[Greg Johnson]

Right now, when something goes caput in a cfc I get back a realitivly 
meaningless set of information in Flex vs and CFML doc calling the same 
CFC and getting an error.

[flexcoders] Flex 2:Bind a variable to selectedIndex?

[Greg Johnson]

Basicaly I have an accordian view.  The first pannel is a dataGrid, the 
secound pannel is a viewstack.  What I want is for when I go from the 
dataGrid to teh viewstack, that the viewstack switch to the first 
view.  However all I seem to be able to do is ether get an error 
because the viewstack doesn't exist, or every time I click to switch 
the viewstack it throws me right back to the first view.  The viewstack 
will show the details for an item someone selects on the datagrid.

I thought if I could bind a variable to selectedIndex then I could just 
change that, and when the viewstack showed it would use that value and 
switch.

Any ideas?

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 2: Where's the color?

[Greg Johnson]

Ya, kinda had a feeling it was just a bug.  So went ahead and covered 
myself by telling boss we are just out of luck till the next release 
where this is fixed.  I might try the skin, just hate using a graphic 
where text should do the trick.

[flexcoders] Flex 2: Where's the color?

[Greg Johnson]

In Flex 1.5 panel header had the nice gradient haloGreen.  Now they are 
flat grey.  I have tried several different ways to change the color to 
a gradient, but to no avail?

Is there a place I can referance Flex 2 styling and what it can and 
cant do that Flex 1.5 could?

Thanks

[flexcoders] Flex 2:Having a major problem with what should be very simple.

[Greg Johnson]

I have an oracle database setup on one server.  
I have CF setup on another server with a datasource setup connecting to 
the oracle server.
I am querying oracle and getting back result set.
Included in that result set (from what I can see) is a field called 
Abstract with a type of "Long".  It contains a few paragraphs of text.  
When I just dump the variable to the screen outside of flex, it 
displays fine.  When I even try and pass the information back to  Flex 
however from a CFC it blows up.  No helpful error messages ether.

I do not have access to the CF Server admin nor the Oracle Admin.

Ideas?

Re: RES: [flexcoders] Flex 2:CFC can't seem to return the same type

[Greg Johnson]

Nope, haven't tried that yet.

Basicaly what I did to get it to work is to make all my variables in 
Flex2 be strings.  Then when I assign the value returned from the 
CFC, if its a date or number being returned I use String() which will 
convert the number or date to a string representation.




[Bindable]
public var date_dp:String = new String();
[Bindable]
public var total_dp:String = new String();

date_dp = String(result[0].DATE);
total_dp = String(result[0].TOTAL);

Then in the binding I use a currency formater and a date formater 
which seem to take strings or number/dates as acceptable input and 
output correctly.

[flexcoders] Flex 2:CFC can't seem to return the same type

[Greg Johnson]

I have a date field that gets returned to Flex2 from a CFC.  Thing is 
when there is a date in it, it returns a date.  When there is no date 
in it, it returns a empty string.

Flex is having indigestion as the Flex variable is of date type.  So 
when a date is returned, its happy, when a empty string is returned, it 
complains about coersion failure from string to date.

If this were a different language I would use something like IsDate, 
but the closest thing to it seems to be the DateValidator which, 
atleast as presented in the documentation, seems more complex then what 
I really need. 

Is there a function in Flex 2 that will accept a date or a empty string 
and will return ether a valid date or an empty date?  Or is there a 
better way to pass the date from the CFC so even when its "" flex still 
sees it as a date type?

Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 2:Package/Class problem

[Greg Johnson]

Well that definatly clears up a few things that were confusing me.

Basicaly what I am doing is that we have several intrAnet 
applications that we are trying to create a central reporting system 
for.

In all cases the reports will be based on a person or list of 
people.  We have a tabed interface where the first tab lets the 
manager build the list of people.  They can do this either by 
searching for and selecting individual people which builds a list of 
people's unique campus wide ID, or using departments and department 
codes, or eventually companies and company codes.

When you click on the next tab it takes whichever type of list the 
manager built and generates a list of whatever in a dataGrid.  You 
can then double click on a row and it uses a accordian to show a 
viewstack with all the details for that record.

However instead of coding the visual part all in one mxml file I have 
a main mxml file with the search, then each additional tab I have in 
a seperate mxml file as a component.  So in the tabNavigator I simply 
add lines like 

When I am inside one of the components I want to access the same 
doubleclick function I use in the main mxml.  However since the as 
file the doubleclick code is in is included in the main mxml the 
component can't see the function.  I have to add the 
mx.core.Application.application. in order for the component to 
see it.

