[flexcoders] Charting: adjust y-axis range automatically when changing x-axis range
Hi, I have a stock market line chart with a CategoryAxis (representing dates) along the bottom and a LinearAxis up the side. My chart has the option of adjusting the date range, which is done by switching the category data provider for the x-axis, but keeping the actual line series data provider the same. However, when I change the x-axis range, the y-axis range remains unchanged, as the min and max are being determined from the entire series data provider. How can I adjust the y-axis range to match only what is currently visible on the graph? Thanks, Iain

I have been trying to solve this issue for days but still couldn't
find the right solution.
I am going to make as simple as I can about the issue.
Here's the situation:
I have this DataGrid
mx:DataGrid id=myDataGrid width=100% height=100%
mx:columns
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=FirstName dataField=fName
itemRenderer=Renderer.NameRenderer/
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=LastName dataField=lName
itemRenderer=Renderer.NameRenderer/
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
===
Now here's the NameRenderer's definition:
mx:HBox width=100% horizontalAlign=left verticalAlign=middle
mx:Script
![CDATA[
override public function set data(value:Object):void {
super.data = value;
if (value != null)
{
myLabel.text = value;
}
]]
/mx:Script
!-- Remember the font size please. It relates to the issue-
-
mx:Label id=myLabel fontSize=14
/mx:HBox
==
Now, the grid displays fine in my flex app. Then I added a
functionality to be able to print the grid using almost exactly the
same like in this example:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/mx/printing/PrintDataGrid.htm
l#includeExamplesSummary
with the following exceptions:
- My FormPrintView doesn't have the all of the mx:columns stuffs
in
PrintDataGrid.
- Inside my doPrint() (this is in PrintDataGridExample section)
under
thePrintView.myDataGrid.dataProvider = myDataGrid.dataProvider
statement, I add this:
thePrintView.myDataGrid.columns = myDataGrid.columns;
==
Now when I print it out, everything is working fine and dandy (good
job Flex team!).
Then one day, I was told to do a bit change. The Printouts need
to
be in font-size 8 instead of 14. The grid looks great on the web
using font-size 14 but when it is being printed out, it needs to be
in font-size 8.
So my question is how do you do that?
Just to let you know, these were the things that I try:
- In my FormPrintView, I added this attribute 'fontSize=8'. I
thought that this will take care the problem but it didn't. It
wasn't
overriding myLabel's fontSize.
- Then I do another way using Bindable strategy, this is what I did:
== Create a global variable to store the font size.
GlobalFont.as
package myGlobals
{
[Bindable]
public class GlobalFont
{
public static const DEFAULT_SIZE:int = 14;
public static const PRINT_SIZE:int = 8;
public static var myFontSize:int = DEFAULT_SIZE;
}
}
==Then in NameRenderer, I change myLabel to be like this:
mx:Label id=myLabel fontSize={GlobalFont.myFontSize}
==Then on my doPrint(), I add this before I assign the dataProvider
and columns to thePrintView.myDataGrid:
GlobalFont.myFontSize = GlobalFont.PRINT_SIZE
==Then I do the print.
Result: It prints out with the font-size 8 :) But the Flex app will
show all my grid's column content to be shifted off the column
after
I scroll the grid up/down (you have to have large data that will
have
the vertical scroll bar to appear). You can fix the display again
but
clicking the column's header.
Again I call all Flex Masters to share your wisdom in this matter.
I have been given a deadline to fix this by early next week. So all
ideas/suggestions/anything will help.
Thank you!

Re: [flexcoders] DisplayObjects Layout problem
Components are resized by their parents, so even if an object is

sure what the timing of the parent updating is relative to adding a child.

try explicitly calling 'child.validateSize(true)' and '
child.parent.validateDisplayList()'

Hey guys,
I'm working in an application where I need to layout a bunch of panels
called 'windows'. The container of this panels is another panel called
'panelContainer'. I need to layout the windows horizontally,
vertically or absolute, depending of the button pressed byt the user.
Of course I could use the panelContainer.layout property, but I need
to set a move effect for each window, so I analyse the children of the
panelContainer and set the percentWidth and percentHeight and add a
listener for an updateComplete event for each Window. In the
updateCompleteHandler I move the Windows to its new X position with
the move effect, and calculate the X of the next window.
My problem is when I add a new Window to panelContainer. The default
size of a new Window is 400x400. I add the Window to panelContaner
throught panelContainer.addChild(newWindow) and then I call to the
layoutWindows method. The new window should be treated like any other
window, right? This doesn't happen... In the updateCompleteHandler,
the recently added window still has the default size (400x400) instead
of the assigned percentWidth and percentHeight...
Does anyone know why this happen?
I'll post the code for the layoutWindowsHorizontally and the
updateComplete handler...
private function layoutWindowsHorizontally ():void
{
posX = 0; // variable that sets the X position of each Window.
for (var i:int = 0; i panelContainer.numChildren; i++)
{
if (panelContainer.getChildAt(i) is WindowPanel) // if a child of
the panelContainer is a WindowPanel
{
var p:WindowPanel = panelContainer.getChildAt(i) as WindowPanel;
// it sets its size
p.percentHeight = 100;
p.percentWidth = 100 / panelContainer.numChildren;
p.addEventListener(updateComplete,updateCompleteInHorizontal);
// and adds the listener to updateComplete
p.addEventListener(ResizeEvent.RESIZE, resizePanel); //adds a
resize effect to the window
}
}
panelContainer.validateNow();
}
private function updateCompleteInHorizontal(event:Event):void //
called when the new size of the Windows are set.
{
var p:WindowPanel = event.currentTarget as WindowPanel;
moveEffect(p, posX, 0); // moves the panel to its position
posX = posX + p.width; // sets the X position of the next Window.
p.removeEventListener(updateComplete,updateCompleteInHorizontal);

[flexcoders] Re: VerifyError: Error #1025: An invalid register 5 was accessed.
ApplicationServiceSoap is my code - it is the class I quoted a few

[flexcoders] Re: Problem with Webservice Introspection Wizard in FB 3 Beta 2
After searching the bug database, this is already a bug that has
supposedly been fixed, but I guess the fix won't be available until the
next beta release. According to the bug report, if you don't select the
soap1.1 port, the Finish button is supposed to be disabled, but it's
not.
I can live with this until the next release by just making sure I always
select the soap1.1 port in the wizard.

