Robin Hilliard asked a nice question regarding this last night, in
that will this get around whitelist security? or is it stored
elsewhere and acts as a filter before allowing remote calls to be
made?

The lesson here is:

Don't copy copy the address bar for liveDocs. Copy the page URL within the frameset.

Also, when using setCredentials or passing over any login and password, you can use some type of hashing/encryption.

http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/flex_docs_en/0885.htm#wp126636

'You can also assign access restrictions to entire applications or to any
resource, such as Java classes, using the security-constraint and
web-resource-collection elements in the web.xml file. For more
information on using web application authentication, see your application
server's documentation.'

Re: [flexcoders] Explaining Flex Log In and User Role Functionality to Java Developers

Like Dave said, you could use setCredentials over the pipe to access
remote methods, but for those who are
anti-letting-client-side-have-username-password-stored-locally you
can still leveridge existing session scope compliance.

In that, you can make your backend handle its security model
transparent to FLEX. One case is you could provide an api that asks
the server a question before allowing them to continue..

eg:

var doLogin:Boolean = remoteService.isAuthenticated()

if(!doLogin) {
// show login screen.
}

and...

var isAllowed:Boolean = remoteService.canDeleteRowInGrid(obj.gridID)

if(isAllowed) {
// perform business logic
} else {
// perform exception logic.
}

Obviously thats a really verbose/plain ol simple example of the
concept, but what i'm hinting at is you can leave that "stuff' to
server-side. As with FLEX  you are treated the same as a normal HTML
page (cookies, session scopes etc).

Subject: [flexcoders] E4X in Flex 2.0, part 1: Reading XML

As you may have gathered, we've been spending a lot of time lately
leveraging the new features of the Flash Player in the new Flex
application model. Naturally, you'll also be able to leverage those same
new features, so we thought we'd start giving you a run down of what's
new. Of course we don't have beta software for you to play with yet, so
for now, we'll provide a lot of detail so you can evaluate these new
features and give guidance for us.

XML manipulation in Flex 2.0 is going to get a lot more powerful, as
well as faster. By the time that Flex 2.0 ships, the Flash Player will
support E4X ("ECMAScript for XML"), a set of programming language
extensions adding native XML support to ECMAScript. The player team is
busy implementing Standard ECMA-357 as described in
http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-357.htm.

Here's how the spec describes what this feature offers: "E4X adds native
XML datatypes to the ECMAScript language, extends the semantics of
familiar ECMAScript operators for manipulating XML objects and adds a
small set of new operators for common XML operations, such as searching
and filtering. It also adds support for XML literals, namespaces,
qualified names and other mechanisms to facilitate XML processing."

Lets take a look at a few examples of how you can read XML data using
E4X.

As in the current player, you'll be able to create variables of type XML
by parsing a String. But XML literals will now be supported as well:

var employees:XML =

11 Main St.
San Francisco
CA
98765

99 Broad St.
Newton
MA
01234

;

Instead of using DOM-style APIs like firstChild, nextSibling, etc., with
E4X you just "dot down" to grab the node you want. Multiple nodes are
indexable with [n], similar to the elements of an Array:

trace(employees.employee[0].address.zip);

---

98765

To grab an attribute, you just use the .@ operator:

trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
---

789-789-7890

If you don't pick out a particular node, you get all of them, as an
indexable list:

trace(employees.employee.name);

---

(And note that nodes even toString() themselves into formatted XML!)

A handy double-dot operator lets you omit the "path" down into the XML
expression, so you could shorten the previous three examples to

trace(employees..zip[0]);

trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]  ]);

trace(employees..name);

You can use a * wildcard to get a list of multiple nodes or attributes
with various names, and the resulting list is indexable:

trace(employees.employee[0].address.*);

---

11 Main St.

San Francisco

CA

98765

trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
---

Doe

You don't have to hard-code the identifiers for the nodes or
attributes... they can themselves be variables:

var whichNode:String = "zip";
trace(employees.employee[0].address[whichNode]);

---

98765

var whichAttribute:String = "ssn";
trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
---

789-789-7890

A new for-each loop lets you loop over multiple nodes or attributes:

for each (var ssn:XML in [EMAIL PROTECTED]  )

{

trace(ssn);

}

---

123-123-1234
789-789-7890

Most powerful of all, E4X supports "predicate filtering" using the
syntax .(condition), which lets you pick out nodes or attributes that
meet a condition you specify using a Boolean expression. For example,
you can pick out the employee with a particular social security number
like this, and get her state:

var ssnToFind:String = "789-789-7890";
trace(employees.employee.(@ssn == ssnToFind)..state);
---

MA

Instead of using a simple conditional operator like ==, you can also
write a complicated predicate filtering function to pick out the dat

2005-05-17 Thread Matt Chotin











Do you have a copy of the Developing Rich
Clients book?  The Integration Tier section (primarily chapters 20 and 21)
would probably help you out.   The docs talk about setting up your
J2EE server with authentication support here: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/flex_docs_en/0760.htm.
 You can also point your developers here: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/flex_docs_en/2247.htm
to learn about ways the RemoteObject can get access to the session information
including user roles.

