Re: [flexcoders] Re: I need to be able to disconnect a client from FDS on the server-side using t

2006-07-24 Thread Tom Bray



why not stick with fms.Our apps get enourmous amounts of usage (MySpace is one of our clients) and we were hoping FDS would scale better. Using Java instead of single-threaded _javascript_ for our server-side logic should improve things significantly. If we can support the same features and it scales better, it might end up being cheaper for us than FMS. Plus, since FMS and FDS have some redundant features and FMS hasn't exactly had an enthusiastic commitment from Macromedia/Adobe over the years, we're somewhat hesitant to build new, even-higher-usage apps on a platform that's being put out to pasture.
I see things like this in the FDS API docs:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/fds2javadoc/flex/management/runtime/messaging/endpoints/rtmp/RTMPServerControlMBean.html#removeConnection(java.lang.String)and it makes me think there's a lot  under the hood that isn't documented well and that might suit our needs. But I can't get an answer even from our direct contacts at Adobe. I guess I don't know the magic words.

hmmm...The fact that all anyone can really think of are theories suggests to me that FDS may not really be an optimal platform where centralized intelligence is required. It sounds like FMS really still has a strong position for these kinds of apps. Of course FDS does have some nice benefits as it relates to database integration, but for messaging, why not stick with fms. Cheaper too!

Ah, a slightly different use-case for sure.I haven't tried it, but I would think I could do this in a filter.When the user should get banned, place a message onto say your JMSbus.The filter is subscribed to ban messages where the userid = the

That would work if we could trust that our SWF hasn't been hacked. We have people trying to hack our clients all the time and they're often the ones we want to disconnect in the first place. If we relied on the client to disconnect itself, these guys would prevent that message from getting through.

[flexcoders] TypeError when using removedEffect on custom component within Repeater

2006-07-24 Thread m88e24
Flex 2
Player r15 (debug version installed by builder)

A repeater is bound to an ArrayCollection. The ArrayCollection is
dynamically updated. Objects are added and removed at runtime. This
works satisfactory. Now I want the removal of an object to trigger an
effect which is much nicer than just removing an item from the screen
with the blink of an eye. So I use the removedEffect in my custom
component.
The code looks something like this.

My custom component (just the bits that are relevant):
mx:Canvas xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
creationComplete=initApp()
currentState={assistant.availability} 
horizontalScrollPolicy=off verticalScrollPolicy=off
creationCompleteEffect={appear}  removedEffect={disappear}
mx:Parallel id=appear 
mx:Fade alphaFrom=0 duration=1000/
/mx:Parallel

mx:Parallel id=disappear 
mx:Fade alphaTo=0 duration=1000 / 
/mx:Parallel
/mx:Canvas

ow the main application with the repeater (again just the relevant bits):

mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
pageTitle=SNS Bank
layout=absolute 
horizontalAlign=center verticalAlign=middle 
width=800 height=600 
creationComplete=initApp() xmlns:local=*

mx:Script
![CDATA[
[Bindable]
private var assistants:ArrayCollection = new 
ArrayCollection();
/mx:Script

mx:Tile height=245 top=29 borderStyle=none
dropShadowEnabled=false 
width=350 horizontalCenter=0 
backgroundColor=#FAA54C
backgroundAlpha=0.05
mx:Repeater id=rp1 dataProvider={assistants}
recycleChildren=true removed={disappear}
local:AssistantRepresentationPanel 
id=assistantPanel
assistant={rp1.currentItem}/
/mx:Repeater
/mx:Tile
/mx:Canvas


When the removedEffect is defined on the custom component repeated
within the Repeater and an element is removed from the ArrayCollection
the Repeater is bound to, the error with stack trace occurs:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.

[flexcoders] Re: complex object in cairngorm

2006-07-24 Thread Tim Hoff



Hi Robert,
On the server side you can design your data model as a relational database. In your case, the flat tables would be:
Group: groupId, groupName
Product: productId, groupId, productName, imageURL, price
Model: modelId, productId, color
This is a similar structure to the VO, but isn't limited to one VO definition.Youcan construct and deconstruct the VO's sent and receivedfrom the application with either SQL queries, stored procedures, CFC's, or whatever method your server side technolgy uses. This is just one approach; java-based back-ends can be a little more integrated. But, by keeping the server-side data in relational tables, you add a little more flexibility for future needs.

Hi All!

I have ComboBox in state and when I change its dataProvider, where
labels are longer, its dropdown size doesn't change. I attached two
application files and you can also find their source below. Click
Edit button first, then Cancel and Edit again. Dropdown is so
thin.

myComboBox.dataProvider = [Italy, France,

}

protected function onEditStateEnter() : void {
if (myComboBox.initialized) {
onEditState();
} else {

myComboBox.addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE,

}
}

}

}

Re: [flexcoders] Python / Flex solution

2006-07-24 Thread Clint Modien



Umm... if the data is read-write to the server (which I'm assuming it is since you asked about fds)I'd use value objects and a webservce.The closest thing I've seen to an amf solution is Flashticle and I don't think they've upgraded to AMF3 yet. Technically the AMF3 spec isn't out till sometime this fall so you might look for a Python AMF3 implementation sometime then? Unless someone reverse engineers the protocol... *laughs* I just did a search for who I though might reveng it... Kevin Langdon... and yup... he's done it so who knows... an am3 solution for python might be around the corner. But for now... I'm pretty sure you should go with passing objects via a web service.
Hope that helps.On 7/22/06, matt wicks [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

[flexcoders] how do Idempotent Services fit into Cairngorm?

2006-07-24 Thread Andrea Varga
Hi,

Maybe this is not a proper namig. By Idempotent Services I mean services 
that can detect when they are called more than once with the same 
parameter and prevent calling the server when there is no need.
How would be best to implement such a service in Cairngorm?
Should Commands or Business Delegates take care of this? How?

