[flexcoders] Remote Object Security
Hi All 1) Is there any security flaws in RemoteObject? I'm using Remoteobject to call my cfcs and need to secure my application without session. Is it a better method to check a server generated GUID in each call?. 2) Is there any hack attacks reported against Flex applications especially in remoting? Could you please advice? Thanks in advance. Regards, Jerry
[flexcoders] Re: Display Custom ItemRenderer based on previous value in List
Maybe I am just being dense, but I can't figure out how rowIndex helps me since it is relative to the display on the screen and what i really need is to know the index of the current item relative to it's position in the data provider. For example, if I have 3 rows displayed (but 20 items in the ArrayCollection) and I get a rowIndex of 2, all that tells me is that this item is in the third row on the screen. However, that doesn't mean that it is the third item in the dataProvider so this, _listData.owner.dataProvider.getItemAt(listData.rowIndex - 1) would not necessarily lead me to the previous item. Of course, I could scan through the dataProvider each time to try to get the index of the current data item, but that seems extremely inefficient. BTW, I also noticed that the docs refer to the first item in the list as index 1, but in my testing it seemed like this is a zero based index. Am I misreading the docs or are they wrong? rowIndex --- The index of the row of the DataGrid, List, or Tree control relative to the currently visible rows of the control, where the first row is at an index of 1. For example, you click on an item in the control and rowIndex is set to 3. You then scroll the control to change the row's position in the visible rows of the control, and then click on the same row as before. The rowIndex now contains a different value corresponding to the new index of the row in the currently visible rows. - Kevin --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Eric Cancil [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: listData.rowIndex = indispensable On Feb 6, 2008 7:16 PM, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If you assume Arrays, and you can efficiently find the index, then you can use getItemAt to get the previous item. listData.rowIndex might be useful -- *From:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Kevin *Sent:* Wednesday, February 06, 2008 1:24 PM *To:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com *Subject:* [flexcoders] Display Custom ItemRenderer based on previous value in List I am trying to solve a certain design problem and am not sure how to approach this. I have a List control which displays data using a custom ItemRenderer. I currently listen for a dataChange event and set different properties of the ItemRenderer based on the data that is being set. That all works fine. (although it could use some refactoring for performance). However, I now want to set some additional properties based on how this data compares to the data of the previous item in the list's dataProvider. I am struggling to find the best way to do this. I can get access to the DataProvider though this.owner.dataProvider, but then I would need to set up a new cursor, find the current item in the list and then movePrevious() to compare to the previous item. Of course this would have to happen each time they renderer was created for a new item in the list. Can anyone think of another more efficient way to achieve this? Along the same lines, it would also be nice to create separators in List controls, but I haven't figured a way to do this either. For example, if you are displaying a list of 20 scheduled events, it would be nice to be able to create separator for each different day that the events happen on. I am guessing I may have to look into extending the List component for this. - Kevin

Subject: [flexcoders] ColumnChart - creating multiple Linear Axis via

I'm having difficulty understanding how to create, via AS3, a
ColumnChart that contains multiple verticalAxis. I'm familiar with the
sample program MultipleAxis provided by Adobe, but can't correctly
translate this to AS3 code. All is good until I need to create and set
the multiple AxisRenderer objects. Can anyone more familiar give me a
suggestion, or point to any reference material for doing this in AS3?
Thanks.
I've pasted the Adobe MXML sample code below that I'd like to replicate:

paddingLeft=5 paddingRight=5
showDataTips=true dataProvider={expensesAC}

[flexcoders] Tween Class buggy?
Hi All
I'm building a slide out menu.
The requirement is when you mouse over a button it expands
horizontally with a label in it. When you then click it it expands
down with a form inside. If you don't click and mouse out it goes back
to it's initial size.
On the whole this works fine except sometimes when rolling over the
button quickly it doesn't slide all the way back in.
For all of the effects I am using a Tween class. I decided to use a
tween as I need to move and resize the canvas that slides out. This is
because it must expand out to the left so I need to change the x value
to keep the right bound of the button in the same places.
Sometimes it seems the tween will issue call 1 onTweenUpdate call and
then stop with no onTweenEnd call.
I use 1 variable to keep track of all these tweens so before starting
a new tween I can stop the old ones.
I only get problems when re-using this tween variable (never on the
first tween) so I think it must be something to do with the way I stop
the previous tween.
I use this function when I am about to call a new tween:
private function cleanTweens(callLaterFunction:Function):Boolean
{
if(tweenEffect)
{
tweenEffect.stop();
tweenEffect = null;
callLater(callLaterFunction);
return true;
}
return false;
}
and call it like this:
private function onClick(e:Event = null):void
{
if(cleanTweens(onClick))return;
tweenEffect = new
Tween(_horizontalCanvas,_horizontalCanvas.width,expandWidth,effectDuration);
tweenEffect.easingFunction = _easeOut
}
Is there anything else I should be doing before I start a new Tween?
Any suggestions why this might be happening?
Thanks
Giles.

I'm using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection to use my macintosh to connect to the windows computer that i'm using for work (this way i don't need multiple monitors, i can run both machines with my 24 iMac screen which is quite nice)... well it is the RDC software that is displaying the white cursor that i've shown in the screen shot i posted before. when i go to the real windows box and open my app, the cursor is changing as expected.

currently throwing an exception if the singleton exists and its

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: private constructor in action script
Date: Thu, 07 Feb 2008 05:41:03 -
As of now, it is not possible to declare a constructor private (other
than public) in ActionScript 3.0. However, as pointed out, it is
possible to achieve the required behavior by using a dummy private
class defined outside the package so that no one has access to it
outside the file. Passing a dummy instance of this class to the
constructor of the singleton class should prevent other users from
instantiating the singleton class. Here is a code snippet illustrating
the concept:
package
{
class Singleton
{
private static var theOneAndOnlyInstance:Singleton;
public function Singleton(dummy:DummyPrivateClass)
{
super();
}
public static function getInstance():Singleton
{
if(theOneAndOnlyInstance == null)
{
theOneAndOnlyInstance = new Singleton(new DummyPrivateClass());
}
return theOneAndOnlyInstance;
}
}
}
class DummyPrivateClass
{
public function DummyPrivateClass() { super(); }
}

For example, if I have 3 rows displayed (but 20 items in the ArrayCollection) and I get a rowIndex of 2, all that tells me is that this item is in the third row on the screen. However, that doesn't mean that it is the third item in the dataProvider so this, _listData.owner.dataProvider.getItemAt(listData.rowIndex - 1) would not necessarily lead me to the previous item. Of course, I could scan through the dataProvider each time to try to get the index of the current data item, but that seems extremely inefficient. BTW, I also noticed that the docs refer to the first item in the list as index 1, but in my testing it seemed like this is a zero based index. Am I misreading the docs or are they wrong? rowIndex --- The index of the row of the DataGrid, List, or Tree control relative to the currently visible rows of the control, where the first row is at an index of 1. For example, you click on an item in the control and rowIndex is set to 3. You then scroll the control to change the row's position in the visible rows of the control, and then click on the same row as before.

I have a List control which displays data using a custom ItemRenderer. I currently listen for a dataChange event and set different properties of the ItemRenderer based on the data that is being set. That all works fine. (although it could use some refactoring for performance). However, I now want to set some additional properties based on how this data compares to the data of the previous item in the list's dataProvider. I am struggling to find the best way to do this. I can get access to the DataProvider though this.owner.dataProvider, but then I would need to set up a new cursor, find the current item in the list and then movePrevious() to compare to the previous item. Of course this would have to happen each time they renderer was created for a new item in the list. Can anyone think of another more efficient way to achieve this? Along the same lines, it would also be nice to create separators in List controls, but I haven't figured a way to do this either. For example, if you are displaying a list of 20 scheduled events, it would be nice to be able to create separator for each different day that the events happen on.

