RE: [flexcoders] Catching IOError on Loader
Loader doesn't dispatch an ioError event. (It isn't listed in the ASDoc
for Loader at
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/201/langref/index.html.) This event
is dispatched by the Loader's contentLoaderInfo object., which is an
instance of LoaderInfo. I don't remember at the moment why the Player's
Loader is designed this way.
Flex's SWFLoader and Image components do dispatch ioError events.

Subject: [flexcoders] Catching IOError on Loader
Hello, all:
I am using a Loader to retrieve a jpeg file that may or my not exist. If
it doesn't exist, I'm getting an Actionscript error message:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never
Completed.
I would like to catch this error and handle it gracefully; however I
have not been able to figure out how to catch it. Try/catch doesn't work
(probably because it's an asynchronous process). But I also tried adding
an event listener as follows:
function myPictureLoader()
{
var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader();
var pictURL:String = photos/NzPicture.jpg
var pictURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(pictURL);
pictLdr.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, handleIOError);
pictLdr.load(pictURLReq);
}
function handleIOError(event:IOErrorEvent) : void {
Alert.show('file not found', 'IO error');
}
However the listener function never fires and I still get the
Actionscript error box popping up. Any ideas?
TIA,
Robb Cundick

If you're not streaming them from FMS, you can also load the entire FLV into a ByteArray and parse the timestamps from the FLV tags for yourself using a bit of AS3 ByteArray magic. Provided there's nothing strange about your FLV, the timestamp on the last tag should be your duration. I recently ended up having to do exactly this to diagnose a particularly pestilent bug where some of my FLVs were reporting patently wrong durations as a result of corrupt tag timestamps. You can get the FLV file format documentation from Adobe here: http://www.adobe.com/licensing/developer/ If you go this route, watch out for the timestamp byte order, it's a 32-bit unsigned integer, but is formatted as a big-endian UI32 followed by a most significant UI8 rather than the typical order expected by the built-in readUnsignedInt() method.

Re: [flexcoders] What's the official consensus of using CodeBehind??
I originally was all go to separate the view and code using the source prop in a script tag. What i didn't like about this was that it was a loose link. Code behind makes this a more solid link but after experimenting with that also i've found I end up with some many files open it begins to turn into a negative. I've settled on putting code in a script block. For me it makes things more manageable and I really don't see the problem with having the functionality for that component inside it (just like all the classes in the framework (i.e. they don't have an AS class for the functionality, and then an AS class extending that which creates the view items)). cheers Tink On 8 Feb 2007, at 21:20, Ralf Bokelberg wrote: What is your reasoning to use code behind? Why would you want to double every class and add an additional inheritance layer just to separate Mxml from ActionScript? Why would you want to declare every component you are using twice, once in AS and the second time in Mxml? Is it to separate presentation from functionality? Generally this is a good idea, but i think it is important where to draw the line between the two. When you think of traditional systems with a template engine as the presentation layer, the templates also contain some code to build the presentation, while the functionality is implemented by plain classes. Now if we translate this thinking to Mxml and ActionScript, we should leave all the code we need to build the presentation inside the Mxml files and factor out the real functionality into classes. So i'd say, there is nothing wrong with ActionScript in Mxml files as long as it is strictly presenation related. Cheers Ralf.

