[flexcoders] FOUND SOME BUGS: Adobe AutoComplete component
Hi guys,
I have found a bug with the AutoComplete component, where it clears the text
field if text is assigned programatically and the text is bigger than the
default component size (21 characters).
The bug exists on line 520 of the class:
if(selectedIndex == -1)
textInput.text = typedText;
My fix (seems to work and haven't found any side effects yet):
if(selectedIndex == -1 typedText)
textInput.text = typedText;
Another bug exists on line 559, where the selection caret is placed at the end
of the text field when there is more than 21 characters in the text field and
you try to add or delete characters inside the text field:
else if(typedText)
//Sets the selection when user navigates the suggestion list through
//arrows keys.
textInput.setSelection(_typedText.length,textInput.text.length);
My fix is to remove the setSelection() call:
else if(typedText){
//Sets the selection when user navigates the suggestion list through
//arrows keys.
//textInput.setSelection(_typedText.length,textInput.text.length);
}
I am unaware of any side-effects to this fix, but would be interested to hear
other's opinions on this.
Cheers,
Adam

Okay I am going to try and be as clear as possible with this, so

What I am trying to do is make it so that when my arraycollection
objects that I have retrieved from a web service are loaded in (by
using the dataProvider attribute) my dataGrid that some sort of
code will take place changing the color of each line of text (all
the objects stored in the array collection are string types) and
display each rows text in a different color.
Now after looking into it, it seems the only way to alter the color
of the text is to use some sort of style or format but it seems it
only effects text in a textArea, textField, textInput etc...
SOOO I figured why not create a itemRenderer that contains one of
those and put it into the dataGrid... Which I did and still can't
figure out a way to make it so you can dynamically alter the color
based on a set of rbg values stored in a array the same size as the
rowCount of the datagrid.
so I am rather stumpped in what to do.. I DON'T want to change the
background color of each row, so alternatingItemColor is out of the
question, I just want the text displayed in each row to be a
different color And I want all this color changing to happen
either before the data is inputted into the dataGrid (manipulating
the arraycollection some how..) or when its all already in there, it
all needs to happen in code no user interaction.
I was thinking perhaps maybe I could create a item Renderer object
that contains the compenent (the textArea in it) and just make a
array of item Renderer objects and pass those into the dataGrid, but
I don't think that is possible.
ANY IDEAS AT ALL!! On how to change the color of the text in each
row of the datagrid to a different color would be a HUGE, HUGE!!!
help. Or any info on how to setup a datagrid listener that listens
for when a object (a row) from the arraycollection is added to the
datagrid... Perhaps I could use that info some how to my
advantage.
email me, if you like I don't care I just need a answer to this its
driving me crazy! I can change the background row color based on a
array of rgb values but I can't change the color of the item in that
row based on array of rgb values, ARG!
thanx in advanced.

RE: [flexcoders] masking with a sprite
After doing some digging about I found some discussion on this mailing list
saying that you couldn't load a Sprite into a Panel or something along those
lines. I changed it to a canvas instead and it's now working fine.
It seems that the example on livedocs should be updated.

Subject: [flexcoders] masking with a sprite
Hi
I am loading swfs from a backend server that are produced by our own
renderer. If I simply load these swfs into an image the background colour
form the swf floods the whoel stag enad makes it impossible to see anything
other than the last one to load.
I need to mask the swfs so we just see what we are supposed to.
I found an example in the help for the DisplayObject class. It seemed to do
everything that I wanted - it used a Sprite, drew a rectangle on it, added
it as a child then set it as a mask.
However when I try this when the addchild function is called saying that it
cannot convert the Sprite to a Display object:
Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to
mx.core.IUIComponent.
What am doing wrong? I hope someone can help.
The example I was looking at is:
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.text = Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit,
+ sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna
aliqua.
tf.selectable = false;
tf.wordWrap = true;
tf.width = 150;
addChild(tf);
var square:Sprite = new Sprite();
square.graphics.beginFill(0xFF);
square.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 40, 40);
addChild(square);
tf.mask = square;
tf.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, drag);
tf.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, noDrag);
function drag(event:MouseEvent):void {
square.startDrag();
}
function noDrag(event:MouseEvent):void {
square.stopDrag();
}

