How is the performance on your machine of the samples in my links ? - trying to isolate player/setStyle performance from application code efficiency.
Thank you,

Matt,
I placed typical business case to show the performance issues based on hardware used:
 
case 1 : 
basic  grid - no formatting or styling
case 2:  
basic grid with typical formatting - no styling
case 3:  
typical usage of formatting and styling - IMPLEMENTED VIA RUN-TIME CSS AND COMPUTED EXPRESSIONS - very straightforward code 
 
While performance is reasonable on midrange 2 year old PC, my business laptop is very sluggish , however multimedia one with good graphics chip and slower CPU works faster then PC. 
 
Here is the source for the business case:

Well DataGrid scrolling performance is something that we've spent a lot of time tuning so I would love for us to get a full test case that we can look at.  I saw in the thread you linked mentioning a 1600x1200 monitor, is the DataGrid taking up most of that real estate?  The more visible rows the slower the scrolling will be.  Another thing you could look at is in your setter for the data comparing against the old value and if it hasn't changed not doing anything, it may be that it's invalidating too often?  I'll ask one of the people who worked on performance if she has any thoughts.

Well, specifically I had a DataGrid using this for the itemRenderer:
package nes {  import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridListData ;  import mx.controls.Label;  public class SignColorItemRenderer extends Label {    public var negativeColor:uint = 0xFF;    public var positiveColor:uint = 0x008000; 
    public var zeroColor:uint;     override public function set data(value:Object):void {  super.data = "">  var n:Number = data[DataGridListData(listData).dataField];  if (n < 0) 
    setStyle("color", negativeColor);   else if (n > 0)    setStyle("color", positiveColor);  else if (n == 0)    setStyle("color", zeroColor);    } 
  }}I brought it up in this thread: 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/43243;_ylc=X3oDMTM3cWM2MG9mBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyMjg2MTY3BGdycHNwSWQDMTYwMDAwNzIwNwRtc2dJZAM0MzI2MwRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawN2dHBjBHN0aW1lAzExNTI4NTY4NDUEdHBjSWQDNDMyNDM- 
I tried LOADS of different ways to do it.  I found that anytime I put much of any extra code in, it took away from the responsiveness.  Even replacing the above data procedure with just a single setStyle statement.  As I said, it's not horrible.  But I definitely notice it. 
The other main thing I can point out is some sluggishness when resizing the browser window and having it resize/relayout the Flex app.  But it's hard to tell how much of that is the browser and how much is Flex.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Tools for listing objects

2006-07-27 Thread Matt Chotin













Using a dictionary isn’t completely
reliable because the garbage collector will only free up what it needs.  If the
window isn’t taking too much space the collector may not go ahead and
clean it up for a while.  The weak reference only says “take it if you
need it” but it’s not guaranteed that if the only reference is weak
that it will disappear immediately.  That’s why we trigger garbage
collection by creating a bunch of objects, it’s to force the GC into
thinking it needs the space for allocation.

Really, what im looking for, is some way to check if
an object no 
longer exists. I thought a weak reference in the dictionary might 
work for me, but after 14 hours of inactivity, those weak references 
are still there. 

Am i misunderstanding the nature of a weak reference? Is there some 
other way that I can test to see if a given object still exists?

[flexcoders] ArrayCollection

2006-07-27 Thread jtooley_1999

Hi all,

I am banging my head against the wall on this one.

We have an app that runs on two different servers.
One calls a CFC and uses 
The other one calls a java servlet using  but they both
retrieve the same data.

With the CFC we are using remoting and we can access the data by going

public function geoResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
countries = event.result.countries as ArrayCollection;
// difference
blah blah blah... more code
}

and to call it


This works great.

But with .. using that way returns null.. so we have to
use the following

public function geoResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
countries = new ArrayCollection(event.result.countries
as Array); // difference
blah blah blah... more code
}



Can anyone explain the difference of using a variable as an
ArrayCollection instead of declaring new ArrayCollection()

Thanks
Jeremy Tooley

My most "real" application has been an ad-hoc query builder.  We have some financial reporting that it broken down into various fields: branch, quarter, period, that kind of thing.  So I gave each field an accordion pane and filled it with the values

[flexcoders] ArrayCollections

2006-07-27 Thread Jeremy Tooley

Hi all,

I am banging my head against the wall on this one.

We have an app that runs on two different servers.
One calls a CFC and uses 
The other one calls a java servlet using  but they both 
retrieve the same data.

With the CFC we are using remoting and we can access the data by going

public function geoResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
 countries = event.result.countries as ArrayCollection;  
// difference
blah blah blah... more code   
}

and to call it


This works great.

But with .. using that way returns null.. so we have to 
use the following

public function geoResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
countries = new ArrayCollection(event.result.countries 
as Array);  // difference
blah blah blah... more code   
}



Can anyone explain the difference of using a variable as an 
ArrayCollection instead of declaring new ArrayCollection()

Thanks
Jeremy Tooley

[flexcoders] Re: Image Pan - Step 1

2006-07-27 Thread richmcgillicuddy

Figured out the partial image thing. If the Image component is inside
of anything but a canvas and I set the height and width of the
component to 100% it resizes the image and crops the rest of it.

RE: [Junk E-Mail - LOW] Re: [flexcoders] Flex Builder 2 plugin woes...






Somehow my thread got hijacked, so I'll ask the group 
again... any clue to my original problem?Adobe support claims that me 
installing the Flex Builder Plugin and it not working does not fall under the 
scope of installation support, even though, and I quote, "A completed installation is 
determined by the successful first run of the Adobe application."
 
