Subject: [flexcoders] Error thrown in application is being 'swallowed'
If there is a critical failure in my applications I make sure to throw
and error to bring the system down so that nothing fails quietly that
can't be recovered from gracefully. However, I just found a case
where a custom Error instance is thrown and even though it is not
being caught in code, it never causes an Flash error window to appear,
it just quits that particular operation and carries on like nothing
happened.
It is a case for a VO parsing a CSV. If the number of tokens is less
than the required amount, an Error is thrown because the CSV should
ALWAYS have the specific number of tokens (or more) when I call
'split'. Turns out it ignore the case where there was only 4 tokens
when 5 are required. The code is trivial.
var words:Array = message.split( , );
if ( words.length 5 )
{
throw new InvalidMessageError( message,
Device information messages require 5 fields, not +
words.length );
}
Anyone else experience this in Flex or Flash?
Thanks,

[flexcoders] Re: Custom Cursors causing slowdown
Thanks for that great explanation. Your issues about not supporting the native OS cursors and thus having to track down your own (which then don't match the native OS) also bothered me I'd like to see support of at least the minimum set of cursors defined in CSS2 via the flash player. On that thought I was just wondering if it was possible to use the ExternalInterface to do this? By maybe setting a classname on the Flash object via JavaScript... hm -D --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Troy Gilbert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I wondered if anyone else had experienced similar issues? What you're seeing is your app's actual framerate. Nothing is going slower. Here's why... If you don't specify any custom cursors, Flash just uses the OS's cursor and let's the OS do its standard thing of drawing it (which all modern OS's do as a very high priority process, usually part of the video driver, so that the mouse is always responsive). When you specify a custom cursor, the Flash Player actually does something tricky (some may say hacky!). It hides the OS cursor (when the mouse is over the Flash Player) and instead moves a DisplayObject around the stage tracking the mouse's position. So, with the default cursor you're using the OS to draw the cursor; with any custom cursors, you're using the Flash Player API to draw it. The most obvious effect (if you're app is not performance intensive) is that the mouse will only update at your app's framerate, which for Flex defaults to 24fps (much lower than any modern OS's mouse refresh). Personally, I think Adobe should provide a cursor API that's implemented as a native OS cursor (provide a bitmap of a fixed resolution, for example). At a minimum, I think the Flash Player should expose a collection of native cursors that map to the browser's native cursors. It's rather irritating that I have to track down and embed a hand-grab image, a resize image, etc., in order to have what are virtually universal cursors under any OS (and mine won't match the OS!). This is one area where AJAX apps are superior. Troy.

try capturing whether a drag can occur based on a mouseOver maybe. eg, onMouserOver set canDrag = true if NOT over the footer. Then in your drag handler check this to see if drag is allowed or not.

Re: [flexcoders] RegExp searching for [ and ], are they reserved?
hey i'm not a regex pro by far which is why i asked if my regex was wrong-
but taking your suggestion it still does not work- not sure why. i've used
the RegExr air app to test this and the simplest i can get it is new
RegExp(\[[^]*\],igm);
this works when {} are used but not when [] is used, you can see in the
example below- it looks like escaping the [] is affecting the match
(although it works fine in the regex test tool).

hey all,
i'm trying to do a replace on a string and replace anything in brackets
with something else.
so [this] word would get replaced, however in the regex tester at gskinner
this works fine (it's flex based regex test tool) but in my local code- i
always get unexpected results when my regex expression has brackets in it.
private var mergeRE:RegExp = new RegExp(\[[^]*?],igm);
is there another escape character i need to use, why does flash have a
problem searching for [ and ] in regex?

Subject: [flexcoders] Error thrown in application is being 'swallowed'
If there is a critical failure in my applications I make sure to throw
and error to bring the system down so that nothing fails quietly that
can't be recovered from gracefully. However, I just found a case
where a custom Error instance is thrown and even though it is not
being caught in code, it never causes an Flash error window to appear,
it just quits that particular operation and carries on like nothing
happened.
It is a case for a VO parsing a CSV. If the number of tokens is less
than the required amount, an Error is thrown because the CSV should
ALWAYS have the specific number of tokens (or more) when I call
'split'. Turns out it ignore the case where there was only 4 tokens
when 5 are required. The code is trivial.
var words:Array = message.split( , );
if ( words.length 5 )
{
throw new InvalidMessageError( message,
Device information messages require 5 fields, not +
words.length );
}
Anyone else experience this in Flex or Flash?

