Found one more way to do the same using JavaScript. Not sure, which 
ones's better, but it works too.


var ip = new java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost();
var ipStr = new java.lang.String(ip);
document.writeln(ipStr.substring(ipStr.indexOf("/")+1));

[flexcoders] Dynamicall populate a tree control

2006-08-30 Thread btkracker

I'm new to flex and I'm having a little trouble figuring this out...

I need to lazily populate a tree control via an HttpService object.  
So far, I can retreive the top node and it's children.  For each 
child that has children of it's own, I add a dummy child tag 
to "trick" flex and set the hasChildren attribute correctly.

Next, I trap the itemOpen event on the tree.  Using the TreeEvent 
passed to the event handler, I can correctly call the HttpService 
again, get the next level, and populate a new XMLListCollection with 
the results.

This is where I have problems...

I can't figure out how to take the new XMLListCollection and add it 
to the tree's dataProvider.  Or should I add it directly to the tree?

Can anyone can point me in the right direction and (please) give an 
example or two?  Thanks in advance.

Bruce

[flexcoders] FileReference (upload) session cookie problems

2006-08-30 Thread Richard Druce

Hi, I've been playing around with Flex 2 to upload images to my web application. I'm using a cookie to maintain a session (it contains a session_id) and when I upload the file, it is behaving strangely using Flash player 9. In Internet Explorer 6.0, a new session will be created, meaning that the cookie wasn't passed with the POST and this session will be used for future GET requests. In Mozilla Firefox 1.5, a new session will be created that will be used for future file uploads, but the GET requests will use the old session still, so it looks like two client cookies are being maintained. Any help or tips to get around this problem would be greatly appreciated, I'm using ruby on rails on the server side so cookies are my preferred option for maintaining session state - passing it as a URL parameter is a little messy. thanks,Richard.[EMAIL PROTECTED]

[flexcoders] Re: how to call a method in a custom mxml component

2006-08-30 Thread e baggg




You can call the method just about anyway imaginable.My advice would be to look at the API. If you put your cursor on a mxml component, like in the above example, put the cursor on any of the letters in "Button" and hot "SHift + F2". This will take you to the API. Scroll down to the "Events" section. Any of those you treat as an attribute where you pass in the name of your function as the value.

[flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm / Hibernate Best Practices

2006-08-30 Thread e baggg




Brennan,  I haven't seen the word "Hithero" used since I was forced to read Shakespeare back in high school. Way to bring it back! Anyway, Adobe has provided Hibernate support via the Hibernate Assembler:http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/fds2javadoc/flex/data/assemblers/HibernateAssembler.htmlI actually created an app that is front-to-end using the RemoteObject. I have my Java pojos which are mapped to my hibernate mapping files and I also have the AS classes that correlate to them too, using the:[Managed] [RemoteClass(alias="com.project.MyClass")]I pass all my objects to a pojo facade class which in turns invokes my Sprign beans. Within the facade, all the hibernate and trasactions are taken care. My objects are pretty light, so to avoid lazy-loading issues on the client side, i set lazy=false at the class level for all my hibernate mappings. This works well for me and I have not faced any performance issues.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 patch timeline

2006-08-30 Thread David Mendels






Hi,
 
I think folks over interpreted Matt's email.  Please 
cut him (and us) some slack.
 
We will do patch releases.  We are staffed to do patch 
releases. We do need to aggregate up bugs and do them in a thoughtfull fashion 
because any fix can break something else. We base what we fix and when we do 
such releases on customer feedback--if we need to we might put out one 
immediately after a new release or we might go 6 months.  It depends on the 
issues our customers are facing.  But we are indeed staffed and have 
resources to be able to do patches and you will see patches for Flex.  I 
don't have a specific date for you because we haven't finalized everything that 
will be in it yet.  It doesn't make sense to do a lot of tiny patches 
because the overhead of regression testing a release of the software is enormous 
so we will do fewer, medium sized patches instead.   This is true for 
the Player team, the Compiler team, the SDK team, the tool team and the server 
team. Each of these teams might do patches on a different cycle of course 
depending on need.  In general, we are most conservative about changes to 
the Player because the risk of "injections" is highest here with software that 
quickly goes out to 100s of millions of people. Jack, you suggest we should have 
a patch in the first "6-9 months after a release".  While we don't have a 
final schedule in place, that is a reasonable timeframe from my perspective too. 

 
Please don't jump to conclusions (and jump on Matt)--we 
don't need to rethink our strategy here, on the contrary, we seem to be in 
agreement.
 
-David
SVP, Adobe

Matt or anyone else at Adobe.
 
I agree that the quality of Flex Builder 2 is good . . . . 
very good . . . . however . . . .
 
I know nothing will probably change since Adobe is the big 
software company, and I am only a single 
customer(Flex Builder 2 w/charting), but this position 
disturbs me.
 
It reminds me of the construction industry when a 
contractor builds or remodels my house.  I have paid 

for the work and I find problems but the contractor is off 
working on another house and doesn't have the 

time or resources to fix the problems in a timely 
manner.
 
To be honest, I could care less about a Mac 
version . . . . AND I know those wanting a Mac 
version could 
care less about a 
Windows version.  So please no bashing from the Mac 
side.
 
It appears that Adobe has not allocated enough resources to 
the development team where they can have 
2 groups.  As I recall, it was said on this forum, 
soon after Flex 2 was released the development team
received new Macs to begin work on a Mac 
version.
 
Why did Adobe not already have a plan and resources in 
place.  This type of thing is done all the time.
 
While I do not expect that every single bug be issued a 
"release patch", it would be very nice and 
customer 
friendly to have a bug fix release plan in place and 
implement that plan.  Especially in the first 6-9 months 
of
a major release.
 
I haven't encountered a bug that I know of.  But when 
I do, I will probably have spent many hours 
or days 
thinking I did not write the code right only to find 
out later is was a bug.  Wasted time . . . . money.
 
I have said this before, but I would not have a single 
customer if I told them I could not fix the software they 

purchased because I was working on another 
version.
 
I really do not understand why large software companies 
employ this type of bug fix and update plan.
 
I only hope Adobe will rethink their strategy and 
implementation of releasing bug fixes.
 
My .02 or actually $ 749 for Flex Builder 2 
w/charting.
 
Thanks,
 
Jack

Are there specific bugs 
you’re looking to be addressed?  Based on direct feedback as well as 
observation from the various public forums we’ve been pretty pleased with the 
quality of the release so we’ve held off on rushing out an updater while we work 
on things like the Mac release of Flex Builder.  Doesn’t mean we’re not 
fixing bugs, but we’ve decided to try to address more issues in a longer cycle 
rather than fewer issues quickly.

If there’s a specific 
issue that is blocking your work use the wish form (http://www.adobe.com/go/wish) to 
submit it and indicate so.  There are also plenty of official support 
options available to help as well

[flexcoders] Re: CairngormEvent Antipattern

2006-08-30 Thread e_baggg

Andi-
  Tom was referring to having a hierarchy of FrontControllers.

