[flexcoders] Re: Apparent Bug in LineCharts - filterData property Kills Data Tips
Extend the LineSeries class. Override the findDataPoitns function.
In its body, paste a copy of that from the original LineSeries class.
Change the if (!isNaN(v.yFilter) !isNaN(v.xFilter)) to if
(!isNaN(v.yNumber) !isNaN(v.xNumber)). Replace all _renderData
references with just renderData. I thought that last bit was obvious
because I assumed you'd actually looked at the source code properly.

Have you figured out a way to do this by extending the LineSeries
class, rather than replacing it? I can copy the code in LineSeries to
my own file, and have the compiler use that, rather than the internal
one. Then I can do the fix. However, I cannot actually do it by
extending LineSeries, because findDataPoints references private
variables and functions (like nearly all the mx functions we'd like to
extend :-( ).

I noticed this bug several weeks ago and fortunately I managed to find

You'll have to have a poke around in the LineSeries source code to
fully understand what I'm saying here. You need to extend the
LineSeries class and extend the findDataPoints function. In the
LineSeries' findDataPoints function the if (!isNaN(v.yFilter)
!isNaN(v.xFilter)) condition will fail because when filterData = false
and the filterCache function of the series is called (this happens
when the min or max of an axis is set because the mapping changes) the
.yFilter and xFilter properties will be set to NaN for the points.
That makes sense in it's own way, but the upshot of that is that the
minItem variable is never set and, therefore, an empty array will
always be returned.
So the fix is to copy the code from the LineSeries source code and in
your overriding function change the if (!isNaN(v.yFilter)
!isNaN(v.xFilter)) condition to if (!isNaN(v.yNumber)
!isNaN(v.xNumber)). So yes, this is a nasty little hack but I haven't
found any other way to solve the problem.
Hope that helps,
Graham

If I take the standard line chart demo code, and add showDataTips to
the line chart, they display normally. Yet, the moment I set
filterData to false on one of the LineSeries, it kills data tips for
this series. I think this is a bug in the charting components,
as the
data tips and the filterData attribute do not conflict for column
charts.

All I want to show is the headerText with a backgroundColor in the header.

All I get at the moment is a blank header, with nothing in it and the
same as the default header colors.

[flexcoders] is it a Flex compiler bug?
We ran into something that looks like a compiler bug. Please take a
look at the code below and correct me if I am wrong. The object model
and the class names of the code below may not make any sense, I put it
together to demonstrate the problem.
Here's a class with a static property:
package
{
public class StaticClass
{
public static function get Account():String
{
return my account name;
}
}
}
Here's a class inheriting from the class shown above:
package
{
public class NonStaticClass extends StaticClass
{
public var _parentAccount:Account;
public function NonStaticClass()
{
_parentAccount = new Account();
}
}
}
And finally the Account class used in the NonStaticClass:
package
{
public class Account
{
public var name:String;
}
}
The compiler reports two problems with the code. Both in the
NonStaticClass:
1. Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Account.
This one shows up for the _parentAccount field declaration
2 Call to a possibly undefined method Account
This error shows up for the initialization of the _parentAccount field
in the NonStaticClass constructor.
It looks like there are two problems in the compiler:
1. Compiler attempts to inherit static declarations
2. As a result of (1), the compiler gets confused between the static
property and a class type
Cheers,
Mark

For a doubleClick event to occur, it must immediately follow the following series of events: mouseDown, mouseUp, click, mouseDown, mouseUp. All of these events must share the same target as the doubleClick event. The second click, represented by the second mouseDown and mouseUp events, must occur within a specific period of time after the click event. The allowable length of this period varies by operating system and can often be configured by the user. If the target is a selectable text field, the word under the pointer is selected as the default behavior. If the target InteractiveObject does not have its doubleClickEnabled flag set to true it receives two click events. R.