Andi

[flexcoders] Re: QuickDateFormatter - how can I make it MXML enabled?

2006-07-24 Thread ben.clinkinbeard
OK, I've made a modified version more suitable for MXML and would love
to get feedback from everyone. Ideally I would be able to bind a field
or label directly to the formatted output and would not require a
click to 'reset' the field that is bound to the formatted value. How
would I accomplish that? (I tried but was unsuccessful.) Here is the
modified class:

public class QuickDateFormatter extends DateFormatter
{
public var str_dateString:String;
public var str_dateFormat:String;
[Bindable] public var str_formattedDate:String;

public function getFormattedDate():void
{
var f:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter();
f.formatString = str_dateFormat;
str_formattedDate =
f.format(DateFormatter.parseDateString(str_dateString));
}
}

and a sample usage:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute xmlns:local=*
local:QuickDateFormatter id=qdf str_dateString={d.text}
str_dateFormat={f.text} /
mx:Label text={qdf.str_formattedDate} x=72 y=168/
mx:TextInput x=72 y=117 width=133 id=d/
mx:TextInput x=222 y=117 width=91 id=f/
mx:Label x=72 y=91 text=Date/

[flexcoders] Flex 2 FDS pricing for clustered solution

2006-07-24 Thread Mykola Paliyenko



Hello flexcodersI found no info on the Adobe site about pricing, from the threads I understood that FDS is priced 20K$ per CPU for unlimited concurrent amount of users. We are building the solution that will require support thousands of simultaneous users on the site and will require up to 100 application servers as we grow.
I know that Adove guys are reading this list so I have a questions first of all to them and to those who have some relevant info about this- Is it true about pricing 20K$/per CPU for unlimited users?- Do you have some discounts policy for such cases as described above?
- How much will it cost us to license FDS for 100 dual CPU servers?- Can we license only AMF gateway without any client pushes etc with discount?The problem is that we simply need amf gateway on that 100 servers and paying 4M$ just for gateway is too kewl as for me. I'd better develop one on my own :)
We are investigating alternatives such as OpenAMF but we want to know the amount of money we need to spent on original Adobe solution.Thanks in advance for any comments.-- WBR, Mykola

 Hi All!

 I have ComboBox in state and when I change its dataProvider, where

 Edit button first, then Cancel and Edit again. Dropdown is so
 thin.

 public class TestBase extends Application {

 public var myComboBox : ComboBox;

 public static const VIEW_STATE : String = viewState;

 public function TestBase() {
 }

 protected function onEditButtonClick() : void {
 currentState = EDIT_STATE;
 }

 protected function onCancelButtonClick() : void {

 myComboBox.dataProvider = [Italy, France,

 }

 protected function onEditStateEnter() : void {
 if (myComboBox.initialized) {

 } else {

 myComboBox.addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE,

 }
 }

 private function onEditState() : void {
 myComboBox.open();

 }

RE: [flexcoders] Python / Flex solution

2006-07-24 Thread Ted Patrick












Matt,



There are many ways to do this:




 FDS can run JYTHON code.
 JYTHON is the Python interpreter running in 100% Java. It is a handy way
 to author FDS application backends for RPC, Messaging(JMS), and Data Management.
 Create a CPython service
 using Twisted and expose it via RPC or JMS. http://www.twistedmatrix.org
 There is a Module for Python for
 communicating with JMS directly in either pub/sub. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2004-November/249578.html




I think your best bet is Jython. They have ported every CPython
library to Jython and you can use any existing Java library as well. Also you
can develop using the interpreter and then compile to static java for
performance.



Jython is an implementation of the high-level, dynamic,
object-oriented language Python written in 100% Pure Java, and seamlessly
integrated with the Java platform. It thus allows you to run Python on any Java
platform.

 Hi all.
 
 Maybe not a flex question but relevant.
 
 I am trying to authenticate flex into my middle tier by using

 I am moderately familiar with acegi and the saying goes that the

   property name=loginFormUrlvalue/acegilogin.jsp/value/

   property name=forceHttpsvaluefalse/value/property

 Question is then, has anyone integrated acegi with flex because in 
 the above case maybe the loginFormUrl can be /acegiLogin.jsp where 
 the jsp holds the main swf for flex.
 
 Looking for tips on where to start and where to head off with the 
 integration.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 FDS pricing for clustered solution

Hi Mykola,


We dont currently offer a product that is packaged in the way youre
describing below. Id like to connect with you off-line to understand
your specific issues and see if there is something we can do to assist. Ill
follow-up shortly.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex 2 FDS
pricing for clustered solution











Hello
flexcoders
I found no info on the Adobe site about pricing, 
from the threads I understood that FDS is priced 20K$ per CPU for unlimited
concurrent amount of users. We are building the solution that will require
support thousands of simultaneous users on the site and will require up to 100
application servers as we grow. 
I know that Adove guys are reading this list so I have a questions first of all
to them and to those who have some relevant info about this

- Is it true about pricing 20K$/per CPU for unlimited users?
- Do you have some discounts policy for such cases as described above? 
- How much will it cost us to license FDS for 100 dual CPU servers?
- Can we license only AMF gateway without any client pushes etc with discount?

The problem is that we simply need amf gateway on that 100 servers and paying
4M$ just for gateway is too kewl as for me. I'd better develop one on my own :)


We are investigating alternatives such as OpenAMF but we want to know the
amount of money we need to spent on original Adobe solution.

Thanks in advance for any comments.

[flexcoders] antiAliasType null exception with Text instances!

2006-07-24 Thread Sergey Kovalyov
Hi All!