[flexcoders] More Information About Adobe Flash Player Trace Move...
(This is regarding Adobe changing the trace output location done by
the debug flash player supplied with Flex 2.0.1 to C:\Documents and
Settings\{UserName}\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\Logs)
As I use the trace output from the flash player for my companies
flex continuous integration system (flexunit test results etc...) I
have had to investigate this much further. Here is what I have found
which I hope is useful to other developers:
Although Adobe have changed the debug player so it always outputs to
the \Documents and Settings\{UserName}\Application
Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\Logs, it is still possible to redirect
the output to another location by overriding the USERPROFILE
environment variable, using the following technique for example:
Step 1) Create a new directory C:\FlexTrace
Step 2) Under C:\FlexTrace directory, create the directory
\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\Logs, so you end up with
the following directory structure:
C:\FlexTrace
\Application Data
\Macromedia
\Flash Player
\Logs
Step 3) In directory C:\Documents and Settings\{UserName}, create a
mm.cfg file which contains the following lines:
ErrorReportingEnable=1
TraceOutputFileEnable=1
Step 4) From a windows command shell, type: set
USERPROFILE=C:\FlexTrace
Step 5) Execute a swf which includes trace (i.e. type
SAFlashPlayer.exe file.swf from the command prompt)
Step 6) If you then look in directory C:\FlexTrace\Application
Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\Logs you will find the file called
flashlog.txt created.
Notes For Above:
From my tests, the environment variables HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH are
no longer used for the location of the mm.cfg file (it MUST be in
the location specified in step 3).
Permanently overriding the environment variable USERPROFILE is
obviously not a good idea, so for step 4 you would normally make that
change just for the time you need it (for example in an ANT script
make it a local change when using the exec task).
There doesn't seem to be any way now to specify a trace filename, so
the easiest solution would be just to move/rename the flashlog.txt
file when your swf task is complete (i.e. if doing unit test runs).
You will notice that the flash player will (when some trace has been
written) create additional directories in the same sub-directory as
the Logs directory.

[flexcoders] Do I need an ISV support plan if...

Re: [flexcoders] Registration Points and Flex -
Hi Mike, I did notice recently that the zoomInstance class has a public registration point. I think you pass each icon into the constructor of a subclass of the zoomInstance class that determines, based on the icon type, whether to set the originx and originy to the center or the upper left. -Cort On 2/8/07, Mike Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello All, As all of you Flash People know, whenever you have Assets in your Library, they all have a Registration Point. I know 99% of you already know this, but for those who don't, the Registration Point is the spot on the Object, that is considered to be 0,0. Typically, it's either in the upper-left-hand corner, or smack-dab in the middle. This way, whenever you are Scaling your Object, the sizing will get bigger downwards and to the right, or it will scale evenly from the Center Out. With this said, after embedding all my Graphical Icons (which will serve as WayPoints for my Map Application), how can I control the nature of how these Icons Scale?? Some of my Icons, are drawn in such a way, where they have a little arrow in the upper-left-hand corner. That way, it's obvious to the user, that wherever they drop their WayPoint on the Map, the top of the Pointer on the Icon, IS precisely the spot where the WayPoint coordinates are referring to (and will scale accordingly from that point). Then again, some of my other Icons, are just general in nature, and those need to specifically scale from the CENTER Out. In Flash, I was able to tweak the Registration Points, so that they would automatically Scale the way I needed them to. BUT, in Flex, I don't even know where to start with something like this. Could anybody shed some light on this topic for me? Thanks in advance, Mike

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to have datagrids with different filterfunction for a single dataprovide
This is possible if you use the class below. It extends ArrayCollection and
adds two methods:
addReflection(reflection:ArrayCollection)
removeReflection(reflection:ArrayCollection)
This class makes sure the reflections share the list (inner dataProvider) of
the main collection. If something changes in the list all child components
will be refreshed automatically.
This class ensures that more collections share the same data, this helps you
in the sence that you dont need to copy the collections if you want to use
different filters for different views.

I can't find anywhere that we use startDrag()in the framework, including in the DragManager. My bad, you know what they say about 'assuming'. Just did some more digging, in the DragProxy class and was very surprised to see that it actually uses a mouse move event listener and then repositions the drag proxy based on the the x/y of the mouse. var pt:Point = new Point(); var point:Point = new Point(event.localX, event.localY); point = DisplayObject(event.target).localToGlobal(point); point = DisplayObject(dragInitiator.systemManager.topLevelSystemManager).globalToLocal(point); var mouseX:Number = point.x; var mouseY:Number = point.y; x = mouseX - xOffset; y = mouseY - yOffset; This just begs the question, why??? Why go through all that instead of just using the startDrag that is a core method of the Sprite class? Just to offset the DragProxy slightly from the mouse pointer? I don't get it, why bloat (in my opinion) the code. From my understanding classes and methods that are actually compiled into the flash plugin (ie the flash.* package) run faster than those that are not (ie. the mx.* package). I don't understand why all the extra code is required to accomplish something the plugin already has the ability to do.

