider=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] /
/mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer
/mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn
/mx:columns
/mx:AdvancedDataGrid
My problem is that the quantity field of my dataprovider doesn't update
immediately after I select an option from the ComboBox.
First I have to select, then I have to click a (second time) somewhere else, in
order for the quantity field in the dataprovider's
object to update.
Any idea why this is, and how I can have the quantity field of the dataprovider
update upon select, without the additional click?
Thanks much.

[flexcoders] Re: Reusing HTTPService
Hi, Tracy. Thanks for your response. It's good to hear that others use this solution. Makes me feel like it's not just a stop-gap hack. However, what made me uncomfortable is the idea in OOP that classes should be open to extension, closed to modification. It's generally a code smell if one keeps having to literally add code to an existing class in order to add functionality. Especially when the added functionality bears such a strong resemblance to existing behaviors. What do you think? I really like your idea of adding properties to AsyncToken. Is AsyncToken a dynamic class? Is that how you do it? Thanks again. LT --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tracy Spratt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is a normal pattern. What about it makes you uncomfortable? You are using a single result handler function, correct? The switch() statement makes chaining calls easy and facilitates debugging since a single breakpoint or trace() will track all RPC calls. I have found that two string properties (callId, and nextAction ) on the AsyncToken work for all my needs so far An alternative would be to put a callback function in an AsyncToken property or use the addResponder() methods. I personally find those solutions messy.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: My Flex Form
First forget what I said about the result handler because I thought you
should receive the data from the service while in reality you want to send
it!
Now back to the code in the CDATA block. It must be clear that the CDATA
block is not a function!! It is like writing code for a class but without
the class block delimiters, I mean without public class ClassName { and
the closing }.
So this code is illegal in a CDATA block (more specifically the second
line):
var obj:Object = new Object();
obj.Name = Name.text;
The second line must live in a function. In your case put the code in the
click event handler of the send button:
private function sendButtonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var obj:Object = new Object();
obj.Name = Name.text;
myContactService.send(obj);
}

Hi, I was wondering if you could expand on this... more specifically.
I'm not quite following you.
I was given a framework regarding how to do this, from an instructor
on the Lynda.com library of online training. He gave me the basic
framework for what needs to happen. I know I am missing something.
I'm really frustrated that I still cannot get this very basic thing
working. Can someone show how specifically this would be done,
please. Let's say we have just one field, a Text Input field in a
FormItem tag and then a Button tag, with a click event handler, that
calls the php form processor called FormToEmail.php
This is what I know, that the php form processor wants a _POST[] array
variable. So, I have,
mx:HTTPService id=myContactService
url=FormToEmail.php
method=POST/
Then in a CDATA block, I setup an Object. My instructor said that
this would be used to send the data as expected by the form processor,
which in this case is, FormToEmail.php
So, I have:
var obj:Object = new Object();
obj.Name = Name.text;
If the form had just one Form Item, for simplicity in demonstrating
this, we could assume Name is the id of that FormItem.
Can someone please in detail explain or demonstrate what would be
done, specifically. If you know of a place where this is explained on
the web, please let me know. Clearly, I'm missing something here but
I am not following what that is.
thanks,
Bruce

Most of the code in the CDATA block will be inserted in a class during
compilation so you can write whatever is allowed in a class block
(declarations and function definitions). The assignments are hence not
allowed there, they must live in a function.
In your case, you should do the assignments in the result handler of the
HTTPService anyway.
Hope this helps!

Hello all,
Flex is not liking the way I setup the Object in a CDATA block
in a Form Component.
I have a Form component in a forms subfolder/subdirectory of
the src directory/folder. I have an application in the src folder
called FormRequest.mxml and in the forms folder I setup a Form
Component that I called ContactForm.mxml
My form processor will take variable value pairs and email them
to me. In HTML, I use a form tag and then input name=name
type=text/
So, I have in the Form component (which is in the file
ContactForms.mxml in the forms subfolder) an HTTPService as such:
mx:HTTPService id=myContactService
url=FormToEmail.php
method=POST/
Then I have
mx:FormItem label=Name:
mx:TextInput id=Name width=195/
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem id=Email label=Email: fontSize=16
mx:TextInput width=195/
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem label=Your Message: fontSize=16
mx:TextArea id=Message height=100 width=195/
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem
mx:Button label=Contact Us fontSize=16
click=myContactService.send(obj)/
/mx:FormItem
In the CDATA AS block, I have this:
var obj:Object = new Object();
obj.Name = Name.text;
obj.Email = Email.text;
obj.Message = Message.text;
It doesn't like this, as it gives me an error message on the 2nd, 3rd
and 4th lines saying that obj is an undefined property. Am I missing
public or private in front of the var? Sometimes I get confused when
that is left off the code.
Somehow, I've got to get the Name, Email and Message, that the user
types into the Form Items, connected to the obj Object. Then I have
to give it to the FormToEmail.php form processor that takes _POST
['inputtextvariable']
It looks for variables of that form in the _POST variable. In HTML
the data comes from the name attribute of the INPUT tag.
Should all of this be in the ContactForm.mxml component? This is
called from FormRequest.mxml inside a Panel, I have this:
mx:Panel title=Contact Us
forms:ContactForm id=myContactForm/
/mx:Panel
Does this sound right? I

