flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: [flexcoders] Custom Datagrid 
Sorting


Hey 
guys,

Right, Ive a situation where 
I need to sort a particular datagrid column as a date, 
however the value of the cell is actually a string (eg 
7th Aug 2005).
Ive got this all working, 
however Im trying to package it up as a class so I can reuse it 100 times 
through the various datagrids Ive got. My problem is 
Im calling:

dg.dataProvider.sortItems(dateFieldCompare, ((sortOrder == 1)? 0: Array.DESCENDING));

Where dg is my 
datagrid (passed through via the class 
constructor). The issue Im having is that I cannot access 
any variables from the dateFieldCompare function. My 
constructor header is as follows:

public function DateSortUtil(myDg:mx.controls.DataGrid,columnIndex:Number,field:String) 
{

Ideally I want field to be 
accessible to the dateFieldCompare function so I know 
what field to compare. The following is the header from dateFieldCompare:

private function dateFieldCompare(item1:Object, item2:Object, bit:Number):Number

To get it working at the 
moment Im having to compare item1.date and item2.date 
. However date wont always be the name of the fields I want to 
compare, and item1[field] isnt going to 
work.

Any 
ideas?

Cheers, 
Steve

You can copy paste the degree sign in MXML and it should 
show correctly.

[flexcoders] Re: using and detecting menubar selection

2005-08-25 Thread Greg Morphis

Anyone? 
Is this what you do? Just have a massive if condition or switch case? 

On 8/24/05, Greg Morphis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Maybe I'm missing something but how do YOU interact with the

 I suppose I could add an id and pass that to an function like..

 event.menuItem.attributes.id;

 But that would take a huge switch case or a bunch of if statements.
 if(id == 'nor_tlc_pos') {}
 elseif (id == 'not_tlc_qdn') {}
 ...
 So I guess my question is, how do YOU handle working with menus?

[flexcoders] Re: Invalidating flashproxy JSESSIONID value.

2005-08-25 Thread colinblackmore

Ultimately, I was able to implement the functionality I required by
avoiding using the flashproxy.  By circumventing it, I removed the
requirement to try and remove the cookie for the session held by the
flashproxy and only needed to deal with the browser session variable.

The only outstanding issue is detecting within the flex client when
the users session times out on the server in order to place them back
in the login screen.

Any thoughts...?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Invalidating flashproxy JSESSIONID value.

2005-08-25 Thread Carson Hager

There is nothing in the j2ee spec that provides a way to ask the
container if the session is still valid and there's also not a standard
http response code that you could map a custom response to.  I assume
that you do want the server side timeout?  You can set that timeout to
infinite but there are obvious implications there as well with server
resources.  Other than that, you could implement a ping web service
that you invoke either either periodically or before all calls to other
web services.  If that ping call doesn't return the expected result and
sends you back your form auth page instead, you could then redirect the
user to login.

RE: [flexcoders] Special Chars. in AS

2005-08-25 Thread Gordon Smith

Title: Special Chars. in AS










In MXML, Flex recognizes the following XML escape sequences
for named characters:



    lt; for 

    gt; for 

    amp; for 

    quot; for 

    apos for '



I don't think there is any way to declare others, but you
can always specify any Unicode character by its numeric code, in either decimal
or hex. For example, either



    #13;



or



    #x0D;



will give you the character with code 13.



I don't happen to know the code for a degree symbol in
Unicode.



Inside an ActionScript string literal, the escape sequence would
be



    \u0D

I ran into this as well. Looking at the SOAP encoded message, it
appeared to me that flex wasn't making clean SOAP (pun definitely intended).









When we switched over to using the CFC's RemoteObject instead of the
WebService, things started working again. Wasn't too hard of a switch, and I'll
take the NetConnectionDebugger over paging through SOAP any day. (still wish
webservice serializing worked better...)











See my Flex serializer vs CF7 deserializer post thread or
the Collections between Flex and Web services thread for some
possible workarounds that didn't work for me...

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Easiest way to connect to mysql?

2005-08-25 Thread Tariq Ahmed

Well from a Coldfusion perspective... it's extremely easy.

In the Coldfusion administrator you set up a Datasource to your mySQL
Database. CF comes with a mySQL driver out of the box, all you do is
give it a name (eg mySQLDS), server, port, username, pw, etc...

then in CF you make a file called a CFC (Coldfusion Component), which is
just a text file and looks something like this in a very basic sense:

mycomponent.cfc
cfcomponent
cffunction name=getData returnType=query access=remote
cfquery name=myQuery datasource=mySQLDS
SELECT * from whatever
/cfquery
cfreturn myQuery
/cffunction
/cfcomponent

Then in Flex...
mx:RemoteObject ... source=mycomponent
mx:Method name=getData . /
/mx:RemoteObject

And that cfc can also be a webservice as the same time just by basically
switching mx:RemoteObject to mx:WebService.

