I dont use AMFPHP to comunicate with Flex, AMFPHP its a good solution
but I prefer to make all server scripts by myself, also if you send a
 lot of registers to a datagrid in XML format the amount of bytes is
too high, if you send registers in your propietry way you send less
data but you have to transform in the client.
Here you have a sample filling a ComboBox:

PHP send this (each line is a register):
field1|field2|field3|
field1|field2|field3|
field1|field2|field3|

At Flex:

hs is a HTTPService instance

private function getResult(event:Event):void{
switch(this.hs.resultFormat){
case 'object':
// In this case the PHP sent one XML
this.dataProvider=hs.lastResult.item;
break;
case 'text':
// In this case PHP sent registers whose fields are separated by '|'
character
if(this.hs.lastResult!=''){
var a:Array=this.hs.lastResult.split('|');
var b:Array=new Array();
for(var x:Number=0;xa.length;x+=2){
b[b.length]={label:a[x],value:a[x+1]};
}
this.dataProvider=b;
}
break;
}
}

 Hi!
 
 I'm using php as my server pages while flex is used for presentation
 logic. What bugs me the most is the exchange of data between PHP and
 Flex. I always have to generate a XML file and then passed it to Flex.
 Can this be done any simplier and faster? How about passing mysql data
 results from PHP directly to Flex without the hasle of transforming it
 to XML? Is AMFPHP the right tool for this job?

[flexcoders] Re: php and flex

2006-07-30 Thread Dave Wolf

Its worth noting that very often what is perceived as server-push is
actually implemented through some form of client-pull.  For instance,
in many enterprise message bus implementations, the client makes a
single blocking call which hangs, but does so on an independant
thread.  When the event occurs, the servant returns control and
marshalls results to the waiting client.  From the outside this
appears the server pushed data to the client.  In reality the client
pulled it.

The reason I bring this up is that Flex is a great client to implement
just such a server-push approach with.  Since all mx:HttpService/
calls occur on their own client thread, you can easily implement
server-push style functionality with basically any kind of servant
implementation. 

We used to call this approach a Blocking Registration.

[flexcoders] Cairngorm - Invoking screens

2006-07-30 Thread Wally Randall

I am confused about how to structure Cairngorm screens for display. 

The examples I have seen are extremely simple and do not show how 
Cairngorm will scale for large applications.

Benoits phones example only shows a single list form with a detail form 
added.  How are people constructing multiple form applications?

Are you using separate states for the views with included view 
files?  How are you invoking screens?  

We need some more sample applications PLEASE!  Flex and actionscript 
are complex enough to learn but Cairngorm requires some more tutorials 
and samples to figure out.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: DataProvider on DataGrid access by index

2006-07-30 Thread Jeff Tapper

Do you mean by the index of the column or index of the row?

Within the row of the selectedItem, you could get the values of each column 
doing something like this (note, this is written in email client, not FB, 
so typos are not only possible, they are likely):
var row:Object = dg.selectedItem;
var cols:Array = dg.columns;
for(var i:int=0;icolumns.length;i++){
 var col:DataGridColum = dg.columns[i];
 var colProp:String = col.dataField;
 var thisColsVal = row[colProp];
}

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm - Invoking screens

2006-07-30 Thread Mike Britton

Building a larger application involves a combination of view states
and MXML components.  Take JesterXL's Amazon search example:

http://www.jessewarden.com/archives/2006/07/flex_2_webservice.html

In this example, you can see the use of view states.  This is how many
screens can be combined into one.  I definitely suggest you look at
States in the Flex help.

In the same example, a modal window is used to show debugging info.
The same technique can load in forms in the form of MXML components.
You can have a directory of forms, each one something like this:

!-- windowView.mxml --
?xml version=1.0?
mx:TitleWindow
showCloseButton=true close=PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);
creationComplete=initApp();
xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;

private function initApp():void {
this.title = Job Listing;
}
private function cancel():void {
PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);

