[flexcoders] Flex drawing application
Somebody develop a drawing/CAD application with Flex? Is Flex enough powerful to develop this kina of applications? I don't want to develop a Photoshop(for example), I have a client that need a simple CAD application, for now we develop this with wxWidgets, but I think that is possible to develop this with Flex. Thanks Giro.

Handle the DateField's open event and set the position of its dropdown.
The dropdown property is in the mx_internal namespace (which means it is

x and y are properties, not styles.
A DateField pops up its DateChooser in a location relative to the DateField.
Are you trying to make it pop up in some location you specify?

[flexcoders] Problems with configuring Eclipse workspace (Flex, Java, JBoss)
I have a workspace in Eclipse 3.2.2 (with WTP 1.5.4 and Flex plugin) with one Dynamic Web Project. This dynamic web project contains my Flex application and some Java files as well. I would like to be able to do the following: - deploy this as a war-file to JBoss (version 4.0.2) - be able to debug the Java as well as the Flex files - have the Flex Development Perspective work correctly (ie. Design Mode should work correctly) - have hot deployment of changes in the Java and Flex files to JBoss (perhaps a different issue) First let me explain the source folder structure. WebProject |- locale (contains resourcebundles for each language the application needs to support (in seperate directories)) |- src |- main |- java (all my java source files) |- flex (all my flex source files) |- webapp (contains WEB-INF, META-INF, main application mxml, images etc) |- test |- java (all my java test source files) |- flex (all my flex test source files) The Dynamic Web Project has the Java Nature as well as the Flex Nature. The build path for Java is as follows: - WebProject/locale/en_US (output folder: WebProject/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/flex/user_classes) - WebProject/src/main/flex (output folder: WebProject/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/flex/user_classes) - WebProject/src/test/flex (output folder: WebProject/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/flex/user_classes) - WebProject/src/test/java (output folder: WebProject/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/classes) (Default output folder is WebProject/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/classes) The build path for Flex is as follows: Main source folder: WebProject/src/main/webapp Output folder: WebProject/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/flex/user_classes Additional source folders outside main source folders: - WebProject/locale/en_US - WebProject/src/main/flex - WebProject/src/test/flex Problem 1: in Design Mode in the Flex Development Perspective all components present in the src/main/flex directory are not found, they appear as a red cross. However I have no compile errors. When I deploy the WebProject to JBoss the application works fine. I can debug the Java code (when JBoss is started in Debug mode), and debug the Flex application (by debugging the Flex Application which points to the location where JBoss is running). It seems the Flex Development Perspective is having trouble with recognizing the additional source paths in the Design Mode. When I move the components from the src/main/flex directory to the main source folder of Flex (src/main/webapp) it does work correctly. However I no longer have a separation between the Flex source and test files, plus this means I have to change the Maven build file and that's something I'd rather not do. Problem 2: When I make a change in a mxml, I would like to see this change immediately a my JBoss server. I can understand that I would have to reload the application, but currently it's necessary to stop and start JBoss. So my questions are: What should I do to fix the problem in Design Mode? And is it possible to have Flex do hot deployment to JBoss (or any other server)?
[flexcoders] AS3: dispatchEvent from within event handler?
I'm trying to do what i think should be pretty simple.
I want to dispatch an event when my xml has completed lodaing.
For the life of me i can't figure out why event does not get
dispatched from handleXML, I know the listner works because I've
tested it by dispatching the same event from a button click.
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

[flexcoders] DataGrid with multiple rowheaders / colheaders - Flex 3?
Hi all, I've been off this list for about a year now, so i'm not completely up to date on the activity on the list. However, i've still failed to find people extending the DataGrid component to allow for multiple row/column headers and groups and row/column footers. I know that I can probably write such a component myself, but I've been delaying it in hope of somebody else writing it first :) Anyways, does anybody know of such an implementation of the DataGrid, or does anybody know if the Flex team at Adobe is working on such a component for the next release of Flex? Speaking of which - I've heard some rumours of Flex 3. Is there a status, feature-list or alpha-release-plan or something? Best regards, Gunnar A. Reinseth (developer at Exie AS)

To get XML from PHP, you must set resultFormat=e4x on your

ActionScript Objects. And, like Tracy said, you need a result handler.