Re: [flexcoders] Show/Hide Column of Grid using Context Menu
Hi Sanya,
I have done this in my app successfully, however with a different technique. My
context menu shows all of the columns in the datagrid, with a prefix that
denotes whether it is visible or not. Once clicked, it figured out which column
was clicked and toggle's the visibility. It works well.
I have a function which creates two ContextMenu objects, one that contains all
of the column names, and one that is empty. Since the ContextMenu has to be
associated with the datagrid before the right-click occurs, I dynamically
assign it within a mouseMove event (based on the value of the .contentMouseY
property).
This means the context menu with column names only show when you right-click on
the headers. I don't mind showing code except it's a bit of a mess at the
moment and might confuse the matter rather than explaining it.
Sorry I didn't run your example files so I'm not sure if I'm addressing your
specific problem or not.
Cheers,
Adam

Re: [flexcoders] Image versus SWFLoader for loading external SWF Files
Image is a subclass of SWFLoader. Thus SWFLoader is probably more lightweight than Image. Both import JPEG, PNG, GIF, and SWF. The only real difference is that Image implements IDataRenderer../core/IDataRenderer.html, IDropInListItemRenderer listClasses/IDropInListItemRenderer.html, IListItemRenderer. listClasses/IListItemRenderer.html See the API docs for more details. - Dan On 2/8/07, Mike Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello All, If I want to bring in an external SWF File, and this SWF File doesn't contain anything else other than pure Vector Information making up a map graphic, is there a real need to use SWFLoader? I mean, the true purpose of using SWFLoader to bring in SWF Files, is to gain access to any advanced aspects of the SWF - like Named Assets, Functions, the PlayHead in cases of a multi-framed SWF, etc. If this is the only reason, then using the SWFLoader would be overkill to bring in something that the Image could easily take care of correct?

[flexcoders] FormItem adds extra space on the left . . .
Does anyone know how to control the space within a FormItem? If I have a FormItem and then add a RadioButton (or any other control for that matter), I always get a bunch of extra space to the left of the control. That space cannot be influenced or manipulated with any of the available style settings for either the control or the FormItem. My problem is that I have to mimick an existing GUI, and for the purpose I would like to be able to figure this out. Any ideas how to get rid of that extra space?

RE: [flexcoders] Catching IOError on Loader
Thanks for the reply.
I did try just setting an image component's source property at runtime.
It works fine if the image is there but if there is no image it just
shows a blank (with a red x) and doesn't generate an error.
The reason I need to catch the error is that I am building a directory
application for an organization. Some people in the directory will have
a picture, but some will not. All pictures will reside in a folder at
the server end and be accessed via a URL. When a person's directory
record is loaded I will build the name of their picture using their
directory record ID. If a picture with that name cannot be found, I want
to display an alternate image (a blank image that says no picture).
So I just need some way to know if the picture file doesn't exist, in
which case I will point the image component to the blank image.

Hello, all:
I am using a Loader to retrieve a jpeg file that may or my not exist. If
it doesn't exist, I'm getting an Actionscript error message:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never
Completed.
I would like to catch this error and handle it gracefully; however I
have not been able to figure out how to catch it. Try/catch doesn't work
(probably because it's an asynchronous process). But I also tried adding
an event listener as follows:
function myPictureLoader()

var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader();
var pictURL:String = photos/NzPicture.jpg
var pictURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(pictURL);
pictLdr.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, handleIOError);
pictLdr.load(pictURLReq);
}
function handleIOError(event:IOErrorEvent) : void {
Alert.show('file not found', 'IO error');
}
However the listener function never fires and I still get the
Actionscript error box popping up. Any ideas?