}
]]
/mx:Script

mx:VBox verticalAlign=top width=100% height=100%
verticalGap=10 paddingBottom=5 paddingLeft=5 paddingRight=5
paddingTop=5 x=4 y=4
mx:Form width=100% height=100%
mx:FormItem label=Location:
mx:Label text=Albany, NY width=100%/
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem label=Job Type:
mx:Label text=Contract width=100%/
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem label=URL:
mx:Label text=http://www.epicenterconsulting.com;
width=100%/
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem label=Description:
mx:TextArea wordWrap=true text=dolor sit amet,
consectetuer adipiscing elit. Donec diam tortor, viverra vitae,
vestibulum in, molestie posuere, felis. Morbi posuere interdum nulla.
Aenean libero pede, pretium lacinia, consectetuer in, vehicula non,
enim. Morbi at enim.. width=200 height=200/
/mx:FormItem
mx:FormItem label=Apply:
mx:Label htmlText=dolor sit amet,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] width=100%/
/mx:FormItem
/mx:Form
/mx:VBox
/mx:TitleWindow

Then you can invoke this window from your main.mxml:

private function showModalWindow():void {
 myModal = TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, windowView, 
true));
 myModal.width = 440;
 myModal.height = 465;
 myModal.x = 0;
 myModal.y = 0;
 myModal.addEventListener(mouseDownOutside, enableAll);
}

Combine this technique with States and a TabNavigator and you have a
lot of room to build a large app.  I'm in the same boat as you,
learning Cairngorm by examples and by reading the list and
experimenting.  The learning curve is fairly steep, and without the
help of examples, putting the pieces together can be a slow process.
You aren't alone, but it can feel like it sometimes.  As I learn new
stuff I'll be sure to post tutes on my blog for people to check out.
I also recommend checking all the examples at Adobe -- Mike Potter's,
etc -- they are extremely helpful.

hth,

Mike Britton

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm: Managing Popup Windows






I stand corrected. A purist would argue that 
you should figure out why the row heights aren't working, but I'm with you; if 
it works, and gets done quickly, who cares?

 Flexcoders Frequently Asked Questions
  Last Updated: 30th May 2005

 Contributors:

Matt Chotin, Steven Webster, Alistair McLeod, Tariq Ahmed, Jeff Tapper,
 Peter Farland, Abdul Qabiz, Tracy Spratt, Jesse Warden, Dan Harfleet,
  Manish Jethani, Dimitrios Gianninas


1. What is Flexcoders?
2. How does Flexcoders relate to the Macromedia Flex Forum on
   www.macromedia.com?
3. Who posts to Flexcoders?
4. Resources to check before asking a question
5. Guidelines for effective question-asking
6. FAQ


1. What is Flexcoders?

Flexcoders is a forum where developers can ask questions about Flex,
FlexBuilder, and Flex-related technologies (like Cairngorm, FlexUnit and
SynergyFLEX).  The community is made up of everyday Flex developers as
well as Macromedia employees. However, this is not an official
Macromedia-sponsored forum, it is actually moderated by the folks at
iteration::two, a consultancy responsible for authoring the book
Developing Rich Internet Applications with Macromedia Flex.


2. How does Flexcoders relate to the Macromedia Flex Forum on
   www.macromedia.com?

Both the Macromedia Flex Forum and Flexcoders provide help on issues
related to Flex, and neither is an official support mechanism.  Some
people monitor both forums, some only one.  It is up to you to decide
where you might have a better experience getting a question answered and
being able to subsequently help others.


3. Who posts to Flexcoders?

Everyone who has a question or an answer.  Many members of the Flex
development team read and respond to Flexcoders as well as other
Macromedia folks who monitor the community.

Some recurring Macromedia folks are:

David Mendels: EVP and GM, highest-level executive in charge of Flex.
Lucian Beebe: Sr. Product Manager, Flex. Matt Chotin, Manish Jethani,
Abdul Qabiz, Gordon Smith, Peter Farland and many more: Engineers on
Flex.

Active community members include:

Steven Webster (Technical Director at iteration::two and co-author of
Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex), Alistair McLeod
(Development Director at iteration::two and co-author of Developing Rich
Clients with Macromedia Flex), Jesse Warden (JesterXL - Flash badass
playing with Flex), Tracy Spratt (long-time member, holder of all
knowledge related to 32K limits), Jeff Steiner (maintainer of
www.flexauthority.com), Tariq Ahmed (maintainer of www.cflex.net), Jimmy
Gianninas (long-time member, developer at Optimal Payments).

And so many more!


