[flexcoders] Re: Possible memory leak in e4x or in HttpService
The original data is filtered on server side. And in the original application I use xml format, not e4x. No leaking. The test files: It's a large file, yes. It consumes a lot of memory. But it's for testing. That's why you can see the leaking in seconds. But... If you test the program with e4x and leaktest.xml it does not leak. And leaktest.xml is a LARGE file. By the way... Thanks for your reply! I really appreciate it. :) Lacito --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Paul DeCoursey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I kind of doubt it's a leak. It's a large file and it's going to consume a lot of memory. An XML file larger than a 100k isn't going to perform well using DOM or E4X kinds of operations. I think you'd be better off doing filtering operations on the server using XSLT perhaps or some other stream based method. Keep in mind that an XML file stored in memory for an E4X operation will take up probably 5-10 times more memory than the document size. Add on top of that some overhead for the actual E4X operation and it could easily start adding up into the hundreds of megs. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, lacito.domingo lacito.domingo@ wrote: Hello, There is a new pbentries.xml file.

Re: [flexcoders] Exporting Charts as Image
Hi,
Here is my way to export image (PNG or JPEG) to a PHP server. The image
is available as if you post it on a HTML form, so in $_FILES variables.
First, I've added this 2 methods in JPEG and PNG encoder class :
public function encodeFromUI(target:UIComponent):ByteArray {
return this.encode(getUIComponentBitmapData(target));
}
private function getUIComponentBitmapData( target : UIComponent
) : BitmapData{
var bd : BitmapData = new BitmapData( target.width,
target.height );
var m : Matrix = new Matrix();
bd.draw( target , m );
return bd;
}
I've created a new method that encode and send the image :
var png:PNGEnc = new PNGEnc(); // PNGEnc is faster than JPEG encoder
var imageData:ByteArray = png.encodeFromUI(UIComp);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://your_url/print_bitmap.php');
var boundary:String = '--MIKA--';
url.contentType = 'multipart/form-data; boundary='+boundary;
boundary = '--'+boundary;
var data:ByteArray = new ByteArray;
data.writeUTFBytes(boundary+'\r\n');
// start new part
data.writeUTFBytes('Content-Disposition: form-data;
name=file_upload; filename=image.png\r\n');
data.writeUTFBytes('Content-Type: image/png\r\n');
data.writeUTFBytes('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary\r\n\r\n');
// write image data
data.writeBytes(imageData);
// terminate part
data.writeUTFBytes('\r\n'+boundary+'\r\n');
// start a new part if you want to send other POST variables
data.writeUTFBytes('Content-Disposition: form-data;
name=test\r\n\r\n');
data.writeUTFBytes('mikaflash');
data.writeUTFBytes('\r\n'+boundary+'\r\n');
url.data = data;
url.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
/*var Loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
Loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoadComplete);
Loader.load(url);
*/
navigateToURL(url,'_self');
Hope this helps you. May be there is a better way to do this, but it's
working fine for me.

Hi Prateek,
I have seen your query, I am also looking for similar solution.
Infact similar stuff I come across 3 years back When I was working
with flash-java.
That time I used POI for exporting charts grid data in excel sheets
which are templates (place holders) in server.
Now our client wants similar look feel charts as Flex.
For report generation I have tested
Adobe life cycle is perfect product, I m trying for images of charts also.
Bty why u need image, if only for printing you can print using print
job class.
Also check for flash paper.
Let me know if you get something goot for this.

I'm using modules to break up my app into smaller chunks. I was following the advice to create multiple projects (one for the main app, one for each module) and link from the main app to the compiled modules' SWF files that I've seen on this list as well as the revamped Module documentation when I ran into a problem. It was my understanding that I could create links from the main application bin folder to the SWFs in the module projects bin folders. However, the standalone version of Flex Builder 2.0.1 displays an error in the New File dialog stating Cannot create linked resource module.swf. Linked resources must have a project as their parent. if I attempt to create the resource link in any of the project subdirectories. The error disappears if I select the main project folder as the parent. This is really frustrating! Flex Builder won't compile a file into a SWF (by marking it as an application) unless it is in the project root. I thought that creating separate projects for modules and linking to their SWF files would get around this limitation, only to find it is just as limited. Am I really going to have to place the source files for my shell app and all of my modules in a single project root directory just so Flex Builder will build and place all of them in a single bin folder? I've already spent the past two days learning about Ant scripting so I could compile source files that weren't in the project root. Once I got that to work, I found that coding errors no longer show up in the Problems view (bye bye double-clicking to open the file and jump to the problem line) and the Run and Debug buttons won't launch the compiled app. What is the right way to make all of this work? -- WARNING --- This electronic message and its attachments may contain confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information, which is solely for the use of the intended recipient.

