Re: [flexcoders] Modify label text
add the datachange event listener to the itemrenderer, and on datachange,
set the label, or the variable what you bind to it.
you can't bind functions.

Your workaround works perfectly,

Looks like there are a couple of bugs in there. File the bugs against
Adobe if you have an Adobe support contract, otherwise file against Apache
Flex.
I used the following hack in applyDateFilter that appears to work. If you
don't change the scrollposition, it doesn't cause a full update of the
screen.
var oldvsp:Number = dgTransactions.grid.verticalScrollPosition;
_dateFilteredCollection = new ArrayCollection(dateFilteredArray);
applySort();
applySearch();
dgTransactions.grid.verticalScrollPosition = oldvsp + .1;
dgTransactions.grid.verticalScrollPosition = oldvsp;

Hi Alex
To replicate the problem.
- launch the app (it will populate the datagrid with values)
- choose a different date in the date picker on the top left
- the dataprovider will get updated but the datagrid doesn't update
properly, instead it just remains blank
- use the scroller on the right-hand side to scroll through the datagrid,
the datagrid will then render properly
Thanks

RE: [flexcoders] setStyle, preinitialize and initialize
Doing it in the 'initialize' event seems like the right way to do it. The 'initialize' event still occurs before the LayoutManager has sized and positioned the children. But if you wait until creationComplete() the LayoutManager has already laid out the children and calling setStyle()will force another layout.

Re: [flexcoders] Fonts and localization
I’m not an expert in Asian fonts, but my understanding is that the TextLine
font rendering, regardless of language, is trying to be more accurate in terms
of proportions of character details, and attempts to use anti-aliasing and
half-pixels to do it. Some folks think the old way looks better because it
distorts the character details to fit things on pixel boundaries. But others
prefer the new way.
If you look at the screenshot in your original post you will see the size and
shape of the “circular” portions of many characters is more elongated in the
MX/old way. You would have to look at a print version of the font to see
whether that shape is accurate or not. My guess is that it isn’t because it is
distorted to fit on pixel boundaries and some people don’t like that because it
makes the characters look like they do on an old stadium scoreboard. So it
seems to be a trade-off, especially at smaller font sizes.

RE: [flexcoders] Fonts and localization
Can you clarify something then? I’m learning all of this. For Korean,
Simplified Chinese, and Japanese, I’m being told the font (or rendering) of
characters in MX is cleaner and more readable then the Spark components. Why
the change? Using MX only would be a serious step backwards…

MX uses TextField, Spark defaults to TextLine which will render a bit

I’m trying to understand what Adobe Flex is doing for Korean (and other

I have the following sample app. The font used to display the label when run
is different than the grid, even though I am not defining a font or setting
anything in a css. Why? Screenshot attached (if it comes through in the post).

Re: [flexcoders] Nested Modules: No destination with id null is registered with any service
Actually, you have four commonly used options whenever a parameter or property is of type ApplicationDomain: null new ApplicationDomain() ApplicationDomain.currentDomain new ApplicationDomain(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain) New ApplicaitonDomain() will never work for modules. It is used in MarshallPlan configurations. ApplicationDomain.currentDomain is used to load classes that you do not wish to unload. Once you mix classes from a loaded SWF into the current ApplicationDomain, they cannot be unloaded. RSLs use this option, and StyleModules occasionally use this option. Shared Code modules may use this option. It depends on whether the classes in the loaded SWF should remain encapsulated or not. New ApplicationDomain(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain) is usually what happens when you use null. It creates a child ApplicationDomain which encapsulates the classes which allows them to later be unloaded. The problem is that the value of ApplicationDomain.currentDomain changes based on the SWF that owns the code. Because ModuleManager is almost always in the main SWF, the null value, which implies “new ApplicationDomain(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain) always creates a child ApplicationDomain of the main SWF, even though you might have called it from a module. This is resolved in Flex 4.5 with fancier code, but you said you were using Flex 3. So, you are probably loading all modules into the main SWF’s applicationDomain which is probably not really what you want if you care about unloading. You’ve essentially converted that module into an RSL, which is why it works. You probably want to use “new ApplicationDomain(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain)” which is not the same as null when called from a module.

RE: [flexcoders] Nested Modules: No destination with id null is registered with any service
Thanks...I think that clears it up. So, if I am understanding correctly, for consistency, I should call .load(new ApplicationDomain(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain)); for module loads inside of modules, and from inside the main application as well (since apparently that is the same thing that happens if you call .load(); from the application anyway).

