Yes... you set the projects main source folder to src. I highly
recommend it.

[flexcoders] Compile on server vs in FlexBuilder and DistortionEffects

2007-03-21 Thread smlvz

I was trying to setup a project to test using DistortionEffects (
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/auhlmann/archives/DistortionEffects_Flex_2_0_1.zip)


I was only able to get this to work using the option to compile on the
server rather than within FlexBuilder. Has anyone else tried this same
sample, and run into the same thing? Also, if it compiles on the
server is that only the first time when the project is deployed?

thanks,

Fwd: [flexcoders] Help: test EventDispatcher speed please

2007-03-21 Thread Francis Bourre


You sound a bit sarcastic here ;)
Be welcome anyway !

So lemme explain further:
that's not a problem of speed here, that's a problem with mac player.

On mac EventDispatcher.dispatchEvent is 4x slower than my custom  
EventDispatcher.
On Pc EventDispatcher.dispatchEvent is faster than my custom  
EventDispatcher.
It's a bit embarrasing coz I thought EventDispatcher was a native  
class, so how it could execute events dispatch 4x slower than my  
custom class (with statements inside the dispatch process) on mac?
And last but not least, EventDispatcher is the top of the  
graphical hierarchy, so if it runs like 4 or 5X slower on mac, it  
sounds really annoying.


Hope It sounds more clear now.

Hi,

I'm looking for a Flex guru who could help us build an interactive charting
application.  To give you a sense of the type of functionality we are
looking to build, Google Finance charts are a pretty good rough proxy:
http://finance.google.com/finance?q=goog

We have room on our team for someone full-time if there's a good match, and
would also be open to working together on a project basis if you prefer the
freelance route.

[flexcoders] Coercion failed ArrayCollection with Objects inside Object AMFPHP 1.9

2007-03-21 Thread Thomas Huijzer

Hi All,

With AMFPHP 1.9 I am trying to return an Object containing some vars and an 
ArrayCollection. Inside this ArrayCollection there are other Objects. But I 
can't get this to work in Flex.
For example:

Flex class

package com.app.classes
{
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;

[RemoteClass (alias=com.app.classes.RemoteClass)]
public class MyClass
{
public var id: Number;
public var list: ArrayCollection;
}
}

package com.app.classes
 {
[RemoteClass (alias=com.app.classes.RemoteClassObj)]
 public class MyClassObj
 {
 public var id: Number;
 public var name: String;
 }
 }

 PHP class
 
class MyClass
{
var $id;
var $list;
}
class MyClassObj
{
var $id;
var $name;
}
function getData()
{
$data = new MyClass;
$data-id = 1;
$data-list = array();
$data-list[0] = new MyClassObj;
$data-list[0]-id = 2;
$data-list[0]-name = myName;
return $data;
}

When I return this to Flex, the MyClass is filled ok. By the list coercion 
fails.
Any idea to solve this problem?
Thank you.

[flexcoders] Nesting Complex Remote Objects

2007-03-21 Thread aicfan4

I have two Value Objects: a simple VO and a VO that contains the first
VO in it.  For example:

--- SimpleVO ---

...
[RemoteClass(alias=test.SimpleVO)]
public class SimpleVO {

  public var id:int;

  public var data:String;

}

=== SimpleVO ===

--- ComplexVO ---

...
[RemoteClass(alias=test.ComplexVO)]
public class ComplexVO {

  public var id:int;

  public var simple:SimpleVO;

  public var otherdata:String;

  ...

}

=== ComplexVO ===

I'm successfully using a RemoteObject to retrieve the ComplexVO from
my server and I can read the id and otherdata, etc. properties of the
ComplexVO, but I'm getting empty data when trying to read the
properties of the SimpleVO inside of the ComplexVO.

My DAO class isn't doing anything tricky.

Is there something else I need to be doing in order for the
serialization back to my ActionScript classes to work properly?

Secondly, I am not a Mac user so all I can do is show you code on how to use
Flex  Cf together. I will write a tutorial and send it to you later today.

hope then when I get it tomorrow this becomes true.I use the Mac,and I
have tried in the past with help from this list to get ColdFusion  Flex to

that it is now.

