[flexcoders] How do you replay an effect?
I have numerous states, transitions and effects. When I enter a state
and the effect plays, i.e. creationCompleteEfect={draw_panels}, it
works fine the first time, but when leaving and re-entering the same
state, the effects don't play and the components appear static. I'm
guessing I need to use ShowEffect and HideEffect for each instance.
Thanks to all.
Re: [flexcoders] Loading and Controlling a Flash Animation within a Flex Application
hi mike;
a few day ago i had the same problem; i needed to load a swf and interact with
it.
i had to do it in 2 days so couldn't wait for the answers of this mail group
and i solved the
issue by migrating AS2 swf to AS3 using flash player 9 alpha. i dont know if
this is available
for you but if you can; you can fully control the swf and it's
objects,functions etc.
But let me inform that this not sth easy because in as3; support for _root is
removed. in addition
variables like _x , _width etc are changed to x , width ...
By the way; there were some replies from the flexcoders yahooGroup. try
searching for the messages with
subject : talking to Flash SWF's
i wish it helps.

Subject: [flexcoders] Loading and Controlling a Flash Animation within a Flex
Application
I am working on an educational game that essentially asks questions
and plays animations depending on the user's answer.
When the user selects the correct answer they should be shown a random
animation for their character, that has optional closed captioning and
the ability to be repeated if the user's clicks a button in my
application.
I am able to load the SWF animations fine within Image/SWFLoader
components as expected, but I'm having trouble stopping the animation
from looping, knowing when it has ended so i can show the repeat
button, or turning closed captioning on/off.
The closed captioning is inside the SWF files with an instance name of
closedCaptions with the hope that I could simply do something like:
swfloaderId. content.root. closedCaptions. _visible = false; from flex to
hide them as necessary. This also gives them the necessary control for
timing the text, etc.
Could someone enlighten me a little better on how to perform this
interaction? Does anyone have an example of this kind of interaction?
It seems like it should be pretty simple, but maybe I am missing
something.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Mike.

That's one of the reasons all of our mxml classes have no constructor

The code flow is then:
result = new clazz();
for (var p:String in args)
{
results[p] = args[p];

Hi again,
the solution I have so far is to make separate calls for each number of
arguments that needs to be passed to the constructor. It works, but of
course it is no elegant and generic solution.
case 1:
result = new clazz(args[0]);
break;
case 2:
result = new clazz(args[0], args[1]);
break;
etc.

Anyway, one solution I had thought of was to use a ObjectFactory of
sorts. Then you pass in an array of arguments to a getInstance
function and it would use the correct call based on the length of
the
array. It would be more code but it would be hidden away in a

class. If you need an example let me know.

[flexcoders] Filtered data in PlotSeries
I'm using an HTTPService to retrieve XML to use as a dataProvider on
a PlotSeries of a CartesianChart. My horizontal axis is a DateAxis.
I have written a custom item renderer to overlay a text value from
the item (XML) on the circle. In one particular instance so far, the
data contains two values. The scoreListXML contains the following
XML:
tenPlus date=10/08/2006 val=10.5 txt=22 /
tenPlus date=10/09/2006 val=10.5 txt=23 /
My PlotSeries is defined as:
mx:PlotSeries dataProvider={scoreListXML.tenPlus} xField=@date
yField=@val radius=10
itemRenderer=utils.AnnotatedCircleItemRenderer
I've observed in the debugger that the RenderData for the PlotSeries
contains these two distinct items.
However, the filteredData in the RenderData contains only the second
item.
If filterData=false is added to the PlotSeries, both items render
with the proper text values. If the filterData setting is not
specified, both items render with the same text value 23. With
filterData=true, both items render with the same text value 23.
Why would the filterData=true remove one of these two different
items? Any ideas?

supports coldfusion, so i would like to save that as a last resort.

[flexcoders] Word wrapping RadioButton Labels

I've tried creating an itemRenderer that contains a RadioButton and a TextArea in an HBox, and placed it in a List control. This works until I start scrolling through the list... the RadioButtonGroup loses the selected index. What I would like to do is just extend the RadioButton class and change it's Label property so that it can wrap text. Is that possible? Any help is much appreciated! TIA, MC

Re: [flexcoders] Flex E-Mail a Form PHP, ASP, or ColdFusion
videogamer2791,
I think you have 2 choices, either an app server sends the email, or you
rely on the default email program on the users' machines (using something
like: URLRequest(mailto:+ ... ) )
On the web, you have this issue sending email regardless of what you use
to code the UI (e.g. regardless if HTML, Flash, Flex, etc.)
Following is a sample method for sending mail from default email program on
the users' machines using AS3/Flex:
private function clickSendEmail_submitBtn():void {
var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest(mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]+
subjectBox +body=+ messageBox );
navigateToURL(u,_self);
}
btw ... any app server Flash can talk to, Flex can talk to too. Commonly
including: PHP, Java, ColdFusion, WebServices, etc. Will pembrokecycle.com
have access to an app server? If so, please post back regarding what
language. And of course there are any of a number of ways to send the data
from Flash/Flex to the app server.
Please post back any follow up questions you may have.
hth,

i am making a web page for a friend that will be at pembrokecycle.com,
I am a Flash AS coder with little experience with Flex, but I knew
that it would be a little easier with data, so I used that instead
(plus, the components look nicer). I am pretty much done with every
thing else except for the Contact Us page. In flash, I know to use
a php script with a new Load Vars class, but I have no idea what to
do with flex. I have seen Google searches with coldfusion, but no
tuts. I don't even know if google domains (which he is using),
supports coldfusion, so i would like to save that as a last resort.
some one please help me.
Also, im only 16, so please keep the explanation a little dumbed
down, even though i could probably understand it anyways.