Re: [flexcoders] StartDrag() versus DragManager.doDrag()
Hi Mike
I particulary do not like to use DragManager for containers or UIComponents.
I use both methods but in some case I just use isDragging method of
DraManager Class.
Here's a short example of that.
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.managers.DragManager;
private var check:Boolean = true;
public function allowDrag():void
{
window_1.cacheAsBitmap = true;
}
public function startDragg():void

{window_1.alpha = 0.4;
window_1.startDrag(false,null);
}
}
public function stopDragg():void
{
window_1.stopDrag();
window_1.alpha = 1;
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:TitleWindow mouseUp=stopDragg(); mouseDown=startDragg();
id=window_1 width=414 height=309 layout=absolute x=33 y=76

Imitate the same way of doDrag() method do. I just did mine way.
Best.

Hello All,
I am getting confused, as to which method I should use, for simply
panning around an Image/SWF file.
I did follow Michael's suggestions, and looked at the quick Dragging an
Image to Canvas tutorial contained in the help files. My understanding
is a little deeper, when it comes to using DragManager - but in my case,
I am getting some odd results.
For the purposes of strictly panning Objects around, startDrag() is
providing me better Visual Results - as it happens in real-time when
dragging the mouse around. When using doDrag(), it makes a copy of the
Object (I suppose, it's the Proxy being dragged) and then finishes the
move, upon the mouse release. Also, for some reason, when using
doDrag(), the Object doesn't always move the same distance, when
compared to the distance of the mouse drag. Really weird... And it
gets worse, the more distance I move the mouse. One last thing too, the
ImageProxy appears Outside of the container, when dragging the Image -
and in my case, my SWF File is 2,000 x 2,200 - so you can imagine the
whole screen filling up with my Image.
Since I am not doing any advanced functions, and just want to move the
Image around on the Screen, would it be acceptable to use startDrag()?
I guess what I REALLY need to find out, is if startDrag() and stopDrag()
will eventually be deprecated, or be considered NOT the way to handle
dragging Objects around.
Could any of you shed some additional light on this topic?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

[flexcoders] Personalized framework ASDocs
I want to create an ASDoc of the flash and mx packages with my own personal annotations (It just seems like a good place to keep notes and would be a convenient way to publish those notes if there aren't any copyright issues, which I'll have to look into). I've tried running ASDocs on the framework and I got all sorts of errors because of style include files (GapStyles.as, etc). This wouldn't have gotten me the the flash package anyway. Does anyone know if there's and ASDoc's decompiler (I understand this would only get me the interface of the code that is in the docs but that's all I want). thanks, - Dan
Re: [flexcoders] Re: StartDrag() versus DragManager.doDrag()
I can't speak to Adobe's intent, but I regularly avoid startDrag because I need more fine control over the drag. For example if you want to program a drag that implements snap to functionality, you're going to want to have direct control over the placement of the object, instead of letting the player handle it. As I said, I don't know why Adobe did it in this case, but here's an example of why someone might want to do it somewhere. - Dan On 2/9/07, Derrick Grigg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I can't find anywhere that we use startDrag()in the framework, including in the DragManager. My bad, you know what they say about 'assuming'. Just did some more digging, in the DragProxy class and was very surprised to see that it actually uses a mouse move event listener and then repositions the drag proxy based on the the x/y of the mouse. var pt:Point = new Point(); var point:Point = new Point(event.localX, event.localY); point = DisplayObject(event.target).localToGlobal(point); point = DisplayObject(dragInitiator.systemManager.topLevelSystemManager ).globalToLocal(point); var mouseX:Number = point.x; var mouseY:Number = point.y; x = mouseX - xOffset; y = mouseY - yOffset; This just begs the question, why??? Why go through all that instead of just using the startDrag that is a core method of the Sprite class? Just to offset the DragProxy slightly from the mouse pointer? I don't get it, why bloat (in my opinion) the code. From my understanding classes and methods that are actually compiled into the flash plugin (ie the flash.* package) run faster than those that are not (ie. the mx.* package). I don't understand why all the extra code is required to accomplish something the plugin already has the ability to do.