[flexcoders] SWF generated by ant does not work
Hi
I am trying to build my Flex/Java project with ant because it is the way
we build all the projects but for some reason the SWF file that is
generated by the ant script is not working but the one generated by Flex
Builder works.
Also I noticed that the one created by ANT is smaller than the one in FB
by 100KB.
Some of the exceptions I get from the ANT swf when I start the
application are:

Here's the relevant code fragmants for creating, and then accessing
the column number.
// Creating the columns
private const SeriesName:String = Series;
for (var c:int = 1; c seriesCount; c++) {
var cs:ColumnSeries = new ColumnSeries();
cs.name = SeriesName + id; // Series0, Series1, Series2,etc

// extract the number after Series
var str:String =
e.hitData.chartItem.element.name.substr(SeriesName.length,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Custom Cursors causing slowdown
On that thought I was just wondering if it was possible to use the ExternalInterface to do this? By maybe setting a classname on the Flash object via JavaScript... hm Already tried that (there's another thread where I raise this issue). The Flash Player dictates it's own cursor and CSS doesn't seem to apply. I thought it was a brilliant idea for a hack, though! I was wondering if anyone knew of an official source of browser cursors, say what Firefox uses across platforms (though they just may be the native equivalents). CSS references always contain example images, but I'm unsure about just snagging those for legal reasons. Googling didn't really provide anything useful. Troy.

Now, the bitmap *will* be available in the loaders content

bytearray that it will be *immediately* available. Or you will be sad
and confused, as was I :)
No, the bitmap will only be available once the
loader.contentLoaderInfo complete event fires.
So, add an event listener for the complete event :
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener
(Event.COMPLETE,loaderCompleteHandler);
Then get the bitmap from the loader at that point in time :
private function loaderCompleteHandler(event:Event)
{
var loader:Loader = event.target as Loader;
var bmp:Bitmap = Bitmap(loader.content);
// do something with bmp here, such as displaying it.
}
I'm not sure if the image component now will take a byteArray
directly, there was some talk of it a few months back so it may have
got added to the flex 3 code.

Re: [flexcoders] Letting parents handle drag events
Is there a reason you can't use capture phase listeners? I definitely can, and that's the solution I'm going to use. It just didn't occur to me because: a) I was working in MXML and was just attaching listeners using attributes. b) DragEvent inherits from MouseEvent, which to me at least, implies that it behaves like MouseEvent, which means a default of bubbling (even though the MouseEvent constructor indicates the default is to not bubble, which I assume is just in keeping with Event's constructor's default arguments). So, my problem is now solved... I just think both of these issues should be raised somewhere officially so others don't bang their head on it quite as much as I did. The two points that need to be made: - MXML event attributes are added with the defaults, which means *not* the capture phase. - DragEvents don't bubble like MouseEvents, so if you need to get them higher up the hierarchy you have to capture them.

[flexcoders] Re: Building XML out of an Array Collection
I gotcha! So what about adding children to that xml node? Do you
treat it just like a string or something? so If I wanted to add a
child to that node would it be something like this:
var newNode:XML = myNode label={yourCollection[n][label]} id={
yourCollection[n][id]}
newNode = newNode + myNode label={yourCollection[n][label]} id={
yourCollection[n][id]}/
I thought I saw some method called append in xml. I was hoping I
could create XMLNode(s) and do something like newNode.append(myNewXMLNode)
thanks for responding so fast!

RE: [flexcoders] Pass Variables and then run a command
Timgerr, your code is assigning the value vsTop.selectedChild =
register to the String _runStackChild, but the expression statement
_runStackChild;
doesn't cause this string to execute... it simply causes the Player to
evaluate this (trivial) expression, which doesn't accomplish anything.
It's like writing
var s:String = Hello;
s;
Alex showed you one approach, but it's probably a more complicated
solution than you need. Rather than specifying things like
which-viewstack and which-state by name, you should be specifying them
using object references. For example, you could simply write
mx:Button id=btnOne click=vsTop.selectedChild = register/
or, if you really want a helper method like ChangeState(), do this
mx:Button id=btnOne click=ChangeState(vsTop, register)/
public function ChangeState(vs:ViewStack, state:Container):void
{
vs.selectedChild = state;
}
Also, you seem to be using instance vars needlessly when you could
simply use local vars.