From a PHP perspective, this article may help

If you have never written cfc's, here are a few links that will help

Also you might want to check out www.easycfm.com. There are tons of

In the 
following example. If I am in the Comp1 and I click on an item on the left

saved?

  You mean, when another view(form) inside an Accordion is 
  selected youwant to save the values in previously selected 
  view(form)?You can subscribe to Accordion's change event and do the 
  appropriate.Event object contains a propert(prevValue) which is zero-based

[flexcoders] creationComplete on ViewStack children bug?

I've got a typical setup where i set certain properties of controls
within a child of a view stack. Inside the child i have the usual
creationComplete=hlper.myfunc()

Only the myFunc doesn't even know its children within, meaning if i did

view.myButton.enable = false;

the view.myButton would return undefined.

Yet if i put creationPolicy=all on the actual viewstack itself, the
above code example would return a valid button for view.myButton

So in saying this, does this mean that ViewStack creates the base
containers for all of its children, but all sub-containers there
within, aren't created until that child recieves index selection,
meaning if child 2 is clicked, now create its actual internals

To me, the creationComplete event *should* fire once all of its
children objects are actually created, meaning your entire container
has come back completed, now carry out tasks

I also tried putting creationPolicy=all on the child container
itself, but still nothing. It has to be done via the ViewStack in
order for me to manipulate controls within a child?

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm Development Cycle

Glue is a term i've picked up from an old job, basically its a title
that does bitsa bit-o-serverside, bit-o-clientside, bit-o-db side
(rare).
This could be a long reply, so get comfortable.

I've found in FLEX, a lot of the mundane tasks are visuals, meaning
hmm does this color work, yes, cool or I need to come up with a
structure here that is more fluid then traditional datagrid
insert/update/delete aspects.

Take for example this: http://www.mossyblog.com/archives/519.cfm

Inside my Sneak peak, I basically have a screen comprising of:
1x FilterPod (it can be interchangeable, in that if there is 1 tier, its a simple list, but if its many its a tree).
1x Calendar Pod
1x Inbox View
1x Custom AppWindow/AppPanel (more on that later)
1x Custom Initialize Window
1x Popup Wizard style window

etc..

Now In this example It was a solo thing, but if i were to hand this
concept again to fellow team members, i would of given the UI guy/gal
enough work to be able to carry on independent of the server-side
person.

Meaning:

Task 1: build a splash screen, that takes an array of text that shows
whats being loaded. I also want it to feed of a shared property (ie
ModelLocator) to keep track of state, in that if state changes, put in
some in line logic that updates visuals.

Task 2: build a Calendar Pod, that mimics Windows O/S Calendar within
taskbar (ie dbl click on your windows time - for those who have
windows). So when a user updates the year or month, the calendar
control updates and same goes for calendar itself). On top of that, I
want you to make sure the Calendar pod dispatches an event saying
Somethings changed (ie dispatchEvent onDateChange() ) I also want you
to provide a way to set selectedDate:Date for this pod, which also
updates accordingly.

The list could go on..

Then for the serverside, i'd inform them that i need coldfusion to be
work as if the UI is either HTML or FLASH or SOAP, in that don't give
two hoots about how it comes together visually, just stipulate what you
need in terms of arguments to a various services within and i'll make
sure the uis adhere to that.

Now the glue guy/gal is the person that knows how to slot everything
together, meaning I want to fire xyz commands in sequence to show the
initialization screen, in that i want to :

- test to see if the gateway is still there
- initialize security (ie ask cfmx singelton style request, is security model instantiated, if not do so )
- perform security handshake and wait for a result (ie log me in via my ActiveDirectory and see if have access to this flex app)
- grab my InboxFilter dataprovider (ie ask serverside for my inbox filters saved remotely)
- once i have my inbox filters, select my default and get all invoices pertaining to that filter, selectedDate and my profile
- now show the actual application if all passes ok.

Which I then switch from splashscreen child to mainchild,

Now in mainchild i basically layout all the UI ingredients I asked my
UI guy/gal to create in an orderly way. I then setup various
addlisteners, bindings etc to the api calls (ie if calenderpod updates
date, update my Inboxfilter to reflect that date change etc)

Basically there are 4 tiers you can approach this with:

- Gluer / Architect
- UI

- Serverside
- DBA

On small apps this is a no brainer, but on much larger apps the
segregation can be helpful but also can be a bottle neck if not
carefully orchestrated. So that's why specification and planning is a
crucial component of the gluer concept, meaning if the glue cannot
perform his/her duties (ie got hit by bus? ) then someone else can
easily step into that role and fullfill it. So that's why i have things
like my Software-O-Matic style task listings, whereby I after
specifications been written and signed off on, I then begin to itemize
various tasks of what needs to be done.