This is a bug in the webservice wizard, right?

The wizard finishes, and I have a nice set of AS classes from the
WSDL.
However, when I try and use any of the classes, I get compile
errors all
over the place.
Apparently, the wizard creates references to custom events in the
main
service class like this:
/**
* Dispatches when a call to the operation GetUserInfoEx
completes with
success
* and returns some data
* @eventType GetUserInfoExSoapOutResultEvent
*/
[Event(name=GetUserInfoExSoapOut_result,
type=GetUserInfoExSoapOutResultEvent)]
/**
* Dispatches when a call to the operation FindUsers completes
with
success
* and returns some data
* @eventType FindUsersSoapOutResultEvent
*/
[Event(name=FindUsersSoapOut_result,
type=FindUsersSoapOutResultEvent)]
But, there no supporting classes for the event types are generated.
So, I
get errors when the main class tries to do stuff like:
/**
* @see IADUtils#addGetUserInfoEx()
*/
public function addgetUserInfoExEventListener
(listener:Function):void
{
addEventListener
(GetUserInfoExSoapOutResultEvent.GetUserInfoExSoapOut_RESULT
,listener);
}
/**
* @private
*/
private function _GetUserInfoEx_populate_results
(event:ResultEvent):void
{
var e:GetUserInfoExSoapOutResultEvent = new
GetUserInfoExSoapOutResultEvent();
e.result = event.result as Object;
getUserInfoEx_lastResult = e.result;
dispatchEvent(e);
}
The addEventListener call and the new
GetUserInfoExSoapOutResultEvent
generate errors because the compiler doesn't know anything about
the custom
event types.
Is this a bug in the wizard, or am I supposed to code those custom
event
classes myself? And, if I'm supposed to code the custom events
myself, are
they just normal result events, or is there some additional code I
don't
know about?
There doesn't seem to be any good documentation (flex docs,
tutorials,
sample code, etc) on how to use the code generated by the wizard.
Does
anyone know of any examples?

[flexcoders] DisplayObjects Layout problem
Hey guys,
I'm working in an application where I need to layout a bunch of panels
called 'windows'. The container of this panels is another panel called
'panelContainer'. I need to layout the windows horizontally,
vertically or absolute, depending of the button pressed byt the user.
Of course I could use the panelContainer.layout property, but I need
to set a move effect for each window, so I analyse the children of the
panelContainer and set the percentWidth and percentHeight and add a
listener for an updateComplete event for each Window. In the
updateCompleteHandler I move the Windows to its new X position with
the move effect, and calculate the X of the next window.
My problem is when I add a new Window to panelContainer. The default
size of a new Window is 400x400. I add the Window to panelContaner
throught panelContainer.addChild(newWindow) and then I call to the
layoutWindows method. The new window should be treated like any other
window, right? This doesn't happen... In the updateCompleteHandler,
the recently added window still has the default size (400x400) instead
of the assigned percentWidth and percentHeight...
Does anyone know why this happen?
I'll post the code for the layoutWindowsHorizontally and the
updateComplete handler...
private function layoutWindowsHorizontally ():void
{
posX = 0; // variable that sets the X position of each
Window.
for (var i:int = 0; i panelContainer.numChildren; i++)
{
if (panelContainer.getChildAt(i) is
WindowPanel) // if a child of
the panelContainer is a WindowPanel
{
var p:WindowPanel =
panelContainer.getChildAt(i) as WindowPanel;
// it sets its size
p.percentHeight = 100;
p.percentWidth = 100 /
panelContainer.numChildren;
p.addEventListener(updateComplete,updateCompleteInHorizontal);
// and adds the listener to updateComplete
p.addEventListener(ResizeEvent.RESIZE,
resizePanel); //adds a
resize effect to the window
}
}
panelContainer.validateNow();
}
private function updateCompleteInHorizontal(event:Event):void //
called when the new size of the Windows are set.
{
var p:WindowPanel = event.currentTarget as WindowPanel;
moveEffect(p, posX, 0);// moves the panel to its
position
posX = posX + p.width; // sets the X position of the
next Window.
p.removeEventListener(updateComplete,updateCompleteInHorizontal);
// removes the listeners.
p.removeEventListener(ResizeEvent.RESIZE, resizePanel);
}
Any help is appreciated... This is driving me crazy...

RE: [flexcoders] Flex is quite flakey (spurious errors!)
Yes, the size has increased, but due to the assets we've embedded the increase isn't too noticeable. I don't think the shared code module is going to be easy to implement because the widgets will be developed by 3rd parties, so if we did that we'd have to add a dependency onto their development.

Right. I don't think it'll fix your resizeEvent prob, but you never know. Now if you look at your main app's swf, it should have grown considerably as it now has a bunch of charting code in it.