So what I would rather do is just be able to add a include or 
something in the component making the functions already loaded in the 
main file available to the component file.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 2:Package/Class problem

[Greg Johnson]

This is a part I didn't even get a chance to get into with 1.5 so im 
coming kinda late in 2.

In my post you saw the functions that I want to make so I can use 
them all over without having to 
use "mx.core.Application.application." every time I use one.

Most of them I use in .as files not .mxml files.  And the ones I use 
in the .mxml files I usually use as function calls.  Like for a grid 
column that contains a date, I use the dateFunction parameter and 
give the function name.

I have looked at the interface and class builder "wizards".  But 
didn't really get anywhere with them.  I definatly need to optimize 
as much as I can as the applications I will be working on are going 
to be extensive in some cases.

Can you point me somewhere that shows how to build a "library" that I 
can use in any code I have by just putting in the import 
mylib.whatever.*?

Thanks
Greg

Hmm, well that pokes a hole in that plan.  If I have to create a 
bunch of different files it kinda is contrary to my goal of combining

[flexcoders] Flex 2:Package/Class problem

[Greg Johnson]

I am tryinig to create a class with functions that I use repeatedly 
so I can just include them in different components/applications.  As 
far as I can tell I have written it correctly, but when I use an 
include, and they try calling one of the functions, it doesn't work.

Here is the package
package mrstd{
// Imported Libraries
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
import mx.containers.TitleWindow;
import mx.controls.gridclasses.DataGridColumn;
import mx.managers.DragManager;
import mx.events.DragEvent;
import mx.formatters.*
import flash.util.Timer;

// Standard Library Class
public class stdlib {
// Does what it says, used when a function has to be 
called, but you don't actually want to do anything
public function doNothing():Void {} 

// Get Today's Date as a string
public function getToday():String {
var today_date:Date = new Date();
var date_str:String = ((today_date.getMonth()
+1)+"/"+today_date.getDate()+"/"+today_date.getFullYear());
return date_str;
}
}

// Mouse Related Functions
public class mouseHandlers {
// Handles drag and drop events.
public function doDragDrop(event:DragEvent):Void {
private var items:Array = 
event.dragSource.dataForFormat("items");
private var dest:Object = event.currentTarget;
private var dropLoc:int = dest.getDropLocation
();
dest.hideDropFeedback(event);
items.reverse();
var l:int = items.length;
for(var i:int = 0; i < l; i++) {
dest.dataProvider.addItemAt(items[i], 
dropLoc);
}
event.preventDefault();
}   

// Variables used for detectDoubleClick function
private var lastClick:int = 0;
private var lastObject:Object = new Object();;
private var lastIndex:int = 0;
private var maxTicks:int = 300;

// Detect if a double click was made and if so, call 
a function
public function detectDoubleClick(event:Object, 
functionToCall:Function, ... args):Void {
var currentClick:int;
var currentObject:Object;
var currentIndex:int;
var clickDif:int;
currentClick = getTimer();
currentObject = event.target;
currentIndex = event.index;
clickDif = currentClick - lastClick;
if( clickDif <= maxTicks && currentObject == 
lastObject && currentIndex == lastIndex ) {
lastClick = currentClick;
lastObject = currentObject;
lastIndex = currentIndex;
if (args[0] == null) {
functionToCall();
} else {
functionToCall(args);
}
}
lastClick = currentClick;
lastObject = currentObject;
lastIndex = currentIndex;
}
}

// Standard Formaters
public class formaters {
private var StdMoneyFormat:CurrencyFormatter = new 
CurrencyFormatter();
private var StdDateFormat:DateFormatter = new 
DateFormatter();
StdMoneyFormat.precision=2;
// Formats a dataGrid cell as money
public function formatMoney(dpItem:Object, 
dgColumn:DataGridColumn):String {
return StdMoneyFormat.format(dpItem
[dgColumn.columnName]);
}

// Formats a dataGrid cell as a date
public function formatDate(dpItem:Object, 
dgColumn:DataGridColumn):String {
return StdDateFormat.format(dpItem
[dgColumn.columnName]);
}

// Formats a dataGrid cell as a string that is x 
characters long followed by an elipse
public function shortString(dpItem:Object, 
dgColumn:DataGridColumn, x:Number):String {
var tmpString:String;
tmpString = dpItem[dgColumn.columnName];
if (tmpString.length > x) {
tmpString = tmpString.substr(0,x);
tmpString = tmpString.concat('...');
}

Ok, that was a nausiating hour as we need to show this to some big

I knowtice that if I just try to run the html/swf directly I don't get 
any of the data, iow I get my initial drop box, but without anything in 
it.  It appears to not work.  However if I click run in the builder it 
comes up fine.

