[flexcoders] Flex 2.0.1 on Eclipse 3.2.1 - cool
Hi All, I've just blogged notes that I took during my run through of setting up Flex Builder 2.0.1 with Eclipse 3.2.1. http://allthego.com. It might be helpful to someone. I am very happy to say that the 20 odd Flex projects that I had in Eclipse 3.1 all imported and compiled in Eclipse 3.2 with no problems. I haven't hit any issues with the debugger yet (not that I am expecting to) but I'll continue testing over the next day or so. Thanks to the Adobe team for the update. I've certainly noticed an improvement in compile time. Now to go play with the new framework functionality AND my favorite Eclipse 3.2 plugins :) Cheers Angus
[flexcoders] sort datagridcolumn on numeric field
Hello, it looks like all data in a datagrid is treated as text. So if
you sort a column with only numeric fields it is sorted on the value
of the textual contect, instead of the numeric value, like this:
1095
111
1276
144
...
I already converted my webservice-result to numbers at loading, but
sorting keeps using text-value ... How to change this ?

[flexcoders] Compiling modules
Hi, I have problem to compile module components. Maybe that's a trivial procedure but I do not know how to compile a particular module. I've made new project ModuleTest. There is moduletest.mxml application. And after I've create 2 modules components in the folder modules. After that I have tried to use ModuleLoader component as how it is described in help docs. All seems work fine except the thing that modules haven't been compiled. There is written in help docs: You compile the module as you would compile any Flex application using the mxmlc command-line compiler or the Flex Builder compiler. The following command is the simplest mxmlc command: mxmlc MyModule.mxml I'm not command line guru or something like that. So is there any way to compile modules when I hit debug button in the flex builder or any other way to at least make it simpler? It seems to me strange to compile every module in command line... What if I have hundreds of modules? -- Best regards, Oleg Filipchuk
[flexcoders] Re: Compiling modules
Great question. I've run into the same problem. How do you use Flex Builder to compile just the module? The only work-around I've found so far is to right-click on the module name in the navigator panel and select Run As Flex Application. This command will create a .swf and .html files for the module and try to load it in the browser (where nothing will display). It's not the best solution and I hope someone posts a better one, but it is all I've found to work so far. I did search through the Flex 2.0.1 help files but did not find anything. Bruce

[flexcoders] togglebuttonbar and styles
Greetings, I have a toggle button bar where some buttons need to be styled one way, and the rest styled another (ie, first 4 in a bar of 10 must have a blue background, while the rest should be yellow). The problem is, even though these styles are getting applied to the button (I've verified this through tracing and debugging), the damn things won't actually render until a different component in the app is clicked. For example: Upon first load of the screen, it'll look like this: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y140/svyeta/before.gif http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y140/svyeta/before.gif Then when the answer is selected elsewhere on the page (thus incrementing the position), it'll do this: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y140/svyeta/after.gif http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y140/svyeta/after.gif How can I force these styles to render properly? It's driving me mad! Cheers, Michelle
[flexcoders] local-trusted sandbox vs. use-network
I'm new to Flex and reading the docs now. I'm trying to build a desktop-client photo viewer app in flex that allows users to seamlessly view local JPGs and selectively upload to the web. At the same time, they should also be able to view JPGs already uploaded to the web. I know I want to deploy my app in a local-trusted sandbox to allow my app to access both local files and network resources. But while reading about importing/embedding images I came across the use-network flag limitation that says access to local or remote resources are a mutually exclusive proposition. I'm confused, can someone please explain?