Sounds like Adobe is all for getting people excited about 
Flex, but when it comes to tech support after you buy the product, they don't 
want anything to do with you.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 2: how to convert a remote XML file to a self defined object

2006-07-27 Thread junhufr

Actually, I just use a common way to retrive the data from XML file,
since the e4x, i found that in the HTTPService, we should add
resultFormat="e4x", then the object invoked from HTTPService will be
the e4x. After then, I just declare all XML tab names in the
FrontController class. Then I got a common way to retrive the data,
every time, just change the XML file and the XML tab definitions in
the FrontController class. All will be fine.


Any way, thanks for your help.

[flexcoders] getItemIndex(someObj) -- mx_internal_uid

2006-07-27 Thread Wayne McFetridge

I'm looking at doing this to prevent drag from datagrid into a" 
favourites" panel if the user already has that item in favs.

Drag from data gird, the panel that may receives the drop does a check 
of the "favourites" arraycollection  via

"*model.favourites,getItemIndex(theItemImDragging)*"

and if returns -1 accepts the drop otherwise no go.

The arraycollection of favourites and the arraycollection in the grid's 
dataProvider are both just arraycollections of my own WineVO.

Docs say that getItemAt returns -1 if the obj is not in the 
ArrayCollection and mentions an "exact match".

My question is "does this exact match take into account the 
"*mx_internal_uid*" that flex carries around in each item in an 
arraycollection?
I'm  guessing it does because when I drag a "new" item into my panel I 
accept the drop and then if i try to repeat I get no drop, as I want.

If however I  do another search, returning similar finds and try to drop 
them it allows the drop to happen and I get duplicates in my favourites.

I'm seeing that the only difference is the "*mx_internal_uid*" is 
obviously different in the datagrids arraycollection dataprovider.


Any way of handling this, or doing it differently

RE: [flexcoders] Re: A bug with flash player 9??













The way you have it set up you can’t
be sure the send is getting called.  Put it in a function so you can alert or
trace when it is called.

 

I don’t see how you are testing the
return?  There is no result handler defined, so you must be using binding. 
Binding is hard to debug.  Use a result handler and display an alert when it
gets called.

[flexcoders] textInput autocommit?

2006-07-27 Thread ryan harlin

I posted a similar question with more explanation but
I'll simplify since I probably bored people away from
answering:


How do I get a textInput field to autocommit to my
data source (FDS)?  On leaving the field I want the
changes to update the database but I can't seem to
figure it out.  I can get it work on pressing the
enter key but not upon losing focus.

2006-07-27 Thread Evan Gifford













Awesome, Thanks Steven!

 

I’ll make the changes from Dan and re-submit! :^)

 

I know your vocabulary is as precise as a laser beam, so did
I get all the terminology correct?

 

I.E. “Enlist the appropriate command”, “enlists
the application-tier service” and “Business Delegate relays
response back to command”

(Please keep in mind that I have no experience with
Cairngorm as of yet, which is why I’m not entirely confident with the
terminology)

 

As far as hosting goes, you can have the source file and do
with it what you want, but I am also happy to host it.

I’ll send you all permanent URL soon as it’s
finished and uploaded.

 

Thanks again!

-Evan

Evan,

This diagram looks great; conceptually I think you have it captured. A
few thoughts:

1. Steven, not Stephen ;)
2. Might it make more sense visually to have the controller strip
in between the model and the view ? But then again, that's why I'm
not working in our UX practice... ;)
3. In your view strip, another type "Caringorm" instead of
Cairngorm.

Great work though - will you keep this in a consistent place, so we can
link to this from www.adobe.com/go/cairngorm/ ?

Good work,

Steven

Awesome! I knew there must have been a
diagram posted here before.

 

Thanks Koen!

 

I’ll incorporate the best parts of
this, but I think this chart can benefit from the separation of the MVC as
layers in the diagram. Since I’m fairly new to the MVC separation of
classes, I tried to incorporate this into the diagram.

 

Also, I’ll happily pass along the
Visio document to anyone who would like to help, either with colors, shapes or organization,
please don’t hesitate to ring in.

We can play Visio-Tennis. ;^)

My fellow Flexcoders!

After reading Steven's excellent article covering the Cairngorm architecture
( Start the 6-part series here - 
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/cairngorm_pt1.html
)

I've started creating a flowchart tracing a Cairngorm Event from the Event
Broadcaster with a data payload through the cairngorm process:

Work in progress - you'll get the idea at least -
http://www.undustrial.com/cairngorm.jpg

This starts with the Front Controller, then to a Command Class, to the
Service Locater and to the server . then back to the Command Class to
the Model Locater and finally back to the view through data binding .
hmm, I think that's right?

Anyway, it occurs to me that someone may have already done this?

If so, will you please post so I can make it into a poster (for re-post!)?
If not, would someone be willing to collaborate with me (I'm totally new

over an item that is a sub menu I can keep going in and in until there are 
no more children... or I could just go in once... and then soon as I hover over 
another item... again the menu just closes. Both times this is without click on

Re: [flexcoders] Custom component live-preview and code-hint questions

As the manual says, do you not have to add it as a namespace first ?

so xmlns:panels="components.panels.*"

will load components in flex files in components/panels/



components/panels/TheComponent.mxml

or i have some in As aswell so

xmlns="com.company.comp.*"

com/company/comp/

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 2: how to convert a remote XML file to a self defined object

2006-07-27 Thread Doug Arthur

I just ran into a similar probem and it was for some reason do to the namespace on the xml document. I was trying to work with spreadSheetXML (Microsoft XML schema for Excel), needless to say it was a complex XML doc. I had to do loops on the child, check the name() agains the 
fully_qualified_schema::name

eg: if(item.name() == 'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet::@data') 

Below is my complete short example of how I'm parsing through XML. What I'm doing is using a template to re-build XML with dynamic data... (I'm guessing there's a way to do xml translations via xslt but, I have no idea how... so don't take this example to heart as in what I'm doing, this is just shows parsing at least...)

public function parseXMLTemplates():
void {  parseChildren(templateXML.children());}public function
 parseChildren(xmlChild:XMLList):void {  var dataXML:XML =      DATA_SECTION
  ;  if(xmlChild.length()) {    for 
each(var item:XML in xmlChild) {
  if(item!=='') {    if(item.name() == 
'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet::@data') {  item.parent().replace(item.name(), dataXML);    }  }  }
  if(xmlChild.children().length())    parseChildren(xmlChild.children());  }}

Re: [flexcoders] Re: cairngorm Events and data payloads

5 coffee's and 3 RedBull's later, I'm running on fumes, so don't really have 
intelligent answers for you, just guesses.

