[flexcoders] Drag and Drop question
If i'm dragging an element from one tree to another. How do i get the updated xml of the tree i'm dragging off? For instance TREE 1 - Element 1 - Element 2 TREE 2 if i get the xml from tree 1 it would be something like root element label=Element 1 / element label=Element 2 / /root but if i drag the Element 1 into the TREE 2 i want to get the xml without the Element 1, without that node. i'm trying to get it creating a handler for dragDrop attribute on the Tree 2, but everytime i get it the items are not updated. Anyone know how to get the updated xml that tree 1 will have after i drop the element? Please... this is killing me =/ Thanks
Re: [flexcoders] Drag and Drop question
I'm fairly certain that there's no voodoo to automatically delete nodes from your XML, you need to do that yourself in your drop handler. -J On Thu, May 1, 2008 at 4:36 PM, Rafael Faria [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If i'm dragging an element from one tree to another.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Drag and Drop question
It makes sense to me that you would. Drag and drop is a visual operation, not a data operation, and in no way does it always mean that you're removing something from the first list. For an example think of the components palette in Builder. There might be some way to enable the sort of automatic behavior you're talking about, but I doubt it. Drag and drop isn't just for components bound to an array / IList - you can use it with any component you like. -J On Thu, May 1, 2008 at 5:24 PM, Rafael Faria [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If im moving the object i would assume it will not be in the tree 1 anymore... anyone would help me how do i drag from tree 1, drop on tree 2 and after i drop i get the elements on tree 1 without the one i just dropped on tree 2? should this be that painfull? do i have to delete manually?!

[flexcoders] ROLL_OVER on Componeont does not bubble? HOW??
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could point me at how to archive the folloing. I make some boxes in Flex as a time line. But use a label component on top... The Label componeont blocks the roll_over event on the boxes... I want the label to ignore the ROLL_OVER event, and let the BOX under it handle it. How do I do this? Thanks, James

[flexcoders] HTTPService and Browser Differences
Hi All, As I continue my Flex education I've come across an issue in my first production application. I'm using ROR along with Flex and passing XML back and forth, etc. I've learned a bunch via Flex Solutions, Flex on Rails, and Training from the Source, etc. The issue I'm having seems to be caused by differences in IE and FF and how they handle responses from HTTPService calls. By using CharlesProxy I can see that everything works great in FF but they don't when using IE. I was hoping to remove all the cross-browser issues by moving to flex. :-) Anyway, I'm doing something like this: 1) Create a new record via HTTPService-POST\record.xml 2) The new record is created and an event is fired so that the existing record list can be refreshed. 3) HTTPService-GET\record.xml 4) Grid in the List component is refreshed with the additional record. Everything works great in FF and I can see both the POST and GET along with the returned XML item, and then list. On IE (v6), however, only the POST goes through and it seems like it is caching the result from the POST and using as the result for the GET, thereby making my list just a list of one, the most recently created record. Though, this doesn're really work either as it doesn't have the surrounding records type=array element. Anyway, I'm sure there is something I am missing with this new Flex development so I'm hoping you all can direct me to some specific reading to help me understand the major behavior differences between the browsers when using Flex, etc. Thanks much, Tom
[flexcoders] error with old flex data service code
I have some code that was created a couple years ago, when flex data
services was young. I am trying to use it now, but can't seem to get
the java files working. I am having trouble in particular with the
ChatAdapter file:

public class ChatAdapter extends ServiceAdapter implements
FlexSessionListener {
private Map sessions;
private String clientId = UUIDUtils.createUUID(false);
public ChatAdapter() {
sessions = Collections.synchronizedMap(new HashMap());
FlexSession.addSessionCreatedListener(this);
}
public Object invoke(Message message) {
// Get Session Id
FlexSession flexSession = FlexContext.getFlexSession();
String sessionId = flexSession.getId();
// Check if Session Id is already registered in HashMap
if (!sessions.containsKey(sessionId)) {
// Get User Id from message body
Map body = (Map) message.getBody();
String userId = (String) body.get(userId);
// Register session / userId mapping
System.out.println(*** Registering + userId
+ + sessionId);
sessions.put(sessionId, userId);
}
MessageService msgService = (MessageService) service;
msgService.pushMessageToClients(message, true);
return null;
}
public void sessionCreated(FlexSession session) {
session.addSessionDestroyedListener(this);
}
public void sessionDestroyed(FlexSession session) {
// Get User Id associated with Session Id
String userId = (String) sessions.get(session.getId());
System.out.println(*** Removing + userId + +
session.getId());
// Notify interested parties
pushStatus(userId, disconnected);
// Remove Session Id / User Id mapping
sessions.remove(session.getId());
}
private void pushStatus(String userId, String status) {
MessageService msgService = (MessageService) service;
AsyncMessage msg = new AsyncMessage();
msg.setDestination(chat);
msg.setHeader(DSSubtopic, status. + userId);
Map body = new HashMap();
body.put(userId, userId);
body.put(status, status);
msg.setBody(body);
msg.setClientId(clientId);
msg.setMessageId(UUIDUtils.createUUID(false));
msg.setTimestamp(System.currentTimeMillis());
msgService.pushMessageToClients(msg, false);
}
}
The lines that read:
MessageService msgService = (MessageService) service;
throw compile time errors. I believe that the flex-messaging.jar that
comes with LiveCycle Data Services ES may be different than the
version that shipped with Flex data Services, but that is only
speculation, since I can't seem to find a copy of the older file to
look at. I'm not sure how to correct this file to work with the
current release. Any help would be much appreciated.