Is the alpha designed so you can't "deploy" the compiled SWF (which I 
could understand) or am I just doing something wrong?

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 2: Oracle - type long ??

[Greg Johnson]

Well it looked promicing for a bit.  It stoped the error message.  
But when I decode it all I get is 1 character :/

I did a LEN() on what was returned and found out its apparently using 
2-byte char encoding as when I did a LEFT(...,20) I only got the 
first 10 characters.

*sigh*

[flexcoders] Flex 2: Oracle - type long ??

[Greg Johnson]

I am stuck with using Oracle for a datasource with a project.  One 
field that is returned back is of type long in oracle.  When I try to 
return it as part of my results, Flex throws a fit.  I comment that one 
thing out, and it's fine.

I tried using ToString in the CFC but that didn't work.

Any ideas how to get the long field returned to Flex2???

[flexcoders] FLEX2: Date Cell Renderer Solved

[Greg Johnson]

It looks like :)

Ok, here is what I did.  First in the MXML I created a Currency 
Formater.



Then in the dataGrid for the column I wanted to format I used the 
labelFunction parameter



and in my Actionscript file I created a function.

import mx.controls.gridclasses.DataGridColumn;
public function formatNumber(dpItem:Object, 
dgColumn:DataGridColumn):String {
return StdMoneyFormat.format(dpItem[dgColumn.columnName]);
}

unlike cellRenderer, in a dataGrid (**only**) the labelFunction 
passes 2 items.  The std dataObject that cellRenderer passes and 
specificaly the column information.  So I just do a simple return of 
the dataObject indexed by the columnName in the dataGridColumn object.

Just as a note, there is also a columnNumber in the dataGridColum 
object that would do exactly the same, just with the numerical index 
value vs the enumerated index value.

This should work for all the data Formaters includeing Date.

**only** = Acording to the documentation, anything else that uses the 
labelFunction only gets the dataObject since they are 1 dimential 
arrays vs 2 dimentional grids.  Plus if you specify one of the drop 
in renderers it will adjust in all cases to send what they need.  As 
I understand it.

[flexcoders] Re: FLEX2: Date Cell Renderer

[Greg Johnson]

Think i replyed to the wrong addy since it hasn't shown up in the 
list.  

Is there some code somewhere I can look at that specificaly is 
redering the date.  I have messed around and can get a datefield box 
to show, but I don't need to have it edit, I just need to display the 
date mm/dd/.  I have also written my own mxml and still nogo.

[flexcoders] FLEX2: Date Cell Renderer

[Greg Johnson]

Ok, for flex 1.5 I had downloaded a nice AS file that would render 
dates in cells for me.  However dispite me updateing it to work in 
Flex 2 it doesn't.  Any ideas what I missed?


/*
 * DateFormatCellRenderer is a simple Label-based cell renderer that 
displays
 * its item content in a known date format.
 */
package {
import mx.formatters.DateFormatter;
import mx.controls.Label;
class DateFormatCellRenderer extends Label
{   
var getDataLabel:Function;
static var dateFmt:DateFormatter;

private function init() : Void
{
// instantiate the 1 and only date formatter (more 
efficient than
// have a date formatter for every instance of the 
cell renderer).
if( dateFmt == null ) {
dateFmt = new DateFormatter();
dateFmt.formatString = "MM/DD/";
}
super.initialize();
}

private function setValue(str:String, item:Object, 
sel:Boolean):Void
{
if( item != null ) {
// format the date value in the cell
this.text = dateFmt.format(item[getDataLabel
()]);
}
else {
this.text = "";
}
}

private function size() : Void
{
this.setActualSize(explicitWidth,explicitHeight);
}
}
}

btw the size function change is a complete guess on my part.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 2: Where is the Timer Class

[Greg Johnson]

Hm.  Will take a look at that as well.  Would always be better to 
use an pure internal doubleclick even.  Will check it out when I 
check out the mouse stuff as I would want it to detect if you moved 
the mouse (to prevent the clicking two rows of a datagrid so quick it 
registered a double).

Thanks, thats what I needed.  I was in the flex builder for a bit 
trying include blahblahblah to try and use the codehints to help me 
find it :) Never did.  Now I can write my double click detector.

[flexcoders] Flex 2: Where is the Timer Class

[Greg Johnson]

This is a repost since we can't edit something we already did.  I just 
wanted to clerify the subject line.