Re: [flexcoders] flashVars not passed in Flex 3 Builder's debugger?
Does your debugging session launch the wrapper, or the .swf directly ? It launches the wrapper. And after taking a closer look at the wrapper: file:///C:/path/project-name/bin/mxml-name.html# I found that I had made a stupid mistake. I had added the flashvars, var1=blahvar2=blah... to the **first** AC_FL_RunContent() which installs the Flash Player. My bad. As soon as I modified the index.template.html to add the flashVars to the 2nd AC_FL_RunContent(), it worked like a charm.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Still Tree
You said in the prior email that when you drag the icons do not appear,
now you say the icons are fine. I'm not really willing to help you
define which problems you are trying to solve. The points to keep in
mind are:
1) invalidation will cause the expand tween to not play
2) icons are looked up in the document.
Good luck,

The thing is... the icons are just fine, even when i open the branch
for the first time, the icons are all there. The only think it doesnt
work really well is when i load the application and i try to open it
for the first time, than it just popup my leafs instead of being
smooth with that animation of the leafs blinding down if you know what
i mean.
than when i close and open it again it just work fine. This happens on
all of the branches.
all i do is set a iconFunction in the begging of my constructor to
call the parseIcons function
public class menuTree extends Tree

public function menuTree()
{
super();
iconFunction = parseIcons;
}
private function parseIcons(node:XML, type:String = ): void

[flexcoders] Re: System level information in AIR?
As far as I know, this isn't supported. I've submitted an enhancement ticket for some type of generated unique id (since the mac address is considered private data you wouldn't want a flex website to have). It would have to be one-way hashed from something hardware-related like a mac address that won't change very often and is unique. This feature will continue to keep flex behind other languages until it's added. Another option is to look into Artemis, but I'm not sure how deployable this solution is outside of AIR. It'd be nice to have a solution to this problem that works in both Flex and AIR. -Andrew --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Rick Schmitty [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there a way that you could get some kind of unique identifier of the computer via apollo?

As I'm the author, I'd be interested as well ;).

I'm getting dates in my XML formatted like this: 2008/12/20 In some cases in my Flex app I need to add 1 day to that date. What is the best way to do that? Right now I'm working it out this way: s = chartDates.getItemAt(0).globalDeadline; a = s.split(/); newDate = a[0]+/+a[1]+/+(Number(a[2])+1); But I'm pretty sure this isn't right. Can someone help out with the code? Thanks -M

RE: [flexcoders] Datagrid: how to inline edit entire row
The screenshot you've shown looks like HTML to me, so obviously not a real DataGrid in the Flex sense. With Flex you can make the DataGrid editable so that each cell can view individually selected and edited. If that is what you want to accomplish then read the chapter on ItemRenderers and ItemEditors, it should help you. If it is more complex than that, they I saw place a form at the bottom of the grid that gets shown when the user selected a row. If you do the overlay like some people suggest, just be careful cause the overlayed component will hide some rows. Dimitrios Gianninas RIA Developer and Team Lead Optimal Payments Inc.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Interview Questions
Tom makes a good point. It depends on what kind of skills you want to bring in. ecancil's suggestions are ok if you're looking to do a lot of work with custom components. When getting developers to help create standard application, I'd weigh a lot more heavily on the as3 questions. Aside from basic show me how you'd write X algorithm questions, you can ask more in depth ones about the workings of the language: 1) What's the difference between Java and AS3 getters and setters? 2) Explain how binding works in mxml components. 3) What's the difference between ChangeWatcher.watch, and BindingUtils.bindProperty? 4) Why would you want to keep a reference to a ChangeWatcher and call unwatch()? Architecture 5) How do you add event listeners in mxml components. Now AS3 components? 6) What does calling preventDefault() on an event do? How is this enforced? 7) (If applicable) Explain the lifecycle of a Cairngorm action. More 8) What are some ways to specify styles on components? 9) What is the problem with calling setStyle() 10) Explain the difference between creating an effect and setting the target as opposed to adding an effectListener 11) What do repeater components do? 12) How do you identify a component created in a repeater? I'm sure we can come up with plenty more questions. If you want to know the answers to any, simply ask in the forums. Some of these are more open ended. Also, for hit rate I'd expect and medium-level Flex developer to score maybe a 50% if this was a test graded with partial credit. 80-90%+ for experts. -Nick Matelli Amentra, Inc --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Jeffry Houser [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'd have an easier time answering the questions as you go 'down' the list.