[flexcoders] mx.controls.Image and AS
hey ppl! I'm trying to build some project in Flex but I'm running into problems when I try to use Image component in pure AS'ish way. Somehow i tend to believe that mx:Image source=http://localhost/image.gif/ Should do completely the same as image = new Image(); image.source = http://localhost/icon_users.gif;; addChild(image); but it doesn't. Yeah I've tried to use load() method and still the same actually i think I've done everything i could possibly think of and found no way I can get that image onscreen without using MXML. Does anyone has an idea what might be solution? So far I thought that Adobe fired all ppl who made v2 component framework, hired new ones and finally made a set of usable components, but spending whole day on things like this is so counter productive that I start to doubt it. Oh and btw, wheres AS usage samples? All help docs concentrate on MXML approach way too much in my opinion. any ideas will be appreciated Jānis
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Compiling modules
Exactly, it isn't so hard to compile modules with command line, but it's all about the general usability of Flex Builder. Why it isn't properly documented? Or they think that one page about compiling modules using mxmlc is enough? There is no mention about compiling modules just inside of FB without using compiler by itself. Why usual developers should spent hours to figure out such a simple issue.. I just can't understand why Adobe is announcing great plans about having a pile of Flex developers and at the same time can't handle simple documentation and usability issue. I really appreciate the work that has been done by Adobe engineers to brought such a great product, but I just compare the level of documenting in MSDN (M$)... -- Best regards, Oleg Filipchuk

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex2 - Where to start
Ya if you come from just coding ASP/VBScript those 2 technologies ain't going to help learn OOP, they are really bad for that.

My prior programming experiences is primarily programming VBscript, for ASP pages and standalone VBscripting. I've been programming VBscript for perhaps 4-5 years now, but never did make the jump to OOP - PHP or .NET at any time before now. (If it works - dont fix it, was my idea) I'm looking at Flex2 to develop new and better UI for my web applications. I am working at a publishing company that makes a magazine 10 times a year. I've made a web application where the magazine is stitched together, using HTML, ASP and javascript (lowend dhtml). It communicates with several database servers, (mysql and MS SQL) pulling data from various sources (MediaBank DAM and MS Dynamics (Navision)) allowing the users to place articles and insertions on each page, finally creating the entire magazine in a webbrowser - very cool indeed. Now we are looking to create a web app that has some drag'n'drop features, perhaps even some push technology, so other users will get updated real-time if a page gets content placed. And then ofcourse all the nice UI effects that Flex offers, transitions, zoom, etc. So basicly all the backend stuff, making XML services (propably with ASP though) and database query's is not a problem at all - got that covered for years. I've been through the Flex2 - Getting started making all the examples - working and all. Have been fiddling around with different properties etc. to see what influences what. I feel pretty comfotable in the Flex2 enviroment. It's the whole classes and OOP that throw's me off. I hate to write code that dont make sense to me or that I dont understand - very frustrating. I live (and work) in Denmark - not sure if there's any local training in Flex2, I dont think so, but I'll investigate today. I'll have alook at roundpeg and Lynda also, to see what they can offer. Think I'll go get a copy of Essential Actionscript 2.0 essential training or similar, as suggested. Thanks for your help and pointers.

Also, please tell us what successes you have had with Flex 2 thus far? For instance, have you gone through the Lessons in the Getting Started with Flex 2 documentation? (Such as Create Your First Application: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/0065.html http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/0065.html ) Also, in many cases Flex is the front end to complex back end computer architectures. And in most full blown production applications Flex is only one part in what frequently is at minimum a 3 tier architecture: 1) Flex UI 2) Application Server middle tier using Java or PHP or ColdFusion, or .NET, etc. 3) Database Are you skilled in any application servers or databases? (Each tier is a specialty unto itself. In team environments, it is not uncommon for individual developers to work supporting just one tier.) Also, what type of applications do you anticipate building? If you let us know, there may be working sample applications applications that we can point you to. Regarding training, I concur with Simeon's advice. There is a huge advantage to having a live instructor. You mention that after reading the docs and the Training from the Sorce book your mind is a bit blown and way out of my league. The benefits of a live instructor is that: a) they are the living book; and, b) they are dynamic. You can ask questions and the instructor can summarize the broad and complex body of knowledge in ways that you you may find easier to grasp.

