[flexcoders] Re: Securely Interfacing Between Flex and Databases
I ask because security is not only a concern for my personal project, but also my employment responsibilities for my summer internship, so I want to hear how others deal with this issue.

This method works for me, but is there an easier way? More importantly, is there a SECURER way? I fear that having these PHP files is not only redundant but it also poses a security risk for SQL injections or a sniffing man-in-the-middle attack.

Throwing an error for objects of type DisplayObject is more of a saving developers from shooting themselves in the foot type of thing, which personally I'm no big fan of, but that's just the way it is now. It's unfortunate that it is prevented though, as my goal was to selectively display ViewStack children buttons (instead of a mere ViewStack binding that displays buttons for each child), i.e.: ButtonBar id=buttons/ ViewStack id=vs custom:Chart id=chart icons=/ custom:Grid id=grid icons=.../ custom:Form id=form/ !-- The buttonbar must NOT be able to select this child -- /ViewStack I wanted my button bar not to show the form button. Wrapping the view stack children into an array of plain objects is the only way to do that, from what I know. Perhaps this would be cool: ButtonBar id=buttons/ ViewStack id=vs custom:Chart id=chart icons=/ custom:Grid id=grid icons=.../ custom:Form id=form includeInNavigation=false / /ViewStack i.e. a property that can mark a view to not be included in any navigator controls. But I think another way to achieve that is to simply not add the view to the view stack. You can use states to declaratively add the form view only later when the application switches to that state.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How do I dispatch an everything PropertyChangeEvent on this?
I've done it that way before, although sometimes its better to create an
updateAll() method, because now all of your bindings will fire when a
single property changes since your entire class is Bindable on the same
event. Just depends on exactly what the use case is, if your class is set up
with the default Binding events you could use describeType in your updateAll
method to dispatch a PropertyChangeEvent for each property in your class.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: invalid column widths in DG before render.
I am sorry, I don't know what I was thinking. DataGrid does indeed not have a creation policy. I am not sure which event will help you here. When I have some more time, I will see if I can find out. There is some time between setting the dataprovider and the columns having the correct width. You could try the change event, but I am not sure if that is of any help.

Re: [flexcoders] Trying to apply scale9grid to an image loaded at runtime
Scale-9 only works if parts of the image are fully within each of the 9 slices of the scale-9 grid. Which means that you'll have to separate your image into 9 different segments before applying the scale-9 grid, providing the grid 'lines and the 9 sections of the image match up precisely. You can do this the painful way by slicing up your image into 9 parts and importing each separately, or using BitmapData to do the same, which is more code involved. As for scale-9 for vectors, you might be interested in an article I wrote about using scale-9 for Flex skins: http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=6C7D2 Hope that helps, ___ Joseph Balderson | http://joeflash.ca Flex Flash Platform Developer | Abobe Certified Developer Trainer Author, Professional Flex 3 (coming Winter 2008) Staff Writer, Community MX | http://communitymx.com/author.cfm?cid=4674 Tom Bray wrote: I need to be able to load an image, allow the user to specify the scale9grid values, and then scale the image.

[flexcoders] Re: LinkBar Question, How to get LinkBar item details programmatically?
I want to read the content of the dataprovider when contextMenu
appear.
I get the information about the link (URL to open) on mouse click
like below, to open the link in external browser window.
//When user clicks link, pass execution to JavaScript function on
hosting page.
linkbar.addEventListener(ItemClickEvent.ITEM_CLICK, function
(event:ItemClickEvent):void{
var prod:Product = event.item as Product;
if (prod != null ExternalInterface.available) {
ExternalInterface.call
(launchExternalProduct, prod.id, prod.ssoEntryUri);
}
});
prod.id is the name of the product and prod.ssoEntryUri is the
product URL.
How do I get the same information on ContextMenu (Right Click). My
linkbar and buttons are created like this
private function initLinkBar(): void
{
var linkbar:LinkBar = new LinkBar();
linkbar.dataProvider = this.externalProducts.toArray();
linkbar.id =testlink;
linkbar.addEventListener(ItemClickEvent.ITEM_CLICK, function
(event:ItemClickEvent):void{
var prod:Product = event.item as Product;
if (prod != null ExternalInterface.available) {
ExternalInterface.call
(launchExternalProduct, prod.id, prod.ssoEntryUri);
}
});
cb.height =40;
cb.addChild(linkbar);
}

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How do I dispatch an everything PropertyChangeEvent on this?
I don't usually make an entire class Bindable on a single event like you
posted earlier, so I'm not 100% on this, but I'm pretty sure it won't
auto-generate that event for you in your setters, so you would have to
dispatch it manually, with the side effect that all of your other bindings
would fire as well. I usually go the route of using the default Bindable
event and then using describeType in my updateAll to generate the
propertyChangeEvent so that I can still fire individual bindings without the
overhead.
I also cache the result of the describeType so that it will only happen once
on each qualified class name as that method can be pretty heavy.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How do I dispatch an everything PropertyChangeEvent on this?
This is for a DTO that inherits some fairly complicated describeType-based
auto-populate voodoo. It's already statically caching describeType info
(based on a getQualifiedClassName key), so that's no worry, and I've already
got all the info required for generating field-level change events as I go
through. I might refactor it and go back to those events when I get some
time. It needs to have some functionality pulled out into a generic
reflection util class anyway eventually :)

[flexcoders] Bindable tag question
Hi,
I have been using Bindable tag for data providers in datagrid, list
etc. The doc states that this ensures that the destination datagrid
would reflect the change when the dataprovider is changed. But I have
observed that even if I do not use the Bindable tag the datagrid is
still updated when the dataprovider changes. Here is a simple example:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
/*Bindable tag not added. Flex Builder gives a warning when
the variable is referenced in the datagrid but it still works.*/
private var dp:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([{index:1,
word:Test1},{index:2, word:Test2}])
public function changeDataProvider():void
{
var obj1:Object = new Object();
obj1[index] = 1;
obj1[word] = Modified Test1;
dp.setItemAt(obj1,0);
var obj2:Object = new Object();
obj2[index] = 3;
obj2[word] = Test3;
dp.addItem(obj2);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:VBox
mx:DataGrid dataProvider={dp}/
mx:Button click=changeDataProvider() label=Change data/
/mx:VBox
/mx:Application
In the above example the datagrid changes on the button click. Please
let me know if I am missing somthing.

