[flexcoders] Calling a method defined in a script block from an swf... how?
Hi evrybody,
I'm wondering how to call the sayHello() method from an inbeded swf.
Does anyone have a solution for this? (
The goal is to call the sayHello method (defined in the mxml) from the
swf compiled with flash cs3.)
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=vertical
mx:Script
![CDATA[
public function sayHello(toWho:String):void
{
Alert.show(Hello +toWho);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:SWFLoader source=../assets/myCS3compiledswf.swf/
/mx:Application
thanks,
Vincent
[flexcoders] Wrapper freezes during HTTPService call
I have a web application that is primarily html/jsp. It embeds a Flex app for displaying a DataGrid of data from a web service. While the service is executing, the web page does not respond to clicks on links which would navigate to a different page. The embeded Flex app, however, does respond to mouse clicks. I set a timeout on the HTTPService and found that even after the timeout, the web page does not respond to clicks for about another 2 minutes. At that time, the web page will execute whatever I clicked on during the freeze up period. Is there something I can change about the HTTPService or the wrapper configuration? I did a lot of searching through the Flex docs and web sites, but have not found any relevant information. Thanks, Paul

[flexcoders] Re: ListCollectionView#removeAll wants to dispatch undefined
Thanx for the reply!
So would it be alright from the perspective of modelling the application, that
i create a
field children in each class, that hold references to all of its childs that i
want to display?
I thought that the treedatadesciptor would be responsible melting the children
to display
together. But the classes themselves are responsible for providing an access to
the childs
to be displayed?

you should not return different instances for the same set of children,

Subject: [flexcoders] ListCollectionView#removeAll wants to dispatch
undefined
Currently i write a lil' component to display class hierachies. I wrote
my own
TreeDataDescriptor. SInce i work with my own class-, packages- and
interface-descriptor
classes to describe the structure, i encapsule some ArrayCollection. In
order to display the
structures in a tree, i need to melt them together in one
ArrayCollection. So far so good...
Since i want not to create a new ArrayCollection everytime the
ITreeDataDescriptor#getChildren is called, i thought to create one
ArrayCollection and
remove all items when the function is called. I thought it would be ok
to create a new field
(typed: ArrayCollection) for the class. But actually the forces my
component to crash.
Here's the code:
precode
public function getChildren(node:Object,
model:Object=null):ICollectionView {
trace(this._className+#getChildren);
try {
if(node is PackageDescriptor) {
this._children.sort = null;
/*try {
this._children.removeAll();
this._children.refresh();
} catch (e:Error) {
trace(Error: +e.message)
} catch (e1:StackOverflowError) {
trace(StackOverflowError: +e1.message);
} catch (e2:CollectionViewError) {
trace(CollectionViewError: +e2.message);
} catch (e3:ArgumentError) {
trace(ArgumentError: +e2.message);
}*/
trace(\tnode.className: +PackageDescriptor(node).className);
this._children = new ArrayCollection();
var packageDescriptor:PackageDescriptor = PackageDescriptor(node);
for (var i:uint = 0; ipackageDescriptor.packages.length; i++) {
this._children.addItem(PackageDescriptor(packageDescriptor.packages.getI
temAt(i)));
}
for (var j:uint = 0; jpackageDescriptor.classes.length; j++) {
this._children.addItem(ClassDescriptor(packageDescriptor.classes.getItem
At(j)));
}
for (var k:uint = 0; kpackageDescriptor.interfaces.length; k++) {
this._children.addItem(InterfaceDescriptor(packageDescriptor.interfaces.
getItemAt(k)));
}
/*for (var l:uint = 0; lthis._children.length; l++) {
trace(\t\t+l+: +this._children.getItemAt(l).name);
}*/
return this._children;
}
} catch (e:Error) {
trace(Error: +e.message)
} catch (e1:StackOverflowError) {
trace(StackOverflowError: +e1.message);
} catch (e2:CollectionViewError) {
trace(CollectionViewError: +e2.message);
} finally {
return _children;
}
}/code/pre
So why is it at this point wrong to call removeAll to remove all
references from the
ArrayCollection instead of creating a new ArrayCollection all the time?
The code above
compiles. If i uncomment the first try/ctach statement, the application
crashes.