Don't know, I guess you're right.

Find some way to either A) follow the convention a Command will get the 
event class of a similiar name, and thus feel safe in casting it or B ) find 
some way to strongly type that parameter.  You can't up-cast function 
arguments, though, so it's kind of stuck as CairngormEvent... I think.

For the multiple events, yes, you are correct.  I've definately taken for 
granted all my other stuff has worked for that very fact.  Oops.

Actually, at this point, no clue... wtf were you talking about anyway,

Doesn't execute() accept a CairngromEvent for the sake of polymorphism
though? How could you do things any differently and still preserve
that aspect? Additionally, if you want your Commands to support
multiple types of events isn't it essential that execute() accept a
superclass or common interface? Are you just wishing AS supported

[flexcoders] Re: cairngorm Events and data payloads

2006-07-27 Thread ben.clinkinbeard

Doesn't execute() accept a CairngromEvent for the sake of polymorphism
though? How could you do things any differently and still preserve
that aspect? Additionally, if you want your Commands to support
multiple types of events isn't it essential that execute() accept a
superclass or common interface? Are you just wishing AS supported
method overloading or is there something I am still not getting?

Thanks,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: cairngorm Events and data payloads

My initial frustration was I'd create this event class, which allowed 
strong-typing, like so:

package
{
import com.adobe.control.CairngormEvent;

public class MyEvent extends CairngormEvent
{
public static const ACTION:String = "action";

public var someID:int;

public function MyEvent(p_type:String, p_someID:int)
{
super(p_type);
someID = p_someID;
}
}
}

So, my event now has context.  If I need to have my Command get a person 
record from the DB for example, this event will contain the payload it 
needs; the person ID I'm looking for.  However, by the time it gets to the 
Command, it's a base class, the CairngormEvent.

package
{
public class MyCommand implements AllTheInterfacesEct
{
public function execute ( event:CairngormEvent )
{
trace(event.someID); // faith based programming
}
}
}

Now, for some, their Events are directly linked to Commands, like so:

LoginEvent will fire LoginCommand which calls LoginDelegate
GetPersonEvent will fire GetPersonCommand which calls GetPersonDelegate

At a simple level, yes, this'll do.  So, you can acutally make some 
assumptions in the above; if you play by the default Cairngorm rules, you 
KNOW by convention that your MyCommand class will get a MyEvent, so you 
could risk up-casting, like so:

someDelegateMethod ( MyEvent ( event ) . someID );

...that's faith, though.  You'll get an exception if for some reason that's 
not the real event.  It'd be better if the compiler caught that vs. the 
runtime, before it's a problem.  For me, I use multiple events inside 
Commands, so it's exacerbated.  The Controller keeps all of this under tabs, 
but again, it'd be nice if MyCommand for example GOT MyEvent in the execute. 
I supposed you could make that assumption; not sure if it'd compile. 
Anyway, convention over strict-typing is ok since a lot of conventions teams 
follow can do the above, for example, and assume you'll get what you need.

2006-07-27 Thread ben.clinkinbeard

Forgive the dense noob here, but how is the type info lost? I thought
that by subclassing CairngormEvent you get basic checking and then you
can just do a cast or 'event as MyCutomEvent' inside the execute
method. I guess I am just not clear on what the issue is and where the
problem lies. Can someone edumacate me?

Re: [flexcoders] Play video files in Flex






You can also utilize ffmpeg to convert server-side 
(or client too I guess).  It's what Google & YouTube do.

[flexcoders] query as a flex class object

2006-07-27 Thread Doug Arthur




Isn't there a way to populate a dataGrid with a query returned from cf and then reference the selectedItem as a existing Flex Class? When I try to do this, it does not work. Any Ideas?
 
var myClassObj:myClass = myDataGrid.selectedItem as myClass;
The attributes on myClassObj would not be populated or even accessible.
 
 
More explained for the reactor group:
What I currently have to do is return an array of objects by using the iterator, I want to get away from that and use a gateway. Below is my actual code...
 
Currently Returning (which is EXTREMELY slow):
var result = ArrayNew(1);iterator = Variables.beanFactory.getBean(
'reactorFactory').createIterator('vendor_orders');iterator.getWhere().IsEqual('vendor_orders'
, 'vendor_id', arguments.vendor_id).IsIn('vendor_orders', 
'status', '0,1,3');objArray = iterator.getArray();for(i=
1;i lte ArrayLen(objArray);i=i+1
) {ArrayAppend(result, objArray[i]._getTo());}return result;
 
 
What I want to return:
var result = "";gateway = Variables.beanFactory.getBean
('reactorFactory').createGateway('vendor_orders');query = gateway.createQuery();query.getWhere
().IsEqual('vendor_orders', 'vendor_id', arguments.vendor_id).IsIn(
'vendor_orders', 'status', '0,1,3');result = gateway.getByQuery(query);
return result;

When something is declared as static there can only be one class instance. 
There's no need to instantiate the class as an object in order to call a 
static function or access a public static member.

This is the interface the class implements

A class (static) variable for use by a class (static) function.