He happens to have a class called "CoreController" which all of his
Flex apps would use. Then, each Flex app will have it's own
FrontController that extends CoreController...this way each developer
has their own controller. This assumes of course there's 1 developer
working on a project. The CoreController would house the common
Commands such as Login, Logout, and similar things.

If you're in the situation where you have 1 large Flex app that has 1
large controller that all the developers are fighting for...I would
suggest that users update the Contoller and check in their empty
Command classes right away. Then begin development. That way if it
takes them 2 days to implement the logic for an event, they won't have
a lot of contacts. Another option is to make one developer the 'owner'
of the front controller and have other developers e-mail them the line
of code for the command.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 2 patch timeline

2006-08-30 Thread Mike Nimer



Trust me Adobe is very anal when it comes to releasing bug free software. And the risk that 1 bug fix could introduce 2 more bugs is a big concern. When companies, hell whole industries, are betting their multi-million dollar businesses on your product you have to be overly cautious and careful. Personally I'm glad they over test. You wouldn't believe how big of deal quality is to the QA team there, trying to get them bend the rules a little is impossible. We should all buy them beer (Lot's and Lot's of Beer!)
 
For instance it takes over 2 weeks to run all of the regressions on all of the supported platforms for Adobe to ship a release (alpha, beta, or final) of ColdFusion. Touch one line of code and the regressions have to start all over. And Flex has a growing regression suite it needs to run, I wouldn't be surprised if it hasn't already surpassed 2 weeks for a full regression test. Especially considering that there are multiple products that are all intertwined. For example, a bug fix in the player has to be tested against the FDS server and Actionscript in the SDK to make sure nothing has been broken. Imagine the mess, if millions of people started updating their flash players to the latest version and sites like You Tube or MySpace quit working. 
 
And if there is a new "bug fix" every few days, or even once a week, the regressions would never complete, and eventually un-tested buggy software would be released, and then we would stop trusting the hot fixes Microsoft. This is why you/they have to stop the fix and release cycle periodically, fix lots of bugs, test test test, and then release an official point release.  Otherwise there would be a mutiny in support and they would all give up and quit and there would be no one there to help us. It's a whole binge and purge cycle really.

I believe that Adobe is very eccentric when it comes to business models.  They are the 700 lb girl.  They aren’t anywhere and will be around for awhile, so they can make decisions that might upset people but we will just have to deal with them.  I’m not saying it’s always a bad thing.  
 
I also believe that they have some “loyalty” to the Mac platform.  Usually their suite of products are released first on the Mac platform.  What worried me about this merger is if Adobe would make decsions that weren’t viewed as “correct” by some people in the industry and that they could change the focus of flash completely.
 
Who knows.  I just hope they won’t destroy such a good tech.
 
I believe one of the problems is that Flash is just a buggy technology to begin with and that is something I’ve come to accept.  If I wouldn’t deal with it, then I wouldn’t be developing in it J

Jack,

 

I suspect that you don't run a company of quite the same size of Adobe. 

 

f you have one or two customers you can just issue a fix as soon as you've done QA. When you have thousands you have major distribution and support overheads that get more costly as you go on.

 

It's not a question of knowing how to plan, it's big number logistics.

 

Your not the only one whose been in software development for 27 years either..

Well, you could create a Flex Library project, and create a SWC for all

convenient, and there appears to be some inconsistencies on how often 
the SWC recompiles, but it would would.

Well my experience is with the other adobe teams. BUT

I have had devs/engineers call me on a sunday. On their own dime, to see 
what we could sort out regarding some persistant but hard to nail bugs.

All the teams at adobe I have had the pleasure of working with have all 
busted themselves to make sure things were working. As for flex, we get 
a huge commitment just in them answering things on this list, not to 
mention all the adobe blogs with examples etc.


I personally think anyone who cries for 24 hour personal tech service 
should be paying a hefty price for a yearly agreement ;)

Hi all:

Just joined.

Is there a location on Adobe's web site that lists all known bugs
for Flex Builder 2?

Re: [flexcoders] Embedding fonts at runtime

2006-08-30 Thread Daniel Wabyick


Right, to clarify the title of the thread should have been "Dynamically 
loading embedded fonts at runtime" ...

This feature is critical if you want to use embedded fonts for a 
localized application. Determine the locale, and load a SWF containing a 
font, or possibly a unicode subset of the font (e.g. for Arial Unicode 
MS). 

Based on Daniel Friemen's successful experiments, it seems like this 
will be possible, but hopefully future versions of Flex will support 
this more elegantly.

Best,
-Daniel

AW: [flexcoders] Flex 2 patch timeline

2006-08-30 Thread Benjamin Dobler











Jack, i don`t get your point. This really is
the first time we are right in the process of things.
We have the labs – we see what`s happening! For example the AsDoc tool.
For me that`s kind of a nice update.

I`m very happy with how Adobe is providing
us with new tools to play. That said you`re right that there is still a long
way to go for
flexbuilder. Just compare it to the java editor in eclipse and you know what i
mean. What makes me wait for an update ist he missing refactor features.

But i`m sure that will come.

 

My 2…

Jack,





 





I suspect that you don't run a company of quite the same
size of Adobe. 





 





f you have one or two customers you can just issue a fix as
soon as you've done QA. When you have thousands you have major distribution and
support overheads that get more costly as you go on.





 





It's not a question of knowing how to plan, it's big number
logistics.

Jeff:

 

I fully understood what Matt was
saying.  That's just it . . . . it is not a top priority.

 

The issue is that Adobe is fixing the
bugs, but not releasing them.

 

We as developers have to try to figure it
out then call support, etc.  That could take

hours or days of my time.  It's
wasted time and money.

 

I am like you, I don't have a large
support staff either.

 

My position, for over 27 years, has
always been . . . . find a bug send ALL customers 

a fix ASAP.  Not waiting for a
customer to call me.

 

Again, in the first 6-9 months after a
major release, I think there should be a different

release plan in place.

 

Thanks,

 

Jack

Jack-

I think you misunderstand what Matt said.  He didn't say they aren't
working on fixes, he said it hasnt been their top priority.  If you have
an issue, he recommended you contact their support team.  

I have said this before, but I would not have a
single customer if I told them I could not fix the software they 
purchased because I was working on another version.

Again, its not an issue of not being able to fix bugs, many
companies have a process in place to allow for handling their customers
needs.  In the adobe case, if something isnt working as you would expect,
there is the support channel.  drop them an email or give them a call, and
they can help solve the issue you are having.  They are the ones who are
best able to determine if you are doing something wrong, or if its a bug in the
code which needs to be fixed.  I wouldnt be at all surprised if their were
a number of minor patches available through the support channels.  I dont
know that there are, but if I were them, and I had a few fixes to specific bugs
that havent been reported

RE: [flexcoders] Building a chat server over FDS... impossible is nothing??