Subject: [flexcoders] Pass Variables and then run a command
Hey all, I am new with flex, coming from JavaScript and perl.
I am writing an application that will have lots of MXML components
like a login component, register component and many more. The problem
is I am trying to have all the components talk to each other, I am
having trouble doing that. This is my problem, I have a viewStack and
I created a method like this
private var _stackName:String;
private var _stateName:String;
private var _runStackChild:String;
public function ChangeState(stackName:String, stateName:String)void
{
_stackName = stackName;
_stateName = stateName;
_runStackChild = _stackName + .selectedChild = + _stateName ;
_runStackChild;
}
mx:Button id=btnOne click=ChangeState('vsTop','register');
So when I click the button the mothod ChangeState is called and passed
are the 2 variables. At the end ChangeState should run the command
vsTop.selectedChild = register;
If I clear the method and just add vsTop.selectedChild = register;,
the stack is changed, but when I run _runStackChild; nothing hapends.
What am I missing???

Re: [flexcoders] Re: graphics object seems to degrade performance
You could use the getTimer() function. (It's a function of the flash.utils package: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/flash/utils/package.html).

[flexcoders] Re: Bind to Dynamic Component or Panel
Oscar, Thanks for that. That is basically exactly what I needed. The one problem I am running into is that I want my panels to be only 3 wide on the page and I have 12 entries in the DB. So I am creating a page 3 panels wide and 4 panels down. To do this I create a new HBOX every 3rd Panel. so I need a way to figure out which HBOX the panel is in. Then I can do HBOX3.getChildByName(My Panel) The way I am starting to do this is by creating an array collection that keeps the Panel Names and the childIndex for the HBOX and the Panel. What would be nice is if you had a Canvas and and it didn't matter how many levels deep the panel was (i.e the panel had a global bindable name) Then you could do Canvas.getChildByName. I can post code if that doesn't make sense.

Depending on the dot net webservice, you might only need to change

I am consuming dot net webservices this way. The WS code
response.writes a DataTable, and .net serializes it into XML

I would instead advise that when you create the child, you place a reference to it in some kind of dictionary structure, like an array, an associative array(object), or dictionary. Use that reference to access public members, add event listeners, etc. You will not need to worry about where it is in the dom.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Compenents, how to make them talk
Below is a discussion of inter-component communication. I never
polished it up, but it will be some value anyway.
Tracy
Communicating between Components:
Note: for loose coupling use events. But that is another topic.
A non-trivial flex application is component based. While all of the
built-in controls are components, the question of communicating
between components most often arises when you are using a custom
component. A custom component, whether implemented in mxml or
ActionScript, has its own scope. Within that component (Application
is a component too!), all sibling child controls share the same
scope, so you can refer to controls by their id. If the controls
(components) have public properties or methods, you can reference
those members directly through the id:
mx:TextInput id=textinput1 text=test value .../
mx:Text id=text1 ... text={textinput1.text} .../
Ok, so far, its a duh right?
When you use custom components in a Flex app, at run time they make a
document object model hierarchy (DOM). Each subcomponent has its own
scope and code within that component can't *directly* reference the
member properties or methods of its sibling subcomponents.
So again, within a component, code can reference children directly,
as in the example above. But there are two other cases inherent in a
hierarchy. You might want to reference up, to get to public
members of the parent, grandparent, etc, or 'down, to get to
a grandchild.
Accessing members in the parent:
On an ordinary component DOM, you can reference the parent component
using the .parent property. Say that a control with id=textinput1
exists in the parent of the current component. then you could do:
mx:Text id=text1 ... text={parent.textinput1.text} .../
Accessing members in the main application:
Components can be nested, sometimes very deeply. If the reference
you want is all the way at the top-level, main application (the one
with the mx:Application tag), you could do
{parent.parent.parent.textinput1.text}, but you would have to count
the component levels just right. Instead, you can use
Application.application to get to that scope:
mx:Text id=text1 ...
text={Application.application.textinput1.text} .../
You can shoretn this style of reference by importing
mx.core.Application, and assigning Application.application to a
variable, like _app, the doing (_app.textinput1.text)
Accessing components of a child component (grandchildren):
Say that in this case, a child component has the TextInput control
you want to reference. First, make sure the child component has an
id:
myComp:MyCustomComp id=mycc1 .../
Then, in the same scope (the same component/file that
contains mycc1 above) you can say:
mx:Text id=text1 ... text={mycc1.textinput1.text} .../
Accessing a nested component:
As mentioned above you can go up the hierarchy
using parent.parent You can also go down the hirearchy using
id references:
mx:Text id=text1 ...
text={mycc1.mycc11.mycc.12.textinput1.text} .../
Additional notes:
If you are using SWFLoader to load an entire Application, you can
reference the immediate parent application using parentDocument.
You can also use Application.application to reach the main app, as
shown above.
Accessing members of an application loaded by SWFLoader is a bit more
complicated. See the example here:

Re: [flexcoders] A Question about Cairngorm?
It's really just a few steps:
1. Have your commands implement mx.rpc.IResponder, and define result
and fault methods in the command.
2. Call the service directly from the execute() method of the command.
3. When you call the service, it returns an ASyncToken, and you can
set the Command to act as the responder by setting token.addResponder(this).
So your command class will look something like this:
import mx.rpc.AsyncToken;
import mx.rpc.IResponder;
public class InitAppCommand implements ICommand, IResponder
{
public function InitAppCommand(event:CairngormEvent)
{
}
public function execute(event:CairngormEvent):void
{
var service:* = ServiceLocator.getInstance().getRemoteObject( myService )
;
var token:AsyncToken = service.someMethod();
token.addResponder(this);
}
public function result(data:Object):void
{
}
public function fault(info:Object):void
{
}
}

[flexcoders] Dynamically Resizing
Greetings, I'm new to flex coding and what I'm trying to do with my current project is automatically resize panes (canvases?) by mouse actions like mouseover. I need to use percentages because I want the total width to be 100% regardless of the browser size.

[flexcoders] Re: mx:List with itemRenderer
If you use the default code, you are stuck with the default behavior.
But go on and implement the handlers yourself. It is really pretty
easy once you get the hang of it, and you have complete control over
what happens and when, and how it looks. I just did this a few days
ago.
There are good examples in the docs. Below is one of my handlers as
an example.

Doing it on addedToStage event somehow doesn't work well for my

This prevents the crashing problem completely.

Re: [flexcoders] Collections with common source
Thanks. I also have a couple of cases involving stacked column series, where I wonder if I should build a custom implementation of IList or ICollectionView. eg. the raw data has an integer (representing an enum). There is a column series for each enum value. I can either use the filter technique to make a data provider corresponding to each value of the enum. Or I can have a single custom collection which returns an object with a property for each value of the enum, and use yField. Any experience reports on the relative efficiency of these two approaches would be much appreciated. I find myself wishing collections supported a mapper function in addition to a filter function.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: AIR: Forcing a file to be opened By OS Default Application
Understandably Adobe is feeling rather conservative about this sort of thing. The last thing we as developers would want is an abuse of the AIR runtime which sullies its reputation. So we're getting a certain sandbox to play in. However, opening a document file such as a word doc, pdf or excel spreadsheet is a normal every day activity. The OS and the user already have responsibility to ensure that they are not accessing malicious content. IMO, letting AIR have a somewhat larger sandbox by passing to the OS a request to open files would be a huge step forward and make the user experience significantly better. For example, the AIR application I just built downloads data entitlements to a user's machine. Once downloaded, the user needs to navigate to that directory using the OS to open the files. It would be nice to not requre all that additional work on the part of the user.

[flexcoders] Redirects and popup blockers
I've been wrestling with this and can't find a solution that seems to work as consistently as what others have found...

