[flexcoders] Re: Extending Tree component
Per your original question with the drop lines, there's a method
called showDropFeedback() you can override. In the Flex Tree
implementation, most of the work is done in a private function,
updateDropData, so check that out for what you want to do.
I'm not too familiar with the dragComplete mechanism, but it looks
like it should get fired by DragProxy in the mouseUpHandler there, so
you can see what's going on/why it's not getting fired. Some of the
Flex Tree code relies on this, so I'm curious what's going on.
In the dragComplete event, event.dragInitiator will give you the
tree you're dropping from. this is the tree you're dropping on to.
HTH,
Ryan

* only performs an action when you move or copy data in the same

Re: [flexcoders] How to apply resize effect to children
I did some work earlier on switching between two fixed resolutions. I may not be totally correct but based on my observations, If you change the scaleX property of the parent layout component, it more or less resizes the child component accurately. (although I had to resize down and up on a button click, rather than on resize event and my child components were simple controls like TextInput etc. ) You can calculate the scaleX dynamically in the resize effect handler. ~Peeyush On Feb 19, 2008 2:41 PM, YOGESH JADHAV [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I am trying to get some sliding canvas.

Re: [flexcoders] Grouping Data - need some help
Hi, If all children that pertain to a given group already share the same parent (parentKey) that means the group is kind of already here, it is just that it is not exposed to Flex in manner that please it. Indeed HierarchicalData does not work out its hierarchy from parent relationship (parentKey-key) as you have but from children relationship (childrenField). So you need to expose the relationship that way instead of the other way around. Either you have the ability to change your data to expose them that way which would be the simplest, or you have to find a workaround. Maybe using groupingObjectFunction on your grouping to return the instance of the parent (the one pointed by parentKey) would help?

You may have seen some of my postings here, concerning my troubles with mx:DataGrid They've changed up somewhat, now I can produce an RTE in my application: infinite-type UI loops 'and the like' by, say, merely clicking on an empty row below the row that I added via drag-drop. It's like, I don't ever want to take my dog and pony show to the abattoir... In light of my experience with software development in general and Flex in particular, I sure am glad I did not offer a fixed price contract for the work I am doing. How do other people here feel about being confident in being able to confidently offer fixed price contracts for not-yet-developed software that they would be expected to put together using Flex? I know I never would! I think that most of the problems I have had with Flex have come from the asynchronous nature of the software and binding dependencies. I can't claim to have attempted what you're doing, but in something like 70,000 Flexcoders posts, your extreme problems seem to be fairly unique. So far any difficullties I have experienced have either been of my own inadvert making, or able to be worked around. One thing is for sure, Flex can bite you in the posterior quite easily, especially coming from other development environments and I think the highly asynchronous nature of Flex coupled with the use of binding is responsible for that. Flex is pretty amazing as a product, though I doubt anyone would understand that from your reported experience. Maybe you should build a small example demonstrating how bad Flex is? Paul

[flexcoders] Re: Complex chart application - general performance issues.
Thanks for the advice Jim, you've given me plenty of ideas for things to try! Iain --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Jim Cheng [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Iain, I've been working a project quite similar to yours for a while now have encountered the same issues, particularly when handling large data sets (e.g. 1000+ items) with the Adobe Flex charting components, even if only a small subset is being displayed. The core performance issue that I've found is that some parts of the charting framework, particularly the axes and transforms, utilize rather inefficient algorithms that scale poorly with increasing data set size. As a result, while several series consisting of a handful of points can be drawn very quickly, the framerate becomes unacceptably slow if you are plotting multiple series consisting of hundreds of points of each. For best performance with large data sets, you must either reduce the size of data that you're passing into the charts or replace these algorithms with more efficient implementations. A lot of Adobe's code runs in O(n) or worse time. You don't want this. In my case, the solution isn't particularly pretty or fun. I ended up with a blend of different approaches to reduce the total workload needed to calculate and render the charts. First off, you'll realize the biggest gain by culling the number of data points passed to your chart(s), either by lowering the chart resolution with sparser data points or pre-culling the points that will not be displayed on the chart from its data provider rather than depending on the chart to do this via setting the minimum and maximum properties. The charting framework does not do this calculation in a very efficient manner, you're better off doing this yourself externally or overriding it in a subclass with a more efficient search scheme (e.g. a binary search tree). The same is true for various other chart calculations, including the automatic calculation of minimum and maximum values for computing axial ranges--you can save quite a few cycles here if you can compute this more efficiently than iterating through the entire data provider (e.g. better selection algorithms). Depending on how you're using the charting framework, you'll be best served by profiling your application using the Flex Profiler and looking for hotspots where you might be able to make overriding changes to reduce the magnitude of the calculation. This being done, be very sure that you're not redrawing your charts more often than absolutely necessary. This can't really be helped much if you're animating your chart, so you may want to reduce this to a minimum or perhaps drop down to a sparser data set when animating. Also, if you're doing a lot of subclassing, be sure that you're only drawing what truly needs to be updated--in my case, I've found that my class may not always need a redraw even if it is notified as such. In some cases, intelligent caching here may also help in reduce the computational load. Last, if you need to do complex and time-consuming calculation loops that consume more than several dozen milliseconds or so (and will consequently pull down your framerate), consider breaking up your loop across multiple frames. There are several ways you can do this, perhaps with a visitor pattern or by breaking out of your loop after so many iterations and storing your variables such that further execution can be resumed on the next frame. Hope this helps, Jim Cheng EffectiveUI