[flexcoders] Re: Getting notified when a user 'leaves/quits' the application
Julien,
Not sure what you're really trying to do here. A bit more of a
description would be useful. I'll take a shot anyway.
I'm going to guess that you've got your application running in a
browser. As such, you've got a couple options.
First, and most obviously, you could have a close button in your
application which logs you out or ends the chat or whatever. Just
leech off of that event, and away you go.
Secondly, if you want to try to capture the closing of the browser
window, there's a javascript event that you'll want to capture and tie
it to a method in your application through the ExternalInterface.
Here's a quick snippet of something similar to what I use:
[Javascript]
window.onbeforeunload = browserClosing;
function browserClosing(event_)
{
getSWF(MyTestApp).theBrowserIsClosing();
}
// Gets a reference to the specified SWF file by checking which browser is
// being used and using the appropriate JavaScript.
function getSWF(movieName)
{
if (navigator.appName.indexOf(Microsoft) != -1)
return window[movieName];
else
return document[movieName];
}
[/Javascript]
[MXML]
mx:Application ... creationComplete=load();
Script![CDATA[
private function load():void
{
if(ExternalInterface.available)
{
try
{
ExternalInterface.addCallback(theBrowserIsClosing,
theBrowserIsClosingHandler);
}
catch(e:Error){}
}
}
private function theBrowserIsClosingHandler():String
{
//Do whatever needs to be done here.
}
]]/Script
/mx:Application
[/MXML]
When your user hits the browser's close button, the onbeforeunload
event will fire calling the javascript method 'browserClose' which in
turn will call the 'theBrowserIsClosing' method in your application.
Hope that gets you pointed in the right direction. If not, be a bit
more specific about what you're trying to do.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Getting notified when a user 'leaves/quits' the application
I started to suggest the same thing about using the javaScript method. But
I haven't tested it yet and I am curious to know will that method in the swf
that is called by the js fire quickly enough before the actual session
closes?
Take for instance you want to save user preferences to a local shared object
onClose. I am just guessing here, but I would think that the browser's
internal close mechanics would not wait around for the js, and subsequent
swf methods to do their business.
Has this been tested and confirmed by anyone?

[flexcoders] Re: Getting notified when a user 'leaves/quits' the application
What is the intent here? The SystemManager has some events that might be of interest. deactivate is fired when the flayer loses focus... not sure if this is fired when the browser closes or when you browse to a different page, might be worth exploring. There is also idle, fired if the user doesn't do anything for a period of time, only 1 second, but could be useful if you are just wanting to save a state. I'd play around with deactivate and see when it fires. The javascript will probably be the best route however. pd --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, julien castelain [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I was wondering if there was a way to be notified when the user leaves or quits the application using AS3.

RE: [flexcoders] Exporting Charts as Image
I see your comment says png encoder is faster. One thing to keep in mind...
PNG encoder also creates larger bytearrays, which equates to larger file size,
which leads to longer upload/download times; especially as the image dimensions
increase.

Hi,
Here is my way to export image (PNG or JPEG) to a PHP server. The image is
available as if you post it on a HTML form, so in $_FILES variables.
First, I've added this 2 methods in JPEG and PNG encoder class :
public function encodeFromUI(target:UIComponent):ByteArray {
return this.encode(getUIComponentBitmapData(target));
}
private function getUIComponentBitmapData( target : UIComponent ) :
BitmapData{
var bd : BitmapData = new BitmapData( target.width, target.height );
var m : Matrix = new Matrix();
bd.draw( target , m );
return bd;
}
I've created a new method that encode and send the image :
var png:PNGEnc = new PNGEnc(); // PNGEnc is faster than JPEG encoder
var imageData:ByteArray = png.encodeFromUI(UIComp);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://your_url/print_bitmap.php
http://your_url/print_bitmap.php ');
var boundary:String = '--MIKA--';
url.contentType = 'multipart/form-data; boundary='+boundary;
boundary = '--'+boundary;
var data:ByteArray = new ByteArray;
data.writeUTFBytes(boundary+'\r\n');
// start new part
data.writeUTFBytes('Content-Disposition: form-data; name=file_upload;
filename=image.png\r\n');
data.writeUTFBytes('Content-Type: image/png\r\n');
data.writeUTFBytes('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary\r\n\r\n');
// write image data
data.writeBytes(imageData);
// terminate part

Hi Prateek,
I have seen your query, I am also looking for similar solution.
Infact similar stuff I come across 3 years back When I was working with
flash-java.
That time I used POI for exporting charts grid data in excel sheets
which are templates (place holders) in server.
Now our client wants similar look feel charts as Flex.
For report generation I have tested
Adobe life cycle is perfect product, I m trying for images of charts
also.
Bty why u need image, if only for printing you can print using print
job class.
Also check for flash paper.
Let me know if you get something goot for this.

Subject: [flexcoders] Exporting Charts as Image
Hi All
We are using Flex charts in our web app. We also have a need to export
the chart as an image so that the same can be embedded in an email sent out to
users.
Any pointers ?

[flexcoders] Re: Getting a component to hear click
I was able to get it to work by adding a listener for click but I don't understand why I had to do that. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what was going on? Thanks, Jack --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, jack_freud [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm still pretty new to making components. Basically this one is like an image that navigates to a URL in HTML-land, except that I want to make it so you can set its text and URL as properties of the component. Seems to be utterly simple. But I can't get it to hear the click event... It extends VBox and contains a label. It has a member variable of a URL and a click event so that clicking on the box (or the label) should navigate to that url. click does not show up in the auto-complete, but I get no errors when I implement it, and I see click there in the class hierarchy. But nothing happens. Breakpoints don't stop, nothing happens. What's got me puzzled is that in the mxml where I used this component, if I put code for the click event, it works flawlessly. Of course I could leave it there in the app, but naturally I'd prefer to encapsulate it so it has its own data and behaviors like any good little object. Is there something obvious I don't know?