[flexcoders] Strange multiple select bug in List
I'm having a problem getting allowMultipleSelection to work properly. I have
a form with a List control that's populated by an ArrayCollection. I cannot
seem to get multiple selection or dataTips to work. The code for the list
is:
mx:ArrayCollection id=pages
mx:Object name=Home pageID=1 url=/index.cfm /
mx:Object name=About Us pageID=2 url=/about/index.cfm /
mx:Object name=Services pageID=3 url=/services/index.cfm /

mx:FormItem label=Pages
mx:List id=navPages labelField=name change=inspect(event)
allowMultipleSelection=true dataProvider={pages}
dataTipField=url showDataTips=true /
/mx:FormItem
I've tried completely replacing the list with a DataGrid, and that doesn't
work either. I've tried setting just the bare minimum attributes for the
List control (and DG) without any luck.
I've tried this using Flex 3 Beta 2 and 2.0.1 on Mac/Safari with player
9.0.47.0. I tried it on Mac/FF as well, and it sort of worked at first
(clicking items didn't cause other items to deselect - so that's more like
another bug really) but when I reloaded the app, it behaved the same way as
Safari. I'm just building the UI at the moment, so there's no other
functionality in the app. This has got me very confused, and I haven't been
able to find any clues. I know about the Tree multiple select issue in Flex
2, is this related? I swear I've used a multi-select List control before.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I'm busting my head against the wall on this one, I have to say that
Flex is pretty frustrating when you otherwise code C++ or Java by trade.
Poking around, I have found how to pass variables into Flex apps
using flashvars. If I check the Application.application.parameters
value, they are all there. So far so good.
What I need to do, is pass a proxy URL from HTML, into Flex, that
will be used as a url parameter for an HTTPService.
I have for example:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute height=380 width=450 alpha=1.0
initialize=initApp();
mx:Script
![CDATA[
[Bindable]
nbs! p; public var scrmurl:String;
private function initApp():void{
var elements:Array = [ scrmurl ]; // there's quite a
few of these..
for( var i:String in elements ){
if( Application.application.parameters[i] )
this[i] = Application.application.parameters[i];
}
}
! ; ]]
/mx:Script
mx: HTTPService
contentType=application/x-www-form-urlencoded
id=contactform
method=POST
resultFormat=e4x
showBusyCursor=true
url= {scrmurl}xmlrpc/request.php
useProxy=false
fault=handleFault( event )
result=handleResult( event )
/
The idea is to pass in scrmurl, ie http://yourdomain.com/ and the URL
in HTTPService then becomes:
http://yourdomain.com/xmlrpc/request.php
Why won't they HTTPService then, acknowledge the scrmurl variable? When
it posts, it only posts to ! xmlrpc/request.php, as though the parameter
is being completely ignored..
Thanks!

Oops, missed that, but of course, otherwise this[i] = would

So, Alex, this: url= {scrmurl}xmlrpc/request.php should
work. How about when you do your send(), you verify scrmurl has the

You might also try a different style of binding/assignment:
url= {scrmurl + 'xmlrpc/request.php'}

You won't be able to {bind} to dynamically created properties
easily. There may be a way to set up a binding using AS, not sure.
You could just set the url directly in initApp().

[flexcoders] Re: Sorting problem on date and numbers with null values, I think
I agree that you cannot tell what type of data a null is. The sort routine(s) has no problem sorting nulls when the non-null data is string. It also works for completely null columns. I think a reasonable solution would be a new column attribute, sortDataType (values: ascii, number, date) for datagrid columns. If you wanted to go crazy, add another attribute, nullCollateOrder (values: low, high). Modifying the existing sort routines to handle nulls should be fairly trivial. This may improve performance for columns where these attributes are specified since the routine doesn't need to read data to determine the type of sort to perform. A different approach might be an attribute nvl(value), where any nulls would be converted to the value specified. Examples might be nvl (0), nvl(9), nvl(01/01/0001), or nvl(12/31/5600) I realize I must deal with the here and now, so how would you write a generic function to hande this? It is my understanding that the sortCompareFunction wants a function like mySort(obj1:Object,obj2:Object). obj1 and obj2 are two objects that represent two rows, and to access the column to compare you need to know the property such as obj1.myDate, or obj[4]. In order to write a generic routine I need to know know what column has been clicked.