I have a relaxed school schedule this term, and I thought that I would try
again.

I was wondering if you could offer a flex newbie some thought on this.

[flexcoders] Re: WebService Fault Handling - Flash Player 9 Update

How are sockets implemented then?  Also I have never seen the Flash
Player include the browsers cookies in requests.  This has been a big
complaint of mine for a very long time.  They only way I could get a
session shared with the browser was to pass in the session id using
External Interfaces.

And why can't you give us a workaround? Like a stack we can include in
our projects that isn't part of the player.  This issue almost made
Flex/Flash irrelevant to my current project.  I had to fight for weeks
to be able to use it.  In the end I made some false promises that I
had hoped adobe would get it fixed soon.

If I had the time and resources I'd fix it myself.

--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Matt Chotin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Well, the Player uses the browser's network stack so that it can be in
 sync with what the browser is doing (cookies) as well as reduce the
 amount of code we have to include in the runtime (size is critical as
 you know).  In Apollo we need to use the system network layer so we
 actually hope to have more access to the information you're looking for,
 but for the plugins we rely on the browser.  Were we to write our own
 network layer in AS we would lose the browser integration that is often
 important.

Flash Remoting?  I have not played with that in CF, but i will read

I will convert my below test into a Flash Remoting service instead of 
a web service.

Will i need to start a new project in Eclipse and select the flash 
remoting option?  Or can i take my current project and just change 
the way i connect to the service?

Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Nesting Complex Remote Objects

in AMFPHP 1.9 you need to include the $_explicitType variable with  
every VO object you send from the server.  Not sure how this works in  
other languages, but you may want to look into it.

[flexcoders] Eclipse internal web browser and FB

2007-03-21 Thread Douglas Knudsen


How to get FB debug to launch in the internal web browser in Eclipse and not
FF/IE?  Possible?

Why would I want this?  We are having issues with the debugger on IE.  Issue
is we have a CF based login and the Debug launches a new IE session each
time its used, not reusing a current IE window, thereby breaking the debug
session.  Oh, and IE is the standard in my company :(

[flexcoders] SWF using HTTPS to an SSL Translator Proxy to communicate to FDS via HTTP

2007-03-21 Thread brian_m_riley

We have a client that translates all incoming HTTPS requests to HTTP
for internal services to get a performance boost. 

How can we have a secure SWF communicating over HTTPS that needs to
leverage it's FDS counterpart that's accessed by HTTP (through the SSL
translator) if the SWF is compiled on the server with FDS and thinks
it's endpoints and channels need to be secure?

Has anyone extended the AMFEndpoints / Channel FDS Java classes to
allow a secure SWF to communicate to an unsecure FDS app?

Thanks,

Re: [flexcoders] FDS 2 becomes LDS 2.5 | See labs.adobe.com

Does LCDS and the FlexBuilder update allow for more indirect  
configuration of things like the web-app config location, or the  
channel locations?  We've had a really hard time configuring things  
so we can build a single binary on our build server, and test that  
same binary in our dev, QA, staging and production environments.   
Without the ability to certify a build through staged environments,  
Flex will have a difficult time rolling out in large organizations  
with serious software development processes in place.

i'm facing a real funny problem with modules and moduleLoader, i hope
it's not my fault anyway...
If i create a normal flex project with fBuilder, i'm able to use
modules in a lot of different ways (as mxml, as as in a function etc..)...
but if i try to use them in my fds application (created with fds
eclipse plugin) i can't use modules. The compile-time error message is

I tried a lot of solutions, paying attention to import all the classes
etc...but nothing change.

I will appreciate everykind of help.

Re: [flexcoders] Working with ads (DART) in flex ? How can you possibly do that ?

2007-03-21 Thread Troy Gilbert

The ad networks are going to need to provide a native Flash solution sooner
rather than later, particularly with the growing number of Flash RIAs (in
particular games). Mochi Ads provides one solution for games, but its
nothing compared to a TextLinks, DoubleClick or GoogleAds.

In other words, there is no solution beyond what you mentioned. The ad
networks simply depend on functionality that isn't present inside of Flash.

so on.
So is there a way flex can deal with this ?

I think this is gonna become a very big problem if we cannot deal with
ads in flex apps...

