[flexcoders] Re: Custom HTTP Headers broken?

[scott.royston]

Just to answer my own question, this looks like a known bug:
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-11401

unfortunately its at the flash player level so I don't know the true
resolution of the issue (will fix/wont fix/etc).

I'm very curious how custom headers with an HTTP GET is working for
you given that this seems to be a confirmed bug for everyone.

Thanks again

RE: [flexcoders]How to change the selectedIndex of a LinkBar

[Tracy Spratt]

I don't use LinkBar because it is too limiting.

If I need the links dataDriven, I use LinkButtons in a Repeater,
otherwise I just use LinkButtons declared individually.  LinkButtons
call a nav function, which changes the styleName of the previously
selected LinkButton(ref stored in instance variable) to a "normal"
style, and the currently clicked LinkButton to a "selected" style.

Apparently the visual selection in a LinkBar only works when its
dataprovider is a collection of DisplayObjects (e.g. ViewStack).

The ViewStack doesn't even have to be visually present (it has to be on
the display list though), so the following will work ;-)

 
 
 
  
  
  
 

And of course you can extend LinkBar or NavBar and make it work properly

[flexcoders] Re: Child object disappear after be added to another object

[rueter007]

adding a component which is a child of another component already will
reparent the component(i.e change the parent of the child to the new
canvas, cb in your case.). This is normal behavior. I am not sure why
ca would return true but maybe cb is a child of ca? In this case, ca
will return true because img1 is in the hierarchy of ca.

Hello all

Canvas. This is the situation

  First, I have an Image named "img1" in a.mxml which is a Canvas; I
name it "ca". Then I send the img1 out by some function to another Canvas
b.mxml; I name it "cb". After I added the img1 to cb by cb.addChild(img1), I
found the image showed up in cb but disappeared in ca. Then I use
ca.contains(img1) to check if ca still has the img1, it returned true. But,
where the img1 in ca went?

 

  Can anybody help me with the strange problem?

  Thanks very much.

[flexcoders] ContextMenu: Detecting when "Paste" is selected

[Paul Whitelock]

I have a TextArea and I need to know whenever a user selects the
"Paste" option from the ContextMenu. 

I tried creating and adding a ContextMenu to the TextArea, but I can
only add an event listener for MENU_SELECT since I believe you need to
have a reference to the menu item in order to add a MENU_ITEM_SELECT
event listener.

Any idea how I can detect when "Paste" is selected from a ContextMenu
in a TextArea? Thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: Sugestion for ComboBox component

[danielvlopes]

In my case when had more than one value i always use dataprovider with
id and nome, in this case i use this method:

public function setComboComplexItem(combo:String,item:String):void{
  for(var i:Number = 0; i < this[combo].dataProvider.length; i++) {
if (this[combo].dataProvider[i].nome == item){
this[combo].selectedIndex = i;
}   
  }
}

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Sugestion for ComboBox component

[Tracy Spratt]

Except that assumes the dataProvider for the ComboBox is an array of
simple values, which is often/usually not the case.

 

Also, break; the loop inside the if().  No point in continuing the loop
once the match is found.

[flexcoders] Re: tileList displaying items order other than that represented by dataProvider

[Alex]

I posted a response which suggested where the issue was as yes, I know
this can be made to work as expected.

A simple change can make it work but it doesn't fulfill the
requirements that I have (with regards to making a reusable component
that can be customized by derivation and overriding methods). 

The post does provide a code snippet which illustrates what does and
doesn't work.

Damn! This seemingly simple item has really been a bane of mine. I 
have view stcks, and remove/add children functions in a lot of places 
I'd rather they were not.

Thank you all very much for the help on this. I jut knew there would

I don't think you get an error, but warning instead.  If you see no other
error, try and run the app and see if the binding is working as expected.

In something like an  HBOX making it non-visible does not remove its

[flexcoders] Re: removing component height

[rueter007]

Tracy is right. setting visible=false will still reserve the space
taken by the component. You have to set both visible and
includeInLayout properties to false so that the component does not
take any space in the layout.

