[flexcoders] Copying/Pasting from MS Word to a Rich Text Editor inside a Flex App
Hello All, Has there been any more headway made, regarding copying and pasting from a Word Document to a RTE within a Flex Application, and have the ability for the Flex App to decode all the MS Word Control Codes on the fly (and finally, having the document show up almost identical in the RTE). I know there are lots of different ways to render text - HTML, Rich Text Control Codes, and then the bulky MS Word Control Codes... This has been the biggest challenge I think, without having some other active control sitting in the middle, which handles all the decoding. I think with Apollo, this will be much more realistic, since it has more direct access to the local PC's system resources, and can potentially use automation. Could anybody please chime in on this thread, and indicate if there are any new solutions out there? Thanks in advance for all your help, Mike

The behaviour I just saw is that the 4th item in the 1st row and the entire 2nd row are responding to the mouse, but not the first three items. So I'm guessing there's something blocking events there. If i do: thumbs.scrollToIndex(lastitem_pos) and thumbs.scrollToIndex(0) it also 'fixes' the items. ( but only if there is a scrolllbar ). Are you sure the problem occurs even when there's no scrollbars? Can you try calling invalidateList() when the data is updated?

Basically you just set the sort on the collection, and the DataGrid will appropriately display a sort arrow on the header. So it's the collection you need to sort.

[flexcoders] Using RPC for an RSS feed reader in an FDS project
I have an FDS app and I want to add an RSS feed reader to the main page, allowing the user to supply the URL of the feed they want to display. I have a nice ticker based feed reader which I developed separately using an HTTPService. When I drop it into my fds app I get all sorts of errors about using proxies. Some research through the docs would appear to suggest that I need pre-configured destinations for my HTTPService because I am using FDS. That in turn would seem to imply that I can't have customisable URL's for the feed loactions. Am I wrong? How do I go about finding out how to do this? Anyone tried anything similar? Thanks Simon

I am creating a MainApp class instance in my mxml project file. I want to use this to control the basic common stuff throughout the application, and I have made an instance of a Canvas object that I will be using as a container to the constantly changing part of the screen. I made a ContentTemplate class that extends UIComponent (I had problems with addChild in actionscript before I realized if it's not pure as3 it needs to be a UIComponent to work). From this ContentTemplate class, I have created several classes that extend it and want to use addChild/removeChild to change that canvas part of the program. So, in MainApp I have a variable contentScreen of type ContentTemplate. Lets just say all ContentTemplate is doing is making a new text control. I tried to make this text control in the ContentTemplate, and since it is extending UIComponent - I thought just a this.addChild would work... Then in mainApp just add it to the display list of the Canvas object. This does not work. If I pass a reference to that canvas object in the constructor, then addChild from there it works.

After reading the Use Webservices lesson, I tried to prototype an
application with a DataGrid to display items retrieved from a webservice
of my own.
Here is my Flex application:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute creationComplete=basementIssues.getAllIssues.send()
mx:WebService id=basementIssues
wsdl=http://localhost:8080/basement-ws/services/IssuesService?wsdl;
useProxy=false
mx:operation name=getAllIssues
mx:request
/mx:request
/mx:operation
mx:operation name=createIssue
mx:request
description{issueDescription.text}/description
title{issueTitle.text}/title
/mx:request
/mx:operation
/mx:WebService
mx:Panel layout=absolute right=10 left=10 top=10
bottom=10 title=Basement Issues
mx:DataGrid right=0 left=0 top=0 height=265
dataProvider={basementIssues.getAllIssues.lastResult.issueListItem}
mx:columns
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Title
dataField=title/
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Creation Date
dataField=creationDate/
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Status
dataField=status/
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
mx:Button label=New issue
click=basementIssues.createIssue.send();
basementIssues.getAllIssues.send(); bottom=10 right=10/
mx:RichTextEditor right=10 id=issueDescription bottom=40
top=303 left=91
/mx:RichTextEditor
mx:TextInput right=10 left=91 id=issueTitle top=273/
mx:Label x=10 y=275 text=Title/
mx:Label x=10 y=304 text=Description/
/mx:Panel
/mx:Application
The creation works great (which I can see in my server log), meaning
that the service is correctly accessible, with a crossdomain.xml set up
and everything.
And it seems I have a problem mapping the results of getAllIssues call.
Here is the SOAP response I typically get from the webservice.

[flexcoders] Re: Howto dynamicly bind XML element to a TextInput component using BindingUtils?
can you just recall BindingUtils.bindProperty(txtDemo, text,
xml, label); in your click function?