Using an iFrame to display ads doesn't work as some ads may have to
expand over the app on rollover.
Working with divs won't work as there is no way of knowing the size of
the ad returned by DART, and thus no way of allowing the corresponding
space in our flex app...

I'm stuck !!

It's not a bug, it's a feature. A security feature. When in full-screen,

   No, validation is not blocking.  It is just that the itemEditor is
going away.  What most folks do is check validation on ITEM_EDIT_END
and prevent the change to the dataprovider by calling
preventDefault().  You can also catch ITEM_EDIT_BEGINNING and return
the editor to the bad cell if the user is tabbing or clicking another
cell, but if the user clicks outside you can't really restore focus to
the cell.
 
 
 
   If you want to get really fancy then your itemRenderers will color
differently if they are invalid.

[flexcoders] Re: LiveCycle Data Services 2.5 - Using dynamically referenced queue destination

2007-03-21 Thread meteatamel

Hi Brian,

BootstrapServices in LCDS 2.5 are special services used to create
Services, Destinations, and Adapters without needing any configuration
files. This is what you need to do:

1- Create a class that extends AbstractBootstrapService.

2- In that class, implement initialize() method. In this method,
you'll create your destinations using the LCDS Server APIs. 

3- Register your class with LCDS by referencing it in the services
section of services-config.xml:

service class=my.company.MyBootstrapService1 id=bootstrap1/

Next time, LCDS starts up, it'll call the initialize method of
MyBootstrapService1 where you create your destinations and these
destinations will be available to your app.

There will be BootstrapService examples in
resources/config/bootstrapservices once LCDS is final.

[flexcoders] copying bitmap data

2007-03-21 Thread tosadavemgr

I have a canvas in my layout and the application allows dragging and
dropping items into the canvas. I need to be able to grab a bitmap of
the canvas when the user is finished, so I can display the drawing on
another panel, and in the FlexPrintJob function.

I've tried using this code, initiated from a button:

private function myDrawing():void{
var myBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(530, 445);
myBitmapData.draw(myWorkspace1);
var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapData);
showDrawing.addChild(bmp); //this isn't working

}

myWorkspace1 is the ID of the canvas where everything is dropped.
I have a canvas with the ID=showDrawing that I'd like the bitmap to
appear in. 
Anyone know what I need to add to the above function to get that done?

[flexcoders] flash remoting

2007-03-21 Thread rchadgray

I am reading up on doing flash remoting in CF.

I have CF 7.0.2 installed on a windows machine running through IIS.  
In the CF administrator Flex and Flash remoting is turned on.

When you make a new project in eclipse the default for Root Url 
contains a port 8500 if i remember right.  Does Flash remoting run 
over a special port or is it just 80?  I could not find anything in 
the CF Admin to set the port so i am guessing that it just uses 80.

I cant find any flex code examples of connecting to flash remoting.  
Can someone post something or point me in a direction?

When creating a new project in eclipse that uses flash remoting it 
asks for a root folder to your CF server.  Our development CF server 
is on another box on the network (and i really dont want to install 
CF on my computer).  Do i need to make a share on the development 
server so i can enter \\BENDER\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\ into the field?

Any help is appreciated, and if i over looked this information/code 
examples in the help files let me know and i will read them.

thanks in advance!

Re: [flexcoders] flash remoting


the share should work.

Remoting works on the same port as the cf server is on. So if CF is tied to
IIS and IIS is running on port 80, then so is CF, so is Remoting.

You can change the URL to point to your dev server. I run CF locally then
move my files to a server when its ready to test.

I will give you some sample code here in a min.

[flexcoders] Key Events not raised from Modules

2007-03-21 Thread Shaun

I have an app that contains modules in a viewstack.  The containing 
application defines a keyboard event listener that detects certain 
keystrokes.  

When an object that is in the main application has the focus, the 
listener triggers as expected.  However, when a module has focus, the 
listener is not triggered, indicating that the module is not raising 
the event to the parent application.

Is this just the way it is, or am I missing something?

Thanks,
shaun

[flexcoders] Re: LiveCycle Data Services 2.5 - Using dynamically referenced queue destination

2007-03-21 Thread klumikaze

Mete, 

Thanks for your help!