Each time I create new Text instance in ActionScript using new Text()
and then add it to parent container, I get exception:

TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter antiAliasType must be non-null.

What's wrong?

Sergey.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex arrows?

2006-07-24 Thread JesterXL





My guess is that was done for filesize 
reasons. The resulting SWF is smaller since ActionScript bytecode is a lot 
smaller via lzw compression than a PNG/GIF via the same. While the drawing 
is more CPU intensive, you cut corners for filesize where you can, and I 
understand their justification.

2006-07-24 Thread Douglas Knudsen



gotcha! Now the question, I want to create a custom component called NextButton that acts the same as the one in the DateChooser and inherits the skin the same as the one in the DateChoser thus seemlessly interacting with the Flex framework. Adobe has let loose the source code for DateChooser. Does Adobe envision some of us copying some of their code in order to fulfill such a community benefiting component?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex arrows?

2006-07-24 Thread JesterXL





I can't remember what email, but I showed the 
CSS. Can't you just use the same DateChooser CSS?

NextButton
{
 upSkin: 
ClassReference("mx.skins.halo.DateChooserMonthArrowSkin");
 downSkin: etc.
}

Then, just make a MXML file that extends 
Button.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex arrows?

2006-07-24 Thread JesterXL





No, you're not missing anything obvious, it's just 
hard to keep track of past email discussions on this topic, sorry.

You have a choice; either go dig in the Button 
class to see how they are rotating the arrow, wait for me to do it this evening, 
or go take 2 minutes to create the arrows yourself, and use bitmap 
skins.

I'd vote for the later: Quick, no dependencies, and 
it'll get you a solution that works sooner than later. You're not using 
the framework, but it's a frikin' arrow, whoop-dee-doo, know what I'm 
sayin'?

Just go into your image editing program (Fireworks 
/ Photoshop):
- create arrow, both left and right
- save as PNG with transparency
- embed as the upSkin for NextButton next arrow, 
and left arrow for the PrevButton

If you set those in the CSS, you'll be able to 
do:

view:PrevButton /
view:NextButton /

And they'll automatically use the skin. This 
reduces the amount of code you'll need to write and makes it easy to modify the 
arrow application wide later. The DateChooser's arrow shouldn't be that 
hard to duplicate.

Re: [flexcoders] Still Fuzzy about Flex 2.0 and CFCs

Ability to pass custom objects.  I've written over 800 lines of code for 
Factories to convert CFC structs to ValueObjects in the past 6 months.  It 
sucks, is a pain in the ass, and it sucks... did I mention I hate debugging 
data-type conversions?  I'm sure with AMF3's 30-50% reducation in filesize 
over the wire vs. AMF0, performance would be better too.

[flexcoders] what happened to ViewStack - changeEffect?

2006-07-24 Thread thunderstumpgesatwork

I was using the ViewStack changeEffect=fade to fade between views...
how is this accomplished now? I see hideEffect and showEffect
inherited from UIComponent... but is that going to apply to the views
in the stack, or only when the container itself is shown or hidden?

thanks,
Thunder

Jessie,

I hear you on this - I've been dealing with the same sort of thing
myself, but I have a client who is looking for the low cost of entry
solution and CF7 upgrade and FDS would appear to be out of the question.
That's excellent that you can set encoding however - that opens things

Re: [flexcoders] Flex arrows?

2006-07-24 Thread Douglas Knudsen



On 7/24/06, JesterXL [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:









No, you're not missing anything obvious, it's just 
hard to keep track of past email discussions on this topic, sorry.

You have a choice; either go dig in the Button 
class to see how they are rotating the arrow, wait for me to do it this evening, 
or go take 2 minutes to create the arrows yourself, and use bitmap 
skins.I gotcha! appreciate the offer, but I'm a glutton for punishment too. :) Not being a Flasher, this could be a good exercise in AS3 as well as Flex framework. Its kind of surprising the Flex team didn't create a ButtonArrow class that could be reused on other components. I guess the datechooser is the only control using it though, eh?
I'd vote for the later: Quick, no dependencies, and 
it'll get you a solution that works sooner than later. You're not using 
the framework, but it's a frikin' arrow, whoop-dee-doo, know what I'm 
sayin'?

Just go into your image editing program (Fireworks 
/ Photoshop):
- create arrow, both left and right
- save as PNG with transparency
- embed as the upSkin for NextButton next arrow, 
and left arrow for the PrevButton

If you set those in the CSS, you'll be able to 
do:

view:PrevButton /
view:NextButton /

And they'll automatically use the skin. This 
reduces the amount of code you'll need to write and makes it easy to modify the 
arrow application wide later. The DateChooser's arrow shouldn't be that 
hard to duplicate.righto, I've been reading up on skinning on adobe's site. Yeah, in this case it is a simple button. Larger picture, what if the theme is changed on the application? Will this method incur changes to the custom skin or would it automagically use the new theme? 
thanks again...off and running..well not literally, its too bloody hot in atlanta!DK

My guess is that was done for filesize

Just to be clear, you don't need FDS to use AMF3  ColdFusion's 
ValueObjects, only CF 7.0.2.

I'm with you on price, though.  They'll end up paying more in the end as you 
spend copious amounts of time writing ValueObject conversion code, and 
debugging string vs. number conversion errors, but it's hard to justify 
without someone who can clearly articulate to the client by spending more 
money up front, they'll save money in the end.

Jessie,

Thanks for the clarification. 

What I do not see in the Flex2 docs is the ability to use Remote object
without FDS.  Would you have to write your own custom class to do your
remoting calls?  I've done such in Flash.

Flex 2 can utilize AMF0 or AMF3; you just set the ObjectEncoding.

CF 7.0.2 can use AMF3; anything before only AMF0.