Each time someone performs the task, the update the list (ie its
basically a 100% complete against version x.x.x of that component).

If you're in a POC stage that relies more on visuals then server side,
you can utilise the first two (Architect / UI) and do away with the
bottom two for now. Then once the POC is nearly there or very close to
it, come back write down specification changes / enhancement requests
etc and begin an actual development phase of the project.

This kind of approach helped me anyway, either in a team or solo. If
solo, I swap hats back and forth, and i approach an application like
the above, whereby I start out building a lot of the custom visuals,
then at the same time see how the fit into an overall screen concept.
Once i have that squared away, I stop work, compare notes against spec
and begin to make sure server-side adheres to the visuals or needs a
further look. I then close down my flex app, and build cfmx (writing
mach-ii unit testers and what not for it). Then once the CFMX side of
things is running smoothly, i look at building a flexGateway.cfc or
flexFacade.cfc (whatever holds your

Cool!

Didn't know Andrew had a duplicate owner hehe  (ie two flexers for flexdaddy?) 

I've gone down the path of wrapping try/catch statements inside my
flexGateway/flexFacade.cfc that dump the error to session scope, and
rethrow it.

Then inside my a unittest/dump.cfm i simply dump out session scope
with the error.

Its cumbersome but helps.

RE: [flexcoders] CFC debugging netConnectionDebugger











Yep, just put the request scoped vars in an Application.cfm and
it will work fine.

RE: [flexcoders] CFC debugging netConnectionDebugger











and yeah, you could of course define the variables in
the errorTrapping tag itself, I would wouldnt recommend putting the
request vars in the cfc itself, as your create more cfcs etc that use
the errorTrapping tag it would get a little tedious maintaining the settings in
each cfc.

[flexcoders] Problems with xmlns=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/flex-config in flex-config

2005-08-25 Thread Eric Raymond

A development  tool (eclipse) has started to complain about usage of
xmlns in the flex config files.

The problem seems to be that the files these specifications refer to
are not present.

For example, flex-config.xml has
flex-config xmlns=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/flex-config;

But the URL it is pointing to is not valid.

If I change this to 

flex-config

then MyEclipse is happy, but then the flex server fails to start properly!

Is there a work around for this?

RE: [flexcoders] CFC debugging netConnectionDebugger

Andrew was kind enough to grant me a post. Ohit has to be said...

Now who's your daddy?

:D

Can't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to implement the
cf_errorTrapping tag at a façade level (yet to do this myself). It dumps out
the entire cftagcontext, thus any errors in deeply nested cfc's (the line
number, file name  path etc) will come through.

Cool!

Didn't know Andrew had a duplicate owner hehe  (ie two flexers for
flexdaddy?) 

I've gone down the path of wrapping try/catch statements inside my
flexGateway/flexFacade.cfc that dump the error to session scope, and
rethrow it.

Then inside my a unittest/dump.cfm i simply dump out session scope
with the error.

Its cumbersome but helps.

RE: [flexcoders] Cairngorm Development Cycle

2005-08-25 Thread Dimitrios Gianninas






Yes, thanks for the 
insight.

I pretty much do the same thing 
you do for POC purpose. I guess your UI guy is not typically responsible for 
wiring up the UI to communicate with the server-side, where in our case he/she 
is. After your definition, I do consider myself somewhat of a glue-guy, but as 
quite as you suggest... something to think about. Thanks for 
sharing.