Just looking through your reply and the documentation and wanted to clarify 
what I am 
trying to do:

The Java backend currently creates a queue dynamically upon request (in this 
case, when I 
a launch a certain component in the frontend), and returns the queue name back 
to the 
Flex frontend (i.e. as a String of 'q001') after messages have been placed in 
it. 

Is the process you describe intended to allow the Flex frontend to see/use that 
queue that 
was created without messaging-config.xml? Do I need to call the initialize() 
method of that 
custom class to setup the new queue destination on FDS?

Any chance you have an early sample Java class that we could see?

Thanks again,

Brian

 Hi Brian,
 
 BootstrapServices in LCDS 2.5 are special services used to create
 Services, Destinations, and Adapters without needing any configuration
 files. This is what you need to do:
 
 1- Create a class that extends AbstractBootstrapService.
 
 2- In that class, implement initialize() method. In this method,
 you'll create your destinations using the LCDS Server APIs. 
 
 3- Register your class with LCDS by referencing it in the services
 section of services-config.xml:
 
 service class=my.company.MyBootstrapService1 id=bootstrap1/
 
 Next time, LCDS starts up, it'll call the initialize method of
 MyBootstrapService1 where you create your destinations and these
 destinations will be available to your app.
 
 There will be BootstrapService examples in
 resources/config/bootstrapservices once LCDS is final.

Maybe you can email Steve or Alistar directly and ask them.  I've

Also, their previous book Reality J2EE is fantastic as well.  It is a
little bit older and focuses on build Flash (prior to Flex) UIs with

2007-03-21 Thread Christian Gruber

Several things, including ports, server names.  Not often context  
roots, but certainly debugging levels.


The way we worked around it was to declare end-points in our mxml  
which over-rode the channels' end-points.  This is ok, but it is a  
bit of a config hack, since we couldn't configure from flexvars or  
server-supplied configuration properties or anything.


But regardless, we're still in the position where if we have a  
developer on one computer create a project, that project has to have  
knowledge of a web-app project.  It can't resolve the target flex- 
config or messaging stuff relatively, or from an eclipse variable.   
So either all developers have to have an identical setup (not  
possible in our environment) or we have to have developers constantly  
accidentally checking-in FB project settings and overwriting them as  
they point the FB to their local webapp location.


I'm not entirely clear on why an FB project even needs this.  The  
config files should be supplied, of course, but Flex Builder is being  
needlessly picky about the structure of things.  Since the command- 
line app can hit against an arbitrary flex-config.xml, why shouldn't  
the FB?

christian.

Re: [flexcoders] copying bitmap data

Yeah, the problem is that the Canvas container only allows children that
implement IUIComponent. It would have been real nice if Adobe had provided a
raw container that did no layout of its children (but implemented
IUIComponent itself), but they didn't.

Fortunately, Grant Skinner has provided just such a container...
DisplayObjectWrapper. Check out his blog or Google for it.

If you wrap your Bitmap with the DisplayObjectWrapper first you'll then be
able to add it (or rather, the DisplayObjectWrapper) to the canvas.

Not sure if it helps you Christian, but seems to be working for us.  We have
the endpoint as a variable in the model and when the application starts up
it just assigns the endpoint based on the current url of the swf

var url:String=mx.core.Application.application.url;
if (url.indexOf(someDevSite.com:8080/myApp)
else if (url.indexOf(http://localhost or file:// or whatever))
etc etc..

mx:RemoteObject endpoint={model.endpoint}/

This as include allows us to compile once and work from local testing, dev
server, staging server, and production without having to recompile or check
for configs in FlexBuilder.

If theres an easier way or something cleaner, I'd be interested to hear

[flexcoders] Re: silly question about using src folder

Another minor benefit is that the project is better organized.  Your
destination folder then does not reside in the source folder.  Project
settings are not in the source folder. And you can setup locales easier.

I also do this because this is what I'm used to.  For example when you
create a Java project in Eclipse or Netbeans or WSAD or whatever, the
project creates src folders for all the source.  Many IDE's now add
more abstraction by putting java sources into a src/java folder.  As
well as creating src/conf or src/config folders and in some cases
src/resources.  I have for some projects created the src/flex folder
for flex projects, but thinking about that now I'm thinking src/as
might be a better location.