[flexcoders] Custom Event Variables
Using Flex 2.0 - I have a child MXML document that has a custom
event like this:
child.MXML
mx:Metadata
[Event(selectionChanged)]
/mx:Metadata
function someFunction() {
dispatchEvent(new Event(selectionChanged, {x:something.x,
y:something.y});
}
Now I'm trying to get the values of x and y back into the
main.MXML file.
I did create a selectionChanged class and Overrided the inherited
clone() method like explained here:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/1644.html.
This would have been the old way:
something selectionChanged=getRestaurantListByArea(event.x,
event.y);/ but in Flex 2.0, it gives an error.
Any help appreciated.
[flexcoders] Web Service Headers + Displaying results

it is being received on their end but I cannot get any information to
display in text boxes or labels. I also cannot figure out how to add
a header that contains a value for the parameter Username.

[flexcoders] Menu woes...
I have been trying to get a menu right. The menu appears fine, but the problem is I have too much items on it. According to the docs, Menu inherits indirectly from ScrollConrolBase, and it does indeed seem to have some scrolling-related properties... So I've tried this: var myMenu:Menu = Menu.createMenu(null, arrMenu); myMenu.show(menux, menuy); myMenu.maxHeight=200; myMenu.showScrollTips = true; myMenu.verticalScrollPolicy = ScrollPolicy.ON Menu draws fine with the correct height and stuff, no errors, but no scrolling. Also after clicking an item in the menu, I put a component of mine on the canvas. After clicking a checkbox on the component, the menu still shows up. Is this due to event propagation in the component? I register the click event to the canvas in the following manner: this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler, false, 1); How can I stop the event from propagating through the component to the canvas? Thanks in advance, Chris.

[flexcoders] Re: Debug Flash Player 9 for Intel Mac
I just finished switching my development environment from PC to a new Intel Mac. I also had the issue with the debug player not playing, and I also didn't find any separate download for the Intel debug player on Adobe's site...so I followed their alternative suggestion and re-installed Flex Builder (beta). The Flex Builder installer runs a Flash Debug player installation at the end of the flex install, and that worked. They really ought to release a stand-alone installer for Intel Macs, though. I followed the link from the error thrown in the Power-PC installer but it lead to the non-debugger (release) version of the flash player for intel mac. Also, another note, I noticed this time during the flex builder install that it failed when trying to write a file to my home directory.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: SEO Compatibility
dorkie dork from dorktown wrote: One of the open source solutions I occasionaly use *cough* *cough* *drupal* *cough* has a mod redirect / mod rewrite htaccess file (i'm combining words). Any url that is entered into the site gets rewritten or redirected. It is a dynamic system that allows you to dynamically redirect to the content you want without hard coding paths or directories. So you would create a dynamic page (doesn't really exist - only in the database) and then an alias to reach it. For example, www.test.com/myalias http://www.test.com/myalias. Actually a lot of systems use this (wordpress, etc). All urls entered in to the site would be redirected to index.php. At this point you could with the super awesome power of server side code, deliver page links dynamically and content dynamically. I recently did a project with FXT and did exactly that. You pass the data as an xml model into a script tag under the body tag. Search engines pick this up. My Flex app pulled this xml in and then used it as a dataprovider for numerous controls. I've asked in the wish list for Macromedia at the time before it was Adobe to let us specify the type of extension for the published html wrapper. Right now if you click publish or run it creates a HTML page. So somewhere in the options it would be nice to choose the page extension type (php, asp, jsp, etc) of the page we are publishing. I've also investigated and requested a way to pick my template page that Flex finds and then replaces the tokens which it is looking for inside of it. This may all be possible already. I've been mostly only learning the API, mostly. Now that I've had a chance to think about it a default Adobe Page and Link Management admin site might be the solution. It would be created and deployed to bin or bin-admin with every project. Then you would upload that to the server along with the contents of your bin directory. A developer could login to it on the server. The Adobe Page Manager would use an xml file or database to create the aliases. The alias would be for different states in a Flex app. When you create an alias there would be a place where you could call the services or page associated with that state and alias. It would then wrap that content in a xml tag like in FXT for indexing. You could also pass any links back to the page. The content and links would be in the noscript / script / area of the page and not be visible to the user but it would be visible to the search bots. Because it uses a single page index.php and .htaccess mod rewrite it would redirect all traffic to the single index page (php, asp, java). That page would take that url alias, search the xml file or database and serve up the appropriate content (in the background hidden to users). I hope that makes sense. It would manage aliases, content for that alias, links for the alias and state to pass to the embedded flash swf. I can actually imagine how it would work. Hmm.. I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are talking about, but let's see if this is close: 1. Set up the homepage to pull dcontent from the database using whatever server side technology (php/asp.net, etc, over WebServices/FMS, etc.) - front loader style (design pattern). 2. Set up a 404 handler (using .htaccess or iisadmin) to detect what url was passed in - say domain.com/section/contentid, and redirect to homepage. (How would the search engine deal with something like that - would it just keep replacing the index information for the home page. Can a spider or bot store multiple versions of a webpage? Maybe the Vary header would help here?). 3. Redirect the user (or bot/spider) to the homepage, display the information based on the section/contentid part of the url. I'm not sure how you would do that. Is there a server var that can be relied upon that you can check to know where the user or bot was redirected from. 4. Use client side technology and location.replace to fix up the url so the user ends in the right place in the app, and has the standard one link type (with the #). Would something like that actually work? I'm sure I could make it work for a web browser, but I'm not sure what would work with search engine spider bots. Kevin N.