Re: [flexcoders] Catching IOError on Loader
Gordon's original answer, which is that the Image or SWFLoader
components dispatch ioError events, should still apply. If you set an
event listener for the flash.events.IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR event, then it
should get dispatched if the image file can't be found. Make sure you're
listening for the right event, assuming you are there shouldn't be a
reason it wouldn't get dispatched.
Alternatively, you could go another route, which is to define a custom
skin for broken images. SWFLoader and Image allow you to specify the
brokenImageSkin, which will be used to render the visual display of an
image that couldn't be loaded. You could set this to your no picture
blank image and then if the image can't be found it would display as you
want it to.

[flexcoders] Cairngorm: Set the DataGrid selectedItem value - best practice?
I'm interested what's the best practice for this issue: I edit a DataGrid items - not in the grid but in the form that pops up on items double-click. After the edited item is submitted to the database, I'd like to change it's on-screen appearance. If I change its value in a DataProvider - then the whole grid refreshes. I don't wand that, because I'd like my old item to ramain selected, only its values have to change. I've been using the Cairngorm, so I'd like this solution to be professional as it can be :-) For now, I hold a reference to my grid in a ModelLocator, so I can reset the selected grid item with syntax: ModelLocator.getInstance ().myGrid... and set its selected items value. I assume it can go smarter than that...

This is a major problem for us as we would like the focus and the prompt to stay in the active field on occasions where the content of the field is invalid.

Two examples: 1) you send your software to customers and include the Flex SDK so that they can compile SWFs or CSS, etc 2) as part of your product online you use the SDK to compile MXML on the fly So if you were to use the SDK to produce SWFs, then put those SWFs on your website, you have no obligation to us.

After spending several weeks programming using the Flex SDK, I found this on the Adobe website: For ISVs that develop software applications for sale that are built on or embed Flex, an Adobe ISV support plan and/or OEM license and redistribution agreement is required. I have a few questions: First, would this apply to any online Flex-based swf file that is only accessible to members of a subscription-based service?

My bad, you know what they say about 'assuming'. Just did some more digging, in the DragProxy class and was very surprised to see that it actually uses a mouse move event listener and then repositions the drag proxy based on the the x/y of the mouse. var pt:Point = new Point(); var point:Point = new Point(event.localX, event.localY); point = DisplayObject(event.target).localToGlobal(point); point = DisplayObject(dragInitiator.systemManager.topLevelSystemManager).globalT oLocal(point); var mouseX:Number = point.x; var mouseY:Number = point.y; x = mouseX - xOffset; y = mouseY - yOffset; This just begs the question, why??? Why go through all that instead of just using the startDrag that is a core method of the Sprite class? Just to offset the DragProxy slightly from the mouse pointer? I don't get it, why bloat (in my opinion) the code. From my understanding classes and methods that are actually compiled into the flash plugin (ie the flash.* package) run faster than those that are not (ie. the mx.* package). I don't understand why all the extra code is required to accomplish something the plugin already has the ability to do.
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Is it possble to drag and drop a line chart ?
I am sure there are a lot of interesting ways to tackle this. I doubt there is any kind of native support for this functionality, but it is a pretty interesting and fun problem to tackle. I would start by doing something like laying a transparent canvas over top of the chart component, and listen on all mouse events. On mouse down, capture the x and y of the mouse and determine which item in the chart has been clicked (either by doing some math or hardcoding the positions to start with). Then create a drag proxy which contains a representation of the bar/line being dragged, so it gives them the feel of actually moving the line item while the drag. On mouse up, after some logic to verify they are dropping it in a good place (same logic in dragEnter as well), you determine what has been dragged from the drag source and then manipulate the dataProvider behind the chart to reflect what has been moved. And of course add some sexy effects so the line graph transitions nicely from the previous state to the new state! Hope that helps some.