RE: [flexcoders] compc - degrees of specification
A typical way to do this is to first create a manifest file for the components in the library, so that they can be associated with a namespace of your choosing that is unrelated to your package hierarchy. (Take a look at the file mxml-manifest.xml in the frameworks directory. The flex-config.xml file associates this manifest file with the single namespace http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml despite the fact that its classes are in various packages like mx.controls, mx.containers, etc.) After you have set up a manifest file, you can use compc's -namespace and -include-namespaces options to include all the components in that namespace's manifest (and all the classes that they depend on) without naming each one: compc -namespace http://www.yourcompany.com/flex/coolcomponents mycoolcomponents-manifest.xml -include-namespaces http://www.yourcompany.com/flex/coolcomponents If there are other classes that should go into your SWC which aren't listed in your manifest or which the compiler can't discover by doing a dependency analysis starting from the classes in your manifest, then you can use the -include-classes option to list them one-by-one. - Gordon From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of alehrens Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2007 8:44 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] compc - degrees of specification Hi, I'm tinkering with using Ant for our flex build...

RE: [flexcoders] Cairngorm - design question, need suggestions-best practices
Unless I am misunderstanding your question, this does not really sound like a problem the MVC design pattern, but rather a typical client-server app problem. To ensure that all of your clients always have the most up to date info, you really only have a few options. Push updates from the server to the clients using something like FDS Poll the server constantly to see if any changes have occurred since your last poll and pull down the latest data if so Either solution, you would then just update your cairngorm model with the data received in the result event (in the pulling case via a service) and if your controls are bound to your model then they would update automatically after the data transfer completed. Of course there are tons of other considerations that come into play in this scenario like conflict resolution, which can be solved with a complex merge/purge based solution or a last in wins kind of thing. All problems that just about every client server app has to face when dealing with multiple clients modifying the same data. Just some things to think about. If I am off base from your question, just let me know.

Hi Michael
I had them slightly different, I tried your way also and didn't
work :(
Class mapping succeded when I rewrote in Flex:
[RemoteClass( alias=LoginVO )]
and setup $gateway-setClassM appingsPath( 'com/virtualro/ vo/');
If $gateway-setClassM appingsPath( 'com/virtualro/ vo/') and
[RemoteClass( alias=com. virtualro. vo.LoginVO )] then amfphp
looked for
the classes for mapping in com/virtualro/ vo/com/virtualro /vo/

didn't exists.

But on the printouts i have different spacings to the bottom of the
page or data are cut off.
Following Code is my Printfunction:
var myPrintDataGrid :PrintDataGrid = new PrintDataGrid;
var myPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
if (myPrintJob.start())
{
myPrintDataGrid = this.PrintGrid;
myPrintDataGrid.width = myPrintJob.pageWidth;

[flexcoders] Chart DataProvider ArrayCollection
When I set my chart's data provider using the following approach, it

company4:132, company5:142};

col.addItem(a1);
col.addItem(a2);
col.addItem(a3);
col.addItem(a4);
col.addItem(a5);
chart.setSeries...
chart.setDataProvider(col);
But, if I use the following approach, the chart does not show up. My
y-axis actually adjusts properly implying that the data is being fed
into the chart, but the series themselves don't show up. Any idea why?
var coll = FABridge.example.create(mx.collections.ArrayCollection);

var dataArray = FABridge.example.create(Array);
for (var j = 0; j 6; j++) {

and elemValue
dataArray.push(elemName + : + elemValue);

