[flexcoders] sort compare more than 2 items?
I have an array that populates a datagrid combobox item renderer of: public var file_prioritylist:Array = [High, Medium, Normal, Low ]; [Bindable] public var file_priority:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(file_prioritylist); to avoid them sorting alphabetically I setup a sortCompareFunction for that column to use this function: private function prioritySort(item1:Object, item2:Object):int { if (item1.priority == High ) { return 1; } else if( item1.priority == Low ) { return -1; } else { return 0; } } which will get it to sort high or low, but how do I get it to sort the normal and medium appropriately??? I would also like to be able to group the datagrid list by values. http://stackoverflowexception.blogspot.com/2007/01/minor-update-of-grid-component.html has an example of what would pretty well cover it but I cannot get it to work with the swc file. I would also like to be able to learn from the code than just use it. tia Impudent1 LeapFrog Productions
Re: [flexcoders] sort compare more than 2 items?
Why not use numeric values for your priority... you wouldn't have to use a special sort function, but instead just use a labelFunction for display in the datagrid to acheive your high/medium/normal/low counts.

[flexcoders] Re: Printing in Flex
Hi Sam, This issue was caused by the fact that the FlexPrintJob was preparing the panel for printing (the print job was set to match or width/height) and for some reason it was setting it's height to 0 - that's why I think it was getting removed from the queue. I've noticed that wrapping a container in another one sometimes (just a Canvas) helps however I cannot identify any rules when it helps or why. Our print button was supposed to print whatever was conatined in one of the panels (I must add that the structure of th app is qute complicated). Depending on the content the behaviour was different. Typical effect was moving, shrinking or maximizing/zooming the nested containers - generaly breaking the view. It seems that the finishPrint method that is invoked by the FlexPrintJob method was not restoring the containers' properties properly. Any idea? Additionally we've noticed another issue with printing. Very often when there's a number of jobs spooled on our network printers (or there is an error due to lack paper or something similar) and spooling from Flex takes long we are getting errors however at least partial printout is generated. It is quite difficult to reproduce and depends on an individual environments. Typically, it was observed with long printouts (above 10 pages).Have you ever experienced anything like that?

[flexcoders] Flex 3.0 - What happened to letting Flex 2 bed in?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 3.0 - What happened to letting Flex 2 bed in?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 3.0 - What happened to letting Flex 2 bed in?
Yeah, I would much prefer it if they slowed down their innovation substantially. Because I am absolutely sure that is the way microsoft looks at it. In fact I think Bruce Chizen should call Steve Balmer and say something like this. you know, as a favor to our users lets agree that we will give then at least three years between releases so we dont bum them out with too much stuff, you know this stuff *is* kinda hard dude. And Balmer would say, Sure Bruce, I know what you mean. And even though we do want to put you out of business, fair is fair. Lets agree to a two year innovation pause. That'll give both our user bases time to take a breather. And we can let our developers focus on putting someone else out of business! Yup, thats whats gonna happen!

Re: [flexcoders] Size properties in AS3
Hi, No, percentWidth and percentHeight are creations found only in the UIComponent class. Flex is based from Containers which hold things 'inside' relative to each other. The AS3 Flash Play has display lists that hold DisplayObject 'on'. That being said having percentages in AS3 outside of the flex 2 framework would not make sense because there is no Container in the AS3 framework. I'm not talking about DisplayObjectContainer either just it has no idea that it's children even care about being sized . Now for the second answer. If you are talking about Flex - AS3; use; myComponent.percentWidth = 100; myComponent.percentHeight = 100; Peace, Mike On 1/25/07, Mikhail Shevchuk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, Flexcoders!

