RE: [flexcoders] Math.abs() Limitation?
Number.MAX_VALUE doesn't have enough precision to handle what I was trying to do. What do you mean by this? A Number, being 64 bits, actually has both more precision and more range than int, which is 32 bits. For example, in addition to storing fractional values, it can store integers much larger than int.MAX_VALUE.

[flexcoders] Memory leak caused by Image and String objects
I have an application that makes use of 3 to 4 'Image' objects and quite a few labels. The memory grows enormously when an Image.load() occurs even though I have only one instance of the Image object at a time. (I need to execute the load() method since the image needs to be loaded dynamically). When run with the flex profiler, I observed that 'String' objects are consuming lot of memory and hence causing memory leaks. This results in the application crashing after running continuously for couple of hours in IE 7. Would really appreciate it if anyone has any suggestions on how to reduce the memory leak and improve performance.

I don't think you can do field.subField but you could use
labelFunctions to accomplish essentially the same thing. Heck, you
might even be able to set dataField = field.subField and then use a
generic labelFunction that does something like return
data[column.dataField]. Just a guess on that part but labelFunction is
definitely the core of what you'll need.

[flexcoders] How would i layout different objects in grid form
Hi I have few objects containing of type image in my HBOX container. I am letting user drag and drop those objects within the HBOX. I want to provide user the option to arrange those objects in grid layout form. There is radio button on the main application saying 'Grid' and if user selects that button then depending on the number of objects, the grid layout will be generated in HBOX (to arrange those objects). For example if there are 2-4 objects then they will be generated in form of 2x2 matrix, if 5-9 objects then they will be generated in 3x3 matrix and if 10-16 objects then they will be arranged in 4x4 matrix. For the time being I am just considering 16 objects in the HBOX. The size of the objects can be shrunk depending on the layout generated. Definitely if user selects grid option he cannot drag and drop any more. Does anyone know which is the best approach to achieve this? And is there any inbuilt Flex 3 component that will take care of this. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot. Anuj

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 3.1 - The Marshall Plan
Are you really asking whether remote content will be allowed application-level access to the computer? In essence, yes. Or at least the ability to trust remote modules somehow. I thought about this some more last night after I had posted my original message, and I'm pretty sure that this solution is for a problem that is quite specific. But it would be nice to discuss and expand upon. The example I've been given in the past is that man in the middle attacks are the main reason for not allowing remote module loading in AIR. Fair enough I understand the risks. But when the AIR file is downloaded for the first time, exactly the same caveat applies, how do you know that what you are downloading is what you think you are downloading? The counter argument is that there is a user agreement so if the downloaded application steals every password they have it's their fault. Fair enough, that's the standard practice. I'd suggest that we extend this paradigm so that the application can download remote modules and trust them, as long as the user gives their agreement. Counter argument, bad User experience (see Vistas constant Are you sure you want to do this dialogs). So the only real solution to this is to apply some level of trust to the remote modules whether it be signing, encryption, or whatever. After all, if you cannot trust the modules you download, how can you trust the AIR files you download? But that is a little scary, so I stopped thinking about it ;) Gk.

No, the floor is not Employee's. But if the employee by doing the finishing of the floor realizes how to do it with different tools and techniques better, then he has every right to apply his knowledge on another floor with different client. - As an example: A Employer hires a Employee to re-finish a hard-wood floor, does the employee then have the right to claim the floor is theirs?

If you don't like their terms and conditions, you can attempt to negotiate them away, butdon't be surprised if they aren't receptive to that approach. What you have to ask yourself is Do I have a complete corner on the skill set that they are looking for that they have no choice but to accept my demands to maintain the IP - I am most sure that the vast majority of the world don't have such skill sets BTW, I think you need to re-consider your definition of OOP.it has absolutely nothing to do with maintaining IP.

[flexcoders] lcds references to same item
Hello all ! I use LCDS to retrieve data from my database and display it on a tree. I have the following tables : model, model_media and media. I have made an hibernate model mapping with a Set from model to model_media, to get for each model their medias, like this : set name=children table=model_media lazy=false key column=modelid / many-to-many column=mediaid class=MediaVO / /set I could retrieve data correctly, each model have their own media listed in the children Set. Some medias are used by several models at same time, for exemple : model1 - media1 - media2 - media3 model2 - media1 - media3 - media4 Now, when I display my hierarchical list into a Tree, there is stange behaviours... When I display all the hierarchy for all models, and roll over an item used several times, the selection focus is displayed on the last item... ie if I roll over the media1 from model1, the focus is displayed on the media1 from model2... It seems that the items used some times are referenced at the same memory allocation... Flex doesn't recognize each item as single item, it see item used several times as the same item... Anybody have encounted the same behaviours ?? I don't know how to resolve it... any suggestion are welcome, thanks in advance Thierry