Re: [flexcoders] is it a Flex compiler bug?
Mark Piller wrote:
We ran into something that looks like a compiler bug. Please take a
look at the code below and correct me if I am wrong. The object model
and the class names of the code below may not make any sense, I put it
together to demonstrate the problem.
Here's a class with a static property:
package
{
public class StaticClass
{
public static function get Account():String
{
return my account name;
}
}
}
That staticfunction looks a bit strange i think. Shouldnt that function be:
public static function get account():String{
return my account name;
}
Here's a class inheriting from the class shown above:
package
{
public class NonStaticClass extends StaticClass
{
public var _parentAccount:Account;
public function NonStaticClass()
{
_parentAccount = new Account();
}
}
}
And finally the Account class used in the NonStaticClass:
package
{
public class Account
{
public var name:String;
}
}
The compiler reports two problems with the code. Both in the
NonStaticClass:
1. Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Account.
This one shows up for the _parentAccount field declaration
Isn't that caused by a simple scope problem?
2 Call to a possibly undefined method Account
This error shows up for the initialization of the _parentAccount field
in the NonStaticClass constructor.
see above.
It looks like there are two problems in the compiler:
1. Compiler attempts to inherit static declarations
2. As a result of (1), the compiler gets confused between the static
property and a class type

Re: [flexcoders] Creating Thumbnails from large images on the fly. Possible?
Definitely possible -- I do it using a function like so:
public function getBitmapData(target:UIComponent, scale:Number =
0.):BitmapData
{
var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(target.width * scale,
target.height * scale);
var m:Matrix = new Matrix();
m.scale(scale, scale);
bd.draw(target, m);
return bd;
}
Basically what that function does, it accepts a target UIComponent to
draw the thumbnail from (in my case it's usually charts, but to do
what you're after you might use an Image or an SWFLoader). It also
accepts a scale to upsize/downsize the bitmap to... by default it does
it 1/3 of the size.
Cheers,
Brian

[flexcoders] Printing Mailing labels
I need to explore the possibility of printing mailing labels directly from my Flex app versus dumping the records to excel or another application. It seems to me that Flex printing would produce a print job for every record - queuing perhaps hundreds of print jobs to the printer.

[flexcoders] Re: Are other developers hesitant to extend existing classes in Flex?
I am currently working on a project where we have had to extend many of the framework controls and containers to add extra functionality or fix little things that were bothersome. While it has been an very difficult task in places is has not been impossible. I certainly would not advocate the 'cut and paste' method, there are always ways around that, it's just a case of finding the right solution. One thing I would recommend is really digging into all the source code for the framework stuff. Being able to understand the different pieces and how they relate and inter operate is a huge first step in being able to make any significant extensions. Regarding the private vars and functions, I would suggest looking hard at how they work, what it is you need to do, and then trying very hard to find something that works (sometimes thinking completely outside of the box, ie deleting and reinitializing certain inherited variables or objects to get them working correct). I have found that the areas in the framework that are private are so for a reason and workarounds can be found. Anywhere they exist means Adobe would be having the same issues in attempting to extend them, so there must be another way. Determining exactly which item to extend is a big part of the process. Sometimes (especially with containers) the one you think you need to extend is not always the right one, potentially the parent class is actually a better fit and you can reuse some of the extended logic in the container you wanted to extend, in your own new class, to get the job done. Good luck, it's painful, but doable. Derrick - Derrick Grigg [EMAIL PROTECTED]

At the end of a day full of fiddling i found a variable or method within the mx_internal namspace (which is publicly available).

That staticfunction looks a bit strange i think. Shouldnt that function
be:
public static function get account():String{
return my account name;
}
Here's a class inheriting from the class shown above:
package
{
public class NonStaticClass extends StaticClass
{
public var _parentAccount:Account;
public function NonStaticClass()
{
_parentAccount = new Account();
}
}
}
And finally the Account class used in the NonStaticClass:
package
{
public class Account
{
public var name:String;
}
}
The compiler reports two problems with the code. Both in the
NonStaticClass:
1. Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Account.
This one shows up for the _parentAccount field declaration
Isn't that caused by a simple scope problem?
2 Call to a possibly undefined method Account
This error shows up for the initialization of the _parentAccount field
in the NonStaticClass constructor.
see above.
It looks like there are two problems in the compiler:
1. Compiler attempts to inherit static declarations
2. As a result of (1), the compiler gets confused between the static
property and a class type