I have been trying to solve this issue for days but still couldn't
find the right solution.
I am going to make as simple as I can about the issue.
Here's the situation:
I have this DataGrid
mx:DataGrid id=myDataGrid width=100% height=100%
mx:columns
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=FirstName dataField=fName
itemRenderer=Renderer.NameRenderer/
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=LastName dataField=lName
itemRenderer=Renderer.NameRenderer/
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
===
Now here's the NameRenderer's definition:
mx:HBox width=100% horizontalAlign=left verticalAlign=middle
mx:Script
![CDATA[
override public function set data(value:Object):void {
super.data = value;
if (value != null)
{
myLabel.text = value;
}
]]
/mx:Script
!-- Remember the font size please. It relates to the issue-
-
mx:Label id=myLabel fontSize=14
/mx:HBox
==
Now, the grid displays fine in my flex app. Then I added a
functionality to be able to print the grid using almost exactly the
same like in this example:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/mx/printing/PrintDataGrid.htm
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/mx/printing/PrintDataGrid.htm
l#includeExamplesSummary
with the following exceptions:
- My FormPrintView doesn't have the all of the mx:columns stuffs
in
PrintDataGrid.
- Inside my doPrint() (this is in PrintDataGridExample section)
under
thePrintView.myDataGrid.dataProvider = myDataGrid.dataProvider
statement, I add this:
thePrintView.myDataGrid.columns = myDataGrid.columns;
==
Now when I print it out, everything is working fine and dandy (good
job Flex team!).
Then one day, I was told to do a bit change. The Printouts need
to
be in font-size 8 instead of 14. The grid looks great on the web
using font-size 14 but when it is being printed out, it needs to be
in font-size 8.
So my question is how do you do that?
Just to let you know, these were the things that I try:
- In my FormPrintView, I added this attribute 'fontSize=8'. I
thought that this will take care the problem but it didn't. It
wasn't
overriding myLabel's fontSize.
- Then I do another way using Bindable strategy, this is what I did:
== Create a global variable to store the font size.
GlobalFont.as
package myGlobals
{
[Bindable]
public class GlobalFont
{
public static const DEFAULT_SIZE:int = 14;
public static const PRINT_SIZE:int = 8;
public static var myFontSize:int = DEFAULT_SIZE;
}
}
==Then in NameRenderer, I change myLabel to be like this:
mx:Label id=myLabel fontSize={GlobalFont.myFontSize}
==Then on my doPrint(), I add this before I assign the dataProvider
and columns to thePrintView.myDataGrid:
GlobalFont.myFontSize = GlobalFont.PRINT_SIZE
==Then I do the print.
Result: It prints out with the font-size 8 :) But the Flex app will
show all my grid's column content to be shifted off the column
after
I scroll the grid up/down (you have to have large data that will
have
the vertical scroll bar to appear). You can fix the display again
but
clicking the column's header.
Again I call all Flex Masters to share your wisdom in this matter.
I have been given a deadline to fix this by early next week. So all
ideas/suggestions/anything will help.
Thank you!

RE: [flexcoders] Flex is quite flakey (spurious errors!)
We don't use modules as such - but we do have widgets - which are Flex applications within the main Flex application. One of the widgets is a charting widget. We simply pass some XML data to the widget and it displays it in a chart of the user's choice. One of which is a pie chart. Sporadically the pie chart will crash in the WedgeItemRenderer code.

RE: [flexcoders] how to determine if a component is offscreen in a Canvas?
It might be more important when you do this calculation. Flex is an invalidating framework meaning that when you add children, it invalidates the parent container and it is later that the parent container reacts and puts up scrollbars. I would try catching the updateComplete event and then you should be able to use height and verticalScrollPosition.

The only difference as far as I can see is that a custom parameter is

RE: [flexcoders] Flex is quite flakey (spurious errors!)
Right. I don't think it'll fix your resizeEvent prob, but you never know. Now if you look at your main app's swf, it should have grown considerably as it now has a bunch of charting code in it. If you don't like that, then you have to go to a shared code module.

Re: [flexcoders] Wrapper .svn copies BUG!
My FB rejected 1.0.x. I do have it installed on my Mac version and I find that it kind of sucks, but it's not entirely their fault. I cannot use it for the most part because it seems to do everything based on the root repository and I don't have access to that. I only have access to certain projects in the repository (I'm a consultant and they don't trust me). As a result I find subclipse to be kind of useless, plus it doesn't solve my problem. Part of it also is that I have gotten so used to TortiseSVN that I find the alternatives to be quite lacking. There is nothing worthwhile on the Mac for SVN, I've resorted to the terminal in fact.