[flexcoders] Re: Loading Image into BitmapData
Good Morning,
I've played around with this a bit to create pdf's from the chart

Here's how you would create a bit map object from an event result:
private function getBitMap_handler(event:ResultEvent):void{
var newBD : BitmapData = event.result;
targetImage.source = new Bitmap( newBD );
}
mx:RemoteObject id=BitmapCFC

[flexcoders] Windows Vista Flex
Hi All, I'm new to this group and thought I'd start a topic where people can post their experiences with Flex Builder 2 and Windows Vista. Here is mine: 1. Upgraded from Windows XP Home to Windows Vista Business. Chose the upgrade path..not the full reformat and clean install. (I wanted to see if I could get anway with not having to install the 5 million apps utilities I use. Might have been mistake #1) 2. Day 1 - Vista appeared to install and run fine. Flex Builder worked okay. However it did seem to compile / debug slower. 3. Day 2 - The trouble starts! Several times Flex Builder just freezes up. I can't even use task mangager to quit the application. I'm forced to do a manual reboot. Reminds me of the old Mac crashes! Ek. You know this is just bad stuff! This happened 6 times or so during a full day of work. Occurred when trying to SAVE WORK! Ironic, but saving became something I was AFRAID TO DO! 4. Day 3 - Flex Builder really acting funky now. When I try to compile / debug nothing appears in Firefox but a blank white page. This happens every time I try to debug or run my apps. So I reboot. Still nothing! Forced to uninstall Flex Builder. 5. After uninstalling Flex Builder I re-install it. Everything goes smoothly during install. Attempt to start application and get funky error that refers me to an error log. I locate error log, read thru it, and realize I'm screwed and can't fix things. Uninstall and re-install multiple times. Same deal! NOTE: Using trial version installer of Flex Builder 2.0.1 6. Realizing I can no longer use Flex Builder, I am forced to go back to Windows XP. While I reformat my machine (which is a Dell Latitude D820, Dual Core, Vista Capable machine) I'll be pulling out my Mac Powerbook. Recommendation: Forget Windows Vista! Stay with XP...or even better, just stick with the Mac in the first place! I always use both platforms...just because...and my Mac always comes out on top! I'm curious to hear what other people have experienced. Please share your experience =BC=

Re: [flexcoders] Re: flex and IE 7 problems.
btw. to clear things up. my issue was with flash player 8 (haven't tried 9 with this same bug), flash and it had to do with IE security. can you try it outside of your network? or come up with a simple example we can test? try it without setting the content type (as just a string). also try escaping the characters before you send them. if you can isolate the source you have something to work with.

Re: [flexcoders] new HTTPService() using AS
you need to add an event listener for the result event of httpService.
here is an example code for you :
public function listen(e:Event):void{
trace('listening');
}
public function dynamicReq():void{
var req:HTTPService=new HTTPService();
req.url=http://mydomain. com/my.php
;
req.addEventListener(result,listen);
req.send();
trace('sent req');
}

Subject: [flexcoders] new HTTPService() using AS
I need to specify variable result events for HTTPservice request I
hope to create dynamically.
I can build the request using
var requestHTTP = new HTTPService( );
requestHTTP. url = http://mydomain. com/my.php
requestHTTP. method
= POST; etc.
but I have not be successful specifying a variable result event. Is
there not a solution that would allow a totally dynamic HTTPService
request to be generated ?
Otherwise I have to hard-code each of the possibilities as a separate
component.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: addEventListener and additional arguments?
The reason I suggested an anonymous function was that it gave you the
opportunity to tie additional arguments to the function without the callee
being aware of it -- which was the original poster's question, how can you
pass additional arguments into a function that'll be called by an event
handler. This was my initial thought on how to do this (since functions are
objects).
If performance was a problem, I guess you could just create a wrapper object
with a single method. You'd create a new instance of that wrapper object for
each customized invocation of the function you wanted. Though that feels a
lot heavier, since the function that's bound to the event handler is a
method I guess its easier on the VM.

Another reason the anonymous function technique is not recommended for

the global object whereas if you use a method, the 'this' keyword refers to
that method's associated object.

The expense is in making an activation frame (or something like that)
for anonymous functions. I don't have numbers on how much worse the
performance is. It probably doesn't make a significant difference for
occasional events.
Nevertheless, when we write framework classes, we almost always use
methods for event handlers. Is there a reason that you prefer to use an
anonymous function?

How much worse is the performance? Are we talking on the order of a dozen
or so extra instructions or orders of magnitude more?
And I guess it would depend on the event being handled, right? Sure, it
may be cost-prohibitive for onEnterFrame, but what something like
onMouseDown or even onCreationComplete?
[Note: I'm using the old style event names as I find it more readable when
discussing them.]
And what's the expensive part? The binding of the anonymous function
object rather than a method, or executing the function object rather than a
method? I would assume the latter, since the former should be identical
(they're both objects, right?).
And doesn't an event listener just store a collection of Function objects?
So it's already dispatching through a function object, which makes me think
that the overhead is in managing closure, etc?

Remember, functions are objects to (so you can treat them like fancy
functors in C++):
var functor:Function = function(arg:String):String { return arg +
functor[param]; }
functor[param] = dolly;
trace(functor(hello); // outputs hellodolly
or, for events:
var myEventHandler:Function = function(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace(myEventHandler[extraData]); }
myEventHandler[extraData] = hellodolly;
this.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , myEventHandler);
// when you click on the stage, you'll get the debug message hellodolly
This'll give you what you're looking for. Not sure what the best way to
copy a functor object would be... but you could definitely just create a
new, separately named Function object for each form item that wraps your
function, passing in the the extraData.

