[flexcoders] customising Adobe AutoComplete component (intercept tab keypress)
Hey all, I am wondering if anyone has had a shot at modding Adobe's AutoComplete component? I changed a few things however there is one more mod I want that I can't figure out. Currently if you type something and press tab, it puts the current selected item into the input field. I would prefer that the typed text remains the same (the same functionality as when the escape key is pressed). However, I can't seem to catch the tab keypress and override the functionality. Is flex working against me? Help anyone? Thanks, Adam
Re: [flexcoders] How to align chart items in two charts?
Wow. Its amazing how simple the solution is. Thanks, Ely. 2007/3/2, Ely Greenfield [EMAIL PROTECTED]: by default charts compute their gutterLeft and gutterRight dynamically, but if you need to get two charts to align, you can set them to explicit values. You lose a little bit of flexibility in axis/label layout...it will fit the axes to the space available rather than choosing the best space available for the labels, but if you choose appropriate values it should work fine.

Hello, Flexcoders. I have two charts one below another. They are quite similar and use the same horizontal axeses. But the problem is that I can't get the correct chart view. The problem is that they have different positions of start and end points on the canvas. How to align those vertical axes vertically? I've attached two small pictures to show you what I mean. Saying another words, I need to align the chart points vertically, as axes. Thanks. -- A vivid and creative mind characterizes you. -- A vivid and creative mind characterizes you.
[flexcoders] 3gp sound video inside FLEX ?
Hi list, is there a simple way to view 3gp sound and video with FLEX ? As a workaround I use embed object inside IFrame, I switch back to the HTML world, to rely on the QuickTime plug-in ;-) Everything works well with Firefox, but I have trouble on Safari. When playing sound or video, QuickTime plug-in does not redisplay correctly, only progress controls appears with sound, and for video the progress controls disapears. How can I force FLEX, to be aware of the redisplay of the plug-in ? Any suggestion, or other simpler solution are wellcome, Thanks in adavance, Stephane
[flexcoders] Determining the idle state of a flex application
Does anyone have any suggestions for monitoring idleness of a Flex application? The way my app works, pretty much any request to the server will renew a cookie for another 30 minutes.. so I could just have flex make a generic request every 10 minutes or so to avoid idling out, but I don't want to do that. What I'd like to do is perform that request - say every 5 minutes - if there has been any kind of activity in the flex app.. keyboard or mouse activity.. that way the server session stays active, and then if the user has been idle for more than 20 minutes (no keyboard or mouse activity) to actually blank the flex app window and pop up a login window, forcing the user to reauthenticate. I'm just not entirely sure of the best way to go about this. Rick -- I'm not certified, but I have been told that I'm certifiable... Visit http://www.opensourcecf.com today!
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Populate ComboBox from database - NOT using Flex Data Services
First you need to change your mx:RemoteObject to
mx:RemoteObject id=jobSvc destination=ColdFusion source=path.to.cfc
showBusyCursor=true
mx:method name=GetJob result=getJobResult(event)/
/mx:RemoteObject
Then add a result handler:
private function getJobResult(event:Object):void
{
jobNameCB.dataProvider = event.result as ArrayCollection;
}

[flexcoders] Can I use Flash Library items in Flex, if so, how?
I'm trying to load a flash 9 SWF into Flex with some luck. I can
get it in there with SWFLoader but now how can I use something from
the Flash Library
or can I?
I get this error when I run the code below ReferenceError: Error
#1065: Variable Radar is not defined. But when I Dismiss All
then click the button in the app it will move the radar movieClip
that sits on the Flash Stage. I'm confused as to what this error is.
For the library item - If it was being done in Flash, I'd use
attachMovie () like:
var cPoint:MovieClip = circle.attachMovie(pointer, 'point' +
counter, 0 + counter, {_x:centerX + x, _y:centerY + y, date:cDate});
which would place the item on the stage as many times as I need it
depending on the number of nodes from my XML. Is there a way to do
this in Flex using my loaded SWF?

