[flexcoders] Editable data in data grid too easily edited
IMO it is too easy to get into edit mode on an editable DataGrid or AdvancedDataGrid. For instance, if I am just selecting a row that was not previously selected it would be great if it did not invoke the editor until I clicked in the editable column again. This is particularly problematic in the AdvancedDataGrid if the first column (tree column) is editable. In this case even expanding/contracting the tree node puts the user into edit mode on the data in the first column of that row. I am guessing that I would need to extend DataGrid, AdvancedDataGrid and possibly also provide a custom itemEditor to resolve this issue. But wanted to hear if others had suggestions for the cleanest solution. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Scott -- Scott Melby Founder, Fast Lane Software LLC http://www.fastlanesw.com
[flexcoders] How to scale containers?
Hi, I have a custom container which is based on the Canvas control. It just displays other custom controls that are also based on Canvas. If I wanted to do a thumbnail preview of the main container, how do I go about scaling everything? For instance, if the main container displays at 800x600, how can I scale it down into a control 80x60? (I'm assuming there is something built in to flex to do most of this without manually writing scaling code?) Thanks, Mark
Re: [flexcoders] Editable data in data grid too easily edited
Absolutely! I'd take it a step farther and suggest it'd be better to have the first click should highlight a given row even if clicking on an editable field. Will be interested in seeing how your resolve your objective.

[flexcoders] Disappearing content/Platform Differences...
I have been developing on an XP SP2 box and a Macbook, bouncing back and forth. Tonight I started having a problem where a remoting call was throwing an error on the PC but the Mac was fine. So I decided to grab my wife's laptop and see how the app did on hers. I was shocked and saddened to see that some functionality that works fine on the other two machines goes bad on hers. Specifically, content that I do a startDrag() on seemed to disappear. I have no idea what is going on, but in order to sleep tonight, I wanted to ask... a) Is this common in Flash land? I picked this platform because I thought I'd be able to avoid this. b) When you run into cases like this, what do you do? First thing that came to mind was to do a remote debugging session off of her computer. FWIW, her machine is a Dell Inspiron 640m. I tried updating the Intel gfx drivers, but no luck. Any insight would be great.

[flexcoders] My first post here - styling the TabBar rollover colors
Hello all! I'm styling the flex TabBar using Adobe flex explorer, and facing a very annoying problem while trying to set the rollOver color of the tabs. At first place I thought I could set the rollover color using the tabStyleName's fillColors style, but this style can only get 2 colors that determines the default bg color, unlike the ButtonBar, whose fillColors can get 4 colors where the last 2 determines the rollover colors. Since TabBar extends ButtonBar, I thought that instead of using the .tabStyleName I could use the buttonStyleName , in which I can define rollover colors with the fillColors style which receives 4 colors, where the last two, determines the rollover color, as the buttonStyleName has no effect on the tabs. This is a link to a demo project that illustrates the problem: http://files-upload.com/files/616415/TabsRolloverColor.rar I will be very glad to get some ideas to get around this. Thanks a lot, Almog.
[flexcoders] Re: Can't select an item renderer in a list
Hi,
When a drag-n-drop operation is made, the data setter is not fired,
rather the data changeEvent.
I think that the problem is with your itemRenderer - you have
overriden the data setter but you didn't add an event listener for
dataChange events.
Try to add a Flex.DataChangeEvent listener that does exactly what
the setter does.
Hope it helps

var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.applicationDomain= ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;

}
private function assetLoaded(eventEvent:Event):void {
return assetEvent.target as LoaderInfo
}
.. then from the calling class..
my_app = app_loader.assetInfo(appString).content;
doing something like trace(describeType(appWin).toString()); reveals
that my public variables are not available from the mxml swf, but
available fine if I use this on a regular as3 swf, ive tried
my_app.application[test_property] .. etc
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
[flexcoders] Re: Can't select an item renderer in a list
Hello,
Nope that's not it...
As I said, if you remove all the calls to the sub class Highlighter
(by commenting the data setter
( override public function set data(value:Object):void )
and removing the CompleteEventHandler
( private function SentenceRendererCreationCompleteEventHandler
():void )
then everything will work fine. (Aka you will be able to do drag
drop and then select any item in the list etc.)
So the problem lies in the sub class _Highlighter.
Once again my theory is that since this class is totally custom my
guess is that there is an Interface that it should implements as a sub
component of a renderer...
thanx !