Re: [flexcoders] Rendering Freezes
Well, we don’t have confirmation that there is a bug in idle management. But if that was the cause, I don’t think there is a way to keep yourself from becoming “idle”. I’m just recalling the kinds of issues that came up when they started idle management a few years back. Google “Adobe AIR idle” for a review.

Yes, based on one of the posts I saw, adding a small image to the display list once in a while.

Re: [flexcoders] How To Disable Module Screen Updates....
Don’t call factory.create() until the first time you go to that tab.

So, is there a way to disable all component rendering (i.e. screen updates) in each module until the user selects focus for each particular container/module? There's no reason to draw everything at the same time when all of them can't be seen at the same time. Imagine each module is added to a tab in tabnavigator and that only the first visible tab/module has been rendered, when any other tab is selected, the module then and only then renders itself. -- Alex Harui Flex SDK Team Adobe Systems, Inc. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui

The problem is that when the user selects a date range and I apply the

though and if I scroll down then the content appears and renders correctly.
I've tried the following post refresh commands but none of them solve the
problem.
(datagrid.dataProvider as ArrayCollection).refresh();
datagrid .invalidateSkinState();

datagrid .validateNow();
Here's the code where I get the date range.

Hi All
I've run into a rendering problem with the datagrid.
I have a datagrid that a user can search using a date range, furthermore the
user can also search using keywords. I do this by first looking at the date
range and applying a filter to the array of objects based on the dates. Then I
make of a copy of that arraycollection and assign the arraycollection which
binds to my datagrid to that collection.
The problem is that when the user selects a date range and I apply the filter,
the datagrid content disappears. The scrollbar on the side updates though and
if I scroll down then the content appears and renders correctly. I've tried the
following post refresh commands but none of them solve the problem.
(datagrid.dataProvider as ArrayCollection).refresh();
datagrid .invalidateSkinState();
datagrid .invalidateDisplayList();
datagrid .validateNow();
Here's the code where I get the date range.
var dateFilteredArray:Array = _transactions.source.filter(
function (item:Transaction, index:int, array:Array):Boolean
{
if(Date.parse(item.displayDate) dateRangeComponent.startDate.valueOf() ||

Re: [flexcoders] Rendering Freezes
Alex, It's intermittent, but routinely happens after the app has been open for 10-15 minutes. But, it's not EVERY time. I've tied in Monster Debugger and I can see after the freeze that updates, data and certain component lifecycle events that I'm looking at are still firing, just no visual. About half the time, I just get a snapshot frozen where the last update happened, and sometimes the screen is completely white. -Jake On Wed, Apr 4, 2012 at 4:12 PM, Alex Harui aha...@adobe.com wrote: ** Is it intermittent or can you reproduce it at will?

Re: [flexcoders] Rendering Freezes
Windows for now. I haven't been able to duplicate issue on a mac but it doesn't mean it's not there. I have not altered the renderMode so it should be running auto. CPU runs between 0 and about 8% depending on how much data is coming down the line (socket connection). Memory spikes as high as 180MB but runs consistent around 25MB in the profiler. In task manager, I usually see around 120MB. If I leave the chart open all day then there's a ton of data and I'll see it up around 180MB. But, that's equal or less than a single tab in firefox so it should be fine. The nativeWindow I'm working with still responds. I can maximize/minimize, but can't resize it. The nativeMenu, however, is dead as well as all content inside the window. As I said, I have a global error handler which traces out stuff in Monster Debugger as well as logs stuff to a file on my desktop and I don't get any info either way. I'm tracing out every data object that I get over the socket as well as every chart update event and the main content area's update event. They continue to respond. It's like everything is there, but there's a block on the app visually. Thanks for your help! -Jake On Wed, Apr 4, 2012 at 7:36 PM, Alex Harui aha...@adobe.com wrote: ** Mac and Win?