Flex 2 docs say the old timer functions have been removed and there is 
a Timer Class.  However in the docs for the Timer Class there is a 
blank page.

Does anyone know where I can read about the methods etc of the new 
class?  Or can tell me what they are?

I am trying to write a new doubleClick checker and this need a timer.

Thanks

Ah.  Very interesting.  I just gave up on the X and did a

[flexcoders] Re: Flex2: Popup Error

[Greg Johnson]

In the end I solved it by just writing my own code using the example 
in Flex2 Sample Explorer.  Thing is every example of sending data to 
a popup I have found usually instead shows returning data :/

But I have a way I can easily send and recieve from a popup.

Here is the code im using.

This is the function that displays the popup.

import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
// Error Handler Function
public function err(message:String, title:String):Void {
  var errpop:MyPopup = MyPopup(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, 
MyPopup, true));
  errpop.title = title;
  errpop.messagebox.htmlText = message;
}

And here is the Popup File


http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml"; width="500" 
height="503"
borderStyle="outset" cornerRadius="10" backgroundColor="#80" 
themeColor="#80" title="Error" color="#FF" 
borderColor="#80">









Key things to note in the popup function is that you are setting the 
type of the popup handle to the popup's name.  This little trick then 
lets you access anything in the popup:Variables, Functions, 
Components.  In theory if you defined the popup handle variable 
outside the function you could then be interactive if you made the 
window non-model.  I use model since I am using it to display error 
messages.

[flexcoders] Flex2: Popup Error

[Greg Johnson]

BTW Thanks to Spike, he gave me the little bits I needed to finally see 
what I needed to "get it" with the changes in 2.

Now I have tried many variations of a popup window to send stuff too.  
It works for the most part.  But when I close the window I get an error.

Here is the function that fires the popup window up.
---
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
import mx.containers.TitleWindow;
// Error Handler Function
public function err(message:String, title:String):Void {
var errpop:TitleWindow = TitleWindow
(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, MyPopup, true));
errpop.title="Test";

Ya, if you could email that to me it would be good as I just use a

Hehe, ya, my boss was sitting on the fence between Flex 1.5 and Flash 8 
for this major "application", luckily the news about 2 came out in time 
to tip things as he had stoped my development on 1.5 and was about to 
have me start using Flash 8 instead.

[flexcoders] Re: Dividing the mailing list into categories

[Greg Johnson]

Hehehe *raises hand as Flex Newbie*

But I have been using Flash and Actionscript for 5+ years and have 
been coding CF since it's first Beta release.  Plus I have a Degree 
in Business Computer Programing where I was fully educated in OOP 
with C++.

I understand what you are saying, and there is a valid logic to it.  
There is a flaw to it as well.  Its kinda like those party lines you 
call to "meet a hot babe" and all that you find is a bunch of guys.  
If you put all the n00bs like me in one room, and the experts in 
another, it will just be people who don't have any answers asking 
questions of people who don't have any answers. rofl

Don't take any of my most recent posts wrong, I agree that Flex is 
great.  We have an entire project, grant, and I have an offer for me 
to go to full time state emp specificaly because of Flex2.  Its just 
frusterating as it seems most of the syntax etc I learned with Flex 
1.5 is just causing errors now.

I would have grave doubts that creating an all n00b area would 
benifit the n00bs, though I am sure it would benifit the pros :)  
Just my 2000 cents :D

[flexcoders] Re: Ok, im lost with Flex 2

Ya. I understand that, but it seems like they threw the baby out with 
the bathwater and dumped everything they had done up to Flex 1.5 and 
started from scratch and just haven't built back up to even the level 
of the previous version.

And I looked at that page first thing, and made all the changes, and 
still ended up with 100s of errors.  I have also looked at the new 
Flex 2 Explorer and gone though the code in the as files it uses, and 
even when I include the same things they do, I get errors.

1.5 I had a fairly intricate and function application working, 2 and 
im having to start with the hello world tutorials to try and figure 
out why things are not working.  I would stick with 1.5 at this point 
but we specificaly need to have the ability to create SWFs vs being 
dependent on the server, plus the trial only has 26 more days and we 
aint spending the money for 1.5 when 2 should be gold by the first 
half of next year.  So I am frusterated right now.

[flexcoders] Ok, im lost with Flex 2

[Greg Johnson]

It seems like they went out of there way to remove features in coding 
and make things far far more difficult or am I missing something?