The trouble is, when I view my container, it is now 50x50.

[flexcoders] Overriding inherited skin style
Hi there
I have a global Panel style defined, which contains a border-skin swf.
I want to be able to turn this off for specific panels. There seems to
be no explicit way to turn this off (Eg. boder-skin:none) the only
way I have managed so far is to reference a transparent / blank swf as
the skin. The problem with this though is background colour is then
ignored I get a transparent panel, which I cannot really style.
Another alternative is to create the global panel style as a styleName
reference it in each component in question. But there are more

[flexcoders] Flex Localization Support
Hello All, I want to support Arabic content in my application. That is the client can choose whether he want to view the content of my applicaiton in Arabic or English at runtime. Can anyone tell me how can I change the content of Flex application at runtime? Also, do I need to create separate SWF files for English and Arabic content? When the user selects to view the application in Arabic, the application layout should change from Left-To-Right to Right-To-Left. In .NET and HTML, there is inherent support for this. In .NET all UI controls have RightToLeft property. In HTML we can set the direction attribute to rtl for Right-To-Left. Can anyone tell me whether Flex supports this inherently or not?

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Localization Support
Flash doesn't support RTL (the next version will, but also remember that even when Flash is updated, if you're using Flex you'll need to wait for a corresponding Flex framework update as well). There have been some experiments with hacks in Flash but I haven't seen anything yet in Flex.

Hi there
I have a global Panel style defined, which contains a border-skin swf.
I want to be able to turn this off for specific panels. There seems to
be no explicit way to turn this off (Eg. boder-skin:none) the only
way I have managed so far is to reference a transparent / blank swf as
the skin. The problem with this though is background colour is then
ignored I get a transparent panel, which I cannot really style.
Another alternative is to create the global panel style as a styleName
reference it in each component in question. But there are more
components using this style than not, so it makes more sense to switch
it off for special cases.
Here's the code:
Panel {
borderSkin: Embed(source=flex_skins.swf, symbol=Panel_borderSkin);
}
CustomPanel {
borderSkin: Embed(source=empty.swf,
symbol=Panel_titleBackgroundSkin);

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Can't select an item renderer in a list
There are no additional interfaces, but as my blog points out, your
renderer must be completely data-driven and get its visual state from
calls to isItemSelected/Highlighted as renderers are recycled so the
cannot retain state

Humble excuse Alex,
but you are not answering my question / problem.
I have no problem with my highlight / selection showing...
My problem is that if I do drag drop operation and if I change the
Data Provider then sometimes I can no longer select some items even
tho they are showing...
I have found out that if I remove my Highlighter class from my
renderer then everything will work out fine (I can drag drop and
then select any / every items in the list).
So I was wondering if it is because my Highlighter class isn't
implementing some Interface that are necessary for a sub component of
a Renderer...
Thanx !

If you handle change events mousedown/up you might know when to cancel itemEditBeginning From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Melby Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2007 4:36 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Editable data in data grid too easily edited IMO it is too easy to get into edit mode on an editable DataGrid or AdvancedDataGrid. For instance, if I am just selecting a row that was not previously selected it would be great if it did not invoke the editor until I clicked in the editable column again. This is particularly problematic in the AdvancedDataGrid if the first column (tree column) is editable. In this case even expanding/contracting the tree node puts the user into edit mode on the data in the first column of that row. I am guessing that I would need to extend DataGrid, AdvancedDataGrid and possibly also provide a custom itemEditor to resolve this issue. But wanted to hear if others had suggestions for the cleanest solution. Any help is appreciated.