Anyway I'm rambeling and repeating myself.

I got around this by having an image that loads an embedded gif (just a grey

yes?)

but try changing your line:
var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapData);
to:
var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapData.clone());

Thats the only thing that looks different from my code

If you wrap your Bitmap with the DisplayObjectWrapper first you'll then be

Hi;

The discussion about the security access on a web service contains a
lot of responses and solutions.

But I don't find any explanations about the question number 1: why we
have no access problem when we test our application in the Flex
Builder environment, and then we receive a lot of security access
problem when the application run on clients ?

So, what is the difference between the Flash application running in
Flex Builder and this Flash running out of this environment ?

Is that means that in Flex Builder the Flash application doesn't
access the famous crossdomain.xml ?!

I think that this diffrence between the development and the client
environment is a great problem for Flex devloppers ! It means that if
our application runs on our computer, we have no garanty that it's ok
for clients !

Hi guys,

Let's say I have a columnChart with two columns. One with value 700 and 
one with value 800. Now, the x-axis is value 0 (projected on y-axis), 
and the columns are 700 and 800 high. Now I would like to have the x-
axis represent 600 (projected on y-axis), so it would seem you have one 
column of 200 and one of 100. The labels on the y-axis need to start at 
600 (where it used to be 0).

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Coercion failed ArrayCollection with Objects inside Object AMFPHP 1.9

I am guessing it must be something basic we are overlooking. I have  
numerous nested VOs and ArrayCollection's of VO's that get returned  
from PHP with no problem.  As long as both the RemoteClass tag AND  
the $_explicitType variable are exactly the same and both point to  
the server location where the VO lives, then everything seems to map  
correctly.  Here are the things I would check:


1) your remote class  explicit type tags.
2) are you casting the return from php correctly in Flex  (ie  var  
myAC:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(data.result as Array) )
3) Are your class properties named exactly the same (although this  
seems to not throw and error even when they aren't exact???)


Check those and see if any of them solve your problem.  otherwise  
post your handler code so that we can see how you are handling the  
results.

I know nothing about DART at the moment, so if this doesnt help 
please excuse my ignorance.

I checked the crossdomain for the url you sent, it looks like its 
wide open. see: http://ad.fr.doubleclick.net/crossdomain.xml

There shouldnt be any security restrictions with regard to loading 
content from this domain.

Given that, if this integration fails with flex I know you can write 
something in flash that does what you want and then import that to 
your application.

Is there something special about the DART SDK? (e.g. It's JavaScript)

 No, validation is not blocking. It is just that the itemEditor is
going away. What most folks do is check validation on ITEM_EDIT_END
and prevent the change to the dataprovider by calling
preventDefault(). You can also catch ITEM_EDIT_BEGINNING and return
the editor to the bad cell if the user is tabbing or clicking another
cell, but if the user clicks outside you can't really restore focus to
the cell.
 
 
 
 If you want to get really fancy then your itemRenderers will color
differently if they are invalid.

Subject: [flexcoders] PopUp Returning NULL



I am having some trouble with a popup window.  Here is the popup code:



private function changePassword() : void

{

 var pwWindow:IFlexDisplayObject = PopUpManager.createPopUp 
(this, WinChangePassword, true);


}



if I call it from a Link Button I get a Can't Access Property of  
Null Object...  error.




mx:LinkButton id=chpw label=change pw click=changePassword();/



However, when I call it from the ObserveValue Component I am using,  
it works fine.




ac:ObserveValue id=pwchange source={model.changePw}  
value={1} handler={changePassword} /




Also, when i check the debugger in both cases it shows pwWindow =  
null. (I am not sure what it is supposed to be.)




Thanks for the suggestions.

Re: [flexcoders] flash remoting


Ok, I did a blog on this. The example is very simple.

http://grumpee.instantspot.com/blog/

I also have a zip file I can email of the code. I couldn't attach it to my
blog.

Remoting works on the same port as the cf server is on. So if CF is tied
to IIS and IIS is running on port 80, then so is CF, so is Remoting.

