[flexcoders] How do I pause
My movie changes states when the user hits a button, but I want it to pause for 5 seconds. How do I do that ? I see something about pausing a sequence in the documentation. do I have to create a sequence first ?

Ok, if you're getting this from an rss feed then you're not going
to like this. Also this solution uses mx_internal. If you don't know what
that is, it's a set of methods/properties, that adobe says may change so they
should be used with extreme care because your code might break on updates.
However, in this case we're using it once to avoid creating a subclass so I
think it's a fair trade.
import mx.core.mx_internal ;
use namespace mx_internal; // this line should be right after the import
statements.
...
textArea.htmlText = rssText;
textArea.validatePr operties( ); // initializes image loaders
var textField:UITextFie ld = textArea.getTextFie ld(); // mx_internal line to
get textField of TextArea
for (each imageID in rssText) { // how you actually implement this psuedo code
line depends on the rssText you already have
var loader:Loader = textField.getImageR eference( imageID) as Loader;
var loaderInfo:LoaderIn fo =
loader.contentLoade rInfo;
if (loaderInfo. bytesLoaded != loaderInfo.bytesTot al) { // it would be
pointless to add listeners to loaders that have completed
loaderInfo.addEvent Listener( IOErrorEvent. IO_ERROR, imageLoaderErrorLis
tener); // you might want to use weakReference here for memory management if it
works.
}
}
public function imageLoaderErrorLis tener(event: IOErrorEvent) :void {
// inform user if you want.
}

[flexcoders] load an image inside a UIComponent
Hello, I have the following situation: I have an AS class which extends UIComponent, and based on some settings read from an xml, I must load an image, a movie or display a text inside that class. When I'm creating the image, and adding it with addChild(imageObject), if I don't set some values for width and height, it will not display. Can I find out the original width and height of the picture after it has been displayed this way? As a quick remark, if I use parent.addChild(imageObject) (where parent is Application), the image displays without any width and height set (i'm using Flex 2), but i would like to have each picture displayed inside the corresponding class. Thanks!

[flexcoders] dynamic images and copy protection
Another crazy idea from my clients :). I need to load images from xml, and also the client wants some protection for the images. The only protection I can think of is to embed them, but how can i do that if i have an xml which defines the whole layout and content? Encrypting them us not an option. Also, they have to run locally, so loading the images from a server is also not an option. Any ideas? Can I embed images with dynamic paths? If so, maybe I can use MTASC and recompile the SWF every time a picture or something changes. Thanks

[flexcoders] How to know when TextArea has updated
Hi,
I am extending the TextArea class (call it MyTextArea) and want to get
information about the text in the textField. I wait for the
CREATION_COMPLETE event before accessing the textField, but the
textField.getLineIndexOfChar() method returns -1 directly after an
update of this.text. Is there an event to listen to that will ensure
the text has been updated and rendered so that getLineIndexOfChar()
and other similar methods will give the expected results?
I include my code below.
By the way, I have a click listener and after the SWF loads and I
click on the TextArea, I get the expected values of getLineIndexOfChar().
Thanks for your help,
James
public class MyTextArea extends TextArea {
public function MyTextArea():void {
super();
// have to wait until CREATION_COMPLETE fires otherwise
// this.textField is null
addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, onCreationComplete);
}
private function onCreationComplete(e:FlexEvent):void {
// looks like the text gets set but info about the text
// layout in the TextField is not yet known...
this.text = 'this is a long string\n of multiline text';
// these both return -1
trace(this.textField.getLineIndexOfChar(1));
trace(this.textField.getLineIndexOfChar(25));
}
}
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Trigger a function in the main applicatoin mxml from a popup window.
Hi Kal,
I believe BJorn is talking about listening within your flex application for
the closeEvent generated from your popup window upon the event.
When your listener picks up the closeEvent,
within your mxml application you may make your function call to do your
state changing work
For Example:
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.managers.PopUpManager
import mx.containers.TitleWindow;
import mx.events.CloseEvent;
private var myWindow:TitleWindow;
private function showWindow(event:Event):void {
myWindow = TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, TitleWindow));
myWindow.addEventListener(CloseEvent.CLOSE, closeHandler);
myWindow.showCloseButton = true;
}
private function closeHandler(event:CloseEvent):void
{
//do your application state changing
}
]]
/mx:Script
This creates a popup window instance, and then assigns a event listener to
actively listen for that specific closeEvent..
When it detects the event occurred it will execute the closeHandler
function, which you can control to do your bidding..
You probably won't be wanting to create your initial popup from within flex
actionscript anyways...
hopefully this helps some