> public static function getInstance() :
> code.model.ModelLocator

Call this to get the instance of the ModelLocator.

If the ModelLocator has never been instantiated then create it, otherwise 
return it.
This inforces that only one ModelLocator instance exists - a singleton.

This is the Class constructor. If this is called and the reference to the 
ModelLocator exists then something has gone wrong - the constructor is 
called by the static function above. If the constructor is called twice 
there's a problem - there can only be one ModelLocator.

Re: [flexcoders] Identifying tree item (right click)

2006-07-27 Thread Barry Beattie

no takers? I'm interested in this also.

I suspect the answer is somewhere here

http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=0959.html#196195

"However, if you want to copy [duplicate, sic] items, you must
implement your own event listeners for the dragDrop and dragComplete
events."

but no mention on delete.

It seems windows explorer functionality is a standard that many are
trying to shoe-horn into the tree component. the VB6 tree component
was a bit more realised than a Flex tree, the basic functionality was
already there...

(Flex is still very new to me, sorry I'm unable to help more at the
moment - but it is something I'm also trying to do)

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 2: how to convert a remote XML file to a self defined object

I am sorry but I do not understand your
goal.  If someone smarter than me replies, ignore this but if not:

First, are you sure you need to do this? 
It is what e4x is designed to do.

If you are sure, exactly what do you mean
by “self defined client class”? Are you trying to dynamically
create an object that has a “child” method that will return an XML
node?  Are you trying to turn the XML into an mx:Object?  Do you just need an
associative array of nodes?

Give us a little more info.

[flexcoders] Custom component live-preview and code-hint questions

2006-07-27 Thread dc

Just created a new component and tried to pack it into a swc, the
component is named "TheComponent.as" and the swc is named "test.swc"

Got two questions.

1. The custom component never shows up in Design View, just like those
FB2 built-in components did.

Actually no matter it's packed in a swc file or just direct import the
component actionscript file, it just won't display in Design View,
hence user can't live preview and manipulate it right on the stage.

2. Code hint for custom class/component never showed up.

When I created a new project and drop the test.swc in and add it to
the library path, then use following code to put it on stage:

var t:TheComponent = new TheComponent();
this.addChild( t );

Or



The component will appear on stage, but all code hint for it was gone,
normally when I type

t. <-- there should be a drop down list of code hints for t right
after . (dot), but nothing showed up

or

[flexcoders] Can someone explain this code, its related to Cairngorm?

Hi,

I am trying to understand the ModelLocator and how Cairngorm works.  
I have been reading, but I think I need some additional information 
on the code below if possible.

1. What is the difference between Public function and Public Static 
function.   I assume Public functions can be called from anywhere in 
the application.  But what about the "public static"

2. Any info about the ModelLocator would be helpful.

[Bindable]
public class ModelLocator implements 
com.adobe.cairngorm.model.ModelLocator 
{   
private static var 
modelLocator:code.model.ModelLocator;

public static function getInstance() : 
code.model.ModelLocator 
{
if ( modelLocator == null )
modelLocator = new 
code.model.ModelLocator();

return modelLocator;
}
   
//---

public function ModelLocator() 
{   
if ( code.model.ModelLocator.modelLocator != 
null )
throw new Error( "Only one 
ModelLocator instance should be instantiated" );
}

//---

public function initialise() : void
{
}

Thanks,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: DataGrid Totals Row

Paul, 
That is definetly step in the right direction - the code has to  be on REFRESH method override rather then constructor. Under no circumstance you should touch the original data - localIndex only.
 After that there are 3 main issues you need to face:
1. Styling has to be different for the last row - need dynamic runtime styles and props
2. Sorting on any column but value is going to blow
3. Finding the change event and recalculating - without explicit dependencies it works fine for 100 rows*columns, but not for thousands

That would be good for demo/local mangement, but I would use extreme caution not to promise business component based on that techique alone.

As you start to add grouping, sorting, pagination(last row like first row has to be always visible) - you end up with quite a chunk of code. 
Most important, we are still debating if "banded" grid would have better performance as most of the customization we saw is "row-oriented" and it does simplify the implementation code

Regards,
Anatole

I'm having a similar problem. I've got two containers that have
UITextFields in them. One of them works sometimes, the other never
works. I've tried specifying the antiAliasType in css and setting the

[flexcoders] Re: Image Pan - Step 1

2006-07-27 Thread richmcgillicuddy

OK,


I have the slider demo working in flex2. I do still have one problem
with that. The image only loads part of the image and sizes wierd
inside of the Canvas. I can't really zoom, if I do, it just moves the
image and makes it bigger inside of the canvas, the part I started
with. I can never seem to get to other areas of the map with a zoom.
The code looks like:



http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="horizontal"
initialize="setupVars()">
   

   












   







Any Ideas?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: WebService Call













I’m not really that hot with web
services so bear with me.

 

I am unfamiliar with invoking an operation
in the load event.  Have you tried doing it any other way?  In AS? Or
defining an operation tag?  The way you are doing it you have no way to be
sure it is getting invoked. I’d use AS, and trace or alert to make sure
the op is being invoked

getData() is the operation. It takes no arguments and
returns an array
of data. After further investigation I think it is a wsdl file problem.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: DataGrid Totals Row

2006-07-27 Thread Paul BH




if i can suggest a slightly different approach, how about using a kind of adapter to acheive what you are after:in quick & dirty code:  

  private function adaptDP(inArr:Array):Array{  var outArr:Array =[];var total:Number = 0 for (var i:Number=0;i total += inArr.value;outArr.push(inArr[i]);}outArr.push({name:"Total", value:total})return outArr;}this of course wont help with the sorting thing, but Im sure you could work a way around that too if you needed it...

Re: initialize vs. construct/init...Re: [flexcoders] constructObject2() vs. init()? (Flex 1.5)

2 things to do to ensure you're not nuts.