4. Resources to check before asking a question

The Flexcoders Mail Archive (better searching than YahooGroups):
http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com

http://www.cflex.net/showfaq.cfm
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/asdocs_en/index.html
http://www.macromedia.com/go/flex15_java_livedocs
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm
http://www.cflex.net http://www.flexauthority.com
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flex http://coenraets.com
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mxna/ http://www.google.com 

The Book Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex (check your
favorite bookstore)



5. Guidelines to effective question-asking

Include a useful subject; this will help people find their own questions
and answers later.

Explain what you are trying to accomplish.

Explain the error (include compilation errors or a description of the
runtime behavior).

Be prepared to break your problem down into a simpler scenario in case
someone wants to try to debug the code themselves.  Remember, private
web services are inaccessible; you may need to create some dummy data to
emulate problems.

Phrases to avoid:

URGENT (we all have deadlines, no one is intentionally delaying a
response to you)

Please send code (this is very frustrating to read as it implies you
aren't interested in learning anything on your own.  Where code is
appropriate you can expect someone to provide it, but in many cases you
will learn more by doing it on your own with appropriate guidance.  It
may be that you're on a deadline and just want to finish, but many of
those who respond regularly would prefer to teach you to fish so that
you can answer your own questions next time and even help out others).


6. Mini-FAQ



Q: Can I mail Matt, Manish, Abdul, Pete, Gordon, iteration::two, or
anyone else for that matter off-line with my question?

A: Please don't!  If someone is capable of answering your question on-
list please believe that it will be done.  Everyone on the list has
full-time jobs doing their own work and often answer flexcoders on their
own time; mailing them off- list doesnt endear you to them.  If no one
answers on-list in a reasonable amount of time (24 hours) you can try to
rephrase the question and perhaps include more detail (including a
version of the problem that someone can run without doing any setup on
their own

RE: [flexcoders] File - flexcodersFAQ.txt

2006-07-30 Thread Steven Webster

So before half of the flexcoders mailing list mails me and tells me the
FAQ is out of date (and they told me last month) I know, and I'll do my
best to update it before it comes out again.

Volunteers from the community, welcomed :)  Fame and fortune is yours
(and I may even buy you a beer at MAX) if you take on board this task
... Mr Chotin.

Steven

I get it!!

This code traverse the selected row of a DataGrid, get the dataField
of each column and its value.

var fieldname:String = new String();
for( var i:Number=0; imydatagrid.columns.length; i++ ){
fieldname = mydatagrid.columns[i].dataField;
Alert.show( mydatagrid.dataProvider[mydatagrid.selectedIndices][
fieldname ] );
}

 Yes,
 
 I see the definition but with most XML parse errors (not just flex),
 the error messages are difficult to track down. It is telling me that
 it cannot add the node . I'll get the exact error message and
post
 it later tonight. I'd prefer to use a WebService rather than an Service.

is an
   XML parsing error in the wsdl file. It this point, I am leaning
   towards using simple XML since I can generate that if needed.
Other
   than download and testing SOAP wsdl validators and making sure
it is
   standard, i think the only other option is the straight XML.

 On the Web Server side, I am looking for client

 Is there anything that looks odd with the WebService

elect to use the proxt, the whitelist does not come into play and 
crossdomain.xml does.

RE: [flexcoders] Cairngorm - Invoking screens

2006-07-30 Thread Steven Webster






Hi Guys,
Cairngorm is 
purposefully non-prescriptive about the way you choose to implement the view; so 
we would neither advocate that you do so using States, nor advocate that you 
don't.This is one of our core-values 
in being able to call ourselves a "lightweight architecture" - that we are not 
enforcing upon developers the way they structure their MXML that implements the 
overall user-experience.

Typically to date, we(iteration::two / Adobe Consulting EMEA) haven't 
leveraged States formulti-screen 
Cairngorm applications, preferring instead to use Stateswhere we have transitions within a complex MXML 
component (which can live both within and outwith a Cairngorm application - 
components shouldn't depend upon Cairngorm to be reusable).