The reason that clickHandler() can access 'foo' is that when

Re: [flexcoders] Windows Vista Flex
I have been using Windows Vista Home Premium with Eclipse and the Flex Builder plugin for several weeks now without any issues. I upgraded my machine with a clean install, and I made sure to use Eclipse 3.2.2. From what I understand 3.3 and 3.2.2 both include Vista-specific fixes, but Flex Builder has issues with 3.3. Everything is running smoothly, in fact Eclipse seems to load faster than it did under XP (but I am on a high-end machine with 2 gigs of RAM). - Eric Bryan Clover wrote: Hi All, I'm new to this group and thought I'd start a topic where people can post their experiences with Flex Builder 2 and Windows Vista. Here is mine: 1. Upgraded from Windows XP Home to Windows Vista Business. Chose the upgrade path..not the full reformat and clean install. (I wanted to see if I could get anway with not having to install the 5 million apps utilities I use. Might have been mistake #1) 2. Day 1 - Vista appeared to install and run fine. Flex Builder worked okay. However it did seem to compile / debug slower. 3. Day 2 - The trouble starts! Several times Flex Builder just freezes up. I can't even use task mangager to quit the application. I'm forced to do a manual reboot. Reminds me of the old Mac crashes! Ek. You know this is just bad stuff! This happened 6 times or so during a full day of work. Occurred when trying to SAVE WORK! Ironic, but saving became something I was AFRAID TO DO! 4. Day 3 - Flex Builder really acting funky now. When I try to compile / debug nothing appears in Firefox but a blank white page. This happens every time I try to debug or run my apps. So I reboot. Still nothing! Forced to uninstall Flex Builder. 5. After uninstalling Flex Builder I re-install it. Everything goes smoothly during install. Attempt to start application and get funky error that refers me to an error log. I locate error log, read thru it, and realize I'm screwed and can't fix things. Uninstall and re-install multiple times. Same deal! NOTE: Using trial version installer of Flex Builder 2.0.1 6. Realizing I can no longer use Flex Builder, I am forced to go back to Windows XP. While I reformat my machine (which is a Dell Latitude D820, Dual Core, Vista Capable machine) I'll be pulling out my Mac Powerbook. Recommendation: Forget Windows Vista! Stay with XP...or even better, just stick with the Mac in the first place! I always use both platforms...just because...and my Mac always comes out on top!

I need to do more testing on this case myself, but I think one of the big problems here is that we are trying to do conflict detection on our own in the hibernate assembler's updateItem method. Unless you are using a strict isolation level in your DB (repeatable read or serializable) this is not going to be transactionally correct anyway since the DB version can be modified after we have executed the query and before we do our update. We probably should not be getting the server version at all... hibernate has its own optimistic concurrency support that we should be using if it is enabled. That is probably the only way to get atomic conflict detection without resorting to using those particularly slow isolation levels. That would potentially get rid of the conflicting version of the item in the transaction. The other thing I need to look into is the merge method in hibernate.

Even the simplest of collection mappings in Hibernate cause various exceptions when trying to update. Before I post my details, does anyone have any examples of this that work? Has anyone ever even gotten this to work? I have two objects mapped in Hibernate: - Family Person where a Family has a Set of Person familyMembers. My FDS destination is to Family, and I am trying to update a family member (just the name) through this destination. First, I was getting Hibernate NonUniqueObjectException, which I finally tracked down to having my hibernate collection mapping set to lazy=false This caused all of the family member Person objects to be loaded into the PersistenceContext when the HibernateAssembler loaded the serverVersion of the Family. Then, once I set lazy=true on the collection mapping, I was getting an exception that A collection with cascade=all-delete-orphan was no longer referenced by the owning entity instance... since it is assigning a whole new collection to the familyMembers property one becomes unreferenced, and the other referenced. Sooo I can't use delete orphan to delete the family members when the family is deleted... OK. So then I make cascade=all. Now I'm getting ORA-01407: cannot update (SCHEMA.T_PERSON.FAMILYID) to NULL... I'm guessing that it's processing the dereferenced collection first (trying to detatch any Person's from the family before they're re-attached by the new collection.

[flexcoders] FDS/Hibernate - LazyInitializationException when writing AMF output
Hi again =) I've just started getting this exception inconsistently... sometimes it happens 3 times in a row, other times I can go all afternoon without getting it. Once the exception occurs, it will occur every time the client loads until FDS is restarted. Note this occurs on multiple collections. I tried setting the offending collection to lazy=false (in Hibernate), and the exception occurred on a different collection. I can't set every one of my collections to lazy=false. Especially since at this point, they HAVE to be lazy for the updateItem via hierarchical values to almost work. I also noticed that the collection does not necessarily need to have any items in it. (And possibly is caused specifically by NOT having any items in it, I can't tell for sure). The collection referenced in the exception below has no values, and there's another collection in that same class with values that doesn't seem to cause the exception. See below the hibernate mapping, and exception output when this occurs. (Note there are no FDS managed associations for this collection) Thanks for any insight you have as to what is causing this.

When I add a custom itemrenderer to a cell of my datagrid, the tabbing
order of my screen is broken, i.e., the cell with the itemrenderer is

What you need to do in this situation is handle your own tabbing
through the DataGrid. This can be accomplished by adding a
'keyFocusChange' handler to the grid.
The handler will have to listen for tab character. If it finds there
was one, then depending on the current row and column, it moves the
focus to the next cell desired. In this way you can skip cells you do
not want to have focused.
Here is a sample piece of code I used to manage tabbing in a grid that
has a renderer and editor in it.
// handler for request to move focus to next column when using tab key
in the DataGrid
private function handleKeyFocusChange(event:FocusEvent):void{
// make sure it is a focus change envent and the tab character
if(event.type == FocusEvent.KEY_FOCUS_CHANGE event.keyCode == 9){
var eip:Object; // used to set the focus at a row and column
if((DataGrid(event.currentTarget)).editedItemPosition != null){
var colPosition : int =
(DataGrid(event.currentTarget)).editedItemPosition.columnIndex;
var rowPosition : int =
(DataGrid(event.currentTarget)).editedItemPosition.rowIndex;
if(rowPosition = 0){
// going backwards off the datagrid
if(rowPosition == 0 colPosition ==0 event.shiftKey == true)
cb_manufacturer.setFocus(); // somewhere on the page
// going forward off the datagrid
else if(rowPosition == (receiptItems.length -1) colPosition ==
2 event.shiftKey == false)
ti_heat_number.setFocus(); // somewhere else on the page //
going forward/backward in grid
else{
switch(colPosition){
case COLUMN_QUANTITY: // QUANTITY
colPosition = event.shiftKey ? COLUMN_LOCATION : COLUMN_LENGTH;
rowPosition = event.shiftKey ? rowPosition - 1 : rowPosition;
break;
case COLUMN_LENGTH: // LENGTH
colPosition = event.shiftKey ? COLUMN_QUANTITY : COLUMN_LOCATION;
break;
case COLUMN_LOCATION: // PACKAGE
colPosition = event.shiftKey ? COLUMN_LENGTH : COLUMN_QUANTITY;
rowPosition = event.shiftKey ? rowPosition : rowPosition + 1;
break;
} // end switch
eip = {columnIndex:colPosition, rowIndex:rowPosition};
// focusColumn method sets the focus on the proper column
callLater(focusColumn,[eip]);
} // end else
} // end if