Love the app as well

Development Cycle
Glue is a term i've picked up from an old job, basically its a title 
that does "bitsa" bit-o-serverside, bit-o-clientside, bit-o-db side 
(rare).This could be a long reply, so get comfortable.I've found 
in FLEX, a lot of the mundane tasks are visuals, meaning "hmm does this color 
work, yes, cool" or "I need to come up with a structure here that is more fluid 
then traditional datagrid insert/update/delete aspects".Take for example 
this: http://www.mossyblog.com/archives/519.cfmInside 
my "Sneak peak", I basically have a screen comprising of:1x FilterPod (it 
can be interchangeable, in that if there is 1 tier, its a simple list, but if 
its many its a tree).1x Calendar Pod1x Inbox View1x Custom 
AppWindow/AppPanel (more on that later)1x Custom Initialize Window1x 
Popup Wizard style window etc..Now In this example It was a solo 
thing, but if i were to hand this concept again to fellow team members, i would 
of given the UI guy/gal enough work to be able to carry on independent of the 
server-side person.Meaning:Task 1: build a splash screen, that 
takes an array of text that shows whats being loaded. I also want it to feed of 
a shared property (ie ModelLocator) to keep track of state, in that if state 
changes, put in some in line logic that updates visuals.Task 2: build a 
Calendar Pod, that mimics Windows O/S "Calendar" within taskbar (ie dbl click on 
your windows time - for those who have windows). So when a user updates the year 
or month, the calendar control updates and same goes for calendar itself). On 
top of that, I want you to make sure the Calendar pod dispatches an event saying 
"Somethings changed" (ie dispatchEvent onDateChange() ) I also want you to 
provide a way to set selectedDate:Date for this pod, which also updates 
accordingly.The list could go on..Then for the serverside, i'd 
inform them that i need coldfusion to be work as if the UI is either HTML or 
FLASH or SOAP, in that don't give two hoots about how it comes together 
visually, just stipulate what you need in terms of arguments to a various 
services within and i'll make sure the uis adhere to that.Now the "glue" 
guy/gal is the person that knows how to slot everything together, meaning "I 
want to fire xyz commands in sequence to show the initialization screen, in that 
i want to :- test to see if the gateway is still there- initialize 
security (ie ask cfmx singelton style request, is security model instantiated, 
if not do so )- perform security handshake and wait for a result (ie log me 
in via my ActiveDirectory and see if have access to this flex app)- grab my 
InboxFilter dataprovider (ie ask serverside for my inbox filters saved 
remotely)- once i have my inbox filters, select my default and get all 
invoices pertaining to that filter, selectedDate and my profile- now show 
the actual application if all passes ok.Which I then switch from 
splashscreen child to mainchild, Now in mainchild i basically layout all 
the UI ingredients I asked my UI guy/gal to create in an orderly way. I then 
setup various addlisteners, bindings etc to the api calls (ie if calenderpod 
updates date, update my Inboxfilter to reflect that date change 
etc)Basically there are 4 "tiers" you can approach this with:- 
Gluer / Architect- UI- Serverside- DBAOn small apps this 
is a no brainer, but on much larger apps the segregation can be helpful but also 
can be a bottle neck if not carefully orchestrated. So that's why specification 
and planning is a crucial component of the "gluer" concept, meaning if the 
"glue" cannot perform his/her duties (ie got hit by bus? ) then someone else can 
easily step into that role and fullfill it. So that's why i have things like my 
"Software-O-Matic" style task listings, whereby I after specifications been 
written and signed off on, I then begin to itemize various tasks of what needs 
to be done. Each time someone performs the task, the update the list (ie 
its basically a 100% complete against version x.x.x of that 
component).If you're in a POC stage that relies more on visuals then 
server side, you can utilise the first two (Architect / UI) and do away with the 
bottom two for now. Then once the POC is nearly there or very close to it, come 
back write down specification changes / enhancement requests etc and begin an

Title: RE: [flexcoders] creationComplete on ViewStack children *bug?*








Scott-


 So in saying this, does this mean that ViewStack creates the base

 containers for all of its children, but all sub-containers there

 within, aren't created until that child recieves index selection,

 meaning if child 2 is clicked, now create its actual internals


Right, following is from docs:


A creationPolicy of auto means that the container is to delay creating some or all descendants until they are needed, a process which is known as deferred instantiation. This policy produces the best startup time because fewer UIObjects are created initially. However, this introduces navigation delays when a user navigates to other parts of the application for the first time. Navigator containers such as Accordion, TabNavigator, and ViewStack implement the auto policy by creating all their children immediately, but wait to create the deeper descendants of a child until it becomes the selected child of the navigator container.

That means, to me, it is there by design.


You can call myFunc from creationComplete of each children or show/hide event of ViewStack.

Subject: [flexcoders] creationComplete on ViewStack children *bug?*


I've got a typical setup where i set certain properties of controls

within a child of a view stack. Inside the child i have the usual

creationComplete=hlper.myfunc()


Only the myFunc doesn't even know its children within, meaning if i did


view.myButton.enable = false;


the view.myButton would return undefined.


Yet if i put creationPolicy=all on the actual viewstack itself, the

above code example would return a valid button for view.myButton


So in saying this, does this mean that ViewStack creates the base

containers for all of its children, but all sub-containers there

within, aren't created until that child recieves index selection,

meaning if child 2 is clicked, now create its actual internals


To me, the creationComplete event *should* fire once all of its

children objects are actually created, meaning your entire container

has come back completed, now carry out tasks


I also tried putting creationPolicy=all on the child container

itself, but still nothing. It has to be done via the ViewStack in

order for me to manipulate controls within a child?