[flexcoders] panel titleBar customizations dissapear on mac
I have a class which extends Panel and adds buttons to the titlebar of the panel. When I moved my environment from my PC to my Mac the buttons in the titlebar no longer appear, although its the same code getting compiled. I'm not sure if it's a difference in the compilation or in the Flash player - haven't been able to hit my apache on the mac from a Windows machine. Any clues?
[flexcoders] Latest Flash Player Hangs Our Application
Hello,
We are experiencing some very troubling behavior with our Flex App
running on the latest Flash player version 0,9,0,28.
I am not sure this is the right forum for this but hopefully someone
can direct me to the proper venue.
To reproduce simply create an app that has a few TabNavigator tabs and
launch the app with your local browser no need to serve it up from a
web server. Then wait about 1 day (without rebooting the machine) with
the web page still up and re-launch the html with the swf and then
click on the tabs no response. It does not always happen right away
but I find that after 24 hours by doing a few web page refreshes or
launching in a new window result in the tabs hanging.
On our application it is not necessary to leave the application up and
running for 24 hours to encounter this problem it is just sufficient
to run the app once and wait 24 hours AND once this problem occurs you
can reproduce on any other application that has tabs or menu items.
It does appear that the events are propagating but the player seems
unable to redraw the tabs. On our application this behavior is also
extended to menu items in the menu bar.
Also this problem does not occur if you run the swf in standalone mode
even after a day of continuous computer up time and even when the
problem is encountered on the web browser. Running the same
application in standalone mode does not exhibit any of these issues.
We have been unable to repro this behavior on the flash player version
0,9,0,16
Sometimes when closing all the Internet Explorer windows after this
problem appears I get Application Error
The instruction at 0x
. referenced memory at 0x
. The memory could
not be read
Then the same error but for - CwndSessionMonitor:iexplore.exe
FireFox also exhibits this same behavior so it is not IE specific.
Though I have never run this test by just using FireFox I just noted
that once the problem occurs in IE it is also reproducible in the
FireFox browser.
Also we have repro this on multiple machines - but as an example here
is one machine configuration:
OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP 1
CPU: 3 ghz dual core
RAM: 4gig
HardDrive: 350gig
Internet Explorer Version: 6.0.3790.1830
FireFox Vesion: 1.5.0.9
Flash Player Version: 0,9,0,28
Adobe Flex Builder 2 Version: 2.0.143459
Thanks for any help,
Mark