When you are building applicaitons witha number of 
different views, the decisions that you make to structure these applications are 
irrespective of the fact that you are or are not using Cairngorm. I could 
certainly advocate best-practices in doing so - and will try and do so in a blog 
entry or other post - but don't be mistaken because you are using Cairngorm that 
there is a prescribed way for building applications with multiple or large 
numbers of views. In the end, the patterns are repeatable - whether you 
have 1 view or 100 views bound to a model locator class, and whether you have 1 
view or 100 views that are responsible in some way for notifying the controller 
of a user-gesture by broadcasting an event. Make sense 
?

I can't recall if my presentation from MAX2005 is archived 
online or not - but if it is, I covered this idea of architecting the view in 
that presentation; come to think of it, the structure of that presentation was 
the basis for the 6-part article on devnet, which you can find linked on www.adobe.com/go/cairngorm/

So you're free to build your view however you like - and 
leverage whatever best practices the community has to offer you. 


Cairngorm will form the bedrock (*) of your underlying 
application whatever decisions you make.

Best,

Steven
(*) Subtle Cairngorm pun in there...

Great reply Mike.  That is the most complete answer I have ever 
received on this list!  Thanks.  It gives me exactly what I need to 
proceed.

 mx:FormItem label=Apply:
 mx:Label htmlText=dolor sit amet,
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] width=100%/
 /mx:FormItem
 /mx:Form
 /mx:VBox
 /mx:TitleWindow
 
 Then you can invoke this window from your main.mxml:
 
 private function showModalWindow():void {
myModal = TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, 
windowView, true));
myModal.width = 440;
myModal.height = 465;
myModal.x = 0;
myModal.y = 0;
myModal.addEventListener(mouseDownOutside, enableAll);
 }
 
 Combine this technique with States and a TabNavigator and you have 
a
 lot of room to build a large app.  I'm in the same boat as you,
 learning Cairngorm by examples and by reading the list and
 experimenting.  The learning curve is fairly steep, and without the
 help of examples, putting the pieces together can be a slow 
process.
 You aren't alone, but it can feel like it sometimes.  As I learn 
new
 stuff I'll be sure to post tutes on my blog for people to check 
out.
 I also recommend checking all the examples at Adobe -- Mike 
Potter's,
 etc -- they are extremely helpful.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Application structure

2006-07-30 Thread sinatosk

heh I had this same question about 2 years ago when developing an application in PHPMost voted for version 1I prefer number 1 when it comes to having a serverside application working with thembut version 2 if I come to manage it by hand ( you know browsing folders, copy/paste etc... )
If you can... use virtual folders to lay it out like version 2 but I recommend using version 1 when your application comes to work with them...WARNING: MAKE SURE THE DATA IS CORRECT WHEN USING VIRTUAL FOLDERS :p
just a side note I don't use virtual folders so I don't know any programs yet other than FTP serversOn 30/07/06, Mike

[flexcoders] php, flex...and uploading images

2006-07-30 Thread Mark Wales








I've seen several references to the possibility of uploading BitmapData
or similar client-derived images to a server using PHP, but I can't
find any actual examples. While the docs do have an example of using
FileReference to upload a client-side file off the filesystem, it seems
the code is likely to be fairly different than trying to 
"upload" the data derived from a client-side image manipulation. 

Note that there are some Flash-centric examples or ones that use PHP
and GD but that seems to make things more complicated than they need to
be. If possible, it would be great to have something that was straight
Actionscript 3.

Does anyone have anything they are willing to share?

-Mark

 Flexcoders Frequently Asked Questions
  Last Updated: 31st July 2006

 Contributors:

Matt Chotin, Steven Webster, Alistair McLeod, Tariq Ahmed, Jeff Tapper,
 Peter Farland, Abdul Qabiz, Tracy Spratt, Jesse Warden, Dan Harfleet,
  Manish Jethani, Dimitrios Gianninas


1. What is Flexcoders?
2. How does Flexcoders relate to the Adobe Flex Forum on
   www.adobe.com?
3. Who posts to Flexcoders?
4. Resources to check before asking a question
5. Guidelines for effective question-asking
6. FAQ


1. What is Flexcoders?

Flexcoders is a forum where developers can ask questions about Flex,
FlexBuilder, and Flex-related technologies (like Cairngorm and FlexUnit).  
The community is made up of everyday Flex developers as
well as Adobe employees. However, this is not an official
Adobe-sponsored forum, it is moderated by the community.  However the original
moderators who are still actively involved are folks from iteration::two, now 
members of Adobe Consulting.