Re: [flexcoders] flexbuilder 2.0.1 css editor support
Paolo
To support code Hint in the lastest version fo Flex 2.0.1 in External CSS
file, just press like in 2.0, CTRL+SPACE after your tag or class you want to
declare.
Here's a short example of that
Application {
press CTRL + SPACE
}
Panel {
press CTRL + SPACE
}
.myStyle {
press CTRL+SPACE
}
And it will works fine to you.

I haven't yet experienced the error since I changed: creationComplete=initCollections(); to initialize=initCollections() But since it's hard to reproduce I can't tell for sure if this is at all related to anything happening here... the bug is not related to this. even the MenuBar is properly filled by initCollections(), there is something wrong in MenuBar::showMenu() After many tries, here a way to reproduce it: - build the menubar post in this Thread. (taken from Menubar doc) - click on Menu 2 - now the tricky part: move to Menu Item 2-B but immediatly go to Menu 1 then immediatly go to Menu 2 before Menu Item 2-B open and before Menu 1 open (may be). - Menu Item 2-B should open when Menu 2 is closed, or something like that - MenuBar::showMenu() should crash on Menu 2 this is not easy to reproduce, may be because the submenu is not big. BUT: playing with big menu with big submenu for a moment always crash.

Re: [flexcoders] Customized NumericStepper
checkValidValue() is marked private which means you can only access that function from within the same class as that function. As far as your subclass is concerned, the function doesn't exist which is why you are getting that error.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Compiling modules
There is no explicit project type for modules in Flex Builder 2. To create a module in Flex Builder, you treat the module as an MXML application and compile it. There are two basic approaches: 1) One-project model: Create the modules in the same project as your application and add them to the application list. This approach works as long as the application and the modules share the same compiler settings (such as library path). To debug the application with modules, reference the debug SWF file from source code during development, and switch to the non-debug one when you are ready to deploy. 2) Multiple-project model: Create a separate Flex or ActionScript project for each module. Add a linked file to the source folder of your shell projects that want to use it. This copies the module's SWF file over at shell project build time. Alternatively you could point the module project's output folder at your shell project's output folder, but a linked file is better. To support debugging, point the link at the debug SWF file and change that when you are ready to deploy, without altering source code. My apologies for not getting this into the proper documentation. I am currently working on a section about compiling modules with Flex Builder that will be added to livedocs. The reality is that Flex Builder 2.0.1 does not have explicit support for modules. What you need to do (what you have already figured out) is someone hacky. I'll post to this list when the livedocs pages have been updated. -matt horn flex docs -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of phillips1021 Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 8:13 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Compiling modules Great question.

RE: [flexcoders] Possible bug introduced in 2.0.1
No Igor, it’s not what I want, what I want is to add a control Bar in the new
state.
If you take a look at my code, from initial state to the newstate, I add a
ControlBar to Panel1 and a button to the controlBar.
For now I have a workaround, creating a controlBar in my initial state with no
button but I would consider this as a bug since It’s not possible to create a
controlBar inside a panel with states.

[flexcoders] FLV Thumbnail
I'm trying to generate an image thumbnail of an FLV and can't seem to
find any way to do it. Only thing that people seem to be doing is
creating a player for the flv, then pausing and stopping the stream -
I want to grab an image of the one of the flv frames. I found a piece
of code here:
http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/snapshot/snapshot.php?page=2
which i tried to implement with code like this in onFrameEnter:
//Here we will copy pixels data
pixels = new Array()
//Create a new BitmapData
snap = new BitmapData(_video.width, _video.height);
//Matrix to scale the new image
var myMatrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
myMatrix.scale(0.5, 0.5)
//Copy video image
snap.draw(_video, myMatrix);
var w:Number = snap.width, tmp
var h:Number = snap.height
var a:Number = 0
for(var b=0; b=h; b++){
tmp = snap.getPixel32(a, b).toString(16)
trace(tmp)
pixels.push(tmp.substr(1))
}
a++
if(aw){ //Finish capturing
//sendData(pixels, h, w)
//free memory
snap.dispose()
}
Now, it seems like the pixels are being captured, but I'm not certian
and I can't seem to display the captured image at all. I've tried
using an image object and a Bitmap set to the BitmapData (variable
snap) but it doesn't display. Anyone know of how to make this work,
or a better way?
Thanks,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Compiling modules
Matt, thank you for clearing this issue. The Multiple-project model looks more convenient for me. But there is a question about One-project model - it looks like we can't have modules files in the folders as for Flex Builder it isn't possible to treat any mxml file placed anywhere except the root as an application (at least I do not know how). So, thinking logically, for huge application every module should be the separate project. It looks effective for medium size project, but is it so convenient to have hundreds of projects for huge size projects...? Is Flex Builder team planning to make this issue more clear? For example add new button next to debug where will be options to compile modules (if any is open in workspace) that would be very handy for people not preferring to work with command line. -- Best regards, Oleg Filipchuk euroPIN group j.s.c.