[flexcoders] retreiving object height after adding it as a child object
How or when can you retreive the height of a display object when you add it to your vbox or hbox. I have code that looks like this: var myObject:myControl = new myControl(); // call the public load method with xml to set some text // on myControl and other display values. myControl.load(myXml); myVBox.addChild(myControl); trace(myControl.height); // returns 0 if I add an updateComplete event listener to myControl, i normally get 4 calls to the handler since there are several phases in the layout. Which one is the last one? In theory the next one is the last one, i realize that. if i listen to the creationComplete event, it's only called once but it's dispached before it finished it's truly done sizing itself. even doing a callLater to get myControl's height doesn't work, too soon. SO at what point can i be sure that i can retreive the myControl.height property and know it's the final height?

records actions into scripts, then the tool plays the script back

RE: [flexcoders] Re: any interest in an alternative to QTP to automate Flex apps?
Yes, there is a licensing restriction on mx.automation. The
implementation of IAutomationManager which is the main entry point into
the system is restricted by the per-seat license of FDS as we've been
discussing. The reason the rest of the code is included is because you
need to be able to write your components to implement the appropriate
methods and whatnot to support the larger system. If you were a
component developer you can still implement the APIs for free.

I tried something else on a suggestion, that also did not work, even
though it seems OK.
I created a style sheet entry like this:
.legendRenderer
{
legendMarkerRenderer: ClassReference
(mx.charts.renderers.CircleItemRenderer);
}
I made sure the style sheet was included in my app.
I then set the style of my series like this:
for(var k:int = 0; k tmpSeriesArrayColl.length - 1; k++)
{
ls = new LineSeries();
ls.displayName = tmpSeriesArrayColl[k].name;
ls.yField = 'value';
ls.xField = 'time';
ls.form = line;
ls.dataProvider = tmpSeriesArrayColl[k].data;
stroke = new Stroke();
//Use the color specified in XML for the stroke
stroke.color = tmpSeriesArrayColl[k].color;
stroke.weight = 1;
ls.setStyle(lineStroke, stroke);
ls.styleName = legendRenderer;
this.linechart.series[k] = ls;
}
}
It still complained that the object did not find the IFactory
interface. So it is trying to load my renderer.
It looks like the answer would be to sub-class the renderer and
implement the IFactory interface.
Just thought I would share in case anyone sees this issue.

I have a form collecting data about an experiment. There's a numeric stepper that specifies number of repeated experiments there will be. Once the user enters all the data and presses submit, there's a state change triggered if the numeric stepper value is 1. I'd like the data from the form to be repeated the number of times specified and the only item that would change is the name of the experiment. These could also be text boxes that are editable so that the user can change certain aspects of each experiment. At this point, I can't even populate a datagrid manually.I also tried using a Repeater with no luck, I could only get the currentItem, it didn't generate multiple textboxes based on an ArrayCollection.

RE: [flexcoders] remove comments on compile - strip comments - optimize SWF size - reduce size
Comments are not compiled into the SWF; no source code is. The debug version of the SWF has opcodes which have file paths and line numbers. So there is a tiny effect from comments affecting the line numbers (possibly to have more digits) which can then change the SWF compression. But this is insignificant. Names like getVideoPlayer only appear once in the SWF (in the constant pool) no matter how many times you call this method, but the constant pool can still be sizable. A SWF obfuscator would presumably shorten the names (as well as make them unreadable), but Adobe haven't developed one and I'm not sure 3rd-party ones are available for Player 9 SWFs. - Gordon From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Hanson Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 10:40 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] remove comments on compile - strip comments - optimize SWF size - reduce size Is there a way to remove comments or strip comments out of the AS3 code during compiler preprocessing?