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Debug Flash Player 9 for Intel Mac
The Flex Builder 2 for Mac actually has a newer version of the Flex 2 SDK that requires you to explicitly import things instead of calling them by their classpath.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: SEO Compatibility
First, this structure already works for these content management / blog sites. They have a single index page that shows content based on the url. There is only one file. So we know it works. #1 - yes. i am thinking at its most basic level, on that single catch all index page, we have a function that gets called when the page loads. that function is passed the broken down url information, ie, a object similar to the location object (contains the pathname, protocol, etc - or we define a set of global variables). these are set when the mod rewrite or referrer. i'd have to check how they do it. back to the function - then your function can parse and use logic you set up to deliver the content that you want to make available to the search engines based on the url the user or search bot requested. in your logic you may be going to the database and pulling information based on the page they request. we store that information in a variable that will eventually get written to the page underneath the swf in xml hidden inside of a script tag. #2 - the search engine does not know it is getting redirected to the index.php, index.asp, index.jsp page. all it knows is that when it asks for animals.com/carnivors/bears it is getting the page on bears. #3 - yes. thats right. this is described in #1. i really think some variables would be better than an object. #4 - that is not necessary. remember, the user (and their browser) and the search bot only believe in the url. they don't care or know if its a single page or a different page that gets served up. One more thing we would have to do that I did not mention in #1 was to pass a list of links to the page to be written out. These can be in a display none tag or in the no script section. And finally that url path and variables should be passed to the flash swf in the flash vars section. Dang. I think this can be done rather quickly. This would be basic. A front end / front end manager could be created for this later on top of this.

Any url that is entered into the site gets rewritten or redirected. It is a dynamic system that allows you to dynamically redirect to the content you want without hard coding paths or directories. So you would create a dynamic page (doesn't really exist - only in the database) and then an alias to reach it. For example, www.test.com/myalias http://www.test.com/myalias. Actually a lot of systems use this (wordpress, etc). All urls entered in to the site would be redirected to index.php. At this point you could with the super awesome power of server side code, deliver page links dynamically and content dynamically. I recently did a project with FXT and did exactly that. You pass the data as an xml model into a script tag under the body tag. Search engines pick this up. My Flex app pulled this xml in and then used it as a dataprovider for numerous controls. I've asked in the wish list for Macromedia at the time before it was Adobe to let us specify the type of extension for the published html wrapper. Right now if you click publish or run it creates a HTML page. So somewhere in the options it would be nice to choose the page extension type (php, asp, jsp, etc) of the page we are publishing. I've also investigated and requested a way to pick my template page that Flex finds and then replaces the tokens which it is looking for inside of it. This may all be possible already. I've been mostly only learning the API, mostly. Now that I've had a chance to think about it a default Adobe Page and Link Management admin site might be the solution. It would be created and deployed to bin or bin-admin with every project. Then you would upload that to the server along with the contents of your bin directory. A developer could login to it on the server. The Adobe Page Manager would use an xml file or database to create the aliases. The alias would be for different states in a Flex app. When you create an alias there would be a place where you could call the services or page associated with that state and alias. It would then wrap that content in a xml tag like in FXT for indexing. You could also pass any links back to the page. The content and links would be in the noscript / script / area of the page and not be visible to the user but it would be visible to the search bots. Because it uses a single page index.php and .htaccess mod rewrite it would redirect all traffic to the single index page (php, asp, java). That page would take that url alias, search the xml file or database and serve up the appropriate content (in the background hidden to users). I hope that makes sense. It would manage aliases, content for that alias, links for the alias and state to pass to the

[flexcoders] bug in DataGrid.selectedItem when using sort
The following code demonstrates a bug when you assign to the
DataGrid.selectedItem property when the underlying dataProvider is an
arrayCollection using a sort assigned to it. If you comment out the
griddata.sort = sort, the bug goes away (as does your sort,
unfortunately). I tracked down through the ListCollectionView source code
and everything seems work fine as far as figuring out which item should be
selected. But it never seems to apply that to selectedItem and instead
applies it only to selectedItems.