I have my AS code in different files, and right now have nothing but 
function stubs, and am getting no end of errors :/

I create a variable
var investigatorSelectionGrid_dp:Array = new Array(1);

first thing it does is on the mxml side where I have it assigned to a 
dataProvider parameter it says something about possibly not being 
able to see changes or something.  So I add [Bindable] over it.  Then 
it says I can't use [Bindable] on a non-public variable, so I add 
public before it.  It still says its a "non-public" variable.  
*scream*

It was so simple before and seems to be like pulling teeth now, im 
going nuts.  I can't belief they would louse up Flex as bad as it 
seems they have, so I am hoping I am missing something that knowing 
makes it all atleast mostly as easy as before. 

Anyone?!?!
Tnks
Greg

[flexcoders] Flex 2: Passing to a PopupWindow

[Greg Johnson]

Ok, I can get the basic popup window fine.  Hand to scratch the old 
popupwindow code I had gotten from cflex.net because it was throwing 
tons of errors in Flex 2.  Thing is, I can't figure out how to set a 
text field in the popup when it's called.

[flexcoders] Re: Row Height Overflow

[Greg Johnson]

Ya, my mistake was I had a marginbottom="15".  For some reason when 
you set the left and right margins it moves the outer edge in, but 
when you do the bottom, it effects every single row.

Still though, it still leaves me with the problem of getting the 
height to adjust.

IOW say it takes 30 lines to fill the screen.  If the CFC returns 20, 
I don't want 20 result lines and 10 blank lines, I just want 20 
lines.  But if it returns 40 results, I just want 30 result lines and 
the scrollbar.

[flexcoders] Re: Row Height Overflow

[Greg Johnson]

Figures as soon as I post I find out atleast part of what was wrong.  
The only problem I have now is the last one below, getting the grid to 
only show x rows if the # of items in the datagrid is less then the 
number of rows that would completly fill the height.

[flexcoders] Row Height Overflow

[Greg Johnson]

I need the rows of a datagrid to stay at 1 line if none of the cells in 
that row is bigger then one line, but if one is I need that cell to 
wrap and the row to expand.  I also only want used rows showing up to a 
max overall height and then show the scroll bar.

However it seems all I can get the rows to do is ether by 1 line and 
not wrap, or all the rows be more then 1 line.  Plus I can get it to 
only display the number of rows that are used.  I have tried setting 
the rowHeight to 0 and 1 and programaticly setting it to 
dataSource.length but to no avail.

Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: Cause and Effect

[Greg Johnson]

I am probably over-complicating it, thats always a possiblity.

However the reason I can't is because the second search that actually 
gets used will be dependent on which of the 4 tabs you select.  But 
the first search needs to stay the same.

IOW for example

1. Search for Departments based on partial department name
2. Select Department from returned list
3. Click on Car Tab
4. Get the Unique IDs of every person in the list of selected 
departments
5. Get all the cars for all the people returned from step 4 adding a 
date range filter.
6. Double click on a car to view that car's details.

BUT

At Step 3 you can actualy click any of the following
Click on Car Tab
Click on DoorKey Tab
Click on Employment File Tab
Click on Room Tab

in all 4 instances it would have to do Step 4, and other then sending 
the results to different second searchs 
(Car/DoorKey/EmploymentFile/Room) it would always be the same that 
you are taking a list of departments and generating a list of 
people's unique IDs who are in those departments.

But since you only go get the people list from the departments when 
you click the tab, and at the same time it automaticaly submits a 
search for whatever that tab is about, it is a problem as when the, 
say, car search runs, the people list will not have had a chance to 
be populated.

[flexcoders] Re: Cause and Effect

[Greg Johnson]

It might help if I also actually asked a question I guess :)

I need the department to people list to be generic, but depending on 
what tab you are on for the result event to be handled by a function 
based on the tab you ahve selected.

I am guessing this means using a custom event that is dispatched by 
the generic result handler and then changing the event handler 
function by adding a new event listener.

However I do not know how to do this eactly, nor do I know what to 
attack the listeners to with each tab.  I have look in the 
documentation, but if the answer is there, I am just not getting it 
as I have tried different attacks and only get error messages.

So 1, how would I create a custom event to use the dispatchEvent 
function when the dept2id result handler runs, and what do I need to 
dispatch the event from.  And what should I assign the listener to?

[flexcoders] Cause and Effect

[Greg Johnson]

Ok.  Lets say I have a search screen(btw the queries are running via 
a webservice to a set of CFCs).  The search screen lets you choose 
between person, department, and company.  

Person Search returns a list of people you can select from.
Department Search returns a list of departments you can select from.
Company Search returns a list of companies you can select from.