2006-08-30 Thread FineLine













Hi Aldo, I don’t have much
experience in this area but am interested in a similar type of solution.

 

From your point of view, what advantage
does FDS bring, compared to using FMS alone, if you’re going to be using
FMS anyway? As far as I know, FMS supports shared objects, which I guess you
would be using for chat.

 

I suppose that in FMS server side code is
written in AS2 as an .asc file, which can’t be done easily within FB2,
and FMS has no built-in data connectivity, so you have to connect via web
service – an extra layer of complication. Perhaps Red5 does offer a
potential solution, as shared objects are supported, all server code is in
Java, and you can connect directly to data via JDBC. I’m not sure of media-serving
stability, performance or scalability of Red5 currently, maybe someone with
experience of that could chime in.

 

Surely the ideal solution from Adobe would
be a combined data/media server solution, with support for AS3 composed in FB2,
so you have a one-stop shop for development? In the meantime, maybe Red5 gets
close?

 

Cheers, Tim

Hi all,

I have asked this before... it's just to see if things have changed in a while.
It turns out that I have a frozen Flex 2 project that requieres a Chat
server ( video chat actually ) and uses FDS a lot.

I would really like to use FDS for the chat logic as well ( which is
actually much more complicated than a simple chat... it has queues,
presence states are used in business logic, etc ). But I am missing
the chat-oriented design of a product like FMS2.

Note that I DO have FMS but I would end up building a really complex
system ( divided in two parts, which have to talk all the time... ).

Alternatives:
* FDS + FMS talking through web services ( the java bridge is not
officially released )
** horrible solution since the complexity of the system goes through the roof
** Even if the java bridge existed ( I would rather have the FMS model
replicated in a java environment, much better ).
* FDS with a custom made chat server on top of messaging.
** Nice, but I have to build this functionality and it is not trivial
( has anyone done this already? )
* Red5??
** I need to travel in time... and to clear the FUD for my client.
* Flex2.x??
** time travel again...

Any comments on this situation??

Thanks,
Aldo

[flexcoders] Include fonts in RSL Flex2

2006-08-30 Thread Lance Linder













I have been scowering the internet for
information on how to embed fonts in an RSL for Flex2.

 

I ran accress this posting by Darron
Schall but it looks like it is for Flex 1.5? Anyway I gave it a try but it
doesn’t work for me. I set up 2 projects, 1 regular flex project and
another as a library project. My regular project references the library project
as an RSL and in my library project I created one component with the @font-face
css tag in the  tag. I also created a manifest file and set up
the library project to use the manifest file.

 

Everything compiles right and my component
from the RSL shows up in my main app but when I try to use the font in the RSL
the text in my main app disappears (ie just like in Flash if you tell it to use
embedded fonts but the font doesn’t exist).

 

This has to be possible with Flex 2! Heck
fonts alone are one of the most important things to stuff in an RSL half the
time!

 

What am I doing wrong? Is there some more
documentation on this that I missed or a more recent blog post that I missed?

 

Thanks for any help!

 

Here is the code I have…..

 

--- application code ---





    

        

    

    

    

    



 

--- rsl component code ---

[flexcoders] Console window not outputtin trace statements..

2006-08-30 Thread Kyle


I am writing some classes and am trying to use trace statements to
test my methods; however, when I run (or debug) my application, my
trace statements are not being output to the console window. Does
anyone know if there is some setting or preference that I might be
missing, or know what might be causing this?

My test class looks like this:

package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;

public class ProgrammingBasics extends MovieClip {

private var _quantity:Number;

public function ProgrammingBasics() {
_quantity = 5;
runTrace();
}

private function runTrace():void {
trace(getTraceValue());
}

private function getTraceValue():Number {
return _quantity;
}
}
}



The console output looks like this: 
[SWF] C:\Documents and Settings\kyle_vmix\My Documents\vMix\FLEX
PRACTICE\bin\ProgrammingBasics-debug.swf - 395,243 bytes after
decompression


Thanks!

[flexcoders] Any tips for using "Linked Resource" Folders in FB2? Seems half-way done

2006-08-30 Thread ncr100

I wonder if I'm alone in the experience of Flex Builder and Eclipse
(v2.0.143459 plugin, Eclipse 3.2) trying to beat me senseless as I
setup and build multiple SWF applications which share a single core
actionscript framework folder?

O wise and nimble Flex Masters and Mistresses, please share a comment
or perhaps a humbling gibe about the few beans I'm spilling.

So for this multi-swf AS3 product the Main SWFs dynamically load other
SWFs to save on user launch times.  

I first find Eclipse constraining (read: head-lock) me with an imposed
file layout proscribed by the eclipse.org flexible-projects workspace
management strategy discussed here:
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/flexible-projects-proposal.html

.../framework/src/my/common/packages/...
.../module1/Module1.as
.../module2/Module2.as
.../module3/Module3.as
.../module4/Module4.as
...

Does anyone else do this other than me?

Eclipse, and FB2 to an extent, then block me (read as: multiple suflex
body slams) when I try to stuff my modules inside or above my
framework dir.  So I relocate all the modules far far away from my
framework and setup a Linked Resources path variable (Prefs -> General
-> Workspace) pointing to the framework for each of my many many
modules.  

Guess what happens next.

At this point my compile is broken (all happiness is crushed).  After
I unbreak it via hand edits to .project and/or
.actionScriptProperties, step-debugging is broken for stepping into
the framework code, which I unbreak via guesswork and fiddling with
IDE settings.

To me I feel this "Linked Resources" project management feature is not
yet fully supported in the latest version of Flex Builder and could be
with a dot release (2.1?) of Flex Builder.  Adobe experimentation
with/evaluation of large-project "Linked Resource" behaviors could
uncover eclipse's plugin features acting inconsistently,
malfunctioning, and brutishly slamming innocent projects with folding
metal chairs I believe.

Am I alone when I use FB with hope of outputting multiple SWF's using
a common code base?  Does any other developer here have a story to
share about writing apps with >1 SWF modules that share code with each
other?

Cheers, 
Nick

That depends on what the software does. If it controls nuclear reactors or 
medical equipment for example then i think his position is entirely sensible.

[flexcoders] RemoteObject handling >1 method

2006-08-30 Thread Flex Coders

With a RemoteObject, I have two different services
that I need to call. There is a 1-to-1 relationship
between a RemoteObject and its result handler. 

What logic can I use in my result handler to determine
which method was called on the remote object?

Hey Tom... I don't think that particular function is public... what exactly are you trying to do... maybe the framework has it built in?  Are you just converting from objects to xml or vice versa?

RE: [flexcoders] XSRF Vulnerability?

2006-08-30 Thread Jeff Vroom













It is quite possible to implement a
flex/flash app which is susceptible to XSRF since the player uses the browser’s
cookies for HTTP requests, and many server applications store session state
based on these cookies.  