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 3.0 - What happened to letting Flex 2 bed in?
I think 2.0.1 is an indication of what possibly went wrong. They introduced modules. 500 bugs, fix 250, and then introduce new features. WTF? and now flex 3. What I'm assuming here is developer idea overload. Flex 2 is fantastic and suddenly they realise how powerful it is, but they want to add new features, even though the old ones are buggy. Could even be a yeah we know that component is not quite right, but we re-wrote it completely, added in new functions now that we 'understand' what we can do with Flex. Is it worth fixing the issues with F2? No release the new component with F3. I have a feeling this is what is happening, and although I don't mind it, it's not 'cricket'. I am literally picking up my F2 box today. Knowing F3 Beta is about to start is a bit f'd up. If Adobe are going to start releasing a new version every 6-9 months, could they at least agree that they will patch 95% of the outstanding bugs in each version before releasing the new one. If they are not prepared to do this, can they at least provide some concessions to people that will need to upgrade F2 to F3. I'm pleased that Adobe feel that Flex needs a new major version and not a dot release. It implies they've been working hard on some new and exciting features. What I need more than anything else however is a solid stable Flex environment. I can extend Flex to my hearts content with various components as I need them. Just give me a 100% fantastic stable environment please. That is more critical than a new and exciting 'features'.

[flexcoders] Re: Does Flex work with Java without FDS?
Yes it does, you can use plain HTTP/HTTPS GET POST or Web Services.

I did find some problem returning multiple serialized unbounded complex types in Web Services using the Data Binding features of Flex, but got around them using Action Script. (And have much more reusable maintainable code to boot)

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 3.0 - What happened to letting Flex 2 bed in?
Hi, Let me correct some misimpressions in this thread: A) We are not rushing out Flex 3. The Flex 3 beta has not started and is some time away. Once we have a first public alpha or beta, it will still be a logn while until we ship. What you are seeing is not about us rushing the product, it is about us becoming much more open about what is coming down the road in the future. We started this with Adobe Labs (initially Macromedia Labs) but in this cycle in the next few months you will see up open up more so folks can see the roadmap and give us feedback. B) Keep in mind, we released the first public alpha of Flash at Max in October 2005. We had a small private alpha underway for a few months before that. But we didn't ship Flex 2 until June 27 2006. Just because we are looking for testers and able to demo so features doesn't mean we are about to ship. It just means we want to give you a view of the product before it is baked so you can give us feedback (and also for your planning). From when we had our first external testers to when we shipped Flex 2 ws almost 12 months. It may not be as long this time because it is not such an major architectural change, but we are going to let the product bake and stay focused on quality. C) Flex 2 was a major architectural release. We changed the VM, the language, the framework, and the tool in fundamental and non-compatible ways. Flex 3 will not be such a release. We are now able to leverage those years of work and build on it incrementally. I think we can add a ton of value in areas like productivity, designer developer workflow, approachability, etc; but this release will not be a rewrite and will not be something each of you needs to relearn and invest heavily to migrate to. D) A key point is that we are going to be targetting the Flash 9 Player again. It has been very succussfull, it has already underdone a significant .oX release with any fixes, and we believe it is and will continue to be rock solid when Flex 3 ships. So we are not introducing change for your end customers, or a new target platform for you to consider fixing. E) We did invest heavily in Flex 2.0.X and in polishing the 2.0 release. We continue to do this and our team will release hot fixes on occasion for critical issues. Just because we are working on 3.0, doesn't mean we don't also have people supporting and doing fixes when needed on Flex 2 Hope this helps. We really hope by being more open about what is coming earlier we help you, not create all this stress in this thread :) Let me know if this addresses all your concerns. -David Adobe
Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to convert XMLList Collection to an ArrayCollection ?
Hi, I don't think you can... In the help docs they have this example for each (var item in doc.p) { trace(item); } I would say you are going to have to bite the bullet and loop.

