I think they have some cool api to let you display GIS data in your Flex apps. Also, have a look at mapquest (http://www.mapquest.com) Another solution is to use yahoo or google maps. I don't know how that works, so you better wait for someone to reply to that. All the best, Fidel.

[flexcoders] Subclassed PopupButton in a module and external F\work rsl - Not Popping Up
I have subclassed the popupbutton to include a data grid (advanced or std) to create a multi-column combo box. This has all worked fine in Flex 2.0. In Flex 3 when the same component is used in a module that has the framework as external rsl's and deployed to JBoss it fails to popup. The data is set into the grid, but it appears that the commitProperties() is not being called and therefore the popup listeners not being added, but I am not 100% sure of this. When I put the same component into a project that has the framework merged into code and run locally from the filesystem it works fine ! Has anyone else seen something like this ? I have seen the issues relating to the popup being removed from stage but I don't think this is happening although I haven't tried to test for this. Any advise appreciated Thanks BOb

Re: [flexcoders] Export To Outlook. in flex
Last year I needed to output reports that I was showing in a Flex app to MS Word documents. I did this on the back end by generating Open XML documents that MS Word 2003 or later could understand from my servlet. A very quick Google search turned up this article http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA101687211033.aspx which seems to imply that there is an Open XML format for Office Calendar as well. So... (provided that your targeted version of outlook supports the OpenXML format) my suggestion would be to get the spec for that open XML format and generate a document that contains your data. Note: if you want to be even more open than that, see if you can find the XML spec used by open office and verify that your version of outlook can read in docs that use that schema. hth Scott Scott Melby Founder, Fast Lane Software LLC http://www.fastlanesw.com Giles Roadnight wrote: O - I feel a very handy tool in the making - syncing outlook with Google calendar :) waits with interest for answer On Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 7:07 AM, bhaskar M [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I need to implement Export To Outlook feature in flex application. .

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flash For linux
Well, I wish I could run they natively, too. However, virtualization is the only option currently (or use wine, but I find wine to be too buggy for any serious-use). Again, hoping that Adobe will release native versions of their software (Photoshop, Flash IDE and Flex IDE) for Linux soon! Lack of good, professional software like this is one of the main factors that pushes back the adoption of linux desktop workstations. I'm not an open source freak. I love Open Source, but I do pay for good software... why not? Gimp is not an option. As for Linux being difficult, that shouldn't be the case. There are distros. for everyone - for those who like the straightforwardness of Windows there is the excellent Ubuntu and for the control freak there is Gentoo ;) Anyways, the point is that Windows has not the supremacy it used to have a long time ago.

Source will be extracted and you can reach to that by F3 key but for that you need to provide valid professional key a fresh. If flex builder is re installed then the old key is not removed so license extraction is not triggered. solution here is you need to delete the license file under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Flex and then give your professional key again.

Subject: [flexcoders] Custom component with custom style - help please
I've made a custom component and on it I want to place a custom style
named waxColor. I started by simply creating getter/setters for
waxColor. Worked great when I include waxColor=#F0F0F0 to the mxml,
but I want this to be property driven. So I added
[Style(name=waxColor, format=Color, type=unit, inherit=no)]
to my as file. I then coded:
override public function setStyle(styleProp:String, newValue:*) : void
override public function styleChanged(styleProp:String) : void
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number) : void
to do what I needed. In my component that instantiates my custom
component I do myComp.setStyle(waxColor, 0xF0F0F0) and it works great.
But, the entire reason that I've added this as a style was that I
wanted to control the color via a style sheet. So in my css file I added
.wax {
waxColor: 0xF0F0F0;
}
and removed the setStyle code. Now my mxml does not have
waxColor=#F0F0F0 and instead has styleName=wax. This does not
work. I have trace statements in all of my overridden functions and
while styleChanged gets triggered, never with styleProp of waxColor.
setStyle is never called.
What am I doing wrong? I really want waxColor to be able to be set
via my css file.

[flexcoders] performace issue with repeating same component
Hi,
I have a performance issue with a screen that is composed of many
(lets say up to 40) identical childs. The number of childs is decided
at run-time, something like this:
var parentBox:VBox = new VBox();
for each (var data:XML in datas)
{
var chart:MyComp = new MyComp()
parentBox.addChild(chart);
chart.init(data);
}
Here MyComp is a complex component with many buttons, vboxes and a
chart (and other stuff). The rendering of parentBox takes very long
(alomst 7 seconds on a QuadCore machine). Because all the
chart-components are exactly the same, except for the chart-data that
is passed through the init(), is there a way to clone components to
speed up performance? Or something else?
Cheers,