[flexcoders] FileReference.upload, URLVariables,uploadDataFieldName not working as expected.
I know I'm probably just doing something wrong - I'm a Noob w/ flex. I'm using FileReference.upload to upload a file to a server and it's uploading the file OK, but some of the 'options' are not working for me. For example I'm trying to use the uploadDataFieldName parameter to change the fieldname that is being uploaded. (I know I can just change it on the server, and I probably will, but it just bugs me) from the docs: public function upload(request:URLRequest, uploadDataFieldName:String = Filedata, testUpload:Boolean = false):void so the second parameter should be used to change that name. The other problem is probably bigger for me, I am trying to send some other values along with the post. I set up my URLVariables and assign values in there and set request.data = variables, just like is shown in the docs, but these don't come through. Here is a section of the code (along with a few things I'm doing to convince myself that I didn't have a cached swf or something): var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(); var uploadname:String = new String(); request.url = UPLOAD_URL; var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(); variables.description = Hello from flash; request.data = variables; request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST import mx.controls.Alert; uploadname = attached_file Alert.show(uploadname); fr.upload(request,uploadname); and here is my post data: --5a2537304aa5 Content-Disposition: form-data; name=Filename testfile.txt --5a2537304aa5 Content-Disposition: form-data; name=Filedata; filename=testfile.txt Content-Type: application/octet-stream *** begin file *** This is my file *** end file *** --5a2537304aa5 Content-Disposition: form-data; name=Upload Submit Query --5a2537304aa5-- I haven't got the slightest idea where the 'Upload' is coming from fr is the FileReference and most of the rest of the code is straight out of an example from Programming in ActionScript 3.0 that I found somewhere.

[flexcoders] Issues with Flex Ant Tasks
All, Relative newbie here and very much enjoying my immersion into Flex. I'm trying to put together an Ant script to do my builds/deployments and am running into a couple of issues.. documentation is lean, so I'm hoping someone has run into these before. Of importance: the app is using FDS using several mx:RemoteObjects. We're using Cairngorm so we have a Services.xml file and have our remote delegates defined in remoting-config.xml. I've got my tasks compiling and outputting correctly, but the following two things keep happening: 1) When accessing the generated HTML page, I immediately get a runtime error saying that the app could not establish a connection to my remote delegate. In code, I first get the Service from cairngorm: utilDelegate = ServiceLocator.getInstance().getService(UtilDelegate) as RemoteObject; then attempt a call to a method of this utilDelegate. The code always faults, and Weblogic never twitches. This error is alerted: The error is like this: [RPC Fault faultString=[MessagingError message=Unknown destination 'utilDelegate'.] faultCode=InvokeFailed faultDetail=Couldn't establish a connection to 'utilDelegate'] Can't seem to find the remoting-config.xml file. I've added a services=/PATH/flex-config.xml to the mxmlc task.. seems to do something with it because if I enter an invalid path I get an error. 2) The SWF size is always being defaulted to 400x400. I think I've figured out how to set it to a different static size, but how can I force it to generate at 100%x100% like Flex Builder does? Whenever I try to enter a percentage I get a compiler error. Hope someone can help with this, I'm throwing darts right now. Thanks! Dave

[flexcoders] AMFPHP pass objects???
I am trying to pass an object type from Flex (Cairngorm) to PHP5
through AMFPHP 1.9 and I can't seem to get it to work. It seems that
PHP only recognizes the object as an array and ignores any private
variables in the object. Can anyone think of a reason that this
would be happening?
At it's simplest, I tried this just to try to get the object to be
recognized:
FLEX:
var tempVO:Object = new Object;
tempVO.name = 'kevin';
tempVO.pass = '123';
var call : Object = service.login( tempVO );
PHP:
public function login( $UserVO )
{
$this-Debug-write_log(passed from flex:\n\n.print_r($UserVO,
true));
return $UserVO;
}
LOG:
passed from flex:
Array
(
[name] = kevin
[pass] = 123