[flexcoders] Re: BlazeDS, pdf generation, et al
Thanks for the reply. I am completely new to programming on the server side working only with stand alone apps in the past. We have no solution in place for PDF generation at the moment on the server. And whatever we do has to be open source. We don't want to send the actual reports via email, just a link for the user to go download it from the server. As far as distributing the data from a requesting client (who wants to create a new auto- generated report) to the server and then from the server out to subscribers who could produce the report for publication, I am a lost. I tried out the BlazeDS trial for datapush and it seems promising, but I have no idea how the messagebroker works really and especially how it might receive data from producers (requesting clients). I've also read a bit on JMS and it looks promising, but seems to be complicated to implement. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tom Chiverton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone have any experience with BlazeDS?

[flexcoders] Multiple NetConnections sometimes fail to load in Firefox
Hello, I ran into an issue with my Flex 2 app running in FireFox. I am using NetConnection to remote data from AMFPHP 1.9 and when the application starts it will start loading a few different pieces simultaneously. I have notice that with FireFox it will only load all the data 2/10 times, while in IE all operations finish 10/10 times. Is this because of the multiprocessing in IE? Is there an easy fix for this, or will I have to make some kind of remote queuing system? Off the top of my head, it seems like it would be a pain. Thanks in advance for any advice! ~Aaron

Yes. So, you still have to check if whatever passed inside the

if it is not right. But for most cases, this approach is still better
than throwing only a run time error.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: private constructor in action script
Date: Thu, 07 Feb 2008 05:41:03 -
As of now, it is not possible to declare a constructor private (other
than public) in ActionScript 3.0. However, as pointed out, it is
possible to achieve the required behavior by using a dummy private
class defined outside the package so that no one has access to it
outside the file. Passing a dummy instance of this class to the
constructor of the singleton class should prevent other users from
instantiating the singleton class. Here is a code snippet illustrating
the concept:
package
{
class Singleton
{
private static var theOneAndOnlyInstance:Singleton;
public function Singleton(dummy:DummyPrivateClass)
{
super();
}
public static function getInstance():Singleton
{
if(theOneAndOnlyInstance == null)
{
theOneAndOnlyInstance = new Singleton(new DummyPrivateClass());
}
return theOneAndOnlyInstance;
}
}
}
class DummyPrivateClass
{
public function DummyPrivateClass() { super(); }
}