[flexcoders] Flex uploader / accessing local files?
Hi - I've made a flex uploading application that gets a file from the client's file system using FileReference() and uploads it to a server. I'd like to be able to resize the image before it is sent to the server, but apparently flex doesn't have access to the actual bits that make up the image file, only a reference to the file. Surely there must be a way to manipulate that image data from the client's file before it gets to the server? Has anyone done anything like this? I've looked all around but haven't had much luck.

[flexcoders] Re: My Flex Form
We are close, hopefully. I still get an error on the lines inside the
sendMyData function. It is giving me an error that says,
Error: Access to undefined property Name,
Error: Access to undefined property Email,
Error: Access to undefined property Message,
It should be noted that I have the component, named FormComponent in a
subfolder form the source root, in a file called FormComponent.mxml,
of course. That file just has the Form and the FormItem tags, with
InputText fields with id of Name, Email, Message.
I instantiate the Form component into the application called ContactForm.
So, I uploaded the project to the web on the server I use. It seems
like this would be the best way to see what I am missing or doing
wrong. So, please check it out here:

You have the id=Email on the FormItem - it should be on the TextInput.
The name of your form component is ContactForms.mxml but you try to

ContactForms and ContactForm is different).
You cannot set properties of a variable inside a CDATA block. You must
do it in a function (Which is inside the CDATA block). eg.
private function sendMyData():void
{
var obj:Object = new Object();
obj.Name = Name.text;
obj.Email = Email.text;
obj.Message = Message.text;
myContactService.send(obj);
}
and change the button mxml to

[flexcoders] Re: My Flex Form
Hi, thanks for the help. I did what you mention below. Someone else
posted somethingsimilar about putting the Object property into the
function.
It still doesn't like that yet. It gives me an error on the line in
the function where I am assigning values to the Object properties...
Specifically it doesn't like:
obj.Name = Name.text;
it says: Access to undefined property Name
Now, one problem might be that I am not passing any parameters to the
function.
I'll see about the way you specified the function and see if that
fixes things.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Extending UIComponent memory issues.
Doug, Jason,
Since I am a self-centered person that doesn't like to be misunderstood,
;-), I could have brought up the 4000 object issue. In previous threads with
Jason, he said this was a requirement from the higher order. So I left it
where it was, 4000 objects.
As far as the IUIComponent issue, it is Container that requires them not
'Flex' itself.
This is where as flex projects, Web 2.0 and performance are reaching a point
where it's not just making a Flash IDE animation anymore.
When the requirements of these projects come to this level there is more
engineering involved and Flex out of the box is not going to handle
situations like this.
The absolute way to do this is creating a UIComponent subclass that is the
container, creating your layout algorithm in this component. Subclass
FlexSprite, make that your content loader component.
Then instantiate the content components in the UIComponent container. This
is the lean version of your design I envision. You could even recycle the
content renderers in your container component Lot's of things you could
do ;-)

1. My first question is does the profiler just point to the base

2. My 2nd question is is their anything wrong with the code

is it eatin memory? The parameter content when pulled in is a swf

When I run this progam the CarouselImage's are using up 30% to 35% of

[flexcoders] Re: The Repeater control and the getChildren() method
Hi,
Well, i think i didn't explain my problem very well.
The problem wasn't with the repeater, but the repeater parent.
let's say my application is like this
mx:Panel id=displayScreen
mx:Repeater id=rep
mx:Button id=toto/
mx:TextInput id=tata/
/mx:Repeater
/mx:Panel
I have to code a very generic code, which doesn't need to know the
component ids, even if they have some.
I made a method which need to know to component parent that need to be
match with the datas.
let say my method is fillFields(parent:UIComponent, datas:XML). then
i'll use it like this
fillFields(displayScreen, datas).
the method will check the parent childs, and recursively will find all
the component in the dispalyScreen and check in the XML document if
there is a data for the component.
Some guys will tell me to use the databinding, but the datas that i
receive from my httpService isnt well formed, that's why i have to
manually match datas with components.
Now the problem is that when i'll call the fillFields method on the
panel (like in the example), the getChildren method of the panel wont
give the repeater like a child. If i want to know the repeaters in the
panel, i have to use the mx_internal namespaced method childRepeaters.
I managed to change the way i use the repeater, and i created a custom
component which is a box with the repeater inside. This way the
getChildren method will be able to get the box and pass it the datas.
This make me create the repeater in ActionScript, what's a real pain.
I overrided the addchild method and used this one
override public function addChild(child:DisplayObject):DisplayObject {
var descriptorProps:Object = {};
descriptorProps.type = UIComponent(child).descriptor.type;
descriptorProps.id = UIComponent(child).descriptor.id;
descriptorProps.propertiesFactory =
UIComponent(child).descriptor.propertiesFactory;
descriptorProps.events = UIComponent(child).descriptor.events;
descriptorProps.effects = UIComponent(child).descriptor.effects;
descriptorProps.document = UIComponent(child).descriptor.document;
_repeater.childDescriptors.push(new
UIComponentDescriptor(descriptorProps));
return _repeater.addChild(child);
}
And now i have a problem with the initializeRepeater method. all the
component i use are Box-based, and i have this error now