I have been trying to solve this issue for days but still
couldn't
find the right solution.
I am going to make as simple as I can about the issue.
Here's the situation:
I have this DataGrid
mx:DataGrid id=myDataGrid width=100% height=100%
mx:columns
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=FirstName dataField=fName
itemRenderer=Renderer.NameRenderer/
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=LastName dataField=lName
itemRenderer=Renderer.NameRenderer/
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
===
Now here's the NameRenderer's definition:
mx:HBox width=100% horizontalAlign=left
verticalAlign=middle
mx:Script
![CDATA[
override public function set data(value:Object):void {
super.data = value;
if (value != null)
{
myLabel.text = value;
}
]]
/mx:Script
!-- Remember the font size please. It relates to the issue-
-
mx:Label id=myLabel fontSize=14
/mx:HBox
==
Now, the grid displays fine in my flex app. Then I added a
functionality to be able to print the grid using almost exactly
the
same like in this example:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/mx/printing/PrintDataGrid.htm
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/mx/printing/PrintDataGrid.ht
m
l#includeExamplesSummary
with the following exceptions:
- My FormPrintView doesn't have the all of the mx:columns
stuffs
in
PrintDataGrid.
- Inside my doPrint() (this is in PrintDataGridExample section)
under
thePrintView.myDataGrid.dataProvider = myDataGrid.dataProvider
statement, I add this:
thePrintView.myDataGrid.columns = myDataGrid.columns;
==
Now when I print it out, everything is working fine and dandy
(good
job Flex team!).
Then one day, I was told to do a bit change. The Printouts need
to
be in font-size 8 instead of 14. The grid looks great on the web
using font-size 14 but when it is being printed out, it needs to
be
in font-size 8.
So my question is how do you do that?
Just to let you know, these were the things that I try:
- In my FormPrintView, I added this attribute 'fontSize=8'. I
thought that this will take care the problem but it didn't. It
wasn't
overriding myLabel's fontSize.
- Then I do another way using Bindable strategy, this is what I
did:
== Create a global variable to store the font size.
GlobalFont.as
package myGlobals
{
[Bindable]
public class GlobalFont
{
public static const DEFAULT_SIZE:int = 14;
public static const PRINT_SIZE:int = 8;
public static var myFontSize:int = DEFAULT_SIZE;
}
}
==Then in NameRenderer, I change myLabel to be like this:
mx:Label id=myLabel fontSize={GlobalFont.myFontSize}
==Then on my doPrint(), I add this before I assign the
dataProvider
and columns to thePrintView.myDataGrid:
GlobalFont.myFontSize = GlobalFont.PRINT_SIZE
==Then I do the print.
Result: It prints out with the font-size 8 :) But the Flex app
will
show all my grid's column content to be shifted off the column
after
I scroll the grid up/down (you have to have large data that will
have
the vertical scroll bar to appear). You can fix the display again
but
clicking the column's header.
Again I call all Flex Masters to share your wisdom in this matter.
I have been given a deadline to fix this by early next week. So
all
ideas/suggestions/anything will help.
Thank you!
[flexcoders] Re: Tree: Removing expand triangle from select nodes
Thanks for your help guys, Adding in a customITreeRenderer seems to
fix the problem. It looks like this..
package
{
import mx.controls.treeClasses.*;
import mx.collections.*;
public class CustomTreeItemRenderer extends TreeItemRenderer
{
// Define the constructor.
public function CustomTreeItemRenderer() {
super();
}
// Override the set method for the data property
// to set the font color and style of each node.
override public function set data(value:Object):void {
super.data = value;
if(super.listData != null){
if(TreeListData(super.listData).hasChildren)
{
setStyle(fontWeight, 'bold');
}
else
{
setStyle(fontWeight, 'normal');
}
}
}
// Override the updateDisplayList() method
// to set the text for each tree node.
override protected function updateDisplayList
(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void {
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
if(super.data)
{
if(TreeListData(super.listData).hasChildren)
{
var tmp:XMLList =
new XMLList(TreeListData
(super.listData).item);
var myStr:int = tmp[0].children().length();
super.label.text = TreeListData
(super.listData).label +

[flexcoders] Re: VerifyError: Error #1025: An invalid register 5 was accessed.
If I comment out the body, I get the same error at the same place. For grins, I also tried renaming the method in case deleteHandler was somehow reserved. Same result. At this point it looks like the ActionScript compiler (or maybe the flash player) reacts differently based on method order, but I haven't seen anything that required ActionScript methods to be declared in any particular order. BTW, I tried this on another computer to rule out my particular Flex and Flash software, and got the same results on the other computer as well. Could there be a bug in the compiler?

RE: [flexcoders] Convert ByteArray to Bitmap
Yes, that would be nice!
For what I've been doing a synchronous
convertToBitmapData(bytes:ByteArray):BitmapData would be really nice
as well.
If only because using a loader seems a bit wrong when you've already
loaded (or otherwise have) a byteArray.
I have to admit that I've not actually checked the source code to see if
I could find/copy that kind of function, however, since I do now have
everything working with loader.
Thanks Alex!
Jim.

Re: [flexcoders] Maximum Image Width able to be displayed
Wow that's sort of not cool but great to hear I am not losing my mind. Thanks!
:) So what I am doing is basically loading a 15Kpx wide gif or jpg image and
using it as a film strip. (Legacy data format that I can't really change) And I
am trying to render subsections of that image by sliding it through a viewable
region. So what it seems is going on is that it renders the image, clips it,
and then displays the visible region and applies a mask over the rest. However
the render fails so the rest of the steps are just wasted cycles. I have a fix
to just chop the image in half prior to loading it.. But since I am not the
only one with this problem, I was wondering if there are known strategies I
don't know of to get around this feature.
Also to help your page out a little more. I think when embedding the image into
the swf fails at a smaller width for some reason. Loading it at runtime from an
external source seems to allow larger files. No scaling is going on.

The 8191px limit has been confirmed. The 2880 limit is on
instantiating BitmapData objects, but the player allows for the existence of
BitmapData objects larger than 2880. So if you can get the player to create a
BitmapData object for you that is larger than 2880 then you're in the clear.
I'm keeping a running list of known limitations here: http://nondocs. blogspot.

RE: [flexcoders] Convert ByteArray to Bitmap
After reading some previous posts, it appears that the best way to convert a
byte array into a Bitmap is though the loader class...
In my debugging it fails silently, but I get the follow message when I try to
look into the vars (Error: Error #2099: The loading object is not
sufficiently loaded to provide this information.) Also the content
property is null even though the bytes are fully loaded.
Is there another better way to do this. I have been struggling with this all
day.
Thanks, Kevin
Hi Kevin, I feel your pain! Having been through this one before ...
It doesn't work quite as one (well, myself in any case) would expect on first
look.
Even when feeding in an already complete byteArray, you still have to listen
for the load Complete event.
Up until that event, loader.content remains null.
_jpgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,jpgCompleteHandler);
try something like this (it could do with an IoError event listener as
well,perhaps?) :
private var _ldr:Loader
private function myTest():void{
//get ByteArray from Image Component content
var testBM:Bitmap = testImg.content as Bitmap;
var myByte:ByteArray = new
JPEGEncoder().encode(testBM.bitmapData);
//convert ByteArray to Bitmap
_ldr = new Loader();
_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,bitmapLoaded);
_ldr.loadBytes(myByte);
}
private function bitmapLoaded(event:Event)
{
_ldr.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,bitmapLoaded)
//reset source
myImage.source = _ldr.content;
}
(Personally I like to keep a permanent reference to the loader, rather than
casting it from the event.target)
Alex, I think it does work as it's meant to, but I would really like to have a
means to do the same byteArray bitmapData conversion synchronously without
the listener.
If anyone can help with that, then please let me know!
Also, I did have some difficulty with the docs in this respect, a small sample
like the above would help greatly imho.
Jim.