[flexcoders] ItemRenderers and Events
I'm having troubles with capturing events from an item in a List which uses an itemRenderer. Basically I'm overriding a multi-select List to have a checkbox in it with a simple itemRenderer. The item renderer is handling the clicks and managing the checkbox just fine. It also dispatches an event when clicked.

[flexcoders] Re: bug in DataGrid.selectedItem when using sort
FYI, I have a workaround. Since selectedIndex seems to get set properly, I
do this:
grid.selectedItem = obj;
var si:int = grid.selectedIndex;
grid.selectedIndex = -1;
grid.selectedIndex = si;
Setting selectedIndex does not go through the same code and doesn't cause
the problem.

The following code demonstrates a bug when you assign to the

unfortunately). I tracked down through the ListCollectionView source code
and everything seems work fine as far as figuring out which item should be
selected. But it never seems to apply that to selectedItem and instead
applies it only to selectedItems.

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm 2.1 - calling a webservive more than once
I have a similar issue, when I call webservices more than once whit
cairngorm 2.1, that I still haven't solved.
Now you have to manually call webService.loadWSDL(), plus there is
another weird thing happening that didn't happen with version 2.0.
basically it changes the way I'm accessing the results, but not in a
consistent way, for example:
I'm calling the same webservices twice and in order to get the
results I have to change the reference to the return value:
when I call my service for the first time I get:
soap:Envelope mlns:soap=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/xmlns:xsd=;
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema mlns:xsi=
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
soap:Body
CreateTokenResponse xmlns=http://www.xxx.net/schemas/services/sso
CreateTokenResult*563ee119-802a-47bc-8d37-a5995e576ae6*
/CreateTokenResult
/ CreateTokenResponse
/soap:Body
/ soap:Envelope
on the command to access the result I use
public function result( event:Object ) : void
{
loginModel.tokenSSO = event.result;
executeNextCommand();
}
then with executeNextCommand() method (I'm using a sequenceCommand) I
call another command that calls the same webservices but this time I assign
the
result to a different variable. this the return value:
soap:Envelope mlns:soap= http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/
xmlns:xsd=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
mlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
soap:Body
CreateTokenResponse xmlns=http://www.xxx.net/schemas/services/sso
CreateTokenResult*a6628f61-3f20-4dbe-aa23-e34efa3e3796*
/CreateTokenResult
/ CreateTokenResponse
/soap:Body
/ soap:Envelope
This time in order to access the results I need to do this:
public function result( event:Object ) : void
{
loginModel.tokenApp = event.result.CreateTokenResult;
}
this happens for other services too, where with cairngorm 2.0 I was
able to access the results with event.result now I need to specify
the name of the soap tag that contains the result. The real problem
here is that this does not apply to all the services but just some.
And the weirdest case is the sample that I have explained above where
the strategy to access the result of the same service changes
depending on when you call it (first time event.result, second time
event.result.CreateTokenResult), and I don't see any difference in
the soap returned from the service.
I decided to have ServiceLocator extending the UIComponent and
compiling the new Carngorm.swf (2.1) and everything start working as
before.
Someone suggest that this could be the result of calling loadWSDL(); more
than once so I used this:
if( !isWSDLLoaded ) {
isWSDLLoaded = true;
WebService( service ).loadWSDL();
}
but nothing changed
[flexcoders] TileList questions
Two questions on the tilelist. 1. Is there a way to change the alpha on the selected color or disable it completely to allow the item renderer to do whatever is needed on selected. 2. If I have a list of items in my tile list, is there a way to scroll and center on the selected item? Thanks, Rich
RE: [flexcoders] ItemRenderers and Events
If you are using dispatchEvent(new Event(change,true)) the second argument tells the event to bubble and you should be able to listen for it anywhere in the displayList, including the List, and Application. However, it sounds suspiciously like you are not having your checkbox renderer update the dataProvider. This is required. You cannot walk any array of elements inside the list You must look at the dataProvider only. The visual elements, including the checkboxes cease to exist when they are scrolled.