How can I remove those children and replot the child with new set of dataprovider? Regards...
[flexcoders] Re: Extending Alert
I believe this is a restriction brought on by the Adobe developers.
You cannot do this in MXML:
mx:Panel id=panel
mx:Alert
/mx:Alert
/mx:Panel
If you try to compile, you will get this message:
Could not resolve mx:Alert to a component implementation.
To instantiate an Alert in MXML the proper coding would be:
mx:Panel id=panel
mx:Button click=mx.controls.Alert.show('hello')/
/mx:Panel
Basically I would like to create a similar component that would be
used for configuring some task modally and presumably extending it
off the Alert or TitleWindow component.

[flexcoders] Flex3 UIComponents not dispatching addremove events when loaded within Modules
I ran across this anomaly and wonder if anyone else has encountered it and what a possible solution would be. I am trying to create a scenario whereby when a UIComponent becomes visible (loaded as part of a (application) viewstate change), it registers listeners to certain events, and when it becomes invisible (the viewstate changes so it is not in the active view anymore), it unregisters those listeners. This works all and well with the add and remove attributes for a given UIComponent mxml definition, _except_ when that component is dynamically loaded into the application in the content of a mx:Module. For some reason, the events (mx.events.FlexEvent.ADD and mx.events.FlexEvent.REMOVE) are either never dispatched or never received by the handler in the very same UIComponent subclass that changes visibility and registers the listener. Any explanation or suggestion on how to detect UIComponent visibility (to the user) in this case would be really appreciated, thanks, vx

I have some code that was created a couple years ago, when flex data

ChatAdapter file:
package chat;

sessions = Collections.synchronizedMap(new HashMap());
FlexSession.addSessionCreatedListener(this);
}
public Object invoke(Message message) {
// Get Session Id
FlexSession flexSession = FlexContext.getFlexSession();
String sessionId = flexSession.getId();
// Check if Session Id is already registered in HashMap
if (!sessions.containsKey(sessionId)) {

String userId = (String) body.get(userId);

}
MessageService msgService = (MessageService) service;

return null;
}
public void sessionCreated(FlexSession session) {
session.addSessionDestroyedListener(this);
}
public void sessionDestroyed(FlexSession session) {

The lines that read:
MessageService msgService = (MessageService) service;
throw compile time errors. I believe that the flex-messaging.jar that
comes with LiveCycle Data Services ES may be different than the
version that shipped with Flex data Services, but that is only
speculation, since I can't seem to find a copy of the older file to
look at. I'm not sure how to correct this file to work with the
current release. Any help would be much appreciated.
[flexcoders] Animation Delays...
I'm working on a project with a lot of animation. I've noticed when I do something that causes animation - the first instance the animation runs, it seems to load something - though there's nothing to be loaded - no processing, etc. With this delay, it skips to the point in the animation where it would have been had it not been delayed - so for short animations (menu popups, etc), there is no animation the first time it's run. Every instace the animation runs after the first time works great and does what it should. Any ideas? -Nathan
Re: [flexcoders] Flex3 UIComponents not dispatching addremove events when loaded within Modules
I bet it's some named law that an explanation presents itself right after you have left all hope and posted a public cry for help. In case the UIComponent is part of a Flex Module, it is the module itself that dispatches the FlexEvent.REMOVE, since it is the hierarchically topmost element that gets removed. Now this makes sense at least, although how to propagate this knowledge of removal down to the component that I need, still needs solving. vx - Original Message From: mrvx23 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, May 1, 2008 5:59:22 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Flex3 UIComponents not dispatching addremove events when loaded within Modules I ran across this anomaly and wonder if anyone else has encountered it and what a possible solution would be.