Then you click one of 4 tabs.

When you click on a tab, and the search was for people, it uses there 
unique IDs in a search of what they are responsible for and returns 
that.

If the search was for departments then a list of people in all of 
those departments has to be created so the seach can use that list of 
people's unique IDs.  Same kinda thing for Company.

Getting the list of people in all the departments is easy.  The 
difficult part is how to get the second search that runs when you 
click the tab to wait until the the department call finishes to run 
it's search.  Plus each tab will need to be able to do this.

Obveously the simple approch would be that each sub search have it's 
own webservice operation and result handler.  However this interface 
will have other tabs added later that have nothing to do with what im 
working on how save they draw there unquie person IDs from the same 
inital search.

[flexcoders] Re: How would I use a variable to define the wsdl param in mx:WebService?

[Greg Johnson]

Unfortuately the server with the CFCs on it I do not have access to 
the CF Admin interface.

This seems to be a difficulty when you use the WebService or 
something.  Glad you are not having this problem because it's 
annoying.  Apparently when you first call a CFC "stubs" are generated 
in some directory.  These prevent changes made to the cfc files to 
actually work.  I have tried many ways to force it to update but to 
no avail.

[flexcoders] Re: How would I use a variable to define the wsdl param in mx:WebService?

[Greg Johnson]

Basicaly im trying to work around two issues.  1 I have a dev and a 
prod version in diferent directories and would like to not have to 
edit the WebService tag every time I move the dev to production.  
Plus I have to keep changing the filename of the cfc to get Flex to 
see the new code when I have edited it.  I have tried a variety of 
ways to get the cfcs not to create stubs or recreate stubs but 
nothing works but chaning the filename.

[flexcoders] Re: Calling down?

[Greg Johnson]

I just figured out what it was.  Since for some reason Flex Builder 
doesn't seem to place nice with other apps including the server (I 
get major delays and lockups) I run it on a different computer.  For 
some reason builder wasn't syncing correctly.

Right now I am just trying to figure out why my webservice call in 
the component is throwing "could not connect" at me for WSDL

[flexcoders] Calling down?

[Greg Johnson]

I have an application and a custom component.  I have a line like 



in the custom component I have created a function called

public function initTech()

But when I am in the upper level application and try to do

otdt.initTech();

the system tells me initTech() is not a method.

What's up?

[flexcoders] Flex or Flash, opinions?

[Greg Johnson]

I am currently finishing up doing the first part of a Management 
Reporting system in Flex 1.5.  Then I am going to try and reproduce it 
in Flash 8.  Then I get the fun of making the official decision of what 
we will use.

What does Flex 1.5 have over Flash 8 (knowing that Flex 2 and Flash 8.5 
are coming along at some point, but will prob have to decide before 
they get here.)

Or vise versa.

We would like the best of both worlds, to be able to spit out Q&D 
reports and have a full central interface that can both run off the 
same webservices (CFCs).

Thanks

[flexcoders] CFC Cashing

I make a change to the CFC and the Flex App doesn't see it unless I 
change the CFC's filename.

How can I force it to see the updates without having to constantly play 
musical filenames?

[flexcoders] Nesting Instinct on overload?

[Greg Johnson]

How far can you nest custom components?

IOW including one in another.  Right now im looking at like 5 or 6 layers
Main App File
window1 - file
   .as file
window2 - file
   .as file
window3 - file
   .as file
   tab1 - file
  .as file
  window1
 viewstack1 - file
.as file
 viewstack2 - file
.as file
 viewstack3 - file
.as file
  window2 - file
 .as file
  window3
tab2 - file
   .as file
   tab1 - file
  .as file
  accordian1 - file
 .as file
  accordian2 - file
 .as file
 viewstack1 - file
.as file
 viewstack2 - file
.as file
 viewstack3 - file
.as file
 viewstack4 - file
.as file
 viewstack5 - file
.as file
   tab2 - file
  .as file
   tab3 - file
  .as file
   tab4 - file
  .as file

Yes, this is a very very very complex app that I need to be highly 
expandable but still easy to work on the code, so I was breaking it up 
into lots of small files.  But then I started getting errors saying it 
can't read .as file this or that and I know 100% the file is there 
because I used the "browse" mode to select it.

Have I gone too bonkers for Flex's like?

Thanks
Greg

Re: [flexcoders] Search while you type?

[Greg Johnson]

I did some sniffin around and got mine to work right.  For anyone
interested I made a kinda generic version below.