[Style(name=fastforwardDownIcon, type=Class, inherit=yes)]
/**
* Default controller fastforward button disabled skin
*/
[Style(name=fastforwardDisabledIcon, type=Class,
inherit=yes)]
for each button i declare each skin :(
so my css style would look something like this
.myVideoControlBar
{
fastforwardSelectedDisabledIcon:
Embed(source=../../assets/barbuttons.swf, symbol=fastforward);
fastforwardSelectedDownIcon: Embed(source=../../assets/barbuttons.swf,
symbol=fastforward);
fastforwardSelectedOverIcon: Embed(source=../../assets/barbuttons.swf,
symbol=fastforwardOver);
}
and then i have to write the code to set this and flag the changes in
styleChanged, invalidate displaylist and write default style values for each
in the classConstruct function.
this looks clumsy and requires a lot of code, time, difficult testing and
high maintenance :(
i could ofcourse do this
mx:Button id=fastforwardButton
styleName=forwardButton
buttonDown=fastforward()
autoRepeat=true/
but now i am tying the user of this component into a naming convention in
their stylesheet. also undesireble.
my ideal would be doing this:
declaring a style i want to use for the button in my style sheet
.fastforwardStyle
{
fillColors: #E7E7E7, #EFEFEF, #EFEFEF, #E7E7E7;
cornerRadius: 0;
disabledIcon: Embed(source=../../assets/barbuttons.swf,
symbol=fastforward);
downIcon: Embed(source=../../assets/barbuttons.swf,
symbol=fastforward);
overIcon: Embed(source=../../assets/barbuttons.swf,
symbol=fastforwardOver);
selectedDisabledIcon: Embed(source=../../assets/barbuttons.swf,
symbol=fastforward);
selectedDownIcon: Embed(source=../../assets/barbuttons.swf,
symbol=fastforward);
selectedOverIcon: Embed(source=../../assets/barbuttons.swf,
symbol=fastforwardOver);
selectedUpIcon: Embed(source=../../assets/barbuttons.swf,
symbol=fastforward);
upIcon: Embed(source=../../assets/barbuttons.swf,
symbol=fastforward);
}
then in my videocontrol bar
/**
* Default controller fastforward button skin
* @copy Button#Styles
*/
[Style(name=fastforwardButtonStyle, type=String,
inherit=yes)]
mx:Button id=fastforwardButton
buttonDown=fastforward()
autoRepeat=true/
//
and in the video control bar style
.myVideoControlBar
{
fastforward-button-style:fastforwardStyle;
}
and finally assinging the style in my component i would just do this
fastforwardButton.styleName = fastforwardStyle;
this obviously does not work, hence me posting here.
has anyone got any suggestions how i can do this with the least amount of
code?
thanks

[flexcoders] Re: Determining the idle state of a flex application
Hi Rick, Maybe i'm wrong but i'd probably use a Timer to handle this time of behavior. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Rick Root [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone have any suggestions for monitoring idleness of a Flex application? The way my app works, pretty much any request to the server will renew a cookie for another 30 minutes.. so I could just have flex make a generic request every 10 minutes or so to avoid idling out, but I don't want to do that. What I'd like to do is perform that request - say every 5 minutes - if there has been any kind of activity in the flex app.. keyboard or mouse activity.. that way the server session stays active, and then if the user has been idle for more than 20 minutes (no keyboard or mouse activity) to actually blank the flex app window and pop up a login window, forcing the user to reauthenticate.

RE: [flexcoders] problem in calling a webservice GBLNewsService.getNewsDetail
Declare your web service in an mxml webservice tag and add getNewsDetail as an mx:operation child node to the webservice tag. Then give your webservice tag a name myService or whatever. When you want to call the method, you do myService.getNewsDetail(). Of course the call will only work if you specified a valid wsdl, and that wsdl contains the getNewsDetail method defined in it.