Use an instance variable to hold your data.
But your hard coded data is not xml. Start by hardcoding your sample
xml into the app and putting it in an instance variable.
When you have everything working that way, make the httpservice.send()
call.
Use a result handler function to receive the data, and then assign it to
the instance variable.

A few Alert.show()'s later and I can verify that the functions are being
called in the order that you say:
I set itemsNeedMeasurement = true, then call invalidateProperties(),
then Flex calls commitProperties() and makeRowsAndColumns. But it still
doesn't seem to size the rows any differently than the first time it was

Subject: [flexcoders] TileList itemRenderer resize
I am using a mostly default (some options, no subclassing) TileList
with a custom itemRenderer. I have been using the same itemRenderer
for a while with no problems. I made a change to where one of the UI
elements inside of this itemRenderer sets its visible and
includeInLayout to false depending on the underlying data. When this
happens the height of the itemRenderer should change, but the TileList
doesn't seem to realize this.
I am assuming that the TileList does a height/width calculation early
on and doesn't notice that things are different. I am fine with
subclassing, but at this point I don't know where to look for the
right functions/events to latch on to to make this work as I expect.
BTW, I know that the measurements are based off of the first data
element, but because of the way this actual application works all of
its itemRenderers will be the same size -- they just need to change
sizes at runtime sometimes.
TIA,
Daniel

[flexcoders] Problem: FileReference onComplete event handler fires too soon - not properly waiting for HTTP status code 200
Dear all, We are trying to use Flash 8's FileReference API to upload the big media files in our web app. In our application we upload big media file first to some transient server and then immediately in the same uploading process we start moving this file to Amazon S3 file storage server. The whole uploading process for big media file can be accomplished within 100 seconds, 200 seconds or even 10 000 seconds on slow connections. Important note: Only after the WHOLE upload process finishes, HTTP status code 200 is sent from the server to the Flash player. Unfortunately, for some reason, FileReference 'onComplete' event handler ALWAYS fires after aprox.10-15 sec of time, regardless the fact that HTTP status code 200 is sent from the server after 100 seconds, 200 seconds and even 10 000 seconds. Why is that? Accordingly to Flash 8 livedocs, FileReference onComplete event handler fires ONLY when Flash Player has received an HTTP status code of 200 from the server . http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=2215.html -- With flex regards, Andriy Panas

Thanks, This clarifies issue quite nicely for me. Tero _ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of mssairam Sent: 22 May 2007 14:59 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm event question. Hi, Really you just need to have a LoginEvent, I think. Here is a sequence of the scenario -- 1) User enters username and password and clicks submit 2) A Cairngorm event named LoginEvent is broadcast probably with data elements containing username and password as entered by user 3) The Cairngorm controller has a mapping for LoginEvent-. The controller uses this mapping and figures out the class that handles this event -- lets say a class called LoginCommand 4) LoginCommand class should have a method declared -- public function execute( event : CairngormEvent ): void The event is passed to this method and this method effectively makes a call to the server. Typically this is done through a Delegate class. This is an asynchronous call so the execute method doesnt really wait for the response. 5) The same LoginCommand class should have a method that looks like this ... public function onResult( event : * = null ) : void When the server comes back with results after processing, this method receives the response back and processes it. 6) However if some error occurs, the handling is done by another method -- public function onError( event : * = null ) : void 7) In the onResult and onError methods, the information from the server is used to update the display. Typically this is done by updating the Model with the newly acquired information and the view updates itself by a previously specified databinding mechanism. I am not an expert on Cairngorm -- hope this helps. thanks --- In HYPERLINK mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com[EMAIL PROTECTED], Tero Pikala [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I'm designing my first Cairngorm application and would like to have opinions about events to create.