 

You do have a couple of tools which you
can use to get around this vulnerability though:

1)   You can use RTMP connections – the session is dropped when
the player is unloaded and cookies are not used.  This requires a server
which understands RTMP (right now either FMS or FDS)

2)   You can store an additional session id in the player’s memory
and validate the session with this additional session id.   This id
would potentially be sent by the server on the first request the player makes
to the server and then returned by each HTTP request the player makes.   As
soon as the player instance is closed, this session id would go away so the
next site would have no ability to use it to authenticate the fake HTTP
request.   If the server receives an HTTP request which does not have
this extra session id, you would invalidate the HttpSession and return a new
extra session id.  By invalidating the session, you’d remove any
credentials associated with that session making the XSRF exploit impossible while
still allowing the user to create a new player instance from the same browser.  Of
course that player instance would have to reauthenticate.

 

Jeff

Subject: [flexcoders] XSRF
Vulnerability?



 







Hi folks,

 I've been digging into XSRF to make sure that my
clients' portal implementations are protected against such, but was
wondering:  With the varying access approaches Flex 2.0 apps have at their
disposal, are typical default communications potentially vulnerable to XSRF
attacks.  Are requests even consistent enough for this type of
attack?  Are there standard Data Services places where HTTP calls are made
that could be spoofed, and which are only authenticated by participation in a
valid session?  

 If people have encountered such, are there practices
people have adopted to avoid them?  Does Flex 2.0 already pass secure
tokens to authenticate the valid source of a request already perhaps (I dare
not hope)?

regards,
Christian.

There are other bugs they have fixed that they have *decided* its not important enough to push out right away. Your *specific* input could change that if you have an important bug that could change that calculus. But you have yet to offer any specifics. Its all a bit theoretical and therefore this discussion doesnt make a lot of sense since you cant make decisions like these without discussing the actual bugs (as I am sure they do daily at Adobe).
Oh, by the way smaller software companies have QA
too.
I dont know where this came from as I never said anything about this subject at all.Regards,Hank

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 2 patch timeline




Given what they are doing, this might be hard as they are making changes to accomodate the mac that I am sure are often causing "breaking the build". That is just a guess of course but if the mac support is as hard as I think it is they would have to fork the build in order to do this. Oh and the other problem is that the *would* have to support it.
But that said, its not a bad idea. Its just that the devil is in the details.RegardsHankOn 8/30/06, Tom Lee <

Jack,

With any big software project, there are **always** bugs. Typically hundreds.
You *never* get down to zero and rarely even into the dozens. The question is
how many of them are there and how important are they. You cant put a new
release out every time there is a bug. So you have to decide when a good time
to do  it is. If there are major and important bugs to fix, you put a
release out. But you cant do that weekly. Thats why its important for them to
know if there are any showstopper or really important bugs. 

So Matt's question was important. Are there any bad bugs that they dont know
about? It makes total sense to me, if there are no major bugs, to wait and put
out a new release in 4 or 5 months. New releases are organizationally
traumatic. And they are also not risk free. It is always possible to introduce
new bad bugs while fixing old not so important ones. So waiting a while and
being sure everything is right with a full QA cycle is not a bad thing at all.
Doing that around a major change like mac support (which will also effect the
windows version because its the same codebase) seems like the right thing to do
if there are no major problems. 

Regards
Hank

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Line chart data points being "clipped off"






 
 
Whoops.  Looks like a bug.
 
Alright, well, the only other thing I can think of to solve 
your problem would be to subclass LinearAxis (or whatever axis you're using), 
and override the filterCache function like this:
 
override public function 
filterCache(cache:Array,fromField:String, 
toField:String):void
{
   for(var i:int = 
0;i
    
cache[i][toField] = cache[i][fromField];}
 
That might solve the problem. Alternatively, you could just 
watch the length of your dataProvider and flip filterData when its length is 
zero.
 
Ely.

Yes, that is the plan.  At the same time

fixes.  Mac and Windows will be synchronized at that point moving forward.

Who says they're not going to roll out
MacOS compatibility and bug fixes for Windows all in one package? Just
like when the ColdFusion team was doing MacOS work... it applied to the Windows

Matt or anyone else at Adobe.

 

I agree that the quality of Flex Builder 2
is good . . . . very good . . . . however . . . .

 

I know nothing will probably change since
Adobe is the big software company, and I am only a single 

customer(Flex Builder 2 w/charting), but
this position disturbs me.

 

It reminds me of the construction industry
when a contractor builds or remodels my house.  I have paid 

for the work and I find problems but the
contractor is off working on another house and doesn't have the 

time or resources to fix the problems in a
timely manner.

 

To be honest, I could care less about
a Mac version . . . . AND I know those wanting a Mac version could 

care less about a Windows version. 
So please no bashing from the Mac side.

 

It appears that Adobe has not allocated
enough resources to the development team where they can have 

2 groups.  As I recall, it was said
on this forum, soon after Flex 2 was released the development team

received new Macs to begin work on a Mac
version.

 

Why did Adobe not already have a plan and
resources in place.  This type of thing is done all the time.

 

While I do not expect that every single
bug be issued a "release patch", it would be very nice and
customer 

friendly to have a bug fix release plan in
place and implement that plan.  Especially in the first 6-9 months of

a major release.

 

I haven't encountered a bug that I know
of.  But when I do, I will probably have spent many hours or days 

thinking I did not write the code
right only to find out later is was a bug.  Wasted time . . . . money.

 

I have said this before, but I would not
have a single customer if I told them I could not fix the software they 

purchased because I was working on another
version.

 

I really do not understand why large
software companies employ this type of bug fix and update plan.

 

I only hope Adobe will rethink their
strategy and implementation of releasing bug fixes.

 

My .02 or actually $ 749 for Flex Builder
2 w/charting.

 

Thanks,

 

Jack

Are there specific bugs you’re looking to be addressed?  Based
on direct feedback as well as observation from the various public forums we’ve
been pretty pleased with the quality of the release so we’ve held off on
rushing out an updater while we work on things like the Mac release of Flex
Builder.  Doesn’t mean we’re not fixing bugs, but we’ve decided to try to
address more issues in a longer cycle rather than fewer issues quickly.

If there’s a specific issue that is blocking your work use
the wish form (http://www.adobe.com/go/wish)
to submit it and indicate so.  There are also plenty of official support
options available to help as well (http://www.adobe.com/support/programs/flex/?tab:plans=1)

RE: [flexcoders] Is this a bug? About Number type.

2006-08-30 Thread Gordon Smith













You presumably meant the result should be 23.7, not 23.8.

 

However, getting 23.703 isn't a bug; you'd get the
same answer in other languages like Java and C++. The imprecision is because Number
in ActionScript (like float in Java and C++) stores a floating-point value as a
binary fraction, not as a decimal fraction. These datatypes use binary fractions
because that's how current microprocessors store and manipulate floating-point
values.