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Windows Vista Flex
I have a clean install of Vista Ultimate. The only problem I have had with Flex
Builder is that I get dumped into Windows Vista Basic Color Scheme when I
launch any designer pages. Since the Aero look is pretty much the only neat
thing I have found with Vista, it does make the upgrade somewhat worthless
(unless you care about UAC - which i promptly turned off).
Additionally, I am experiencing memory parity bluescreens with Vista
occasionally. This is probably related to some additional RAM I added prior to
the install, but it has been a looong time since I had a PC bluescreen.

You should just be able to send the content-type:image/jpg header in

Also, if you have retreived the binary data and are looking to push
that into the Image component (and this is very strange, and maybe
someone can explain this) but you can also pass a class into the very
same attribute and it will display the image. Here is a sample
derived from the Image documentation where you embed an image during
compile time and use that embedded data in place of the string.

[flexcoders] AS2 to AS3 - looping over loaded SWF
Hi there,

I've done this before in AS2 like this:

targetClip[i].scaleX = targetClip[i].scaleX * -1
}
}
What properties of the SWF or MovieClip Object should I target for my
loop. Or am I way off base?
Any help, would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 2 Compiler / Metadata Question
I've clarified the issue - posting so that if someone else runs into a
similar issue they can work around it.
In Flex Builder, the Additional compiler arguments field that is
available in Project-Properties-Flex Compiler is only applied when
the debug swf is built. They are not applied for the non-debug swf
(or at least the keep-as3-metadata argument isn't).
This obviously is a bug, but it is a bug in Flex Builder specifically
and not in the Flex2 compiler or sdk.
If you want to use custom metadata in run mode you will have to build
your project with Ant. I recommend using the new-ish Flex Ant tasks
even though they are quirky. The additional problem with these is
that the mxmlc task doesn't support the keep-as3-metadata argument. I
am guessing that a corresponding stub hasn't yet been included in the
Ant task to route the argument to mxmlc.
To get around this you will need to create a configuration file for
your project. It might be named myProject-config.xml and might look
like this:
?xml version=1.0?
flex-config xmlns=http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex-config;
compiler
keep-as3-metadata
nameCollection/name
/keep-as3-metadata
keep-generated-actionscripttrue/keep-generated-actionscript
/compiler
/flex-config
Where Collection is the custom metadata tag we want to use in our
code. You can put multiple name tags inside the keep-as3-metadata
tag. Now instead of just having this in your mxmlc ant task:
load-config filename=${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks/flex-config.xml/
You will need this:
load-config filename=${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks/flex-config.xml/
load-config filename=myProject-config.xml/
It will first process the default config file and then bring in your
additional configuration information.
Let me know if I am mistaken with any of the above, but we are up and
running now with custom metadata. We just develop in debug mode and
then use an Ant task to build and deploy a run mode swf to JBoss when
applicable.

--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, gtuhl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Ely,
Thanks for the response. Here is a brief example. I am now aware of
the [ArrayElementType] tag, but it still illustrates the issue well.
We have a value object that has some properties marked with metadata
like this:
public class ContactVO{
[Collection(type=String)]
public var phoneNumbers: ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
// more properties and methods follow
}
Now we have some code that attempts to read the type attribute out
of the [Collection] metadata tag we used. Here is a intentionally
drawn out example that uses hardcoded values to illustrate the
problem.
var contact:ContactVO = new ContactVO();
// get the E4X XML object description
var typeInfo:XML = describeType(contact);
// get the phoneNumbers property we marked up with metadata
var phoneDesc:XMLList = typeInfo..accessor.(@name == phoneNumbers);
// grab the Collection metadata description
var phoneMetaData:XMLList =
phoneDesc..metadata.(@name == Collection);
// grab the type argument from the Collection metadata
var metaDataDesc:XMLList = phoneMetaData..arg.(@key == type);
// finally, grab the value of this type argument
var typeValue:String = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
Alert.show(typeValue);
In debug mode all of the above works perfectly, and we see an alert
box with String. In run mode at some point in the metadata reading
code I get the following:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable is not defined
at global/flash.utils:getDefinitionByName()
// more stuff, but in our code
It is difficult to show you where exactly the failure occurs because
in debug mode it works great - this prevents me from using
breakpoints, getting line numbers, or using trace.
Now to debug this in some manner, we added an Alert.show(typeInfo)
immediately after:
var typeInfo:XML = describeType(contact);
In debug mode, it looks roughly like this (clipped out stuff that
isn't relevant).
type name=ContactVO ...
accessor name=phoneNumbers ...
metadata name=Bindable .../
metadata name=Collection .../
/accessor
/type
In run mode, it looks like this:
type name=ContactVO ...
accessor name=phoneNumbers ...
metadata name=Bindable .../
/accessor
/type
Note that the only difference is that in run mode, the second
metadata tag corresponding with our custom [Collection] tag has been
thrown out. We can provide a more complete example if desired, but
the xml difference really makes us believe the tag is being dropped.
In ALL of the above we are using a -keep-as3-metadata+=Collection
argument. Literally the only difference is whether or not we are
running in debug mode.
I appreciate any assistance with this,

Here's what I've learned so far: - If you set the style on the app's initialize or preinitialize, those changes aren't visible during the app's loading phase, so you end up getting the default theme until the loading is complete. - The backgroundColor property takes effect right at the start of loading, but backgroundGradientColors (to get a nice gradient during the load) doesn't seem to work. - The backgroundImage property will display an image after about 1 second (into the load), but the image doesn't fill the window (i.e. it isn't scaled) until after the load. Anyone have any ideas?