[flexcoders] Bug using FDS to persist managed association as Set
This is probably best handled by Jeff Vroom, but I'm open to comments from anyone I have dug through the HibernateAssembler source after seeing very strange behavior, and I think I've uncovered a bug in the HibernateAssembler. When it is persisting a change to a property that is an FDS managed relationship, and that relationship is a collection mapped as a Set in Hibernate, it ends up removing a bunch of items from the collection that should not be removed... HibernateAssembler line 591 starts a routine that is supposed to merge the new collection with the one from the server. Because the collection is a PersistentSet, not a List, the variable isList is false, and it gets an ArrayList from the collection to have sequential access. while looping through each item in the fromList, even though the item is in both collections, at line 675 it calls add on toList and toColl. toColl is a set, so the add function replaces the existing object (which it should in case the new one has changed). And the item is added to the end of the toList. After looping through each item in fromList, line 686 removes items from toColl and toList until they are the same length. I'm not sure why it is doing this, but it is removing the items from the toColl, and when done, toColl has much less items in it than it should. Is this a known/fixed defect? I'm going to start trying to compile this class so that I can implement a fix for it, but I'm not positive what is needed to do so. If there is a fix for it already, I'd love to get it. thanks, PW
[flexcoders] dynamic control access
Hello is there a way to build a reference to a control at runtime
something like this? I know this doesn't work I don't know how else to
describe it. Is there a command similar to getElementById()?
for (var i:int -0; i , myArray.length; i++)
{
director + [i] + .text = some text;
}
I have a number of text input controls all named like, director1,
director2, director3, director4...
RE: [flexcoders] Bug using FDS to persist managed association as Set
I don't know of a bug in that code... I can explain what should be happening. There is probably a more efficient (and simpler) way to do this when you know you are dealing with an unordered set, but I don't know why it is breaking right now. When it hits line 675 for an item which is in both sets, it should have previously hit the call to remove that very same item a few lines earlier 671. The code is written so that it is merging two sorted lists and so it will remove and reinsert an item if it has to shift the position. Because the position of an item in a Set is can be random, this may end up doing a lot more work than is necessary. I think that when it hits the end of the list, it should just be culling off items that are in the toList which should not be. If the equals/hashCode methods get messed up, this could easily get messed up though so that is one thing to check. If the remove call fails to find the item to remove, things would get out of sync between the set and the list and I'm not sure what would happen. For Sets, we probably should just have one loop which iterates over the to list. If the item is not in the from list we remove it from the toList. Then we loop over the from list and if it is not in the toList we add it to the toList. If the equals and hashCode methods are not right for the items in the list and the id properties, this probably would not fix the problem though. In terms of recompiling the HibernateAssembler, I think you can just compile it normally with the WEB-INF/lib classes in your classpath. You can find HibernateAssembler in one of the flex-messaging jar files and just replace the old one with the new one.

RE: [flexcoders] DataService commit() doesn't finish.
It looks like an exception is occurring and the transaction is being
rolled back. Is your fault handler being called on the client side? I
think that there are certain types of Errors and RuntimeExceptions which
are not being logged properly by the FDS MessageService so that is
making this look mysterious in the logs. If the error is occurring
after the updateItem call succeeds, it will be hard to track down
without libraries that do that logging. 2.0.1 is coming out real soon
now and has some improvements to the logging so that might be worth a
try.

Subject: [flexcoders] DataService commit() doesn't finish.
Hi guys,
I have some functionality that used to work that isn't working
anymore... using FDMS and HibernateAssembler.
From Flex, I've made one single change and used DataService.commit(),
and added a responder to the AsyncToken.
On the server, I can trace through the HibernateAssembler.updateItem()
and everything goes fine. The commit code doesn't get called though
because Transactions are true, and the syncSession is used.
There is some server trace of an AcknowledgeMessage getting sent, but
the responder never gets called, and if I refresh the flex client, the
values are not saved.
Please see the log trace below, and let me know if I missed anything.
thanks,
PW

RE: [flexcoders] dynamic control access
Use bracket notation. For instance:
this[director + i].text = some text;
will work if there is a control with that concatenated id.
In 1.5 you could use this method to create variable on the application
object, but in 2.0 that doesn't work anymore, I think because the
application object is no longer dynamic.