 

Java solves this problem by having a BigDecimal class whjich
can store decimal fractions. In that case, computations are slower because it
takes many microsprocessor instructions to do a single operation.

 

The current version of ActionScript doesn't have any decimal
fraction datatype, but it is under consideration for a future version of the
language. The lack of this feaure comes up about once a week, and some participants
on flexcoders have discussed the possibiliy of porting BigDecimal or its
equivalent to ActionScript.

 

Perhaps you can simply round your results to the precision
you need? Take a look at the toFixed() method of the Number class.

 

- Gordon

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How to get client IP address in flex?

I think the best thing to do is pass the IP addy via a flashVars
variable. You do this by editing the HTML wrapper. You can look at the
example here, and modify it to fit your server technology (this example
uses JSP) and your variable input (this example uses query string
params):

LOL. Homer's doc was heroic. We're lucky if our stuff gets read.

When deciding new doc topics to add, we get ideas from reading this
list, the forums, blogs, LiveDocs comments, talking to support, mktg,
prod mgmt, eng, qa, and little bit of intuition. You can bet that
problems that come up time and again in these places will make their way
into the docs.

One of the big things that we look at, though, is how much of an "edge"
case each issue might be. If one in a thousand users will encounter a
problem with something, then we'll likely write about the issue that 1
in 10 users will encounter first. Doesn't mean we won't get to it, but
it might be covered by a Tech Note or some other method before it gets
put in the main product documentation.

Now, if the doc were a wiki, this topic would already be documented. :)

you need to set the lineStroke color. It's not a bug, but 
it changed late in the beta cycle, so we may have missed earlier samples or

RE: [flexcoders] Stroke color on lineSeries - bug?

For LineSeries, you use the stroke style property to define a style for
the chart item's renderer. You use the lineStroke property to define the
stroke of the actual line segments. 

This is documented here:

"Defining strokes for LineSeries and AreaSeries"

"My position, for 
over 27 years, has always been . . . . find a bug send ALL customers a fix ASAP."
 
If you do that, then 
when do you get time to develop new versions of the product? At some point you 
have to make a tradeoff... Adobe's tradeoff was to get the Windows version out 
the door sooner rather than later, and then add other OS compatibility 
afterwards. They were pretty clear about that even during the 
beta.

Jack-I think you misunderstand what Matt said.  He didn't say

you have an issue, he recommended you contact their support team.  
I have said this before, but I 
would not have a single customer if I told them I could not fix the software 
they purchased because I was working on another 
version.Again, its not an issue of not being able to fix bugs, 
many companies have a process in place to allow for handling their customers 
needs.  In the adobe case, if something isnt working as you would expect, 
there is the support channel.  drop them an email or give them a call, and 
they can help solve the issue you are having.  They are the ones who are 
best able to determine if you are doing something wrong, or if its a bug in the 
code which needs to be fixed.  I wouldnt be at all surprised if their were 
a number of minor patches available through the support channels.  I dont 
know that there are, but if I were them, and I had a few fixes to specific bugs 
that havent been reported by the community at large, but instead by a few 
customers, I would probably give the fixes as needed, rather than make a whole

The issue is that Adobe is fixing the bugs, but not
releasing them.Jack,With any big software project, there are **always** bugs. Typically hundreds. You *never* get down to zero and rarely even into the dozens. The question is how many of them are there and how important are they. You cant put a new release out every time there is a bug. So you have to decide when a good time to do it is. If there are major and important bugs to fix, you put a release out. But you cant do that weekly. Thats why its important for them to know if there are any showstopper or really important bugs.
So Matt's question was important. Are there any bad bugs that they dont know about? It makes total sense to me, if there are no major bugs, to wait and put out a new release in 4 or 5 months. New releases are organizationally traumatic. And they are also not risk free. It is always possible to introduce new bad bugs while fixing old not so important ones. So waiting a while and being sure everything is right with a full QA cycle is not a bad thing at all. Doing that around a major change like mac support (which will also effect the windows version because its the same codebase) seems like the right thing to do if there are no major problems.

One addition to this, which is that we

I'm not sure the original reasoning for this, but I just noticed it in the

Awesome! I'll definitely have to check this out.

On a related note, I wonder if its possible to embed fonts with a
specific unicode range via this syntax.  It doesn't appear to be.

[Embed(systemFont='Symbol', fontName='mySymbol',
mimeType='application/x-font')]
var myFont:Class;

I know you can use @font-face, which appears to automatically generate a
variable in the class, but its not a consistently named variable. I am
sure a utility function in the class could be used to ferret out that
variable name.

[flexcoders] securityError:Security sandbox violation with flickr.com

2006-08-30 Thread hastyarkxu

I met a very strainge security problem. When I do the user 
authentication, I use the operation 'getFrob' which AS3 library 
downloaded from the labs.adobe.com to get the permission from 
flickr.com. I test it in my local PC, it's OK. But after I uploaded 
to the web server and test, there is the security error which means 
I can not get the frob from flickr.com

The error infor is:
'cannot load data from flickr.com/services/rest/?
api_key=0a8a284e1ab28c' 

I don't know whether this problem has some relation with the 
AUTH_ENDPOINT constant variable. As I know flickr has changed the 
auth URL to 'http://api.flickr.com/services/*'. I don't know whether 
the download AS2 library has changed that? Can anyone tell me?

if not, this a constant virable, I think I can not change it 
runtime. How can I do it? I don't want to code the flickr access 
class from the very begining:(

Thanks~

Hey
Louie,

I don't believe that package exists. I've been using the attached file in my
AMFPHP projects. Maybe it can benefit you too. After dropping it in your
project root just add the following ActionScript to your app:

import
flash.net.Responder;
public var gateway:RemotingConnection;
public var response:Responder;

//basic query method
public function getData(service:String):void{
        response = new Responder(onResult,
onFault); //success and failure functions
        gateway = new RemotingConnection(MailScanner has detected a possible fraud
attempt from "yourdomain.com" claiming to be
"http://yourdomain.com/flashservices/gateway.php");
//connect to the gateway
        gateway.call(service, response);
//call the service
}

//basic data modification method
public function updateData(service:String, params:Array):void{
        response = new Responder(onResult,
onFault); //success and failure functions
        gateway = new RemotingConnection(MailScanner has detected a possible fraud
attempt from "yourdomain.com" claiming to be
"http://yourdomain.com/flashservices/gateway.php");
//connect to the gateway
        gateway.call(service, response,
params); //call the service
}

Then, just make those calls when necessary later on in your app. HTH...

Re: [flexcoders] Embedding fonts at runtime

2006-08-30 Thread Daniel Freiman




I figured out how to use the textformat object.  The textformat object does actually work, but a TextField will only retrieve the embeded font if it's parent has previously been sent set the font as a style.  So for any component that uses a UITextField, set the fontFamily style of the parent UIComponent to the newly loaded font and then the UITextField should be able to use the font even if fontFamily is subsequently reset.  I have no idea why this works, so there may be some improvements to this method.