Re: [flexcoders] Re: My Flex Form
The problems you are having are related to very basic actionscript and
object oriented programming knowledge. Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way
blaming you, I just want to give you the advice to read some documentation
about AS and OO programming because otherwise you will be loosing much time
with basic things!
You can start with Programming ActionScript 3.0 from the Flex
documentation:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=Part6_ProgAS_1.html
Now to the problem. You are getting this error because the Name field is
not defined where you are calling it, but in the FormComponent. If you
instantiate the FormComponent with an id of form for example, you can
access it with: form.Name. Note that it has to be declared public in the
component to be able access it from outside the component.
Hope it helps!

So this code is illegal in a CDATA block (more specifically the second

The second line must live in a function. In your case put the code

You could use a setter method (i.e. public function set myDatas(d:*):void{})
if you need more control over what happens, or a changeWatcher inside the
component observing the public bindable.

[flexcoders] newbie question on synchronous and asynchronous events
From Flex cookbook beta on adobe.com, How to handle events in a
TestCase? article:
Testing behavior in a TestCase often involves waiting for
asynchronous events. If the TestCase methods only concern synchronous
events like property change events fired immediately when the property
is set, no special handling is required. It is only when asynchronous
events are involved that extra care needs to be taken. A common
example would be waiting for a URLLoad to finish or a UIComponent to
finish creation.
My question is: How do I distinguish between the synchronous and
asynchronous events?
From what is said, if the event is synchronous, then I could test for
event effect in synchronous manner. For example:
public function testSync(){
this.myValue = 0
addEventListener(MySynch.Sync, listener)
dispatchEvent(new MySynch)
assertEquals (this.myValue, 10)
}
public function listener(){
this.myValue = 10
}
Now, if I write the code for WebService send, test code would not
work. Am I getting this right? If so, how do I distinguish between the
synchronous and asynchronous events?
Thanks,
Dan
Re: [flexcoders] newbie question on synchronous and asynchronous events
I always treat events as asynchronous - I don't see how else you can deal
with them. I'll have to check out the cookbook article..

Re: [flexcoders] Locale in Flex
You need to be more specific. If you're running a web app is highly porbably to save that into a cookie on user computer. You pass that to flash as input parameter and precess it when flex loads (mainappp creationComplete or something - you'll have it in the :parameters variable in the main app). if you want to read it form client's computer that is doable to google it for some solution it must be there.

[flexcoders] Override mx:Window close function
I'm attempting to override a mx:Window's response to a close, so that if someone closes the window, it only hides it. The use case is that it's a properties window that can then be reopened when they select another element. The problem, of course, is that once a window has been closed you cannot reopen it. I have overridden the close function, but that is not having the effect I want. It seems I somehow need to override the event that is called when the deactivate event is called. How might I go about doing this?
Re: [flexcoders] Override mx:Window close function
Hi, If I remeber correctly, you need to listen for window closing event and call event.preventDefault(). This will stop the default behavior and then allow you to hide the window, setting the visible or whatever implementation you have.

[flexcoders] Repeater control and custom Component
Hello,
Since it's not the same problem as the old one, i post a new topic on
this, i hope this way to do enter in the ToS.
I created a component Box-Based, which contains a repeater and some
other attributes.
Since my english isn't perfect i'll post part of the code i produced
and tell you what's the problem now.
public function Prep()
{
super();
_repeater = new Repeater();
_repeater.dataProvider = _dataProvider;
super.addChild(_repeater);
}
override protected function createChildren():void {
this.creationPolicy = ContainerCreationPolicy.NONE;
super.createChildren();
_repeater.childDescriptors = this.childDescriptors;
}
private function fillInternalFields():void {
if(_dataProvider != null) {
_repeater.dataProvider = _dataProvider;
_repeater.initializeRepeater(this.parent as
IContainer,true);
}
}
the fillInternalFields() is a method called when i set the datas of
the component.
i get an error in the createReferenceOnDocument method as it's set here