Re: [flexcoders] Blocking Dialog In Felx
The problem is not really in handling blocking dialogs, but the way that you are approaching the problem. If you have ten records to delete and MUST have confirmation for each one, delete them one by one and ask for each one, but don't try to delete a record until the previous one has been confirmed or rejected. You need to make the code wait for confirmation of deletion before trying to delete the next record. Usually this will require the code to use event handlers to queue the deletion. It all depends what your code looks like. Asking a user to approve deletion of multiple records one at a time, is not likely to lead to a good user experience. It would be better to ask in one dialog if the ten records can be deleted (you can even create a datagrid showing the records and and allow the user to uncheck ones they don't want deleted). Think hard about how you are handling this - users don't always like being repeatedly asked the same question over and over again. How would your user feel if they changed their mind after seeing the first confirmation dialog but then had to be asked the same question another nine times over?

Re: [flexcoders] Order datagrid by date in DD/MM/YYYY format
David - What you want to do is sort the data in your data provider. Typically I do this by storing the date as a number field (milliseconds since epoch) in the class that I am rendering. This allows numeric sorting on the date that is rendered in the column. The following snippet creates a Sort object which can then be set as the sort on your data provider when the date column is clicked. var sort:Sort = new Sort(); var dateMillisField:SortField = new SortField(dateMillis, true, false, true); sort.fields = [dateMillisField]; Here is a pretty good livedocs entry on sorting data in datagrids http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=0598.html. hth Scott -- Scott Melby Founder, Fast Lane Software LLC http://www.fastlanesw.com David Pariente wrote: Hi everyone, I have a datagrid with a Date column.

Assunto: [flexcoders] Finding the last day of the month
Hi,
I used to work with Coldfusion where they have this function like
DaysInMonth(date), to obtain the last day of the month (31 / 30, or 28 / 29
for feb / leap year)
,and it's very handy, is there anyway I could achieve the same function in
Flex?
Thanks.
Cheers!

Maybe. If said tools and techniques are uncovered while being paid to accomplish this floor re-finishing, then No they do not have any legal right to re-use it. In reality, will folks re-use/re-purpose what they've done? Absolutely but they have no legal right to it and by taking such actions they are placing themselves (albeit how greatly some people like to argue about) in peril of legal proceedings against them. How often would that happen? More often then people might realize. Another alternative is that they could simply establish themselves with a reputation of not respecting their agreements with customers (and believe me word will get around quicker than a brushfire in the middle of August in California hillside country) and they have effectively black-balled themselves. Then again the employer could simply be fat, stupid and lazy thereby never catching on to what is actually happening and the employee can take the employer for all they can get. My recommendation is to simply sign the agreement, adhere to the letter and (even more importantly) the spirit of the agreement and get on with your life: I.e. Getting paid to do something that you enjoy and are proficient at, then using the proceeds to behave like a twisted, salted pretzel with your significant other...

[flexcoders] Re: HTTPService Bug
All XML attribute values, names, and text values are String data types, and you
may need
to convert these to other data types. For example, the following code uses the
Number()
function to convert text values to numbers:
var myXML:XML =
order
item
price3.95/price
/item
item
price1.00/price
/item
/order;
var total:XML = total0/total;
myXML.appendChild(total);
for each (var item:XML in myXML.item)
{
myXML.total.children()[0] = Number(myXML.total.children()[0])
+
Number(item.price.children()[0]);
}
trace(myXML.total); // 4.35;
If this code did not use the Number() function, the code would interpret the +
operator as
the string concatenation operator, and the trace() method in the last line
would output the
following:
01.003.95

[flexcoders] How to change border around the defaultButton
I cant find a way to change the default thick blue border around the

I want to remove the border on the button when I am in the input

applies.
Does anyone have an idea how to do this?
See example below:

layout=absolute width=400 height=400
mx:Canvas defaultButton={btn} width=100% height=100%

mx:Button id=btn x=51 y=85 label=Button/

/mx:Application
Re: [flexcoders] How to change border around the defaultButton
I don't think Flex 3 implemented this.
I know there is some free button skins out there.
Try googling 'flex button border skin'.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: OOP and Work for Hire
I think the real problem is that many people build up class libraries over time that get incorporated into various projects. The sticky question is where does work-for-hire leave that code (particularly if most of the library code used for a particular project was created beforehand). It may be for a given project, that library gets enhanced, so it's tricky. Nobody would want a work-for-hire project to cut off their trusty class library from further use.

Hi,
Your wiping the reference to the original collection looks like.
When you receive your data, try using removeAll(), addItem() or
ICollectionView.
OR
set the 'source' property on the collection you added the listener to.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: OOP and Work for Hire
The answer is it depends. If you're using any old toothbrush in an obvious way, you can probably re-use the technique / materials. If you create your own brush for the purpose, it (and any related patents) would probably be property of the employer. If you created a nice collision detection algorithm for one project, then that would belong to the employer [most likely]. You'd have to re-create one from scratch during the next project for a different client or else you open yourself, and your new client / employer, up to a lengthy legal battle. I'm not sure where you're from, but in my world, real life is exactly like this. b_alen wrote: So you're saying if I find a way how to get into a tight corner and polish it with a specially pimped tooth brush, while doing this for the almighty Employer, I can never ever use that technique and the similar tooth brush again?