Don't know how all the skinning stuff works yet. I will put back the spark and

Re: [flexcoders] Reduce time to load httpservice result
Re: [flexcoders] Reduce time to load httpservice result
So you are using all attributes in a node? Are you sure the bottleneck is on the server side? Are you handling the data on the client as XML or as value objects? Often, the conversion to value objects takes the most time. I have created custom collections in the past that lazily convert XML to a value object so only the visible rows get converted instead of all 60K rows, and other custom collections that lazily convert attributes when there are 100’s of attributes or child nodes and only a few are used as columns. That doesn’t appear to be the case. You can still use a custom collection and paging. You could write a custom collection that uses a timer to fetch more and more rows from the server. It would grab as large a chunk as it can that has acceptable performance, then when it arrives it requests the next chunk until all records are down. Yes, if the user quickly tries a sort he will have to wait, but probably not a whole lot longer than waiting for the initial 60K rows anyway. Also, I believe there are some examples out there of using paging and server-side sorting in a DataGrid. The thing to consider is the total amount of data being transferred and what percentage of it a user typically uses. If it is small, server-side sorting might be better.

Re: [flexcoders] Store HTML Files in Device
Rich quick followup, This link: http://flexcapacitor.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/examples/webview/src/views/URLView.mxml really shows how you could read the file on an apple device. Android devices can not access the appDirectory files because they are apparently still zipped inside the .apk file. I used the following to access files copied into the appStorageDirectory on an android device: var androidUrl:String = file:// + File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath(filePath).nativePath; This was what I used on stageWebView component. Hopefully it will work directly in internal browser. Have not tried that approach yet.

Re: [flexcoders] Debug Woes - Redux
It sounds like the SWF is cached. You'll need to find out if it is.
I suggest you add a build number to your project that you can check if the
swf is cached. There are ANT scripts online that increment a build number
automatically before each build. If you can't find it online I can post an
example when I get a chance.
If it's a cached SWF then there are a few things you can do for your future
development. BTW You don't need restart your browser or Flash Builder. That
wouldn't help anyway.
Use Firefox (not your normal browser) as your browser in Flash Builder for
this test and debug the project. Check if the SWF is cached (using the
build number or changing a background color or something). If it is then go
to Tools Clear Recent History and make sure the cache option is checked
and time range is set to everything. Remember, Firefox will start caching
the swf after an hour automatically and if that happens you need to clear
the cache again. If the browser's not caching it but it's still cached then
it sounds like it's something up the line IE your server etc.
BTW Personally, I don't like when if statements don't use brackets. For
kicks add brackets to your statement:
if (something 0) {
something = 0; // put the break point here
}
If you see that you are setting the value but it doesn't stick then it may
be a rare case that has to do with double bindings and temp variables. It's
something along the lines of you assign a bindable variable to a temporary
variable and then when you try to assign a value to that temporary variable
it isn't assigned the value (or something like that). The way to get passed
this is to set the actual variable not the temp variable. In my case I had
to do something like this:
this.something = 0;
or
document['something'] = 0;
instead of
something = 0;

RE: [flexcoders] Debug Woes - Redux
Thanks for the info. I didn't know FF will automatically cache after a
period of time.
I use to use the
If (x) {
}
pretty print from my days as a PL/1 programmer. Lately, I've change
it to
If (x)
{
Do stuff
}
format. I went the first way for about 20 years and the current way for
about 15 years so I'll probably change it again in another 5 years. I
know the problem, I just can't make up my mind. g
But I will check that caching before I work on it again. I'm trying to
convince the user to let me build it as a smart phone (AIR) app and more
immediately I want to eliminate the goofy dots from an unordered list,
but that is in a different thread.

Re: [flexcoders] Debug Woes - Redux
Not sure if this is already covered, but you could set your web server to include no cache headers so all your files are automatically reloaded every time. This prevents the issue of getting an old file. Tomcat might be a bit difficult to add the headers as it only has rudimentary page serving capabilities as it is meant to be run behind either a standard Apache webserver or other webserver such as IIS that is serving up actual static pages/elements. I tend to use IE as my debug environment for the simple purpose that it launches a new window each time and when you terminate debugging it automatically closes that window. No effort to close window manually (unless you want to set location and size of window - IE remembers last position and size when launching). I use firefox for my general browser. Besides the active X version of the debug player tends to be much easier to work with then the plugin version which has a tendency to crash on occassion resulting in force closing. Sincerely Mark R.

Re: [flexcoders] scaling images flex3 vs flex4 problem - help?

Hey all - I have an old player that sort of does the Photoshop navigator /

I had this working in F3 with mx components and basically having a slider
scale a matrix.transform, the navigator getting the inverse of the transform;
it was working great. I've since dropped the mx:Canvas scale I was doing
for a spark Group (thinking it's going to migrate to an iPad app in the
future) -- and now images aren't scaling correctly. Originally if an image
was loaded in that wasn't the exact height/width, the image would be
letterboxed with the largest direction being pinned to the sides. When I
letterbox the image and try to scale the group holding it in the spark
version it doesn't work properly. When the scaling works , the image isn't
letterboxed and so the navigator and zoomed in image don't appear the same.