2. How does Flexcoders relate to the Adobe Flex Forum on
   www.adobe.com?

Both the Adobe Flex Forum and Flexcoders provide help on issues
related to Flex, and neither is an official support mechanism.  Some
people monitor both forums, some only one.  It is up to you to decide
where you might have a better experience getting a question answered and
being able to subsequently help others.


3. Who posts to Flexcoders?

Everyone who has a question or an answer.  Many members of the Flex
development team read and respond to Flexcoders as well as other
Adobe folks who monitor the community.

Some recurring Adobe folks are:

David Mendels: EVP and GM, highest-level executive in charge of Flex.
Phil Costa: Group Product Manager, Flex. Matt Chotin, Product Manager Flex.
Manish Jethani, Roger Gonzalez, Cathy Murphy, Gordon Smith, 
Peter Farland and many more: Engineers on Flex.

Active community members include:

Steven Webster (Adobe Consulting RIA Practice Lead and co-author of
Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex), Alistair McLeod
(Adobe Consulting RIA Practice Manager and co-author of Developing Rich
Clients with Macromedia Flex), Jesse Warden (JesterXL - Flash and Flex badass), 
Tracy Spratt (long-time member, holder of all knowledge related to Flex 1.5 32K 
limits), 
Jeff Steiner (maintainer of www.flexauthority.com), 
Tariq Ahmed (maintainer of www.cflex.net), Jimmy
Gianninas (long-time member, developer at Optimal Payments).

And so many more with Flex 2 that it's impossible to keep track!

Re: [flexcoders] cairngorn vs FDS DataService

2006-07-30 Thread Barry Beattie

Tom, just to check...

you're saying that, if you don't need syncronised data or being able
to pust data or messages to clients, then the garden variety remoting
would do just fine...

yes?

so the opposite is true? if you *have* to have data in sync/ only one
copy of the record can be edited at any one time/ controlling data
collision, etc then FDS is the way to go...

IMHO, that in itself is, when the situation demands it (like my
previous project, pre-FDS) , is worth every penny of FDS

Re: [flexcoders] Using IUID

2006-07-30 Thread Jeremy Lu





If your VO are bindable, chances are very high that you might not need
to implement the IUID interface, it will be automatically done.

  Cairngorm: Managing Popup WindowsI've done some research on this 
  list but haven't found any validinformation on what's considered best 
  pratice in dealing with popup windows. The few Cairngorm sample apps that 
  are around don't seem touse the TitleWindow component at all.Let's 
  say I have a simple DataGrid populated with some user data. If Iclick on a 
  row in the DataGrid a popup window opens with a form for editing the user 
  information. The popup window also has two buttonsfor deleting or saving 
  (updating) the user account.I have done stuff like this several times 
  in Flash/AS2 but I've neverused a framework approach so far. Now, if I 
  look at this rather simple task from a Cairngorm perspective it doesn't 
  seem to be that simpleany more. (But I guess that's because I'm not yet 
  too familiar withCairngorm.) I know how to establish databinding between 
  the dataprovider and { model.users} and all this basic Cairngorm 
  stuff.But what happens when a row is clicked? I'm not even sure if 
  I'msupposed to treat this event as a single event (selectUser 
  oropenPopup?) or as a chain of two events (selectUser - 
  openPopup). Since my user information is organized as an array 
  ofvalue objects it's easy to assign the selected user VO 
  tomodel.selectedUser:model.selectedUser = 
  UserVO(userList.selectedItem );But am I allowed to directly access 
  the ModelLocator from my viewcomponent? Or am I supposed to route this 
  simple action through theCairngorm command chain (Cairngorm Event - 
  Front Controller - Command Class - ModelLocator)?Next 
  question, what about the popup itself? Can I simply 
  usePopUpManager.createPopUp( this, UserFormView , true)? Or am I 
  supposedto treat this as a Cairngorm Event, too? I feel in safe 
  Cairngorm terrain again with the updateUser anddeleteUser actions on 
  the buttons. But what about closing the popupwindow? Is this even worth a 
  Cairngorm event? I guess these questions sound rather stupid to those 
  of you who aremore experienced with frameworks. But at the moment these 
  questionsare obstacles on my way to master Cairngorm (which I will 
  hopefully doone day). I apologize for my verbose post and my bad English, 
  but Ihope that someone can shed some light on these 
  issues.Stefan--Flexcoders

[flexcoders] mysql amfphp array parsing

2006-07-30 Thread Impudent1

ok I seem to be having a total mindlock on this...