Flex 2 can talk to both old CF and new CF.  Talking to the old sucks
from a client-side perspective.

OK, gotcha, but I suppose the other issue is what version of AMF is
availble server-side.  I'm getting the impression that AMF3 is necessary
both on the client and server in Flex 2.0 - am I right about that?

There is a difference betwen granular record editing, and service

[flexcoders] SOLVED Re: Debugging Java remote Objects in Eclipse

2006-07-24 Thread thunderstumpgesatwork
Got it working! After a lot of trial and error, and searching around
about JRun debugging, I've got what works for me.
Good Luck,
Thunder
_

Here is what I did:

* Right-click your Java server project, select Debug As - Debug...
* If it doesn't already have a new configuration, click the 'new'
toolbar button at the top left of the window.
* Name the debug configuration, and in the main tab set the main
class to jrunx.kernel.JRun
* select the arguments tab
- Program Arguments (without the quotes): start default
- VM Arguments (without the quotes): 
-Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -Djmx.invoke.getters=true
* PROBABLY NOT NEEDED (may work with Java 1.5 JRE)
   - select the JRE tab and select 'Alternate JRE' and pick 
   a java 1.4.x JRE
* Select the Classpath tab and select User Entries in the list, then
  use 'Add External Jars' to add:
- ALL Jar files from C:\fds2\jrun4\lib
- ALL Jar files from C:\fds2\jrun4\servers\lib
- ALL Jar files from 
C:\fds2\jrun4\servers\default\flex\WEB-INF\lib
* Click 'Apply' and 'Debug'

Re: [flexcoders] Still Fuzzy about Flex 2.0 and CFCs

2006-07-24 Thread JesterXL
Let's define some terms to make sure we're on the same page.

Flash Remoting is 2 technologies.  First, the client side portion is the 
ability for the Flash Player to send binary data objects via binary to and 
from the server.  It can serialize  deserialize these objects to  from the 
AMF0  AMF3 binary format.  It sends this information via the rtmp TCP/IP 
proprietary protocol that is built into the Flash Player.  Second, Flash 
Remoting is the server-side portion that can speak  understand AMF0 and/or 
AMF3.  This allows the client and server to exchange not only native 
data-types that each can understand, but also custom ValueObjects, or Class 
instances.  So a String in Flash is a String in CF, an Array in Flash is a 
List in Java for example.  You can also utilize custom classes if the class 
is registered via Object.registerClass (forget what it is in Flex 2).

ColdFusion pre 7.0.2 has had the ability to speak AMF (aka the ability to 
utilize Remoting).  It, however, had some f'ed up rules and weird 
intracacies on getting it to work, and could not use custom classes, only 
strings, numbers, arrays, and vanilla Objects, and only unders certain 
conditions could it use Objects (HashMaps).  As such, since the Flash Player 
9 is backwards compatible via ObjectEncoding, Flex 2 can still talk to older 
CFC's via Flash Remoting.  Thus, you can still use RemoteObject, although, I 
haven't tested because for an existing project, both CF  Flex will be 
upgraded, negating the need to worry about AMF0.

RemoteObject in Flex 1.5 and below is really a wrapper class for Remoting. 
Where Flash IDE  Flash Player 8 is concerned HTTPService is the equivalent 
to LoadVars, WebService the same, and RemoteObject is equivalent to Service. 
Granted, Flex' versions have significantly more helpful features added to 
them like the built-in server proxy to get around Flash Player's security 
sandbox, the busy cursor, etc.

Make no mistake, though, RemoteObject IS Flash Remoting, and Flash Remoting 
IS RemoteObject.  If your server doesn't speak Flash Remoting, you can't use 
RemoteObject.

I believe in my tests with AMFPHP that RemoteObject does support setting 
it's encoding to AMF0; 70% sure, beta 1 code, and haven't looked at it in 
awhile.

FDS, or Flex Data Services, is seperate from ColdFusion.  It's basically 
Flex Server 2, with a bunch of new features.  The fact that it has Flash 
Remoting is really a fallback technology, and not an intrinsic feature.  For 
example, you're SUPPOSED to use it with JMS, or your custom messaging 
solution, allowing real-time communication.  The AMF  XML fallbacks, both 
polling, are merely used when the JMS service is down.  So, you don't get 
FDS to get Remoting, you get FDS to get the real-time messaging 
capabilities.  You're goal is not to use FDS to make service calls, your 
goal is to get Data synchronization, clustering, real-time push, and all 
those other things Steven Webster articualted in an earlier email thread 
(sorry don't have the link handy).

Therefore, if you have no intention of using Hiberate, and real-time 
communication, there is no point for FDS if all you want to do is call CFC 
remote methods.

Make sense?  Did I answer your questions?

[flexcoders] Eclipse: Flex and CFC perspectives help

2006-07-24 Thread Rick Schmitty
I'm sure there is an easy answer to this... but I cannot get it to
work.  When I define a new Flex project, I link my cfc component path
in the project as well.  I have CFEclipse installed on Flex Builder,
and it recognizes the .cfc files as being from that Perspective but
the code formatting/completion does not trigger.

I even do a manual switch perspectives, the view changes (outline etc
goes to the right bar) but still no color coding or auto complete

Is there something special to do?

[flexcoders] ValidationResultEvent class: How to access name of form field?

2006-07-24 Thread dadrobson
I understand that the Validator.validateAll() method returns an array
of ValidationResultEvent objects. 

My question is, how do I access the name of the field that failed
validation? According to the docs, the field property of the
ValidationResultEvent object supplies this. But when I reference this
property, I consistently get null, even though I specified the name
attribute of each form field.