However some of the cells are null. We certainly disagree on this:-) Since a null is a valid result for all data types, it seems to me that any sort algorithm should handle the universe of valid data elements for that type. Additionally there appears to be no way to write a generic sortCompareFunction handler that will handle any column from any datagrid. If this is true then the developer needs to decide what type of data is being stored in each column, can nulls ever exist in this column and then write a custom sort routine for that column. If in fact Flex cannot sort columns with nulls, and every column that could contain a null requires the developer to write a separate custom sort handler, I think that serious shortcoming is a polite way of stating the issue. Is there a way of working around this feature?

Seems like all you need is a comparefunction for dates and one for numbers and assign the correct function to the appropriate column. Also note that if you sort with nulls for data that hasn't arrived yet, you'll probably have to re-sort as the data arrives. The collections generally wait until all data has arrived to do the sort so it doesn't have to keep resorting as data has arrived. So, you could wait for all data to arrive as well, or maybe monkey- patch the sort code to handle null.

Hi,
I'm busting my head against the wall on this one, I have to
say that Flex is pretty frustrating when you otherwise code C++ or Java
by trade.
Poking around, I have found how to pass variables into Flex
apps using flashvars. If I check the Application.application.parameters
value, they are all there. So far so good.
What I need to do, is pass a proxy URL from HTML, into Flex,
that will be used as a url parameter for an HTTPService.

Re: [flexcoders] Web Service Enumerations...Is this a bug?...need help!
Ah! Thank you for the suggestions. I took an old machine and installed Eclipse and the Flex Builder Plugins. Here were my results: Flex 2: Ran my WSDL Test and everything worked fine. Flex 2 with Hotfix 2: Ran WSDL Test and it failed with decode errors Flex 2 with Hotfix 3: Ran WSDL Test and it failed with decode errors Flex 3: Ran my WSDL Test and everything worked fine. It appears that somewhere between 2 3 something broke and got fixed again. I am happy that it is working in the newest version! However, here is my dilemma. We are in the middle of a huge project with weekly deadlines. It is not my practice to install beta versions of software while we are in development like this. But in this case it seems that if we want the fix then we may need to upgrade. So my question is how stable is this Flex 3 version and what potential issues may we run into using this with LCDS 2.5.1? Is there any timeout period to the beta version where we would be stuck with software that we can't use anymore work? This may have already been discussed on the forums so I will search there as well for my answers.

In the code you provided, the CustomEventDispatcher was instantiated
within the mx:Application object. So from what I've seen, yes
Application will be able to hear CustomEventDispatcher's events.
However, my sitation is more like:
Application

|--ContainerC-ContainerD

|--ContainerA-Custom AS class not in display
list-CustomEventDispatcher.
And I want CustomEventDispatcher's event to be heard by Container D.
Right now I have my listener on Application, and then Application is
calling a method on ContainerC, which is then calling a method on
ContainerD. This seems to be ugly and bad form.

To get the latest nightly builds of the pre-release version of Flex 3 SDK, see Adobe Labs: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/sdk/flex3sdk.html If you could try a later SDK out and let us know if any bugs remain (best way is to log a bug at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/ by providing a snippet of code, the wsdl, and an XML capture of the response if it's a decoding issue) that'd be really helpful. Note, when you say the enumeration behavior is not working as expected, are values missing in the encoded or decoded output, or were you hoping for validation? Right now we do not validate the content but simply use the schema to encode and decode content.