[flexcoders] custom container layout woes
Hello, after some tossing and turning with my .fla and my flex app I just can't seem to figure out how to fix this problem, though I did come up with a semi fix but its more or less ghetto... I have made a custom container in flash and have exported it successfully to flex and can put components in it fine, though it experiences some crazy resizing on the flex layout when undergoing some animations within flash. Basically I have it fade in (fine), and then when I go to have it close via a button trigger it does a slide out animation, where there is two layers of the background and a mask for each, anyhow these move up and down and such to create the effect... What I get in the browser when the slide out animation is triggered, depending if I used absolute or vertical, (I played around with all sorts of schemes) is some massive scrollbars in each direction... and naturally the container will reposition to center itself on the page(moves left)ー this tells me that the container has gotten invisibly wider due to the animation, but I have to rule this out because my masks and layers within flash only move generally up, in the end of animation my rectangle of a container is only 10% visible on the flash cs3 canvas, the rest of its' body exists above (since it slid up during the animation woohaa).. So to slap a band aid on this I just stuck the container within a canvas with all scrolling policy's off and I am able to position all my other components around without having to use absolute.. though for some reason just my vertical scrollbar will still grow 3x in size even though it is happening within a canvas.. So I have two questions, Is my .swc that I exported for use in flex, causing my layout to break with its invisible masks even though that it is breaking horizontally while there is nothing in my .swc moving horizontally?? Or since I have my container resizing itself, should I have to override some kind of updateDisplayList()for flex? I don't really know what's going on so if you managed to read all of that I'd appreciate if you could point me in the right direction! =) Thanks, Bailey

[flexcoders] Measuring TextField properties in TextArea subclass
Hi,
I can't get the correct information about line numbers in the text of
a custom class that extends TextArea (call it MyTextArea).
If I set the text property of the TextArea in onCreationComplete()
then getLineIndexAtPoint() returns -1.
I imagine that after I update the text property, I must wait for the
display to update before getLineIndexAtPoint() will return anything
other than -1. So my questions are:
1. Can you force the display to update immediately?
e.g.
this.text = a new line of text;
// this will return -1 (not what I want)
trace(this.textField.getLineIndexAtPoint(2));
forceUpdate();
// this will return 0 (good)
trace(this.textField.getLineIndexAtPoint(2));
2. If you cannot force an update, is there an event to
listen for so that I know when the getLineIndexAtPoint()
method will return useful information?
Here is my example code that does not give me what I want:
public class MyTextArea extends TextArea {
public function MyTextArea() {
super();
// wait for creationComplete otherwise this.textField = null
addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, onCreationComplete);
}
private function onCreationComplete(evt:FlexEvent):void {
this.text = 'a long line of text \n with a line break ...';
// these both return -1
// but I want them to return 0 and 1, repectively
// because char 1 is on line 1 and char 25 is on line 2
trace(this.textField.getLineIndexOfChar(1));
trace(this.textField.getLineIndexOfChar(25));
}
}
(by the way, in my application, I unfortunately don't have the option
of setting this.text in the constructor).
Thanks in advance for your help,
James

[flexcoders] Re: Deep binding with Cairngorm question
This seems like a very dangerous design decision by Adobe. If somewhere in my application someone as set a listener on an object, and then in another place it is simply reinitialized should NOT cause a memory leak. I'm saying it will not, I'm saying that is a dangerous design for Flex. In this case, I was certainly going to reinitialize it. In my case the product list was based on a search service call. Once the user grabs a list of products, they are free to maintain those products (change desicriptions, status, etc.). I wanted the other views to update against this list. But, if the user now wants to do another search against a different set of products I was simply going to reinitialize productList to the new search results. Could be 100's of thousands products which is why I don't simply load all products. So, how is a developer suppose to know that an object they are about to reinitialize may cause a memory leak because someone set a listener on it?