What am I missing? (code below)

// Step 1: Handle Save button click
private function saveProfile():void {
// Validate all fields before submitting data
var arr:Array = Validator.validateAll(arrValidators);
// If the array returned by validateAll is not
// empty, then something failed validation
if(arr.length){
// Invoke a function to display the error messages 
// (see below for function definition)
displayValidationErrors(arr);
}else{
// submit form data
}
}

// Show results of call to validateAll
private function displayValidationErrors(arr:Array):void {
var str:String = Please correct the following:\n\n;
for (var i:int = 0; i  arr.length; i++){
// This always prints null message:
// Why? How do I get it to print the
// name of the field?
str += arr[i].field +  message: ; 
// This prints the correct message, but does 
// not indicate which field the message
// is referring to
str += arr[i].message + \n\n; 
}
Alert.show(str,Form Validation Message);
}

RemoteObject is certainly there and only requires a remoting gateway.http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/mx/rpc/remoting/mxml/RemoteObject.html
You can use Flash Remoting or the Flash Gateway in CFMX or OpenAMF. I have not used OpenAMF with the AMF3, so I'm not positive that it works. I remember seeing posting that it does though.HTHRegards,

Jessie,

Thanks for takng the time to craft your excellent explanation. In the
Flex2 docs it makes a big deal about how RemoteObject is only available
via FDS. But I completely understand that RemoteObject is just a wrapper
for remoting and in fact I kinda treated it that way in Flex 1.5 by
creating a custom AS class to persist the created service and re-use it
repeatedly.

[flexcoders] Reference to View Stack Failing

The following compiles fine, but at run time, when the function gets

Any ideas?

Subject: [flexcoders] Populating
ComboBox from Model/XML











Hi, newbie question here ... just learning. I'm using
Flex 2. There seem to be numerous errors and typos in the Adobe Flex Help
files/PDFs and I'm hitting a snag here ...

What I'd like to do, to begin with, is to populate a ComboBox from an external
XML file. The section in the help files called Populating a ComboBox
control using variables and models seems pertinent, but the second part
of example doesn't work.

The relevant code is this ...

mx:Model id=myDP
obj
item label=AL data=""
w:st="on">Montgomery/
item
labelAK/label
dataJuneau/data
/item
item
labelAR/label
dataLittle Rock/data
/item
/obj
/mx:Model

mx:ArrayCollection id=stateAC source={myDP.obj.item}/

mx:ComboBox dataProvider={stateAC}/

Should I be using XML or XMLList instead? Later I'd like to have the
dataProvider be from an external source (HTTPService or WebService), but I
can't even get this simpler code to work. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Local Connection VS. SWF Loader

2006-07-24 Thread JesterXL
Sounds to me like you are not cleaning up your SWF.  If you are going to 
unload it, make sure you disconnect (in a manner of speaking) and delete all 
LocalConnection stuff before unloading the SWF.  If you don't, it may not 
work till the Garbage Collector comes along and forcefully removes the 
LocalConnection.  Just guessing that's the problem.

Subject: [flexcoders] Local Connection VS. SWF Loader


Just gonna throw this out there, in case it was missed by someone who
might be able to help.

SWF Loader in Flex App, loads initial swf and local connection works
perfect to stop / play / pause swf.  As soon as new swf is loaded
into SWF Loader at runtime...local connection no longer works.  I
assume it is not the sending local connection as the event listener
returns status (no errors).  So i guess it might be swf Loader not
loading swf properly or unloading previous swf...anyway gonna post
the code so you all can see.  The swf basically has actions layers
with corresponding functions (stop function etc...)

[flexcoders] Re: Still Fuzzy about Flex 2.0 and CFCs

2006-07-24 Thread dcooper2025
WRT Remote Object: with ColdFusion 7.0.2, you get Flash Remoting for 
free.  With a Java or other backend, you'll need FDS, correct.  CF 
7.0.2 includes parts of the Flex implementation natively that 
support Remote Object calls, data type marshalling, security, CFC 
mapping, etc.

The CF Flex Builder plugins also can auto-generate your AS3 and CFC 
VO's for you by right-clicking on a DB table in the CF RDS 
View...presto-magic.

You can also auto-generate the entire FDS Assembler CFC-based 
backend via the same method (many 100's of lines of pre-tested best-
pratice code is generated for you...just wire up the UI and off you 
go.

 Just to be clear, you don't need FDS to use AMF3  ColdFusion's

 I'm with you on price, though.  They'll end up paying more in the

 you 
 spend copious amounts of time writing ValueObject conversion code, 
and 
 debugging string vs. number conversion errors, but it's hard to

 without someone who can clearly articulate to the client by

 more 
 money up front, they'll save money in the end.

 Flex 2 can utilize AMF0 or AMF3; you just set the ObjectEncoding.
 
 CF 7.0.2 can use AMF3; anything before only AMF0.

[flexcoders] Local Connection VS. SWF Loader

2006-07-24 Thread flexnewbie06
Just gonna throw this out there, in case it was missed by someone who 
might be able to help.

SWF Loader in Flex App, loads initial swf and local connection works 
perfect to stop / play / pause swf.  As soon as new swf is loaded 
into SWF Loader at runtime...local connection no longer works.  I 
assume it is not the sending local connection as the event listener 
returns status (no errors).  So i guess it might be swf Loader not 
loading swf properly or unloading previous swf...anyway gonna post 
the code so you all can see.  The swf basically has actions layers 
with corresponding functions (stop function etc...)

THANKS!

Re: [flexcoders] Reference to View Stack Failing

2006-07-24 Thread Jeff Tapper
it would probably be helpful if you sent a larger snippet of code.  the 
error implies the view stack hasnt been created at the time the whatsNext 
method is called.
So, this inherently leads to a few questions...