RE: [flexcoders] Sugestion for ComboBox component

[Tracy Spratt]

Extend combobox yourself, add this functionality, it is not difficult.
You only need to do it once.  And there are components available that do
this, I have one that is part of an item renderer, here:

http://www.cflex.net/showfiledetails.cfm?ChannelID=1&Object=File&objectI
D=767 It is just an example, not a production level component, the main
problems are with the renerder part, defining the row-level dataProvider
for the combo drop down.  Take that out and it gets much simpler.

 

One issue with doing it generically is specifying which property of the
ComboBox dataProvider item to use for the match. You may not be matching
on the "label". See how I handled it im my example.

[flexcoders]How to change the selectedIndex of a LinkBar

No matter what I try I cannot change the "selected" item in the linkbar. Try
this example. How do I change what item is visually "selected".

BTW does it seem confusing that the selected color and selected text don't
refer to the item that the user is on or has already clicked?

Re: SPAM-LOW: [flexcoders] RemoteObject in an Air app

  You probably need to create a new services-config file with a hard

  I suspect (but haven't tested) that you need a cross domain file in

Using Flex 2.01, I have a standard piechart with 4-6 pies and the
smaller pies will not pop up tooltips. We have a formatDataType
function that just spits out some data but other than that, it is very

something I need to do differently.

The PieChart is inside of a canvas which is inside of a tab.

Any ideas?

[flexcoders] Automatic Validation for Entire Form

Isn't there a way to make sure an entire form is validated
automatically? Then if it were, it may send an event, doing something
like enabling a button or allowing you to go on. If this functionality
isn't present, I may have to figure out how to write my own code. I just
want to make sure there isn't something like this already present.
Because right now, it looks like I would have to hand-check every form
field individually, and that wouldn't be so great for around 400+ fields
in a form.

[flexcoders] Re: tileList displaying items order other than that represented by dataProvider

[Alex]

Thanks for the clarification on recycle. 

In my case the dataset is changed when it is sorted in dataGrid view
by clicking on the column header (the data is otherwise static and no
scrolling is involved as I only have 3 data items). 

As the 2 views (dataGrid and tileList) share a common dataProvider my
expectation is that the sort in one view will be visually represented
in another.

I have vastly simplified the application source to focus on the
problem and what I find is that my itemRenderer for the tileList view
if coded as follows works showing the expected sort in both views:



If coded as follows (as I want, so that I can override the renderer
and provide a different attribute other than 'name' for a label) the
issue with incorrect sorting in tileList view arises:

   

where the following is also defined
 
   /**
   * Retrieve the label to be used for the thumbnail 
   * associated with each data item. This method may 
   * be overridden in a derived class to customize 
   * the icon label associated with the thumbnail 
   * for each data item.
   */
   public function get thumbLabel(): String {
   return data.name;
   }

Is there a solution which will allow me to provide the string to be
displayed via a function? The intent is to be able to override the
thumbLabel function in an itemRenderer derived from this 'base'
itemRenderer class for cases where the dataset displayed uses an
attribute named other than 'name', for example an override might
simply return data.title or even conditionalize the string returned
based on other data attributes.

As I suggested the source for this entire simplified application is
now something that I could provide as I've boiled it down
substantially. The above issue is however the crux of the problem in
both the simplified sample and the original application.

Thanks for your continued assistance.
Alex M

PS: The tileList is defined as follows 



The CEMDataviewThumbGeneratorIcon as follows

RE: [flexcoders] why frontcontroller doesn't work?

[Tianzhen Lin]

How did you raise the LoginEvent?

 

Make sure when you instantiate LoginEvent, you do

 

var evt:LoginEvent = new LoginEvent( LoginEvent.PROCESSES );

evt.dispatch();

 

The key is to make sure the event type (LoginEvent.PROCESSES) is declared
unless you have a default type for LoginEvent.

RE: [flexcoders] What event to catch

[mark goldin]

Is it possible that you could have pointed me to a sample or something that 
would explain in greater detail how to pass an event from the inside of 
DataGrid's cell up to the DataGrid level?
   
  Thanks much.

PUT would be determined by the sand box per se, no put outside it. With POST
and GET its currently working for me with B3, so that is a bit weird.
I have had issues with PUT in general even within the Sandbox but it was B1.