[flexcoders] Re: WebService operation faults propigating up to WebService fault handler.
I'll bounce this back up as it's hard to find any source code samples
using the Actionscript version of WebService, and properly handling
all the different errors, etc...
Thanks,
--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Todd [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hello All,
I have a problem that I can't figure out. With WebService faults,
and operations that return SOAPFaults...read on for the detais.
1) I've created my WebService through ActionScript (not the MXML
Component).
var ws:WebService = new WebService();
2) I've attached a fault listener to it. I had to do this because
it seems that SOAPEncoder errors were never being caught otherwise.
ws.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, onServiceFault)
3) I'm using a Cairngorm Command/ServiceDelegate calling scheme.
For example, to call getInvoices, I have a command that calls into the
appropriate method on the ServiceDelegate called getInvoices, which
looks like:
public function getInvoices(params:Object):void{
Operation(ws.SearchInvoices).encoder.strictNillability = true;
var token:AsyncToken = ws.SearchInvoices(params);
token.addResponder(this.responder);
}
As you can see, I'm using the AsyncToken, and adding the Commmand as
the responder. The Command has both fault and result handlers as
defined by the IResponder interface.
4) The this.responder is set during the contstructor of the
Service Delegate, like so:
public function ServiceDelegate(responder:IResponder)
{
this.responder = responder;
}
So, now my problem is, that when a SOAPFault is raised in the call to
the SearchInvoices WebService operation, both the FAULT on my Command
(which is the responder), AND the fault (onServiceFault ) for the
WebService definition.
I'd really rather not have this happen, but can't really figure out
exactly what's going on. ALSO, I had to add the fault handler to the
WebService because we were having all sorts of SOAPEncoder errors that
were never being raised.
What's someone to do? Is it that since I'm using the AsyncResponder
to handle for the result/fault, that the WebService is never notified
that the Fault has already been handled? What's the proper design
around this? Is there a way to set the status that the Fault's been
handled? It almost seems like the fault is being raised twice.
Thanks,
Todd

[flexcoders] MasterTextInput - Open Source
Guys, I developed a component for Flex called MasterTextInput. Fully Open Source project and created on Google Code. The MasterTextInput extends from standard TextInput class with new features and facilities implemented to help us in our day-to-day. Below the list of features already developed in this version v0.1: == AUTO CASE TYPE TEXT == Desc: Convert the text automatically typed in lowercase or uppercase. Property: capsType () Values: - normal: No case [DEFAULT] - lowercase: convert in Lower Case - upercase: convert in Uper Case - init: Convert the first letter of each word in Upercase. == AUTO TAB ON KEY PRESS ENTER == Desc: Automatically puts the focus on the next component when to pressed the Enter key. Performs the same function TAB key. Property: nextFocusOnEnter () Values: - True: Enable function [DEFAULT] - False: Disable function Events: - EnterPressed: Shot by pressing the ENTER key. It can be used for customized implementations. == AUTO RESTRICT == Desc: Restrictions on input of text already implemented. Property: onlyRestrict () Values: - None: Do not place restrictions [DEFAULT] - Number: Accepts only numeric characters - Alphabetic: Accepts only text - AlphabeticNoSpecial: Accepts only text, but does not accept special characters like: @ - / * ... Note: For customized restrictions continue using the property Restrict (). == EMBEDED VALIDATORS == Desc: Embedded Validation. Will no longer be necessary to create Validators for each field. Already there is the automatic validations only setting a property of MasterTextInput. Validation of the messages are automatically translated into Portuguese / English / Spanish without the need for any kind of implementation. Property: validator () Values: - none: No automatic validation [DEFAULT] - email: Validation of E-mail - phone: Validation of Phone Number - number: Validation of number - string: Validation of string - date: Validation of date Remarks: - All specific properties to each validator also exists in MasterTextInput. Eg. FormatInput validator to date, MaxValue for Number, MaxLenght for String and so for all other properties patterns of validators. - There is a public object called currentValidator he will always point to the current validator of his MasterTextInput, so you can track any changes of the validator dynamically, linking it to an Array for grouped validation and any other function. - The properties Trigger () and triggerEvent () exist in MasterTextInput in order to define when will be triggered the validation of the field. The default is to quit when the focus of the component. Property: ValidationLanguage () Desc: This property will be the language that will be displayed Validators messages. Values: - Portuguese: All messages are in Portuguese for validation. [DEFAULT] - English: Messages of validation in English. - Spanish: Messages of validation in Spanish.