[flexcoders] Re: Any way to version a swf with major and minor
...that's what CruiseControl is for. Updating versions by hand is not reliable enough and there's nothing worse than not knowing which version of code is in which build. This goes for testing just as much as for customers logging issues. If you have appropriate separation between your developers and Testers then every bug should be logged against a version/build number in which it appears and every fix should be logged against a version/build number in which it will emerge. The testers should only be using builds that come from an official manufacturing process outside development whose responsibility it is to update the version/build numbers. These folks run the ANT scripts in a clean environment. I would use a unique and incrementing build number rather than the latest svn rev unless your build process locks the repository, labels it and uses the rev of the label for the build number. A build number also makes your job a little easier because you can look back and know that there were no intermediate builds between 2.1.12 and 2.1.13 rather than 2.1.4653 and 2.1.4825. I strongly recommend going one step further and logging every source control rev number against every bug fix and every bug number against every rev, that way you can effectively cross-reference your source code, your builds/releases and your bugs. This probably all sounds like overkill but it is not really, it is just a bit of discipline in development which makes release management and subsequent bug tracking much easier. Once your developers get in the habit of doing it they'll not be able to live without it. And when it saves your life in a situation with a customer you'll legislate it in every subsequent project you work on.

here's an idea if you have a strongly typed domain model... 1) create yourself a bubble item renderer 2) override set data() 3) add a transient variable to the objects in your domain model which are in the data provider 4) in the set data() override get the bubble renderer to put itself onto the domain object passed in from the dataprovider 5) when selected in the grid, get the selectedItem and you should have the bubble item renderer 6) change some property of the renderer to hilight it that's one way of doing it, I'm sure there are others.

Hi guys, it's me again. Still with my boring focus problem. Ralf reflexactions - I've learnt how to place focus in the control in the popup. But bloody hell - the TAB focus is still in the parent popup. So, if I subscribe for ESC key in the third popup - everything is OK, everybody is happy. But if I press TAB - it just goes in the popup underneath. PS Due to the Flex memory leaks/perfomance issues/garbage collector laziness I've created the caching popup manager which worsen the problem. Popup is being created only once and then it will be reused. So instead of creationComplete event in the reused popup I am listening for updateComplete events and you will be surprised that setting focus methods are different for existing windows.

You're probably not taking in account the panel's border

To get the true width of the content area youd need to subtract
getStyle(borderThicknessRight) and getStyle(borderThicknessLeft).

So I've been writing an Actionscript component that
extends UIComponent and is wrapped inside a Panel tag. The UIComponent
has code that draws a flowchart of sorts into the content area of the
Panel, based on a dataprovider it's bound to. Everything works fine
there, and the drawn graphics change when the dataprovider changes
automatically. The drawn objects also stay within the boundaries of the
Panel content area, thanks to some help on this list with overriding
some protected methods.
The problem I still have though, is getting the drawn
content to stay centered in the content area, including when the Panel
is resized (either by resizing the browser window, since the Panel's
width is 100%, or by moving an HDividedBox divider that separates it
from other panels), or when the drawn content changes size. I can
measure the size of the drawn content easily enough using the
getBounds() method of Rectangle class, but not the Panel's content area
- the width and height seem to be way off when I measure them.
The other problem is getting the scrollbars to be
accurate. I'm getting really confused by Panel's unscaledWidth,
unscaledHeight, measuredWidth, measuredHeight, width, height,
explicitWidth, and explicitHeight properties and how they all relate to
each other. Is there someone who can explain how the panel's content
area size is calculated and also the scrollbars?
Here is some code snippets from my class:
override protected function
updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void

super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth,
unscaledHeight);
reposition();
measuredWidth = unscaledWidth;
measuredHeight = unscaledHeight;

measuredWidth = rect.width;
measuredHeight = rect.height;
var flowchartRect:Rectangle =