[flexcoders] Connecting to flash display from html code and extracting params
Hello Folks, Having heard a lot about it I am just trying out using Flex/Flash on a web app and have run into a problem. I am playing a video in Flash and when I click an html button (GetElapsedTime) on different part of the page, outside of Flash window, I want to go to Flash playing the video and find out the elapsed time of video played. So if I have played 3 minutes and 59 seconds of video I want to get that. I have browsed around the Flex tutorials and newsgroups, looked in ActionScript but from what I understand all those actions are for events going out of Flex - apologies if I am mixing up the terminology between Flex and Flash here. I can't find a way to connect to the flash player and get the elapsed time. Perhaps I am not looking at it the right way. It sounds like when I click the button GetElapsedTime it has to fire some JavaScript that should somehow connect to the Flash player and extract the elapsed time out of it. Any thoughts on how to do that will be helpful. TIA, Sanjay.

Re: [flexcoders] internet Explorer 7 cache problem
Hello,
It's the cache-control headers on the response from the server that
determine whether or not the browser caches the XML.
You can set them programatically or by configuring your web server to
add the headers to the response it sends back to the Flex
application. Exactly what you need to do will depend on your choice
of web server and server side programming environment.

[flexcoders] Re: DataGrid not populating from WebService, error: Unknown Property
I started a new thread to continue this issue because I had gotten
past the 'Unknown Property' error with the handlers. I wanted the new
thread to be more specific to the problem, which has evolved into
DataGrid not populating from XMLListCollection and namespace issues.
Here's the new thread:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/93492
The 'OrdMedList' node is there in the original post. But a quick
answer to your question, here's what the structure looks like, w/out
the namespaces:
OrdMedList
OrdMed
id5/id
desctylenol/desc
/OrdMed
OrdMed
id97/id
descadvil/desc
/OrdMed
...
/OrdMedList
This is the output of the trace() on my XMLListCollection. I also
implemented a labelFunction to try to deal with the namespace issue,
and found a weird result: there are 10 OrdMed nodes in my list, but
the length of OrdMedList is 1 and the labelFunction is invoked 4
times, 2 each for id and desc.

RE: [flexcoders] Want to call a function from custom component on button click...
You need to traverse the run-time DOM to access members in different
component scopes.
Se the notes below.
Tracy
Communicating between Components:
Note: for loose coupling use events. But that is another topic.
A non-trivial flex application is component based. While all of the
built in controls are components, the question of communicating between
components really only arises when you are using a custom component. A
custom component, whether implemented in mxml or ActionScript, has its
own scope. Within that component (Application is a component too!),
all sibling child controls share the same scope, so you can refer to
controls by their id. If the controls(components) have public
properties or methods, you can refernce those members directly through
the id:
mx:TextInput id=textinput1 text=test value .../
mx:Text id=text1 ... text={textinput1.text} .../
Ok, so far, its a duh right?
When you use custom components in a Flex app, at run time they make a
document object model hierarchy (DOM). Each subcomponent has its own
scope and can't *directly* reference the member properties or methods of
its sibling subcomponents.
So again, within a component, you can refernce siblings directly, as in
the example above. But there are two other cases inherent in a
hierarchy. You might want to reference up, to get to public members
of the parent, or 'down, to get to public members of some child.
Accessing members in the parent:
On an ordinary component DOM, you can reference the parent component
using the .parent property. Say that a control with id=textinput1
exists in the parent of the current component. then you could do:
mx:Text id=text1 ... text={parent.textinput1.text}
.../
Accessing members in the main application:
Components can be nested, sometimes very deeply. If the reference you
want is all the way at the top-level, main application (the one with the
mx:Application tag), you could do
{parent.parent.parent.textinput1.text}, but you would have to count the
component levels just right. Instead, you can use
Application.application to get to that scope:
mx:Text id=text1 ...
text={Application.application.textinput1.text} .../
You can shoretn this style of reference by importing
mx.core.Application, and assigning Application.application to a
variable, like _app, the doing (_app.textinput1.text)
Accessing members of a child component:
Say that in this case, a child component has the TextInput control you
want to reference. First, make sure the child component has an id:
myComp:MyCustomComp id=mycc1 .../
Then, in the same scope (the same component/file that contains as the
tag above) you can say:
mx:Text id=text1 ... text={mycc1.textinput1.text} .../
Accessing a nested component:
As mentioned above you can go up the hierarchy using
parent.parent You can als go down the hirearchy using id
references:
mx:Text id=text1 ...
text={mycc1.mycc11.mycc.12.textinput1.text} .../
Additional notes:
If you are using SWFLoader to load an entire Application, you can
reference the immediate parent application using parentDocument. You
can also use Application.application to reach the main app, as shown
above.
Accessing members of an application loaded by SWFLoader is a bit more
complicated. See the example here:

Hi Brian,
These days I usually want to end up with strongly typed objects, so I
generally implement my VO classes so that they accept XML in their
constructor. I pass the XML node to the constructor, throw a use
namespace in there and then grab the properties I need from the XML.
HTH,
Ben

You mentioned in the comments on your blog that you like to leave the
resultFormat defaulted to Object. So then how do you construct your
dataProvider? I'm confused because on one hand we're talking about
handling XML/namespace data, but then you talk about leaving it as an
Object. Do you still use a result Handler to parse your Object data
into a different model?

[flexcoders] Loading *existing* modules into a ModuleLoader
I have a fringe use case here, and I think it may be a simple fix but
I'm a little stumped.
I have a shell Flex application loading modules via ModuleLoader. When
a module is instantiated I also add a reference to it in a ViewLocator
class (singleton) containing a hash map. For instance, when Module1 is
loaded, the constructor for Module1's code-behind class (Module1Base)
references the ViewLocator, like so:
class Module1Base
{
public function Module1Base()
{
// some code
ViewLocator.getInstance().addView(this);
}
.
.
.
}
There is a case where I am loading additional modules into the same
ModuleLoader that Module1 occupies. For instance, I want to load
Module2 into said ModuleLoader. Subsequently, I will want to load
Module1 back into the aforementioned ModuleLoader. I am having
difficulty figuring this part out. I am attempting to set the
ModuleLoader's child property to the existing reference in the
ViewLocator, like so:
// after Module1 was loaded, then another module (e.g. Module2)
// then back to Module1
m = moduleLoaderInMainApp;
m.child =
ViewLocator.getInstance().getView(getQualifiedClassName(Module1));
Does anyone have any idea if this can be done, or how to do it?
Thanks,

[flexcoders] CSS cheat sheets
First time poster long time reader. Are there any good flex css cheat sheets out there? Ideally it would list all selectors, properties and values.

[flexcoders] Rotated headings
I'm trying to do some rotated column headings using a repeater (or list, potentially) with rotated labels. But I need the utlimate bounds of the rotated label to be accurate after the rotation. i.e. if it's rotated 90 degrees, the width should narrow. What's the appropriate way to deal with this?
[flexcoders] Item Renderer Not Updating
I have a List that is bound to an ArrayCollection. If I programaticly
update the ArrayCollection, the itemRenderer fails to update as well.
mx:List id=userList
dataProvider={__resourceModel.userSummaries}
selectable=false
itemClick=onItemClick(event)
itemRenderer=mx.controls.CheckBox
width=100% height=100%/
__resourceModel.userSummaries is an ArrayCollection of
ResourceItemModels which looks like:
public class ResourceItemModel implements ModelLocator
{
public var username:String;
public var firstName:String;
public var lastName:String;
// These are used by an itemRenderer
public var label:String;
public var selected:Boolean;
}
The List is a list of CheckBoxes with the username as the label. When
someone selects one of the CheckBoxes, it go off and sets the
'selected' property of the specific ResourceItemModel to true. This
part works just fine.
After a certain user gesture, I want to set all selections back to
false, then reselect any CheckBox selections that may have existed.
This information comes from another model. The resetting of the
CheckBoxes is in a loop that does:
ResourceItemModel(userSummaries[i]).selected = false;
This properly sets the models selected property to false, but the view
does not update (ie. the CheckBox is still selected).
How do I update the itemRender after I programmaticly update the
dataProvider?
Thanks,
Geoff