How is the ViewStack instantiated?  Is it a direct child of the 
Application?  Is it created in a ViewState with addChild?  Is it in another 
viewStack?
How is whatsNext called?  When is it first called?

At 03:49 PM 7/24/2006, you wrote:

Yes, all the custom components are from the demand namespace and are
Panels. They all load fine, it's the reference to the view stack
itself that is failing,.
  Are the custom components used from the demand namespace containers?
  ViewStack requires them to be container components.
 
  Make sure all of the components used in the ViewStack extend a
  container component. That should solve your problem
They do, unless I'm misunderstanding you. All the referenced
components are Panels..

[flexcoders] Bug in FlexBuilder 2 New Project Wizard: Doesn't recognize server root

2006-07-24 Thread dadrobson
I installed FDS, following the instructions for Tomcat (copied the WAR
files into the webapps folder and restarted Tomcat, then confirmed
that the directories were created). 

I restarted my box, restarted Tomcat again, opened Flex Builder 2.0, then:
1. File - New - Flex Project
2. Selected Flex Data Services and Compile application locally in Flex
Builder, clicked Next
3. Deselected Use default location for local Flex Data Services server
4. Browsed to C:\tomcat\webapps\flex and selected this folder
5. Clicked Validate Location and got the following error: Invalid
server root. Server root must contain a WEB-INF/flex folder.
6. I navigated to C:\tomcat\webapps\flex and confirmed that it does in
fact contain a WEB-INF folder, which in turn contains a flex folder.
7. The wizard will not allow me to proceed. The Next and Finish
buttons are grayed out; my options are Back and Cancel.

Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?

Re: [flexcoders] Embbeding a Flash CFReport inside a Flex App

2006-07-24 Thread Nick Collins



I've been able to have it in there using both the image component or the SWFloader by simply specifying the source as my CFR file, since it returns a SWF. The problem I had is with scaling. When you view the CFR in the browser from a CF server, the controls are a toolbar along the top that stays the same size regardless of browser scaling. However when placed into a flex app, the swf is relatively very small, and when you scale it, it scaled the whole thing, making for a very large FlashPaper toolbar.
Maybe this will point you in the right direction if you can figure out a solution to scaling problem. If you do,please share! :-)NickOn 7/23/06,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Builder 2 RDS Connection problems

I had similar problems, and what it turned out to be is that in the preferences window, under RDS configuration, the port number was set by default to the port for the standalone CF server, not one connected to another web server. I simply changed the port to port 80 and it worked.

Therefore, FlexBuilder 2 definitely wants an ip address only.

RE: [flexcoders] concise explanation of sizing (measured, explicit, preferred) custom components

2006-07-24 Thread Gordon Smith












When the LayoutManager sizes a component,
it considers three inputs (measuredWidth, percentWidth, and explicitWidth) --
and produces one output (width).



The measuredWidth is the component's own
notion of how big it should be by default. You don't set the measuredWidth; it
is up to the component to do this itself in its measure() method. For example,
a Button automatically sets its measuredWidth to be just big enough to display
its label.



If you want to override the measuredWidth
so that the component's output width is a percentage of its parent's available
width, set percentWidth. Setting the 'width' to a percent (which you can do in
MXML but not in AS) is simply a shorthand for setting the percentWidth. When
the LayoutManager computes the output width based on the percentWidth, it will
take the minWidth into account.



If you want to override the measuredWidth
so that the component's output width is a fixed number of pixels, set
explicitWidth. Setting the 'width' to a number of pixels is simply a shorthand
for setting the explicitWidth.

I'm setting them and HOW Flex uses them:

( ... means Height or Width. I DO understand that those
mean! : ))
- measured...
- measuredPreferred...
- explicit...
- ...

Thanks for any leads or any explanations you can give me!

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 final XML attributes

2006-07-24 Thread Gordon Smith












 am i right?



No, you can use E4X to get the names and values of XML
attributes. Here is an example:



 var people:XML =

 people

 person firstName=Gordon
lastName=Smith/

 person firstName=Bod
lastName=Unknown/

 /people;

 

 // Loop over the person elements.

 for each (var person:XML in people..person)

 {

 // Loop over the attributes of a
person, outputting the name and value of each one.

 var attributes:XMLList = [EMAIL PROTECTED];

 for each (var attribute:XML in attributes)

 {

 trace(attribute.name(), attribute);

 }

 }

Hi

just wondered, the XML.attributes() method only list the values of all

how can i get a list of name/value pairs of all the attributes.

this is possible using XmlDocument class but not with the new XML 
class.

am i right?

[flexcoders] stage.focus problem with input fields

2006-07-24 Thread Rick Schmitty
I'm having display issues after using stage.focus.  I have a component
that I'd like to switch from a button click to textInput as part of
the functionality.  The highlighted portion of the inputText varies
based on the last 'known' (?) size.  I've tried invalidating
everything I can think of but I must be missing something

If you run this example, and click the radio buttons in order you will
see that the focus box of the textInput is set to the size of the last
.text value and not its current .text value.  If you go in reverse, it
appears to work but only because its going from larger to smaller :)


?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
mx:Script
![CDATA[
private function onClick(str:String):void {
inputField.text=str;
inputField.invalidateDisplayList();
inputField.invalidateProperties();
inputField.invalidateSize();
invalidateDisplayList();
invalidateProperties();
invalidateSize();
stage.focus=inputField;
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:TextInput id=inputField/

mx:RadioButton label=A click=onClick('A')/
mx:RadioButton label=ABC click=onClick('ABC')/
mx:RadioButton label=ABCasdfasdf click=onClick('ABCasdfasdf')/

/mx:Application


Any ideas?

[flexcoders] Photoviewer example--why no access to class variables?

2006-07-24 Thread wayneposner
Howdy all...