[flexcoders] Re: Why are modules so buggy?
Hi Alex, We are using ModuleLoader so the GC thing shouldn't be an issue. (I tried it with ModuleManager this morning to no avail either.) The animation is just a placeholder at this point so its just a 10 frame tween created in Flash CS3 with a stop() at the beginning and end. When it finishes loading we tell it to play(). The speedup is only present when I add the demon button with addChild() instead of rawChildren.addChild() so I don't think it is related to any intentional framerate increases. I did what you suggested and checked that the module exists, has the correct parent, correct x, y, width and height and all of those properties return the expected values. Not sure what you mean about checking invalidation flags though. More weirdness in today's testing: Our basic setup is that we have a few ModuleLoaders that are on stage and sized but have visibility set to false and we don't give them a url value until we want them to load. When they've finished loading we turn them visible. If I set visible to true and set url to the specified module swf the application never gets out of frame one. The progress bar shows the load completing in the sense that the bar is full width but thats it. The progress bar stays on stage and the app just sits. We never see our actual application stage. So. Con. Fused. Thanks for your help, Ben --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, it doesn't ring any bells, but someone else hit a problem where they were loading the module twice and timing issues from the module being cached in the browser cache affected whether it worked or not. The classic no-show problem is when the IModuleInfo handle returned from ModuleManager is kept only in a local variable to the function that calls ModuleManager.getModule Then a GC can punt the module and that can happen randomly. If you are using ModuleLoader, you won't run into this problem. How does the animation SWF work? Is it code-based, frame-based, timer-based? We pump up the frame-rate during app startup, so that could affect animations.

Thanks Alex. Unfortunately, and as usually seems to be the case, this is happening inside of a fairly complex structure. Something else I just noticed though is also strange. When the app loads we have a SWF that gets loaded and plays an animation before presenting a button that can be clicked which takes you to the module. When the problem arises as I originally described, the intro animation also plays much quicker than usual. Its at least twice as fast as the SWF plays when the problem is not present.

[flexcoders] Re: Custom component with custom style - help please
I actually did have waxColor: #F0F0F0, simply a typo when posting to
the forum. I did remove the getters/setters and it still did not work.
I started looking at different things and found out that setStyle and
styleChanged are simply not called when styles are set via a css. I
think this is very bad, but I was able to work with it. This did tell
me that the styles were actually being set, but since I had code in
the styleChanged to set a boolean, I now simply do the check in
updateDisplayList which actually is a bit easier to follow code. I
still believe that styleChanged should be called no matter how the
style is changed.
Thanks for you help. It didn't answer my question, but it led me to

Subject: [flexcoders] Custom component with custom style - help please
I've made a custom component and on it I want to place a custom style
named waxColor. I started by simply creating getter/setters for
waxColor. Worked great when I include waxColor=#F0F0F0 to the mxml,
but I want this to be property driven. So I added
[Style(name=waxColor, format=Color, type=unit, inherit=no)]
to my as file. I then coded:
override public function setStyle(styleProp:String, newValue:*) : void
override public function styleChanged(styleProp:String) : void
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number) : void
to do what I needed. In my component that instantiates my custom
component I do myComp.setStyle(waxColor, 0xF0F0F0) and it works great.
But, the entire reason that I've added this as a style was that I
wanted to control the color via a style sheet. So in my css file I added
.wax {
waxColor: 0xF0F0F0;
}
and removed the setStyle code. Now my mxml does not have
waxColor=#F0F0F0 and instead has styleName=wax. This does not
work. I have trace statements in all of my overridden functions and
while styleChanged gets triggered, never with styleProp of waxColor.
setStyle is never called.
What am I doing wrong? I really want waxColor to be able to be set
via my css file.
Thanks,

[flexcoders] Re: performace issue with repeating same component
You may want to mess with the new profiler to figure out where the
bottleneck is but my initial guess at the bottleneck is the layout of
the components. If you've got a whole bunch of relative sizing of
positioning of the children that can chew up a lot of time. This is
where you set the width and height properties of child components to a
percentage of the parent, also this applies to setting the top, left,
right and bottom properties. You may want to do some of this layout
yourself.

Hi,
I have a performance issue with a screen that is composed of many
(lets say up to 40) identical childs. The number of childs is decided
at run-time, something like this:
var parentBox:VBox = new VBox();
for each (var data:XML in datas)
{
var chart:MyComp = new MyComp()
parentBox.addChild(chart);
chart.init(data);
}
Here MyComp is a complex component with many buttons, vboxes and a
chart (and other stuff). The rendering of parentBox takes very long
(alomst 7 seconds on a QuadCore machine). Because all the
chart-components are exactly the same, except for the chart-data that
is passed through the init(), is there a way to clone components to
speed up performance? Or something else?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: need help with XML predicate filtering
I have used parent().parent(). But Alex's expression looks better. Also, remember that you can use a separate function (that returns a boolean) to perform more complex logic. I have found that this sometimes is easier to keep track of than trying to do the whole expression inline. Approach this one step at a time. Use some temporary XML and XMLList variables, be verbose in the expressions, and use toXMLString() at every step, making sure you have what you expect.