Re: [flexcoders] Web Service Enumerations...Is this a bug?...need help!
Have you tried Hotfix 3? That had a lot of updates to web service code. I did notice a lot of odd things similar to what was described when I updated to hotfix 3(I didn't install hotfix 2 until that time). Most of the issues were due to Flex actually handling the SOAP calls as they should be verses the close enough hack way they were before.

Subject: [flexcoders] Strange multiple select bug in List
I'm having a problem getting allowMultipleSelection to work properly. I
have a form with a List control that's populated by an ArrayCollection.
I cannot seem to get multiple selection or dataTips to work. The code
for the list is:
mx:ArrayCollection id= pages
mx:Object name=Home pageID= 1 url=/index.cfm /
mx:Object name=About Us pageID= 2 url=/about/index.cfm /
mx:Object name=Services pageID= 3 url=/services/index.cfm /
mx:Object name=Support pageID= 4 url=/support/index.cfm /
mx:Object name=Contact Us pageID=5 url=/contact/index.cfm /
/mx:ArrayCollection
mx:FormItem label=Pages
mx:List id=navPages labelField=name change=inspect(event)
allowMultipleSelection=true dataProvider={pages }
dataTipField=url showDataTips=true /
/mx:FormItem
I've tried completely replacing the list with a DataGrid, and that
doesn't work either. I've tried setting just the bare minimum attributes
for the List control (and DG) without any luck.
I've tried this using Flex 3 Beta 2 and 2.0.1 on Mac/Safari with player
9.0.47.0. I tried it on Mac/FF as well, and it sort of worked at first
(clicking items didn't cause other items to deselect - so that's more
like another bug really) but when I reloaded the app, it behaved the
same way as Safari. I'm just building the UI at the moment, so there's
no other functionality in the app. This has got me very confused, and I
haven't been able to find any clues. I know about the Tree multiple
select issue in Flex 2, is this related? I swear I've used a
multi-select List control before. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

How would one bind the keys to the new dictionary children?

If I have an object containing types (in my case a collection of Class

Not sure when I'll get time to look. The basic trick to getting multiline to work is to set the explicitWidth/width of the text widget so it can define its height correctly.

Currently i write a lil' component to display class hierachies. I wrote
my own
TreeDataDescriptor. SInce i work with my own class-, packages- and
interface-descriptor
classes to describe the structure, i encapsule some ArrayCollection. In
order to display the
structures in a tree, i need to melt them together in one
ArrayCollection. So far so good...
Since i want not to create a new ArrayCollection everytime the
ITreeDataDescriptor#getChildren is called, i thought to create one
ArrayCollection and
remove all items when the function is called. I thought it would be ok
to create a new field
(typed: ArrayCollection) for the class. But actually the forces my
component to crash.
Here's the code:
precode
public function getChildren(node:Object,
model:Object=null):ICollectionView {
trace(this._className+#getChildren);
try {
if(node is PackageDescriptor) {
this._children.sort = null;
/*try {
this._children.removeAll();
this._children.refresh();
} catch (e:Error) {

}
for (var k:uint = 0; kpackageDescriptor.interfaces.length; k++) {

}
/*for (var l:uint = 0; lthis._children.length; l++) {

return this._children;

} catch (e2:CollectionViewError) {

The code above
compiles. If i uncomment the first try/ctach statement, the application