[flexcoders] DataGrid and exporting values
Like a lot of people, I've been wanting to export values out of a
data grid and into a file. I decided that I didn't want to go with
the round trip to the server.
Instead, I use the ExternalInterface to call a js function that opens
a new window and writes the values into a HTML table (uses js and the
DOM). I have a copy all button that selects the table and copies
it to the clip board. The user has to just then open Excel and
hit paste.
Slick, or so I thought.
I'm having performance issues -- any table of decent size takes
forever to write to the window.
The js that is doing the heavy lifting is:
for (i=0; i data.length; i++){
j = 0;
var newRow = winTable.insertRow(-1);
for (j; j data[i].length; j++){
var newCell = newRow.insertCell(j);
var newText = win.document.createTextNode(data[i][j]);
newCell.appendChild(newText);
}
}
Does anyone have suggestions on what I can do to speed this up?
Thanks
Dominic
PS Once I have this in decent working order, I will be happy post all
the code.

There was a thread sometime ago about performance problems with large

Why not skip that part. You could generate the HTML in Flex and put it
on the clipboard directly using System.setClipboard(sHTML);

The lines that read:
MessageService msgService = (MessageService) service;
throw compile time errors. I believe that the flex-messaging.jar that
comes with LiveCycle Data Services ES may be different than the
version that shipped with Flex data Services, but that is only
speculation, since I can't seem to find a copy of the older file to
look at. I'm not sure how to correct this file to work with the
current release. Any help would be much appreciated.

[flexcoders] SOT: ColdFusion backend for Flex, what the heck am i doing wrong...
i see nothing in the CF community about this and since many here have CF for
their back-end apps I figured I'd give it a try.
I'm using CF7 standard on the backend and communicating to my CFC's with
remote object. The problem I've had for months now is every now and then
the onApplicationStart and onSessionStart methods stop firing in my
Application.cfc when a Flex request comes in. It actually appears to ignore
the Application.cfc altogether. The reason I suspect this is because none
of my application or session variables exist in my CFC's when this problem
happens, aren't those functions supposed to fire automatically? What would
cause them not to?
A restart of the server might fix it, might not- i never know until i tinker
with the CFC's and application.cfc file settings until it magically starts
working again. Then a few days later, it's back again. The relevant parts
of my application.cfc are pasted below- has anyone ever seen behavior like
this???

[flexcoders] Flex Flash Animation slowdown woes and Long(!) Flex Builder Build Times
Hi Group, We are building a large, complex, highly-skinned Flex site with maybe 30 modules and maybe 100 flash components built with the kit. Our performance on flash-animated graphics throughout the site is terrible right now and we're researching how to optimize to make the animations smooth and site experience as liquid as the individual flash components appear when they are compiled in flash. We'd appreciate any info or resources that would help with this task. We are also experiencing impossibly long build times in Flex Builder 3 and looking into how to make this large project build more quickly. It seems like FB is deleting the binary resources (mp3s, flas, images) in our previous build may be a big part of the holdup. Is there a good way to separate binary things from the sources so that they don't have to be continually copied over and deleted every time we build? Thankyou PUNY dev team
[flexcoders] E4X vs Array Collection
What's faster, E4X or array collections with typed classes? I can have my data nested three levels in XML or I can have it pretty flat in an array collection. I'll be using this data with graphs, but will also be do analysis of the selected area on the graph. Thanks, Nate

[flexcoders] Cairngorm - always event, always command?
pseudocode:

function getuserIP():String{

But Cairngorm encapsulates actions into commands which are driven by
an event and a delegate. So how does it handle examples like the one

creationComplete, and use the standard command/delegate path. If the
event is not necessary, and it still makes sense to put the action
in a command, how would that command get activated without the
Cairngorm event process? I know what I mean grin. TIA,

Re: [flexcoders] SOT: ColdFusion backend for Flex, what the heck am i doing wrong...
I thought that the application.cfc was ignored for Flex Remoting
requests. I have no idea why I think that, though, especially since it
is documented that OnRequest can interfere with Flex remoting requests.
I'll add that, I think it's a very bad idea to have Remote use CFCs
that rely on shared scope variables, such as session.
Derrick Anderson wrote:

I'm using CF7 standard on the backend and communicating to my CFC's with

then the onApplicationStart and onSessionStart methods stop firing in my

because none of my application or session variables exist in my CFC's

Still, I don't know why you've got such a difference in your case.
I am using the following thing:
override public function set text(val:String)
{
super.text = val;
for (var i:uint = 0; i super.text.length; i++)
{
if (super.text.charAt(i) == '\r' || super.text.charAt(i) == '\n')
{
m_iParagraphNo++;
}

and then use iParagraphNo in set height() - adding the corresponding
number of extra lines.