[flexcoders] Foriegn language support with an embeded font - need help
Hello - I currently have a Flex Application in which I have an embedded font (a SWF I created in Flash, and included all the glyphs needed for all the languages this app will support, i.e. - Japanese). In my app, I load in a labels XML file, which has the proper characters in it (English for English, Japanese for Japanese, etc), and use the values from that XML file to populate all my Labels. For whatever reason, only the English characters are working, Japanese and all other languages are not. I'm not exactly sure how I need to handle this - but I thought as long as my embedded font had the proper glyphs it would render the characters - apparently this is not true. Anyone have any experience with this type of set up, and any thoughts on how I can get foriegn language support going? thanks!

var callToken:AsyncToken = service.send(oRequest);
callToken.callId = myQuery1;
In the result Handler:
var callToken:AsyncToken = event.token;
var sCallId = callToken.callId; //myQuery1
switch(sCallId) {//Process the
result conditionally

Hi, Tracy.
Thanks for your response.
It's good to hear that others use this solution. Makes me feel like
it's not just a stop-gap hack.
However, what made me uncomfortable is the idea in OOP that classes
should be open to extension, closed to modification. It's generally a
code smell if one keeps having to literally add code to an existing
class in order to add functionality. Especially when the added
functionality bears such a strong resemblance to existing behaviors.
What do you think?
I really like your idea of adding properties to AsyncToken. Is
AsyncToken a dynamic class? Is that how you do it?
Thanks again.

You
are using a single result handler function, correct? The switch()
statement makes chaining calls easy and facilitates debugging since
a
single breakpoint or trace() will track all RPC calls. I have found
that two string properties (callId, and nextAction ) on the
AsyncToken work for all my needs so far
An alternative would be to put a callback function in an AsyncToken
property or use the addResponder() methods. I personally find

Subject: [flexcoders] Reusing HTTPService
Hi,
I'm re-using an instance of HTTPService, changing the request
arguments to get different responses from the server. But I found
that if, for instance, I made 3 calls this way with the HTTPService,
each of the 3 result handlers registered for each call is executed
every time a result returned.
I solved this by storing a reference to the unique AsyncToken
returned
by each service call and matching it to the AsyncToken contained in
each ResultEvent's token property in order to determine which
result
handler to execute.
I'm not terribly happy with this setup. It seems messy. I'd
appreciate any suggestions on how I can reuse an HTTPService
instance
without ending up with long switch statements with countless if
thisAsyncToken then do thisHandler, else if thatAsyncToken then do
thatHandler... and so on.
Thanks much.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Efficiency and objects in the display list
One correction on my part. It's IUIComponent that is important. IFlexDisplayObject is for skins so you can call move(), setActualSize() and get a measuredWidth and measuredHeight from them. The allows for the polymorphic behavior when laying out skins and components. Your code can see the same thing and does not have to differentiate between a component or skin (Shape). The IFlexDisplayObject gives an impression of the core DisplayObject as well. The ILayoutManagerClient interface allows the layoutManager to use nesting and call validation on the components in the queue.

[flexcoders] Re: WebService operation faults propigating up to WebService fault handler.
Hmmm...interesting.
I got into the Responders/AsyncTokens because that's how all the
Cairngorm samples were setup.
But with what you say, it's very consistent with all the samples using
MXML WebServices...putting a fault on the operation. But with faults
on the operation, what happens when Flex can't even call the operation
because of a SOAPEncoder error?
Originally, all was fine with using Responders, but then I noticed
that errors from the SOAPEncoder were getting swallowed, and when Flex
tried building a SOAP message, but couldn't because of some improper
format, nothing would happen. It would sit there. Adding an error
handler to the actual service solved that.
Now, however, I'm stuck with Responder's handling faults, and the
actual WebService handling faults. I'd like to at least not have the
Web Service fault trigger if the responder handled it.
I'm about 12 Web Services, 140+ calls into this thing. I don't think
it'll be possible for me to get rid of my Responder cairngorm
infrastructure...but I'd like to at least get a handle on how/where
the faults are raised from.
Had I done this again, I'd probably take your approach of having a
single handler, use that as the master that subs things out depending
upon the type of response. This would have the benefit of a single
point in dealing with the Flex services layer...

mx:Tile width=100% height=100% id=tiletest/
I also have a linkbutton that loads moduleloaders in mx:Tile:
mx:LinkButton label=Load click=loadmodule() buttonMode=true/
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.modules.ModuleLoader;
public function loadmodule():void {
var moduleloader:ModuleLoader = new ModuleLoader();
tiletest.addChild(moduleloader);
moduleloader.url = test.swf;
}
]]
/mx:Script
I can load the module several times but my problem is:
If I load several modules, how can I remove a specific one, let's say
the third one that was loaded?
Do I need to add a specific remove button within the module
application? If so, what script can I use???
Thank you.
RE: [flexcoders] Re: WebService operation faults propigating up to WebService fault handler.
So can you leave the fault handler on the service and not user the ones
on the operations? Or point those to some dummy handler?