I didn't run the code, but by looking at it, the selectableRange is

Is that explainable ?

Subject: [flexcoders] DateChooser setting displayedMonth,
displayedYear
does nothing
Hi,
I have a DateChooser in a popUp window. If I set the displayedMonth
and
displayedYear
properties on that DateChooser (after creating the popup), nothing
happens. The display is
still on the month and year previously selected/displayed. Does
anybody
have an idea ?
code (parent comp):
_datePickerWin =
DateRangerPopUp(PopUpManager.createPopUp(Application.application as
DisplayObject, DateRangerPopUp, true));
_datePickerWin.compDateRange = _dateRange;
code (DateRangerPopup):
public function set compDateRange(dateRange:Array):void
{
_compDateRange = dateRange;
dateChooser.selectedRanges = [ {rangeStart: _compDateRange[0],
rangeEnd:
_compDateRange[1] }];
dateChooser.displayedMonth = _compDateRange[1].month;
dateChooser.displayedYear = _compDateRange[1].fullYear;
Thank's rico
Re: [flexcoders] Bindable tag question
If you call addItem(), updateItem(), etc, the PropertyChangedEvent is
dispatched by the IList implementor (ie, ArrayCollection).
But, if you have an IList of objects, and you do this:
var company : Company = companyList.getItemAt(3) as Company;
company.name = New name;
then you'll only get the new data on screen if Company (or Company.name) is
marked [Bindable]
When you call the modifying methods on the dataprovider itself, then the
change is marked as happening on the IList (and it dispatches the
PropertyChangedEvent). But if you change the content of an object contained
within that list, nobody knows about it unless you add the [Bindable].
[Bindable] is a compile-time decorator that dispatches the events on your
behalf.
If I'm making things muddier rather than clearer with that, let me know ;-)

Hi,
I have been using Bindable tag for data providers in datagrid, list
etc. The doc states that this ensures that the destination datagrid
would reflect the change when the dataprovider is changed. But I have
observed that even if I do not use the Bindable tag the datagrid is
still updated when the dataprovider changes. Here is a simple example:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
/*Bindable tag not added. Flex Builder gives a warning when
the variable is referenced in the datagrid but it still works.*/
private var dp:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([{index:1,
word:Test1},{index:2, word:Test2}])
public function changeDataProvider():void
{
var obj1:Object = new Object();
obj1[index] = 1;
obj1[word] = Modified Test1;
dp.setItemAt(obj1,0);
var obj2:Object = new Object();
obj2[index] = 3;
obj2[word] = Test3;
dp.addItem(obj2);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:VBox
mx:DataGrid dataProvider={dp}/
mx:Button click=changeDataProvider() label=Change data/
/mx:VBox
/mx:Application
In the above example the datagrid changes on the button click. Please
let me know if I am missing somthing.

RE: [flexcoders] TabBar and percentage width
Please post a test case. From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Amy Sent: Friday, May 16, 2008 4:04 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] TabBar and percentage width Hi, all; I have a tabbar that is in an HBox that is in an Application. The TabBar and the HBox are both set to 100%. If the window is wider than the natural width of the tabbar and I then resize it, then everything works as expected...the tab labels will truncate and everything will squish together to reflect the change. If I then close the browser at that width and relaunch the app, the tabs are all full size and extend off the edge of the page with no way to get to them (unless you resize the browser window). Is this expected behavior? TIA; Amy
[flexcoders] [ArrayElementType] warning
Hey guys, I'm getting this on MXML files referring to classes using
[ArrayElementType] rather than in the classes themselves:
[ArrayElementType](CompositeMapping)]: type CompositeMapping is unavailable.
The CompositeMapping class is definitely referenced from the MXML file
though:
dao:CompositeDTO id=sppAggregate
dao:mappings
dao:CompositeMapping name=salaryPackagePayment dto={ payment
}/
/dao:mappings
/dao:CompositeDTO
CompositeDTO.mappings is defined thus:
[ArrayElementType(CompositeMapping)]
public function set mappings(v : Array) : void { _mappings = v; }
Should I not be decorating the setter method? Builder seems to understand
and puts CompositeMapping at the top of the auto-complete popup when I'm
entering the MXML.
Obviously not immediately pressing, but I don't like warnings I don't
understand, as it often means something's going to bite me in the near
future ;-)
Ideas?
Cheers,
-J

[flexcoders] talk from one swf to another
Hi. Im using blazeds and a java backend. I have a swf that updates stuff on the server and thus in the database. My question is: Is it possible to have a second swf (using blazeds) that will listen for or subscribe to changes on a server object and have the server object push changes to the subscribed object. IOW. I want to have one swf respond to changes made with a different swf. Thanks. Kind regards. Luke. -- Luke Vanderfluit Analyst / Web Programmer e3Learning.com.au 08 8221 6422
Re: [flexcoders] talk from one swf to another
It sounds like you're looking for Adobe's Data Management feature (FDS/LCDS) which was not included in BlazeDS. The functionality of Data Management's client-side data synchronization can however be simulated using a messaging framework.