[flexcoders] fds initialization sequence - chatadapter using hibernate
I have a custom chat adapter that uses hibernate to log all chat messages to the db. I use a hibernate.cfg.xml file that binds the hibernate SessionFactory to jndi (in jboss). On initialization of the chat adapter, it grabs the sessionfactory from the jndi and opens a new session. Took me a while to get this going but it works. Here's the crazy thing I don't get: If I rename the service id of my data-management-config.xml from data-service to anything else (i.e. data-service1), the hibernate configuration loads BEFORE my chat adapter initializes. If I leave it as the default, the chat adapter loads first and then fails because the sessionfactory isn't bound to jndi yet. I just don't get why the ID of the data service can affect the sequence of events. Anyone? Vic

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Compiling modules
Would it be possible to post an example of how to use the mx.modules? I would assume that you add a mx:Module/mx:Module instead of the Application tag and it would get compiled And then in your shell application you use the mx:ModuleLoader tag to point to your module. Is this correct or am I way off. I can't get it to work either. Also, I also assumed I could just right click on my application in Flex Builder and select the option of New Module. That doesn't work either. I've really been looking forward to modules, but after upgrading this morning and reading your message about how to use them, I'm nothing but extremely confused and discouraged. Brian.. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Horn Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 8:10 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: Compiling modules There is no explicit project type for modules in Flex Builder 2. To create a module in Flex Builder, you treat the module as an MXML application and compile it. There are two basic approaches: 1) One-project model: Create the modules in the same project as your application and add them to the application list. This approach works as long as the application and the modules share the same compiler settings (such as library path). To debug the application with modules, reference the debug SWF file from source code during development, and switch to the non-debug one when you are ready to deploy. 2) Multiple-project model: Create a separate Flex or ActionScript project for each module. Add a linked file to the source folder of your shell projects that want to use it. This copies the module's SWF file over at shell project build time. Alternatively you could point the module project's output folder at your shell project's output folder, but a linked file is better. To support debugging, point the link at the debug SWF file and change that when you are ready to deploy, without altering source code. My apologies for not getting this into the proper documentation. I am currently working on a section about compiling modules with Flex Builder that will be added to livedocs. The reality is that Flex Builder 2.0.1 does not have explicit support for modules.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Compiling modules
Just make a new project. You'll need to change the root tag from mx:Application to mx:Module for a MXML project, or change the base class of an ActionScript project from flash.display.Sprite to mx.modules.ModuleBase because FlexBuilder doesn't know about modules directly. (There is some odd asymmetry in the FB project structure in that you can add a new MXML Application (which could be a module) to a MXML project - its a many-to-one relationship, but you can't add a new AS Application to an AS project, its always one-to-one.) -rg From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of phillips1021 Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 5:13 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Compiling modules Great question.