WebService fault handler.
Hmmm...interesting.
I got into the Responders/AsyncTokens because that's how all the
Cairngorm samples were setup.
But with what you say, it's very consistent with all the samples using
MXML WebServices...putting a fault on the operation. But with faults
on the operation, what happens when Flex can't even call the operation
because of a SOAPEncoder error?
Originally, all was fine with using Responders, but then I noticed
that errors from the SOAPEncoder were getting swallowed, and when Flex
tried building a SOAP message, but couldn't because of some improper
format, nothing would happen. It would sit there. Adding an error
handler to the actual service solved that.
Now, however, I'm stuck with Responder's handling faults, and the
actual WebService handling faults. I'd like to at least not have the
Web Service fault trigger if the responder handled it.
I'm about 12 Web Services, 140+ calls into this thing. I don't think
it'll be possible for me to get rid of my Responder cairngorm
infrastructure...but I'd like to at least get a handle on how/where
the faults are raised from.
Had I done this again, I'd probably take your approach of having a
single handler, use that as the master that subs things out depending
upon the type of response. This would have the benefit of a single
point in dealing with the Flex services layer...

I'll bounce this back up as it's hard to find any source code samples
using the Actionscript version of WebService, and properly handling

Hello All,
I have a problem that I can't figure out. With WebService faults,
and operations that return SOAPFaults...read on for the detais.
1) I've created my WebService through ActionScript (not the MXML
Component).
var ws:WebService = new WebService();
2) I've attached a fault listener to it. I had to do this because
it seems that SOAPEncoder errors were never being caught otherwise.
ws.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, onServiceFault)
3) I'm using a Cairngorm Command/ServiceDelegate calling scheme.
For example, to call getInvoices, I have a command that calls into
the
appropriate method on the ServiceDelegate called getInvoices, which
looks like:
public function getInvoices(params:Object):void{
Operation(ws.SearchInvoices).encoder.strictNillability = true;
var token:AsyncToken = ws.SearchInvoices(params);
token.addResponder(this.responder);
}
As you can see, I'm using the AsyncToken, and adding the Commmand as
the responder. The Command has both fault and result handlers as
defined by the IResponder interface.
4) The this.responder is set during the contstructor of the
Service Delegate, like so:
public function ServiceDelegate(responder:IResponder)
{
this.responder = responder;
}
So, now my problem is, that when a SOAPFault is raised in the call
to
the SearchInvoices WebService operation, both the FAULT on my
Command
(which is the responder), AND the fault (onServiceFault ) for the
WebService definition.
I'd really rather not have this happen, but can't really figure out
exactly what's going on. ALSO, I had to add the fault handler to the
WebService because we were having all sorts of SOAPEncoder errors
that
were never being raised.
What's someone to do? Is it that since I'm using the AsyncResponder
to handle for the result/fault, that the WebService is never
notified
that the Fault has already been handled? What's the proper design
around this? Is there a way to set the status that the Fault's been
handled? It almost seems like the fault is being raised twice.
Thanks,
Todd

You can override the server settings required for weborb by adding the

We have a Flex app running on a thin client: all users of our app run a single browser copy. This app performs operations on a database.

If we leave and enter the app again, we can see that the data was changed (i.e. the operations succeed).

[flexcoders] Re: My Flex Form - please help
Hi, I have to ask something else... when you said change the reference to Name, I wasn't sure that you meant on the left of the = or right. I have taken a class on AS 3.0 and two on Flex 3 and it was very extensive... getting into OOP. I thought I had things figured out. Could you or someone please look at my code and specifically edit it to work. It is very small and I only need to have one field in the form for demonstration purposes. It might be only a line or two that needs to be changed or added. There are only two files so far. Here's the link: http://fwweb.biz/ContactForm.zip Please email me directly or post the fixed code specifically as it would need to be for this to work. I'll reproduce the code below as well. It's not long. As a note, I did find a free Flex/PHP application that does this. However, I want to figure out how to get the very basic application that I started, working right, instead of just taking something else. I want to figure out the exact logic that would work to accomplish what I am trying. By being real basic, I can focus mainly on the details and concepts that I am getting wrong. The instructor in the two classes I took on Flex Builder 3, stated that I needed an HTTPService tag which calls the php form processing script that emails form results to a specified email address - setting the method to POST. In the form component, I would call an AS 3.0 function that creates the object, obj:Object = new Object(); - then in the function sendMyData, I call the HTTPService send method. It sounds like you are saying that I shouldn't use obj but should use something like this: forms:FormComp id=form/ Then, in the function sendMyData(, I just do it like this: form.Name = Name.text; No, that doesn't work. It still gives me an error saying: Access to undefined property Name. I really didn't follow that either. I thought I would need an object that would have properties sent to the HTTPService request which calls the php form processor which will email me the results. Please, check out the code I include and if you or someone else would, please replace what I did wrong with the right code. That way I can see exactly how to make this work. I just got a little confused when you were saying that I need to use form.Name as I didn't know if you meant just replace that in the function that I have and that we are talking about this on the left or right of the equals sign and if not, then what are we setting equal to form.Name. Lastly, I have two large books for learning AS 3.0 and OOP, ActionScript 3.0 Bible and Flex 3.0 Bible. They are rather extensive and long and AS 3.0 Bible does get into OOP. If you would recommend a different or additional text, please let me know. I'll definitely start reading the information at the link you sent to me - to the livedocs article. thanks, Bruce --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Haykel BEN JEMIA [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The problems you are having are related to very basic actionscript and object oriented programming knowledge.