_flowchartHeight = flowchartRect.height;
}
private function reposition(e:Event):void

You're probably not taking in account the panel's border thickness
properties. When you get the panel's width it's including the border (not
just where the content is being drawn like youre imagining). To get the
true width of the content area youd need to subtract
getStyle(borderThicknessRight) and getStyle(borderThicknessLeft).
Hope this helps

[flexcoders] Re: Drawing in Panel Insanity
Jason,
A couple things:
1. You might try putting this inside a canvas within the Panel.
2. Not knowing the bigger picture of your component it's hard to tell
exactly, but if the Panel container is inside of the component and
not the base of the component, your measure function is getting the
boundaries of the whole component, not just the Panel container.
var rect:Rectangle = getBounds(this); If this is not the Panel
container, then that could explain your results.

It is a little confusing, but dataDescriptor is not a read-only property.

What happens when you compile with Ant task using debug=true?
If it generates swf of size more than 190 kb, then probably the
difference you are seeing is due to some other difference between FB
and ant task arguments.
Look in the .actionScriptProperties file to see what libraries FB is

That works great. Thanks for the info.
That still leaves one question,
Is there a way of telling if the textAlign attribute is at its
default (left) state or was it set in the mxml (or
programmatically)
to left?
What I am trying to do is override default behavior in my
extended
TextInput, but if someone actually specifies textAlign=left I
don't want to override that.

Paul,
I believe that the answer to your original question is that
you
need
to use setStyle().
For example:
mx:TextInput id=myTextInput/
private function textAlign():void{
myTextInput.setStyle(textAlign, center);
}

The answer is this.nonInheritingStyles.textAlign.

If I change the value during run time, it doesn't seem to

You're probably not taking in account the panel's border
thickness properties. When you get the panel's width it's including the
border (not just where the content is being drawn like youre imagining).
To get the true width of the content area youd need to subtract
getStyle(borderThicknessRight) and getStyle(borderThicknessLeft).
Hope this helps

So I've been writing an Actionscript component that
extends UIComponent and is wrapped inside a Panel tag. The UIComponent
has code that draws a flowchart of sorts into the content area of the
Panel, based on a dataprovider it's bound to. Everything works fine
there, and the drawn graphics change when the dataprovider changes
automatically. The drawn objects also stay within the boundaries of the
Panel content area, thanks to some help on this list with overriding
some protected methods.
The problem I still have though, is getting the drawn
content to stay centered in the content area, including when the Panel
is resized (either by resizing the browser window, since the Panel's
width is 100%, or by moving an HDividedBox divider that separates it
from other panels), or when the drawn content changes size. I can
measure the size of the drawn content easily enough using the
getBounds() method of Rectangle class, but not the Panel's content area
- the width and height seem to be way off when I measure them.
The other problem is getting the scrollbars to be
accurate. I'm getting really confused by Panel's unscaledWidth,
unscaledHeight, measuredWidth, measuredHeight, width, height,
explicitWidth, and explicitHeight properties and how they all relate to
each other. Is there someone who can explain how the panel's content
area size is calculated and also the scrollbars?
Here is some code snippets from my class:
override protected function
updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void
{
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth,
unscaledHeight);
reposition();
measuredWidth = unscaledWidth;
measuredHeight = unscaledHeight;
}
override protected function measure():void
{
var rect:Rectangle = getBounds(this);
measuredWidth = rect.width;
measuredHeight = rect.height;
var flowchartRect:Rectangle =
getBounds(_flowchart);
_flowchartWidth = flowchartRect.width;
_flowchartHeight = flowchartRect.height;
}
private function reposition(e:Event):void
{
measure();
_flowchart.x = (width/2)-(_flowchart/2);
_flowchart.y = (height/2)-(_flowchart/2);
}

[flexcoders] Re: grouping using XMLListCollection in AdvancedDataGrid (R/O or R/W?)
Hi Nikunj and Screeni_r Just wondering here: do you need to be able to not only view the XML data (Read/Only), but also update the data (Read/Write) and if you are using it in a Read/Write mode, are you having simple successes with that, or some frustration? For myself, I've had some frustration using the non-Advanced mx:DataGrid - just how far advanced is that AdvancedDataGrid? I understand it has column widths that can automatically tune to the width of content: as to what other compelling reasons to uprade there, that's not well advertised. For me, I'd prefer to be able to have the user set column widths and have that persist from session to session for the user. Oh, I have that: based on the ColumnStretch event and a SharedObject client side persistence for those settings. I'll also be needing to do some 'hierarchy folding' on my DataGrid content, and I HOPE I can use ArrayCollection (the dataProvider) filterfunction for that: any advice as to whether or not that will work for me?