[flexcoders] Possible to use custom variables in flex library path?
When adding a SWC to the Library Path in the project settings I
would like to be able to use a variable similar to the ${FRAMEWORKS}
variable. Our developers may have the code to the application in
different spots and it would be handy to define an Eclipse level
variable such as ${APP_SRC} to I can include a SWC the same way the
flex SWC's are included
I originally assumed that if you put the SWC within your project
structure it would use a relative path but that doesn't seem to be the
case. On my machine it shows up as AppName\src\assets\Cairngorm.swc
but on another developers machine it is just assets\Cairngorm.swc

I don't do it in AS. I always process the flv on the fly (with caching of

Note that the 1st and 5th line of text disappear. The good news is that turning off code folding appears to fix the problem. I am on a new install of Flex 2.0.1, Eclipse 3.2 on Windows XP. Other plugins include Callisto and the Spring IDE component. Would be curious if others can reproduce. -D
[flexcoders] Ending an Effect
Hi,
I'm applying the zoom effect to multiple UIComponents on a canvas. If I move
the mouse quickly off one zoomed component and onto another, sometimes the
first will not reverse to its original size. I believe this is because the
isPlaying flag is true if *any* instances of the effect are currently playing.
Does anyone know a solution for this? I want instance one to shrink back down
to original size even if I move quickly to instance 2.
TIA
Code:
public function doZoom(event:MouseEvent):void {
if (zoomAll.isPlaying) {
zoomAll.reverse();
}
else {
// If this is a ROLL_OUT event, play the effect backwards.
// If this is a ROLL_OVER event, play the effect forwards.
zoomAll.play([event.target], event.type ==
MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT ? true : false);
if(event.type == rollOut){
zoomAll.end();
}
//
}
}

RE: [flexcoders] Is it possible to have an invisible component?
Absolutely. You can instantiate any custom AS class using a tag. The AS class need not extend anything, but often you will want event dispatching and such. The tag will probably have to be at the top-level, since the standard containers will not be set up to allow it as a child.

[flexcoders] indexed array of associative array: ideas to add elements to associative array?
Hello...
Stuck on another issue here. Searched the archive but I didn't really
see anything that I could use using AS3.0. I am quite a newbie to
AS3.0, not a newbie to programming, but I'm stumped since I haven't
done much with associative arrays.
Here is what I have: indexed array of associative arrays.
example:
var myData: Array = new Array();
myData.push({dataType: 3, timestamp: 0});
myData.push({dataType: 1, timestamp: 0});
myData.push({dataType: 2, timestamp: 0});
myData.push({dataType: 4, timestamp: 0});
What I need to do is add a new element to the associative array based
on the dataType value:
for the first element in my example, I'd like to add {series3 : value}
to the associative array.
this array will be eventually used as a dataprovider for a PlotSeries.
thanks for any suggestions!

RE: [flexcoders] indexed array of associative array: ideas to add elements to associative array?
If I am understanding your question correctly:
myData[0].series3 = value;
Another way to think of an associative array is as a dynamic Object.
Do you mean you need to search the indexed array to find the element
where dataType == 3?
You'll just need to do that in a for loop.

[flexcoders] netstream.publish in flexbuilder 2
Hello all! I have a (hopefully) minor problem in a flash media server - based Flex 2 app i'm writing. According to the FMS livedocs, the way to stop publishing a netStream on a netConnection to a FMserver is to call the publish method with false as a parameter. [ that is, netStream.publish(false) ] however when i do that flex complains that i am trying to pass a boolean where it expects a string (which is what you'd pass if you wanted to _start_ publishing a stream) . Is there a way to override compilation warning/errors? or is there a flex specific way of stopping netStream.publish? Thanks in advance Arturo

[flexcoders] Re: mx:DataGrid variable columns
Hi Don,
If you remove the columns specification from the mxml of your
DataGrid declaration, I believe the grid should show all fields of
your dataprovider by default. In that case, your DataGrid would
look like the following:
mx:DataGrid editable=true
alternatingItemColors=[#ece8ff, #ff] id=cfgrid
width=100% height=190 alpha=1.0 /
If you need greater control over which specific fields are to be
displayed in the grid, you can create the grid column objects
dynamically in the getQuery_result() function and assign an array
populated with those objects to the grid's columns property. That
code would look something like the following:
var myColumns: Array = [];
// maybe in some sort of loop based on RO results
var myDGC: DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn();
myDGC.dataField = someField;
myDGC.headerText = Some Header Text;
// ... set more properties as needed
myColumns.push(myDGC);
cfgrid.columns = myColumns;
You can probably find some examples of this on CFlex or other sites.