RE: [flexcoders] Cannot convert Event to ResizeEvent
Hmm, there are no resize listeners on the system manager. There are a couple listening on the stage, but they all expect an event:Event parameter.

[flexcoders] setChildIndex issue
Hey guys...
I'm working in a application were I need to let the user set the order
of 3 panels using drag and drop. These panels are inside a container.
The children of the container are another container that I don't need
to do any of this (always in the position 0 of the children array) and
the 3 panels to be dragged. The user should be able to drag a panel
and drop it in the position he wants it to be, and the other panels
should reorder. For example, if the user takes the first panel and
wants to put it in the middle of the 3 panels, the second panel should
take the place of the first panel and the dragged panel should be in
the middle (position 2).
To do this I have a handler to the drop of the panel, and I calculate
its new position through the y's of the panels. Once I have the new
position I setChildIndex of the panel. Sometimes it works, sometimes
it doesn't. When I put a panel in the middle of the bunch
(panel.parent.setChildIndex(panel, 2)) it swaps the panels of the
position 1 and 3. This should happen, because I dont set any other
childIndex. For example, if a have A B and C in that order, and I want
to put A in the middle it should be B A C, but it stays like this: C A
B. It shouldn't switch B and C. Does anyone know why this happen?
Here is the code for panel drop:
private function panelDrop (event:FlexEvent):void
{
var menu:MyPanel = event.currentTarget as
MyPanel; // panel that
is being dropped.
var position:int = 1; // it is initialized in
1, because in 0
there is no panel.
for (var i:int = 0; i
pnl_container.numChildren; i++) // finds
the new position of the dropped panel.
{
if (this.pnl_container.getChildren()[i]
is MyPanel) // gets the
child at i
{
var obj:MyPanel =
pnl_container.getChildAt(i) as MyPanel; //
child at i
if ( menu.y obj.y ) // if the
y of the dropped menu is bigger
than the child at position i, the position of the new panel is one lower.
{
position++;
}
}
}
menu.parent.setChildIndex(menu,position); // it
sets the new
position of the panel. I believe the problem is here. The problem is
not searching the position, I have debugged and that is ok.
}
Thanx a lot guys =D
[flexcoders] Re: FDS ManualSync and AS [Managed] Metadata
I have some questions about manual sync with LCDS 2.5.1. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Jeff Vroom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: One other difference is that the refresh fill process - i.e. where the server refreshes fill methods after an insert or update or explicit refreshFill call is made on the server does not work with manual sync. Since the server has no knowledge of what fills each client is actively managing and does not cache its current set of ids, it can't refresh it. But the assembler doesn't know what fills are active, either. Or am I missing something? The assembler can keep track of a client's initial use of a fill (by saving the fillParams argument to the assembler's fill method), but can the assembler get notification when the fill is no longer being used (e.g., when the client goes away)? You can still update queries by using the DataServiceTransaction.addItemToFill and removeItemFromFill methods. In my experimentation, you have to call addItemToFill and removeItemFromFill with the *exact* fill parameters (unlike the matching that is done by refreshFill). Hence the need to keep track of which fills are active. Also, in my experimentation, the client only seems to get the collection-change event if the addItemToFill call has position=-1. Is that expected? In my application, the fills have a sort value, meaning that the new item could be in different positions in different fills anyway, so what I think the client should do is to just start the fill over again when an item is created. How would the assembler notify the client that it should do that? (That is, how do I get something similar to a refreshFill method returning EXECUTE_FILL in the auto-sync case?) Of course the other server side methods updateItem, createItem, and deleteItem also still work though make sure that any use of these apis also supply the producerSubtopics or producerDefaultHeaders needed to route these changes to the right clients. What exactly are createItem and deleteItem good for in the manual-sync case? They're not pushing anything to the clients. thanks/jeff

[flexcoders] Re: VerifyError: Error #1025: An invalid register 5 was accessed.
deleteApplicationCallback is injected by the user of the service, but my hunch is that it isn't a problem because the deleteHandler never gets called. The verify error appears to be happening when Flex is trying to make the call to the deleteHandler - if I put a breakpoint inside the function, it never gets reached. Now here is where things get a little weird: If I take the deleteHandler function and move it up in my file, everything works. I changed no other code, I just reorded the methods. I can't think of any reason why the method order should make a difference, but in my code, it does. Anyone have any ideas?

[flexcoders] Maximum Image Width able to be displayed
Hi, I have been trying to figure out a way around this for a few weeks. It seems there is an undocumented limit of around 8192 px wide images that can be rendered inside of the flash player. Is this an undocumented limitation or is there a way to get around it? Basically the player just renders a blank image. I cropped the image and it loads fine, but as soon as I expand it past 8000px it dies. I apologize if this is an elementary style question however, at this point I am completely stumped. Please help -Greg
Re: [flexcoders] Maximum Image Width able to be displayed
The 8191px limit has been confirmed. The 2880 limit is on instantiating BitmapData objects, but the player allows for the existence of BitmapData objects larger than 2880. So if you can get the player to create a BitmapData object for you that is larger than 2880 then you're in the clear.

Then wonder how modified that Player version was... Quake is available open source. Why in the world would you want to put it in AS3 – aside from absolute coolness factor? We have to remember target audiences here. Gamers expect cool ass graphics and high framerates. Even with hardware acceleration, you can't fine tune memory management and eek out as many CPU cycles as you can to get the best playback. Try getting the PhysX libraries to run at a decent rate in an interpreted language To me, it means more libraries are available for use to AS3 (or 4) developers. Those libraries are already there and we can already use them. We just have to port it by hand. Just like the PNG and JPG encoder were ported by Tinic. Took a bit of thinking I'm sure, but it works. The absolutely cool factor is the amazing speed at which they demonstrated code being ported over, questions about implementation notwithstanding. The technology is highly cool, no doubt. I'd just keep focus on what it really means at this present time - a faster way to get more code into Flash.