[flexcoders] 1 Pixel Gap Between Scrollbar and List Component
I have a scrollbar skin that was created in Flash, but I've discovered a problem when the vertical scrollbar is first displayed in a List component. When an item is added to a list causing the vertical scrollbar to be drawn for the first time, there is a 1 pixel gap between the right edge of the vertical scrollbar and the right side of the List. If an additional item is added to the List then the scrollbar is correctly redrawn flush against the right side of the List. The gap also disappears if the browser window is resized. This also happens in the DataGrid, but sometimes the DataGrid will automatically refresh itself and draw the scrollbar correctly. Anyone have any idea why the first time a vertical scrollbar is displayed in a List there is a one pixel gap between the scrollbar and the component's edge? I don't think it's the skin because the same scrollbar is drawn correctly in other components. By the way, I've got the borderStyle set to none but the gap appears regardless of whether or not the borderStyle is set to none or solid. Thanks for any suggestions! Paul
[flexcoders] SOLVED: 1 Pixel Gap Between Scrollbar and List Component
Wow! This is like magic! I post a question and suddenly I figure the answer out myself :-) The answer, it turns out, did have to do with the skin, but there's a twist. I was using the Flash skin template supplied by Adobe and the scrollbar width in the template is 15 pixels. Just on a hunch I tried redesigning the scrollbar with a width of 16 pixels and the problem with the 1 pixel gap was solved. I would suggest that if you are creating a scrollbar using Adobe's skin template that you consider using a width of 16 pixels instead of the 15 pixels that Adobe recommends.

[flexcoders] Sending multiple HTTPService requests - how to really cancel all but the last
I'm using several HTTPService calls to plain old REST API's on the backend. If the end user clicks some of the UI controls multiple times quickly, many calls to these services get queued up, and it can take a long time for all the data to be retrieved. For ex. clicking on a list box item sends requests to refresh all the data, and if the user were to use the keyboard to quickly scroll through the listbox, many many calls would get queued up. I've tried setting the concurrency=last on the httpservices, but it appears the only effect of that is to make the UI change only when the last dataset is received, but still all the service calls continue to be queued and there is a long delay after making many calls. I've also tried httpservice.disconnect() and .cancel() before making any new backend call but it didn't appear to have any effect as far as preventing many calls from getting queued up. Thanks in advance for any ideas. I know I could also look into retrieving all the data only once and doing local Flex filtering on it rather than getting the data fresh from the backend each time, but for now it's just easier to make the backend calls and use the DB to do the proper filtering and querying.
[flexcoders] Re: Flex E-Mail a Form PHP, ASP, or ColdFusion
thats good to know, however, i found a way to do it with a php file combined with a mx:HTTPService however a new problem has occurred, google apps, which the person who i am making the web site for, does not support php, so right now i am looking for a file hosting site and see if that helps. ill post back to say if i have a victory
[flexcoders] AS3 encryption
Hi all, I'm looking for someway to encrypt the information I'm sending through HTTPService via POST. I need this information to be decrypted inside a JSP script at the back-end. So I need a encryption method that has a corresponding decryption method at server-side (Java) I'm not experienced with cryptography. If you already solved some problem like that. Please help. -- André Rodrigues Pena
[flexcoders] Problems using SSL
Hi all, I am trying to connect to a web server via SSL. It seems that all my HTTPService calls fail (httpsFault). Here is how I attempt to load things: 1. I load the SWF file directly (without HTML file) 2. I use HTTPS://DOMAIN/MYAPP.SWF https://DOMAIN/MYAPP.SWF (loading the app itself via SSL). The app loads... 3. In the app, all HTTPServices have relative addressing, meaning the script file name only - no http or https (protocol prefix). The app is supposed to run whereever installed, so I cannot do absolute URLS), but I would expect that the protocol of the original SWF url would be used in relative URL calls. And I think it does, because the web site accepts both SSL and non-SSL, and the errors I am receiving don't happen when I load the same app from the same location without https. Can anyone tell me how to do this properly without a crossdomain, etc.? Thanks much Iko
[flexcoders] Bender - Transfer to Flex Bridge
Hi all, I've been working on a simple to use bridge between the coldfusion Transfer ORM and Flex. For those who might be interested here are the details http://www.tobytremayne.com/index.cfm/2007/4/7/Bender-The-Flex-to- Transfer-Bridge code to follow as soon as it's working - the idea is to allow autogeneration of actionscript classes which along with the flex Bender component will allow you to make very simple calls in flex to persist to a database on the server, IE Bender.save (myActionscriptClass); Toby --- Life is poetry, write it in your own words --- Toby Tremayne Senior Technical Consultant Lyricist Software 0416 048 090 ICQ: 13107913
[flexcoders] Problem with calling web service
I'm trying to build a Flex File Manager (based on CFFM) and I'm using a web service to do all the work (rather than remoting).. I haven't done the web service thing in a while so I'm a little rusty - on the flex side, that is. Here's my MXML for the service: mx:WebService id=ws wsdl=http://localhost:8500/flexfm/flexfm.cfc?WSDL; showBusyCursor=true mx:operation name=init result=initResult(event) fault=genericFault(event)/ mx:operation name=getDirectory result=getDirectoryResult(event) fault=genericFault(event)/ /mx:WebService WHen I run ws.init(), I get a kind of generic web service error. Request implements version: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/, Response implements version null I don't know what's going on here. I googled the error result and there were zero results. I can load the WSDL just fine. I can call the methods via http GET just fine, they return the expected results. Can anyone offer some help here? Thanks.