 

I don’t have any explicit examples of login, I think
we have some example code in the docs but I don’t have any code right
now.  

 

As far as your apps noticing when the user’s role is
changed, it certainly won’t come automatically.  You could have your
Flex app occasionally check with a RemoteObject if the role is still valid, but
just like HTML it won’t be immediate.

 

Hope this can get you in the right direction,

Matt

Here's the deal. I have a client putting together a (fairly large) Flex

back-end. 

So they come to me and say "How are we handling logging in a user. Are we

What we've done in the past with Flash (sorry. I know that's a dirty word here)
is have the user log in and have the server pass back a user object that
contains (among other things) a role. If the server doesn't pass the user
object, then they get the login screen again. If the user is logged in, they
see screens/forms per what level their role is set. The security on this new
application is going to need to be a bit more strict.

My problem is this: I am NOT a full-time J2EE developer and the people who are
asking these questions are very experienced J2EE developers. Every time I
attempt to explain to them how we should handle user log in I appearently am
not using the correct words. Can someone either point me to a document that
explains how user log in would normally would be handled with Flex in a J2EE
environment? Or give it to me is easy to understand language so I can relieve

Also, they threw me a curve today: "How do we handle it if a user's role

Re: [flexcoders] Explaining Flex Log In and User Role Functionality to Java Developers

Hi Leif,

I had presented a similar question a few days ago regarding Flex and CF7 which runs on j2EE.

I can share with you what I know, but I am also looking to learn more about security with Remoting, myself.

You should be able to attach setCredentials to your Remote Call. I know
setCredentials is configurable with CFLogin, which compiled down to
Java on J2ee.

Searching the Macromedia site for CFLogin and setCredentials should
yield some additional information. Also, from my recollection, you will
want to check permissions on each request before passing back data.
Within Flex, you could check permissions on the result to see if
permissions have changed.

More info here: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/flex_docs_en/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=""

Also, the carbonFive project will have more information in depth for remoting and Java:

[flexcoders] Explaining Flex Log In and User Role Functionality to Java Developers

2005-05-17 Thread Leif Wells




Here's the deal. I have a client putting together a (fairly large) Flex
application; actually the company that I work for is putting together
the Flex portion and the client and another vendor is putting together
the J2EE back-end. 

So they come to me and say "How are we handling logging in a user. Are we using cookies?" 

What we've done in the past with Flash (sorry. I know that's a dirty
word here) is have the user log in and have the server pass back a user
object that contains (among other things) a role. If the server doesn't
pass the user object, then they get the login screen again. If the user
is logged in, they see screens/forms per what level their role is set.

  'flexcoders@yahoogroups.com'Subject: [flexcoders] E4X in Flex 2.0, 
  part 1: Reading XML
  
  
  As 
  you may have gathered, we've been spending a lot of 
  time lately leveraging the new features of the Flash Player in the new Flex 
  application model. Naturally, you'll also be able to leverage those same new 
  features, so we thought we'd start giving you a run down of what's new. Of 
  course we don't have beta software for you to play with yet, so for now, we'll 
  provide a lot of detail so you can evaluate these new features and give 
  guidance for us.
   
  XML 
  manipulation in Flex 2.0 is going to get a lot more powerful, as well as 
  faster. By the time that Flex 2.0 ships, the Flash Player will support 
  E4X ("ECMAScript for XML"), a set of programming language extensions adding 
  native XML support to ECMAScript. The player team is busy implementing 
  Standard ECMA-357 as described in http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-357.htm.
  
   
  
  Here's how the spec describes 
  what this feature offers: "E4X adds native XML datatypes to the 
  ECMAScript language, extends the semantics of familiar ECMAScript operators 
  for manipulating XML objects and adds a small set of new operators for common 
  XML operations, such as searching and filtering. It also adds support for XML 
  literals, namespaces, qualified names and other mechanisms to facilitate XML 
  processing."
  
   
  
  Lets take a look at a few examples 
  of how you can read XML data using E4X.
  