You can change the URL to point to your dev server. I run CF locally then
move my files to a server when its ready to test.

I will give you some sample code here in a min.

 I have CF 7.0.2 installed on a windows machine running through IIS.
 In the CF administrator Flex and Flash remoting is turned on.

 When you make a new project in eclipse the default for Root Url
 contains a port 8500 if i remember right. Does Flash remoting run
 over a special port or is it just 80? I could not find anything in
 the CF Admin to set the port so i am guessing that it just uses 80.

 I cant find any flex code examples of connecting to flash remoting.
 Can someone post something or point me in a direction?

 When creating a new project in eclipse that uses flash remoting it
 asks for a root folder to your CF server. Our development CF server
 is on another box on the network (and i really dont want to install
 CF on my computer). Do i need to make a share on the development
 server so i can enter \\BENDER\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\ into the field?

 Any help is appreciated, and if i over looked this information/code
 examples in the help files let me know and i will read them.

 thanks in advance!

[flexcoders] barset with type=100% tooltip issue

2007-03-21 Thread suri_boston

Hi Ely,
i created a bar chart with barset type to 100% and the tooltip 
doesn't display the right values. it is displaying the percentage 
value as the bar value instead of showing the actual bar value..
for the below example:
tooltip for USA is like,
USA
57.3529411 (57.4%)
total: 68

where i am expectign
USA
39 (57.4%)
total: 68

when i use type=stacked, it displays the right value of the bar 
tooltip.

Is it a bug in flex? any workaround for this??
thanks

[flexcoders] Re: Security error accessing url

2007-03-21 Thread Shannon

The problem with forcing this security in the IDE is that I want to 
debug my application without uploading my application to the secure 
production environment.

Maybe I am a third party company creating a widget for a company with 
some web services. I want to be able to build the application 
without any security restrictions and then give it to my client to 
install on their servers later.

What you can do:
If you want to check for these kinds of restrictions and develop this 
way, you can install a web server*** and publish to your tomcat 
directory.

1. Install and run tomcat***
2. Setup your Flex Build Path:
Right click your project, from the menu select Properties then 
choose Flex Build Path
  A. Set Output folder to c:\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\yourapp
  B. Set Output folder URL to http://localhost/yourapp/

If these restrictions were in place then most developers would have 
to go through those steps PLUS the following to get around the issue:

1. add a fake domain to the crossdomain of the server (which may be 
inaccessible.
2. add the fakedomain to your host file and point it to your 
application 127.0.0.1 fakedomain.com

So if your question is why does this work this way? I think the 
answer is pretty straight forward, it would take a great deal of 
effort to develop anything using the Flex/Flash IDE.

I hope this is helpful(?)

***(There are a plethora of quick drag and drop installations that 
include Tomcat two off the top of my head are EasyPHP (google 
easyphp) and also 30 minute Flex Test Drive for JavaDevelopers 
(Conreats.org) You basically install these or unzip them to c:\tomcat 
and they pretty much install themselves.)

 Hi;
 
 The discussion about the security access on a web service contains a
 lot of responses and solutions.
 
 But I don't find any explanations about the question number 1: why 
we
 have no access problem when we test our application in the Flex
 Builder environment, and then we receive a lot of security access
 problem when the application run on clients ?
 
 So, what is the difference between the Flash application running in
 Flex Builder and this Flash running out of this environment ?
 
 Is that means that in Flex Builder the Flash application doesn't
 access the famous crossdomain.xml ?!
 
 I think that this diffrence between the development and the client
 environment is a great problem for Flex devloppers ! It means that 
if
 our application runs on our computer, we have no garanty that it's 
ok
 for clients !

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Help - Flex application no longer works!

I think there are issues with resources in loaded apps.  The apps can
end up looking at the main app for their resources instead of their own
app.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Help - Flex application no longer works!

 

Thanks for your help Alex.

First of all, I tried adding a DateFormatter to a class which is shared 
by all my applications and it worked! So as you say this suggests a 
linker dependency issue but I have no idea where the issue suddenly 
came from.

I have not experimented with RSLs, modules or library projects (yet) so 
all of the application SWFs in my project should include everything 
they need and not depend on anything else.