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Are other developers hesitant to extend existing classes in Flex?
If you want to say that we shouldn't rely on needing access to any private variables, it's only a small difference to say it's OK to rely on mx_internal variables. The internal vars are marked as such because they might change in future releases. So if the objection is that your code might break because Adobe releases updates to the framework class you're using, then the same problem exists if you use the mx_internal vars. And I agree, Adobe made design choices about what you should need access to when you are extending components. This means they run into some of the same coding problems if they were to try to subclass these classes as well. But all that means is that Adobe can't make the extensions that we also can't make. And let's remember that the choices made by the Adobe flex framework team are just choices made by other programmers (albeit some damn good ones), but fallible programmers nonetheless. They try to anticipate what will be needed to make powerful extensions of components. But it's hard to look down the road and figure out what people will want to do. And often there is a workaround that can accomplish what you need without accessing private vars or methods. I've gone this route as well many times. But I think that it's not accurate to say that there is always a solution like this. And even if you can get it to work, sometimes you end up with such a convoluted solution, and you have to do much more processing work (removing child components that were added, intercepting events dispatched and stopping or redispatching...) which opens the door to more bugs. So obviously it's a double-edged sword to ever copy-paste framework classes. I guess it's just my personal opinion that it can be well worth it. Doug On 2/22/07, EECOLOR [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: you need access to a handful of private variables and functions in the parent class I have extended quite some components aswell.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Creating Thumbnails from large images on the fly. Possible?
I don't think this is possible, you need server side code of some sort to
give you the thumbnail image.
You might be able to initiate the loading of the file and halt it mid-way,
then try to render the partially loaded data as an image, but that's going
to be difficult (especially depending on what image format you're using).
You'd probably have to do the byte to image pixel processing yourself. And
the only thing that might get you if you could figure it out, is you might
be able to load the first X pixels of the image, so maybe you could show the
top-half of each image only, and only have to load half the bytes of each
image.
But if you want to load a smaller file you'll have to send a smaller file
from the server.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Creating Thumbnails from large images on the fly. Possible?
Best way to do it is to have some sort of server process that scales the image and store that scaled version for future requests. I had built a system quite a while ago for doing Image Management and it would scale multiple sizes of each image on upload and then you can download the appropriate size as needed. Much like how flickr works. We built it in java. If you can run java I can try and dig up some of the code.

[flexcoders] Multiple Instances of CF / FDS and messaging broken?
Hi everyone, I've run into a problem which I think has to do with clashing RTMP ports. I'm totally stumped and need urgent assistance! :-S This is the setup: - JRun with two instances: cfusion and cfusion-testing - Both instances contain an instance of FDS - Updated the services-config.xml in both instances of FDS so that the RTMP ports are different - Apache with two virtual hosts: one passing CF requests to cfusion and the other passing CF requests to cfusion-testing - The Flex application has been compiled for both instances using the correct services-config.xml For arguments sake let's call the cfusion instance production and the cfusion-testing instance testing! The Flex application uses both Remote Object calls to ColdFusion using Mike Nimer's work around when using FDS, and it also uses Flex Messaging with CF Event Gateways. The Flex application on the testing website has no problems with Remote Object calls and also the Flex Messaging integration. It's great. However, the Flex application on the production website has problems with the Flex messaging (i.e. no pushes are coming through), but remote object calls are fine. Therefore, along with talking with Mike Nimer for a bit we've come to the conclusion that there must be some problem with the RTMP communication or something. Oh, I've also tested that the amfpolling URLs are all accessible too. Any help would be great!!! Thanks in advance. Cheers Niklas

So, it's convenient to have two types of collections - one for
getting stuff from the web service, the other for putting stuff to
the web service:

public var ErrorMessage:String = ;
public var Items:ArrayCollection;