[flexcoders] Flex2 Metadata / Compiler Options Question
I'll try to keep this brief and clear, bear with me and please request additional information if it would help. We came across a situation in a very large Flex2 application where we wanted to know the types of items inside of collections at runtime. I can provide more details if desired, but in short we are doing a lot of automatic detection of object and property types to make a running locally on xml version of the product work with very little pain and very little extra configuration. In Java 1.5, you can specify these types like this: ListContactVO foo; In Flex2, if you have something like this: var foo : ArrayCollection; There is obviously no way of discovering at runtime, by reading the class definition, what types of objects are meant to be in that ArrayCollection. So we took advantage of the metadata construct in Flex2 to create a sort of annotation, which would make the Flex2 example look like this: [Collection(type=ContactVO)] var foo : ArrayCollection; Now by reading the metadata of the property foo, we are able to determine at runtime both that foo is an ArrayCollection, and that it is meant to contain ContactVO object instances. This doesn't have the Java benefit of actually enforcing the fact that only ContactVOs are in the collection, but it at least allows us to make very useful convention-based assumptions. This is a pretty powerful option in my opinion, unfortunately Flex2 blindly throws out all metadata it doesn't understand. Through some google code searching, we were able to discover an obscure compiler option that looks like this: -keep-as3-metadata+=Collection This option would then make it such that Flex does not throw out [Collection] metadata. The problem is, this compiler option only works in DEBUG mode. In debug mode all of our code affected by this works beautifully and without fault (and would probably be a very useful tool to provide to the community). In RUN mode, it fails miserably. In short, Flex2 is ignoring these extra compiler options when not in DEBUG mode. We are no longer able to see the [Collection] metadata. Does anyone have any idea for working around this? We are using ANT for our builds, and I can guarantee that the -keep-as3-metadata compiler option is being used identically in all cases. It simply gets ignored in RUN mode, and Flex2 goes back to throwing out all metadata it doesn't understand.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 3.0 - What happened to letting Flex 2 bed in?
Adam, Release cycles average 18 months. Flex 2 launched June 28 so to date it has been 7 months since its release. Adobe is in the early stages of development of Flex 3 and we are looking to release in 2007. So why did I start talking about Flex 3 so early? This release cycle is going to be very different and break the norm for how release cycles work at Adobe. We are changing and in the next few months this will become crystal clear as to our plans. We need to get more community involved in the release to shape the features and quality of Flex 3. Overall we are committed to delivering a first class framework and development toolset for our customers. Flex 3.0 is not right around the corner but will happen in 2007. My announcement on Flex 3 earlier this week was to state that we are committed to targeting Flash Player 9 for the release. Pricing and release details are far from complete. Patience, good things take time. Cheers, ted :)

Re: [flexcoders] Help needed in accesing files located in remote location
Security sandbox in Flash Player 8 onwards has changed. Which means SWF can be compiled with two different config:- 1) Either access local files but no data from network 2) Or access network data but no local data. I believe, FlexBuilder/MXMLC compiles with second config mentioned above. You can however give a particular file or directory special permission (policy) to achieve both of above. I suggest a reading of Flash Security Whitepapewww.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_9_security.pdf r www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_9_security.pdf to understand things much better way.

We're in the middle of migrating existing apps/development from Flex 1.5 to 2 and at the same time migrating from CFMX 7.01 to CFMX 7.02. We currently have Flex 1.5 and CF integrated, but we'd like to move away from that where we're not really leveraging Flex server capabilities and merely compile our .swfs via command line until we can entirely re-write them in Flex 2. However it seems that History Management is an issue that might keep us needing our server install.

Re: [flexcoders] Slightly OT: Vista Feedback
Yeah, I know. I'm usually running the latest greatest betas of stuff, but Vista left a bad taste in my mouth. I have memories of when I first installed XP... No driver support, the system files all got moved around, etc. The last nail in the coffin was the open/save dialog boxes in Vista. They're beyond useless, and in fact a few steps backward. My wife just got a new laptop in November that comes with a free upgrade to Vista. We ordered it, but don't plan on installing it anytime soon. Maybe toward the end of 2007 when SP1 is supposed to come out. Yes, I'd rather be on a Mac, but I have similar views about OS X's finder... The new views just aren't as handy as what was available in MacOS 9. But at least they're usable. Of course, this is my personal opinion. If you're seriously considering installing vista, I recommend buying a hard drive to install it on, so you can just swap back to the old XP one if you need to. Also, I'm only talking about using Vista as a development machine. If you're talking Media Center, then yes the Vista Media Center is well worth the upgrade.

Quick question regarding updates to the framework, new components, etc. If the SDK remains free then in theory we'd be able to use our existing Flex Builder 2 to use any updated components or new ones that are added to the framework, right? You obviously wouldn't get the changes that are made to Flex Builder itself (all the stuff mentioned about workflow, productivity, etc).