Re: [flexcoders] Difference in ActionScript File and ActionScript Class
Files are for blocks of code. You add them to your code using the include directive. You might think of them as snippets? Classes are programming entities that make up packages that make up applications. That is probably a horrible description. To parallel ColdFusion an ActionScript file would be the equivalent of an cfm file that you cfinclude into a page. An ActionScript class would be a CFC. If you look up the documentation on include and import you might fond some more info. haravallabhan wrote: Hi All, What is the difference when using an ActionScriptFile and ActionScript Class?

Re: [flexcoders] star (*) data type vs. Object
* is just like Object
I couldn't disagree more.
I really dislike that Object is referred to in the docs about *. There is an
implication there that they are similar when they really aren't.
This is a sore spot for me everytime I use Array.pop() and Array.shift() in
the Flash IDE. Both of those functions have their returns typed as Object.
Why? Someone thought it was a good idea because you can have any type
returned ... Well, no. Yes, you can have any type returned at runtime, but
you can't actually type the return variable to anything except Object or
nothing.
For example, the Array.as file in the Flash 8 Classes folder defines:
function shift():Object;
If you try to do this you will get a compiler error:
var arr:Array = new Array(3);
var n:Number = arr.shift(); compiler error
The same holds true in AS3. For example:
function go():Object
{
return 'something';

[flexcoders] Re: DataGrid with multiple rowheaders / colheaders - Flex 3?
Hi, However, i've still failed to find people extending the DataGrid component to allow for multiple row/column headers and groups and row/column footers. I would like you to clarify, what do you mean by having multiple column headers for DataGrid. You can use item renderer for column header to place more than one control inside Datagrid's column header. As for supporting footer in Datagrid, you can find this post helpful: http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2007/04/datagrid_footers.html#comments - With best regards, JabbyPanda

[flexcoders] changing states in module behaves strange
Hello,
Here's the story:
I have a custom window and a class which defines a specific content
(pictures, text, other components and so on).
My module loads a custom window and sets its content to that
specific class (much like a popupmanager, if you like, but i can't
use that for this project).
My problem is that, whenever one of the windows changes state, it
jumps back to the upper left corner, where all moduleLoaders objects
are.
I have implemented transitions between the states, and if I remove
them, the window doesn't jump anymore.
One of the transitions looks like this:
mx:Transition id=resUp fromState=* toState=results
mx:Sequence target={this.parent.parent}
mx:AddChildAction/
mx:Resize target={this.parent.parent} heightTo=460/
/mx:Sequence
/mx:Transition
where this.parent.parent leads to the custom window.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

[flexcoders] Locking the focus to a component
I've got an app where I want a single component to *always* have keyboard focus and prevent other components (like lists, buttons, etc.) from ever getting keyboard focus (they'll all be mouse-controlled). What's the best way to do this? Is there a straightforward global way to handle this or will I need to add focus handlers to all the components that *aren't* supposed to get focus and have them redirect it? Or, could would it work to put a focus handler on the component and simply have it grab the focus back whenever its lost? Is that going to cause any loops or weird behavior in the Flex components?

Re: [flexcoders] star (*) data type vs. Object
The problem is that AS3 is trying to catch inheritance issues (which *does*
go a bit against the dynamic typing grain, but that's kind of the point of
AS3). So, String is an Object but Object isn't necessarily a String (which
is why the compiler requires a typecast). So, a dynamic type would be
convenient (in that you save the keystrokes of the typecast) but you'd also
lose the type information (so you couldn't do something like
myObject.myMethod().anotherMethod() and have the IDE help you out or the
compiler verify it).
You could always disable strict type checking in your project properties...
that should eliminate the issue all together (I believe the end result is an
implicit cast to whatever the type is of the desintation or l-value is).

RE: [flexcoders] star (*) data type vs. Object
As far as I'm aware, Object was made different from * in order to make
it possible to program without thinking about the 'undefined' value,
which Object can't store. It banishes the 'undefined' value from the
part of the language that is compile-time-typed, because toher
compile-time-typed languages do not have both 'undefined' and 'null'.
The Object type requires downcasting because that's normal for all
compile-time-types. The * type doesn't require downcasting because it
isn't a compile-type-type at all. It is simply a notation that tells the
compiler I really want this thing to have no compile time type as
opposed to simply omitting the type annotation, which might mean I
forgot to give this thing a compile-time-type.