[flexcoders] Datefield inconsistencies? Or is it just me!
This little error is driving me crazy:
I am trying to populate a datagrid with values from a table based on
the day selected in the datefield. I can use the datefield to choose
and pass the value to my webservice but the result returned does not
reflect the date selected. For example I can select 2/9/2007 and the
service sends 2/8/2007 if it sends any data at all.
Is my error in flex or in my webservice. I know this is not a
coldfusion forum but I use a cffunction as my service. I feel it may
be flex related since occasionally I can get the same error in
VB.net.
When the component is created I set the default date of the datefield
using the following code in the DateField Creation Complete event:
creationComplete=dtcLogDate.selectedDate = new Date();
The initialized the data loads properly based on the above setting
but when I start changing the date is where the problem exists.
I pass the variable as the input parameter in the service using:
mx:request
dateVar{dtcLogDate.selectedDate}/dateVar
/mx:request
My webservice is below as you can see I receive the dateVar as a
cfarugment I then break it down into dayparts in order to filter my
data since the data, which being filtered is stored in mm/dd/

I don't know of gotchas right now. I don't think we can stop you from

we spent a while on them :-)

Ya...I discovered that there isn't an AutomationManager implementation
in the automation packages in the SDK. But now I am looking into
implementing the IAutomationManager and the IAutomationObjectHelper
myself with my own classes. With this I should be able to play
events to instrument the Flex ui components. Matt - do you know of
any gotchas that I should be aware of in doing this?
Thanks,
Brian

Yes, there is a licensing restriction on mx.automation. The
implementation of IAutomationManager which is the main entry point
into
the system is restricted by the per-seat license of FDS as we've been
discussing. The reason the rest of the code is included is because you
need to be able to write your components to implement the appropriate
methods and whatnot to support the larger system. If you were a
component developer you can still implement the APIs for free.

I think you could have saved yourself some time by adding
${FRAMEWORKS}\libs\automation.swc (there's also an
automation_charts.swc) to your project's library path.
Matt Chotin, et al: Is there a licensing restriction on using the
mx.automation package (i.e. FDS)? This thread has kind of lead me to
believe that there is, but I don't think it's been stated explicitly,
so maybe I'm just smoking.

I think it is fair to say that playback is essentially what you

example
records actions into scripts, then the tool plays the script back
and we
turn those into the playback commands. You can do the same thing.
Either you can write to the automation framework directly with
events,
or you could write some layer that takes your own scripting calls
and
generates the automation events for you. The automation framework
is
written in AS and exposes classes, methods, and events, so it is
capable
of being used programmatically.

Re: [flexcoders] more news on our upcoming marketing efforts
Hi Matt, Something I'd like to see would be a contest like you had when Flex2 first came out, but with two differences. 1) The focus is on porting open source libraries from other languages to As3. 2) The prizes aren't tv's, but licences to either Flash Media Server or Flex Data Sevices. That way if somebody has an idea that they think would be worth creating if not for the eventual server license costs, there is a real motivation to implementing it. If they sucede and it wins, maybe they can make a small business out of it. What programmer wants a tv? Programming is twice the fun. Put those servers at the disposal of some motivated individuals rather than just companies with capital funding at no cost to yourselves but providing ten times the value of a tv to the contestants.

[flexcoders] mouseOver an element within a TileList problem
Hello, I hope someone can help me with my problem - I think I may be missing something rather obvious. I have a TileList populated with data (ArrayCollection). Underneath the TileList I have a blank area. When the user mouseOver's a row in the TileList I want some of that data (for example name, category) to appear in the blank area. This sounds rather straight forward but I having a bit of a hard time getting it to work. Is there a way to explicitly reference the currently mouseOver'd object so it can be displayed outside the TileList. item renderers and repeaters don't seem to help much as I'm trying to display the content OUTSIDE of the TileList. I've also tried using IViewCursor (cursor.current.name) but it only ever displays the first element of the ArrayCollection. Any ideas much appreciated. Iain.

