[flexcoders] Flex 1.5 DataGrid with checkBox?

2006-05-25 Thread Dan



Hello all,

I am trying to build a datagrid with the first column as checkboxes. 
and the header of the column serve as select all function. I use 

cellRenderer=mx.controls.CheckBox

in the cellrenderer. and it really display the checkbox. However, after 
searching through the help, I am not quite sure how can i update 
the select properties according to the dataprovider? How can i refer 
these checkboxes? I have try to build my own renderer, and can 
successfully get the click event. Is that it is impossible for a 
direct binding of a field in the dataprovider to the select state?

Thanks so much for any advance.

Dan

[flexcoders] troubleshooting FDS gateways

2006-05-25 Thread Barry Beattie



I'm trying to get FDS to connect to a CF gateway and getting nowhere

[MessagingError message=Unknown destination 'ColdFusionGateway'.]
 at mx.messaging.config::ServerConfig$/getChannelSet()
 at mx.messaging::MessageAgent/mx.messaging:MessageAgent::initChannelSet()
 at mx.messaging::MessageAgent/mx.messaging:MessageAgent::internalSend()
 at mx.messaging::Consumer/subscribe()
 at Flex2CF/initApp()

it's as if the Flex gateway can't see the CF gateway.

comparing flex-enterprise-services.xml and flex-message-service.xml
settings with others shows up nothing out of the ordinary.

is there something I can do (on the comand line perhaps) to debug
this? throwing the simpliest of mxml at it only gives me a big fat
error

thanx

[flexcoders] Re: flex2b3 - adding a button to a textinput

Not sure if i've explained myself clearly, but here's an example in 
both flex1.5 and 2.
The flex 1.5 version does exactly what i want.

myTextInput.mxml - flex 1.5

  oObj.width = 20;
  oObj.borderThickness = 0;
  oObj.cornerRadius = 0;

  createClassObject(mx.controls.Button, btn1, 19, 
oObj);

 }

testApp.mxml

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

Re: [flexcoders] [FLEX2:B3] Let me know that my application's backgroundColor is not white, why not?

2006-05-25 Thread Michael Schmalle



Hi Bryan,

If I hear your question right, you need to take a look at;

borderAlpha =0.4of the Panel, or set the Panel's backgroundColor to something differnet. Right now it is pretty transparent so you are loosing the paenl with regaurds to the background of the Application.

I tried to apply style as you can see above.

But it was working.

How can I do it?

I tried another way below.

mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml

It looks well, butthe nested panel in application was 
not showing me that I want to.

I attached two screen shot.

Help me that I can do it.

Re: [flexcoders] Fw: [BETA3] I found how can remove the selected item of mx.controls.Tree.

2006-05-25 Thread Michael Schmalle



 My understanding was that the XMLListCollection methods would
handle the needed events, but apparently not.

Well, it should, and maybe this just isn't completly worked out yet in
the Tree class. When you do anything to a collection be it XML or
Objects, it will produce a COLLECTION_CHANGE event that has the
CollectionEventKind type that you then use to figure out what happened.


I know the Tree is pipped into this when the dataProvider is set. Must be a bug or something that is not completly wired.

Peace, Mike

, I found another way

Re: [flexcoders] Re: flex2b3 - adding a button to a textinput

2006-05-25 Thread Michael Schmalle



Hi,

Off the top of my head;

set the height property of the Button. I don't think people realize
that it's the actual containers that set the size of the controls. So
your Button has measured itself but, it needs to be sized on both
directions.

Layout does something like;

myButton.setActualSize(myButton.measuredWIdth, myButton.measuredHeight);

Maybe I answered my own question. It seems that in my classpath defined

that before.

Is this right Adobe? Seems like it.

[flexcoders] Re: FB2 :: Flex Library Project :: Fastest way to rebuild an SWC

No,

It did not rebuild the SWC, I commented out a trace() in the class file
and the trace still traces in the other project(using the cached SWC
from the Flex Library Project).

So, still need some enlightenment here.

Re: [flexcoders] anyone knows how to work the trace window in beta3

2006-05-25 Thread Michael Schmalle



Hi,

1) Are you using the debugger?

2) If you are tracing something like.. trace(myVar)

Sometimes the myVar is null and will not show. So it is actully tracing but, there is nothing to trace.

For situations like this, try;

trace(myVar, myVar); 

then you will definatly know if the trace isn't working.

But, the trace() function does work in debug mode.

[flexcoders] Re: why states doesn't change in flex2 beta3?

2006-05-25 Thread Geoffrey Williams



Just a syntax change from B2 to B3. 'target' is still a valid 
attribute, but it is used for something else.

[flexcoders] Re: FB2 :: Flex Library Project :: Fastest way to rebuild an SWC

Are the projects linked to each other? 

Properties  Project References

And you're using 'Build Automatically'?

Those two might make the issue go away automagically. Otherwise try 
doing a Clean on all projects.

I am not really fussing

XML.appendChild() 

XML.insertChildAfter() 

XML.insertChildBefore() 

XML.prependChild()

but no 
XML.removeChild?

delete is a completely 
different style syntax.

I don't know whether it

operator to remove a dynamic property of an Object.

If

so clean and logical.
I

No

Yes

 Clean
This worked but, I wanted to see if it was automagicaly.

Well, it seemed that it was the project links. Now I can edit in the
source, it builds, then in my component test app, the new traces show
up. 

Thanks Geoff!

[flexcoders] AJAX versus Flex

2006-05-25 Thread jwc_wensan



To all:

Got this email today, http://ajax.sys-con.com/ and it got me to
thinking.

I may get blasted for this, but here goes . . . just my .0199 cents.

Let me first say I believe 100% that the Flex platform is a 
better mousetrap. I am currently developing applications with 
Flex. I prefer Flex.

However, you can not open a software magazine, newsletter, journal, 
article, etc. that doesn't reference something about AJAX. It's 
everywhere. Adobe's Flex gets an honorable mention.

I have been in the software business for over 27 years. I have seen 
many companies come and go that had a better mousetrap. I also 
realize that most end users do not care if a desktop app is 
developed with Visual C++ or Visual Basic. So why would they care 
what a RIA app is developed with. Probably not.

In the end it is the application not the engine.

There seems to be a parallel between PCs with Windows and 
Apple/Macs. Many believe that the Mac is better, but Apple/Mac has 
less the 5% of the market.

Can Adobe accept 5% market share?

You also can not under estimate the impact when Microsoft releases 
Atlas. And no Robert I don't want to hear about how you hate MS or 
the evil empire. Fact is, tens of thousands of developers will and 
I say will use their product.

What this also does is make it more difficult for developers to 
convince management that the Flex product is better. Especially 
when all they hear is AJAX this and AJAX that.

AJAX is getting all the hype. Right or wrong these are the facts. 
They have essentially taken over the RIA landscape and claimed it as 
their own.

My point . . . . Adobe you need to step up to the plate. If you 
think you can wait, then by the time you start you will be too far 
behind. You will be left behind always playing catch-up. If 
you want to reach that 1 million developer goal, it needs to start 
now.

To be better and say you are better is not enough. If the industry 
has already declared AJAX as the RIA industry leader then it becomes 
too late.

>From a market perception, look how AJAX has evolved in the last 
year. Compare that to Adobe Flex. Adobe you are asking developers 
to make a commitment to you, well I think you need to increase your 
commitment to us.

Now is the time to promote to the industry and the general public as 
a whole about the value of Flex.

Again, just my opinion.

Sincerely,

Jack

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 1.5 DataGrid with checkBox?

2006-05-25 Thread Doug Lowder



Hi Dan,

If your dataProvider has a field that signifies the checkbox's 
state, selected for example, you could add the following to your 
click handler:

listOwner.dataProvider[getCellIndex().itemIndex].selected = 
check.selected;

Make sure you declare listOwner and getCellIndex. I've found the 
following link helpful in understanding cell renderers:

Re: [flexcoders] AJAX versus Flex

2006-05-25 Thread Michael Schmalle



Hi,

my 0.02 cents.

When you talk about Ajax verses Flex. I think of one thing, Object
Oriented Programming. This debate, Ajax vs. Flex, wait one more year
and see the code libraries that are abstract and reusable within 2
seconds of loading them on your computer.

See, OOP lends itself well to the I think I can, I think I can, I
think I can and then all the sudden your at rocket power. Take the
Adobe flex2 framewrok and give it a trigger, I could out perform most
that take Ajax and try to figure out the rats nest that comes with all
the browsers, the half ass code libraries, etc.

OOP is still new and well, if you know what it is and how powerful it
can speed up an entire community of developers, Ajax is then going to
have to play catch up.

Flex2 isn't even public yet, so all this grandious, bs that the 'News'
likes to fill your head with means nothing to a real Flex2 developer
like myself.

As far a Microsoft... who cares! They have been leading for years and
will still lead as long as there bank accounts can still pay court
battles. There is never just one leader in this world, common, do your
homework.

Flex. I prefer Flex.

However, you can not open a software magazine, newsletter, journal, 
article, etc. that doesn't reference something about AJAX. It's 
everywhere. Adobe's Flex gets an honorable mention.

I have been in the software business for over 27 years. I have seen 
many companies come and go that had a better mousetrap. I also 
realize that most end users do not care if a desktop app is 
developed with Visual C++ or Visual Basic. So why would they care 
what a RIA app is developed with. Probably not.

In the end it is the application not the engine.

There seems to be a parallel between PCs with Windows and 
Apple/Macs. Many believe that the Mac is better, but Apple/Mac has 
less the 5% of the market.

Can Adobe accept 5% market share?

You also can not under estimate the impact when Microsoft releases 
Atlas. And no Robert I don't want to hear about how you hate MS or 
the evil empire. Fact is, tens of thousands of developers will and 
I say will use their product.

What this also does is make it more difficult for developers to 
convince management that the Flex product is better. Especially 
when all they hear is AJAX this and AJAX that.

AJAX is getting all the hype. Right or wrong these are the facts. 
They have essentially taken over the RIA landscape and claimed it as 
their own.

My point . . . . Adobe you need to step up to the plate. If you 
think you can wait, then by the time you start you will be too far 
behind. You will be left behind always playing catch-up. If 
you want to reach that 1 million developer goal, it needs to start 
now.

To be better and say you are better is not enough. If the industry 
has already declared AJAX as the RIA industry leader then it becomes 
too late.

>From a market perception, look how AJAX has evolved in the last

to make a commitment to you, well I think you need to increase your 
commitment to us.

Now is the time to promote to the industry and the general public as

Again, just my opinion.

Re: [flexcoders] AJAX versus Flex

2006-05-25 Thread Douglas Knudsen



 What this also does is make it more difficult for developers to
 convince management that the Flex product is better. Especially
 when all they hear is AJAX this and AJAX that.

I recently got into a discussion on this, well it really wasn't a
discussion. I was asked to giv e input on Flex to a internal
architecture team. THey had written a quick doc about RIA and using
it on our customer facing apps in the future. The doc had several
incorrect stetements about Flex/Flash RIA. One was 'Flash player is
full of security holes'.

comparing Flex to AJAX I told them that currently no company really is
behind AJAX in the sense of SLAs and such. they quickly retorted that
IBM Websphere supports it. Seeing as these folks live in a 'White
Paper' world, I didn't bother to continue the 'discussion'. Look
around the websphere info, yeah sure you can use AJAX with websphere,
but are tools and support and debugging and such built into the IDE
yet? Does websphere have its own prototype.js that they support when
things go wrong at 3 AM?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: F2b3: e4x XML object as Tree dataprovider, how to refresh tree display?

2006-05-25 Thread Tracy Spratt



That is great.

There are several places in the docs which should be updated then. I'll
note them here, then put comments in the livedocs.

In Using hierarchical data providers:
While you can use an XML object directly as a dataProvider to a
hierarchical data control, you should first convert it to a collection
if the object changes dynamically. Doing so will ensure that the
component represents the changes to the collection.

In Creating a Tree control:
As with all data provider controls, if the data provider contents can
change as a result of actions outside the Tree, wrap the data source in
a collection, such as an ArrayCollection or XMLListCollection object,
and specify the collection in the Tree control's dataProvider property.

And there is another place I can't find right now, that says something
like:
XML, by default will not cause a control to update

Post beta3, changes to XML will automatically get updated in the Tree
control. And you won't be required to go through XMLListCollection
but you can simply make changes to the XML model itself, e.g. delete,
+, appendChild, etc. 

You're seeing a bug in the b3 Tree where the collection events aren't
being handled properly.

Where oh where to post bugs for this? posted this in the adobe
forums, but things are a bit more populated here, eh?

The new kewl 'holy code generation batman!' app wizard generates bad
SQL for me. Both the update() and create() methods are showing an
extra trailing comma in the SET clause and value list repectively. I'm
using Oracle 9, Eclipse 3.1.2, and the latest FB 2 Beta 3 plugin as
well as the latest RDS tools.

RE: [flexcoders] AJAX versus Flex

2006-05-25 Thread Jim Robson










OK, heres 2 more cents.



My employer has a staff of very good Java
developers who have been building leading-edge Web apps for years.



Why did they hire yours truly  a humble
Flash developer? Because they could not get the UI results they wanted with any
other tool. 



Dont get me wrong  they had
built some very cool interfaces using Ajax
and other tools. However, even these did not have all of the slick effects that
they wanted, nor did they work as smoothly or reliably as could be desired. Moreover,
the developers were sick of having to deal with differing browser
implementations. 



They saw apps built by other shops that
had the quality of UIs that they wanted  and all of these apps had Flash
front ends. 



And when a Java shop decides to go with
Flash UIs, Flex is the obvious choice. 



As a final note, my employer builds
applications for the worlds largest customer. And this customer already
has a significant investment in other Adobe / Macromedia technologies, such as
ColdFusion. So it seems to me that Flex is here to stay.



IMHO, once the new 2.0 builder gets into production,
there will be no holding it down. Lots of other developers will love it as much
as we do, and it will take off. 



Having said all of that, of course, it wont
hurt for Adobe to launch a major marketing and PR campaign. J



Best,



Jim

RE: [flexcoders] writing to an XML file

You have to have something on the server-side to receive your file content and write it to the file system.

I have an example for 1.5 that does this using a simple JSP page.

I am at this very moment working on migrating that example to version 2.0.

Do you want the 1.5 example, or do you want to wait for the 2.0?

Michael:

I do not disagree from a technical standpoint and I have 
done my homework.

I am referring to the industry's perspective. I am 
also looking at this from a 
business and marketing view.

If you don't think that hype can make or break a product, 
just look at how
U.S. politics PR can "shape" a 
candidate.

All I am saying, just because you have a better "mousetrap" 
doesn't mean
that the industry will accept it at face 
value.

Hi,my 0.02 cents.When you talk about Ajax verses 
Flex. I think of one thing, Object Oriented Programming. This debate, Ajax vs. 
Flex, wait one more year and see the code libraries that are abstract and 
reusable within 2 seconds of loading them on your computer.See, OOP 
lends itself well to the "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can" and then 
all the sudden your at rocket power. Take the Adobe flex2 framewrok and give it 
a trigger, I could out perform most that take Ajax and try to figure out the 
rats nest that comes with all the browsers, the half ass code libraries, 
etc.OOP is still new and well, if you know what it is and how powerful 
it can speed up an entire community of developers, Ajax is then going to have to 
play catch up.Flex2 isn't even public yet, so all this grandious, bs 
that the 'News' likes to fill your head with means nothing to a real Flex2 
developer like myself.As far a Microsoft... who cares! They have been 
leading for years and will still lead as long as there bank accounts can still 
pay court battles. There is never just one leader in this world, common, do your

Re: [flexcoders] AJAX versus Flex

2006-05-25 Thread Carlos Rovira



As Michael points, AJAX is the client technology this year, wait until Flex 2 ships and people start knowing what they can do it. It will cost at least a a year or even a bit more that people could see that Flex is another world.
But finaly, you as a developer, wants to do your job easily...and as you say your client should (most of the times) know if is Flex, VB or HTML...you want to be free as you do your work, isn't it?

Hi,

my 0.02 cents.

When you talk about Ajax verses Flex. I think of one thing, Object
Oriented Programming. This debate, Ajax vs. Flex, wait one more year
and see the code libraries that are abstract and reusable within 2
seconds of loading them on your computer.

See, OOP lends itself well to the I think I can, I think I can, I
think I can and then all the sudden your at rocket power. Take the
Adobe flex2 framewrok and give it a trigger, I could out perform most
that take Ajax and try to figure out the rats nest that comes with all
the browsers, the half ass code libraries, etc.

OOP is still new and well, if you know what it is and how powerful it
can speed up an entire community of developers, Ajax is then going to
have to play catch up.

Flex2 isn't even public yet, so all this grandious, bs that the 'News'
likes to fill your head with means nothing to a real Flex2 developer
like myself.

As far a Microsoft... who cares! They have been leading for years and
will still lead as long as there bank accounts can still pay court
battles. There is never just one leader in this world, common, do your
homework.

Re: [flexcoders] AJAX versus Flex

2006-05-25 Thread Anatole Tartakovsky





My 2 cents as well..

We have been doing AJAX for 6 years -in the 
end we had pretty much what Flex 1.5 was -complete object-oriented 
environment withXHTML, custom tags, integrated webservices/java remoting, 
transparent dataservices, and do on We also had it up and running for 5 
years at number of Fortune 1000 companies in the most demanding 
environments.

Now we are switching to Flex.Two 
mainreasons : Browser and 
_javascript_
1. Incompatibilities in the browsers and need to 
support multiple browsers quickly kills any advanced controls -effort is 
unbelievable and easily accounts of 90% of the development time.
2. Robustness and performance of _javascript_: It is 
too slow and there is no machanism in the browser to insure the competeness of 
_javascript_ downloads. As a result, even the slightest problems on the network 
level require huge efforts on the framework level.

It is all curable on the system level. For 
demanding applications we had to develop following system components outside the 
browser (just to support AJAX and business needed functionality missing in the 
browser)
1. reliable pluggable protocol on the top of 
HTTP(s) to support guaranteed delivery/caching of data and code
2. cached factories for _javascript_ to allow faster 
instantiation of client-side _javascript_
3. print tempates enabler to allow full control of 
the printing environment without browser limitations.
The list goes on and on

Bottom line, serious AJAX apps require Flash Player 
equivalent. You can try to build it in _javascript_, but it is unrealistic. We 
tried to get browser makers adopt the forementioned enhancements, but they are 
pusing alternatives to AJAX of their own, so Flash seems the only option with 
enough market penetration.

Sincerely,
Anatole Tartakovsky

RE: [flexcoders] AJAX versus Flex

2006-05-25 Thread Stacy Young












Personally Im not expecting flex to
overcome ajax
in terms of market share for one simple reason. Ajax can accommodate a large proportion of
developers needs. Thats not a bad thing, just a reality. Not everyone
will need the kind of firepower that flex can deliver. I do believe though that
well see solid penetration into the enterprise scene.



We should also be aware of the impact of
flash video. Its use is skyrocketing right now and anywhere you have the
flash player for video you open a door to flex technologies. With this in mind
Im thinking the second segment well see penetration is in public
commerce sites. Look at Nike for example, heavy reliance on flash and
now theyre moving into application development with the new deal with
Apple and the ipod. Adoption here may take some time as flash player
penetration is a factor.



Apple may have 5% share but if you
purchased stock a few years back youd be doing quite well today.
Secondly theres plenty of room for them to grow one could argue
thats a safer position then having to defend an already existing empire.



Lastly, growth of Ajax will have a residual positive effect for
flex technologies as it validates the idea that we need to make more
experience-centric applications.



Cheers,

Stace

 I have 
done my homework.

Figure of speech. :) Not aimed at you.

 All I am saying, just because you have a better mousetrap 
doesn't mean
that the industry will accept it at face 
value.

I agree but, none of the press release journalists are talking to me. I
have some pretty hefty component sets comming out that include
workspace xml save/load, automated desktop multi-application handling,
cross application dnd and a score of components that make Ajax look
like an infants toy rattle.

Yes, I have an ego but, that is becasue I kow what I am developing for
release in 3 months. The point is, this debate dosn't mean anything
untill the 'industry' gets to see REAL non-green Flex2 applications
being implemented and used.

I said this once before, The proof is in the pudding. Wait a year, I
am humble enough to admit when I am wrong also... If Adobe is out of a
job in 2 years, I guess I will do something else that keeps the food on
the table! :)

RE: [flexcoders] AJAX versus Flex

2006-05-25 Thread Bart Vanhulle



I'm usually only a passive participant in this mailing list but I felt like replying to this.
I as a developer am not free to choose a development platform in our company. I was actually hired because the company was searching for developers who knew stuff about Coldfusion (later moved to flex).
 
When a company wants to do a project they usually study different roads depending on meeting their requirements, what it will cost, how long it will take. They don't go around the employment offices interviewing candidates and ask them what they would like to program in! (exagerating, I know)
I am there to consult/propose possible strategies in the first stage. They usually pick the ones they are familiar with, they are most confident about. After this I can start implementing.
 
With Flex1.5 there was the big cost tag on the whole infrastructure. Having to buy the server was already a big investment, spending months of development time to a rather new approach to RIA's was another horde that wasn't easy to take. Inhouse developers still need to convince the company why to go for specific new technology. The more it's know to them, the easier it can be to convince them of the benefits.
 
I myself am confronted with the AJAX hype in and outside my office. If they want a fancy feature on a website of ours the first thing they come up with is 'can it be done in AJAX?' No one asks if it can be done with Flex, let alone they would ask for a Flex2 implementation.
 
I agree with the first poster. It's time for Adobe to start promoting Flex so that people know that there is something else then AJAX for RIA implementations and with people I don't mean only developers. For me this was already a big problem with Flex1.5 (if it weren't for our personal contacts with the MM people at the time for Coldfusion, we would never have started with Flex projects) I don't think they can afford this again with Flex2...

Second, even straight-minded part of web developers community realized

RE: [flexcoders] F2B3 - Looking for Column Chart styles example similar to old Brocade sample app.

2006-05-25 Thread Ely Greenfield








Hi Ben. When a set of column series is clustered, the 
chart (or columnSet) is setting the columnWidthRatio and offset properties to do 
it. So if you wanted to cluster differently, you could put the columnSeries 
inside a CartesianChart and set those properties yourself.

To figure out how wide each column should be, you first 
need to decide how wide you want the total cluster to be, and how much each 
column should overlap. Then your formula would be:

columnWidth = 
clusterWidth / (overlap + (series count)*(1-overlap));



the offset is the offset of the middle of the column 
from the middle of the category. given the clusterWidth and columnWidthRatio, 
the offset for each series is:

seriesOffset(N)= -clusterWidth/2 + 
(1-overlap)*columnWidthRatio*(N) + 
columnWidthRatio/2;

So if you have three series, and your total width is 75%, 
and the overlap should be 50%, then 

columnWdithRatio = .75 /(.5 + 3*(1-.5)) 

columnWdithRatio = .75 / 
2;
columnWdithRatio 
= .375

given that,

seriesOffset(0) = -.75/2 + (.5)*.375*0 + 
.375/2;
seriesOffset(0) = 
-.1875;


seriesOffset(1) = -.75/2 + (.5)*.375*1 + 
.375/2;

seriesOffset(1) = 0;



seriesOffset(2) = -.75/2 + (.5)*.375*2 + 
.375/2;

seriesOffset(2) = -.75/2 + .375 + 
.375/2;;

seriesOffset(2) = 
.1875;

Putting that into practice, the markup would 
be
CartesianChart
 series
 ColumnSeries 
columnWidthRatio=".375" offset="-.1875" /
 ColumnSeries 
columnWidthRatio=".375" offset="0" /
 ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=".375" 
offset=".1875" /
/CartesianChart

(You may need to reverse the order of those, I don't 
remember)

Ely.

Re: [flexcoders] AJAX versus Flex

2006-05-25 Thread Michael Schmalle




Third, I don't remember where it comes from but anyway there's a 

stateful that gets me thinking in much deeper than all these A versus 

B flame wars:

I want to say one thing and I am out. I feel compelled to reply to threads like this becasue of some reasons;

1) Defending your home is a natural human tendency
2) There will always be wars against side A and side B(look to history to back me up on this)
3) When you are put in a position to 'defend' something, you either defend it or go to side B
4) When some thought implies 'takeover'
5) When side B misrepresents side A
6) When side A pays the bills

The irony of idealism is it's ideal and will never fit into the Earth
zone. Inventors always like to take it on the head, they always have
their noses where they shouldn't be and always are alone while leading
there idealism.

So, on this list you will find a lot of humans that want to defend what
they think can make a differnece in the future. Ajax is just another
side in life and when people(say from the AJAX camp) start to call
Flex2 dead before the baby is born, we better hope there are people
with silver tounges around to stand up and advocate Flex on all levels
of human interaction. Be it, a nice fireside chat or ranting over a
mailing list. It's natural selection at it's best!

[flexcoders] e4x XML Class: How to update a text node?

Title: e4x XML Class: How to update a text node?








I can read, add and delete text nodes, but how can I update/modify one?

Should I use replace()? I think I can make that work and it seems logical.

Or delete and add?

Or is there another way?

Re: [flexcoders] AJAX versus Flex

2006-05-25 Thread Mark Wales







Imagine a world where desktop applications and Web
applications
look and feel the same AND work together seamlessly, then you are on a
path that might lead to success. Microsoft is working on doing exactly
this - it is just taking them years to
deliver on it. AJAX is a place holder because people are bored with the
Web the way it currently works. In the delay is Adobe's opportunity and
in the boredom is Adobe's challenge.

Flex will not be differentiated in the marketplace by building
exclusively Web applications that are not much better/different than
what you can easily do with Java - especially in light of
Google's most recent announcement (http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/).

The "killer apps" for Flex will be the ones that don't look and feel
any different than people are used to - but do mix graphics,
multimedia, drag-and-drop, etc. with all the traditional UI components
in ways that are nearly
impossible for AJAX to do without lots of customization. As strange as
it may sound, one technique would be to use a fixed set
of style guidelines - say ones that replicate the Windows look and feel
- so that people would be drawn to the interface they know, know how to
use, and prefer (vs. HTML) - even while giving the
developers behind the scenes a much richer set of tools for
implementation. 

Right now, people see the AJAX-enabled Web application that
they recognize as HTML - and then they see a Flex application that
looks a little unfamiliar. Let's make it real simple. The AJAX bridge
is half of that equation - now give us the
set of style settings that are indistinguishable from the Windows
equivalent. If people have to choose between a Windows-equivalent
application and an HTML one, the choice will be simple. The technology,
to the user, is irrelevant.

Next, give us applications that work seamlessly between the desktop and
the Web. I want interoperability (drag-and-drop and who knows what
else) between my Flex-based Web application and my Flex-based desktop
applications. I know, SECURITY. Get over it. It's going to happen, IT
IS JUST A MATTER OF WHO GETS THERE FIRST. Adobe has all the tools to
make this work and really only lacks a loud and cohesive strategy to
make it happen. Given that the competition is Microsoft and Google,
Adobe really needs a running head start if they want to win. 

As for garnering public attention, make a really simple and FREE tool
that combines, say, Breeze-like collaboration features with a small but
extensible suite of Flex applications that do MS Office-like things.
Call it a Beta and let it out with the viral marketing approach of
Gmail.

To all:

Got this email today, http://ajax.sys-con.com/
and it got me to
thinking.

I may get blasted for this, but here goes . . . just my .0199 cents.

Let me first say I believe 100% that the Flex platform is a 
better "mousetrap". I am currently developing applications with 
Flex. I prefer Flex.

However, you can not open a software magazine, newsletter, journal, 
article, etc. that doesn't reference something about AJAX. It's 
everywhere. Adobe's Flex gets an "honorable mention".

I have been in the software business for over 27 years. I have seen 
many companies come and go that had a better "mousetrap". I also 
realize that most end users do not care if a desktop app is 
developed with Visual C++ or Visual Basic. So why would they care 
what a RIA app is developed with. Probably not.

In the end it is the application not the engine.

There seems to be a parallel between PCs with Windows and 
Apple/Macs. Many believe that the Mac is better, but Apple/Mac has 
less the 5% of the market.

Can Adobe accept 5% market share?

You also can not under estimate the impact when Microsoft releases 
Atlas. And no Robert I don't want to hear about how you hate MS or 
the evil empire. Fact is, tens of thousands of developers will and 
I say will use their product.

What this also does is make it more difficult for developers to 
convince management that the Flex product is better. Especially 
when all they hear is AJAX this and AJAX that.

AJAX is getting all the hype. Right or wrong these are the facts. 
They have essentially taken over the RIA landscape and claimed it as 
their own.

My point . . . . Adobe you need to step up to the plate. If you 
think you can wait, then by the time you start you will be too far 
behind. You will be left behind always playing catch-up. If 
you want to reach that 1 million developer goal, it needs to start 
now.

To be better and say you are better is not enough. If the industry 
has already declared AJAX as the RIA industry leader then it becomes 
too late.

>From a market perception, look how AJAX has evolved in the last 
year. Compare that to Adobe Flex. Adobe you are asking developers 
to make a commitment to you, well I think you need to increase your 
commitment to us.

[flexcoders] Resizing (height and width not Bindable)

2006-05-25 Thread David Clark



Hi,This is an is there a better way question.I have an mxml component based on TitleWindow. I create it with CreatePopUp. I want it to take the entire area of its parent, so, I define its height={
parent.height} and similarly for the width. This is fine, however height does not seem to be Bindable (perhaps none of these properties are?) So as I want this component to respond by resizing when its parent resizes, I have it listen for the resize event of its parent and change the size in the handler.
This works just fine, but as I said, is there a better way? Seems to me that if the height and width were Bindable then the resize would happen automatically whenever the values change.Thanks.

Good point... we'll see audiences pull new Flex capabilities rapidly

of what got Flash 8 to 70% consumer viewability in its first half year, 
and adoption of Flash Video has sort of exploded since then.

At the Ajax Experience conference in San Francisco this month, several 
speakers said that their audiences will contain significant IE6 presence 
for a very long time to come -- only a minority have switched browsers 
on their current machines, and many computers will have to be replaced 
before the eventual Vista is adopted. _javascript_ audience advancement 
will likely, over the next few years, be tied to hardware replacement 
rates.

Two very different speeds of evolution here

Re: [flexcoders] maps for flex

2006-05-25 Thread ptrisnadi


Hi Nitin,
I'm not sure why your map gets distorted. But my initial reaction is to think that the container you have for the map is resized by scale, not by size, which then distorts the content as well. Perhaps we can understand it better if you give us more detail to what you have done.Yahoo! Maps Beta uses Navteq, TeleAtlas. As for the API, you can grab it from:http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/flash/flexGettingStarted.html
To see samples of such implementations:http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/applications.htmlI've used the API and being a novice I find it really easy to implement, thanks to the thorough documentation. Good luck.- ptrisnadi- Original Message From: mehta_nm [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 12:47:12 AMSubject: [flexcoders] maps for flex

Re: [flexcoders] Resizing (height and width not Bindable)

2006-05-25 Thread Michael Schmalle



I am no expert but,

I would say looking at the source, if width and height WERE bindable there would be issues with measurments and such(timming).

Using the resize event is perfect in an event based system. Stick with it. ;-)

Peace, MikeOn 5/25/06, David Clark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:



Hi,This is an is there a better way question.I
have an mxml component based on TitleWindow. I create it with
CreatePopUp. I want it to take the entire area of its parent, so, I
define its height={
parent.height} and similarly for the width. This is fine, however
height does not seem to be Bindable (perhaps none of these properties
are?) So as I want this component to respond by resizing when its
parent resizes, I have it listen for the resize event of its parent and
change the size in the handler.
This works just fine, but as I said, is there a better way?
Seems to me that if the height and width were Bindable then the resize
would happen automatically whenever the values change.Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] How to populate an attribute value in DataGrid control?

2006-05-25 Thread Tracy Spratt



First, the @ in fornt of all the xml attributes might cause a problem.

Second, The name/value pair structure of your xml is going to be
difficult to work with. Are you stuck with that structure?

If so you will need to use a labelFunction(). In that you will do
something like:

var sFirstName:String = xmlRecord.data[0].(@@name ==
lastname).@@value; //that is where those @ signe might cause a
problem.

If you can change the xml format this can be much easier.

Below is a sample app that uses labelFunction on fairly complex xml.

[flexcoders] Question on CF components created by the Flex Wizard

2006-05-25 Thread g8torjoe



I am having a little trouble following the flow of the CF components
created by the wizard in Flex. I am using the save function of the
gateway component and writing to the database successfully. When I
create a new record I am wondering if the ID (or key - mine is ID)
should be returned. I see in the component that is searches for the ID
after I add it but when I debug my Flex app in the result event
handler I am not finding that data. Am I making an assumption here?
Thanks!

[flexcoders] Flex Iframe?

Hi all,

Does Flex have anything similar to an HTML iframe where I can embed 
content into a Flex screen? I have an interactive Flash map that I 
would like to put on a screen with a bunch of charts. Maybe there's a 
way to import external Flash files into Flex? I'm really not sure and 
can't find much in the documentation. Can someone point me in the right 
direction?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I want to change a datagrid row background color based on a column in its dataprovider, but all I´ve got searching flexcoders archive are outdated Flex 1.5 solutions or not-very-well-explained cellRenderer tips. How can I achieve this using Flex 2 beta 3? Please, on your example, set the property using a dataprovider column, not a 0xFF value.

Some success already, based on your suggestion: 

Any idea why the first option errors but the second succeeds?

Option 1:
var nodeTextNode:XML = _xmlNodeCurrent.text()[0];
nodeTextNode = oEvent.target.text; //ERRORS

Option2:
_xmlNodeCurrent.text()[0] = oEvent.target.text; //succeeds.

var myXML:XML = myRootblah/myRoot;
trace(myXML:, myXML.toXMLString());

myXML.replace(0, new node text);
trace(myXML:, myXML.toXMLString());

Output:

myXML: myRootblah/myRoot
myXML: myRootnew node text/myRoot

 Any idea why the first option errors but the second succeeds?
 
 Option 1:
 var nodeTextNode:XML = _xmlNodeCurrent.text()[0];
 nodeTextNode = oEvent.target.text; //ERRORS
 
 Option2:
 _xmlNodeCurrent.text()[0] = oEvent.target.text; //succeeds.

 That is not working for me. I get an error Type Coercion failed:
 cannot convert new text node  to XML. The text node currently has
 new text node in it and I am just adding a space character.
 
 What I am actually trying is more like this:
 var xmlCurrent:XML = xml.node[0];
 xmlCurrent = textOne;
 
 I'll keep trying and post my progress.

closing the font size combo, open the font type combo. Both will close.BestX.

[flexcoders] Re: XMLListCollection search [f2b3]

2006-05-25 Thread Tim Hoff



Tracy,
Yesterday, I took the code from your tree control sample and started creating an example for CFlex. Are you doing something similar? The sample that I'm working on contains code and tips from you, Graham Weldon, Tim (sufibaba - don't know last name) and Paul Williams. I'm doing this mostly to learn the ins and outs of using an XML based tree control and tocreate somewhatof a template. Since most of your recent posts have been tree related, I thought that I would ask your help with two things. If you already have code that does the following functions, I would appreciate your help.
1. Remove Selected Element and/or Node2. Add New Element - I have code that does this, but I can't figure-out how to insert dynamic Inner XML (label based on the text in a textInput).
If you get a chance to look at this, it would definitly save me some time. The sample is here:

2006-05-25 Thread Gordon Smith
Title: is delete really the best/only way to remove a node in e4x?










It may not be a Flash decision either
since the API of the XML class is specified by the E4X standard. It would
depend on whether that standard allows an implementor to add additional APIs or
not.

I am not really fussing very hard, it is
just that we have:



XML.appendChild() 

XML.insertChildAfter() 

XML.insertChildBefore() 

XML.prependChild()



but no XML.removeChild?



delete is a completely different style

I don't know whether it is the best or

remove a dynamic property of an Object.

If
this is the final API, I can deal with it, it is just
inconsistent and undocumented, and a bit of a shock when the rest of the api is
so clean and logical.

I
admit I have not read the e4x specification.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] F2B3 -
Looking for Column Chart styles example similar to old Brocade

Hi Ben. When a set of column series
is clustered, the chart (or columnSet) is setting the columnWidthRatio and
offset properties to do it. So if you wanted to cluster differently, you could
put the columnSeries inside a CartesianChart and set those properties yourself.



To figure out how wide each column should
be, you first need to decide how wide you want the total cluster to be, and how
much each column should overlap. Then your formula would be:



columnWidth = clusterWidth / (overlap +
(series count)*(1-overlap));



the offset is the offset of the middle of
the column from the middle of the category. given the clusterWidth and
columnWidthRatio, the offset for each series is:



seriesOffset(N)= -clusterWidth/2 +
(1-overlap)*columnWidthRatio*(N) + columnWidthRatio/2;



So if you have three series, and your
total width is 75%, and the overlap should be 50%, then 



columnWdithRatio = .75 /(.5 + 3*(1-.5))


columnWdithRatio = .75 / 2;

columnWdithRatio = .375



given that,



seriesOffset(0) = -.75/2 + (.5)*.375*0 +
.375/2;

seriesOffset(0) = -.1875;



seriesOffset(1) = -.75/2 + (.5)*.375*1 +
.375/2;

seriesOffset(1) = 0;



seriesOffset(2) = -.75/2 + (.5)*.375*2 +
.375/2;

seriesOffset(2) = -.75/2 + .375 + .375/2;;

seriesOffset(2) = .1875;



Putting that into practice, the markup
would be

CartesianChart

 series

 ColumnSeries
columnWidthRatio=.375 offset=-.1875 /

 ColumnSeries
columnWidthRatio=.375 offset=0 /

 ColumnSeries
columnWidthRatio=.375 offset=.1875 /

/CartesianChart



(You may need to reverse the order of
those, I don't remember)



Ely.

[flexcoders] Image scale 9 having fun

2006-05-25 Thread Stacey Mulcahy










Alrighty, I'll take one for
the team and post the stupidest question of the day, in fact its Stacey++ since
I accidentally posted this to the Flashcoders list.



- I have the following (flex
2b3)




[Embed(source='assets/header.png',scaleGridTop='20', scaleGridLeft='10',


scaleGridBottom='30', scaleGridRight='20')] [Bindable] var headerImage:Class;



and



mx:Image
source={headerImage} height=51 width=100%
id=header_mc/mx:Image



Basically it should be a
header that expands width wise use the scale grid. 

Its definitely NOT working
for me regardless of how I set it up. Does it need to be within a container (
tried that, didn't get the results I wanted)



Ultimately the left has to
be like 200 pixels in rather than those numbers, but whatever.



Also the docs are
inconsistent, some examples show the scale properties assigned to strings, some
show numbers..



Anyone got a simple example of this that I could try
using, this is driving me nuts, just trying to get an expanding header...

Thanks for the feedback.

Unfortunately I cannot change the XML, the data is from third party

 Second, The name/value pair structure of your xml is going to be

 If so you will need to use a labelFunction(). In that you will do
 something like:
 
 var sFirstName:String = xmlRecord.data[0].(@@name ==
 lastname).@@value; //that is where those @ signe might cause a

 If you can change the xml format this can be much easier.

Re: [flexcoders] Image scale 9 having fun

2006-05-25 Thread Michael Schmalle



Stacey,

Honestly I havn't tried this but, looking at the source of Image awhile
ago, I would say it is not possible with that class. The Image wants to
scale not call setActualSize().

Why don't you try loading as 'backgroundImage' of a VBox or HBox. I am not to sure but, something tells me that this would work.

Alrighty, I'll take one for

[Embed(source='assets/header.png',scaleGridTop='20', scaleGridLeft='10',


scaleGridBottom='30', scaleGridRight='20')] [Bindable] var headerImage:Class;

Basically it should be a
header that expands width wise use the scale grid. 

Its definitely NOT working
for me regardless of how I set it up. Does it need to be within a container (
tried that, didn't get the results I wanted)



Ultimately the left has to
be like 200 pixels in rather than those numbers, but whatever.



Also the docs are
inconsistent, some examples show the scale properties assigned to strings, some
show numbers..



Anyone got a simple example of this that I could try
using, this is driving me nuts, just trying to get an expanding header...

Re: [flexcoders] Image scale 9 having fun

You know, we are talking about a png, scratch the setActualSize() thing.

Scratch what I said, my advice just try it in something that is a skin, not the Image.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How to populate an attribute value in DataGrid control?

2006-05-25 Thread Tracy Spratt



If the @ really prevent your from using the xpath-like expressions, you can always drop back to looping over the XMLList's elements.

If I get a few minutes, I'll see what I can do with your xml.

Tracy,

Thanks for the feedback.

Unfortunately I cannot change the XML, the data is from third party 
provider. I tried it with labelFunction and @@, it does not work :-(

var sFirstName:String = xmlRecord.data[0].(@@name ==
lastname).@@value;

 First, the @ in fornt of all the xml attributes might cause a 
problem.
 
 Second, The name/value pair structure of your xml is going to be
 difficult to work with. Are you stuck with that structure?
 
 If so you will need to use a labelFunction(). In that you will do
 something like:
 
 var sFirstName:String = xmlRecord.data[0].(@@name ==
 lastname).@@value; //that is where those @ signe might cause a
 problem.
 
 If you can change the xml format this can be much easier.
 
 Below is a sample app that uses labelFunction on fairly complex xml.

[flexcoders] Embedding Swf files Help sample broken. Need to refer to symbols at runtime.

2006-05-25 Thread pinkmongrel



I need to load swf's that include many symbols which I need to 
reference dynamically at runtime.

I am able to embed and link to symbols whose name I know at compile 
time using:

[Embed(source='shapes.swf', symbol='greenSquare')]
[Bindable]
public var imgCls:Class;

I won't know some of my symbol names until runtime.

In the Help page Embedding SWF files there is an example of 
referencing a symbol by using a string parameter:

The heart of it is:

 public var loadedSM:SystemManager;
 [Bindable]
 public var loadedLabel:Label;

 // Initialize variables with information from
 // the loaded application.
 private function initNestedAppProps():void {
 loadedSM = SystemManager(myLoader.content);
 loadedLabel = loadedSM.application[lblOne];
 }
---
When I run the example I get a type conversion error at this line:
 loadedSM = SystemManager(myLoader.content);
(Droog3 is the project name.)
 ---
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to 
mx.managers.SystemManager.
 at Droog3/::initNestedAppProps()
 at Droog3/__myLoader_creationComplete()
 at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
 at mx.core::UIComponent/set initialized()
 at mx.managers::LayoutManager/::doPhasedInstantiation()
 at mx.core::UIComponent/::callLaterDispatcher2()
 at mx.core::UIComponent/::callLaterDispatcher()
---

Did the example get broken by the move to beta 3? Did type 
conversion rules for the SystemManager get more strict?

I'd love any help with this. Again, I need to get at a symbol using 
a string parameter, as in the example:

loadedSM.application[lblOne];

Thanks.

 I don't think that you can hide the days (unless you want to
 subclass), but the dateChooser does have disabledDays, 
disabledRanges
 and selectableRange properties.

[flexcoders] DateChooser change background color

2006-05-25 Thread Stacey Mulcahy










Anyone been able to change the dateChooser
bg color? When I have rounded corners , I see white on the corners and I can
manage to get the bg where you see the day items, to be anything besides white.



DateChooser{

 header-colors:#33, #00;

 roll-over-color:#ff0099;

 selection-color: #00;

 today-color: #ff0099;

 border-color: #00;

 color: #99;

 theme-color:#ff0099;

 background-color:#00;





}





Ideas? Confirmation? Refute?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How to populate an attribute value in DataGrid control?

2006-05-25 Thread Tracy Spratt



First, the sample xml in your post is not valid: the data nodes have no closing taqs (or /). If we fix that then the example below works for your xml.

The key is to use the attribute method instead of the @ symbol to reference the attributes.

Tracy

Tracy,

Thanks for the feedback.

Unfortunately I cannot change the XML, the data is from third party 
provider. I tried it with labelFunction and @@, it does not work :-(

var sFirstName:String = xmlRecord.data[0].(@@name ==
lastname).@@value;

 First, the @ in fornt of all the xml attributes might cause a 
problem.
 
 Second, The name/value pair structure of your xml is going to be
 difficult to work with. Are you stuck with that structure?
 
 If so you will need to use a labelFunction(). In that you will do
 something like:
 
 var sFirstName:String = xmlRecord.data[0].(@@name ==
 lastname).@@value; //that is where those @ signe might cause a
 problem.
 
 If you can change the xml format this can be much easier.
 
 Below is a sample app that uses labelFunction on fairly complex xml.