[flexcoders] Drag Drop Compiler Bug/Problem
I have a very (very) simple demo program that is listed below. I was
having trouble dropping a tilelist item onto a canvas. I was able to
get the drop to work only if I set the toolTip of the canvas. This
seems very odd, like the canvas was not initialized yet. The drag
operation starts OK enough but I get the cannot drop marker when I try
to drop on the canvas, UNLESS I set the tooltip to something. Any ideas?

[flexcoders] [OT] swf 9 specification
Hello all, sorry for the slightly off topic post. Has Adobe made any Announcements yet when to expect an updated swf file format specifaction for flash 9? http://www.adobe.com/licensing/developer/fileformat/faq/ just says The most recent version of the specification covers version 8 of the Flash file format (SWF), though the specification does cover previous versions where supported. Adobe updates the Specification as soon as possible after each release. and has been saying so for a while... How long after the release of Flash 8 did Adobe release the specs for Version 8? Thanks Ben

Skip using the actual dialog, really... I've not dug in far enough to find out exactly what it is that's different, but I know how to do it by editing the project settings files directly. Just copy what's already done for the playerglobal.swc, etc., they basically point to the swc then have an extra attribute describing where the source is located. I find editing the XML directly to be quicker and more dependable. Troy. On 3/2/07, Guillermo Villasana [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I added it in the the Library path tab.

[flexcoders] remove image from cache
I have an upload image process that allows users to change their photo for their record - I want to replace the image on screen as soon as the new photo is uploaded. The photo name is constant so the new image does not refresh. Flex does not recognized it as a new image source since the URL is the same. I clear the image using image.source = '' while the new photo is uploaded then once the upload is complete I re-call image.source=http://mydomain.com/myimage.jpg; with no luck. Is there a simple solution to clear this image from memory ?
[flexcoders] Re: remove image from cache
Dang - the solution was so simple - I just added ? to the end of the URL and that forces the image to refresh ! Brilliant !

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Announcing FlexLib - open source flex component library
Hey, sorry we haven't replied about you trying to use the SWC. I'm working on getting a new zip file uploaded to the project page that has the SWC and a sample app to show how to use the components. We're having some issues with Google Code, but Ihopefully we'll get something up in the next few days. You actually shouldn't use the SWC that's available right now, I set it to deprecated in Google Code (they don't let you delete files once thy're uploaded). It's an old version and I'm not sure what the namespace setup was. So if you want to use the components now you should follow the instructions on how to check out the project from the SVN repository. And check back in a few days and there should be a convenient zip file for distribution.

I new a sprite and addeventlistener which listens roll_over and
roll_out event. But after a circle is drawn with beginfill and
endfill, each time I roll inside the circle, both events get
invoked.
I don't know why? :(
Thanks in advance!

[flexcoders] Datagrid Filtering Help!
I have an issue with live filtering with a datagrid. I'm able to filter on
columns thats has EVERY SINGLE ROW filled in. However, on the columns that
have multiple empty rows, the filtering function doesn't want to trigger?
When I do and Alert.show() it shows up the items. ODD Anyways, here is
my snippet..
private function filterEvent(): void
{
cPlayList.source.filterFunction =
filterPlayList;
cPlayList.source.refresh();
}
private function filterPlayList(oItem:Object): Boolean
{
var bMatch:Boolean = false;
switch (filterComboBox.selectedItem.toString())
{
case Title:
bMatch =
(oItem.name.toLowerCase().search(filterSearchInput.text.toLowerCase()) !=
-1);
break;
case Artist:
bMatch =
(oItem.artist.toLowerCase().search(filterSearchInput.text.toLowerCase()) !=
-1);
break;
case Album:
bMatch =
(oItem.album.toLowerCase().search(filterSearchInput.text.toLowerCase()) !=
-1);
break;
case Genre:
bMatch =
(oItem.genre.toLowerCase().search(filterSearchInput.text.toLowerCase()) !=
-1);
break;
}
return bMatch;