Doug

Greetings - I've asked about this before to no effect; let's try again =) Most of my layouts use constraints, that is, left=n top=n, etc. In these layouts, I'd like to add minimize and maximize controls which would expand and contract the constraint-defined proportions of various screen areas. It would seem to me that I should be able to simply change the value of left, top etc., but his doesn't appear to work. Any ideas? cheers, ethan

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex2 - Where to start
Hi Mark, One of my first languages was VB/VBA with which I did windows applications and classic ASP development (some of which I still have to delve into thesedays). I first started learning OOP with ActionScript2.0 and .net at the same time. Whilst the learning curve is pretty daunting and frustrating at first (who wants to go from being guru to noob?) it is definitely well worth the effort and will certainly help you develop and enrich your career plus make you more employable. Another good book for OOP is a new book from the O'Reilly Head First series called Object Oriented Analysis and Designhttp://www.amazon.com/Head-First-Object-Oriented-Analysis-Design/dp/0596008678. Learn OOP it will make you a better programmer and earn you more money than traditional VB and ASP ;). Dan On 08/01/07, oneproofdk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for all your great reply's. My prior programming experiences is primarily programming VBscript, for ASP pages and standalone VBscripting. I've been programming VBscript for perhaps 4-5 years now, but never did make the jump to OOP - PHP or .NET at any time before now. (If it works - dont fix it, was my idea) I'm looking at Flex2 to develop new and better UI for my web applications. I am working at a publishing company that makes a magazine 10 times a year. I've made a web application where the magazine is stitched together, using HTML, ASP and javascript (lowend dhtml). It communicates with several database servers, (mysql and MS SQL) pulling data from various sources (MediaBank DAM and MS Dynamics (Navision)) allowing the users to place articles and insertions on each page, finally creating the entire magazine in a webbrowser - very cool indeed. Now we are looking to create a web app that has some drag'n'drop features, perhaps even some push technology, so other users will get updated real-time if a page gets content placed. And then ofcourse all the nice UI effects that Flex offers, transitions, zoom, etc. So basicly all the backend stuff, making XML services (propably with ASP though) and database query's is not a problem at all - got that covered for years. I've been through the Flex2 - Getting started making all the examples - working and all. Have been fiddling around with different properties etc. to see what influences what. I feel pretty comfotable in the Flex2 enviroment. It's the whole classes and OOP that throw's me off. I hate to write code that dont make sense to me or that I dont understand - very frustrating. I live (and work) in Denmark - not sure if there's any local training in Flex2, I dont think so, but I'll investigate today. I'll have alook at roundpeg and Lynda also, to see what they can offer. Think I'll go get a copy of Essential Actionscript 2.0 essential training or similar, as suggested. Thanks for your help and pointers.

Before getting to that, I want to echo Danny's post Please do provide us more detail about what your prior programming, development and design experience may be. Also, please tell us what successes you have had with Flex 2 thus far? For instance, have you gone through the Lessons in the Getting Started with Flex 2 documentation? (Such as Create Your First Application: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/0065.html ) Also, in many cases Flex is the front end to complex back end computer architectures. And in most full blown production applications Flex is only one part in what frequently is at minimum a 3 tier architecture: 1) Flex UI 2) Application Server middle tier using Java or PHP or ColdFusion, or .NET, etc. 3) Database Are you skilled in any application servers or databases? (Each tier is a specialty unto itself. In team environments, it is not uncommon for individual developers to work supporting just one tier.) Also, what type of applications do you anticipate building? If you let us know, there may be working sample applications applications that we can point you to. Regarding training, I concur with Simeon's advice. There is a huge advantage to having a live instructor. You mention that after reading the docs and the Training from the Sorce book your mind is a bit blown and way out of my league. The benefits of a live instructor is that: a) they are the living book; and, b) they are dynamic. You can ask questions and the instructor can summarize the broad and complex body of knowledge in ways that you you may find easier to grasp. Or, they may be able to provide you answers even before are able to verbalize the question ;-) You can find the list of instructor led courses here:

I can't think of any reason why you would want to do this. Modules are class factories, not instances.