[flexcoders] cairngorm design question , need suggestions
hi all; we have a GUI built with flex using cairngorm microarchitechture. the GUI is quite complex, and there is an xml schema (xsd) that represents the VO structure. We prepared a code generator(using AIR) which parses the xsd and creates vo's,commanders,events,modelfrontcontroller, so we just handcode the view. (Vo's are serializable to XML and deserializable from XML , all auto generated -sth like jaxb of java- ) the GUI was good for version1 but the XSD had to change a lot and we had to insert hand written code into commaders and we started to have performance issues. now there is a new XSD, GUI will be recreated and we want to upgrade our code generator to support the changes (more clever commanders more specific events!); so here comes my design question : every class has it's own commander. and sometimes, when an event is being executed, another commander should also work(sth more must be done), and there is a specific event for that operation too. (e.g. deletion of an instance of class A requires the update of the instances of class B ) in this situation, 1 should commanderA dispatch an event to update class B instance or 2 should commanderA call commanderB's execute function with the needed event as argument or 3 should commarderA edit B vo's . (we don't prefer this cuz it violates the generic style of our code cairngorm) the second option is more efficient since it does not need to dispatch the event and wait for it to be caught; but we wonder whether it violates the cairngorm design pattern rules. this is a really important project, so we'll be very pleased by taking your comments.

At 2007-11-13 15:06, you wrote:
Ah, that is the problem. Packages and
namespaces are really compile-time things. You
dont use them in run-time references. Instead,
you want to use the run-time DOM.
There are several ways to reach up the
dom. One is application.application. You use
the id of your instantiated component to
reference its public members. So one way to do what you want is::
Import mx.core.Application;
private var _app:Application
_app = Application.application;
user = _app.loginpanel1.user
below are some additional notes on traversing the DOM.
Tracy
Communicating between Components:
Note: for loose coupling use events. But that is another topic.
A non-trivial flex application is component
based. While all of the built in controls are
components, the question of communicating
between components really only arises when you
are using a custom component. A custom
component, whether implemented in mxml or
ActionScript, has its own scope. Within that
component (Application is a component too!), all
sibling child controls share the same scope, so
you can refer to controls by their id. If the
controls(components) have public properties or
methods, you can refernce those members directly through the id:
mx:TextInput id=textinput1 text=test value .../
mx:Text id=text1 ... text={textinput1.text} .../
Ok, so far, its a duh right?
When you use custom components in a Flex app, at
run time they make a document object model
hierarchy (DOM). Each subcomponent has its own
scope and can't *directly* reference the member
properties or methods of its sibling subcomponents.
So again, within a component, you can refernce
siblings directly, as in the example above. But
there are two other cases inherent in a
hierarchy. You might want to reference up, to
get to public members of the parent, or 'down,
to get to public members of some child.
Accessing members in the parent:
On an ordinary component DOM, you can reference
the parent component using the .parent
property. Say that a control with
id=textinput1 exists in the parent of the
current component. then you could do:
mx:Text id=text1 ... text={parent.textinput1.text} .../
Accessing members in the main application:
Components can be nested, sometimes very
deeply. If the reference you want is all the
way at the top-level, main application (the one
with the mx:Application tag), you could do
{parent.parent.parent.textinput1.text}, but you
would have to count the component levels just
right. Instead, you can use Application.application to get to that scope:
mx:Text id=text1 ...
text={Application.application.textinput1.text} .../
You can shoretn this style of reference by
importing mx.core.Application, and assigning
Application.application to a variable, like
_app, the doing (_app.textinput1.text)
Accessing members of a child component:
Say that in this case, a child component has the
TextInput control you want to reference. First,
make sure the child component has an id:
myComp:MyCustomComp id=mycc1 .../
Then, in the same scope (the same component/file
that contains as the tag above) you can say:
mx:Text id=text1 ... text={mycc1.textinput1.text} .../
Accessing a nested component:
As mentioned above you can go up the hierarchy
using parent.parent You can als go down
the hirearchy using id references:
mx:Text id=text1 ...
text={mycc1.mycc11.mycc.12.textinput1.text} .../
Additional notes:
If you are using SWFLoader to load an entire
Application, you can reference the immediate
parent application using parentDocument. You
can also use Application.application to reach the main app, as shown above.
Accessing members of an application loaded by
SWFLoader is a bit more complicated. See the example here:

Does anyone know OR has anyone has success using Interceptors with DataSevices and Hibernate. Specifically we want to be able to modify data as we are sending it through to Hibernate and do not know how that will affect our DataServices framework and data pushing. This also begs the questions, how does DataServices deal with changes made to the database from outside the Flex client (but within Hibernate). For example, is there a way to use our Flex session in Java to make a HIbernate call that will get reflected in the Flex clients. If there is any information on these subjects feel free to send some URLs. We have had trouble finding info on this. Thanks for help with these questions. - Kevin
[flexcoders] Re: Item Renderer Not Updating
I know there's got to be something simple that I'm overlooking, and I thought
that I read
something pertaining to this in the docs, but for the life of me I can't find
it.
Thanks for any suggestions,

mx:List id=userList

itemRenderer=mx.controls.CheckBox
width=100% height=100%/
__resourceModel.userSummaries is an ArrayCollection of
ResourceItemModels which looks like:
public class ResourceItemModel implements ModelLocator
{
public var username:String;
public var firstName:String;
public var lastName:String;
// These are used by an itemRenderer
public var label:String;
public var selected:Boolean;
}
The List is a list of CheckBoxes with the username as the label. When
someone selects one of the CheckBoxes, it go off and sets the
'selected' property of the specific ResourceItemModel to true. This
part works just fine.
After a certain user gesture, I want to set all selections back to
false, then reselect any CheckBox selections that may have existed.
This information comes from another model. The resetting of the
CheckBoxes is in a loop that does:
ResourceItemModel(userSummaries[i]).selected = false;
This properly sets the models selected property to false, but the view
does not update (ie. the CheckBox is still selected).
How do I update the itemRender after I programmaticly update the
dataProvider?
Thanks,
Geoff
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Item Renderer Not Updating
Unless the data object is [bindable], modifications to data objects must
be accompanied by a call to itemUpdated on the collection.

[flexcoders] Vertical scrolling without horizontal scrolling? How do I make 100% == 100% of available width?
Hi guys, I'm having a problem where as soon as my content goes taller than a container (be it the application, or a panel) and a vertical scrollbar is needed, it simply covers up some of the container rather than narrowing it. This of course creates a horizontal scrollbar as well. Is there an easy way to get around this? It's really the last thing I want, and to me seems like the last thing anybody would want. I'm sure it's something simple, but it's just one of those things that appears difficult to google for :) Any help appreciated :) -Josh -- This is crazy!

Re: [flexcoders] Vertical scrolling without horizontal scrolling? How do I make 100% == 100% of available width?
The content is set up to be in some cases 100%, otherwise it's anchored to top/bottom/sides. If I have the container (vbox) anchored to the bottom of the application, or no height specifcation at all, or any %, it simply grows out and i get the dual scrollbars. If i specify a pixel height, the container itself gets a scrollbar and everything works fine. Is there no way to have a container that has an anchored to the application minimum size, but will scroll internally if it needs to? I imagine setting the height to a pixel size when the application detects a resize would achieve the results I'm after, but that's awfully kludgey. I feel like I'm trying to do CSS-based design in HTML :-/ -Josh On Nov 14, 2007 4:49 PM, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does the content need to fill the width of the container?

RE: [flexcoders] Vertical scrolling without horizontal scrolling? How do I make 100% == 100% of available width?
I think you want the content to use 100% but have minWidth=0. You're hitting an obscure 'rule' of flex that we don't shrink containers when they decide to put up scrollbars else it could propagate scrollbars down to its children. Also, if or when you know you want scrollbars, changing the policy to on will factor the scrollbars into the layout. minWidth usually solves it though.