[flexcoders] Re: Buffer progress bar for streaming FLV

Hmmm Bummer...

Before I abandon my idea I want to sum up this thread...

I can't create a progress bar that shows buffering progress as long as
I use the videoDisplay component. 

I have to use the netStream objects if I want to create a buffering
progress bar, because that's the only way I can access the streams
time and bufferLength properties.

Sound right?

[flexcoders] Problems calling a RemoteObject within a loop

2006-08-30 Thread Doug Arthur




I've noticed a critical issue when calling a remoteObject within a loop and having a resultHandler, the resultHandler does not execute the same number of times that the remoteObject was invoked. Can anyone explain this?

 
In my case, after each record is updated, I increment an int to identifty when all records have been saved, because another remote call needs to be fired off when all records have been added/updated. This is not happening, and it's a critical issue.

 
 
- Doug

It reminds me of the construction industry when a

manner.
 
To be honest, I could care less about a Mac 
version . . . . AND I know those wanting a Mac 
version could 
care less about a 
Windows version.  So please no bashing from the Mac 
side.
 
It appears that Adobe has not allocated enough resources to 
the development team where they can have 
2 groups.  As I recall, it was said on this forum, 
soon after Flex 2 was released the development team
received new Macs to begin work on a Mac 
version.
 
Why did Adobe not already have a plan and resources in

While I do not expect that every single bug be issued a

[flexcoders] Re: Line chart data points being "clipped off"

2006-08-30 Thread RBullotta

I spoke too fast...I now recall why I stopped using "filterData" in the 
component.  If "filterData" is set to false, and the dataset has no 
points to chart, the chart component crashes with the following error 
(if filterData is set to true, the crash doesn't occur, and the chart 
updates "empty" as expected):

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 patch timeline

2006-08-30 Thread Jeff Tapper





Jack-
I think you misunderstand what Matt said.  He didn't say they aren't
working on fixes, he said it hasnt been their top priority.  If you
have an issue, he recommended you contact their support team. 

I have said this before, but I
would not have a single customer if I told them I could not fix the
software they 
purchased because I was working on another version.
Again, its not an issue of not being able to fix bugs, many
companies have a process in place to allow for handling their customers
needs.  In the adobe case, if something isnt working as you would
expect, there is the support channel.  drop them an email or give
them a call, and they can help solve the issue you are having.  They
are the ones who are best able to determine if you are doing something
wrong, or if its a bug in the code which needs to be fixed.  I
wouldnt be at all surprised if their were a number of minor patches
available through the support channels.  I dont know that there are,
but if I were them, and I had a few fixes to specific bugs that havent
been reported by the community at large, but instead by a few customers,
I would probably give the fixes as needed, rather than make a whole new
big push.  Then again, thats just my thought process.  Sadly, I
dont have a whole support team working for me, so i need to deal with
bugs in my code as they crop up.

[flexcoders] Repeater Question/help

2006-08-30 Thread Jeremy Rottman

I am using a repeater to display information from my application. In
my cfc, I return an array of structures to my flex app. This array,
holds all the information about the file I am trying to display. The
problem I am having is this. 

In the array I have an array object that tells me what side the person
was on the file. They are either buyer or seller. The problem I have
is if the array object has one person of hte buyer side and one person
on the seller side. The repeater displays them both on each side. So
if I have Bill Bob on seller side and Jim bob on buyer side the
repeater processes it like this

Seller SideBuyer Side

Bill Bob   Bill Bob

Jim  Bob   Jim Bob

When it should look like this

Seller Side Buyer Side

Bill BobJim Bob


Can someone give me a bit of insight as to why it would do this. I
have posted the code below.

REPEATER DP AS CODE:
for ( var i:Number=0;i

[flexcoders] Re: How to get client IP address in flex?

The problem is that the server can at max tell us the last proxy 
that sent it the data, so it may be goofed by NAT etc.

Cheers,

[flexcoders] Stroke color on lineSeries - bug?

2006-08-30 Thread Sreejith Unnikrishnan






Applying the stroke color on lineSeries does not 
seem to have any effect.
Even in the examples provided by Adobe, chart 
explorer the colors though specified, dont work!
 
Is this a known bug, if it is one?
 
Regards
Sree

RE: [flexcoders] Building a chat server over FDS... impossible is nothing??

2006-08-30 Thread Jeff Vroom













Just to chime in on this briefly.  You
can fairly easily build a chat system using FDS without dynamically defined
client and server destinations and it is not too much work though it has some
limitations in how it will scale if you take the simple approach.  I think
for Tom’s particular scale requirements, this approach would not be
sufficient but if you are only dealing with a server that has at most a couple
of thousand concurrent users, this may well be the easiest and best approach,
especially if your app requires some back-end integration.   Of
course the exact load you could support would vary based on your setup but you’d
be able to expect a reasonably high volume of messages/second hundreds but probably
not multiple thousands.  To get extra scale, you have change the messaging
topology we use in today’s FDS (something that we are considering adding “out
of the box” for a future release).   Here is the outline of
this approach:

 

- 
Basically
each user could create a Consumer with a subtopic to receive chat messages and
presence queries.  You could use the IM identity as part of the subtopic
name – e.g. “myIdentity.messages”.  The client would also
send messages to a different subtopic also based on the identity for publishing
presence events e.g. myIdentity.presence.   When the client connects,
it would also send an initial “I am available” message to the
myIdentity.presence subtopic, then would send additional messages such as “I
am idle” as its presence state changes.   On the server side,
you’d have a session destroy listener which would send the final “I
am disconnected” message to this subtopic from server code.   If
you are using HTTP sessions, you should probably put a timestamp in each
presence message and the timestamp for this “disconnected” message
should be the current time minus the session expiration time interval (since
that is the time of last request seen by this user when the session expires).  Make
sure you do not replace a more recent presence event with an older one in case
this user has logged on via a different browser in the meantime.

- 
Secondly,
to get visibility for other user’s presence events, the client would make
an RPC call to some server component you provide which supplies the client with
their buddy list.  The consumer would then issue Consumer.subscribe calls
for each buddy’s identity’s presence subtopic.   Once it
had subscribed to all of these, it would send a “presence query”
message to the myIdentity.messages subtopic.  In response to a presence
query, the client just sends a presence event to its myIdentity.presence
subtopic with its current presence state.  One other type of message you
receive on the myIdentity.messages subtopic would typically be actual IM’s. 
The body or headers of the message can contain things like the thread-id, the
sender etc.  You’d also use this channel to send other control
messages such as “an add buddy request” has been received.