PROBLEM:
Strange URLLoader.load() behavior: sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't.
Can't step through airglobal.swc to see what's wrong.
DETAILS:
I am using the latest SDK in several versions of an AIR project. The core
code is identical across versions of the project. Most changes are just in
the presentation of the data.
I am a Cairngorm nut and I have extended it to suit my coding style. I have
a master AbstractCommand that addresses everything including listener
add/remove, SQLite management, remote services, and File reading/writing. I
just override certain functions as needed.
In this project I read RSS beginning with the following:
override public function execute(event:CairngormEvent):void
{
trace(LoadFeedCommand.execute() called);
var rsso:RSSObject = LoadFeedEvent(event).feedObject;
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(rsso.url);
loader = new URLLoader();
addListeners(loader);
try
{
loader.load(urlRequest);
trace(loader.load() called);
}
catch(error:Error)
{
trace(problem with loader.load());
}
tModelLocator.displayModel.selectedRSSObject = rsso;
}
In some of the projects URLLoader.load() works as expected. In others with
IDENTICAL code it does not. URLLoader.load() fails into nothingness. The
catch clause does not throw an Error.
I have added the following listneres in overrided .addListeners() and nothing
gets called!
override public function addListeners(target:Object):void
{
target.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete, false, 0, true);
target.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS, onHTTPStatus,
false,0, true);
target.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError, false, 0, true);
target.addEventListener(Event.OPEN, onOpen, false, 0, true);
target.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress, false, 0, true);
target.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, onSecurityError,
false, 0, true);
}
Any insight on this would be wonderful.

feedback sometimes. Yet wit URLLoader I always got something whether complete

Subject: [flexcoders] Bindings on visual components being forgotten?
(Flex 3 - 4.6)
Seeing a strange, rare, issue after updating an app to 4.6. I can't seem
to reproduce it in a dev environment, so I'll list out my issue and setup
to see if it sounds familiar to anyone.
The problem:
Visual components seem to occasionally forget the objects they're bound
to. For instance, I have something like this:
s:DropDownList
id=cmbMonth
dataProvider={model.months}
selectedItem=@{model.selectedMonth}
/
s:Label text={model.selectedMonth} /
When the problem occurs, the selectedMonth in the label component is
correct, say, February. But the DropDownList will display a blank. Even
though the DropDownList contains all the months, meaning models.months is
bound correctly.
I tried adding:
requireSelection=true
The addition changed the behavior. No more blanks! But now, instead of
blanks, selectedMonth is showing something random like May.
Background:
App has been in production in various versions of Flex 3 for two years
without ever seeing this. Upgrading to Flex 4 and swapping out some Halo
components with equivalent Spark ones, users, myself included, began
noticing this phenomenon. I cannot seem to reproduce it in a reliable
fashion. But I've gotten some feedback based on some attempted fixes
pushed out to users.
Troubleshooting so far:
Since it normally works, there's no super-obvious things missing, like an
uninitialized pointer, missing Bindable tag, accidental = assignment
instead of == comparison, etc.
Also, we know the variable references are pointing to the correct place.
model.selectedMonth is showing up fine for a label just underneath the
dropdown. model.months is being referenced just fine by the dropdown
itself. It's just the display of model.selectedMonth in the dropdown.
Upon saving, the model.month property correctly propagates itself to the
DB, even when the dropdown is displaying the wrong value. Switching
between one-way and two-way bindings don't seem to make a difference
either. I noted above that I tried forcing requireSelection=true,
which does prevent the DropDownList from being blanked-out, but doesn't
force it to stay on the correct value.
I thought it might be related to just the DropDownList component, but the
problem is also occurring on s:TextInput's text property. Seems like
when it happens with the TextInput component (showing a blank value),
it's doing so for all the TextInput components. I'm not so sure if it's
happening for all DropDownList elements, though.
App setup:
I have an mx:ViewStack attached to hide/show effects with two containers
inside (loggedOff/loggedOn), and a TabNavigator within
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Bindings on visual components being forgotten? (Flex 3 - 4.6)
I see duplicate dataprovider entries which might confuse which selectedIndex to
use.
They key is to make sure binding events are getting dispatched. You might want
to add a logging facility to track changes and events and some other properties.