I'm hoping someone can clear up a little confusion of mine:

In the photoviewer example that comes with Flex 2, why can you only 
get to the data of the instatiated PhotoService class via mx tags, 
but when you try to access any of the object via actionscript they 
always show up as null?

For example

mx:Binding source=service.galleries.getItemAt(0) 
destination=gallery /

works fine, but if you tried to do:

var o:Object=service.galleries.getItemAt(0), 

o would be null (provided there were no cast exceptions).

Thanks!
Wayne

[flexcoders] Flex2 on CFMX

2006-07-24 Thread balconsult2001
Well, according to the technote (http://www.adobe.com/go/4f079a4d) the
combining of the flex and cf is no longer supported.

Can anyone (Adobe), publish an updated, step by step instruction to
getting a CFMX7, Flex2, and JRun4 installation up and running?

I deploy an application that uses all 3 components mentioned, with CF
driving and utilizing Flex 1.5 API's that are embedded in my CF programs.

Well, it appears as if Adobe has updated the technote to configure
Flex and ColdFusion. Stating that it does not support the combining of
the two anymore. See http://www.adobe.com/go/4f079a4d

So, can anyone (Adobe) provide step by step, updated instructions for
configuring a Flex2, CFMX7, and JRun4 installation? Where CF can talk
to Flex and Flex can talk to CF.

I'm trying to figure out where to begin in my migration to Flex2. I

the Flex 1.5 API embedded inside my CFM files.

Re: [flexcoders] tracing into SDK

2006-07-24 Thread Pan Troglodytes



Well, to answer my own question, its SORTA obvious. You can place breakpoints in the SDK libraries. You just have to do it through keystrokes, and since it doesn't show the line numbers, there is no visual feedback (bad). But if you look in the Breakpoints window, it set one. And when you run the program, it will stop there.
On 7/21/06, Pan Troglodytes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Heh, I think you're missing the point. Have you ever opened an SDK file in FB? Notice that tons of stuff no longer works in that window. They don't even have line numbers, for crying out loud. And you sure can't set breakpoints on them, so tracing is right out. Unless someone knows of some way to get it to happen, which is what I'm hoping. I'm looking forward to what Dominick says, even though I have no idea what he is talking about with the attaching thing. ;)

They are in VBoxes.  I tried adding

the NumericStepper(called ns1), but that didn't work.  (remember, you

 I found a strange behavior with NumericSteppers and DateFields that are
 in AddChilds with creationPolicies of all.  If you view the below swf
 and click the state2 button, you can see that the calendar icon in the
 DateField and the NumericStepper's stepper buttons are shrunk from their
 normal size.  You can also right-click on the swf and select View
 Source to recreate the problem.
 
 If you do experiment with this, you can make state1's NumericStepper and
 DateField shrink by setting state2 as the currentState on the
 Application tag.
 
 This seems like a bug or is there something I don't understand about
 creationPolicy?

[flexcoders] equivalent binding using BindingUtils

2006-07-24 Thread Pan Troglodytes



I'm trying to figure out how to do an equivalent MXML binding in AS using BindingUtils. It's part of a datagrid item renderer. There MXML looks like this:

 mx:Label id=lbl text={listData.label}/

While that does warn about listData.label not being bindable, it does work (at least for the initial load). Here's what I'm trying to do to do this in AS for another component that is written in AS:
 lbl = new Label(); BindingUtils.bindProperty(lbl, text, lbl, [listData, label]);
This doesn't work. I can think of several ways I can do this by overriding different functions, but I'm wondering why this binding doesn't work like it does in MXML.

[flexcoders] Re: QuickDateFormatter - how can I make it MXML enabled?

2006-07-24 Thread gotgoose09
First of all, I would read Creating and Extending Flex 2 Components 
Creating Nonvisual Flex Components  Creating Custom Formatters 
Creating a custom formatter in the documentation.

The documentation for DateFormatter says that it has a formatString
variable, so you can get rid of str_dateFormat and just use formatString
on your tag.  Also, the correct function to override in your custom
formatter is format() so you can replace getFormattedDate() with:

override public function format(value:Object):String
{
 return super.format(value);
}

Then, you can add this public getter function to bind your
str_formattedDate.

public function get formattedDate():String
{
 return format(str_dateString);
}

Then, change {qdf.str_formattedDate} to {qdf.formattedDate}.  I believe
this should work, report back if you encounter any problems.

Re: [flexcoders] How does attachMovie work?

2006-07-24 Thread G
Thank you for this detailed explanation.  The
confusion for me is that attachMovie creates an
instance of the object with the new name given--that's
what the documentation and all the examples say.  But
that name is not known to the flex compiler, so you
can't do this:

_root.attachMovie(objFromLibrary, newObjInst);
newObjInst.getSomeProperty();

Flex says it doesn't know what newObjInst is.

From the two URLs you sent me, it looks like this is
where Object.registerClass comes in?  You've put me on
the right track, but I'm still not quite there...any
additional explanation or an example would be great!

We're not in any hurry to move to Flex 2.  We'll wait
and see how it goes.

 and none of the above should you care about unless
 you're nostalgic or an f'n geek.

. . . or you're trying to embed images in one SWF and
access them from another.

Re: [flexcoders] Anyone know the answer? Embed images in one MovieClip, use in another?

2006-07-24 Thread G
Hi Jester--

Your example here is exactly what we don't want to do.
 We don't want to embed all the images we need into
the swf--it makes the file size too big.

However, we don't want to load the images dynamically
each time we need them--that's too slow.

Our application is a game that uses pictures.  Players
play the game for a while with one set of images, then
they change to a new set of images.

What we want is to have something like sets of
images that we can load one time then use repeatedly. 
So when the player first starts the game, they will
get the images from Set1.swf (for example).  Then when
it's time to change images, we will load a new set,
Set2.swf, etc.