   
  
  As in the current player, you'll 
  be able to create variables of type XML by parsing a String. But XML literals 
  will now be supported as well:
  
   
  
      var 
  employees:XML =    
      
      
      
      
  11 Main 
  St.    
  San 
  Francisco    
  CA    
  98765    
      
      
      
      
      
  99 Broad 
  St.    
  Newton    
  MA    
  01234    
      
      
  ;
  
   
  
  Instead of using DOM-style APIs 
  like firstChild, nextSibling, etc., with E4X you just "dot down" to grab the 
  node you want. Multiple nodes are indexable with [n], similar to the 
  elements of an Array:
  
   
  
      
  trace(employees.employee[0].address.zip);
  
      
  ---
  
      
  98765
  
   
  
  To grab an attribute, you 
  just use the .@ operator:
  
   
  
      
  trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]);    
  ---
  
  
      
  789-789-7890
  
   
  
  If you don't pick out a particular 
  node, you get all of them, as an indexable list:
  
   
  
      
  trace(employees.employee.name);
  
      
  ---
  
      
  
      
  
   
  
  (And note that nodes even 
  toString() themselves into formatted XML!)
  
   
  
  
  A handy double-dot operator lets 
  you omit the "path" down into the XML _expression_, so you could shorten the 
  previous three examples to
  
   
  
      
  trace(employees..zip[0]);
  
  
      
  trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]]);
  
  
      
  trace(employees..name);
  
   
  You can use a * wildcard 
  to get a list of multiple nodes or attributes with various names, and the 
  resulting list is indexable:
  
   
  
      
  trace(employees.employee[0].address.*);
  
      
  ---
  
      
  11 Main St.
  
      
  San Francisco
  
      
  CA
  
      
  98765
  
      
  trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]);    
  ---
  
      
  Doe
  
   
  
  You don't have to hard-code the 
  identifiers for the nodes or attributes... they can themselves be 
  variables:
  
  
  
   
  
      var 
  whichNode:String = "zip";    
  trace(employees.employee[0].address[whichNode]);
  
      
  ---
  
      
  98765
  
   
  
  
      var 
  whichAttribute:String = "ssn";    
  trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]);    
  ---
  
      
  789-789-7890
  
   
  
  A new for-each loop lets you 
  loop over multiple nodes or attributes:
  
   
  
      for each (var 
  ssn:XML in [EMAIL PROTECTED])
  
      
  {
  
      
  trace(ssn);
  
      
  }

RE: [flexcoders] RemoteObject source="" bug?

2005-05-17 Thread Matt Chotin











Yeah, RemoteObject requires the classname
to be set at compile-time in the tag, no binding allowed.  That’s a bug
that it didn’t raise a compiler error.  In 2.0 we’re trying to
allow a lot more runtime tweaking of all of our services including RemoteObject
to allow things like this.

Indy @ Straker noticed today that you can't use
source="{binding.to.a.obj.value}" in
mx:RemoteObject?

In that it appears it ignores the fact that the
curly braces are there
and simply takes it as string value ..

ie:
call "{binding.to.a.obj.value}.doMethod()" 
is the invocation attempt via Debug.

I did find a a work-around in that you could do:

function initRemoteObjectService() {

// tricks the flex compiler.
serviceID['__serviceName'] =
binding.to.a.obj.value;

}

but seems dodge ? is it a bug or was that meant to
be the case in
terms of assigning dynamic values to the source
attribute.

[flexcoders] Re: combobox selectedIndex

2005-05-17 Thread alex_harui

The code snippet worked fine for me if the intervals property is an 
array of strings.  Is it possible you are initializing intervals from a 
web service call?  If so, you have a timing problem in that the 
selected index was set long before the data arrived (actually it 
thought it had zero rows of data).  In such a case you should reset the 
selected index when the data arrives.

RE: [flexcoders] Displaying dynamic HTML file in a Flex Window

Hi,
 
There is no current component 
that allows you to display HTML from a particular URL (like an IFRAME in HTML). 

 
You will have design the site 
in such a way that hopefully once the user arrives the Flex UI, he/she uses 
the UI to do some work and doesn't go back  'n' forth constantly and thus 
have the Flex UI re-load every time.

[flexcoders] Re: Custom Component Help

2005-05-17 Thread alex_harui

I could be wrong, but I think you are trying to specify data for a 
component in xml.  The only way I know to do this is to specify a 
property of type XML then assign it and pick it apart.  Here's a mini-
example:

Test.MXML









alexButton.as

class alexButton extends Button
{
function init()
{
super.init();
label = "foo";
}

var __data:XML;

function get xmlData():XML
{
return __data;
}

function set xmlData(data:XML)
{
__data = data;
invalidateProperties();
}

function commitProperties()
{
if (__data)
{
trace("setting label for " + this + " " + 
__data.firstChild.nodeName);
label = __data.firstChild.attributes.name;
}
}

}

In theory you could drop your entire XML structure where my  is and then write more code in commitProperties to 
initialize the component.

  features, so we thought we'd start giving you a run down of what's new. Of

  XML 
  manipulation in Flex 2.0 is going to get a lot more powerful, as well as 
  faster. By the time that Flex 2.0 ships, the Flash Player will support 
  E4X ("ECMAScript for XML"), a set of programming language extensions adding 
  native XML support to ECMAScript. The player team is busy implementing 
  Standard ECMA-357 as described in http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-357.htm.
  