Now it seems to work no matter how I set the list. I would have thought the old array collection would have been garbage collected because the arraycollection itself would no longer have any references to it. It would reference the handler function and the handler fucntion would reference the object it was declared in, but the array collection itself would be unreachable AFAIK. However, reading the docs for EventDispatcher it seems as though creating a new ArrayCollection could result in a memory leak. --- /langref/flash/events/EventDispatcher.html#addEventListener() If you no longer need an event listener, remove it by calling removeEventListener(), or memory problems could result. Objects with registered event listeners are not automatically removed from memory because the garbage collector does not remove objects that still have references. --- Probably the easiest thing to do would be to make the listener reference weak. Or, create an accessor function for the arraycollection and remove the listener from the old arraycollection and add a listener to the new arraycollection if they are not the same object. cheers, - shaun

RE: [flexcoders] How do I convert an object to an arrayCollection?
Paul, I don't think you should have to do any conversion, recent versions of Fluorine support sending DataSet and DataTable objects to Flex and are normally received as an ArrayCollection of Objects (optionally it can specify typed objects). The object structure you're seeing is what I've seen .NET send for web services.. are you using Fluorine to talk to an assembly directly or are you talking to a web service? If web service then change your call to use the assembly directly (it's more efficient). If that's not the problem then I'd suggest posting on the Fluorine mailing list as there are many people there that can answer your question (I haven't worked with DataSet/DataTable integration in Fluorine personally). http://fluorine.thesilentgroup.com/fluorine/index.html HTH, Sam --- We're Hiring!

[flexcoders] Re: Deep binding with Cairngorm question
This seems like a very dangerous design decision by Adobe. I don't know how its really avoidable.

RE: [flexcoders] dynamic images and copy protection
also the client wants some protection for the images. That old chestnut! You can point out that pressing the printscreen key normally overrides any encryption that you have on images ... Sometimes that works :-) Last time I had that (years back, in fact) , I built a script that called ming to embed each image in a swf wrapper that had a small actionscript that detected it's environment (I just used a global variable) and if that was not right, drew a black square over the image. It's only trivial protection, but the client was happy that just opening the files from explorer didn't show the pictures. Apart from that, really all I had to do was to load a swf rather than a bitmap, so the application was almost unchanged. Just an idea!

[flexcoders] Re: Deep binding with Cairngorm question
Well, Java takes care of it for you just fine with it's gc. But I realize its not fair to compare against another language, Flex is it's own and makes it's own decisions. But, hasEventListener means I have to check for all types of events individually since there is not a hasAnyEventListener (at least I can't see a method for that). So now the developer is still left having to know what the other code is listening for. Also, doesn't this also pertain to objects other than just ArrayCollections? I could have a custom object, value objects, all sorts of other objects that someone is listening to. So for those also I can not just reassign? Instead of just codeing: someObj = someOtherObj; I now need to code: if ( someObj.hasEventListener(someEvent) ) someObj.removeEventListener(someEvent); if ( someObj.hasEventListener(someOtherEvent) ) someObj.removeEventListener(someOtherEvent); ... someObj.removeAll(); // or someObj.clear(), etc. someObj.addItem(anotherList); // or someObj.setXxxx(), etc. Am I wrong or is this just begging for memory leaks? But, to respond to your argue point, yes, I believe it is up to the language to clear listeners on a dereferenced object along with gc. But, I understand that you differ from that opinion and that is fine. I suppose setting the variable final would cause this to be okay, but that is then saying that the variable knows how it is being used which isn't okay with me. Also, someone posted to just do a weak reference or do an accessor. Please expand on this. I just know that somewhere along the way someone (me included) is going to simply do someObj = someOtherObj and to say that could cause a memory leak is absolutely absurd in my book. Unless someObj is a resource of some sort. What about simple Strings, same thing for those?

