[flexcoders] Re: Different approaches to Cairngorm view updates
Yes, it's even mentioned on Derrick's article, but it's just like using binding, ChangeWatcher, only with compile time checking for property's name. On the bottom line, it requires the view to know more than it should. Both approaches seems to solve it, but I'd like to see what other people than me think of each...

I ran across 2 main approaches: 1. Derrick Grigg / Firemoss - use a view controller which listens to the CairngormEventDispatcher and dispatches his own view events which causes the view to react: http://www.dgrigg.com/post.cfm/04/12/2007/Cairngorm-Commands-Views-and-Harikiri http://www.firemoss.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=entryentry=A6A76F5E-3048-55C9-4301E81D24A361B6 2. Thomas Burleson - Thomas suggested that the view would send a proxy responder attached to the CairngormEvent. when the command's result() method is invoked by the business delegate, the command would simply call the proxy responder's onResult() / onFault() which in turn will invoke a call back function on the view which will response by changing the view: http://www.thomasburleson.biz/2007/06/cairngorm_view_notifications.html I can't decide which approach is better. in terms of mvc, both keeps the separation, both can be extended and re-used with different views and also both requires an extra event to code. I also read Thomas talk-back on Derrick's blog, but that also left me with no insight... Before I pick one with no real understanding of the outcome, I'd like to hear what you think is the better one, also if you know any other approach beside model-binding which I try to use as much as possible but that just won't always work, then I'd be happy to hear about it.

[flexcoders] Use browser's function keys (F1,F5,F11 etc) for your Flex web-application
Hi Guys, I want to provide keyboard support for my web-application. For normal keys I do not have any problem. But mainly I have 2 problems with flex implementation part: 1. I am unable to fire events on function keys. i.e. F1,F5 etc. I will appriciate any help from you guys. How can I block all of the browser events? If I will have to create some javascript for that, where shall I place javascript and how shall I call it from my .mxml or .as files? Note: I just want to block browser events and fire my own events, not to kill them :). 2. I noticed that when I move from one window to another window, my focus is lost and keyDownEvents does not support anymore untill I click anywhere in application. Even When the application is loaded for first time, we need to click in order to get the keDownEvent work. So that is how flex-applications work? Do we have any solution for these kind of focus problems? I came to know two ways those are: application.addEventListener(); and this.stage.addEventListener(); so what is main difference between these two and which one is mroe preferable? Please let me know. Thanks Regards, Savan

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Sorting problem on date and numbers with null values, I think
[personal thoughts] Working on Flex projects you have to overcome some 'bug' troubles yourself. Adobe developers couldn't has enough time to help everybody to find solutions, they have to work for tasks depending on priority like all software development teams. Nothing can be perfect we have to trade-off. Performance can be a problem, but if there's a performance problem, you can still change your interface design to make it more acceptable for end users. Your developers are lucky to work with you even don't have to waste time for sorting functions. I have to find trade-off solutions more than these small tasks, even have to think about how to change interface, and defend for myself. End users and bosses wouldn't care where's the problem, what they know is if there's a problem, it's my problem, I have to fix it or make it better at least. For SDK code itself, I think we should let Adobe developers to judge whether it's a simple fix or not. They could have reasons we wouldn't know.

[flexcoders] Scale 9 Issues
Hi there We are trying to skin our app and have added skins for ComboBoxes and Scrollbars. We have scale-9 set on the skin symbols for the arrow buttons but for some reason it is not being picked up in our Flex app. I have looked at the default AeonGraphical theme seen that the right side scale-9 for the ComboBoxArrow_editableUpSkin is set far to the right, completely off the button. I've tried various cases of scale-9, like in the AeonGraphical theme how scale-9 should work, setting the scale area to exclude the arrow portion of the drop-down button. I have also tried explicitly setting the scale-9 in the .css, also to no avail. Cheers Tracy

to be fundemental problems.
If you were to post specific individual questions that are succinctly

getting answers than just saying here is a program, these things
don't work would someone fix them.

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].

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.

Hi Tom
That wouldn't work because item is the assigned object in the
dictionary not the key, so what you would actually be saying is:
newDict[item]=myDict[item], where item would be the key reference in
newDict, while myDic[item] is undefined.
I eventually gave up trying to iterate through a dictionary assign
its child values. The other alternative was to create an array of
keys, iterate those assign the dictionary values to the new dictionary.

Re: [flexcoders] Simple Code to load a jpg from a website, then load again and replace needed
What error are you getting. My guess is that the addChild() is blowing up
because you're trying to add 'content' to the application when 'content' is
already a child of the loader. A displayobject can only be a child of one
displayobjectcontainer. Loaders are fairly low memory usage. I would just
add loader itself to the application and not worry about it. If you're
loading hundreds of images and you start to notice a problem, only then
would I would about optimizing memory management.
What are you trying to make. Based on what I see here, It's possible that
using a flex project as opposed to an Actionscript project will cut
development time significantly.