   
  
  Here's how the spec describes 
  what this feature offers: "E4X adds native XML datatypes to the

  for manipulating XML objects and adds a small set of new operators for common 
  XML operations, such as searching and filtering. It also adds support for XML 
  literals, namespaces, qualified names and other mechanisms to facilitate XML 
  processing."
  
   
  
  Lets take a look at a few examples 
  of how you can read XML data using E4X.
  
   
  
  As in the current player, you'll 
  be able to create variables of type XML by parsing a String. But XML literals 
  will now be supported as well:

  01234    
      
      
  ;
  
   
  
  Instead of using DOM-style APIs 
  like firstChild, nextSibling, etc., with E4X you just "dot down" to grab the 
  node you want. Multiple nodes are indexable with [n], similar to the 
  elements of an Array:
  
   
  
      
  trace(employees.employee[0].address.zip);
  
      
  ---
  
      
  98765
  
   
  
  To grab an attribute, you 
  just use the .@ operator:
  
   
  
      
  trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]);    
  ---
  
  
      
  789-789-7890
  
   
  
  If you don't pick out a particular 
  node, you get all of them, as an indexable list:
  
   
  
      
  trace(employees.employee.name);
  
      
  ---
  
      
  
      
  
   
  
  (And note that nodes even 
  toString() themselves into formatted XML!)
  
   
  
  
  A handy double-dot operator lets 
  you omit the "path" down into the XML _expression_, so you could shorten the 
  previous three examples to
  
   
  
      
  trace(employees..zip[0]);
  
  
      
  trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]]);
  
  
      
  trace(employees..name);
  
   
  You can use a * wildcard 
  to get a list of multiple nodes or attributes with various names, and the 
  resulting list is indexable:
  
   
  
      
  trace(employees.employee[0].address.*);

  You don't have to hard-code the 
  identifiers for the nodes or attributes... they can themselves be 
  variables:

  whichNode:String = "zip";

As 
you may have gathered, we've been spending a lot of

application model. Naturally, you'll also be able to leverage those same new 
features, so we thought we'd start giving you a run down of what's new. Of

faster. By the time that Flex 2.0 ships, the Flash Player will support E4X 
("ECMAScript for XML"), a set of programming language extensions adding native

manipulating XML objects and adds a small set of new operators for common XML 
operations, such as searching and filtering. It also adds support for XML 
literals, namespaces, qualified names and other mechanisms to facilitate XML

Lets take a look at a few examples 
of how you can read XML data using E4X.

 

As in the current player, you'll be 
able to create variables of type XML by parsing a String. But XML literals will 
now be supported as well:

employees:XML =

Instead of using DOM-style APIs like 
firstChild, nextSibling, etc., with E4X you just "dot down" to grab the node you 
want. Multiple nodes are indexable with [n], similar to the elements of an 
Array:

 

    
trace(employees.employee[0].address.zip);

    
---

    
98765

 

To grab an attribute, you just 
use the .@ operator:

 

    
trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]);    
---


    
789-789-7890

 

If you don't pick out a particular 
node, you get all of them, as an indexable list:

 

    
trace(employees.employee.name);

    
---

    

    

 

(And note that nodes even 
toString() themselves into formatted XML!)

 


A handy double-dot operator lets you 
omit the "path" down into the XML _expression_, so you could shorten the previous 
three examples to

 

    
trace(employees..zip[0]);

You can use a * wildcard to get 
a list of multiple nodes or attributes with various names, and the resulting 
list is indexable:

---

You don't have to hard-code the 
identifiers for the nodes or attributes... they can themselves be 
variables:



 

    var 
whichNode:String = "zip";    
trace(employees.employee[0].address[whichNode]);

    
---

    var

Instead of using DOM-style APIs like

want. Multiple nodes are indexable with [n], similar to the elements of an 
Array:

(And note that nodes even

A handy double-dot operator lets you

You don't have to hard-code the 
identifiers for the nodes or attributes... they can themselves be

---

    
789-789-7890

 

A new for-each loop lets you 
loop over multiple nodes or attributes:

 

    for each (var 
ssn:XML in [EMAIL PROTECTED])

    
{

    
trace(ssn);

    
}

    
---

    
123-123-1234    789-789-7890

 

Most powerful of all, E4X supports 
"predicate filtering" using the syntax .(condition), which lets you pick

_expression_. For example, you can pick out the employee with a particular social

trace(employees.employee.(@ssn == ssnToFind)..state);

MA

 

Instead of using a simple 
conditional operator like ==, you can also write a complicated predicate 
filtering function to pick out the data you need.