Re: [flexcoders] falshvars SDK Actionscript 3.0 non-flex app - SOLVED
Yeah, in AS3 your main class should extend Sprite (or a child of Sprite) in
order to (a) get on the DisplayList of the stage and (b) receive
keyboard/mouse focus. You could also inherit from MovieClip (like AS2).
The root is not defined right away because you're checking for it in the
constructor. To be honest, that had confounded me right up until the point
that I read your e-mail. Now I think I understand what's going on (perhaps
an Adobe engineer can confirm or deny):
In the class constructor, root/stage/etc. are not defined because your
object has not yet been added to any DisplayList. This is a side-effect of
the new feature in AS3's display architecture that allows you to have
off-stage DisplayObjects (which is a good thing). If you imagine what the
Flash Player is doing (pseudo-code, I'm sure the player is not using AS3):
var mainInteractiveObject:flash.display.InteractiveObject = new
YourMainClass();
stage.addChild(mainInteractiveObject);
So, you see, when the constructor is called your object is not yet a child
of the stage, thus the class member stage and root are meaningless.
Instead of the timer event, you should add an event listener for the
addedToStage event (Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE). You will then have a valid
stage property set.

[flexcoders] Java to Flex shifting ! Major Hurdles!!! (Shud I say Roadblocks! )
Hi, I am basically a Java guy, recently into Flex. It may be due to the sudden paradigm shift from serial programming ( incl Threads) to Event Based Programming, that I find many features totally new and surprising. I read in a article that Flash/Flex is based on AMPED (Asymmetric-Multi Process Event Driven) Architecture. In this kind of architecture , We have a single thread dispatching the events and the control gets transferred between the Events and the main thread. ( These are my vague conclusions from what I have read and understood, Correct me if I am wrong! ) So if the event dispatched doesn't have a IO/Network operation, the control reaches back to the EventDispatcher only after the eventhandler method is totally complete. But if our eventhandling mechanism has a huge data crunching operation , doesn't that freeze the client? 1. Lets say I have 2 things to be done, Doing a animation and some huge data operation simultaneously! In Java, what we usually do is spawn a new thread for doing the animation (or) doing the data operation! This takes care of the scenario. Now in Flex, We dispatch events, Lets say, OperateDataEvent and AnimateEvent, both of them have some handlers (ODEHandler, AEHandler respectively). Now when we do something like this, dispatchEvent(new OperateDataEvent()) and dispatchEvent(new AnimateEvent()) How does the control flow?? Does this fully complete the DataOperationEvent first and then return to animateEvent ! Since its a single thread model, I guess it should be done so! But then it doesnt sound logical for any matured programming languge to cripple an application from doing another task and make it wait. 2. Second thing is, How does the Timer/setInterval actually function in the Flex architecture, Is it a separate 'thread' ( Oops!this Java hangover is not gonna leave me ! ) Is it advisable to have big operations inside the timerHandler which may result in periodic glitches in the application. 3 Can anyone give a good resource of the AVM structure and design and how it differs from JVM!

[flexcoders] How to add a component in the field with AS3
Hi,
I'm quite new to Flex and I need help with Three things.
I have an file thats sending me an XML based on data i got from the DB,
I have to loop trough the XML and i saw in another thread that we can
do it by using the code:
//the XML
Tipos
Tipo
Situa0/Situa
Imagem Conteudo=''/
QtdComputador: 11/Qtd
/Tipo
Tipo
Situa0/Situa
Imagem Conteudo=''/
QtdMonitor: 9/Qtd
/Tipo
Tipo
Situa0/Situa
Imagem Conteudo=''/
QtdNo break: 3/Qtd
/Tipo
Tipo
Situa0/Situa
Imagem Conteudo=''/
QtdNotebook: 3/Qtd
/Tipo
/Tipos
for each (var s:XML in data.lastResult.Tipos){
//some code here
}
the first problem is that it only loops once even tough there are 3.
the second is that i need to add components(TextArea, Image, Label,
etc.)on a Panel, but i must do it Using AS3 since its going to be
created based on the XML(i searched livedocs AND flex help but didn't
find it).
the third one is the most tricky of the three, I an getting the image
from the DB and its binary i need to send it into flex and use it as a
kind of source to the Image component
PS: its not an URL its the data itself.
i know it can be rather confusing but please answer me even if its to
say its impossible to do this.
Gratefull for your help,

[flexcoders] custom icons to tree nodes
How do I insert my custom icons to the individual tree nodes? I am able to insert it on the root node and on the leaf nodes but not on any of the branch nodes. So the problem scenario here is not replacing all the existing folder icons with my icons, but able to insert different icons at different levels of the tree depending on its type.