1. Add &recompile=true to the end of the URL string.  Slows compiling, but 
it's worth the piece of mind.

2. Delete generated everytime you want to be sure your changes are in fact 
taking.  Mine's here for Flex 1.5:
C:\JRun4\servers\starExhibits\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\flex\generated

LOL Royal... AWESOME.  Whew, that made my Thursday.  Mmmm, tasty 
burger

First off, bindings are supposed to free you from initialization worries. 
Here's how it was in Flash:
- capture data in member var
- create asset
- wait a frame
- set data
- delete member var
- repeat process in convulted way

In Flex?  Bind value in View and it'll "work" when she's created.  Pimp!

I'm sorry to hear it's not working that way for you.  Here's the rundown.

- init
- createChildren
- initial drawing
* initialize is before everything is done drawing
- createChildren is the last event fired when everyone and their mom is 
ready

There is a good rundown of this on Adobe's DevNet site.  If you want the 
link, I can go find; it's a pretty good explanation.

Subject: Re: initialize vs. construct/init...Re: [flexcoders] 
constructObject2() vs. init()? (Flex 1.5)

The code is too complicated to summarize--there are so
many interconnections it would take you days to
untangle (it has me!).  For a long time we've
encountered what we thought was a "compiler bug" where
the order of compilation would change the behavior of
the application.  That is, if we deleted everything
and compiled from scratch, some binding would not
execute, and some component would not display.  Then
if we simply touched the code of the disappearing
component, it would show up!  Apparently the only
difference is the order that things are
compiled/linked.

I have come to believe in the last few days that it's
not a compiler bug, but a simple
order-of-initialization problem.  One needs to
understand very well the order of initialization,
invalidation, and so on, and to this point we've been
blissfully unaware of it.

Anyway, that's why I'm investigating constructObject2
and init now--trying to get a handle on it.  But as
with so many things in the documentation, things in AS
and Flex are done slightly differently, but with no
acknowledgement of the differences.  They got the same

RE: [flexcoders] Pie chart dropshadow

2006-07-27 Thread Matt Horn

Check out the DropShadowFilter class; you can modify its settings on the
pie's series. Here's how you might use it:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
xmlns:flash="flash.filters.*">

[Bindable]
public var expenses:Object = [
{Expense: "Taxes", Amount: 2000},
{Expense: "Rent", Amount: 1000},
{Expense: "Food", Amount: 200}
];





















To turn it off, just set the filters array to empty:



   

Or set distance to 0 or alpha to 0...

getData() is the operation. It takes no arguments and returns an array
of data. After further investigation I think it is a wsdl file problem.

Re: initialize vs. construct/init...Re: [flexcoders] constructObject2() vs. init()? (Flex 1.5)

2006-07-27 Thread G

The code is too complicated to summarize--there are so
many interconnections it would take you days to
untangle (it has me!).  For a long time we've
encountered what we thought was a "compiler bug" where
the order of compilation would change the behavior of
the application.  That is, if we deleted everything
and compiled from scratch, some binding would not
execute, and some component would not display.  Then
if we simply touched the code of the disappearing
component, it would show up!  Apparently the only
difference is the order that things are
compiled/linked.

I have come to believe in the last few days that it's
not a compiler bug, but a simple
order-of-initialization problem.  One needs to
understand very well the order of initialization,
invalidation, and so on, and to this point we've been
blissfully unaware of it.

Anyway, that's why I'm investigating constructObject2
and init now--trying to get a handle on it.  But as
with so many things in the documentation, things in AS
and Flex are done slightly differently, but with no
acknowledgement of the differences.  They got the same
shit over there we got over here, it's just there it's
a little different.  I'm trying to order a Royal with
Cheese, reading from the American menu.

RE: [flexcoders] How does Flex 2.0 handle ColdFusion Query results?

2006-07-27 Thread Mike Anderson






Hello Dave and All,
 
I checked out the Article and it 
worked!!
 
But I am confused why it 
worked...  In some respects, I thought I was doing the same thing - but 
just in a different way.  I was wondering if you could explain why one 
piece of code works, and the code I originally used did NOT work.  For 
the example code below, you can all assume that I already declared a 
public variable called 'categories', and cast it as an 
ArrayCollection...
 
For starters, here is the code that 
works from the Article:
 
    categories = event.result as 
ArrayCollection;
 
And 
for the code that does NOT work:
 
categories = new ArrayCollection(event.result as 
Array);
    -or-
    categories = new 
ArrayCollection(event.result);
 
If I 
understand your post correctly, you are saying that the "Event Object" performs 
some type of "smart conversions" - only when it's being directly 
assigned to a variable?  And if that's true, this conversion never 
gets triggered, when it's placed inside of a Constructor (for example an 
ArrayCollection)?  This would explain why my code did not 
work.
 
I 
don't know - just thinking out loud here.  I would love to know more about 
how this all works, especially since there were so MANY massive changes from 
Flex 1.0 Beta, all the way to the latest release version (not to mention Flash 
Remoting, which the earliest versions of Flex had a lot of similarities 
to).  I am sure learning how this all works, will save me a LOT of 
headaches down the road - especially since I ONLY write Data-Driven applications 
(RIA's) which all make massive amounts of database 
calls.
 
Thanks 
for all your wonderful advice!
 
Mike

  Hello 
  Shannon :)
   
  Yes, I am 
  doing precisely that.  I was trying to avoid posting code, but it's the 
  easiest way to show you everything I am trying to do.  You can assume 
  too, that yes I am bringing back a valid RecordSet from ColdFusion, and the 
  FieldNames match up exactly with what was brought back.  Since the data 
  is all there, Flex for some reason, is not iterating through all the data and 
  parsing it out properly.  I just have a hard time with this - since this 
  works fine with my Flash Remoting app, and that I am bringing back a native 
  Query Object from ColdFusion.  I must be missing something, or am not 
  properly casting something.  As far as I can tell, I am properly coding 
  the Grid Columns - but maybe I am not...  One last thing - I am running 
  something similar to Flash's NetConnection Debugger - and I am for sure 
  getting back a valid response from the CF Server - an Array of Objects, all 
  properly formatted and casted.
   