You can start with Programming ActionScript 3.0 from the Flex documentation: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=Part6_ProgAS_1.html Now to the problem. You are getting this error because the Name field is not defined where you are calling it, but in the FormComponent.

[flexcoders] Module Interfaces Inheritance question
Hi, I did a basic search on this topic and read a few posts, but I think my case seems to be a little different here. I have a fairly large application that I am designing to be broken into one main application that loads multiple modules as required. My main application implements an IMyApp interface with one method right now: getModule(modName:String):* All my modules implement a generic IAppModule interface which includes 2 methods: -initModule() Called after loading and creation of module -handleEvent(evt:Event): Called whenever an event such as MenuEvent etc need to be passed to the module. Each of the modules implement a specific interface, for eg. Module1 implements IModule1 which extends IAppModule, and Module2 implements IModule2 which also extends IAppModule to expose specific functionality within each of the module. So I have the following package structure and classes with their interfaces: 1) class a.MyApp implements a.mod.common.IMyApp (My main app) 2) interface a.mod.common.IModule1 extends interface a.mod.common.IAppModule 3) interface a.mod.common.IModule2 extends interface a.mod.common.IAppModule 4) class a.mod.mod1.Module1 implements a.mod.common.IModule1 (Module 1 compiles to Module1.swf) 5) class a.mod.mod2.Module 2 implements a.mod.common.IModule2 (Module 2 compiles to Module2.swf) My main application handles the logic of loading all the modules at starting and as required as runtime and any module requiring access to another module asks the main application (through the IMyApp interface) for a handle to the other module. Here is my problem. I am trying to access IModule2 from within Module1. I use IMyApp.getModule(Module2) to get a handle to the second module, but when I try to downcast it to IModule2, it throws me an error saying it encountered error with the type coercion. In the error detail it says that it cannot convert a.mod.mod2.Module2 to a.mod.common.IModule2 which stumps me as the class implements that specific interface. If I include all methods from IModule1 and IModule2 into the base interface IAppModule, remove IModule2 entirely and try to cast the IMyApp.getModule(Module2) to IAppModule, it works fine, but this is not what I was looking for. I will end up with one monolithic IAppModule with every method from every module interface. I am not sure what I am missing here. Is there a problem with interface inheritance and modules? When I run a link report for the modules, I am not sure if I am reading the report right, but I do not see IModule2 interface as part of the definitions within script Module2. Can someone please point me in the right direction for this problem? Thank you for your help, Purush

When Flex renders the chart, it squeezes the label making it virtually illegible. Is there a way to allocate enough space for the label to render with proper size. Can I either enforce the font size or a width for the axis to prevent text from shrinking? Thanks, Alex
Re: [flexcoders] Re: My Flex Form - please help
A quick look. You have in sendMyData:: obj.Name = Name.text; obj.Email = Email.text; obj.Message = Message.text; Yet FormComp has: mx:FormItem label=Name: mx:TextInput/ /mx:FormItem mx:FormItem label=Email: mx:TextInput/ /mx:FormItem mx:FormItem label=Message: mx:TextArea/ /mx:FormItem None of the form fields has an id.. Also, mx:Button label=Contact Us fontSize=16 click=sendMyData()/ shows a click handler function sendMyData(), yet there's no function called that in FormComp. sendMydata() is part of the parent application. You can probably get away with referring to Application.application.sendMyData, but that's really bad practice. The coupling of these components is really not as it should be try and build components that can be used standalone without having to refer directly to what is happeining outside. The formComp shouldn't be accessing a handler in the parent application. The form should dispatch a custom event saying that the form has been filled in and that event should include a payload of the form content. The application should listen for that event and despatch a message using the event payload. I would suggest recapping some of your classes.