[flexcoders] Re: VerifyError: Error #1025: An invalid register 5 was accessed.
I had seen sortCompareFunction, but I hadn't seen labelFunction. Much nicer than using an ItemRenderer. It still left me with the uncomfortable situation where I would have to write a lot of display and sort functions to get the various behavior I want. Then I ran across your blog posting about extending DataGridColumn. That's a brilliant idea. I created a custom DataGridColumn, defined a complexDataField property, and set the labelFunction and sortCompareFunction to functions in my custom class that do their thing based off of the complexDataField property. The result is that I can now specify complex properties like role.application.code in my MXML code, and the custom DataGridColumn uses that to walk the object graph to get what I need. The MXML got a lot simpler, and I only needed one labelFunction and one sortCompareFunction that genericly works on any object. Sound like a reasonable approach?

[flexcoders] KB-001: base64 under flex doesn't work with non-ascii code.
hi, I find this problem. because flex use utf-16 internally to represent string. so operator [] will fetch a very big int(non ascii) for base64. so it failed. just share with guys. regards icykorpio

[flexcoders] debugger problems
I have recently setup a new development machine (Vista) and in the process upgraded to Flex Builder 3 Beta 2. On my old machine the debugger always used firefox... and all was good :) Now, on this new machine it is using IE and all is not nearly as good. I am only able to open the debugger once per reboot of the machine. After that, no matter how I stopped the debugging session, I am told that another debugger may be running and that i should close it. I saw an open item for this in JIRA, and it all seems to be related to IE (I think). So, I decided to switch to debugging in FF. No luck, I can't find anything in the builder preferences that allows me to tell it which browser to invoke for debugging. I tried removing the IE debug flash player, but now it just says no debug player can be found and the launches IE without debug if I choose to continue. So... can anybody tell me how to force it to debug in FF? Any help is appreciated. Thanks Scott

RE: [flexcoders] MXML vs. pure ActionScript
I'm with Paul on this one. MXML is wonderful for layout, because I'm familiar with the HTML world and the metaphors are all the same (which means you can get someone less experienced to do layout tweaks :-). But when it comes to a standalone and fairly complex component, pure actionscript enables all the fancy outline and collapse features that MXML just doesn't. Basically, ask yourself this question: Is what you're building visual (MXML)? Or functional (AS)?

a warning message from the framework on the server which says...

This means that the age property was transmitted unnecessarily. Not a
problem for a primitive like a Number, but a real problem if age
contained an array of objects.
What I think I need is something like the transient keyword in Java
object persistence which causes a property not to be considered for
persistence, or in this case transmission.
Does any such thing exist, or is there another way of doing this?

RE: [flexcoders] MXML vs. pure ActionScript
I prefer to write components that use actionscript classes - and then use mxml that use these components. It makes use and reuse quite simple. Also combining this component into larger components seems easier this way as well. Often my development cycle is like this 1) Write actionscript to get things working the way I want them to 2) Refactor this actionscript to make it readable and optimized 3) Create a component and move this actionscript into their own reusable classes, or into that component. 4) Replace original code with instantiation of that component and consider what variables will need to be set at the mxml level. So my application xml really doesn't have much actionscript in it. Its more of a straight outline of components. It has some actionscript like a creationcomplete function, etc. but .. well here's an example: You have an accordion with some UI elements and one of the accordion members should allow file upload. You could add a button with label browse and in the script section of the application have a function you call on click that pops up the file selector. This is Step 1. After you test it and see its working, you recode it a bit, maybe you want a text field to show the name of the file selected, or a list to show the files selected in the multi-file upload case. So you get that working, you clean the code so its somewhat reusable. That is step 2. Now you create a component called the FileUploader, perhaps another one called MultiFileUploader, they both use an actionscript class you create that contains most of the logic you previously wrote. This is step 3. Then in your application mxml you now have an instantiation of a FileUploader instead of an hbox, a text field, and a button. And all the actionscript that controls how that thing behaves is contained in the component or in classes it uses, so at the application level all you see is mxml. You test out this mxml, and realize you want to change the component so at the mxml level you can specify the filetypes it accepts, so you create a member on a class that you decide both FileUploader and MultiFileUploader will inherit from - called GenericFileUploader. The members name is fileFilterString, lets say, so that you can do something like FileUploader fileFilterType=images /.. and the generic class will create the FileFilter class each of its children uses in its constructor, actually using Images (*.jpg,*.jpeg, *.gif, *.png) as the string to pass in. So the general tendency is to push actionscript further and further down away from where you will ever have to touch it again, if possible - I doubt you would ever instantiate a GenericFileUploader using mxml, but much of the actionscript that both the FileUploader and MultiFileUploader use would be in that class (which could be mxml component or just actionscript). Then these components become building blocks that are easily used across your application and even future applications. How does this approach jive with the other ppl on this list? Sound about right?