I don't care if it pops up a new window (target=_blank) or replaces the current (target=_top). My problem is that whichever I choose seems to trigger the popup blocker in different situations on different browsers. Is there a good universal way to give the user a link inside of Flex that functions equivalently (when clicked) to a link on the surrounding webpage? Troy.
[flexcoders] BlazeDS/LCDS on Glassfish (TomcatLoginCommand issue)
Hi, I've been using BlazeDS/LCDS on Glassfish without issues until now. I'm attempting to enable custom authentication using TomcatLoginCommand In order for Tomcat valves to work with Glassfish I had to make modifications to TomcatValve4150 described here: http://wiki.glassfish.java.net/Wiki.jsp?page=FaqTomcatValveConversion That compiled and deployed without problems, I even added logging code to verify the valve is executed each request. My final issue is when I execute ro.setCredentials(u,p) I get the following error on the server: External login command required. Please check your security configuration. I have also verified that TomcatLoginCommand.doAuthentication is not being executed. My security configuration is: security login-command class=flex.messaging.security.TomcatLoginCommand server=Glassfish/ security-constraint id=pos-access auth-methodCustom/auth-method roles rolesalesPerson/role /roles /security-constraint /security Has anyone been able to get custom authentication working with Glassfish? Thanks! Ryan Campbell
[flexcoders] Hide calendar for DateField
Is it possible to hide the datefield's calendar? I couldn't find a property. I tried hiding it with a little canvas but the halo to show the control has focus extends off to the right where the icon for the calendar is. Thanks!
[flexcoders] Hi there,
I dealt with this issue on my blog pretty extensively.. http://thesaj.wordpress.com/2008/02/12/the-nightmare-that-is-_blank-part-ii-help/ Here is an example of what I implemented for the browsers I was testing for (IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera on PC/Mac) http://www.easternstorm.net/sassie/example2/example2-swfobject2.html Note - in my personal usage, I broke up the example into two classes. One for browser detection and one for _blank issues. Note, there are a few caveats: allowScriptAccess needs to be set to always wmode needs to be set to either transparent or opaque - Jason
[flexcoders] question about working with SessionIDs and FDS
Hello all. we are still using fds.swc in our with current customer installs. One customer needs us to use sessionIDs on server calls. We have updated all the remoteObject calls, but I am having issues with the DataServices.fill command. is there a way to dynamically insert the server's sessionID into the fill command? Currently we keep the sessionID inside a userSession object which is bound to the modelLocator for easy access. Any advice would be a big help. thanks Jeff

Here's a gallery of the default cursors for Windows (IE Firefox) for the various CSS properties: http://webdesign.about.com/od/styleproperties/ig/CSS-Cursors-Gallery/ --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, dave_defusion [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yeah it'd be nice if we could get hold of them and then maybe we could put together a cross browser/cross OS facade for using the default custom cursors that are defined in CSS 2 - at least that way they wouldn't stand out too much. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Troy Gilbert troy.gilbert@ wrote: On that thought I was just wondering if it was possible to use the ExternalInterface to do this? By maybe setting a classname on the Flash object via JavaScript... hm Already tried that (there's another thread where I raise this issue). The Flash Player dictates it's own cursor and CSS doesn't seem to apply. I thought it was a brilliant idea for a hack, though! I was wondering if anyone knew of an official source of browser cursors, say what Firefox uses across platforms (though they just may be the native equivalents). CSS references always contain example images, but I'm unsure about just snagging those for legal reasons. Googling didn't really provide anything useful. Troy.

Instead of server=Glassfish, can you try server=all and let us know if there's anything different? thanks, Mete --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, cyberscriptnet [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I've been using BlazeDS/LCDS on Glassfish without issues until now.

RE: [flexcoders] Click Lite: The right click now. But not now?
In MXML, click=Foo(2) really generates the following code:
private function btnFoo_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
Foo(2);
}
btnFoo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnFoo_clickHandler);
What you tried to do in AS was set the listener to be the result of a
call to Foo(2)

Why does click work here?
mx:Button id=btnFoo label=Foo x 2 click=Foo(2)/
But not here?
btnFoo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Foo(2));
Now, it's obviously Adobe has coded the button component to allow for
arguments to be passed via the click parameter. But we're not given
that same privilege when using just AS3.
But obviously, they must have already coded this functionality. I'd
rather not have to re-invent the horse. Any answers?
[flexcoders] Re: Hide calendar for DateField
I'm hoping to hide the icon as well, and reduce the size of the halo to just the size of the textbox area.