The question is: Howto dynamicly bind XML element to a TextInput

Now I use following codes:

private function init(): void {
BindingUtils.bindProperty(txtDemo, text, xml, label);

BindingUtils.bindProperty(txtDemo, text, xml, label);
// txtDemo.executeBindings(); // no use anymore
}

mx:TextInput id=txtDemo/
mx:Button label=Test click=test()/
//--
My really idea is when bindable xml property is changed, then the
textinput will be updated as hoped. However, no update happens to
me
when I click the Test button.
But, if I make codes like that:
mx: TextInput id=txtDemo text={xml.label}/
the text will updated when xml changs.
So, what happened, I indeed need the dynamicly bind to the
textinput
compont.
Help me. thanks.

So if you add the Text object directly to the Canvas, it works, but, if there's a UIComponent in between, it doesn't. Canvas = UIComponent = Text // doesn't work Canvas = Text // works Suggestions: 1) Check question.parent.parent ... is it pointing to the Canvas? 2) Compile with -debug and see if you're getting a runtime error (and see the stack trace) 3) Are you overriding measure() in your UIComponent? If not, at least set its width and height explicitly.
Re: [flexcoders] MouseUP event dont't trigger
There could be a lot of reasons why this is happening. For starters, check
out my FAQ page at:

If none of those things are the problem, then you're going to need to
provide some more detail so we can figure out what other weird things might
be going on.

Hi Devin, the itemClickEvent only works on the items of the subMenus you could set an clickEvent on the menuBar and check the target, if it's a MenuBarItem so you could get the data property with the XML. HTH Gus CINet Consult
Re: [flexcoders] Click through a Container
Yeah, as Juan told me, tried it and it works great :) Thanks! So here is another question... What if I have other controls in that container that also need mouse interactivity?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Will Microsoft's new Silverlight Player Kill our beloved Flex ?
Silverlight does not require IE. It workes on IE and Firefox under Windows, and Safari for Mac. I also understand Firefox for Mac support is expected soon (if I've not already missed it). It has extensive cross platform functionality including streaming video support. It also has the advantage of development under Visual Studio which is a HUGE plus for me. Don't get me wrong, Eclipse is a good IDE with a good debugger and a great set of available (even free) 3rd party plug-ins. But, I've yet to find anything that can compare to the power and ease of Visual Studio 2005 (IMHO). All that being said Silverlight is not without it's problems: * It's control library is still very week. It does not even have a real TextInput equivalent in the last preview release I used. * I does not offer any form of compilation, so it is delivered to the end user as XAML and Javascript source code (which sucks). * It may also be a long time before it has anywhere close to the market penetration that Flash has now. I think Silverlight will be a good contender, but I really do not see it replacing Flash/Flex any time in the near future. - Kelly Paul J DeCoursey wrote: Ummm no IE does not work on the Mac, the last few versions were awful and barely worked. MS hasn't been developing it in at least 2 years, maybe three. They stopped supporting it over a year ago. Everybody uses Windows, almost all the workstations are windows. Macs have IE working OK. The better solution was a cross plataform solution, that's why I've been working with Flex. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Question about the 'includes' compiler option and SWC files.
Is there a way to indicate 'includes' to include a folder of classes instead of listing each one separately? What I want: -includes 'source.classes.*' This gives me an error, which leads me to believe that the compiler doesn't allow the * operator as a wildcard. This forces me to do this: -includes 'source.classes.class1' 'source.classes.class2' 'source.classes.class3'. (Is a mass include possible?) This seems like it could be a pain to update so I looked into putting the classes I wanted into a SWC file. I then created a library project in Flex Builder, put my desired classes in there, and compiled them into a SWC. I then included this into my project using the 'include-library' option, and my problem was solved. However, the SWC I generated is 322,208KB and the SWF from my main project is 225,261KB. A small number classes amounting to a few KB were included in the SWC but it is 322,208KB. Is Flex 2 including all the dependencies from the Flex framework in this SWC? Also, why is my project SWF file smaller than the SWC file? If anyone could share their knowledge about this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance! :-)

You could replace that block with;

Basically three things change from Mikes example.
private function changeIcon(event:MouseEvent):void {

}
I set a style rather than a property on an object we can't safely
access.
on the Icon class I add this metadata
[Style(name=arrowColor,type=uint,format=Color,inherit=yes)]
and updateDisplayList becomes this
override protected function
updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void {
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
if(this.parent!= null this.parent is UIComponent) {
if((this.parent as UIComponent).getStyle(arrowColor)) {
_color = (this.parent as
UIComponent).getStyle(arrowColor);
}
}
graphics.clear();
graphics.beginFill(_color, 1);
graphics.drawRect(0, 0, unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
graphics.endFill();

Might be possible to improve the logic in the part where it gets the
style.