I have amfphp running some functions to connect to a mysql database. I 
have the login logic all working and was starting to link the interface 
up. Firstly being a combobox populate.

So with my function returning an array of: 0- id  2
   teamname blah
   teamlead bla
   teamstatus active
   0- id  13
   teamname sda
   teamlead dsadfs
   teamstatus active

I have setup the functions in my app for it as:

[Bindable]
public var teams:ArrayCollection;

public function getTeamlist() : void{
gateway = new RemotingConnection(gatewayURL);
gateway.call(MySQL_Login.team_pulldown, new 
Responder(onResultGetTeamlist, onFault));
}

public function onResultGetTeamlist( result:Array ) : void{
teams = new ArrayCollection( result );
}

public function onFault ( fault:String ) : void{
trace( fault );
}

then set my new states canvas to :
mx:Canvas label=Users width=100% height=100% 
initialize=getTeamlist()


now, if I hardcode the combobox to be:

mx:ComboBox x=91 y=70 id=userTeamDropdown 
dataProvider={teams.getItemAt(2).teamname}/mx:ComboBox

it will load up the page on proper login and populate the combo box with 
the single teamname.

This is where I am getting stuck. Is there a simple way for me to just 
get the arraycollection to just pull the teamnames from the amfphp 
result and populate the combo box??

I know I am missing something both simple and obvious here so tia for 
any ideas :)

[flexcoders] [v2.0] ItemRenderer error:

2006-07-30 Thread Barry Beattie

I've finally upgraded from Beta3 to current version, and of course
some things broke.

I've traced the latest problem back to a LiveDocs example** I based my
code from which generates the error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.
at MyRenderers::MyTreeItemRenderer/set data()


// Override the set method for the data property
// to set the font color and style of each node.
override public function set data(value:Object):void {
super.data = value;
if(TreeListData(super.listData).hasChildren) {
setStyle(color, 0xff);
setStyle(fontWeight, 'bold');
}
else {
setStyle(color, 0x00);
setStyle(fontWeight, 'normal');
}
}


I just can't see what's wrong with it what it might be in the Flex 2
changes between Beta 3 and Release
(http://weblogs.macromedia.com/flexteam/archives/2006/06/flex_2_changes.cfm)
It's a bit of a show stopper at the moment...

any suggestions?
thanx

cheers Brendan. That did indeed fix it. Thankyou.

but I do have to ask why, since the existing code (without the
corrections mentioned on that example) worked fine with B3... (I just
need a better understanding of what to look for in the rest of the B3
code).

I can't seem to find your fix as a specific reference in

DataService.fill() Binding to ArrayCollection not triggered.











Hey guys,

I've set up binding (ChangeWatcher) to an ArrayCollection that is
passed to a DataService.fill() call. The DataService call completes,
and the result event has the results object.

With no action in my result handler, the ArrayCollection gets the
updated results, but he binding is never triggered on the
ArrayCollection.

If I manually re-assign the source array in the result handler the
binding IS called... is this as designed? See source below.

thanks,
Thunder

In the Application (watching)

public function initializeComponent(event:Event):void
{
// get notified when the dashboards are loaded.
dashboardDataWatcher =
mx.binding.utils.ChangeWatcher.watch(af.data.ConfigModelLocator.getInstance(),[dashboards,source],onDashboardData);

// load the dashboards
CairngormEventDispatcher.getInstance().dispatchEvent(new
CairngormEvent(ApplicationFrontController.COMMAND_GET_DASHBOARDS));
}

private var dashboardDataWatcher:ChangeWatcher;
public function onDashboardData(event:Event):void
{
// we got data
var oDashboard:Object = af.data.ConfigModelLocator.getInstance().dashboards;
}

In the Delegate:

public function getDashboards() : void
{
call = service.fill(
ConfigModelLocator.getInstance().dashboards,
DashboardsByApplicationid,
[ConfigModelLocator.getInstance().applicationid]);

service.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT,responder.onResult);
service.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT,responder.onFault);
}

public function onResult(event:*=null):void
{
var result:Object = event.result;
if (result is Array)
{
// If I do this, then the binding is triggered, otherwise it is not.
// Either way the dashboards collection gets the result of the call.