My project is structured as follows (I've simplified the names to make 
things easier to explain):

- Source Path Folder 1 (some common code I wrote)
- Source Path Folder 2 (some common code from 3rd parties)
- Main.mxml
- App1.mxml
.
.
- App4.mxml

The App1..App4 applications are loaded in SWFLoaders by the Main app 
when they are needed. They all make use of many classes in the source 
path folders. My DateRenderer, which uses the DateFormatter, lives 
beneath Source Path Folder 1 and is used by App4.mxml. It is when 
App4.mxml is loaded at runtime that I get the resource bundle error.

As suggested I created a link report for App4.mxml (when it wasn't 
working). I've not looked at link reports before but it contains the 
following section which suggests (to me) that DateFormatter and its 
resource bundles *should* be linked in:

script name=C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 2\Flex SDK 2
\frameworks\libs\framework.swc(mx/formatters/DateFormatter) 
mod=1159976667000 size=4167
def id=mx.formatters:DateFormatter / 
pre id=mx.formatters:Formatter / 
dep id=mx.core:mx_internal / 
dep id=mx.formatters:DateBase / 
dep id=mx.resources:ResourceBundle / 
dep id=Date / 
dep id=flash.system:ApplicationDomain / 
dep id=AS3 / 
dep id=Math / 
dep id=mx.formatters:StringFormatter / 
dep id=SharedResources_properties / 
/script

Then a bit further down it shows my DateRenderer with DateFormatter as 
a dependency:

script name=C:\Dev\Flex\CommonCode1
\util\renderers\DateRenderer.mxml mod=1174410196890 size=2000
def id=util.renderers:DateRenderer / 
pre id=mx.controls:Label / 
dep id=mx.formatters:DateFormatter / 
dep id=Date / 
dep id=mx.events:FlexEvent / 
dep id=AS3 / 
/script

Is this wrong somehow? When a dummy DateFormatter is added to the 
common class then the link report for App4.mxml contains a second 
script section which lists DateFormatter as a dependency.

Any ideas? I've even tried reinstalling Flex Builder and recreating 
the project but I still get the same error! This is so frustrating 
because everything worked fine up until yesterday lunchtime...

Regards,

Nick.

 Add a DateFormatter to the main app. If that solves the problem then
 you have a linker dependency issue. If you are using modules, rsls or

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Event Dispatching through more than one component

The top of the display list is the stage.  The stage always has one
child (the root) which in Flex apps is a SystemManager.  The app and all
popups are children of the systemManager.

 

Stage - SystemManager -  Application

PopUp1

PopUp2

 

The event model in Flash/Flex is based on the DOM event model
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/events.html

If you search for bubbling and capture in our docs you'll find easier to
read descriptions.

 

But basically, when PopUp2 dispatches an non-bubbling event, the stage
first dispatches the event in capture phase, then the SystemManager in
capture phase, then PopUp2 as a regular event.

If the event was a bubbling event, the same would happen, but then
SystemManager would dispatch it again in bubbling phase and finally the
Stage in bubbling phase.

 

addEventListener has a parameter as to whether you want to listen in
capture phase or not.  Events have a constructor parameter as to whether
the event bubbles or not.  Capture phase basically allows containers to
supervise and block events going to their children.  Bubble phase serves
as notification that the child dispatched an event.

 

In theory this makes the Popups even more loosely coupled from each
other than the other suggestions.  Each Popup simply dispatches events.
Other code can capture all events coming from popups (yes, it has to
know what the event name is).  Popups can listen to other popups without
having to watch for their creation and destruction since you are going
to addEventListener on systemManager instead of the actual popups.

OK, I understood the other responses, but not this one. Agreed that I 
tried setting bubbles to true in my customEvent, and then each event 
instance, and the dispatched event did not pass through embedded 
windows. But I've never used systemManager, nor do I entirely 
understand bubbling. Can you forward me to an example or doc 
explaining this?

And does this somewhat move away from loosely-coupled components (which 
I'm trying real hard to achieve!).

Thanks,

 Each popup is parented by the systemManager so it won't bubble from 
 one popup to the next. However, each popup can listen to the 
 systemManager for the event to bubble to it, or listen in capture