[flexcoders] Re: Sorting problem on date and numbers with null values, I think
George: additional commentary We are not sitting around waiting for Adobe to hand us a fix. We are doing what needs to be done to get the applications finished. We like Flex, but if the level of effort to work around bugs becomes so time consuming as to make it easier or faster to switch to something less buggy, what do you think we should do? Personally I think that my comments, if internalized by Adobe, can be beneficial to them as well as us developers. Regarding this specific issue, I suspect that the folks at Adobe took one look at the problem, determined that it was a problem (which was good), but then made an internal decision to postpone anyone looking for the solution until after the new release comes out of beta. I also believe that because of the discussion here (specifically comments by Alex Haruri), and in another thread that it was determined to be more of an enhancement than a bug fix, which pushes it way down the priority list. In summary I think we do a disservice to ourselves, and to Adobe if we go silently into the good night... by working around problems and not holding Adobe's feet to the fire to fix problems in their code. /additional commentary Paul --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, George [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [personal thoughts] Working on Flex projects you have to overcome some 'bug' troubles yourself. Adobe developers couldn't has enough time to help everybody to find solutions, they have to work for tasks depending on priority like all software development teams. Nothing can be perfect we have to trade-off. Performance can be a problem, but if there's a performance problem, you can still change your interface design to make it more acceptable for end users. Your developers are lucky to work with you even don't have to waste time for sorting functions. I have to find trade-off solutions more than these small tasks, even have to think about how to change interface, and defend for myself. End users and bosses wouldn't care where's the problem, what they know is if there's a problem, it's my problem, I have to fix it or make it better at least. For SDK code itself, I think we should let Adobe developers to judge whether it's a simple fix or not. They could have reasons we wouldn't know.

The bad news is I was told that they aren't going to fix it anytime soon, what with the new release coming out and the fact that there is an easy workaround and all. opinion It is my opinion, after looking at the code that generates the error, it would be a relatively simple fix. I believe that all that would be needed is in the routine that determines the data type to sort on it should ignore nulls. As it loops through the column to find the data type should it find no non-null elements, it doesn't need to sort anything. The only performance impact would be on columns that contain lots of nulls, but I would rather have my users wait a few milliseconds rather than get an error, or have my developers waste time adding sort handlers for each column in each datagrid. Also I am sure that the sort handlers have a substantial performance impact at runtime. What I am trying to say is I believe that Adobe has made a mistake in offloading a significant amount of work onto developers, and has a poorer product, when with a small effort they can solve the problem. /opinion Paul

[flexcoders] Question regarding textareas.
We are wanting to write a chat application in flash that needs to have very unique requirements so its a one off type of thing that an existing off the shelf wont help with. What we are looking for is each line of chat should have something like the following: x x 10:00pm - How are you today? The x's would be checkboxes. When one of those two boxes are checked we would highlight the How are you today? row of text a specific color. From what I have seen this is not possible, am I wrong? Basically the checkboxes when clicked will just perform a simple send to the flash media server application we are running to perform a simple call on the server. Where we are struggling is trying to find how we might do the following: 1. Add the checkboxes to the html text area. 2. Change the color of the text for that specific line. Any help or light you folks can shed on this for us would be great. Thank you very much.

[flexcoders] Re: Combining Menu, List, Form

(The form should seamlessly disappear as user gets back to parent menu...) I wanted a list to be part of a menu so that it can offer multiple selections. (Again one could just navigate to the list while the rest of the menu is open and glide over without actually selecting the list elements...)..

[flexcoders] Re: DS - Data synchronization between 2 destinations?
--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Jeff Vroom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We are working on improving the ability to do these types of master/detail relationships in future LC DS versions with a single destination. Using one destination is obviously how you'd like to do it but you do run into some performance problems for large collections and object graphs with how it is implemented today. In the future we'll have additional metadata to specify on association properties (at least) which let you specify one or more properties are unfetched until the client tries to access them. That is great! I can't wait to see next LC DS version. I take it you are turning off auto-sync so you can use the paged fill stuff -i.e. the fill methods which return a page at a time? (We hope to also remove that limitation in the next release as well). Yes, that is exactly why i turned off auto-sync. I saw in an archive post that in future DS version it will by possible to auto-sync paged fill (one more feature I'm looking forward to :) The simple answer for keeping data between two destinations in sync is that in your assembler's updateItem method for one destination you use the DataServiceTransaction.updateItem method for the other destination (or similarly for createItem and deleteItem) But when auto-sync is turned off, clients using that destination won't receive those pushed changes. You can however use manual synchronization. Clients can subscribe to one or more subtopics or use a selector expression which specifies which messages they want to receive. Clients or server code which publishes changes can specify which subtopics those messages go to. Thanks! I will try to do this like that. Gabriel