I actually did have waxColor: #F0F0F0, simply a typo when posting to

I started looking at different things and found out that setStyle and
styleChanged are simply not called when styles are set via a css. I
think this is very bad, but I was able to work with it. This did tell
me that the styles were actually being set, but since I had code in
the styleChanged to set a boolean, I now simply do the check in
updateDisplayList which actually is a bit easier to follow code. I
still believe that styleChanged should be called no matter how the
style is changed.
Thanks for you help. It didn't answer my question, but it led me to

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Why are modules so buggy?
OK, that smells like invalidation loops. At the end of the validation pass something remains invalidated so we do another validation pass, but something still ends up invalidated, so we Until we get a complete validation, the app won't show, and after app startup, until a new component finishes validation, it won't show up. I debug this by setting a breakpoint in LayoutManager.doPhasedInstantiation. If you try it on a test app, you should see that it gets called 3 to 8 times and stops when the app shows up. If you have an invalidation loop, it never stops getting called, and then I debug into it to see who keeps ending up dirty and then try to figure out why. Your demon button could be forcing some edge condition where scrollbars show up then go away (hysteresis). -Alex From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ben.clinkinbeard Sent: Friday, March 14, 2008 6:54 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Why are modules so buggy? Hi Alex, We are using ModuleLoader so the GC thing shouldn't be an issue. (I tried it with ModuleManager this morning to no avail either.) The animation is just a placeholder at this point so its just a 10 frame tween created in Flash CS3 with a stop() at the beginning and end. When it finishes loading we tell it to play(). The speedup is only present when I add the demon button with addChild() instead of rawChildren.addChild() so I don't think it is related to any intentional framerate increases. I did what you suggested and checked that the module exists, has the correct parent, correct x, y, width and height and all of those properties return the expected values. Not sure what you mean about checking invalidation flags though. More weirdness in today's testing: Our basic setup is that we have a few ModuleLoaders that are on stage and sized but have visibility set to false and we don't give them a url value until we want them to load. When they've finished loading we turn them visible. If I set visible to true and set url to the specified module swf the application never gets out of frame one. The progress bar shows the load completing in the sense that the bar is full width but thats it. The progress bar stays on stage and the app just sits. We never see our actual application stage. So. Con. Fused.

Thanks Alex. Unfortunately, and as usually seems to be the case, this is happening inside of a fairly complex structure. Something else I just noticed though is also strange. When the app loads we have a SWF that gets loaded and plays an animation before presenting a button that can be clicked which takes you to the module. When the problem arises as I originally described, the intro animation also plays much quicker than usual. Its at least twice as fast as the SWF plays when the problem is not present.

Dave offers this high-level view of what's required in the itemrenderer... 2. Subclass MenuItemRenderer, and override createChildren(), measure(), updateDisplayList(), and the data setter function. In the createChildren() override, create a UITextField and add it as a child. In measure(), adjust measuredWidth by the textWidth of the UITextField. In updateDisplayList(), set your UITextField's x position, and in the data setter, get the accelerator decoration text out of the value object and set it into your UITextField.

Re: [flexcoders] GIS and Flex
You can use the ESRI, yahoo, mapquest, google, etc map APIs. You can also read the ArcView Shape files and associated DBF files using this library and create your own components. http://code.google.com/p/vanrijkom-flashlibs/ I started with that library to create a heat-map component using maps. The problem with embedding or even downloading ArcView shape files is their size - even the US is over a meg. The problem is that shape files just store points and there are a great number of points. You can reduce the size by storing in your own format (a fixed width integer is half the size of a floating point number). I did that plus ran some map simplification algorithms to reduce the number of points and ended up getting even a world map down to under 100K. Sadly I cannot share the code (it was done for hire).

RE: [flexcoders] memory leak questions
Thanks Gaurav and Alex for the confirmation on the Strings. I did turn on the allocation stack trace option and the strings would show as being created in lines with basic expressions such as a toString() method or something like new XML(string value), so my hunch was that this was something internal and nothing I'd have to be too concerned with. As for the label creation test, I realized that in the attempts I made earlier I made the mistake of monitoring the System.totalMemory value while running the app with the profiler (with the intent of looking for any correlation between the profiler's reported value and the System.totalMemory). Though I imagine most of the logging and performance measuring happens in the Builder process, I guess there is something inside the player that's also performing something cumulative that causes the player's memory usage to increase continuously. In any case, running a release build of the test application seems to keep the memory usage bound, just like Alex described.