It's been happening with all configurations, but intermittently. I've had 0
success reproducing it at will, even though myself and multiple users have come
across it on non-dev environments.
My troubleshooting has mostly been releasing things I think *might* have an
impact, then asking users to send screen caps if they come across the issue
again. It seems to be occurring regularly, although a hundred runs of the code
below haven't shown it on my dev box. So I can't tell if there are any console
messages at runtime. There are no compile-time warnings, and there weren't any
of these issues when compiling with Flex 3 (swapping Spark components for Halo).
Below is an 80-line, 4-file example I've been trying to use to attempt to
reproduce the problem. I have not been successful reproducing it, but the
structure and components used below closely resembled the full app. Only thing
missing is that the full app has a set of Mate controllers and a bunch of AMF
remote calls. Nothing those touch seem to be affected though.
Since this problem is so hard to reproduce, I don't expect a resolution here.
Just seeing if I'm doing something glaringly wrong or if the problems sound
familiar to other developers.

ViewStack. So after the components are hidden and come back. I
remembered back to the Flex 2 ViewStack issue where bindings didn't
refresh, and added the old workaround to my code:
change=executeBindings(true)
This didn't fix it. Anything else I can look at or try? Anyone else
experience this before? Any chance it's related to the framework instead
of my code?

DB, even when the dropdown is displaying the wrong value. Switching
between one-way and two-way bindings don't seem to make a difference
either. I noted above that I tried forcing requireSelection=true, which
does prevent the DropDownList from being blanked-out, but doesn't force it
to stay on the correct value.
I thought it might be related to just the DropDownList component, but the
problem is also occurring on s:TextInput's text property. Seems like when
it happens with the TextInput component (showing a blank value), it's doing
so for all the TextInput components. I'm not so sure if it's happening for
all DropDownList elements, though.
App setup:
I have an mx:ViewStack attached to hide/show effects with two containers
inside (loggedOff/loggedOn), and a TabNavigator within that. I think the
problems are only occurring after switching between states for the
ViewStack. So after the components are hidden and come back. I remembered
back to the Flex 2 ViewStack issue where bindings didn't refresh, and added
the old workaround to my code:
change=executeBindings(true)
This didn't fix it. Anything else I can look at or try? Anyone else
experience this before? Any chance it's related to the framework instead
of my code?

Have you tried using binding util?

Subject: [flexcoders] Bindings on visual components being forgotten? (Flex 3
- 4.6)
Seeing a strange, rare, issue after updating an app to 4.6. I can't seem to
reproduce it in a dev environment, so I'll list out my issue and setup to see
if it sounds familiar to anyone.
The problem:
Visual components seem to occasionally forget the objects they're bound to.
For instance, I have something like this:
s:DropDownList
id=cmbMonth
dataProvider={model.months}
selectedItem=@{model.selectedMonth}
/
s:Label text={model.selectedMonth} /
When the problem occurs, the selectedMonth in the label component is
correct, say, February. But the DropDownList will display a blank. Even
though the DropDownList contains all the months, meaning models.months is
bound correctly.
I tried adding:
requireSelection=true
The addition changed the behavior. No more blanks! But now, instead of
blanks, selectedMonth is showing something random like May.
Background:
App has been in production in various versions of Flex 3 for two years
without ever seeing this. Upgrading to Flex 4 and swapping out some Halo
components with equivalent Spark ones, users, myself included, began noticing
this phenomenon. I cannot seem to reproduce it in a reliable fashion. But
I've gotten some feedback based on some attempted fixes pushed out to users.
Troubleshooting so far:
Since it normally works, there's no super-obvious things missing, like an
uninitialized pointer, missing Bindable tag, accidental = assignment
instead of == comparison, etc.
Also, we know the variable references are pointing to the correct place.
model.selectedMonth is showing up fine for a label just underneath the
dropdown. model.months is being referenced just fine by the dropdown itself.
It's just the display of model.selectedMonth in the dropdown. Upon saving,
the model.month property correctly propagates itself to the DB, even when the
dropdown is displaying the wrong value. Switching between one-way and
two-way bindings don't seem to make a difference either. I noted above that
I tried forcing requireSelection=true, which does prevent the DropDownList
from being blanked-out, but doesn't force it to stay on the correct value.