 

By the way, 
although none of my examples use XML 
namespaces, E4X has complete support for them.

 

Compared with the current XML 
support in the Flash Player, E4X allows you to write less code and execute 
it faster because more processing can be done at the native speed of 
C++.

 

Since E4X is so powerful, we're 
working to make Flex 2.0 play nicely with it. Components like List, 
ComboBox, and DataGrid will be able to accept E4X expressions like 
employees..name as a dataProvider. The  tag will be able to 
declare an E4X-style XML object in MXML. WebService and HTTPService will be able 
to deliver E4X-style XML objects across the wire, and they'll use the speed of 
E4X to do their own work (such as c

[flexcoders] Displaying dynamic HTML file in a Flex Window

2005-05-17 Thread Brett Palmer

We have a Flex application that needs to integrate with a third party
web (JSP) application.  We would prefer displaying the HTML pages from
the third party application in a child Flex windows (like a dialog
box) to make the applications appear as one.  Is there a Flex
component that can display an HTML page from another web application?

The applications reside on the same server so this should not break
any browser security policies.


Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: [flexcoders] DataGrid.labelFunction






Just a guess looking at the Flash code (if someone 
could confirm in the REAL Flex classes which I haven't got).
 
- it seems mx.controls.listclasses.SelectableRow 
has it's owner property set when it's created to know scope.  This scope is 
used to call labelFunction.
- SelectableRow is the default cellRenderer for 
ScrollSelect list, which DataGrid extends.  SelectableRow creates rows 
using ScrollSelectList by default for the cellRenderer, which he sets the owner to this, the DataGrid
- since the DataGrid's labelFunction property is 
already set, when the SelectableRow is looking for a label, and calls 
labelFunction on the DataGrid, it's really doing: 
theDataGrid.labelFunction(object)
 
Now, since Flex changes this, so for DataGrids you 
also get the columnName, I'm thinking that change might of not been tested 
heavily with DataGrids in ViewStacks.
 
Either that, or I'm missing something horribly 
obvious.
 
Anyone have a 
mx.controls.listclasses.SelectableRow.as file to send me for Flex so I can 
see?

[flexcoders] Custom Component Help

2005-05-17 Thread Jason

Hello!

I'm getting started with a custom Flex component (based on 
ComboBox), and running into a bit of difficulty.  

I bought, the "developing rich clients with macromedia flex" book, 
and have to say it comes very close in helping but I'm still stuck.  
BTW thanks Steve & Alistair for writing a great book.

I've developed a previous Flash application that has a custom 
dropdown component which already takes the following XML to 
initialize itself.  (XML generated outside of the Flash 
application), I'd like to take the exact same XML and wrap it into a 
Custom Flex Component, but XML structure below is presenting some 
problems...

One of the issues is that while I can create a class named Prefix to 
match the  tag...The Prefix class cannot take attributes on 
itself, I get an error message if I try, "Property elements may not 
have attributes.".  I would have to have them in another child tag.  
This is somewhat like the Portfolio and Account Objects described on 
page 61 of the book, except my "Account" tag was not embedded in 
a "CurrentAccount" tag.

I understand I could wrap these in either my own tags where the 
attributes would be in another child tag, or  tags, or 
put the whole Component XML in an  tag, but all of these 
require changing my existing XML structure which I don't really want 
to do.

I'm also having trouble with the  tag in a similar fashion.  I 
tried using an instance variable of type object, or string, but that 
won't work, I pretty much need a class for it, but since there is no 
attribute holding it's value, I'm stuck there as well.

Please help!
Thanks,
Jason

I can trace out that it's actually setting the

I've tried setting the ViewStack hosting this

creationLayout instead of all, and used
childrenCreated to defer the actual

Nothing works.

i think you forgot some resources (procust images) at

We 
didn't forget, we chose not to ship the images  it's in the Installation 
guide how to
copy 
them from 
Flex samples. 

  and 
  the installation guide needs to be fixed regarding the DB path , the default 
  ..\\db\\ in store.cfg is not working.
  (and i have tried all combinations -:-) i had to specify a full path to 
  that . 
It's going to be 
appserver specific; let us know your appserver and appserver paths, and we

You can put an absolute instead of relative URL in store.cfg for HSQLDB if

RE: [flexcoders] Is there a way to schedule something with Flex











Sure, but you will need to build it.

 

I’d create an associative array
consisting of and id as key/property name, and, as the value, either simple
time number, or an object if you want to store more complex data.