  If you 
  could shed further light, as to why no data shows up in my DataGrid when the 
  app runs, I'd be very grateful :)
Mike,A bit has changed between 1.5 and 2.0 with regard to Flex, 
and for the better (aka easier). To that end, yesterday I blogged a post on 
using Arrays vs. ArrayCollections in Flex and, at the bottom, there is a 
semi-complete MXML application that shows calling an HTTPService and handling 
the results for display in the DataGrid. In short, the new ResultEvent class 
should make its way into your code, as that class is the one that has the 
"smarts" to handle ColdFusion queries and cast it to an appropriate local data 
structure. Watch for link wrapping: http://www.cbetta.com/blog/index.cfm/2006/7/26/array-vs-array-collection-in-flex-2-with-a-coldfusion-slant 
Hope this helps.Regards,Dave.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: cairngorm Events and data payloads






Well, my events extend CairngormEvent, so I can 
technically upcast 'em when they get in the Command's execute method.  I 
know Steven didn't really dig this idea, but if you case the type, you can 
compare to the Event's constant like:
 
public static const EVENT_DOSOMETHING:String = 
"doSomething";
 
function execute(event:CairngormEvent)
{
    switch(event.type)
    {
        case 
MyEvent.EVENT_DOSOMETHING:
        
    someMethod ( MyEvent(event).someTypeSafeProp);
        
    break;
    }
}

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Builder 2.0 serial number says it's invalid

2006-07-27 Thread Matt Chotin













I believe everything including prefs should
be in your workspace so as long as the uninstaller doesn’t delete your
workspace (which it shouldn’t) you’ll be all set.  For FB I believe
by default the workspace is in your My Documents folder (though it’s been
a long time since I had a default so I’m not positive).

Okay, so Adobe has basically given up on me. 
Well, not really, they just gave me the support number to call.  ;) 
And I know the first thing they'll have me do is uninstall and reinstall. 
So I might as well try that at this point. 

The main thing I'm wondering is which files/data I should save to avoid having
to reconfigure FB.  I have a lot of keystroke assignments and such, as well
as other options I've fiddled with.

Now, I do File->Export->Export Preferences->Export All, will it get
EVERYTHING that I've messed with?  Or is there some hidden gotchas that it
will miss and I should do myself?

As fun as it sounds,
uninstall Flex and reinstall with entering the keys during installation. 
I ran into a similar problem when we got our license, only it wouldnt take them
no matter how many people tried (to get rid of fat fingerers like me)  But
once I uninstalled and entered the keys (charting too) during installation it
worked great.  We used the Flex Builder installation download from the adobe.com website.

The serial number provided for Flex Builder 2.0 is rejected as
"invalid" by my installation of Flex Builder 2.0.  I have tried
both the serial numbers for FB and for charting.  Possibly important: I
already had FB running when I got the licenses.  I went into
Help->Manage Flex Licenses and put them in.  At that point, it accepted
them and changed "Trial" to "Commercial".  On
restarting FB, it asks for them again and claimed they are invalid.  Now
entering them 
into Help->Manage Flex Licenses also says they are invalid.


I have opened a support issue with Adobe.  They responded with a lot of
stuff, one of which was that you shouldn't enter the dashes.  Sounds crazy,
but I tried it and it still claimed it was invalid. 

Anyone else run into this?  I wonder if it's related to either it having
the beta installed first, downloading and using the release version as a trial
for a while, entering the serial number in after startup instead of at startup,
or some combination of the above.

[flexcoders] Pie chart dropshadow

Is there a way to control the dropshadow on a pie chart? Can't find this 
anywhere.

The ability to turn it on and off would be good. Control over distance, 
color, and direction would be even better.

Are you sure about that?  That seems to be exactly the
source of our problems.  If we initialize values in
the initialize handler, it seems they are being
initialized too late, and values end up not being

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Builder 2.0 serial number says it's invalid




AFAIK, Eclipse stores all this in your workspace.  Thus you can upgrade/change eclipse versions without losing this.  YMMVDKOn 7/27/06, Pan Troglodytes

[flexcoders] AS_Style && Eclipse | FB hiccups

2006-07-27 Thread fuad_kamal

question for you Eclipse veterans out there:
is there a way to change automatic code styling options in FlexBuilder?

e.g. when I create a new class or function, FB autoformats like:

myFunct
{


}


which I find annoying and manually reformat to 

myFunct{

}

Also, has anyone else had issues with customs views/perspectives in
FB?  I work on dual and triple-monitor setups and have saved various
perspectives, which are great when they work, but sometimes FB refuses
to switch to the custom perspective and I am forced to work in the
default debugging or devlopment perspectives only.  The only way I
found to resolve this is to close and restart FB.

thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: cairngorm Events and data payloads

The only typesafe solution i can think of, is to abandon CairngormEvents and replace them by methods of the FrontController. Most of the apps i've seen so far don't make use of the runtime changeability anyways. What do we loose if we do it like that?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: feature or security hole on flash sandBox?

2006-07-27 Thread Matt Horn

I think it has to do with the types of content you are loading. If I
understand the issue here, if the target asset is a content asset, such
as an image file, you do not need any specific permissions from the
target domain to load its assets into your Flex application. If the
target asset is a data asset, such as an XML file, you must have the
target domain's permission to access this asset.

[flexcoders] Custom datatip for pie chart

2006-07-27 Thread Tom Fitzpatrick

I'm building a custom datatip for a pie chart.