[flexcoders] Re: Getting notified when a user 'leaves/quits' the application
In the application that I'm developing, I do use the onbeforeunload
event and it works well for me. I do a check against the data that's
being worked on, and return an error message for a JS alert if it
hasn't been saved. The speed is exceptionally fast, but if you have
concerns you can preemptively pop up an alert and ask them if they
really want to quit, while in the background doing whatever AS stuff
you want.

Julien,
Not sure what you're really trying to do here. A bit more of a
description would be useful. I'll take a shot anyway.
I'm going to guess that you've got your application running in a
browser. As such, you've got a couple options.
First, and most obviously, you could have a close button in your
application which logs you out or ends the chat or whatever. Just
leech off of that event, and away you go.
Secondly, if you want to try to capture the closing of the browser
window, there's a javascript event that you'll want to capture and tie
it to a method in your application through the ExternalInterface.
Here's a quick snippet of something similar to what I use:
[Javascript]
window.onbeforeunload = browserClosing;
function browserClosing(event_)
{
getSWF(MyTestApp).theBrowserIsClosing();
}
// Gets a reference to the specified SWF file by checking which
browser is
// being used and using the appropriate JavaScript.
function getSWF(movieName)
{
if (navigator.appName.indexOf(Microsoft) != -1)
return window[movieName];
else
return document[movieName];
}
[/Javascript]
[MXML]
mx:Application ... creationComplete=load();
Script![CDATA[
private function load():void
{
if(ExternalInterface.available)
{
try
{
ExternalInterface.addCallback(theBrowserIsClosing,
theBrowserIsClosingHandler);
}
catch(e:Error){}
}
}
private function theBrowserIsClosingHandler():String
{
//Do whatever needs to be done here.
}
]]/Script
/mx:Application
[/MXML]
When your user hits the browser's close button, the onbeforeunload
event will fire calling the javascript method 'browserClose' which in
turn will call the 'theBrowserIsClosing' method in your application.
Hope that gets you pointed in the right direction. If not, be a bit
more specific about what you're trying to do.

[flexcoders] Row index
Hi, Can you help me getting the row index of some item in the data provider of a tree component. The dataProvider[0] is an XMLList and there is no method that could give the row index of any item inside the data provider without dispatching an event. The case is as follows: I want to check if the selectedItem index is higher than the index of a specified item (a reference) inside the tree but I couldn't get the index of the specified item since it is not clicked nor it dispatched any event. So can you help me with this? Thanks. Wael
Re: [flexcoders] How to get the current build options FB uses?
What is in the library-path of the dumped config file? Is there a
path-element involving 'libs'?
library-path
path-elementlibs/path-element
path-elementlocale/{locale}/path-element
/library-path
I'm told that any relative paths in the dumped XML config file are relative
to the frameworks directory (the location of the normal flex-config.xmlfile).
Ok, I can work with that. Obviously it would be ideal to not have to do
this, but adding the paths should be easy enough for a simple script/app.
... I just added ${flexlib}/ in places where a path looked like it was
needed and that worked.
You should be able to create an XML config file with all the options you
need. You should not have to specify any of them on the command line except
perhaps -load-config.
That's great! The only problem right now, besides the above issues, is that
SWCs added to the Library paths don't show up in the config XML. Are they
supposed to?
Right now this is what I see in the include-libraries node:
!-- compiler.include-libraries: a list of libraries (SWCs) to completely
include in the SWF--
!-- compiler.include-libraries usage:
include-libraries
librarystring/library
librarystring/library
/include-libraries
--
The SWC that I've included is a Library project that Flex Builder recognizes
from my projects.
Here is the commandline I'm using to try to compile:
mxmlc D:/Flex/test/test.mxml
The -load-config isn't required - because it's in the same directory as the
MXML file? - and if included in this case, gets loaded twice.
However, the compilation fails with an error because my SWC isn't included
in the config XML.
So close ...

To dump out all the options used for a compilation, in the same format as
the flex-config.file. However, I'm afraid that the compiler team and the
FlexBuilder team are separate, that this option is not widely used, and that
we haven't done a good job of making it easy to create one in FlexBuilder
and then use it for command-line compilation.
And will it enable me to do what I originally set out to do, which is: I

Yes, it should enable this but you may need to adjust some file system
paths. I'm told that any relative paths in the dumped XML config file are
relative to the frameworks directory (the location of the normal
flex-config.xml file).

No problem even if you were, Adobe loves to sell copies of FlexBuilder,
but we know we're never going to get to our goal of having a million Flex
developers unless a whole lot of them are using the free SDK.
If I HAVE to do this manually by writing everything on the commandline
then fine.
You should be able to create an XML config file with all the options you

Is there any library/api able to do that ?:

RE: [flexcoders] Windows Vista Flex

The only issue I've had was with incorrect problem information showing up in flex builder, which I explained in the following blog post, but I honestly think this was a flex builder issue. http://michael.omnicypher.com/2007/01/wheres-problem.html I was running Flex Builder 2.0 but have now upgraded to 2.0.1. I hope I don't run into these issues when installing the final release of Vista. Has anyone else made the jump from RC1 to the Final?