Var oOpSpec:Object = new
Object();

oOpSpec.datetime = scheduledDateTime;

oScheduledOperations[myOperationId]
= oOpSpec;

Then you’d need a conditional
function to check the scheduled time against the current time.

Var oOpSpecCur:Object = oScheduledOperations[myOperationId];

    If
(oOpSpecCur.datetime < dateTimeNow) return true;

The benefit of the associative array is
you won’t have to iterate through and compare keys to access, add or
modify a scheduled item, but you should check for undefined.

TitleWindow is popped up.  Does anyone have advice or examples of events
being used with TitleWindow popups?

[flexcoders] Re: cell render problem

2005-05-17 Thread Rajesh Jayabalan

Hi Sree,

 That helped an another solution that I found was to use

combo.dataProvider = parentDocument.clTypeSrv.result.types.type; 

in my setValue method of the cell renderer.

Now my combobox is showing up fine, but it is not selecting any thing
by default and when I select some option and move to a diffent row I
see [object,object] in there. I think this is because the example I am
using does not have a data and a label while mine has

the xml I am using is

 

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   



my setValue looks like

function setValue( str : String, item : Object, selection : String ) :
Void
  {
  //combo.dataProvider = parentDocument.clTypeSrv.result.types.type;
if ( item == undefined )
{
  comboLabel.visible = false;
  combo.visible = false;
  return;
}

if ( selection == "normal" || selection == "highlighted" )
{
  comboLabel.text = item[ getDataLabel() ];
  combo.visible = false;
  comboLabel.visible = true;
}
else if ( selection == "selected" )
{
  selectedItem = item;
  
  for( var i = 0; i < combo.dataProvider.length; i++ )
  {
if( combo.dataProvider[i] == item[ getDataLabel() ] )
{
   combo.selectedIndex = i;
   break;
}
  }
  comboLabel.visible = false;
  combo.visible = true;
  combo.setFocus( false );
}
  }

I thought maybe there might be a method getData in the list that I can
use but I don't think there is one.

I am not sure how to more forward

On some of the views that are effected I'm using events to clear out
what's shown, but others are simply displayed.  I'm also having the same

the Accordian.

This is the same thing: a render issue, not compile issue.  Sometimes it
works, sometimes it doesn't but I have no clue what triggers it!

Hmm, this is getting very annoying...

The way to make it fast is to cache the generated JPEGs on the server.
 The GIF-to-JPEG conversion is what takes up most of the time.

RE: [flexcoders] XML vs Model?

One of my issues with Model is I had trouble determining how the xml was
going to be deserialized into the object.  What happens to attributes?
What happens to child nodes and text nodes?

Since I was comfortable with xml I mostly stuck with that.  I haven't
even needed the available Xpath library yet.  And I hear that improved
XML support is on the way.

They are similar things IMO. If you specify a source file for XML or
Model
tag, source (xml)file is compiled into swf. So no loading on runtime but
a
large initial swf size. P

I think, Model should be good at performance because it is simple Object
not
a XMLNode.

Subject: [flexcoders] XML vs Model?

I've got a external source that pulls in XML file (config).

Now, I'm having my own internal debate as to which of the two is
betterere?

I've noticed no real signficant performance gains (via profiler) with
using either, the only thing it kind of brings to the table is that
you can access a node XYZ levels deep by using property chains
(parent.child.infant.siblings).

Thats fine, but this will be parsed once-off, and i've found that i've
i go the XML route (ie writing my own specific parser, it tends to be
less work.

(in that i've found that you have nodes in your XML that are using the
same name, but can be either 1 or more, you have to test to see if the
node in question is an array, otherwise its a literal object and treat
it as such - when using model vs childNodes approach via XML (which is
always array).

What's folks here input on pro's / con's of XML vs Model?

I got a similar problem a few months ago when i changed the width of a

I did try everything but in the end i made 2 sliders with corresponding 
values and instead of resizing i did a show/hide trick.

Will try or i can setup a sample which reproduces it.

RE: [flexcoders] Question about error message











You often will not find the offending code
in your own source though.  Sometimes it is in the way the flex compiler
generates the underlying AS classes.

 

This has been thoroughly discussed, but
here are a few pointers:


 mxml
 files with large amounts of UI code PLUS moderate amounts of AS code are a
 problem
 Putting
 AS code into a file included with mx:Script source-“” does NOT
 help
 Putting
 AS code in a class helps a lot.
 If
 your app is fairly well “refactored” or modularized already,
 try adding some more code, even if it is bogus.  This can trick the
 flex compiler into breaking your code into smaller bits, thereby avoiding
 the problem.
 Run
 the app with debug=true.  This causes debug code to be added to the
 generated code, and if you can then compile an run, you almost certainly
 have the boundary issue noted above.