How do I get to the percent values for the pie wedges? (In the 
labelFunction this is expressed as percentValue.)

Here's how I'm getting to other values so far:

private function buildDataTip(e:HitData) : String
{
var pie:PieSeries = PieSeries(e.element);
var pieName:String = e.item[pie.nameField];
var pieValue:Number = e.item[pie.field];
 var piePercent = ?
 .
 return .
   }

- Tom

Are you sure about that?  That seems to be exactly the
source of our problems.  If we initialize values in
the initialize handler, it seems they are being
initialized too late, and values end up not being
properly set.

[flexcoders] Re: DataGrid Totals Row

2006-07-27 Thread flxcoder

Thanks for the advice. I think I might look into setting up a data 
provider for a day and see how far I can take it. I have seen another 
example today of coloring row backgrounds so that will be useful.

The product demo you have out there is pretty impressive. Is it for 
sale/development? I guess you are planning on mktg to developers. 
good work!

Re: [flexcoders] constructObject2() vs. init()? (Flex 1.5)

Don't know about constructObject2, but init is called for you by UIObject 
when she's done setting stuff up.  You CAN override it in ActionScript, but 
not MXML.

However, you're better off just have your initialize event call a function 
in your MXML and do non-GUI related stuff there.

Quick question:  What is the relationship between
constructObject2 and init?  The document I found on
creating components does not mention constructObject2,
but the flex compiler seems not to allow overriding of
init() (in an mxml file).

But init() does not take parameters.  Does one call
the other?  Are they analogous for different
situations?

Re: [flexcoders] any way to pre-render a screen so when you move it onto the screen it doesnt hesitate

I was refering to things that you can do while your SWF with embedded font is being loaded - emulating constructor for SWF.
Internals are described here http://blogs.adobe.com/rgonzalez/
Please contact me offline for detailed explanation as semi-automated solution is being published as a part of flex book coming out this fall

One of my first screens slides onto the display, but because it hasnt been seen before it needs to build the screen. It also has some embedded fonts so it probably needs to render the fonts.In any case as it slides in it stutters midway through the slide. If you go to another screen and come back it is smooth. this obviously relates to something (I assume the font) not being cached. Is there any way to fix this.

[flexcoders] Flex 2: how to convert a remote XML file to a self defined object

2006-07-27 Thread junhufr

I've tried to convert a remote XML such as "client.xml" to a self
defined client class, but failed.


  

 Tom


 Jerry

  

  

 Jean


 Philip

  

1. I invoked the XML from HTTPService
2. Then I could get the child "companyA" from the object that i
invoked for HTTPService by using .child("companyA") method.


Any helps will be appreicated.

Jun

[flexcoders] Developing on Linux?

2006-07-27 Thread Ron Davis


Are any of you using Linux and the command line compiler for Flex 2 
development? 

Flash 9 seems to work fine under Wine and Flex 2 in VMWare gets pretty 
sluggish. I'm just wondering if anyone is working on any Linux compatible 
editors or editor plug-ins. 

I don't mind paying for Flex, I just don't want to use Windows under VMWare 
any more than necessary and the project won't wait for the official Linux 
release.

I feel like this might be a shot in the dark, but in Flex builder there is a 
menu at the top.   Check the "Project" menu and make sure "Build 
Automatically" is checked.  This is the piece that makes it compile when 
you save.  If its not checked, you may  need to tell it to build 
manually before the swf will get written.HTHsim

Re: [flexcoders] How does Flex 2.0 handle ColdFusion Query results?

2006-07-27 Thread Dave Carabetta




On 7/27/06, Mike Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:







Hello Shannon :)
 
Yes, I am doing precisely that.  I was trying to avoid 
posting code, but it's the easiest way to show you everything I am trying to 
do.  You can assume too, that yes I am bringing back a valid RecordSet from 
ColdFusion, and the FieldNames match up exactly with what was brought 
back.  Since the data is all there, Flex for some reason, is not iterating 
through all the data and parsing it out properly.  I just have a hard time 
with this - since this works fine with my Flash Remoting app, and that I am 
bringing back a native Query Object from ColdFusion.  I must be missing 
something, or am not properly casting something.  As far as I can tell, I 
am properly coding the Grid Columns - but maybe I am not...  One last thing 
- I am running something similar to Flash's NetConnection Debugger - and I am 
for sure getting back a valid response from the CF Server - an Array of Objects, 
all properly formatted and casted.
 
If you could shed further light, as to why no data shows up 
in my DataGrid when the app runs, I'd be very grateful :)Mike,A bit has changed between 1.5 and 2.0 with regard to Flex, and for the better (aka easier). To that end, yesterday I blogged a post on using Arrays vs. ArrayCollections in Flex and, at the bottom, there is a semi-complete MXML application that shows calling an HTTPService and handling the results for display in the DataGrid. In short, the new ResultEvent class should make its way into your code, as that class is the one that has the "smarts" to handle ColdFusion queries and cast it to an appropriate local data structure. Watch for link wrapping:
http://www.cbetta.com/blog/index.cfm/2006/7/26/array-vs-array-collection-in-flex-2-with-a-coldfusion-slant

[flexcoders] Re: DataGrid Totals Row

2006-07-27 Thread flxcoder

any advice on this. i am plan to start work on this today. i have 
seen examples of creating editable datagrids that have subtotals at 
the end of the column - so i know its possible by working only with 
the data provider and letting the datagrid handle just the display.

so is it advisable to stick with one grid only and keep showing 
subtotals on the lines or create multiple grids and stack them 
together.

Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] FDS NullPointerException

2006-07-27 Thread Jeff Vroom













Hi Brennan,

 

Do you have a stack trace for that
NullPointerException?  That would help us diagnose that problem.  