Subject: [flexcoders] Tree: Removing expand triangle from

Hello,
I'm building a scripting reference app that is populated from
an
XML
file. The structure is something like this.
groupOfAssociatedClasses name=name of container
class name=className
property name=propertyName
typetheType/type
/property
method name=methodName
inputTypetype/inputType
returnValuevalue/returnValue
/method
/class
class name=className
property name=propertyName
typetheType/type
/property
method name=methodName
inputTypetype/inputType
returnValuevalue/returnValue
/method
/class
/groupOfAssociatedClasses
groupOfAssociatedClasses name=name of container
class name=className
property name=propertyName
typetheType/type
/property
method name=methodName
inputTypetype/inputType
returnValuevalue/returnValue
/method
/class
/groupOfAssociatedClasses
I created a tree discriptor to filter out all the children on
each
class so it doesn't display them in the tree. All I want to
see
in
the tree is the names of the containers and the names of the
classes.
[flexcoders] moving a LinkBar
I have a LinkBar that I need to move from the bottom of the screen to the top of the screen when the user clicks on one of the items in the LinkBar. Then once it gets to where it's going, disable the move effect so that it doesn't get repeated when the user clicks another item in the same LinkBar. Thanks, Ric
[flexcoders] how to refer to Flex components in ActionScript?
There is a section of the Flex 2 Developer's Guide (- Using Flex Programming Language - Using ActionScript - Working with Flex components - Referring to Flex components ) that talks about referring to flex components via the id of that component. The example given uses inline script, but it states : The IDs for all tags in an MXML component, no matter how deeply nested they are, generate public variables of the component being defined. As a result, all id properties must be unique within a document. This also means that if you specified an ID for a component instance, you can access that component from anywhere in the application: from functions, external class files, imported ActionScript files, or inline scripts. I cannot get this to work with an external AS file/class. I have created external ActionScript files which define classes which I import in my main application .mxml script section. For example, I have a TextArea component in my .mxml file with an id='messageLog'. I have a business object defined in an external AS file, which is imported in the inline SCRIPT section of the same .mxml file. Yes, the AS files are in the source path and resolve fine. Based on the Developer's Guide, within that object I should be able to do something like 'messageLog.text = my message;'. I've even tried having a TextArea var within the business object, and trying to set that reference with Application.appliction.getChildByName(messageLog), but that returns null as well. What am I missing? Is it a scope or namespace issue? The way I'm getting around it now is using set methods in the SCRIPT section to pass the Flex components into the AS classes (many of which are singletons, but that's another issue), but that seems like a hack, or at least not any kind of best practice. Thanks
Re: [flexcoders] how to refer to Flex components in ActionScript?
Brian -
If you have your components nested within other components (like a VBox,
HBox, etc.) then I believe you would have to get to them through their
parent. For example:
myview.mxml
mx:Panel id=myTopPanel
mx:TextField id=myTextField
...
myview.as
{
...
var myTextField:TextField = myTopPanel.myTextField;
...
}

[flexcoders] conflicts resolution for flex data service and hibernate
I have two classes, Survey and Question. Both of them have version attribute. Class Survey reference a collection of Question. When I add new Question object into the collection reference in Survey, then I commit. e.g. surveyServiceervice.fill(surveys, survey.all, []); var survey:Survey = surveys.getItemAt(0); var question:Question = new Question(); survey.questions.addItem(question); surveyService.commit([survey], true); in my database, I see the new question object persisted, with foreign key pointing to the survey. I also see the question has a version number of 1. Here is my headache: all the other question objects in the survey.questions have their version number increase by 1. But they are not reflected in the client (browser) side. This makes all my client side data obsolete. I wonder whether this is the supposed behavior of hibernateflex? if not, what configuration attributes I need to take care of? Thanks a lot! York
RE: [flexcoders] AMFPHP Flex 3 Beta
Well I've exposed a dump of the actionscript object easily enough that's
being returned and the object in PHP is just a result from a MySQL query.
I can get at the data currently, but if you notice down below, there aren't
any named references for the columns, which make it nearly impossible to
using bindings.
public function getProjects():void
{
amfConnection.call( Something.getProjects, new
Responder(getProjectsOnResult, OnFault), userInfo.uid);
}
public function getProjectsOnResult( result:Object ) : void
{
var projectDP:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();

var name:String = result.serverInfo.initialData[i][3];
var pid:String = result.serverInfo.initialData[i][0];
projectDP.addItem({name:name, pid:pid});
}
projects.labelField = name;
projects.dataProvider = projectDP;
}
The old phrase of If it ain't broke, don't fix it comes to mind when I see
whats being returned ala AMF3. Any suggestions you can make would be greatly
appreciated.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] AMFPHP Flex 3 Beta
We use Fluorine and NetConnection directly.. much smaller than using the mx
rpc classes and is more future proof since NetConnection is built into the
player and won't change whereas rpc classes don't even have source available
and have a history of breaking stuff in hotfixes with 3rd party AMF
implementations.
I don't think any of the proper wrappers of NetConnection provide data
reformatting for AMF--that's provided by the player. With Fluorine we
certainly don't see things coming back ugly or restructured. So perhaps the
better quest to ask is to show a dump of the data in PHP and then in AS3 and
ask for how to get it to what you want (stating what you want of course).