[flexcoders] Re: Working with Session....
I am sure there are many ways to make this happen some better then others. -IF values never change once they are logged in then you could pass them in a FlashVars... kinda oldschool but still works - Write them as JavaScript vars on page and read them in, like with at External Interface (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/flash/external/ExternalInterfa ce.html) or Flex/AJax bridge - Write a service (jsp or something) that returns the users session vars as XML and just call the service anytime you want to recheck the users current session values.

Hi,
This;

needs to be
_service = new MyService();

[flexcoders] Possible to send object to POST data?
Hi all, Is it possible to pass an object (i.e. Graph) to a PHP script in a POST? and then store it in a database? Would I have to use HTTPService, URLRequest? I've only passed xml and string data, I was hoping I could send a whole object to be used later on in my application, rather than having to parse out every node of the graph into xml. Thanks
[flexcoders] Does Flex support Client Side Digital Certificates
Does Flex support Client Side Digital Certificates? I have been asked this question several times each time I have a hard time finding and answer/proof.

If it's all https traffic I am sure the browser handles this fine but what if you're using Flex Data Services for AMF binary transfer or messaging with Flash/Flex support the client side certificate?
Re: [flexcoders] Tabbing bug - disabling tabbing in the application
I have tried adding the listener to the main application, and to an
individual text input, but i can't catch it.
I have tried listening both with and without useCapture (therefore attaching
in an mxml tag and also manually on creation complete -- not both at the
same time of course).
the handler is just a dumb handler but I can still provide it:
private function focusChangeHandler(event : Event) : void
{
trace(focus change);
}
I would be interested to know how you were able to shut down the FM.
We are not running 2.0.1 hotfix, because we don't use any DataGrid and I
didn't see any fix worth making the change for now. Is there a fix that
wasn't described in the hotfix kb?

[flexcoders] DateFormatter - going BC
has anyone worked with DateFormatter and had to format dates for BC or, how about dates prior to 100AD?

IE: I'll require a 4 digit entry, and expect to be able to get back or 72 would = 0072, not 1972 anyone? -- [ JPG ]

AMFPHP allows you to do RPC with objects too. Last thing I've heard and seen is that AMFPHP is changing hands. You'd need to monitor traffic to see what the future holds for it. WebORB is extremely solid and Mark and Harris at Midnight Coders are great in keeping up with adding new features to it. Essentially it comes down to your preference.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Tabbing bug - disabling tabbing in the
application
I have tried adding the listener to the main application, and to an
individual text input, but i can't catch it.
I have tried listening both with and without useCapture (therefore
attaching in an mxml tag and also manually on creation complete -- not
both at the same time of course).
the handler is just a dumb handler but I can still provide it:
private function focusChangeHandler(event : Event) : void
{
trace(focus change);
}
I would be interested to know how you were able to shut down the FM.
We are not running 2.0.1 hotfix, because we don't use any DataGrid and I
didn't see any fix worth making the change for now. Is there a fix that
wasn't described in the hotfix kb?

Tried the keyFocusChange, but nothing to do, the event still gets fired
after the FocusManager handles the keyDown event.
Any other ideas?

You can turn off tabbing by capturing keyFocusChange event from the
stage.

Subject: [flexcoders] Tabbing bug - disabling tabbing in the application
We are having a bug in our application when the user presses the tab
key in any field. The error is the following:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child
of the caller.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/getChildIndex()
at
mx.core::Container/getChildIndex()[C:\dev\flex_201_gmc\sdk\frameworks\mx

http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::sort ()
at fl.managers::FocusManager/::sortFocusableObjects()
at fl.managers::FocusManager/::keyDownHandler()
I am currently unable to narrow down the problem to a specific
component, so until I find a better solution, I would like to disable
tabbing globally in the application.
It's impossible to provide an exhaustive list of things I've tried in
order to achieve that result, but I've been unable to block the tab
keydown event from getting to the FocusManager. I have tried listening
to the keydown event everywhere (also using useCapture = true) in the
application, from the root component to the fields where the user can
actually press tab, but nothing works.
Does anybody have a quick fix to disable tabbing?
Thanks,
Mark