Ok I was writing a rather large mxml file one that is about

actually removed like about a few hundred lines of code to make the application
smaller. So what has me so confused is why am I getting a message saying its
exceeded the 32K span?

I'm trying to print some charts along with a header.  In my app, the
header (a GridRow) is hidden until the print function is called, but for
some reason I CANNOT get the item to show in time to be sent to the
printer.

I tried setting up a separate function to show the header and then have
the actual print function fire when the show event of the GridRow is
fired.  STILL it does not work.

In general, I have to say that my experience with printing in Flex
leaves a great deal to be desired.  As reporting is a vital function in
enterprise contexts, I can only hope that the print implementation is
more refined in future releases.

If you load images and such from Flex, then the web browser caches
those.  Unfortunately it can be hard to refresh these sometimes (based
on what I've heard here).  One trick I know is to append a random
string to the end of the image URL.  Do this in ActionScript.  See
this example:

Your JSP needs to return valid XML.  Or you could set resultFormat to "text".

Is there a way to turn off caching in Flex? I have stuff coming up in
my browser whose objects I deleted two iterations ago : ) Makes it
hard to do development. The problem occurs in FB as well as Eclipse.

I found this on the web: false for the
flex-config file, but evidently that line went away with the advent of
Flex 1.5. becuz it just gives an error when I add it.

Re: [flexcoders] How to render cell to be in edit mode dynamically through cell renderer

2005-05-17 Thread Jim Laing

Hey Pradeep,

I've done this very thing using the date field as a cell renderer, so
it is possible, but I did it using a subclass of the DataGrid instead
of event listeners. Using event listeners instead is an interesting
approach, and if you can get it to work, would be superior to using a
subclass.

One thing to try: There is a boolean isCellEditor that the DataGrid
looks for in a cell renderer to decide if it should create a TextInput
cell editor or not. Try including a line like:
var isCellEditor : Boolean = true;

Using the subclassed datagrid approach, I've already posted some
sample code that does this with a combo box instead of a date field.
Check out the following message:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/14768. E-mail me off
list if you want the code for the Date Field cell renderer.

under the "create new..." heading are displayed fine.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?  Has anyone seen this
before?

Thanks,

Tim.

Hi Jeff,

I tried to view the code from FlexAuthority.com for the google maps

Do you know where I can view the code for this flex based google

RE: [flexcoders] combobox selectedIndex

2005-05-17 Thread Allen Manning

Title: Mercury Email Signature





Shlomi,
 
One possibility is that you are setting the index of the combobox before 
the databinding fires.  Thus:
 
1.  It attempts to set the index to 2.
2.  It sees the dataprovider has length 0.
3.  It silently fails at runtime.
 
some time goes by
 
4.  The dataprovider is populated by 
databinding.
 
You might want to try this:
 
    
private function getMySelectedIndex(intervals:Object):Number
    
{
    

    return(2);
 
    
}
 
 
 
selectedIndex="{getMySelectedIndex(intervals)}"/>
 
When 'intervals' changes it fires off a call to the local function 
getMySelectedIndex via databinding.
 
 
HTH,
Allen

It doesn't sound like it applies to your situation, but XML works better

I've got a external source that pulls in XML file (config).

Now, I'm having my own internal debate as to which of the two is
betterere?

I've noticed no real signficant performance gains (via profiler)
with
using either, the only thing it kind of brings to the table is
that
you can access a node XYZ levels deep by using property chains
(parent.child.infant.siblings).

Thats fine, but this will be parsed once-off, and i've found
that i've
i go the XML route (ie writing my own specific parser, it tends
to be
less work.

(in that i've found that you have nodes in your XML that are
using the
same name, but can be either 1 or more, you have to test to see
if the
node in question is an array, otherwise its a literal object and
treat
it as such - when using model vs childNodes approach via XML
(which is
always array).

What's folks here input on pro's / con's of XML vs Model?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: BiDi/right-to-left support in Flex

2005-05-17 Thread David Mendels

Hi,

We understand the need for RTL/Bi-Di text and want to get this into the
Flash Player as soon as possible.  However, it is not in the upcoming
release, so it will be some time before this can happen.  Please don't
make any plans assuming we will be able to make it work.

I know this is unfortunate for a number of uses of Flex and we want to
fix it.  But it is a significant engineering change to the Flash Player
and we can't just "squeeze it in".  I can't make any predictions yet
about when we will get it in, but for your planning purposes certainly
please do not expect it in the next 12 months. :(

David

[flexcoders] Disappearing images in custom cell renderer

What is it with me and images at the moment...?

Anyway, I'm having trouble with displaying thumbnails in a custom cell
renderer within a TileList component.  The code for the cell renderer is
displayed below (AssetThumbnail.mxml) and the line that defines the
TileList is also shown (ThumbnailView.mxml).

