ComboBox databinding

2005-03-15 Thread Tom Fitzpatrick
I'm trying to create an application based on the LoanCalculator example in 
the Webster/McLeod book.

Everything's working fine for simple bindings between text inputs on a form 
and the value object. Where I'm having trouble creating a databinding 
between a comboBox in the form and the value object. When the user selects 
an item in the comboBox it should be stored as a string in the value object.

What's the way to accomplish this? All the value object variables are 
public, as in the book example.

Specifically, what would the mx:Binding/ statement look like? A simple 
example would be even better.

Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] Data Grid entry, numerical operations with bigde cimals

2005-03-15 Thread Abdul Qabiz



Hi Valy,

Its the same issue, you raised weeks 
back

There is no BigDecimal classFlex or Flash 
ActionScript as of now. Gordon also gave some background on this issue in his 
reply, he also posted a link ofa _javascript_ library for the same. If 
somebody can portthis libraryto ActionScript2it would be 
useful for many.

Here is the link: http://stz-ida.de/html/oss/js_bigdecimal.html.en,

It would take sometime to port it to AS2 but its 
worth doing, a good community work. I started porting the same to AS2  I 
amable to port only one part(one class) to AS2 since I am busy with work 
here not sure when can I complete it.

If anyoneinterested to do that, I canshare the 
work I have doneso far...

As a workaround for now, I can suggest you that you use 
that _javascript_ library in your app. Do calculation in _javascript_ using that 
library and pass value back to Flex app...Yeah, its a dirty way but its a 
workaround until we have a ActionScript version

PMTo: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: [flexcoders] Data 
Grid entry, numerical operations with bigdecimals

Hello,

I have a data entry grid and a column should be numeric ( BigDecimal in 
java ). To get the correct representation of the number I transmit the number to 
flex as String, to avoid the scientific representation of the number. My problem 
is that in the editable grid, the user can change the numeric column(s) value 
and those columnsparticipate insometotal calculations, 
percentages displayedunderneath the grid...

Problem: How should I preform the calculation without loosing the 
precision? For example, 

Java Bigdecimal value:654564564645645647872 

Flex: 6.54564564645646e+20
How can I avoid loosing the last decimals? in this case 
47872? 
Is there any way I can do that? I'll need to perform the 
calculation real time on the client side... I am open forsuggestions... 
How have you treated situations like this?. 
Thanks for your help,
Valy

- is using the Zinc projector to wrap the SWF locally
by getting a local copy of the SWF generated from a Flex server (way I've

The first uses a Flex server, upon the user running
the EXE.











The second uses a Flex server to get a local copyof
the SWF that you then compile into a Zinc exe, making it self-contained and
have no need of a Flex server.

Re: Problem with WebService using HTTPS protocol

2005-03-15 Thread extensive_systems

Thanks, I posted my own answer to question (1) previously, and for
question (2) - asking for example code - well, I'm really only
concerned with web service (both unnamed and named) over HTTPS.

Actually, I've got that (WS over HTTPS) working to the point where the
service loads the WSDL and initializes; the actual operation RPC times
out however, so I'm going to talk to the vendor to determine if the
problem is perhaps my definition and call in Flex or their web
service's behaviour.

I do believe that MM needs to supply (in their documentation or by
some other means) a really good, complete, real-world example of using
both an unnamed and a named web service over HTPPS.

Coding it in Flash isn't hard... it's installing the mofo that I don't know 
how to do. The docs say you can use an SWC, but where said SWC goes, is 
beyond me. I managed to throw one in here:

C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flex Builder 
1.5\Configuration\Objects\MXML\WEB-INF\flex\frameworks

ANd it shows up as a no package tab when you reboot FlexBuilder, but has 
no size when dragged to a form (even though width and height default to

Anyway, that's the key part that's missing I think. DevNet article anyone?

Hi -

Your example works fine, but when I try to achieve a similar binding using 
a value object defined as an external class, I get a type mismatch error:

Type mismatch in assignment statement: found Object where String is
required.

Here are some more details of my test setup.

I have a value object defined as a class:

class EmployeeOptions
{
public var firstname:String;
public var lastname:String;
public var country:String;
}

In a component called Employee, I've instantiated the class as:

EmployeeOptions id=vo/

I'm trying to bind it from text fields and the comboBox this way:

mx:Binding source=firstName.text destination=vo.firstname /
mx:Binding source=lastName.text destination=vo.lastname /
mx:Binding source=countries.value destination=vo.country/

To return values to my component, I've created a delegate called 
EmployeeDelegate. This is instantiated in the component as:

EmployeeDelegate id=delegate/

I'm trying to call methods in the delegate to populate the component with 
constructions such as:

mx:Label id=Name 
text={delegate.getEmployeeName(vo.firstname,vo.lastname)}/

This setup works just fine with the text fields, but the comboBox gives me 
the type mismatch error when I use the above bindings.

Help!

- Tom

RE: [flexcoders] dataProvider in custom component

Title: dataProvider in custom component



mx:Model id="myDataModel" source="test.xml"/ 
myComp 
dataProvider="myDataModel.customer"/ 


This is one way, other way you can mx:Modal / in 
your component. That way, you will only pass xml path to the 
component...

myComp source="test.xml" /

you can also allow users to set dataProvider, which sets 
the appropriate datastructure for your component...

myCom dataProvider="[10, 20, 30, 30,]" 
/


If you want to change the data source on runtime, then you 
should use mx:HTTPService / tag to load data rather than mx:Modal 
/ tag...

If you tell use more about how you want to achieve, we can 
further discuss...

RE: [flexcoders] Still Need Example of Custom Component Built in Flash

2005-03-15 Thread Matt Horn
There's an 80 page document that shows:
- how to build simple components in Flash for use in Flex; 
- instructions on how to compile components into SWCs; 
- where to put SWCs for use in your Flex environment;
- and Much Much More! :)

This document was removed from the Flex 1.0 DevApps book and put up as a
separate document on the Macr website because it details a workflow that
we don't really want to encourage. The process for building and skinning
components made in Flash for use in Flex applications should be
streamlined (again!) for 2.0.
 
Link:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/documentation/en/flex/15/flex_compone
nts_themes.pdf
 
Also, read the last chapter of the 1.5 DevApps book which provides info
on using the components document for Flex 1.5.

Hope this helps,

Re: [flexcoders] Still Need Example of Custom Component Built in Flash

2005-03-15 Thread Spike
Just re-read the question and realized it was asking about creating 
stuff in Flash rather than specifically ActionScript.

I think Jesse's right and if you're generating .swc files you'll need to 
put them in either /WEB-INF/flex/frameworks or 
/WEB-INF/flex/user_classes. I think the recommendation is to use the 
second of those.

As for creating the .swc itself, you should probably go take a look at 
the following area in the ActionScript documentation:
