[flexcoders] Re: No more posts re: moderation / yahoogroups pls
I personally have to agree with steven, the list works well. So well in fact that I do not see a need to change to any other type of forum/list. If you are having issues with finding posts, searching, getting an answer. Then to be frank, you are doing it wrong. As many have posted before, use outlook, thunderbird, exchange, or you could use gmail. The search functionally that google has developed for gmail is astounding. Every single post that goes through flexcoders is sent to my list gmail account and auto tagged and sorted for me. If I need something a few days later, or even weeks later. I open up my list account, search for what I need and bam it is right there. The obvious reasons for no moving the list off yahoo groups would be. Money, who is going to pay for the domain name, the hosting, the forum software, the up keep. Secondly I forsee the forum/list turning into the same debacle that was known as flashcoders. Thier forums/list was a great assest for new flash/as developers. Now it is nothing but a flame fest where new people can't get a lick of help. Me for one, I appreciate every ounce of help I have gotten from flexcoders. I have learned alot in a very short time, mainly because I know if I have an issue that I can't figure out. There is a great community willing to help me. I thank steven for all his hardwork he does with this group, and I say leave the topic alone and let it die and lets move on to some good questions and even better answers.

[flexcoders] Re: F2B3: Possible bugs with ComboBox ItemRenderer and ColorPicker
Thanks for the great tips. The changes worked great. I wonder if there is additional overhead associated with declaring untyped special type variables (*) compared to typed variables?
I couldn't get the color picker focus border to dissapear completely. Nothing that I tried with the FocusManager worked. I'm probably just doing it wrong. But, for now the sample is good enough to demonstrate the ComboBox ItemRenderer concepts.

Hi Vinny, I respectfully disagree with you. There are several very qualified moderators that are watching closely to ensure that this list functions as intended. I'm confident that if a need to change the format arises, an effective change will be made. Meanwhile, the request is simple: The majority of personal opinions (rants) should be reserved for personal blogs.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flash access to a local serial or USB port
Hello, I had to make a flash application one year ago that interact with an external device that was connected on USB or serial port. I used Python to communicate directly with the USB/Serial device and used an xml socket, created a Flash application that listen the xml socket. So I was able to interact with the USB/Serial device this way and it was working very well. The only cons, you have to launch you python script locally before starting your flash app. It was not a problem in my case. If you want I can share the python script that connect the serial device and send/receive info using an xml socket.

RE: [flexcoders] No more posts re: moderation / yahoogroups pls
Vinny, Honestly, I'd love for this to be the last post on the subject; not to censor or to stifle information, but because for the vast majority of the list, this is a topic that they are using their delete key for. The purpose of flexcoders is not to be a forum, is not to be a resource of articles, is not to be a knowledge base, is not to be a community site as such. The purpose of flexcoders is to provide a mailing list where people can email questions, and where people can email responses. There are numerous solutions to providing a mailing list, and we've chosen yahoogroups. Others have sought to have more of a web-based community, and have responded to that - Tariq's efforts with cfflex would be a great example of this. If anyone feels there is a gap in the community - an online chat, a place for posting and sharing code snippets, a knowledge base of articles, and they don't feel that things like labs, adobe forums, blogs, cfflex,etc, are covering those gaps, I'd encourage you to innovate and deliver. This is a mailing list, not a software product - we don't have a team "publishing a roadmap for flexcoders 2". Rather we'd devote our time to supporting the mailing list as best we can, by keeping the signal to noise ratio high through the minimum amount of moderation, and contributing knowledge to the list where the gaps exist. We have a team of moderators who have the sole aim of ensuring that this list is as spam free as possible (and I'd hope you feel that we're achieving that) and who try to step in as little as possible when the content on the list is deviating from the core subject as much as possible. If we're achieving both these aims, we're achieving our ambition with flexcoders. If - with the release of Flex 2 - there is an explosive growth in the community, and a need to split into separate lists, we will entertain that option. However, this option can create as many problems as it solves - people cross-posting to lists and the volume of emails increasing rather than becoming more managable, or the reaching of a tipping point whereby those who hang out on the list to "give more than they receive" find the effort has reached the point of overwhelming, and the fragmentation drives down the value of content. But we are users as well as moderators of the list, and as soon as it becomes unusable for us, we'll be sure to entertain the next logical options. We are keeping flexcoders the way it is right now not because we don't care, but because we care passionately. It is never our intention to offer web-based forums, wikis, blogs, knowledge bases or any of these other things. There are other resources for doing so, or the community is able to respond accordingly. Perhaps you are volunteering ? :) Flexcoders is a mailing list, and the primary interaction is intended by design to be people posting emails to the list, and these emails hitting the inbox of every other member, with a digest for those who wish to scan on a more irregular basis. This enables the quickest responses to solutions, so that the list becomes an enabling means of making the growing flexcoders community as successful as possible. This is a forum where those learning and pushing the technology, can hit a brick wall several times a day, and have that wall removed for them by someone else. That carries immeasurable value to me. I stress again; we have close to 4000 members who are using the list regularly, and there are less than 10-15 members who regularly post about alternatives (more often that not, moving the list to their own site or servers). We're only trying to be a mailing list, and the volume and value that the community are finding from the emails here, would suggest we're still doing a decent job of being just that. Now please, if people want to discuss alternatives, can we take the discussion off-list, rather than frustrate those here, who are happy with the solution as is, and who are more interested in "flexcoding".

I still have a problem with the HTTPService.
It ignores the request parameters I pass to it.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Using

Its because at the
point that you do:
myXML =
http.lastResult.toString();
the result of the
service has not yet been received. You need to create an event listener to let
you know when the service has completed its call.
The event listener
will then trigger a result function that you create, and in that function is
where you should get the result (myXML =

) and do whatever you

Hello Group,
I am new here and seeking help
from you.
I have created a function in my
Flex application and would like to use the HTTPService object from retreiving
XML data from my webservice (based on PHP).
All the examples I have seen on
the Adobe website use same approach (that I don't like) of binding the object
to some controls.
What I trying to achieve is:
Create an HTTP object, instruct that object to retreive a web XML string,
store that string locally in a variable.
Using the code I have provided
below, the application gives an error saying that the object is not yet
created (null). And if I watch the task bar after the error message (in
Firefox), I see that the flash application is accessing the webXML.
What might be
wrong?

There are plenty of products out there that establiush a connection between a handheld and a PC, but the ones that I've seen, carry with them a host of installation and support issues. It would be nice to load the handheld with my software, ship the handheld to a customer and be done with it. The client connects the PDA to a PC, via USB or serial port, while a Flex application is running. Then the applications on both ends recognize each other and prompt for data transfer.

busy cursor and my empty datagrid. I am using CF 7 and there is a
datasource that is defined when you install the tutorials. It is

[flexcoders] Flex2B3 :: Ambiguous reference to setStyle :: classConstruct()
Hi,
I have got this error before. Ambiguous reference to setStyle. in the classConstruct() initializer.
I thought when you create a component and want to defined you class styles, you use classConstruct() construct.
Am I wrong? Or do I use a style sheet. Seems to me I would use this, did this change in b3?
Anyway,
I have this; at the top of the class;
[Style(name=buttonModuleDisabledSkin, type=Class, inherit=no)]
[Style(name=buttonModuleDownSkin, type=Class, inherit=no)]
[Style(name=buttonModuleOverSkin, type=Class, inherit=no)]
[Style(name=buttonModuleUpSkin, type=Class, inherit=no)]
And this at the bottom of the class.
private static var classConstructed:Boolean = classConstruct();
private static function classConstruct():Boolean
{
if (!StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(MessageBarFX))
{
var style:CSSStyleDeclaration = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
style.setStyle(buttonModuleUpSkin, ButtonSkin);
style.setStyle(buttonModuleOverSkin, ButtonSkin);
style.setStyle(buttonModuleDownSkin, ButtonSkin);
style.setStyle(buttonModuleDisabledSkin, ButtonSkin);
StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration(MessageBarFX, style, false);
}
return true;
}
I guess I just don't get what is ambiguous about this call.
If it IS ambiguous, then how do I initialize these styles with ButtonSkin?
Peace, Mike

[flexcoders] Re: Flex2B3 :: Ambiguous reference to setStyle :: classConstruct()
Oh yeah, one other thing;
Why can't we have...
[Style(name=buttonModuleDisabledSkin, type=Class, inherit=no default=mx.skins.halo.ButtonSkin)]
Where default would be the default value?
or even easier example..
[Style(name=cornerRadius, type=Number, format=Length, inherit=no, default=4)]
Just a question.
Peace, Mike

If that doesn't work try:

for the dataProvider, without artists at the end.

[flexcoders] Re: Dates WebServices .NET (redux)
Dirk, Yes I have read your response and thank you for it. Your suggestions seem well thought out and quite effective. Unfortunately, they would cause me and my team to much extra work at this point in our project, to be particularly helpful. In my current network the servers reside in Seattle (GMT-8 or -7 in summers) but the app is used in at least 5 time zones. The App however simply does not care about time zone. For the most part it does not care about time, only date. Having to convert the dates to/from UTC time would mean we have to configure each user for their home time zone and then look that data up each time we deal with a date value. This also becomes a problem since many users use this system on laptops and travel all around North America. We also deal with some very large datasets, it not uncommon for a user to load 5,000 records in a single request each containing 2 date fields. We would have to retrieve the records from the database, loop through then converting each field by the difference between UTC and that user's current time zone, and then send them to the client. This would ensure that they get to the user in their local time. Yet a bigger issue is that we are concurrently developing 2 more UI options; a .NET Smart Client and a pure ASP.NET/HTML client for down-level users. It has always been our intent that these other UI's would use the same mid-tier and web services as the Flex UI. We have decided that we do not want to write several hundred extra lines of code and create a separate set of web services to deal with the bad behavior of one UI technology. The solution I am currently adopting is two-fold: 1) I've build an HTTP Module that recognizes requests from Flex and re-writes the WSDL on-the-fly replacing 'dateTime' elements with 'string' elements. This causes flex to leave the date as a string in format -MM-ddThh:mm:ss and works much better than a Date object in AS3. It's also comparable with standard operators and sortable. I've also built my own DateUtils class for performing additional functions and conversion to/from AS3 Dates, and a DateInput component that works like a hybrid TextInput / DateField control and supports 2-way binding directly to a date string in the format .NET sends. In short, we decided not to use any date object in Flex. 2) Continue to respectfully petition the Flex development team to fix the behavior of Dates and Web Services in Flex 2.0 to be more compatible with services that are not time zone aware, by making these behaviors user definable. I'm also hoping to convince them to change the inner working of the Date object to be comparable and sortable using standard operators, like Strings and Numbers are. -- Thanks to everyone who has offered their help and comments to my question. Based on much of your feedback I now have a solution that although not perfect, is working well. If any other .NET users would like copies of the HTTP module and/or custom Flex components we've developed for this solution, we will be documenting them and releasing them open source after our project is completed and released.

[flexcoders] Re: FDS Samples
Well, I figured out what the problem is. On the wiki (but nowhere in the downloaded package) it says that FDS on Tomcat requires the JOTM transaction manager. The wiki points to two articles by unrelated third parties that have different instructions for what is required to install. Then there are some additional instructions directly in the wiki that seem to overlap and contradict the instructions in the articles. The bottom line is this is no easy drop a war or jar in and your done kind of installation - or if it is, then the instructions are even worse than I thought. I would suggest that adobe make the effort to tighten up the documentation on this and maybe do some kind of an installer that maybe even makes the necessary adjustments to the tomcat config file. Just because someone programs in java doesnt mean they know all of the ins and outs of servlet container configurations. This, oh we will leave the last few steps as an exercise for the reader is just one of my personal pet peeves. Just because software is targeted at programmers and technical folks doesnt mean its ok to make it hard. Adobe has, in general, done a good job with the client side.

[flexcoders] Re: FDS Samples
Couldn't agree with your comments more... I burned about 4 hours the other day trying to get FDS up and running with Tomcat (will have to try your clearer instructions on the JOTM install, as I tried the 2 sources you mentioned and did not get anywhere). In Adobe's defense, I don't think it's just them, the Java community seems to have so many amazing platforms and frameworks, but there's so many that just accomplish the same thing, and in general, there's no simple documentation on installation or usage that makes any sense. Sometimes it seems like it takes 6 frameworks running around the clock to print out 'hello world'. :) All that being said, I'm sure that once Flex 2 goes GA, we'll see much better documentation on all of this. They are probably a little busy right now... Thanks again for the instructions though, I'm sure these will help many who found the JOTM instructions cryptic before.

[flexcoders] Flex 2.0/Flash crash with big xml datasets.
Has anyone tried loading any fairly large dataset from an HTTPService into an ArrayCollection and then binding it to a DataGrid. I have a 75mb XML (Unicode) file that contains ~54,000 records. I'm trying to do as I just stated with this file. I sure anyone reading this is laughing and asking why I would do such a stupid thing, but bear with me for the sake of BETA testing. I find two problems occurring: 1) The Flash Player (and Web Browser) often crashes. I get errors like The Shockwave Flash plug-in has performed an illegal operation; it's recommended you restart Firefox immediately. The error dialog in IE6 is different but conveys the same general message. 2) If it does not crash, it consumes almost 1GB or RAM to load this 75MB file. I understand that building and binding the objects in memory will use more RAM that the size of the file itself but this is a very big difference. Also, in my actual application I use a Web Service to load the file in chunks of 50-100 records per request and add them to the (already bound) ArrayCollection in a loop. This ALWAYS crashes in both IE and Firefox without fail. It usually happens after only 1000 records or so. Has anyone else experienced this behavior, or been foolish enough to try this? - Kelly Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Great things are happening at Yahoo! Groups.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: FDS Samples
yeah, jboss is a JEE application server so I think JOTM is part of the spec by now. But I didnt know resin had it. Jetty is another one that should go more smoothly than tomcat since JOTM came out of the jetty project. If it had turned out to be much harder than it actually was I probably would have switched. But as it turns out the biggest issue with using tomcat is the documentation, not the actual process. Hank On 6/18/06, Jeremy Lu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the detailed tutorial.

In Adobe's defense, I don't think it's just them, the Java community seems to have so many amazing platforms and frameworks, but there's so many that just accomplish the same thing, and in general, there's no simple documentation on installation or usage that makes any sense. Sometimes it seems like it takes 6 frameworks running around the clock to print out 'hello world'. :) All that being said, I'm sure that once Flex 2 goes GA, we'll see much better documentation on all of this. They are probably a little busy right now... Thanks again for the instructions though, I'm sure these will help many who found the JOTM instructions cryptic before.

Using samples allows you to run the samples application that comes with FDS. On 6/18/06, hank williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, I figured out what the problem is. On the wiki (but nowhere in the downloaded package) it says that FDS on Tomcat requires the JOTM transaction manager. The wiki points to two articles by unrelated third parties that have different instructions for what is required to install. Then there are some additional instructions directly in the wiki that seem to overlap and contradict the instructions in the articles. The bottom line is this is no easy drop a war or jar in and your done kind of installation - or if it is, then the instructions are even worse than I thought. I would suggest that adobe make the effort to tighten up the documentation on this and maybe do some kind of an installer that maybe even makes the necessary adjustments to the tomcat config file. Just because someone programs in java doesnt mean they know all of the ins and outs of servlet container configurations. This, oh we will leave the last few steps as an exercise for the reader is just one of my personal pet peeves. Just because software is targeted at programmers and technical folks doesnt mean its ok to make it hard. Adobe has, in general, done a good job with the client side. But, for lots of people, this will be a bummer. Hank On 6/18/06, hank williams [EMAIL PROTECTED]