[flexcoders] If Flex is open source, how do we go about changing the language?
I just ran across what I consider a significant deficiency in Flex. To correct this problem would require an addition of two attributes to the mx:DataGridColumn class. I could make a change to my version of the language, or perhaps I could create an inherited class. However, I feel strongly that the problem is so fundamental that it should be changed in the language. How do I go about making this happen? The problem is this; It appears that when sorting a DataGrid by clicking a column that Flex currently does its best to determine the data type and sorts based on that data type. The problem is that it gets confused when there are nulls in date, numeric, or boolean fields. When it gets confused it ralph's on its shoes (blows up). Based on my research, including reading a bit of the file sortField.as, this is by design. There is a way around it but it requires instantiating a compare function for each column that might get a null, and might be one of non string data types. The workaround is to create a function, and use the sortCompareFunction attribute to call a that function. There is even a kludgier workaround to make the function generic by using the headerRelease attribute of the DataGrid to update a public variable with the column number. Since it seems as though this is an ubiquitous problem, it should be solved in the language itself. The best approach that I came up with is to have two new attributes for the mx:DataGridColumn; sortDataType - Basically specify the type of data contained in the column that would be honored by the sort routine irrespective of the values contained in the column. Values would be any valid data type. sortNullCollatingSequence - This would define whether nulls get sorted to the top or bottom of the list. Values would be low - which would indicate that nulls would sort lower than the lowest normal value, and high - which would indicate that nulls would sort higher than the highest normal value. This is one possible solution, there may be better ones but in my opinion the current method should be improved. I would like to see it implemented quickly as I believe it is a serious problem. How do I go about getting this taken seriously, and not assigned an enhancement request number and never looked at again? Paul

[flexcoders] Replace httpservice busy cursor with other indicator but not cursors
Hi guys, The busy clock cursor cannot render smoothly when too much works running in Flash player, so I think it could be better to replace it with other indicators, such as animated SWF some fixed place. Unfortunately I couldn't find mx.rpc.http.HTTPService.as source(rpc package not open?) and cannot extend something based on. So my plan is to send on-event from each httpservice operation instance, when service executed, turning SWF indicator on; and send another off-event when result/fault happen, when count back to zero. And another clearAll() to turn it off manually. Any better methods? Thanks in advance, George

In the code you provided, the CustomEventDispatcher was instantiated

Application will be able to hear CustomEventDispatcher's events.
However, my sitation is more like:
Application

And I want CustomEventDispatcher's event to be heard by Container D.
Right now I have my listener on Application, and then Application is
calling a method on ContainerC, which is then calling a method on
ContainerD. This seems to be ugly and bad form.

Huh?
@Tom
How would one bind the keys to the new dictionary children?
var newDict:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
var item:Class
for each(item in myDictionary) {
newDict[?] = item;
}
@ben
If I have an object containing types (in my case a collection of Class
types referenced by a key string). Using the ObjectProxy.copy(), the
new object will contain child objects with the same keys as the
original, but the child types are Object types, not Class types.

[flexcoders] Incomplete scrolling
I have a variable-size dashboard-like component, centered inside a panel. The dashboard is encapsulated in an HBox with a border, and is made up of a couple of tilelists and some repeated items. It resizes correctly as its data changes. My problem is that when the dashboard gets too large to display, the panel gets scrollbars correctly, but scrolling to the left doesn't take me all the way to the beginning of the dashboard, i.e. it's clipped. Any ideas? I don't wish to give up the centering behaviour when the dashboard is small.
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Sorting problem on date and numbers with null values, I think
Well, I don't see it as a shortcoming that we default to efficient sort algorithms that assume that all values are of the same type. Seems like all you need is a comparefunction for dates and one for numbers and assign the correct function to the appropriate column. Also note that if you sort with nulls for data that hasn't arrived yet, you'll probably have to re-sort as the data arrives. The collections generally wait until all data has arrived to do the sort so it doesn't have to keep resorting as data has arrived. So, you could wait for all data to arrive as well, or maybe monkey-patch the sort code to handle null.

Re: [flexcoders] Eliminating scrollbars
It's my fault - my post wasn't too explicit. I wasn't particularly thinking of vertical scrollbars. Let's say you had a vertical scrollbar and a width of 100%, this now means you also get a horizontal scrollbar because you can't get the 100% for the component (because of the scrollbar), so a horizontal bar will appear. I really don't want a horizontal bar and depending on content and context I might not have a vertical scrollbar either. So really it's more a case of when you have one scrollbar and don't want two of them!