RE: [flexcoders] Java to Flex shifting ! Major Hurdles!!! (Shud I say Roadblocks! )
Threading is one of the major missing features in Flex/Flash Player. Basically, the player is multi-threaded and some operations will happen asynchronously but ActionScript code always executes on the same thread. For example, when you make a HTTPService call the network code itself will run on a separate thread, but your call and the event handler for the callback run on the same thread. If you do a lot of processing that takes more than a frame then the frame rate will decrease and perceived performance will suffer. To combat this use the built-in functionality which is multithreaded as much as possible and when appropriate offload processing work to the server. When you have to do heavy processing on the client one solution is to break up the work into separate chunks and then use a frame-based loop to process the chunks until it's done. One problem is it's hard to know how much processing to do in each frame because there's no way to know how much time has already elapsed in the current frame before your code started or how much other work is going to be done before the frame is complete.

[flexcoders] Re: Expand All tree nodes
a couple of points which may help you in your endeavor... yourTree.selectedItem is a reference to data provider element which is currently selected. So, if your tree is backed by an XML data structure, this would point to the XML node which is currently selected with the tree control... yourTree.isItemOpen(item): item here expects to be an element in your tree's data provider yourTree.expandItem(item, true): again, item is an element in your tree's data provider. the second argument is boolean denoting if you want to close or expand the tree branch good luck. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Ramanamurthy Medarametla [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I'm new to flex.

[flexcoders] RemoteObject - request timeout
Does anyone have an example of how to handle a request timeout for a remote data service? I have a RemoteObject in my app and it has a requestTimeout property.

Re: [flexcoders] Negative plane in Column Chart
Thanks guys for your fast replies. I have no that code right now, but the problem was that: I use ColumnSet as the only element in ColumnChart and it has no yField property of course(but there are yFields in ColumnSeries in ColumnSet). I don't understand very much how this component(ColumnChart) works with it's dataProvider, because it doesn't display negative values in that situation (only ColumnSet in the ColumnChart). But when I add another (invisible) ColumnSeries with empty dataProvider in my ColumnChart, it began to display negative values for that ColumnSet. This problem description is rather messy, I am sorry :) Is there are any thoughts about such a behavior? 2007/2/22, Ely Greenfield [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Mikhail.

Re: [flexcoders] custom icons to tree nodes
i did the same thing to discrete file types; so here is my solution;
every files extension is found in the server and embed into the xml result as
the icon field with the matching variable names in the actionScript.
here is the php code :
?php
function findexts ($filename)
{
$filename = strtolower($filename) ;
$exts = split([/\\.], $filename) ;
$n = count($exts)-1;
$exts = $exts[$n];
return $exts;
}
function findIcon($ext){
switch($ext){
case doc: return ico_doc;
case pdf: return ico_pdf;
case ppt: return ico_ppt;
case zip: return ico_zip;
default: return ico_diger;
}
}
//and in the item of the xml , here row2 is the mysql_fetch_array result and
isim is the filename
.icon=\.findIcon(findexts($row2['isim'])).\
?
after you send the xml in the above format; you just need to load images to
variables so ;
in the mx:script tag of the component; i load the icon files to variables:
[Bindable]
[Embed(source=icons/dosyalar/diger.png)]
public var ico_diger:Class;
[Bindable]
[Embed(source=icons/dosyalar/doc.png)]
public var ico_doc:Class;
and so on
then this will work.
if you cannot manage from this info; i can send the php and mxml files directly
to your e-mail adress...