 

This error from the link you sent:

 

[RPC Fault faultString="Page request
made for item with id =
'{infoId=1}'. The item was not in the cache and the adapter's get
method failed to return the item for destination = iad.info that is
expected to be in the requested page."
faultCode="Server.Processing"
faultDetail="null"]

 

is not from a NullPointerException though.
 It occurs when we go to retrieve the lazy loaded item which has “infoId=1”
and the getItem method is returning null.  Since previously you returned a
ClientVO which had its Info property set to a ClientInfoVO that had infoId=1,
we would expect to have this method return a valid ClientInfoVO instance. 

 

Jeff

Hi everyone,

I had a problem the other day with lazy loading using a Java backend.
Using the debugger and throwing Java exceptions, I've narrowed it down
to a NullPointerException.

Anyone know anything about how to overcome this? I'm guessing what's
happening is that a null value is being returned when getItem() is
called rather than a value object.

Here is more information:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

I would go for b personally because:

it makes for more legible code (IMHO)
it means you dont have to type as much (I'm lazy)
in AS2, local variables were stored in a register that made access much faster
- don't know if this is still the case in AS3 (anyone?)

but at runtime does not incurr a cost.

b) The other person would have us believe that the creation of a
variable of the correct type and casting the object to it and then
using the local variable (thereby eliminating many casts)is better.

I side with a) on the basis that the creation of the variable and the
garbage collection of it costs more than the casting might.

Bearing in mind that either of these methods might be performed in
hundreds of places in the application. 

Is there a difference ? Will any one notice. Is one better ?. 

Are we being a little to retentive ?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: cairngorm Events and data payloads






I'm with you.  I've been determing type of 
event based on the event.type in the Command's execute method to get my 
strong-typing back.

RE: [flexcoders] Caringorm - Visual Flowchart Poster!

2006-07-27 Thread Evan Gifford

Title: RE: [flexcoders] Caringorm - Visual Flowchart Poster!










Awesome!! Thanks Dan, I will incorporate these
changes today.

 

Also, I may be correcting myself here …
wouldn’t it be “ContactsVO” or a “Contacts VO”
which contains multiple “ContactVO’s” 

What is the best way to represent the
multiple contacts here?

 

I’m happy to submit the final .VSD
document and a vector-pdf to the list when it’s done. :^)

 

I can also handle the printing of this in
large format with a local printing company, would anyone like a copy of this
(at cost?) 

I’ve got a quote for $30 per poster,
36” wide + a little shipping.

 

Thanks guys … !

-Evan

One thing that seems to be missing from
this diagram is the concept of Cairngorm views.  Indicating that the
contact "form" and the contact "list" (from your diagram)
are separate *view* classes/objects would be nice.





 





Excellent job by the way -- you've done a great job visually
representing the microarchitecture!





 





If you look at the com.adobe.cairngorm (v. 2) folder
structure, the following "concepts" emerge, most of which are well
represented on your diagram:





 





business:





  Service Locator (done)





  Business Delegate (done)





  Responder (implied - not sure if needs to be
explicitly diagramed)





commands:





  Command / Sequence Command (done - at least single
commands)





control:





  Front Controller (done)





  Cairngorm Event (done)





  Cairngorm Event Dispatcher (implied?)





model:





  Model Locator (done)





view:







  View (highlighting the contact "form" and
"list" as different views would do the trick)



  View Locator / View Helper (??? - not sure about
these...)





vo:





  Value Object (done)

Alright, thank for your feedback guys!

I've updated this Cairngorm diagram, but I still desperately need some
authoritative feedback:

Please check the updated diagram here:

Thanks Guys, I'll send you all a high-res PDF when it's ready to rock.

Awesome, exactly the feedback I needed, thanks Jester!

I'll put the service locator in there today.
I'll also put some design love into this guy too.

Please, any and ALL suggestions, comments or changes are needed and welcome.

Let's make this the Flexcoders cairngorm poster!

Only change homey is:

- Command creates Delegate, and calls method on it, passing itself (usually)
in as a responder
- Delegate gets service from ServiceLocator, and then calls server
- upon response, either massages it (via Factory) or just simply gives it
back as is to the Command

All in all, your diagram is pretty effective in showing the seperation as
well as the circular nature.

I agree with Mike; make that mofo bigger!

My fellow Flexcoders!

After reading Steven's excellent article covering the Cairngorm architecture
( Start the 6-part series here -
  http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/cairngorm_pt1.html
)

I've started creating a flowchart tracing a Cairngorm Event from the Event
Broadcaster with a data payload through the cairngorm process:

Work in progress - you'll get the idea at least -
http://www.undustrial.com/cairngorm.jpg

This starts with the Front Controller, then to a Command Class, to the
Service Locater and to the server . then back to the Command Class to
the Model Locater and finally back to the view through data binding .
hmm, I think that's right?

Anyway, it occurs to me that someone may have already done this?

  If so, will you please post so I can make it into a poster (for
re-post!)?
  If not, would someone be willing to collaborate with me (I'm totally new
  cairngorm)?

Being half-designer-half-programmer, I'd love to create a downloadable PDF
for us Flexcoders to use!

Thanks!
Evan

[flexcoders] Columnchart clustered with two vertical axis

2006-07-27 Thread olivier

Hi,

I want to create a columnchart "clustered" composed by two series. As 
the scale of the series are different I have to use two differents y 
axis.

But in this case, the two series are not clustered but the second is 
rendered on the other.

Do you have an idea to create this kind of chart ?

thanks by advance

O.

Re: [flexcoders] Cast or create local var - which is best \ performant

I prefer b because it is less code to read and write.
Gc is not a problem really, because you are just creating references,
not copying objects.
If you want hard facts, i'd create a loop with a gazillion object accesses
Cheers,
Ralf.