 

Of course a real IM system requires
authentication and access control, buddy list approval but I think you can
implement this with these two subtopics per user.  One representing data
and control messages intended for the client, the other for data and control
messages sent by the client.    For buddy list approval, you
send another control message to the user’s “myIdentity.messages”
subtopic and the buddy would reply with a control message to the other user’s
“theirIdentity.messages” channel.   You can extend the
class flex.messaging.services.messaging.adapters.MessageAdapter and override
the allowSubscribe and allowSend methods to add authentication.  

 

The scalability is limited in this
approach because with the current FDS “out of the box” messaging
topology, every message goes through all servers in the cluster so it will not
continue to scale as you add servers.  It will work in a clustered
environment though and so will provide fault tolerance.

 

It is also possible for you to change the
messaging topology with a custom message adapter though now you would be
getting into some real coding effort.  To do this, you must handle
subscriptions yourself by overriding the “handlesSubscriptions” and
then the “manage” method gets called with the subscribe and
unsubscribe messages.  I think a more scalable topology for chat would be
to broadcast only the subscribe, unsubscribe, and presence change events, then
to cache the presence state for all users on all servers.  This would add
an order of magnitude or two of scalability in an IM system.  To get
complete scalability, you partition the users using some kind of a hashing
scheme.

Title: Re: [flexcoders] Embedding fonts at runtime





One addition to this, which is that we always include the 
space character when you specify the unicode range.  I'm not sure the 
original reasoning for this, but I just noticed it in the code.  Also, you 
can specify multiple ranges, separated by commas.

Re: [flexcoders] Not finding import mx.remoting.*;

2006-08-30 Thread Hasan Otuome







Hey Louie,

I don't believe that package exists. I've been using the attached file
in my AMFPHP projects. Maybe it can benefit you too. After dropping it
in your project root just add the following ActionScript to your app:

import
flash.net.Responder;
public var gateway:RemotingConnection;
public var response:Responder;

//basic query method
public function getData(service:String):void{
        response = new Responder(onResult, onFault); //success and
failure functions
        gateway = new
RemotingConnection("http://yourdomain.com/flashservices/gateway.php");
//connect to the gateway
        gateway.call(service, response); //call the service
}

//basic data modification method
public function updateData(service:String, params:Array):void{
        response = new Responder(onResult, onFault); //success and
failure functions
        gateway = new
RemotingConnection("http://yourdomain.com/flashservices/gateway.php");
//connect to the gateway
        gateway.call(service, response, params); //call the service
}

Then, just make those calls when necessary later on in your app. HTH...

Regarding your post:
Now I'm going to try and get this working using the

"netStream" object, so any ideas/recommendations would be helpful and

Re: [flexcoders] Re: CairngormEvent Antipattern

2006-08-30 Thread Ralf Bokelberg

The frontcontroller doesn't map events to commands but strings like
WidgetController.EVENT_ADD_WIDGET to commands. So any event with a
type set to WidgetController.EVENT_ADD_WIDGET, which reaches the
frontcontroller, triggers the command, which is bound to the string
WidgetController.EVENT_ADD_WIDGET.

Cheers,
Ralf.

Re: [flexcoders] Embedding fonts at runtime

2006-08-30 Thread Daniel Wabyick

Awesome! I'll definitely have to check this out.

On a related note, I wonder if its possible to embed fonts with a 
specific unicode range via this syntax.  It doesn't appear to be.

[Embed(systemFont='Symbol', fontName='mySymbol', 
mimeType='application/x-font')]
var myFont:Class;

I know you can use @font-face, which appears to automatically generate a 
variable in the class, but its not a consistently named variable. I am 
sure a utility function in the class could be used to ferret out that 
variable name.

[flexcoders] Re: Buffer progress bar for streaming FLV

Ok, Below is my updated "onEnterFrame()" method that updates a
progressBar component. It works great. Thanks again gang!

Now I'm going to try and get this working using the 
component. I'm not sure if I can get to its "netStream" object, so any
ideas/recommendations would be helpful and appreciated. 

Thanks!
Chris

/
private function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void
{
if(stream == null) return;
if(duration == 0) return;
var loadpct:Number = 
Math.round(Math.ceil((stream.time/duration)*100));

if(loadpct<=100)
{
bar.setProgress(loadpct,100);
bar.label= "CurrentProgress" + " " + loadpct + 
"%";
loadpct+=10;
}
if(loadpct>100)

loadpct=0;

[flexcoders] Re: CairngormEvent Antipattern

2006-08-30 Thread lostinrecursion

This approach seems like it could be extremely useful for me as I am
starting to build a lot of larger projects, but I have a quick comment.

Forgive me if I am off base here, but is there a mistake in the code
example? I am new to Cairngorm so bear with me for a moment.

According to your example, you call the event like so:

CODE
---
var addEvent : WidgetEvent = new
WidgetEvent(WidgetController.EVENT_ADD_WIDGET, widgetVO);
dispatchEvent(addEvent);
---

But, in the Controller, the EVENT_ADD_WIDGET constant, in keeping with
Cairngorm practice, equates to the following string: "addWidget"

So, my question is this, if the WidgetEvent expects a parameter of
commandName, which in this case would be "addWidgetCommand" (Again,
assuming you are using best practice), then how does the application
call the correct command?

Is it because the FrontController automatically maps Events to
Commands? I'm a little confused.

-K

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Specifying LineSeries itemRenderer with Actionscript






 
 
Well, in theory, we've gone to 
great lengths (and had long, heated, philisophical 'discussions' (read: knock 
down drag out fights)) over what the relationship between MXML and actionscript 
should be.  Right now, we try as much as possible to follow a very strict 
'no compiler magic' policy...specifically:
    - there's are simple rules for how an 
actionscript class's API dictates how it is used in MXML.  a developer 
should be able to look at a snippet of MXML and understand instantly how you 
would achieve the same thing in Actionscript (and vice 
versa).
    - variable references and expressions in MXML 
should be implemented using binding. That means a developer should be able to 
look at the MXML and know that if there are curly braces, it's a bit of code, 
and if there aren't, it's a literal value.
    - Beyond three or four core language tags 
(Script, Style, Repeater, Component, ??? ) the compiler should have no special 
knowledge of MXML other than the simple mapping rules described above.  if 
it's all driven by rules and classes, then it improves the chances you the 
developer will be able to learn the rules and figure out. What's more, if it's 
driven by rules and classes, then you can extend the product by writing your own 
classes that get access to all the same features and functionality our classes 
do.
 
That's the theory.  And the debate continues to this 
day.  As we add more functionality and features to the SDK, it gets very 
tempting to try and customize the MXML Schema in ways that don't quite follow 
the basic AS<-->MXML mapping rules.  But so far we're still resisting 
them.
 