Hey all,
I've seen all kinds of posts and suggestions from people online suggesting
various ways to connect to an AMFPHP service, but I want to do it the

What's the best way and can someone provide an example of using this method

ah, that's the format the old Flash Recordset class used so it makes sense
that AMFPHP would use the same format. Fluorine provides support for both
that style and for ArrayCollection of Object instances which is more Flex
friendly. My suggestion would be to create a Recordset implementation and
use that as a wrapper. You can look at the Recordset.as file included with
Flash 8 remoting for hints on how it's done. I'm actually surprised nobody

RE: [flexcoders] Aha... did someone say C/C++ to AS3???
The demo was on a custom Flash Player but my understanding of the only real change is that he made some performance improvements in our ByteArray class (that we can hopefully incorporate into a future release). As part of the demo I believe the sound was not actually coming out of the Player, but the graphics all were. This was definitely a research project, we'll see what happens in the future but there's no immediate release plans.

Although it was primarily running in the Player, it's likely that the actual rendering was done using low-level within a modified version of the Player. An interpreted language is just not fast enough, and there is no way the current Player version couldn't approach a 30fps playback speed with the graphics of Quake. Something has to give somewhere. Details are not plentiful enough to fully evaluate the approach. - is this real? To some extent, it sure is. Pre-processing C into other languages has been around a long time. This is the first time a lot of people have seen this approach because they don't come from a traditional software dev. background. - when should we expect this to hit the street, if ever ( we need to get prepared ya know... ) It's RD tech. I don't think this is to be expected anytime soon, but I could be wrong about that. - hmm what happens with licenses... can we just port EVERY open source c/cpp interpreter, codec, lib, etc to as3? Licenses? This is kinda moot. It's the possibility of porting C to AS3, not whether or not it's legal. Could you port over mp3 codecs? Sure you probably could, but you'd have to pay dearly. damn. this is one of those things that make me question everything about everything. It just changes the rules of the game completely. It is too good to be true, and at the same time too bad... i'm confused. Remove the coolness factor for one moment of being able to see Quake run in the Flash Player. Then wonder how modified that Player version was... Quake is available open source. Why in the world would you want to put it in AS3 - aside from absolute coolness factor? We have to remember target audiences here. Gamers expect cool ass graphics and high framerates. Even with hardware acceleration, you can't fine tune memory management and eek out as many CPU cycles as you can to get the best playback. Try getting the PhysX libraries to run at a decent rate in an interpreted language To me, it means more libraries are available for use to AS3 (or 4) developers. Those libraries are already there and we can already use them. We just have to port it by hand. Just like the PNG and JPG encoder were ported by Tinic. Took a bit of thinking I'm sure, but it works. The absolutely cool factor is the amazing speed at which they demonstrated code being ported over, questions about implementation notwithstanding. The technology is highly cool, no doubt. I'd just keep focus on what it really means at this present time - a faster way to get more code into Flash. Heck, I'm excited because I might be able to resurrect some pretty complex projects - complex for me, 8 or so years ago - that were built in Codewarrior. :) cheers, jon

[flexcoders] Function to generate TitleWindows
Hi there,
I have this simple function that is used in my application to generate a
TitleWindow.
private function loadAddCustomerForm():void {
var form:addCustomer=addCustomer(PopUpManager.createPopUp( this,
addCustomer , true));
var dx:Number = (mainPanel.width - form.width)/2;
var dy:Number = (mainPanel.height - form.height)/2;
form.x=dx;
form.y=dy;
}
This works perfect but I want to alter this so that I can use the same
function to generate similar forms. i.e. I don't want to declare this
function for every single form that I want to create. All I want is to pass
a parameter, let's say loadForm('addCustomer'), which will do exactly the
same thing as the above, but also assign the name 'addCustomer' into the
form.
Any help ? :-)
Thanks,
George

[flexcoders] disable buttons with icons
Hi there,
I have a form with a 'Save' button. I have also placed an icon with this
button using the 'icon='/assets/save.gif' attribute. By default I have this
button disabled and I enable it only when validation returns success. This
works great!
However, I have noticed that although the button is disabled, the icon does
not look like disabled :-(
For that I have designed a disabled button, and I am now trying to change
the icon (programmatically) when the validation succeeds.
This is my function that enables/disabled the button:
private function handleValid(eventObj:ValidationResultEvent):void {
if(eventObj.type==ValidationResultEvent.VALID) {
saveButton.enabled = true;
}
else
saveButton.enabled = false;
}
I have tried to add a new property, like saveButton.icon =
'/assets/enabled_button.gif'; so that my icon looks enabled/disabled
according to the button status. However this attribute does not really exist
:-( Is there any way to overcome this problem?
thanks,
George
Re: [flexcoders] Convert ByteArray to Bitmap
Thanks for all your help on this. To answer your question Alex, no
we are not using JPEGEncoder in our app, that was just to do a test
that could easily get us the ByteArray data that we know is a valid
image.
I will try the listener approach. I guess I thought that wouldn't be
needed since the data is already loaded.
Regardless, to get it working in the meantime we sent everything
thing back from the server as base64 encoded. We then used a
Base64Image class (which extends Image) to display the image.
http://flexlib.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/flexlib/controls/
Base64Image.as
(You will see it uses the same approach as yours to load the ByteArray)
It works very well and makes me think that it could be a model for
extending the Image component to receive a ByteArray as a source. It
really should be that easy!
Thanks for your thoughts.

For what I’ve been doing a synchronous “convertToBitmapData

If only because using a “loader” seems a bit “wrong” when you’ve
already loaded (or otherwise have) a byteArray.
I have to admit that I’ve not actually checked the source code to
see if I could find/copy that kind of function, however, since I do
now have everything working with loader.