Add verticalScrollPosition to get the DP index From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 2:58 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Display Custom ItemRenderer based on previous value in List Maybe I am just being dense, but I can't figure out how rowIndex helps me since it is relative to the display on the screen and what i really need is to know the index of the current item relative to it's position in the data provider. For example, if I have 3 rows displayed (but 20 items in the ArrayCollection) and I get a rowIndex of 2, all that tells me is that this item is in the third row on the screen. However, that doesn't mean that it is the third item in the dataProvider so this, _listData.owner.dataProvider.getItemAt(listData.rowIndex - 1) would not necessarily lead me to the previous item. Of course, I could scan through the dataProvider each time to try to get the index of the current data item, but that seems extremely inefficient. BTW, I also noticed that the docs refer to the first item in the list as index 1, but in my testing it seemed like this is a zero based index. Am I misreading the docs or are they wrong? rowIndex --- The index of the row of the DataGrid, List, or Tree control relative to the currently visible rows of the control, where the first row is at an index of 1. For example, you click on an item in the control and rowIndex is set to 3. You then scroll the control to change the row's position in the visible rows of the control, and then click on the same row as before. The rowIndex now contains a different value corresponding to the new index of the row in the currently visible rows. - Kevin --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com , Eric Cancil [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: listData.rowIndex = indispensable On Feb 6, 2008 7:16 PM, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If you assume Arrays, and you can efficiently find the index, then you can use getItemAt to get the previous item. listData.rowIndex might be useful -- *From:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com ] *On Behalf Of *Kevin *Sent:* Wednesday, February 06, 2008 1:24 PM *To:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com *Subject:* [flexcoders] Display Custom ItemRenderer based on previous value in List I am trying to solve a certain design problem and am not sure how to approach this. I have a List control which displays data using a custom ItemRenderer. I currently listen for a dataChange event and set different properties of the ItemRenderer based on the data that is being set. That all works fine. (although it could use some refactoring for performance). However, I now want to set some additional properties based on how this data compares to the data of the previous item in the list's dataProvider. I am struggling to find the best way to do this. I can get access to the DataProvider though this.owner.dataProvider, but then I would need to set up a new cursor, find the current item in the list and then movePrevious() to compare to the previous item. Of course this would have to happen each time they renderer was created for a new item in the list. Can anyone think of another more efficient way to achieve this? Along the same lines, it would also be nice to create separators in List controls, but I haven't figured a way to do this either. For example, if you are displaying a list of 20 scheduled events, it would be nice to be able to create separator for each different day that the events happen on. I am guessing I may have to look into extending the List component for this. - Kevin
[flexcoders] Re: Question on using RPC WebService Call
For more details on what's happening, I hope I don't confuse the
situation with too much data here:
I have a delegate that has a method called GetData and GetData2:
public function GetData():void
{
var token:AsyncToken = ws.GetData();
token.addResponder(this.responder);
}
public function GetData(nodeId:Object = null):void
{
var token:AsyncToken = ws.GetData(nodeId);
token.addResponder(this.responder);
}
I've declared a WebService in Both MXML and in Actionscript:
WebServiceRPC
WebServiceMXML
I then call every combination of the two methods:
WebServiceRPC-GetData (Doesn't even call to the server, doesn't fail.
I suspect something is happening in the SOAPEncoder, though it's not
throwing errors, just silently dying. I'm hoping to figure out
why/how to get it to throw errors. Its silence is disturbing.)
WebServiceMXML-GetData works just fine.
WebServiceRPC-GetData2(null) - SoapFault is raised because the server
doesn't recognize the request.
WebServiceRPC-GetData2(1) - Returns expected Soap Envelope from the
Server
WebServiceMXML-GetData2(null) - Returns proper SoapFault, just like
with WebServiceRPC call above.
WebServiceRPC-GetData2(1) - Returns expected Soap Envelope from the
Server , just like WebServiceRPC call above
I'm trying to figure out how to call the WebServiceRPC-GetData so it
doesn't break (it's not throwing a fault), like it doesn't with the
WebServiceMXML. I guess I'm looking for a strategy for passing
optional parameters from Flex up to WebServices declared in
Actionscript code (RPC).
Here's the WSDL defenition of GetData, as you can see it has both min
and maxOccurs set:
element name=GetData
annotation
documentation
Blah
/documentation
/annotation
complexType
sequence
element maxOccurs=1 minOccurs=0
name=nodeId type=long

Hi, if you use BlazeDS you can use RemoteObjects. You can directly trigger RemoteObjects in your AS3 classes. RemoteObjects are JavaObjects in BlazeDS. For PDF creation you could have a look at ujac.

[flexcoders] Question on using RPC WebService Call
Hello I have 2 Questions 1) I notice that when using mx.rpc.soap.WebService (instead of mx.rpc.soap.mxml.WebService) that there's no property resultFormat. Is there a way for my RPC-based WebService to return e4x? Or, do I manually do the conversion 2) When using the mxml.WebService, do I have to declare all the Operations and Requests? It seems with the rpc-based Webservice, it can dynamically inspect the WebService. The reason I'm asking is that I'm having difficulties passing an optional parameter through the WebService. When using MXML--based WebService, with Operations declared in MXML, the SoapEncoder creates a proper request when omitting that optional parameter. However, the rpc-WebService blows up, never returning, with the SoapEncoder swallowing the error. I'm also asking because we have a lot of web services with a lot of calls that we're integrating, and WSDL import tool doesn't work for us...and we have a lot of WebServices and operations we're bringing into the application, further compounded by the fact that the WebServices are constantly changing through the development environment.