We only want to load the new images one time, because
we have to change the source property of Image tags
repeatedly, and this is costly.

If you know another way to do this from what I am
asking about, please tell me!  But what we are
wondering is if it's possible to load a swf containing
embedded images, then use those images in the loading
(host) swf?

Thank you!


Greg

 This line:

 does not load a swf file containing the embedded
 image
 into my application?  That is news to me.
 
 The reason I want to do it is irrelevant to my
 question, but here it is:  We have an animation that
 loads many images at once (external images).  Even
 with the images in the browser's cache it is
 drastically slowing down the application.
 
 That embedded images are not loaded is exactly the
 point.  We want to load a swf with several images
 embedded in it, then use those images in the
 animation.  The point is, we want to load the images
 dynamically (externally), but not every time we
 change
 the source of Image.  Just one time, ahead of time.
 
 Since when an Image loads an embedded image, we
 are
 not actually loading it at all, we are hoping we can
 load the container swf one time, then use its images
 as embedded images--thus avoiding the immediate load
 time every time we change source.
 
 What we want to do, in a nutshell, is load images
 dynamically, but all at once, and then just attach
 them from that moment on.
 
 The question is, can we attach an image embedded in
 the container swf into the loader swf, avoiding the
 external image load?  HOW?  The relationship between
 attachMovie and Image is very murky.
 
 An example, perhaps based on the code below, would
 be
 very nice, very helpful.  You seem to know a lot
 about
 Flex and Flash, can you help, please?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Acegi/Spring/Flex authentication

2006-07-24 Thread Allen Riddle












We are using that exact combination. Nothing
special had to be done. We just have Flex use an HttpService to log in (points
to your Acegi authentication endpoint), and Flex then uses the cookie thats
returned. After that, all SOAP calls are secured by Acegi. If youre
wanting to use Acegi to try to secure youre actual SWF files, then youd
just need to put the url pattern of the .swf in the Aecegi configuration, so it
will secure it.

Hi Robert,
On the server side you can design your data model as a relational 
database. In your case, the flat tables would be:
Group: groupId, groupName
Product: productId, groupId, 
productName, imageURL, price
Model: modelId, productId, color
This is a similar structure to the VO, but isn't limited to one VO 
definition.Youcan construct and deconstruct the 
VO's sent and receivedfrom the application with either SQL queries, stored 
procedures, CFC's, or whatever method your server side technolgy 
uses. This is just one approach; java-based back-ends can be a 
little more integrated. But, by keeping the server-side data in relational

[flexcoders] AS2 - AS3 Question - onReleaseOutside()?

2006-07-24 Thread fuad_kamal
There's a doc out on AS2 - AS3 conversions:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/migration.html

For the AS2 onReleaseOutside() EventHandler it says this is now
handlded  by a mouseUp event after a call to
flash.display.InteractiveObject.setCapture().  However, I don't find
any setCapture() method or inherited method on
InteractiveObject...anyone have a clue?

[flexcoders] has anyone ever disabled selectability for a textArea??

2006-07-24 Thread JClouz





I'm sorry to be a bother but this seems like it 
should be so easy but its driving me nuts.

I want to get rid of selectability/i-beam mouseover 
cursor on a textArea field.

With a Text component, you just set. 
myText.selectability = false.

How do I do it for a textArea field? Can it 
be done? I want to use textArea instead of text becauseI need a 
background.
Please help!!!

Thanks so much.

[flexcoders] Returning query results to flex from CFC

2006-07-24 Thread michrx7
I am trying to populate a datagrid with results from a cfc. This 
should be simple. I have written the simply Hello World cfc and 
gotten the string to display, but am really struggling getting a 
query to return and display. If someone would help it would be 
appreciated.

Here is my CFC (getInfo.cfc):
CFCOMPONENT displayname=admin_rpt_AllMembers
CFFUNCTION name=getCompany access=remote 
returntype=query
CFQUERY datasource=myDatabase name=getMem
SELECT cvcontactID, cvcontactLast, 
cvcontactFirst FROM cvContact
/CFQUERY
CFRETURN getMem
/CFFUNCTION
/CFCOMPONENT

Pretty straightforward as I'm only selecting some simple info out of 
the database.

Now I have my flex app that should call the cfc, return the query, 
and list the info into a simple datagrid. Now I know it's making the 
calls to the cfc (using simple Alert.show() calls), but I can't get 
the data to display.

Here is my mxml flex file:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; 
layout=vertical creationComplete=initApp();
  mx:Script
  ![CDATA[
 import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
 import mx.rpc.events.*;
 import mx.controls.Alert;
 
 [Bindable]
 public var companyInfo:ArrayCollection = null;


 public function initApp():void
 {
myService.getCompany();
 }
 
 public function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
 {
var p1:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
p1.source = event.result as Array;
companyInfo = p1;
 }

  ]]
  /mx:Script

   mx:RemoteObject id=myService destination=ColdFusion 
source=admin_rpt_AllMembers showBusyCursor=true
   
mx:method name=getCompany result=resultHandler
(event) fault=Alert.show(event.fault.message)/

   /mx:RemoteObject
   
mx:DataGrid name=myGrid id=myGrid width=100% 
height=100% dataProvider={companyInfo}
  mx:columns
 mx:DataGridColumn headerText=ID dataField=cvcontactID/
 mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Last Name 
dataField=cvcontactLast/
 mx:DataGridColumn headerText=First Name 
dataField=cvcontactFirst/
  /mx:columns
   /mx:DataGrid
   
   mx:Button click=initApp()/
   
/mx:Application

I am completely at a loss right now on where to try and change 
anything. Thanks for the help in advance.