[flexcoders] Stream upload directly back to server
Since it is not possible to upload data directly into the client without going through a server, I am wondering if it would be possible to have our servlet directly stream the data back to Flex and grab it with the UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA event. On the Java end we are trying something like this: //FileItem item; InputStream in = item.getInputStream(); OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream(); out.flush(); We can get small text examples to work, but seem to have trouble when the data is an image or larger file. Images will work if we Base64 encode them, but they also break if the file size is too large. This may be because it just won't work. However, I am assuming someone else has tried this and I would love to know if there is a way to get it to work. We would prefer not to have to go through the process of saving a bunch of temporary files on the server only to simply send them back with a second call. Thanks, Kevin
RE: [flexcoders] Convert ByteArray to Bitmap
Please file a bug at bugs.adobe.com/jira so we can see if we can
squeeze loadBytes onto SWFLoader before 3.0 closes down.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Convert ByteArray to Bitmap
Thanks for all your help on this. To answer your question Alex, no we
are not using JPEGEncoder in our app, that was just to do a test that
could easily get us the ByteArray data that we know is a valid image.
I will try the listener approach. I guess I thought that wouldn't be
needed since the data is already loaded.
Regardless, to get it working in the meantime we sent everything thing
back from the server as base64 encoded. We then used a Base64Image
class (which extends Image) to display the image.
http://flexlib.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/flexlib/controls/Base64Image
.as
http://flexlib.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/flexlib/controls/Base64Imag
e.as
(You will see it uses the same approach as yours to load the ByteArray)
It works very well and makes me think that it could be a model for
extending the Image component to receive a ByteArray as a source. It
really should be that easy!
Thanks for your thoughts.

Yes, that would be nice!
For what I've been doing a synchronous
convertToBitmapData(bytes:ByteArray):BitmapData would be really nice
as well.
If only because using a loader seems a bit wrong when you've already
loaded (or otherwise have) a byteArray.
I have to admit that I've not actually checked the source code to see if
I could find/copy that kind of function, however, since I do now have
everything working with loader.
Thanks Alex!
Jim.

Yeah, things are working, but really there should be a loadBytes() API
on mx:Image/SWFLoader to save you a step.

Oops, sorry, this one makes slightly more sense (first thing in the

private var _ldr:Loader

RE: [flexcoders] disable buttons with icons

Subject: [flexcoders] disable buttons with icons
Hi there,
I have a form with a 'Save' button. I have also placed an icon with this
button using the 'icon='/assets/save.gif' attribute. By default I have
this button disabled and I enable it only when validation returns
success. This works great!
However, I have noticed that although the button is disabled, the icon
does not look like disabled :-(
For that I have designed a disabled button, and I am now trying to
change the icon (programmatically) when the validation succeeds.
This is my function that enables/disabled the button:
private function handleValid(eventObj:ValidationResultEvent):void {
if(eventObj.type==ValidationResultEvent.VALID) {
saveButton.enabled = true;
}
else
saveButton.enabled = false;
}
I have tried to add a new property, like saveButton.icon =
'/assets/enabled_button.gif'; so that my icon looks enabled/disabled
according to the button status. However this attribute does not really
exist :-( Is there any way to overcome this problem?
thanks,
George
RE: [flexcoders] moving a LinkBar
Use a boolean flag to track whether the LinkBar has already received its
first click (in which case play the move effect) or not.
private var clickedOnce:Boolean = false;
private function handleClick(event:ItemClickEvent):void
{
if (!clickedOnce)
{
//play the move effect, this is the first click
clickedOnce = true;
}
else
//no move effect - these are subsequent clicks
}
You can control when you want that specific effect to play by
controlling the value of the flag.

Subject: [flexcoders] moving a LinkBar
I have a LinkBar that I need to move from the bottom of the screen to
the top of the screen when the user clicks on one of the items in the
LinkBar. Then once it gets to where it's going, disable the move
effect so that it doesn't get repeated when the user clicks another
item in the same LinkBar.

Re: [flexcoders] Aha... did someone say C/C++ to AS3???
Jon, Well, I am leaving the cool factor away, but it is still cool. Honestly, I don't really care about porting quake or any other super pop tech... neither sound nor graphics rendering software. Porting the ranking system of a bw version of pacman is already scary enough! As you point out, having access to a tool ( or even just a cheap methodology ) for porting c/cpp code opens a new world of possibilities, and drastically changes the rules of the game. Basically, it is now business to create a library and become the first to have it in AS3... probably not an evident niche to the rest of us because AIR has not hit the streets yet, but I can bet more than one company is doing something in those lines. Take the very same Adobe and their Flex IDE as a cannonical example... how long would it be, after the release of such piece of machinery, before someone ports a compiler generator et al and gives something like FLEXible a final push to completion. Or someone creates a solid migration tool from another UI technology with established IDEs to Flash? Of course you might argue that the flex framework is unparalleled with binding, repeaters, events, effects, etc. ... but isn't it opensource already? and with respect to other technologies, now that the ideas are on the table, it's just a matter of playing catch up... which will be quite fast given that, as Scott Peterson emphasizes, we can even port interpreters for other languages. And what about LCS?? It might not have a contender right off the shelf but, hey, having the ability to port libraries puts me much much closer. And closer to building something better! Or even something that runs with MS technology in the backend. Of course this would definitely lean the balance against silverlight and other contenders in terms of developer adoption, but at what cost. If part of the player is OS ( correct me is im wrong ), the framework is OS, and now we can port code and run it in Flash... what's left for Adobe to profit from? Perhaps acrobat...? or Media Server? ( oh.. red5 ). So, wrapping up, I think this announcement deserves a LOT more attention that what it's had. They somehow opened Pandora's box with that short demo. I just don't see a clear business strategy behind the move. I might be missing very important point but with my current understanding this scares me a bit... quite a bit to be honest. After all, some of us are betting on the sustainability of this platform. To a certain degree, Adobe might be shooting themselves in the foot with this one. I am very interested to hear some informed opinions.

Now all that remains if for you guys to post up that converted AS3 code for peer review.

[flexcoders] Repeaters and ListCollectionViews
Is it possible to use a ListCollectionView as the dataProvider for a Repeater? I think the answer is no because I can't get it to work, but I wanted to make sure that it is not just me writing buggy code. Thanks Simon