I have been unable to find anyone else who has come across this issue. I have checked through my code again and again, and have been unable to find the flaw. I am using a subclass of HSlider to control the position of an mp3. This, as you might know, involves calling channel.stop() and then channel = sound.play(new position) To be brief, setting the sound to play at anything other than 0 causes the channel.position variable to report an earlier time than is actually playing.The effects appear to be increased with distance from zero and will finish immediately if played from half way through. ] finished at 26584.943310657596 of 41795.91836734694 I'm most eager to get this issue fixed, any help is most appreciated

[flexcoders] Not able to load movie
Hi,
I'm trying to develope a flex based h.264 movie player, but I have ran into
some problems. I have followed the online tutorial
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/hd_video_flash_player.html
but the movie does not start and there is an error returned called
NetStream.Play.FileStructureInvalid. I quite sure that the movie files
that I have tested are valid h.264 and they are playable in movie players,
so I am thinking that it is something else. In fact, when I use a non
existing file name, the same error is returned.
BTW, I'm compiling using -use-network=false as it is using a local
filesystem

Didn't know we'd gotten around to fixing that.
Anyway, I ran the app and don't see any strange behavior. addChild is a
'move' and not a 'copy' as the button label implies.
The best way to make a copy is to put the whole VBox sequence in its
own MXML file and add a new instance of it.

What version of Flex are you using? Flex 3 Beta 2 and Flex 2.0.1
HotFix2 (which are the only versions you should be using) both throw
exceptions with this example.
DateField isn't really set up to handle XML when it is an item renderer.
I sort of got it working like this:
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Date dataField=date
width=100 editable=true
editorDataField=selectedDate rendererIsEditor=true
mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
mx:DateField
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import
mx.controls.listClasses.BaseListData;
import
mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridListData;
// block the underlying
DateFields listData so it
// doesn't think it is
in a DataGrid
private var
_ld:BaseListData;
override public function
get listData():BaseListData
{
return _ld;
}
override public function
set listData(value:BaseListData):void
{
_ld = value;
}
private var _dd:Object;
override public function
get data():Object
{
return _dd;
}
override public function
set data(value:Object):void
{
_dd = value;
if (_ld
_ld is DataGridListData)
{
var s:String = value[DataGridListData(_ld).dataField].toString();
trace(s);
super.data = new Date(Date.parse(s));
}
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:DateField
/mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer
/mx:DataGridColumn
Note that the first date in your example is not a valid format for
Date.parse().
HTH,

column
Hi Alex,
Sure. (Holiday-themed) example below. :-) XML inline, of course,
rather than loaded from external doc as in my final app. As is, it
works (all data is shown, and clicking in the date field opens the
DateField editor... there's a coercion error on click in debug, but
it's silent when not in debug).
Changing the date DataGridColumn to
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Date dataField=date
width=100 editable=true
itemRenderer=mx.controls.DateField
editorDataField=selectedDate rendererIsEditor=true /
prevents any data from being shown. In debug, the coercion error
occurs immediately on creation... which makes perfect sense.
So the issue is definitely that Flex can't parse the date from the XML
node. But I'm at a loss as to how to define the date in the XML to fix
the problem. Am I going to have to step through the XML and convert it
to an Object, converting the date along the way? Or is there a more
straight-forward solution I'm missing? Would there be a way to wrap
the DateField in a custom renderer that can convert the date on the fly?

Can someone please let me know how to disable a menubar in Flex 2
Here is a snippet of my code. Basically at certain points I need to
disable all items in the menu.
mx:MenuBar labelField=@label itemClick=menuHandler(event)
dataProvider={menuBarCollection} width=250 x=520
color=#ff id=menubar1 alpha=0.0 fillColors=[#ff,
#ff]/

menuitem label=View
menuitem label=Qualifications
data=Qualifications/
/menuitem
menuitem label=Help
menuitem label=Help data=Help/
/menuitem
/;
private function menuHandler(event:MenuEvent):void {
if ([EMAIL PROTECTED] == Qualifications) {
_session.addPreviousState(currentState);
navigateToState(SummaryScreen);
} else if ([EMAIL PROTECTED] == Archive) {
_session.addPreviousState(currentState);
navigateToState(ArchiveScreen);
} else if ([EMAIL PROTECTED] == Update) {
onUpdateButtonClicked();

_session.addPreviousState(currentState);
navigateToState(ConfigureScreen);
} else if ([EMAIL PROTECTED] == Help) {
_session.addPreviousState(currentState);
navigateToState(HelpScreen);
}
}