// sourceArray = any array
you are currently using as a datasource, most likely it will be
preloaded with entries
// search = the ID of the text entry field you want to use while typing
private function
filterlist() {
    var TempObject:Object = new Object(); // This will hold a source
structure
    var RunningArray:Array = new Array(); // This will become the new
dataSource for the datagrid
    var compString:String = new String(); // This will have just the
element of the TempObject you want to test
    // Start Looping over the original datasource
    for(var i=0; i < sourceArray.length; i++){
 TempObject = sourceArray[i]; // Assign the current
source row structure to the TempObject
     compString = TempObject.TITLE; // Assign the comp(are)String to
the Element you want to filter on
    // check of the text property of most likly a text field, if it is
in the compString
     if ( compString.indexOf(String(search.text)) >= 0 ) {
     RunningArray.push(TempObject); //If it is a match, add the row
from the source to the filtered array
        }
    }
    destinationDataGrid.dataProvider = RunningArray; // Rebind the
DataGrid to the new filtered array
    destinationDataGrid.dataProvider.dispatchEvent({type:
"modelChanged"}); // Dont know if this is needed, may work without.
}

No wildcards or anything like that are needed, esentialy its
just like searching with the astrix wild character on each end of
whatever you type.  Its pretty fast since the data is already loaded
into memeory

Hope this helps someone

Re: [flexcoders] Calls to CFCs

[Greg Johnson]

Here is the start of the CFC function
    
        
        
        

I tried the change on the variables and nothing.

I then replaced the variables I was sending with '' and in the cfc made
innovators a string vs array and still got the error message.
Peter Farland wrote:

  
  
  
  I could probably solve your JRun
errors too if you posted them... but that aside, I can help you turn on
server side tracing for the CFMX 7 version of the gateway what you
need to do is look out for the gateway-config.xml file that is specific
to the gateway that you're calling. It might be under:
   
  /WEB-INF/coldfusion/gateway-config.xml
   
  I believe the servlet that's
mapped to /flashservices will have an init param in /WEB-INF/web.xml
that points you to the location of the configuration file that the
gateway is using.
   
  Anyway, in this file you'd set
the logger to debug:
   
  Debug">(whatever
gateway logger implementation CF uses would be listed here... I think
it was coldfusion.flash.ColdFusionLogger if I remember
correctly)
   
  You should then be able to look
at the log to see a dump of the AMF traffic that went through the
gateway's serializer... this might give you a clue as to which
parameters are being sent to your CFC method.
   
  I think CFMX 7 redirects log
info to a flash.log. If you started JRun from the command line and
wanted to just see this info on the console you could always switch to
use the DefaultLogger:
   
  flashgateway.log.DefaultLogger
   
   
  Also, I'd still like to look at
the  and  tag signatures for your
CFC method
   
   
  In any case, can you try this
instead:
   
  var otd_tech_after_db:String = "";
var otd_tech_before_db:String = "";
   
  If it's not that, can you try narrowing down
which attribute is causing it in the call (i.e. by sending null or
something you know is a primitive type or a structure that could not
possibly contain non-primitive types for the aforementioned Boolean,
String or Class types... i.e. don't necessarily trust an API to return
you a primitive until you've tracked down the cause)?

I tried to set that once and started getting J-Run errors.  We are
running MX7.

[flexcoders] Search while you type?

[Greg Johnson]

I return a list from a database into a datagrid.  I then have a text 
entry field with a keydown event set to call a function.
The function runs though the currently loaded like, compares what is in 
the text entry field's .text property and creates a array with only 
those entries then resets the dataprovider parameter of the datagrid to 
the filtered list.  Here is the code

private function filterlist() {
var TempObject:Object = new Object();
var RunningArray:Array = new Array();
for(var i=0; i < OTD_TECH_RESULTS.dataProvider.length; i++){
 TempObject = OTD_TECH_RESULTS.dataProvider[i];
 if ( TempObject.INTERNAL_CASE_NUMBER.indexOf(search.text)) {
 RunningArray.push(TempObject);
}
}
OTD_TECH_RESULTS.dataProvider = RunningArray;
OTD_TECH_RESULTS.dataProvider.dispatchEvent({type: "modelChanged"});
}

INTERNAL_CASE_NUMBER is one of the columns

What happens is that it gives me no entries once I type the first 
character, and even when I got it to return results it wouldn't seem to 
update once I hit a second key unless I hit backspace first.

I am using indexOf because I couldn't find a find command anywhere.

Any ideas how I can make this work?

Re: [flexcoders] Calls to CFCs

[Greg Johnson]

Well the problem with it not passing solved itself somehow.  Debugger
still wont let me watch variables though.