RE: [flexcoders] Cairngorm - always event, always command?
I can't see how you'd benefit from sidestepping the cairngorm event - command
way of working in this case.
If you use a service to get the IP address then it's asynchronous, and has a
few possible outcomes.
I can't see why you wouldn't want to wait for it's got one of those results or
an error event and then deal with the outcome.
Which is where the cairngorm way of doing things is really helpful.
If it's synchronous (like opening a database or prefs file in AIR, say), then
you could maybe skip cairngorm (I do, and get away with it, mostly).
In which case I can't see the benefit of thinking of (or packaging ) it as a
cairngorm command. I'd rather put it somewhere else and know it was a different
thing.
But what I've found most of the time is that if you're going to do a cairngorm
app then it's really worth going with the flow and doing pretty well everything
that way,
even if it does mean writing 3 classes when you could get away with a local
method.
Generally, when I've made short cuts like that it's come back and bitten me on
the arse.
I do still do it when I'm in experimental/creative or lazy mode, but now I'll
try to refactor it into the cairngorm way sooner rather than later.
Which is sometimes a bit boring, but there you go.
Hope that makes (at least some) sense!

Re: [flexcoders] E4X vs Array Collection
It doesn't get any faster than a typed class as far as data access, but there are some things to think about. To get the data into the typed class you have to parse the XML at some point, so it will probably come down to how often each property is accessed. If you're only going to hit each property once or twice, probably not worth a typed class as far as speed goes. I always use typed classes for code readability, code hinting, maintenance, etc, but some people don't like having to write a VO for each object they'll get back from the server.

contains is an object comparison, so it is by reference except when dealing with primitives I believe.

[flexcoders] Weird list item height problem.
Hey guys,
I googled this and can't seem to find where I'm going wrong. I've got a list
with an inline itemRenderer, with variableHeight turned on, but all
non-visible items are losing their height. What I mean is that when you
scroll down, all revealed items having standard list-item height, and when
you scroll back up, the ones that used to be alright are now also too short.
Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
Code below:
mx:List dataProvider={ tempNotes } id=existingNotes width=100%
maxHeight=400 variableRowHeight=true
mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
mx:VBox horizontalAlign=left
horizontalScrollPolicy=off width=100% verticalScrollPolicy=off
backgroundColor=#ee verticalGap=2
mx:Text width=100% text={data.text}
fontSize=9 fontStyle=italic/
mx:HBox horizontalGap=10
mx:Text text=From fontSize=9/
mx:Text fontWeight=bold
text={data.userId} fontSize=9/
mx:Text text=11-11-08 fontSize=9

Re: [flexcoders] Sort a List Comp?
The List is simply the view for your data. You need to sort the dataProvider
of the list so when the List is iterating over your data rendering it, it
will be accessing the data in the order specified.
I would pull the data from lastResult, store it in an ArrayCollection or
XMLListCollection(since it seems like you might be using XML), and then you
can set the Sort on the collection as specified in the docs:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/collections/Sort.html
Sort also allows you to set a custom compareFunction if you need more than a
simple ascending/descending sort on the dataFields.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Extending Alert
This peaked my interested and I quickly flipped through the Alert class to
see what was going on. Nothing really caught my attention so it seems like
this is enforced by the MXML compiler. I verified this by adding an Alert in
AS without using the static show funciton. In a simple test application I
added a button that called this:
var alert:Alert = new Alert();
addChild(alert);
An empty Alert window was added to the application. Seems kind of bizarre
the way this component works. Are there any other cases of flex components
extending UIComponent that aren't allowed to be instantiated through MXML?
One thing you could do is follow their pattern of having a class with a
static show() function. If you don't mind building the entire component in
ActionScript that function could create a TitleWindow/Panel, apply the
styles, add the children you want, and add the container to the application
or specified parent. As long as the class doing this isn't a UIComponent
itself, noone will be able to add it to a container in MXML.

You cannot do this in MXML:
mx:Panel id=panel
mx:Alert
/mx:Alert
/mx:Panel
If you try to compile, you will get this message:
Could not resolve mx:Alert to a component implementation.
To instantiate an Alert in MXML the proper coding would be:
mx:Panel id=panel
mx:Button click=mx.controls.Alert.show('hello')/
/mx:Panel
Basically I would like to create a similar component that would be
used for configuring some task modally and presumably extending it
off the Alert or TitleWindow component.