Re: [flexcoders] function binding & toString !! Additional information

[Johannes Nel]

override the set data function in your item renderer and bind your function
getter to an event you dispatch in there.

[flexcoders] Re: Custom HTTP Headers broken?

I believe I have read all the docs, and I've definitely sniffed the
http.  If there is a particular piece of documentation you belive I've
missed, please point me in the right direction.  I'd be very
interested in understanding why I can use custom headers in a PUT, but
not a GET.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Centering an Application

[Randy Martin]

All you have to do is set the horizontalCenter=0 and verticalCenter=0 on the
outermost component (except Canvas) in your application. For example,
 
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout=absolute>
  


  

 
This will center the title window on your screen.

[flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm Overview Question

[jer_ela]

You're stuck with having a single ServiceLocator because of how it is
located, but you can have seperate ModelLocators and FrontControllers
for each module.

The FrontControllers all use the singleton CairngormEventDispathcer so
your event types have to be globally unique even though you are
registering them via different FrontControllers.

I implemented Cairngorm this way when I had a composite app and have
been happy with the results.

Re: [flexcoders] function binding & toString !! Additional information

[yigit]

http://127.0.0.1:49661/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.adobe.flexbuilder.help/html/databinding_4.html
here; in the first example, there is a bindable function and it is not a 
setter or getter.

so functions other then setters and getters can be binded!
so my question should have an answer...

by the way, i'm dont have to use function biding, i can make thinks work 
without it, but when i saw it
i decided to use, cuz it is cool :) , and good in terms of code 
readiblity...


so , check out te following example, an event triggers the binding of 
the function and the function(is Enabled) is neither a getter

or a setter:



http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";>

Hi,

Though I'm no expert in security it's something that always interests 
me, since I mainly work on the health area and they are pretty concerned 
with it.

I already knew riapt, I just think it is too oriented to news on the ria 
world and since I read Ted Patrick's blog every day I usually get them 
first from there. It would be nice if you started posting tips and small 
tutorials.

[flexcoders] Authorized REST GET impossible?

[scott.royston]

Is there any way to do an HTTP GET through HTTPService or URLRequest
that includes Authorization information?

I can't set the Authorization header.
I can't set a custom header.
I can't use setCredentials(...) against a non-Blaze/proxy backend.
I don't want to put it in the URL because it kills bookmarking, etc.

This seems like something that people would want to do often, I'm
wondering if I'm missing an easy, obvious option.

[flexcoders] Type Coercion Error (Object -> VO)

[Ghost]

Hi, i'm building a project with Cairngorm 2.1 and Flex
2. But i'm getting type coercion error trying to store
a element of server result (array of objects using
weborb) at a variable called "selectedItem". I
firstly, store as Array and convert it to a
ICollectionView to sort it, but still can't convert my
object type from server to my VO. Can anybody help me
please?

Following, the codes:
//GetFabricaCommand.as, function result()
public function result( event : Object  ) : void
{   
var resultado : ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(
event.result as Array );
var fabricas : ICollectionView =
ICollectionView(resultado);
var model : AtacadoMoveisModelLocator =
AtacadoMoveisModelLocator.getInstance();

// sort the data
var sort :Sort = new Sort();
sort.fields = [ new SortField( "nome", true ) ];
fabricas.sort = sort;
fabricas.refresh();
   
//model.selectedItem =
FabricaVO(resultado.getItemAt(0)); //this doesnt works
model.selectedItem = FabricaVO(fabricas[ 0 ]);
model.fabricas = fabricas; //this works
}
//End of result function

Now, the VO (FabricaVO.as):
package com.adobe.cairngorm.atacadomoveis.vo
{
import com.adobe.cairngorm.vo.IValueObject;
import
com.adobe.cairngorm.atacadomoveis.util.Comparable;
 


public class FabricaVO implements IValueObject,
Comparable 
{
public function get identifier() : String
{
return String( id_fabrica );
}

public function toString() : String
{
var s : String = "FabricaVO[id=2];";
return s;
}
[Bindable]
public var id_fabrica : Number;

[Bindable]
public var nome : String;

[Bindable]
public var descricao : String;

[Bindable]
public var logo : String;

public var data_cadastro : String;

Following facts may help:
1. On the server of the loaded-SWF file, crossdomain.xml exists with the
"*" permission.
2. In the initialize event handler of the loaded-SWF file,
Security.allowDomain("*") also exists.