Now one of the downsides of following these 'simple rules' 
is that at times the MXML for a particular construct or feature becomes much 
more verbose than we'd like it to be.  In those cases, we've got three 
choices:
 
    1) change the AS API to generate a less 
verbose MXML syntax.  This works in some cases (i.e., the API for 
constraints was changed between beta 1 and beta 2 for this reason).  But 
sometimes there's just a fundamental conflict between what dictates a good AS 
API vs. a good MXML syntax.  
    2) Another option would be to just allow 
custom syntax that breaks the mapping rules for that particular component.  
We don't like doing that (see above).  
    3) A third option is to extend the rules 
to allow for simplifying the syntax.  If the use case your looking at it 
general enough, and it can be tied to a generic set of inputs (i.e., a 
particular interface, or base class, rather than a specific component), that can 
be a generally useful solution.  It also has a cost associated with it, and 
can be abused, so we try and be judicious in how we use it.  The more we 
complexify (? nice word, huh ?) the mappping rules of MXML, the harder it gets 
to do the translation in your head as you read some markup, and the less benefit 
we get as described above.  
 
So in this case, we decided that the situation was 
generically useful enough to extend the language.  For 'renderer' or 
'template' use cases, where you write a component that can be passed another 
component to instantiate for some sub-part of itself, we wanted to make the 
markup simple.
 
So here the rule is that when the compiler sees a property 
of type IFactory, MXML allows two ways of specifying it. The first is just by 
providing a class name, like so:
 

 
In which case the compiler automatically wraps the class in 
a ClassFactory instance and assigns it.
 
The second is to specify an inline derived component, like 
so:
 

    
    
    

    

    

    
 
In which case the compiler reads the contents of the 
Component tag as a separate MXML component, creates a new class for it, wraps 
_it_ in a ClassFactory, and assigns that.  
 
So...once you know that rule, it should in theory be 
straightforward to recognize its use in some MXML or the API documentation and 
know how you replicate it yourself in AS.  In theory ;)
 
 
So to answer your original question, how are you supposed 
to figure this out?  Well, the answer is you're not.  There should be 
documentation...either showing the specific example of how to set an item 
renderer on a series from AS, or, even better, describing the general MXML 
rule so you can abstract the idea and apply it generally.  

 
Having said that, I can attest to the vast amount of of 
information the doc team has to communicate to the flex developer base, and the 
heroic job they do and have done getting it out.  It's an evolving process, 
and they watch this list for feedback, so things like this that cause difficulty 
should eventually make their way back into improvements to the 
doc.
 
Ely.

[flexcoders] Cairngorm / Hibernate Best Practices

2006-08-30 Thread dreuimar

Hey everyone,

I'm working on a rather large application, and have recently
transitioned from using my own Java DAO classes to Hibernate. One
screen of the application allows clients to add and modify lists of
keywords, along with text ads (FYI, this is a project that interacts
with Google AdWords). I had autocommit set to false for my Hibernate
DS, but the problem was I had to keep using the ServiceLocator to
commit the changes. Hitherto, the application's structure was very
strictly tied to Cairngorm's design pattern, but now I'm finding that
I'm needing to deviate from it a bit. The problem I'm also having with
autocommit set to true is that I'm not receiving back AsyncTokens, and
can therefore not deal with conflicts or faults.

Is there any method any of you have used to deal with Hibernate, or
even Dataservices, with Cairngorm, and what are some of the best
practices for using the two together?

Thanks,
Brennan

RE: [flexcoders] Re: TypeError: Error #1009 in AreaChart with variable Series






 
 
 
There's no easy workaround.  At one point I had a 
workaround which essentially involved you copying and pasting some code from the 
chart source with a line or two of change.  That's kind of a sketchy thing 
to do though, since at that point your mucking with implementation details that 
are subject to change from version to version. But I'll see if I can dig up the 
workaround again.

First, thanks so much for your response Ely. That's an excellent 
point about setting the series array. I hadn'tconsidered that. I guess 
that's why it's such a good idea to includecode snippets. You found an issue 
I didn't know I had. I've changedthe code to build the array and then assign 
it to the series property.In my case the area chart is in fact stacked 
so I assume it's the"known" issue you've referenced in several other posts. 
I changed itfrom stacked and it works great. Unfortunately, my requirements 
arethat it be stacked. Is there a work around for this 
issue?thanks,Mark

Re: [flexcoders] How to get client IP address in flex?

If you are wrapping SWF in server side script, you can easily use some server-side code to find out. SWFs are executed on client and they can not give IP address of client..Doing server-side is quite straight forward...

The problem is that the server can at best tell the ip of the last

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 patch timeline

2006-08-30 Thread Matt Chotin













Are there specific bugs you’re
looking to be addressed?  Based on direct feedback as well as observation from
the various public forums we’ve been pretty pleased with the quality of
the release so we’ve held off on rushing out an updater while we work on
things like the Mac release of Flex Builder.  Doesn’t mean we’re
not fixing bugs, but we’ve decided to try to address more issues in a
longer cycle rather than fewer issues quickly.

 

If there’s a specific issue that is
blocking your work use the wish form (http://www.adobe.com/go/wish)
to submit it and indicate so.  There are also plenty of official support
options available to help as well (http://www.adobe.com/support/programs/flex/?tab:plans=1)

Before I dive headlong into my first full Flex 2
project, can anybody 
from Adobe give me an update as to when/if there will be a patch for Flex 2?

[flexcoders] Re: Buffer progress bar for streaming FLV

Awesome!!! Worked perfectly. Thank You.

With all this in mind, is there a way to pull this of using the
 component? 

I created my app using that component but I could not figure out how
to access the stream. I figured I would do a rewrite using the
netStream object if necessary, but I would love to avoid doing that if
possible.

Thanks Again,
Chris

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Webservice and column name question.

2006-08-30 Thread Franck de Bruijn













I’m not sure if I understand you.

 

What do you see in the console output? Do
you see the column names? If not, it seems you’re not getting them from
the webservice.

 

Cheers,

Franck

Correct, the structure (column names) are dynamic
based on the
webservice operations. Let see if I can be more specific.

This is what I have so far, it returns the actual data in the console
window. But want to display the column names in the console 

test = new ArrayCollection( event.result as Array);
for each(var item in test) {
trace(item.Node1); 
}

Re: [flexcoders] Embedding fonts at runtime

2006-08-30 Thread Daniel Freiman




I altered the code a little and got it half working.  It works if you're setting the imported font using setStyle, but not if you're setting the font through the TextFormat object.  Simply add the lines:    var content:DisplayObject = 
ldr.content;    var c:Class = content["myFont"];    Font.registerFont(c);to the begining of onloadercomplete.I'm going to continue working on how to get the font to show up through TextFormat.

[flexcoders] Flex 2 Remoting and ASP.net (flourine?) examples?

2006-08-30 Thread a1111111111111

I have spent the last several years in the CF/J2EE world and have 
gotten quite used to the idea of using remoting with Flex. I just 
joined an asp.net group and I'm trying to figure out how to get Flex 
going with it. I'm not a huge fan of using webservices for data 
intensive applications. Does anyone have a tutorial on getting Flex 
2 and asp.net talking with remoting?

Thanks