Here is mine: 1. Upgraded from Windows XP Home to Windows Vista Business. Chose the upgrade path..not the full reformat and clean install. (I wanted to see if I could get anway with not having to install the 5 million apps utilities I use. Might have been mistake #1) 2. Day 1 - Vista appeared to install and run fine. Flex Builder worked okay. However it did seem to compile / debug slower. 3. Day 2 - The trouble starts! Several times Flex Builder just freezes up. I can't even use task mangager to quit the application. I'm forced to do a manual reboot. Reminds me of the old Mac crashes! Ek. You know this is just bad stuff! This happened 6 times or so during a full day of work. Occurred when trying to SAVE WORK! Ironic, but saving became something I was AFRAID TO DO! 4. Day 3 - Flex Builder really acting funky now. When I try to compile / debug nothing appears in Firefox but a blank white page. This happens every time I try to debug or run my apps. So I reboot. Still nothing! Forced to uninstall Flex Builder. 5. After uninstalling Flex Builder I re-install it. Everything goes smoothly during install. Attempt to start application and get funky error that refers me to an error log. I locate error log, read thru it, and realize I'm screwed and can't fix things. Uninstall and re-install multiple times. Same deal! NOTE: Using trial version installer of Flex Builder 2.0.1 6. Realizing I can no longer use Flex Builder, I am forced to go back to Windows XP.

Julien,
Not sure what you're really trying to do here. A bit more of a
description would be useful. I'll take a shot anyway.
I'm going to guess that you've got your application running in a
browser. As such, you've got a couple options.
First, and most obviously, you could have a close button in your
application which logs you out or ends the chat or whatever. Just
leech off of that event, and away you go.
Secondly, if you want to try to capture the closing of the browser
window, there's a javascript event that you'll want to capture and tie
it to a method in your application through the ExternalInterface.
Here's a quick snippet of something similar to what I use:
[Javascript]
window.onbeforeunload = browserClosing;
function browserClosing(event_)
{
getSWF(MyTestApp).theBrowserIsClosing();
}
// Gets a reference to the specified SWF file by checking which
browser is
// being used and using the appropriate JavaScript.
function getSWF(movieName)
{
if (navigator.appName.indexOf(Microsoft) != -1)
return window[movieName];
else
return document[movieName];
}
[/Javascript]
[MXML]
mx:Application ... creationComplete=load();
Script![CDATA[
private function load():void
{
if(ExternalInterface.available)
{
try
{
ExternalInterface.addCallback(theBrowserIsClosing,
theBrowserIsClosingHandler);
}
catch(e:Error){}
}
}
private function theBrowserIsClosingHandler():String
{
//Do whatever needs to be done here.
}
]]/Script
/mx:Application
[/MXML]
When your user hits the browser's close button, the onbeforeunload
event will fire calling the javascript method 'browserClose' which in
turn will call the 'theBrowserIsClosing' method in your application.
Hope that gets you pointed in the right direction. If not, be a bit
more specific about what you're trying to do.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference
Some objects have .someValue property and some do not.
It sounds like the objects in your dataProvider are instances of various
non-dynamic classes, where some of the classes declare a someValue
property and others don't.
Is this correct? If so, you don't ant to write code like
if (dataProvider[i].someValue == null)
because you get a ReferenceError if you access a nonexistend property of
a non-dynamic class. You should only write this if your dataProvider
objects are dynamic.
Instead, try
if (dataProvider[i].hasOwnProperty(someValue))

RE: [flexcoders] How to get the current build options FB uses?
The only problem right now, besides the above issues, is that SWCs

Yes.
Right now this is what I see in the include-libraries node:
When I add a SWC to FlexBuilder's Library Path pane, it appears in the
library-path node of the dumped config file. I don't think FlexBuilder
uses the include-libraries option, which I believe is for forcing a SWC

To dump out all the options used for a compilation, in the same

Yes, it should enable this but you may need to adjust some file

My company owns multiple copies of Flex Builder, so I'm not

No problem even if you were, Adobe loves to sell copies of
FlexBuilder, but we know we're never going to get to our goal of having
a million Flex developers unless a whole lot of them are using the free

If I HAVE to do this manually by writing everything on the

RE: [flexcoders] Can't we access MovieClips contained in embedded SWF's?
Hello Scott (in particular) :)
You mentioned a Proxy - what you do mean by this exactly?
Is this supposed to be some custom class that I write? If so, what is
supposed to be contained within it?
I did read up on the Document Object, and I am now doing my Flash 9 FLA
files with a custom Document Class, representing the Root Timeline. I
am pretty sure I did it right, since I am getting no compile errors.
But my question is, is the AS3 Class File I used for the Document
Object, strictly used for the FLA file? Or is this also used inside of
Flex Builder, after I bring the external SWF file in?
This is where I am getting a little confused.
All the articles I find on this topic, covers the Flash side of things -
and they never take that next step, and tell you how to reference it
inside of Flex.
If you have anything else on this topic, I'd really be grateful for your
help.