If I write "Security.allowDomain("*")" in the loading SWF, then this
error is solved.

But my question is,  "Why is it necessary to use allowDomain() in the
loading-SWF, as I don't want to allow the loaded-SWF file to cross
script the loading-SWF file?" or "How can I solve this error without
using the allowDomain() in the loading-SWF?"

[flexcoders] XMLListCollection.copy drop namespaces - Bug or feature?

[Tom Ortega]

Say you have the following XML:

http://www.somesite.com/someurl";>


1
MyItem


2
MyOtherItem




if I do:

rows:XMLListCollection;
rows = new XMLListCollection(node.*.(localName() == "Row"));

Then the sol namespace gets copied.  However, if I do,

rowCopy:XMLListCollection;
rowcopy = rows.copy();

rowCopy will lose the namespace.  Is that a bug or proper behavior?

Thanks,
Tom

Good point. I wasn't aware that after decompiled it still would be
hard to understand the code, except hardcoded strings.

Frederico, since you are portuguese, are you aware of the Portuguese

Well,this is in fact a lot of work. I used this because I wanted to 
surround my main canvas with different colors (like a tile). If you just 
want your canvas centered you have to insert ALL you content inside a 
SINGLE container (canvas, panel, etc...) a center that container inside 
the Application (HorizontalCenter and VerticalCenter).

I think what you'r trying to do is center the application itself. Not 
possible (or at least inside flex, in order to do that you must change 
the html template and add the swf in the middle cell of a 3x3 table)

[flexcoders] Styling itemrenderer

[candysmate]

I have a custom itemrenderer:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
styleName="rendererStyle">


which I'm popping into a dataGridColumn with:


 

my style is setup thus:

@font-face {
 src:url("wingding.ttf");
 fontFamily: myFontFamily;
 flashType: true;
 font-weight:normal;
 unicodeRange:U+00FB-U+00FB;
}

rendererStyle {
 font-family: myFontFamily;
 flashType: true;
 font-weight: normal;
 color: #FF;
 font-size: 30pt;
}   

However, the datagridcolumn only displays the unstyled character û.
Elsewhere in my application this character, when correctly styled,
shows up as the WingDing 'handwritten cross' character as I designed it.

Where am I going wrong please?

Else where in my application I use this technique:



  
  
  
  



it works fine, but the compiler complains that I've already used that
className if I want to repeat the technique elsewhere which is why I'm
trying out this new way.

Any pointers much appreciated. Thanks.

[flexcoders] Cairngorm Overview Question

[Tim Ashworth]

Hi All,
 
I've just started playing with Cairngorm (and have been kicking myself for
not doing it earlier) and I'm very impressed with the approach and
framework.  One v v quick question though.  I'm using it for an app that has
a number of modules that could be treated as standalone modules.  They
interact, but basically they are their own little thing (e.g. A contact
management module, a job planning module).  Using Cairngorm is it correct
(and I know there is not right or wrong) to create each of these as widgets
using the framework and sticking with the MVC style and then write code over
the top to stitch it all together or is it better to look at the entire app
as a whole and create it that way, I.e. have a ServiceLocator that holds ALL
of the data connections, a Model for the entire app?  The second way feels
wrong, but I can't find anything about doing it in the modular way without
writing code over the top (which I am more than happy to do - just my
experience of writing loads of code and then finding Cairngorm is making me
pause to see if there is something I'm missing).
 
Anyway - cheers in advance and Merry New Year!

Blaze is restricted but free and open source version of LCDS (some
components was cut off), check this:
http://res.sys-con.com/story/dec07/474563/BlazeDS.JPG

After some struggling with LCDS’s we decided migrate to Granite DS. My

Most probably that Blaze and GDS will merge their code bases in

Hi Garcia,

Thanks a lot for the tip. Muito obrigado mesmo.

I will give it a try. But that is a hell of a lot work for a simple
solution. :D