Of course, when the height is small enough there is no vertical scrollbar. I'd like the box width to track the available space so that no horizontal bar appears. The lazy approach with a magic number less than 100% does do the job, but it would be nice to see how others approach this. If I deliberately suppress the horizontal scroll policy, the vertical scrollbar will be over the box, obscuring part of it.

Hi!
Thanks for the fast reply. This is the code that is executed whenever
the user presses the
add user button:
private function addUser():void {
//Re-sort on the id field
var reSort:Sort = new Sort();
reSort.fields = [new SortField(id)];
this.userList.sort = reSort;
this.userList.refresh();
this.userList.addItem(new SVNUser(userList.length));
var editPosition:Object = new Object();
editPosition.columnIndex = 0;
editPosition.rowIndex = userList.length - 1;
this.userGrid.editedItemPosition = editPosition;
}
As you can see, I set the ArrayCollection's sort to the id column, add a
new item to it and
then focus the user input to the added line in the DataGrid. This works
fine as the selected
item on the grid is always the one that was added (if I did't reset the
sort to the id field,
the line would be inserted in a different position according to the
active sort). The
problem is that the grid still displays the arrow on the column by which
it was being
sorted.
Again, thanks.

Subject: [flexcoders] How to remove the current sort on a Datagrid
Hi,
I have a Datagrid that the user is able to edit directly. He is also
allowed to add a new item
in the grid. This is done by using addItem on the ArrayCollection that
serves as the data
provider for the grid. After that I use the editedField method of the
datagrid to give focus
to the first column of the newly created line so that the user is able
to insert the
information right away. I use as rowIndex the dataProviders length -
1.
The problem is that when the grid is sorted by one of its three
columns
the
dataProvider.lemgth - 1 no longer points to the inserted row. I
successfully resorted the
dataProvider using a new field with sequential number and replacing
the
sort on the
ArrayCollection with a new one that uses this new field. So, the
dataProvider.length - 1
points to the last row (just inserted). The new column is not
displayed,
it's just there for
control.
The problem now is that the DataGrid still displays the arrow on the
column by which it
was last sorted effectively deceiving the user into thinking that the
sort has not changed.
Does anyone know how to solve this?

Hi,
I'm busting my head against the wall on this one, I have to say that
Flex is pretty frustrating when you otherwise code C++ or Java by trade.
Poking around, I have found how to pass variables into Flex apps
using flashvars. If I check the Application.application.parameters
value, they are all there. So far so good.
What I need to do, is pass a proxy URL from HTML, into Flex, that
will be used as a url parameter for an HTTPService.
I have for example:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute height=380 width=450 alpha=1.0
initialize=initApp();
mx:Script
![CDATA[
[Bindable]
public var scrmurl:String;
private function initApp():void{
var elements:Array = [ scrmurl ]; // there's quite a
few of these..
for( var i:String in elements ){
if( Application.application.parameters[i] )
this[i] = Application.application.parameters[i];
}
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:HTTPService
contentType=application/x-www-form-urlencoded
id=contactform
method=POST
resultFormat=e4x
showBusyCursor=true
url= {scrmurl}xmlrpc/request.php
useProxy=false
fault=handleFault( event )
result=handleResult( event )
/
The idea is to pass in scrmurl, ie http://yourdomain.com/ and the URL
in HTTPService then becomes:
http://yourdomain.com/xmlrpc/request.php
Why won't they HTTPService then, acknowledge the scrmurl variable? When
it posts, it only posts to xmlrpc/request.php, as though the parameter
is being completely ignored..
Thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: Sorting problem on date and numbers with null values, I think
The data is fully populated at the time the column header is clicked. However some of the cells are null. We certainly disagree on this:-) Since a null is a valid result for all data types, it seems to me that any sort algorithm should handle the universe of valid data elements for that type. Additionally there appears to be no way to write a generic sortCompareFunction handler that will handle any column from any datagrid. If this is true then the developer needs to decide what type of data is being stored in each column, can nulls ever exist in this column and then write a custom sort routine for that column. If in fact Flex cannot sort columns with nulls, and every column that could contain a null requires the developer to write a separate custom sort handler, I think that serious shortcoming is a polite way of stating the issue. Is there a way of working around this feature? Paul --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, I don't see it as a shortcoming that we default to efficient sort algorithms that assume that all values are of the same type. Seems like all you need is a comparefunction for dates and one for numbers and assign the correct function to the appropriate column. Also note that if you sort with nulls for data that hasn't arrived yet, you'll probably have to re-sort as the data arrives. The collections generally wait until all data has arrived to do the sort so it doesn't have to keep resorting as data has arrived. So, you could wait for all data to arrive as well, or maybe monkey- patch the sort code to handle null.