Re: [flexcoders] more news on our upcoming marketing efforts
I should add that there was one more reason I suggested this that relates more to your original question. I think the best way to start with Flex is not to focus on MXML or the Flex framework or the nice components or liquid layout so much up front, but to focus on the As3 language first. To just start with some text programming and implement something you've done already in another language seems to be the best way to start feeling comfortable with it pretty quickly. The graphics and layout and components are the thing that motivates one to use Flex in the end, but I don't think it's the best way to get familiar with the language and how it works. If you start out by creating your custom components and dealing with the larger UI framework it's easy to get bogged down with details. You find yourself focusing on style properties and framework issues, rather than the repeatable aspects of the core language. I think since I started looking at everything as As3 first, instead of Mxml, I've made quicker progress as a result.

[flexcoders] Re: remove comments on compile - strip comments - optimize SWF size - reduce siz
Thanks for your response and all the info about the way the SWF is compiled. I am looking for an obfuscator, but all the 3rd party tools out there are still in development. If the comments are not complied into the SWF then there must be something else that is causing the size difference - like line numbers issue you spoke to. I am working on 'lite' version of Cairngorm.swc. To do so I made a new Library project and put in all the com.adobe.caringorm.* source code (v2.1) I removed the business package and the SWC size drops to 8364 bytes I then remove all the comments the the SWC size drops to 8302 bytes The 64 bytes must just be the difference in line numbers. I just assumed that the comments were added in like in AS2. Perhaps I should remove all the extra line breaks in the code ... --jason --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Gordon Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Comments are not compiled into the SWF; no source code is. The debug version of the SWF has opcodes which have file paths and line numbers. So there is a tiny effect from comments affecting the line numbers (possibly to have more digits) which can then change the SWF compression. But this is insignificant. Names like getVideoPlayer only appear once in the SWF (in the constant pool) no matter how many times you call this method, but the constant pool can still be sizable. A SWF obfuscator would presumably shorten the names (as well as make them unreadable), but Adobe haven't developed one and I'm not sure 3rd-party ones are available for Player 9 SWFs. - Gordon From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Hanson Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 10:40 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] remove comments on compile - strip comments - optimize SWF size - reduce size Is there a way to remove comments or strip comments out of the AS3 code during compiler preprocessing?

I am working on an AS3 project (not mxml) and I am trying to get the final size down to less then 40KB. I am looking for a way to remove comments to make the SWF smaller.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: no rtmp connection on win xp ?
I think that this is just the generic can't connect error. Usually
you get this when the player is unable to connect to the socket. I was
going to suggest a firewall issue or something like that but you already
tried that?
Can you to something like:
telnet localhost 2038
If that gets Could not open connection to the host, it is a socket
problem with that machine - possibly still a firewall or etc\hosts entry
for localhost? If that is at least able to connect it will clear the
screen and possibly dump some garbage output. In that case it would
indicate it is a problem with flash trying to connect that is at least
not due to a system problem.

[flexcoders] Re: Controlling a Component in an Item Renderer
The field used to determine if the Item should be checked or not from
the list stand point will also be able to tell your Item to ckeck the
checkbox.
For Example:
xml data - rootitem check=yes /item ckeck=no //root
Load the data into your list. Then in your Item's MXML file, you'd
use something like this:
mx:Canvas xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
initialize=doCheck()
mx:Script![CDATA[
private function doCheck():void
{
if ([EMAIL PROTECTED] == yes)
{
// this is off the top of my head, so I don't know for sure
// if this is the correct property used to check the box...
myCheckbox.selected = true;
}
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Checkbox id=myCheckbox /
/mx:Canvas
Hopefully that helps you out! (I mean - I get what I'm saying...
that's not to say anybody else will get it though) If you need a

RE: [flexcoders] Controlling a Component in an Item Renderer
You must work with the dataProvider. The renderer must set its enabled state based on a field/property/attribute in the dataProvider in the set data() function. When you update the dataProvider using the API, and set the enabled field/property/attribute on the desired items, the itemRenderer will automatically disable the assocated checkboxes. You cannot directly control the checkbox in the renderer, but must work with the dataProvider. Did I mention that you must work with the dataProvider?