[flexcoders] Re: crossdomain.xml... real or not-so-real security?
You guys misunderstood what I was talking about. Here is the landscape: Server 1: (www.foo.com) Owned by me and I have a crossdomain.xml which allows access to *.foo.com. This server is NOT compromised and nobody is modifying any files. Server 2: (www.evil.com) Owned by malicious user. A Flash file is loaded on this server. The flash file makes calls to www.foo.com which under normal circumstances would NOT be allowed to access data on my server because of the crossdomain only allowing access from *.foo.com. Workstate 1: Owned by malicious user. The user makes a local host entry for evil.foo.com which points to the same IP as www.evil.com. the malicious flash file is loaded under the evil.foo.com host header which then gives it access to my server at www.foo.com. As you can see, no computers are compromised, yet the crossdomain.xml model fails under VERY simple circumstances.

[flexcoders] Re: debugger problems
To use Firefox for debugging, you set the Eclipse-wide preference that controls which browser to use for any context where Eclipse needs a browser. It is not a Flex Builder-specific setting. To change it, go to preferences, General, Web Browser. As for the IE problems, I am pretty sure this is caused by changes in IE's security model when Vista's UAC (User Account Control) is turned on. After finishing a debugging session, look for a process called ieuser.exe, and if it exists, kill it, and see if that allows Flex Builder to once again debug. Or, turn off UAC.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: debugger problems
Mike - Thanks so much... you have saved me a ton of rebooting. I was so focused on flex builder specific settings related to debug that I didn't notice that setting under general. Thanks again Scott Mike Morearty wrote: To use Firefox for debugging, you set the Eclipse-wide preference that controls which browser to use for any context where Eclipse needs a browser. It is not a Flex Builder-specific setting. To change it, go to preferences, General, Web Browser. As for the IE problems, I am pretty sure this is caused by changes in IE's security model when Vista's UAC (User Account Control) is turned on. After finishing a debugging session, look for a process called ieuser.exe, and if it exists, kill it, and see if that allows Flex Builder to once again debug. Or, turn off UAC.

After that, no matter how I stopped the debugging session, I am told that another debugger may be running and that i should close it. I saw an open item for this in JIRA, and it all seems to be related to IE (I think). So, I decided to switch to debugging in FF. No luck, I can't find anything in the builder preferences that allows me to tell it which browser to invoke for debugging. I tried removing the IE debug flash player, but now it just says no debug player can be found and the launches IE without debug if I choose to continue.

Re: [flexcoders] Changing the width to 100%
Hi all there, thanks for your help.
Indeed, the percentWidth is what i was looking for, thanks a lot!
However, still I have this problem.
I have an HBox with two panels, side by side. My mainPanel and my helpPanel.
I have a 'hide helpPanel button' which does the obvious. This is my
actionscript behind this:
public function showHideHelp():void {
if (helpPanel.visible == true) {
mainPanel.percentWidth = 100;
helpPanel.visible = false;
} else {
mainPanel.percentWidth = 85;
helpPanel.visible = true;
}
For some reason, this does not works :-( My mainPanel does not resize to
100% as one would expect. Instead, it resizes just a bit more from it's
initial width (that is 85% and 15%).
Am I doing something wrong here?
thanks again,

HTTPService only allows text. You can however convert the ByteArray into Base64 and then transfer it via HTTPService. Note that this can be quite large, so you may want to encode it as JPEG first. There are two advantages to doing this...reduced network traffic, and you also then have the data in an appropriate format for users to download and save to their hard drive. There is a JPEG converter available here: http://code.google.com/p/as3corelib and an easy to understand tutorial here: http://mxdj.sys-con.com/read/370795.htm For an example of this in production, go here http://www.lookfamous.com.au/ Happy coding, Andrew Note sure, if HTTPService allows anything beyond text You can use URLLoader to send the data to server.. -abdul