[flexcoders] CellRenderer in AS3/Flex 2 vs. Flash 8/AS2
Does anyone know if the CellRenderer for datagrids in AS3/Flex 2 framework has been improved and made easier to code than it was in AS2/Flash 8 framework? Reason I ask is, I used it extensively in an AS2 project I worked on, and while I got it to work, it was a royal pain to figure out and get it working, and still it seemed a little buggy. Rendering the cells with things like checkboxes was easy, but making the rendered components and other UI items interactive with data was difficult. I'm considering doing it again for a project, but am a little gun-shy based on my past experience with it. Does anyone know if this been improved in the AS3/Flex 2 framework?

There are several JS based sanity checks out on the web that you can adopt to AS. One important factor is preserving UTF8 once you have it in Flex. All data transactions as well, should be UTF8. For example: your server-side script (bi-directionally) for UTF8 And your database should be setup for UTF8. If you are using PHP you can add iconv_set_encoding(input_encoding, UTF-8); iconv_set_encoding(output_encoding, UTF-8); iconv_set_encoding(internal_encoding, UTF-8); to the beginning of your scripts. Alternatively, you can use mySQL_query(SET NAMES UTF8) in your server-side scripts. HTH Body Works Studio wrote: Hello all, I wanted to know is it possible for flex to determine what encoding the text being entered in to a textInput, textArea, or HTMLTextInput is using. Thr concern is a user copies and pastes in text from say a Microsoft product. The reason I ask is we have UTF8 encoding for the project, and sometimes text appears as a black rectangle. Ideally I would like to run a function at focusOut that would confirm .text.

Sorry have to ask that again.
How can I make this function working:
public function showPopupWindow(parent:DisplayObject,
WhatToShow:String):void
{
var helpWindow:TitleWindow =
TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(parent, WhatToShow, true));
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(helpWindow);
}
createPopUp does not take WhatToShow as a parameter.
Thanks for help.
Re: [flexcoders] HTTP requests security
If I do the following: 1) Compile a Flex application with some password stored in a variable 2) Publish the SWF file on the web 3) Send the password from running application over the wire via HTTPS is it possible for a hacker to somehow find out this password? Decompile SWF or something? Yes, it would be quite easy to extract the password. Stephen
RE: [flexcoders] mx:Module problem
Make sure you can use HTTPService in a regular (no modules) application so you know you are using it correctly. Then when you move it to a module, you'll either have to move the entire service or get a reference to the shared service in the main app. From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Swamy Nathan Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 12:25 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] mx:Module problem Hi Folks, i am swaminathan, new enrty to flex2. i am using the menubar in my application, its is used to navigate many forms. am using the modules for each form. and i want to update the form entry to database... am using httpservice in module. the compilation error will occur.

[flexcoders] Flex3beta3 - Any way to get stacked columns to select as one?
I like the new selection support, but one thing kind of bothers me. As of yet, I have found no way to select a stacked column series as a single unit. I think it would be nice to be able to set it so that rather than selecting different pieces of the stack, it selected the whole thing. Is there already a way to do this? Any pointers on how to kludge it in? I'd like both the rollover and the selection to do the same for every chunk of the column. -- Jason
Re: [flexcoders] Re: is this how to use commitProperties
It may be more code - But not only is it best practices, it's also using the
framework to your advantage, and is far more efficient.

if anyone cares to check, is this how your suppose to do the stuff or is
it overkill. This is a Tab that contains a Close Button so if the user
clicks on the close Button then the tab gets removed and depending on the
policy that gets picked it reacts.