Re: [flexcoders] How to change window title font in flexmdi?
Off the top of my head I think the style is called titleStyleName (its the
one inherited from Panel). You can optionally use titleStyleNameFocus and
titleStyleNameNoFocus if you want differences depending on the window's
focus state. These will override the default titleStyleName. These styles
are also completely independent of the effects. You should be able to see
examples of these styles in use in the explorer.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Why are modules so buggy?
So (unsurprisingly) I tried a shortcut and it seems like your scrollbar theory is correct. I first tried setting the scroll policies of demon button's parent to off but that didn't help. I then changed demon button's positioning (in updateDisplayList()) to 0, 0 and that fixed the issue. Its nice to have it showing the module but I can't be too excited since the positioning obviously can't stay at 0, 0.

When the problem arises as I originally described, the intro animation also plays much quicker than usual. Its at least twice as fast as the SWF plays when the

I was developing in FB3 beta, and I was adding items to an array using splice. it was adding the elements to the provided index, and if it was greater then 0, it would add the empty elements as needed.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Why are modules so buggy?
Assuming you've sized the button before you hit this code, you are also in danger if there is a scale factor applied to the component. We recommend using the unscaledWidth/Height parameters passed into updateDisplayList instead of this.width/height as they are not affected by scale. Setting a child's x,y will trigger invalidation in some containers. Normally, the invalidateDisplayListFlag is still set at this time which prevents another invalidation pass. However, if it affects the scrollbar calculation it could ripple back up and make the parent think about its size again. If scrollPolicy=on the scrollbar is factored into the measurements. If not, it isn't.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: WeakMethodClosure - what is this ?
If you try to remove a chart and the profiler shows it is still there, it is leaking. If you reset its dataprovider several times and the number of renderers and other objects it creates keeps increasing, there's a leak there. You just have to keep digging through with the profiler to find the root cause. Sometimes, building simple test cases help too.

How typically you detect if Charts are leaking? Coz I having troubles with that, but definitely something going on. The doc says setting length it will work, but I've never tried it. If you have WMC's referencing Charts, you need to make sure the Charts aren't leaking, and that when a chart goes way it takes all or most of its WMCs with it.

The Tree code is extra complex as it handles parent/child relationships.
Yours can be simpler.
I suppose you could turn off dropEnabled on the List and have each

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Why are modules so buggy?
Ah ha! The component is a subclass of TitlleWindow and giving it a width and height prevents the problem. I hadn't been assigning a size because the component eventually has an image loaded into it that is of variable size. I still don't understand why it was happening though since nothing had been added to the component yet, meaning it should be very small. Oh well. Not sure of the best way to approach the issue since maxWidth and maxHeight don't accept percentage values but thats a fairly minor issue compared to where I was yesterday.

[flexcoders] Dead simple garbage collection problem
I have a container:
mx:VBox id=mainContainer width=100% height=100%/
and the following code
private var masterView:Container;
public function loadHome () : void
{
masterView = null;
mainContainer.removeAllChildren();
masterView = new Home();
mainContainer.addChild(masterView);
}
If i call loadHome() repetively, it never deallocate Home(), and the #
of Home() objects keep on increasinng, even if i run the garbage
collection through the Profiler.
Same problem if i don't declare masterView, and instead just say
mainContainer.addChild (new Home())
Does anyone know how to explicitly free the memory? The documentation
said removeAllChildren() will not deallocate the object, but i also
set it to null. So technically the Home() has no references pointing
to it, and should be deallocated?
Any input?

[flexcoders] Please Help. Pulling hair with TileList and FilterFunction
Hello and thanks for reading this !!!
I am using a TileList with a FilterFunction on the dataprovider which
is an XMLListCollection.
mx:TileList id=productTiles dragEnabled=true
dragMoveEnabled=false
height=100% width=100% useRollOver=false
fontStyle=normal
columnCount={m_columCount} rowCount={m_rowCount}
selectionColor=WHITE
direction=horizontal borderThickness=0
itemRenderer=ProductRenderer
dataProvider={m_products}
allowMultipleSelection=false
/
And my Filter Function is:
private function searchDemo(item:Object):Boolean{
var src:String = filterText.text;
var dst:String = XML(item).toXMLString();
var isMatch:Boolean = false
if(dst.toLocaleLowerCase().search(src.toLowerCase()) !=
-1){
isMatch = true
}
return isMatch;
}
The problem is when I type text in a Text Entry Box the TileList
shrinks to show the matched string ( which is good )
HOWEVER, When I start dragging a Tile Item the faded Icon is of the
wrong image as if the TileList did not fully update the XMLList
collection or something.
Is there something I need to do in order to tell my TileList the the
data provider ( XMLListCollection ) is filtered ?
I do execute the refresh() on my FilterFunction and all seem ok only
that when starting to drag items from the filtered TileList does not
work correctly ...
Please Help...
Thanks again,
Sean.