Re: [flexcoders] Re: remoting with public access modifier in cfc
I've been tinkering with the services-config.xml file in the wwwroot/WEB-INF/flex/ directory, specifically the method-access-level switch. The thing is, it doesn't seem to do anything (yes, I did restart the CF server). Whether it is set to public or remote, any Flex app can access both public and remote functions (while older Flash apps can access only remote functions). This is true even if the Flex app is loaded from the local hard drive. What I'm trying to do is to prevent Flex apps from accessing public functions. It doesn't make sense to me that you can't create server-side only CFCs. ie. utility components meant only for other CFCs to use. These utility CFCs need to have their functions marked public, but as soon as you do that, any Flex app can then access them remotely? Am I missing something?

[flexcoders] Command-line compiler Java errors
Hi all, I have Flex Builder 2 but I need to start using the command-line compilers to produce projects that are being integrated with a build system.

On 12/11/06, Lachlan Cotter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Peter, Thanks for this information, it has certainly helped to clarify some things in my mind. With Cairngorm Enterprise one of goals is to promote an application model on the client (RIA) and a domain model on server. We see the application model being a good OO model that reflects the UI and tells us about the entities and their relationships that we are surfacing. It will also encapsulate all the business rules that apply to the UI. I see this being different to the domain model and the business rules that reside on the server. The thing that is most interesting to me here is the talk of relationships because this is what seems to be lacking somewhat in the current Cairngorm paradigm. Not to imply that it can't be done, just that it doesn't seem to be part of the standard practice. This sort of shifts the concept we have at the moment, whereby you call a command, which may invoke a service via a delegate. In essence we are going to move the delegates behind the model and have the command call an operation on the model. This sounds promising. Where does this put the service locator? In essence it would be nice to see VOs / DTOs being used for transporting data rather than making their way in to the view via the ModelLocator. Again, glad to hear this is an issue for others as well. In simple cases, the VO is adequate because it sufficiently represents both the domain object and the view you want to take of it. When the relationships become more complex however, inconsistencies begin to arise. For example, when you have many-to-many relationships and such and you want to be able to traverse the object graph in bindings or whatever, you need to construct a more interconnected object graph rather than a collection of records as it were. Then you have the problem of how you get from A to B. Is there a best practice you are advocating for mapping and building object graphs out of data in DTOs? or is it left up to the specific requirements of the application? -- : Aldo Bucchi : mobile (56) 8 429 8300

Say a property doesn't have a latitude and longitude assigned yet, i would like a custom icon in the tree for that... as well as if the property isActive, and the different price ranges as well... so i think you are probably getting the point of what i want... I have a tree, and i want the leaf nodes to be those custom icons... The icons will depend on data in the dataProvider, but I haven't got the slightest clue as to how to even put a custom icon into the tree, let alone, differentiating the icon depending on data... if anyone out there has used custom icons in the mx:Tree that would be awesome I could probably figure it out from there... I've looked at extending the tree on livedocs http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=0856.html but it changes the display of the data, but I'm trying to chase down where the actual icon gets set, and I cant seem to figure it out... I will used the hasChildren() function to find out if the node is a leaf node or not, and if so then use the custom icon... anyway... Thanks for your time Axel Jensen
[flexcoders] Re: scrollToIndex just won't work ... any workarounds ?
If you are using xml in your tree, you can use e4x to manipulate which item you want to be selected by searching with e4x... for example: import mx.events.* import mx.rpc.events.*; import mx.collections.*; [Bindable] public var treeCollection:XML; /* this would be in your receivedEvent from your remote object or http call / treeCollection = new XML(event.result); /* your xml looks like this country state name=Alabama id=29 type=state city name=Birmingham id=233 stateID=29 type=city / city name=Mobile id=234 stateID=29 type=city / city name=Montgomery id=235 stateID=29 type=city / /state /country */ mx:Tree x=10 y=30 id=activeTree dataProvider={treeCollection} labelField=@name change=treeChange(); height=436 showRoot=false width=162/ say i want to select Mobile from the tree with actionscript, and i want my change event to happen, just like somebody clicked on it private function refetchCurrentCity(cityID:Number):void{ activeTree.selectedItem = treeCollection.state.city.(@id==cityID); activeTree.dispatchEvent(new Event(change)); } your treeCollection is already xml so you can go ahead and tear it up using the very awesome e4x! and then dispatch your change event or click event I'm not even sure if thats what your going for... but maybe that will help...