If you are using Flash 9, you can use a document class (I believe) at
the root level and have Flex reference it by that. Your document class
would set up an API, so you don't have to peer into the movie itself.
Basically a proxy. Sorry I don't have the implementation in front of me,

So, if previous code was correct, could do something like:
var platProxy:YourProxy = platObject.getChildByName('instancename') as

platProxy.hideAll();
platProxy.showByID( {id:'plat_xxx'} );

Re: [flexcoders] Can't we access MovieClips contained in embedded SWF's?
Yeah, sorry. I'm not 100%, but you should be able to reference your loaded
movie by that class type (your document class), from within Flex. I believe
another gentleman referred to that, in this thread. Hold on, I did it, with
a loader... I'll try to attach code.
The proxy is just a design idea, meaning you define an interface to your
movie in your class, instead of referencing elements within the movie from
Flex. Then, the only thing that will break your flash / flex connection is
to break that interface. For instance, your map(?) class could have
functions like:
showPlat( id:Object );
where the class implementation can decide what to do with the call, instead
of having your flex app nose through the contents. That's a good design
practice to get into:
'Always code to interfaces, not implementations.'
Ok, so here's one of those do as I say, deals.. Also, my implementation may
be a bit different here, than what we were talking about. This was a quick
fix to enable custom loading logic, for the default Flex 2 application
loading bar. In this case, I'm actually assigning the class under the
'linkage' option of my library clip (progress bar) to point to:
com.tc.view.preload.ProgressBarSymbol, and publishing in Flash 9. Then, when
you instantiate the class in Flex 2, you'll get a direct link. In your case,
i would suggest a document class, for the entire movie.
//I just used this class to enable me to access a loading bar quick. If this
was going to
//scale / change, I would have defined public methods to update this view.
//I swear!!
package com.tc.view.preload
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Embed(source=/library.swf, symbol=
com.tc.view.preload.ProgressBarSymbol)]
public class ProgressBarSymbol extends Sprite
{
public var progress_bar:MovieClip;
public var loading_text:TextField;
}
}
//And instantiated in Flex 2 by using:
var bar:ProgressBarSymbol = new ProgressBarSymbol();

Mike,
I tried setting up a document class for Flash 9, but when you place named
items on stage, you get this error:
ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property square_mc on
com.cpile.flextoflash.FlexToFlashMain.

at flash.display::MovieClip$iinit()
at com.cpile.flextoflash::FlexToFlashMain$iinit()
Adobe guys, is this correct? My understanding from looking around is that
with the document class in Flash 9, you can only add items to the stage
through code. That seems to negate a lot of the advantage of using a
graphical interface... ok, so you could have a clip in your library that has
the stage set up... hmmm that may do it! I'll write back when I have
something. Otherwise, what i have sent is an effective way to access items
on the stage.

loading bar. In this case, I'm actually assigning the class under the
'linkage' option of my library clip (progress bar) to point to:
com.tc.view.preload.ProgressBarSymbol, and publishing in Flash 9. Then,
when you instantiate the class in Flex 2, you'll get a direct link. In your
case, i would suggest a document class, for the entire movie.

Is this supposed to be some custom class that I write? If so, what is

I did read up on the Document Object, and I am now doing my Flash 9 FLA
files with a custom Document Class, representing the Root Timeline. I am
pretty sure I did it right, since I am getting no compile errors.
But my question is, is the AS3 Class File I used for the Document
Object, strictly used for the FLA file? Or is this also used inside of Flex
Builder, after I bring the external SWF file in?
This is where I am getting a little confused.
All the articles I find on this topic, covers the Flash side of things -
and they never take that next step, and tell you how to reference it inside
of Flex.
If you have anything else on this topic, I'd really be grateful for your

If you are using Flash 9, you can use a document class (I believe) at
the root level and have Flex reference it by that. Your document class would
set up an API, so you don't have to peer into the movie itself. Basically a
proxy. Sorry I don't have the implementation in front of me, but I believe
it's possible.
So, if previous code was correct, could do something like:
var platProxy:YourProxy = platObject.getChildByName('instancename') as
YourProxy
platProxy.hideAll();
platProxy.showByID( {id:'plat_xxx'} );
Just an idea!

Any Adobe or other people who have some resources out there for interfacing
Flash 9 - Flex 2 apps? This seems to be a critical area, as Flash 9 IDE
release looms..
Here's some interesting info on using Flash 9, but still not a solution to
the Flex interface.

Adobe guys, is this correct? My understanding from looking around is that
with the document class in Flash 9, you can only add items to the stage
through code. That seems to negate a lot of the advantage of using a
graphical interface... ok, so you could have a clip in your library that has
the stage set up... hmmm that may do it! I'll write back when I have
something. Otherwise, what i have sent is an effective way to access items

The proxy is just a design idea, meaning you define an interface to your
movie in your class, instead of referencing elements within the movie from
Flex. Then, the only thing that will break your flash / flex connection is
to break that interface. For instance, your map(?) class could have
functions like:
showPlat( id:Object );
where the class implementation can decide what to do with the call,
instead of having your flex app nose through the contents. That's a good

Remember, it's not really Flash 9, it's really just Flash 8 with a
preview of AS 3.0, even if they are calling it Flash 9 Pro AS3 preview
- Flash 8 with a compiler to compile to Flash 9 player/AS3. When Flash
9 comes out, I'm sure you'll be able to add items to the stage through
the GUI. I think they kinda made a mistake calling it Flash 9 Pro AS3
Preview, it's confused a lot of people. At least the docs on their
site explain it well.

Re: [flexcoders] Populating DataGrid from XML attributes
or in your datagrid datacolumn for the dataField just use
@attributename, such as @name or @value.
for an xml such as this: var myXML:XML = usersuser name=blah
value=asdf/users;
you can bind it to dataprovider like this: myGrid.dataprovider =
myXML.children();
which produces an XMLList which is bindable.
now, if you want to really bind it and make sure changes are propagated back
to the list you just create a variable of xmllist type, assign
myxml.children() to it, and set it to bindable such as this:
[Bindable]
var myXMLList = myXML.children();
mygrid.dataprovider = myXMLList;
that's it!