Re: {Disarmed} Re: {Disarmed} [flexcoders] Possible to send object to POST data?
No, neither AMFPHP nor WebORB require FDS, well, at least not the server technology. You have to set up the Flex project as an FDS project type and you may need to make sure that the FDS SDK is installed on your development box. However, the rest is handled by the server components (AMFPHP/WebORB for PHP). AMFPHP and WebORB each handle things a bit different. FDS goes beyond what either of them currently offer, with WebORB coming closer to the FDS feature set. WebORB for .NET is a different story and you should check it out too. However, that would be a .NET implementation. Mark Piller at Midnight Coders would need to chime in here, but I believe there are plans to expand WebORB for PHP quite a bit. So definitely keep that in mind. If you look at the feature set of WebORB for .NET, especially for the Enterprise version, there is a good chance that a number of them will end up in the PHP version too, at least that's what was stated by Mark in the past. If you require the full feature set of FDS now, you'll need to consider it instead.

Re: [flexcoders] Tabbing bug - disabling tabbing in the application
Tried the hotfix and didn't work.
Also tried listening to the event on stage like you specified, but again
that gets fired after the error.
Interesting you mention the problem with scrollbars, because that's what it
seems like the problem is here too. The FM is looking for the parent of
VScrollBar (or HSCrollBar) in a VBox for example and that's what throws the
error. It's a shame that the hotfix didn't work, i was really enthusiastic.
Other ideas?

The hotfix fixed a problem where scrollbars were accidentally getting
focus.
In theory in your creationComplete handler, you should be able to do:
systemManager.stage.addEventListener(FocusEvent.KEY_FOCUS_CHANGE,
focusChangeHandler);
and start seeing traces.

[flexcoders] textAlign not working for TabBar
I'm not to get textAlign=left working on the TabBar
control. I've searched the archives and find no
references to this issue.
Is my code flawed in some way that I'm just not catching?
mx:TabBar direction=vertical dataProvider={vacCAppList}
labelField=app width=300 textAlign=left
itemClick=fSelectApp(event)/
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, have you found
a work-around.
[flexcoders] Re: WSDLError Element not resolvable with WebService using creationComplete
There is a thread that kind of answers this problem over in the Adobe Flex2 General Discussion forum: WebService bad element / not resolvable http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=585\ threadid=1257326 The work-around to this problem is from scottpez: Hi, I finally figured out the problem and found a solution. The problem was that the creationComplete event was being fired before the webservice component was able to load the wsdl file. The solution that seems to work is to create the mx:WebService component just as I had before except add a function that is called on its load event. So something like this: mx:WebService id=generator wsdl=... load=sendOperation(); And then in the creationComplete event of the application, I have generator.loadWSDL();. Finally, in the function sendOperation() I send the operation something like this generator.generateOperation.send();. Therefore the webservice operation is not sent until the wsdl has loaded. This seems to work for me. Thanks, Scott This sure seems like a bug to me. Several other posters note that they are experiencing the same problem and one points out that it appeared AFTER upgrading to 2.0.1 Flex from 2.0. Before that, 'creationComplete' worked properly. Which raises the question... How does one examine and/or post Flex2 bugs to Adobe's bug queue? I've poked around Adobe's support pages and anything resembling a bug queue does not seem to be at all visible to developers. To me, this is a shocking lack of openness on the part of Adobe that seriously impedes developers.
[flexcoders] Data Paging a la Matt Chotin for Flex 2.1
I am getting ready to implement a report for a project that requires the user to be able to sift through a maximum of 150,000 records from a table (yes, we all know that in reality this is ridiculous, but we also know that customers get what customers want). I read through Matt Chotin's posts on large datasets and will likely go down that path, but I'm in a time cruch and so the hope of saving some time, I am curious as to whether anyone has already ported his samples to 2.1 as they are from way back in 04. Or, if anyone has a better option, I'm all ears. Thanks, Shaun Matt's post: http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mchotin/archives/2004/05/large_data_sets_2 .cfm