I have taken a class on AS 3.0 and two on Flex 3 and it was very extensive... getting into OOP. I thought I had things figured out. Could you or someone please look at my code and specifically edit it to work. It is very small and I only need to have one field in the form for demonstration purposes. It might be only a line or two that needs to be changed or added. There are only two files so far. Here's the link: http://fwweb.biz/ContactForm.zip Please email me directly or post the fixed code specifically as it would need to be for this to work. I'll reproduce the code below as well. It's not long. As a note, I did find a free Flex/PHP application that does this. However, I want to figure out how to get the very basic application that I started, working right, instead of just taking something else. I want to figure out the exact logic that would work to accomplish what I am trying. By being real basic, I can focus mainly on the details and concepts that I am getting wrong. The instructor in the two classes I took on Flex Builder 3, stated that I needed an HTTPService tag which calls the php form processing script that emails form results to a specified email address - setting the method to POST. In the form component, I would call an AS 3.0 function that creates the object, obj:Object = new Object(); - then in the function sendMyData, I call the HTTPService send method. It sounds like you are saying that I shouldn't use obj but should use something like this: forms:FormComp id=form/ Then, in the function sendMyData(, I just do it like this: form.Name = Name.text; No, that doesn't work. It still gives me an error saying: Access to undefined property Name. I really didn't follow that either. I thought I would need an object that would have properties sent to the HTTPService request which calls the php form processor which will email me the results. Please, check out the code I include and if you or someone else would, please replace what I did wrong with the right code. That way I can see exactly how to make this work. I just got a little confused when you were saying that I need to use form.Name as I didn't know if you meant just replace that in the function that I have and that we are talking about this on the left or right of the equals sign and if not, then what are we setting equal to form.Name. Lastly, I have two large books for learning AS 3.0 and OOP, ActionScript 3.0 Bible and Flex 3.0 Bible. They are rather extensive and long and AS 3.0 Bible does get into OOP. If you would recommend a different or additional text, please let me know.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: My Flex Form - please help
I completely missed out the fact that the sendMyData() function in the main application refers to fields ( currently with no id) in FormComp, so there are two reasons why, for example, Name.text, cannot be found: The TextInput field has no id and should have an id 'Name' - I already mentioned that. If the field had an id it would be in the FormComp component, not part of the main application. FormComp is in the main application but again has no id. Even with an id you are trying to access fields inside the class that are not public. The real problems are coming from a lack of understanding of scope and the relationship between classes/components.

Re: [flexcoders] Custom event - Create, dispatch, and listen to.
Hi,
Class names should begin with an Uppercase letter. RemoteClick not
remoteClick.
The type String can be lowercase if you want..
Something like the following..
package modulecode
{
import flash.events.Event;
public static const remoteClick:String=remoteClick;
public class RemoteClick extends Event
{
public function RemoteClick(type:String=remoteClick,
bubbles:Boolean=false,
cancelable:Boolean=false)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
}
}
//Some component that dispatches and handles RemoteClick events
MyCanvas
script
public function handleButtonClick():void{
var eventObj:RemoteClick = new RemoteClick(); //no bubble
dispatchEvent(eventObj);
}
public function handleRemoteClickEvent(e:RemoteClick):void{
trace(handleRemoteClick: +e);
}
public function init():void{
addEventListener(remoteClick, handleRemoteClickEvent);
}
/script
mx:FormItem label= textAlign=right
mx:Button label=Run click=handleButtonClick() id=run/
/mx:FormItem
/MyCanvas
Or
//Some component that dispatches RemoteClick events. NOTE : the name of
the event and the type.
MyCanvas2
mx:Metadata
[Event(name=remoteClick, type=modulecode.RemoteClick)]
/mx:Metadata
script
public function handleButtonClick():void{
var eventObj:RemoteClick = new RemoteClick(); //no bubble
dispatchEvent(eventObj);
}
/script
mx:FormItem label= textAlign=right
mx:Button label=Run click=handleButtonClick() id=run/
/mx:FormItem
/MyCanvas2
Use MyCanvas2 in another component..
ACanvas
script
function handleRemoteClick(e:RemoteClick):void{ ... }
/script
MyCanvas2 remoteClick=handleRemoteClick(event) ... /
/ACanvas

Re: [flexcoders] AS equivalent for perl's chop/chomp?
I don't think so...I've never seen one, but what's hard about using String.replace? Aren't the following functionally equivalent? //perl's chomp String.replace(/[\r\n]*$/); //perl's chop String.replace(/.$/); I guess if you really care, you could extend the String class to add them?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Efficiency and objects in the display list
Although normal children of a Container must be a IUIComponent, you can add a plain Sprite as a raw child of a Container: var s:Sprite = new Sprite(); // draw into s.graphics // set s.x, s.y, s.width, and s.height myContainer.rawChildren.addChild(s); A raw child doesn't get managed by the LayoutManager, so you must position and size it yourself.