RE: [flexcoders] The width change works in Flash CS3 but not in Flex
That's correct. The UIComponent width/height model is more like the
standard UI models. As such, it is not directly tied to the underlying
Flash transforms. If you read up on how to create custom components,
you'll see that you should be doing your drawing in updateDisplayList if
you need to respond to size changes.

Re: [flexcoders] Cannot embed Flash9 symbols
All right so i hope i understood what your saying, what you need to do is bring the Car and the Sign to the Stage, Hit F8 and convert both of them to Symbols/Graphics and then export them and they should work. I tried that and i am able to embed it in flex App. - Original Message From: Sherif Abdou [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2008 12:14:44 PM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Cannot embed Flash9 symbols file wont open and it saves as a word document - Original Message From: Paul Decoursey [EMAIL PROTECTED] net To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2008 11:58:52 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Cannot embed Flash9 symbols Ok, I'm loosing my mind here.

Re: [flexcoders] Implementing Office 2007 menus
I personally hate the ribbon and won't switch to office 2007 'cause of it. I'm happy with Office 2003 for now and our company is evaluating alternate options 'cause Office 2007 is horrible on many fronts (new file format, ribbon, and in general bloat). But the very important point is that the OP specifically asked how he can replicate the Office 2007 UI and when replicating the Office 2007 UI then you need to follow the licensing requirements. As a non-lawyer, I would not recommend to other people to ignore licensing requirements even if I don't agree with them.

It looks like it has some logic where by if the width isn't enough to show the icons, right most buttons turn into text labels and stack on top of each other (remember the ribbon is 3 text lines high). Fails the 'non obvious' patent test, so I'd have no qualms about using it, personally. But the MS gorilla can always afford to tie you up in court for far longer than your bank can stomach, so you might want to use a UI that your users are familiar with instead. 'Course this is exactly what MS wants to achieve - making you afraid to compete. I also happen to think that making your (Offices') users have to throw away all they've learnt about using (Windows) GUIs is a bad move too. -- Tom Chiverton
Re: [flexcoders] BlazeDS mailing list?
That's fair point/concern. In my couple weeks of working with Blaze all of my questions have been about server-side issues, but I'm not usually the average case. We'll see what happens. - Dan Freiman On Feb 19, 2008 1:18 PM, Matt Chotin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We're generally using this list for Blaze questions as well I think. Since most Blaze questions relate to Flex at the moment we're trying not to split the list which we think will just result in cross-posting. That's the experiment for the moment.

[flexcoders] Re: showDataTips are not working for the Datagrid columns having itemRenderers
Hi Alex,
I don't know if you have any influence on the matter (i.e. are you
an Adobe Engineer?), but,
I can only assume the MXML compiler happily processed the
mx:DataGridColumn attribute specifications that included the
non-supported use case here: dataTipFunction AND itemRenderer
If that is an unsuppported use case as you seem to be saying, it
sure would be helpful for the MXML compiler to announce that.

Hi Flex Friends,
Datagrid column having itemRenderer, This itemRenderer class with
display one icon and label.
showDataTips are not working for the Columns having ItemRenderers.
Is there any solution where we can use both showDataTips and
ITemRenderer for DataGridColumn
Sample code:
-DATAGRID-
mx:DataGrid
mx:columns
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=Artist headerText=Artist/
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=Price headerText=Price
showDataTips=true dataTipFunction=showTrunkatedText1/
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=Album headerText=Album
showDataTips=true dataTipFunction=showTrunkatedText
itemRenderer=myItemRendererClass/
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
-ItemRenderer class-
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:HBox xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
verticalScrollPolicy=off
horizontalScrollPolicy=off
verticalAlign=middle
mx:HBox
mx:Image source=@Embed

mx:Label text={data.Album}/
/mx:HBox

Thanks in Advance.

What is the point to copy?!

I found this thing implemented in Mindomo. Does anyone have an idea how he created the menus? Thanks in advance, Fidel.