// ConfigModelLocator.getInstance().dashboards.source = (result
as Array);

} 
}

RE: [flexcoders] getItemIndex(someObj) -- mx_internal_uid













getItemIndex is looking for exact match, as
in it passes a == b. since you have two different object instances (in memory)
regardless of the mx_internal_uid property they will not match. ArrayCollection
is not set up to support something like the Java .equals method, so if you want
to change the behavior youll need to subclass and adjust yourself.

getItemIndex(someObj) -- mx_internal_uid











I'm looking at doing this to prevent drag from
datagrid into a 
favourites panel if the user already has that item in favs.

Drag from data gird, the panel that may receive the drop does a check of 
the favourites arraycollection via

*model.favourites,getItemIndex(theItemImDragging)*

and if returns *-1* accepts the drop otherwise no go.

The arraycollection of favourites and the arraycollection in the grid's 
dataProvider are both just arraycollections of my own WineVO.

Docs say that getItemAt returns -1 if the obj is not in the 
ArrayCollection and mentions an exact match.

My question is does this exact match take into account the 
mx_internal_uid that flex carries around in each item in an 
arraycollection?
I'm guessing it does because when I drag a new item into my panel I

accept the drop and then if i try to repeat I get no drop, as I want.

If however I do another search, returning the same finds but now in a 
re - sourced arraycollection with diff internal_uid's and try to drop 
them it allows the drop to happen and I get duplicates in my favourites.

I'm seeing that the only difference is the mx_internal_uid is 
obviously different in the datagrids arraycollection dataprovider.

Any way of handling this, or doing it differently

RE: [flexcoders] Question about Data Service Assemblers













Unfortunately the service isnt smart
enough to allow you to specify what a fill will look like. In this case your assembler
should return everything, return a full collection of the employees (though if you
want you can return the employee just with its id property and not completely filled
in). Then the data service will page the employees collection in, instead of returning
the whole collection at once. But it will take care of that at the network level,
not your assembler level.

Subject: [flexcoders] Question
about Data Service Assemblers











If I have a one-to-many relationship between a VO
like:

public class company
{
public var id : int;
public var name : String;
public var employees : ArrayCollection;
}

one-to-many property=employees destination=employee
lazy=true/

And the employees are lazy loaded, how should I construct my employee
assembler? I know that with a one-to-one it calls getItem(), but is
this calling a fill()? And if so, what parameters is it sending?

Thanks,
Brennan

Re: [flexcoders] [v2.0] ItemRenderer error:

I don't have a solid answer, but I'd guess that the setter is getting called during initialization process before the object exists in the dataProvider... try running in debug mode and look through the stack trace when the error is caught... might provide some answers...

sorry... if(value == null)

cheers Brendan. That did indeed fix it. Thankyou.

but I do have to ask why, since the existing code (without the
corrections mentioned on that example) worked fine with B3... (I just
need a better understanding of what to look for in the rest of the B3
code).

I can't seem to find your fix as a specific reference in
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/flexteam/archives/2006/06/flex_2_changes.cfm

any background info is appreciated. I'm still getting used to Flex...

thanx again

[flexcoders] Embedded Fonts Cause Issue with DataGrid Headers




Just wanted to see if the Adobe folks were aware of the issue with Embedded fonts and DataGrids... there was an earlier post on this as well, but nobody clarified if this was a known bug:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/44067;_ylc=X3oDMTM3Y3BlaHMwBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzEyMjg2MTY3BGdycHNwSWQDMTYwMDAwNzIwNwRtc2dJZAM0NDA2NwRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawN2dHBjBHN0aW1lAzExNTM0MTA3MTUEdHBjSWQDNDQwNjc-
Sure enough, changing the font size to anything but 12pt solved the issue, and I also found that setting the headerStyleName seperate from the row styles in the DataGrid (we're using itemRenderers, and setting the Label font styleName inside) worked to fix the problem as well... it seems to only affect the datagrid if nesting the DataGrid instance inside another component which has the style applied.
Thoughts?Brendan