[flexcoders] Where are all the 3rd party components
I am surprised that while Flex has been out for quite a while there are no people selling: * Additional Components * Themes and StyleSheets et. al. I know when I started with Delphi, there were many companies that made a nice profit selling additional components. Where is this community with Flex? I can think of dozens of visual components that I would be happy to purchase. From reading this newsgroup there seem to be at least 2 types of users * Business application developer (like me!) who want / need and can justify the cost for this because we have a customer who is paying $$$ for a rich solution * Opps / AS3 and Flex/Flash experts who live, love and embrace extending and enhancing existing components , themes, skins Where are all of the 2's Bruce P.S. and if there are sites that have these, where is the list of them?

[flexcoders] Re: FLV Thumbnail

Ya, I had heard about that. I was trying to offload some of the

you are getting the FLV from a server you control you will run into
crossdomain issues when trying to process it in AS. It looks like
I'll be following suit and using ffmpeg as well. Do you have any

for now and eventually using it to convert avi/other video formats to flv.

My wishlist on this one ( thinking java here ): * mavenized standardization of folder structures for flex applications ( all flavors: standalone, fds, etc ) ** src/main/flex, src/test/flex? Did that already for my projects without integrating testing. Works fine - same layout (SVN+MVN) for Flex and Java projects. * maven plugins: ** flexunit ( or asunit ) ** mxmlc ** asdoc *** including complex features (eg. auto compile and deploy examples) * definitions and workflow for continuous integration deployoment ( cruise control and continuum hopefully ) and then some extra would-be-nice-to-have plugins: * auto generate fds stubs/skeletons ( vos, assemblers, dataproviders, dataservices, etc ) for hibernate, JDO, other ORMs * springified fds ...? Nice, indeed. I hope someone at Adobe is already working on Mavenization of Flex. O.

Another way to think of an associative array is as a dynamic Object.
Do you mean you need to search the indexed array to find the element
where dataType == 3?
You'll just need to do that in a for loop.

Subject: [flexcoders] indexed array of associative array: ideas to
add
elements to associative array?
Hello...
Stuck on another issue here. Searched the archive but I didn't
really
see anything that I could use using AS3.0. I am quite a newbie to
AS3.0, not a newbie to programming, but I'm stumped since I haven't
done much with associative arrays.
Here is what I have: indexed array of associative arrays.
example:
var myData: Array = new Array();
myData.push({dataType: 3, timestamp: 0});
myData.push({dataType: 1, timestamp: 0});
myData.push({dataType: 2, timestamp: 0});
myData.push({dataType: 4, timestamp: 0});
What I need to do is add a new element to the associative array
based
on the dataType value:
for the first element in my example, I'd like to add {series3 :
value}
to the associative array.
this array will be eventually used as a dataprovider for a
PlotSeries.
thanks for any suggestions!

[flexcoders] Reversing data order in HLOCChart
I'm just getting ramped up with Flash in order to build some investing related tools for a client. One of the issues that I'm having trouble digging up information on is handling the order of data. I'm still slogging my way through the documentation for Flex and my knowledge of the terminology is a little sketchy, so forgive me if this is something that should be right in front of my face. When I request a range of stock data to build a HLOCChart it comes in in reverse chronological order, newest date first. I want to display the data in chronological order with Jan 1, 2006 on the left and Dec 31 2006 on the right. How do I go about processing the order once I've got the XML back?