When the user clicks on a given item, a search is performed which
populates the aAssetSearch array with the appropriate Asset instances to
display thumbnails for; this is then bound to the TileList as the
dataProvider.  When the list of images are displayed, one of the
following happens:

 1. the thumbnail displays correctly;
 2. displays correctly, then after a second or so vanishes;
 3. nothing is displayed.

My guess is that #3 is actually #2 happening very quickly so the "in
between" redraw doesn't actually happen.  I can often get the missing
images to redisplay by performing a new search and then going back to
the original, at which point the original search's assets have already
been pulled back from the database and cached.  Sometimes this can be
achieved by scrolling the TileList up and down to redraw the appropriate
cells.  Neither of these two methods either works 100% of the time, and
quite often the cells remain blank.

This pointed me towards the thought that there was something strange
going on with the Asset instances that meant they weren't returning the
appropriate URL for the image, or it was being returned and then reset.
However, I tried adding a trace into the dynamic "get" function for the
thumbnail URL (see code for Asset.as below) and all looks fine (i.e. it
returned the URL correctly).

Has anyone got any idea why this may be happening?

Thanks,

Tim.


ThumbnailView.mxml:
---





AssetThumbnail.mxml:



http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";
 width="100%" height="100%" horizontalAlign="center"
 verticalAlign="middle" toolTip="{asset.title}">

[flexcoders] How to render cell to be in edit mode dynamically through cell renderer

2005-05-17 Thread Pradeep

I am trying to use a Custom Date Cell Renderer which goes in edit mode
only when cell gains focus on it. Otherwise a label displays formatted
Date value.

Following is the code for the DateRenderer :-

import mx.core.UIComponent
import mx.core.UIObject
import mx.controls.DateField
import mx.controls.Label
import mx.controls.Alert
import mx.formatters.DateFormatter

class common.control.DateRenderer extends UIComponent{
var dateObj:DateField;
var label:Label;
var dateFormat: DateFormatter;
var listOwner : MovieClip;
var getDataLabel : Function;
var getCellIndex : Function;
var __value;

public function DateRenderer(){
dateFormat = new DateFormatter();
dateFormat.formatString="MM-DD-";
this.addEventListener("focusIn", this);
this.addEventListener("focusOut", this);
}

function createChildren(Void) : Void{
super.createChildren();
createClassObject( Label, "label", 1, {owner:this});
label.width=80;
}

//Display date field for editing on focus.
function focusIn() : Void { 
createClassObject( DateField, "dateObj", 2, {owner:this});
dateObj.width=80;
dateObj.dateFormatter = this.formatDate;
dateObj.selectedDate = __value;
dateObj.addEventListener("change", this);   
label.visible = false;
dateObj.visible = true;
}

 //Remove date field and make label visible again.
function focusOut() : Void {
dateObj.visible = false;
label.visible = true;
destroyObject("dateObj");
}

//Format function
function formatDate(itemDate){
return dateFormat.format(itemDate);
}

function setValue( str:String, item:Object, sel:Boolean ) : Void{
if(item != undefined){
label.text= formatDate( item[getDataLabel()]);
__value =  item[getDataLabel()];
label.visible = true;
}
}

function getValue() : String {  
return __value;
}

function getPreferredWidth(Void) : Number{
return 80;
}

function getPreferredHeight(Void) : Number{
return 30;
}

function change() {
listOwner.editField(getCellIndex().itemIndex,
getDataLabel(), dateObj.selectedDate);
__value = dateObj.selectedDate;
   
  // Fire Cell edit event for the DataGrid on date change
listOwner.dispatchEvent({type:"cellEdit",
columnIndex:getCellIndex().columnIndex,
itemIndex:getCellIndex().itemIndex});
}

}

Intially label displays the formatted date. But on clicking on the
cell default editor(textfield) is displayed. Can somebody please help
on what could be causing this problem.

Can i create my own custom editor just like the default text editor?

Thanks in advance,
Pradeep

[flexcoders] Image not being resized in mx:Image tag

Hello,

I'm having trouble with images not resizing to fit the  tag
specfied (and also with SWFs not resizing to fit the appropriate
).  An example can be seen at the following URL, where the
image (green boxes) *should* be contained within the grey box top right:

http://kryten.rawnet.com/flex/flex-corrupt.html#lgimage

The MXML to output the image is as follows:



Extra information:
 - "assetURL" is a simple string like http://server/path/
 - "asset" is an instance of an AS class
 - "asset.assetURL" is a dynamic property of the "asset" instance,
   with an appropriate changeEvent defined

Any idea why this should be the case?

Thanks,

Tim.