2. Are you using Pragma: no-cache or cache control?
3. Is the server using gzip?
4. Did you check the URL of your HTTPService call?
Go ahead and print the fault message too, as that can be helpful at

RE: [flexcoders] Subversion clients
We currently use the subclipse plugin, and it's been rock-solid for us, even if it's a little slow at times. Nevertheless if subversive really has fewer bugs it certainly warrants exploration.

Re: [flexcoders] Subversion clients
I've used subclise and I really don't care for it. I have not tried subversive. I've reverted to just using the command line on the Mac. i used to use SVNX, which isn't that bad, in fact I might even recommend it.

RE: [flexcoders] Subversion clients
Not Mac, but hope this helps... For eclipse we use Subclipse. It's ok--get's job done--but a lot of times when we want to use more advanced features of Subversion we feel it's easier to open Windows Explorer and use TortoiseSVN. In Visual Studio we use VisualSVN which is a TortoiseSVN wrapper. It's very nice except for the icons. Integrates into Visual Studio very nicely and has full access to SVN features in clean interface and nice presentation (largely due to piggy backing on TortoiseSVN). In the past we've used PushOK's SVN SCC provider for Visual Studio integration. This is an actual SCC API implementation so would work with any product that follows the MS SCC API standards (all MS ide product and many third party like Borland and Sapien). This was a little buggy, always gave the impression of being poorly written, and since it followed the SCC API it was the Visual Source Safe model and didn't map to SVN very well (VSS uses checkin/checkout model whereas SVN/CVS is change/merge). At the time (prior to VisualSVN), PushOK SVN SCC was best option. One of our developers used a Mac for a while and was frustrated with lack of a good comparable GUI to TortoiseSVN. He eventually switched back to Windows (for a variety of reasons). He just got a new Mac though, so he may be revisiting that decision. ;) Sam --- We're Hiring!

[flexcoders] Project works then doesn't
I'm working on a project that initially compiles and runs correctly. I
change a mx:Label control to a mx:TextArea - no other property changes
at all:
mx:VBox label={data.foo}
mx:Label text={data.bar}/
/mx:VBox
becomes:
mx:VBox label={data.foo}
mx:TextArea text={data.bar}/
/mx:VBox
No pre-compile problems listed but running the project gets:
TypeError: Error #1006: getInstance is not a function.
at
mx.core::Singleton$/getInstance()[E:\dev\flex_3_beta2\sdk\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\core\Singleton.as:65]
at mx.core::UIComponent$cinit()

global$init()[E:\dev\flex_3_beta2\sdk\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\core\UIComponent.as:817]
at global$init()[C:\Documents and Settings\ME\My Documents\Flex
Builder 3\Campus\src\MenuLister.mxml:4]
Even strangerchanging the control back to a Label does _not clear
the error. Meaning i'm back to code that 20 seconds ago worked and now
doesn't.
The first time this happened I set in some breakpoints in a few
different files looking to see where the muckup occurred...didn't find
anything - but while looking the code started working again.
The second time I can only punt to you guys.

Huh?
@Tom
How would one bind the keys to the new dictionary children?
var newDict:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
var item:Class
for each(item in myDictionary) {
newDict[?] = item;
}
@ben
If I have an object containing types (in my case a collection of Class
types referenced by a key string). Using the ObjectProxy.copy(), the
new object will contain child objects with the same keys as the
original, but the child types are Object types, not Class types.