Why do you need to prevent usage through MXML? MXML is compiled

Subject: [flexcoders] Extending Alert
Date: Thu, 01 May 2008 14:18:55 -
How do I extend the Alert class such that the new class cannot be
created using MXML tags? Taking it a step further is it possible to
create an ActionScript class extended from Panel that cannot be
constructed using MXML tags?

[flexcoders] Switching between RTMP and HTTP
We are using RTMP as our main protocol and HTTP as a fall back. I have bunch of questions. 1. We observed that when RTMP fails, DataService in client automatically falls back to HTTP. But when RTMP comes back, it doesn't reconnects and continues with HTTP. Is there an API to do this (other then client attempting to connect periodically) 2. How does RTMP fall back on to RTMPT (Tunnel). Is there any configuration for this? 3. DataServiceTransaction doesn't seem to work in case of HTTP mode. Is there any work around to push data from server to client in case RTMP is not available. 4. When RTMP becomes unavailable, does message subscriber and publisher have to re- connect to server? Has anybody experienced these issues? WIll appreciate any quick help. -Shailesh
[flexcoders] Re: Drag and Drop question
The thing is ... if the dataprovider is blank and i drop some element there, i'm not able to retrieve it. For instance i create a tree 1 and i set the dataprovider root element label=test 1 / element label=test 2 / /root and create a second tree without any dataprovider. At the moment i drop an element to the second tree i even though it show the element there the dataprovider is blank. can you explain this? or how do i get what is there? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You still should be able to use dragComplete instead.

[flexcoders] How can i refresh the mx:XML runtime.
Hi Folks, I am working with the Dragndrop app. When i finished the dragndrop images to the canvas, i saved into the xml file. and also load into the canvas.

Subject: [flexcoders] itemFocusOut for dataGid ItemRenderer
Hi ,
I have a datagrid with some item renderers. I want to write a function that
will validate a number when the item lost its focus. But it seems that the item
calls the destroyItemEditor() which throws an error #1009. And this function is
called twice.
Thanks,

[flexcoders] Re: Drag and Drop question
So here is a example to what i'm talking about.
someone can tell me why:
1 - First test
on this example if i drag an item from a branch(NOT the WHOLE BRANCH)
from tree1 and drop to tree2, and than click on get elements from
tree 2 button. it shows nothing... and if you keep adding elements it
will show commas.
How could i get the elements in the first place, and why it is showing
the commas (apparently is behaving as an ArrayColletion but why?
although this is not what i need to get... i need to get the elements).
2 - Second test
If i drop the 2 branches that sits on the tree 1 and click to see what
dataprovider is on tree2, it show the elements but in between the commas.
i'm not sure what to do =/
someone help... what i need is to be able to drop fomr tree1 to tree2
and get an xml from tree2 with exactly the same structure that shows
the elemnets. is this possible?
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

[flexcoders] Re: How can i refresh the mx:XML runtime.
hi Swamy,
i'm not sure if i got that right, but you can try to use callLater
functin.
callLater(function():void { functionyouload() });
or set the dataprovider with the xml you load again.
like i said, it's not clear what you want, but i think that one of
those solution might work.
good lucky :p

[flexcoders] Re: How can i refresh the mx:XML runtime.
So, the data is saved to the file, but the tree's dataProvider isn't getting updated with the saved data. URLLoader is a type of HTTP service. If you want to refresh the data that persists in the client, you will probably want to make an aditional request for the data, after each transaction has been performed to the file. You say that you are loading to the canvas; but that may be where the flow is stopping. You are probably making the initial request on creationComplete; or some other component event. Are you making an additional request for the data after you update the file? Also, are you binding the result data of load request to the dataprovider of the tree? Casting works real well here. If so, the display will automatically refresh when the dataProvider is refreshed. -TH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Swamy Nathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Folks, I am working with the Dragndrop app. When i finished the dragndrop images to the canvas, i saved into the xml file. and also load into the canvas.

[flexcoders] ComboBox binding
ComboBox binding is driving me crazy.
[Bindable]
public var selectedGranularity:String;
mx:ComboBox id=granularityCombo dataProvider={source}
selectedIndex={findSelectedIndex(this.selectedGranularity)}
labelFunction=labelFunction /
If I set a breakpoint on selectedGranularity, it's setter is reached,
but the findSelectedIndex function does not trigger. Any obvious
mistakes?