I tried the ? and while it prevented it from hanging, when I go do one
search I get a message about unsupported type in stream so I just went
back to the webservice.  Even tried diffferent tweeks to the cfc etc
and it wouldn't work.

Peter Farland wrote:

  
  
  
  Note that my suggestion was
to append the ? query string marker, please let me know if this
resolves the issue as your initial symptoms described the issue with
AppendToGatewayUrl exactly.
   
  Also, the problem is that
Flash Remoting (and hence still Flex's RemoteObject) with ColdFusion
introduced the concept of named arguments. That is, if your CFC is
expecting a Struct as a single argument and you're sending it an
object, then it won't work as the CFC proxy between the gateway
interprets them as "named arguments" and thus looks for parameters to
match each of the keys in the AS Object. Try adding a second, dummy
variable to the CFC function and let me know if this solves the issue.

I've seen USERID and alike being added to the gateway url when making

In that case, without the ending '/', the gateway url gets messed up.

Create a CFM template and call the methods on the CFC the same way you
want your Flex app to. This will let you know if it is the CFC having
a problem.
  
When you call the method, dump out and write the dump to file using

This way you can see what CF is getting from the Flex app.
  
May be usefull to see your calling Flex code to give us an idea of how
you are calling the cfc.

[flexcoders] Calls to CFCs

[Greg Johnson]

We are currently running the dev/demo copy of flex to see if it will do 
what we need.  Thing is we have ran into a strange bug.

The code makes a call to a CFC and gets back data fine the first time, 
but the second time we make a call it just gets hung up.  Yet I don't 
run into the problem when I am on the server itself.  Any ideas? or 
questions? :)

Re: [flexcoders] Comparing Structure Elements - Not Working

[Greg Johnson]

I got it
var isNew:Boolean = true;
function addfromIS():Void {
 var SrcItem:String =
IS_RESULTS.dataProvider[IS_RESULTS.selectedIndex].PERSON_ID;
            isNew = true;
            if (SelectionList.length>0) {
 for (var i = 0; i
 var CompItem:String =
Person_List.dataProvider[i].PERSON_ID;
 if (SrcItem == CompItem) {
 isNew = false;
 }
 }
 }
 if (isNew) {

Person_List.dataProvider.addItem(IS_RESULTS.dataProvider[IS_RESULTS.selectedIndex]);
 }
}
The key was getting the info through the datagrid instead of
directly from the dataProvider.  I have absolutely no idea why.  If
anyone can shed light on this for me it would be apreciated.  This is
only the 3rd day I've been working with Flex, and with no prior
education on Flex. :)

Re: [flexcoders] Comparing Structure Elements - Not Working **SPAM**

[Greg Johnson]

Nope, leaving the comparison as below
if (SrcItem.Person_ID != CompItem.Person_ID) {
results in me being able to add the same name over and over again
if (SrcItem.Person_ID == CompItem.Person_ID) {
lets me add one name but no other names.

Re: [flexcoders] Comparing Structure Elements - Not Working **SPAM**

[Greg Johnson]

I forgot to say exacty what I need.  I have 2 datagrids and need to
move rows from one to another making sure that the destination doesn't
already have the same row.  Could someone look at the code I have and
see why the check for duplicates isn't working?

[flexcoders] Comparing Structure Elements - Not Working

[Greg Johnson]

I have 2 Datagrids.  One gets populated by a call to a CFC, the other 
starts databound to an empty array

The Source Datagrid has a list of names.  I let the person click on, 
then click a button.  Then a function checks to make sure the person is 
not already in the list.  If they are not in the list, it adds them to 
the list.

Both have a structure of
PERSON_ID
FULL_NAME
DEPT_CODE
DEPT_NAME

The comparison is on PERSON_ID which is a unique number stored in the 
SQL Database as test. SelectionList is bound to the destination Datagrid 
and here is the function that brings in the data for the source grid.

private function doResultGetPeople(result:Array):Void{
var TempObject:Object = new Object();
var GetPeopleArray:Array = new Array();
for(var i=0; i < result.length; i++){
 TempObject = result[i];
 GetPeopleArray.push(TempObject);
}
IS_RESULTS.dataProvider = GetPeopleArray;
Selections.visible=true;
   }

Here is my code that is always evaluating true

var SelectionList:Array = new Array();
function addfromIS():Void {
var SrcItem = 
IS_RESULTS.dataProvider.getItemAt(IS_RESULTS.selectedIndex);
if(SelectionList.length > 0) {
for (var i=0; i