What if I took the first tooth brush from my home, because I'm a smart problem solver and didn't want to wait for boss to buy it? Another example I create a really nice collision detection algorithm on one project. What to do on the next project where I need collision detection? Write worse code just so that it's not the same? Or if I work for a company for three years, since I was a fresher.

How often would that happen? More often then people might realize. Another alternative is that they could simply establish themselves with a reputation of not respecting their agreements with customers (and believe me word will get around quicker than a brushfire in the middle of August in California hillside country) and they have effectively black-balled themselves. Then again the employer could simply be fat, stupid and lazy thereby never catching on to what is actually happening and the employee can take the employer for all they can get. My recommendation is to simply sign the agreement, adhere to the letter and (even more importantly) the spirit of the agreement and get on with your life: I.e.

[flexcoders] Font Leading Problem in Browsers
I'm seeing different font rendering issues in various browsers. Using the Arial system font, the leading (spacing between lines) rendering is different across browsers. For example, Internet Explorer is very relaxed in comparison to Firefox or Safari which makes laying out text in the application extremely difficult to project. Has anyone been seeing the same issue and what's best practice to work around that? Thanks, JB

[flexcoders] Re: HTTPService Bug
Wherever you get the returned XML object from... does it pass in a 1 or 2? Or does it pass a 1.0 / 2.0. As far as I know, HTTPService does not transform data (some one more experience can correct me if I am wrong). It just spits back to you what it receives. If you have control over the server side of things (that is, where the HTTPService connects to) you might need to see if 1.0/2.0 is being passed to the XML object or maybe only 1 / 2 is being passed to the object. If you have no control over this, then you might need to add the .0 manually; or if you do have control but Flex still trip the .0 off, then try adding quotation marks around 1.0 / 2.0 on the server side. You can also do a trace (which I'm sure you already did - but I thought I'll just plug this in here anyways) statement on the returned object, just to see what you get. Happy Coding. :) --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Rafael Faria [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Any reason why HTTPService when return my XML as an Object transform the following array into strings that was suppose to contain strings item key=version label![CDATA[Version]]/label type![CDATA[dropdown]]/type source item key=![CDATA[Choose]]/item item key=2.0![CDATA[2.0]]/item item key=1.2![CDATA[1.2]]/item item key=1.0![CDATA[1.0]]/item /source default![CDATA[Choose]]/default width![CDATA[100]]/width rules![CDATA[trim|required]]/rules /item I'm populating my combobox with the source node.

How can I adjust the code so that only one alert box is displayed?

[flexcoders] Chart with missing values
My understanding is that Flex charts assume that the series data provider contains an entry for each point on the axis. Ely's sampler has an example of missing values (gap vs interpolate), achieved by having a missing *field* in the data. I was hoping there might be a way to give an axis a different data provider, but it looks as though I must either 1) manually construct the collection 2) create a custom implementation of ICollectionView or some such 3) press to have the server return a complete array with null fields (which I can detect in a data function). Tips appreciated.

All XML attribute values, names, and text values are String data types,
and you may need
to convert these to other data types. For example, the following code
uses the Number()
function to convert text values to numbers:
var myXML:XML =
order
item
price3.95/price
/item
item
price1.00/price
/item
/order;
var total:XML = total0/total;
myXML.appendChild(total);
for each (var item:XML in myXML.item)
{
myXML.total.children()[0] = Number(myXML.total.children()[0])
+ Number(item.price.children()[0]);
}
trace(myXML.total); // 4.35;
If this code did not use the Number() function, the code would interpret
the + operator as
the string concatenation operator, and the trace() method in the last
line would output the
following:

RE: [flexcoders] Re: HTTPService Bug
If you leave the resultFormat property at its default, which is object, Flex converts your XML into a nested structure of dynamic objects. While this can be convenient for creating an ArrayCollection, it is rarely desirable. The consensus seems to be, especially with many visible itemRenderers, that best overall performance is obtained by receiving the data as e4x, then looping over that to build an ArrayCollection of strongly typed value objects. Search the archives for plenty of discussion.

Or does it pass a 1.0 / 2.0. As far as I know, HTTPService does not transform data (some one more experience can correct me if I am wrong). It just spits back to you what it receives. If you have control over the server side of things (that is, where the HTTPService connects to) you might need to see if 1.0/2.0 is being passed to the XML object or maybe only 1 / 2 is being passed to the object. If you have no control over this, then you might need to add the .0 manually; or if you do have control but Flex still trip the .0 off, then try adding quotation marks around 1.0 / 2.0 on the server side. You can also do a trace (which I'm sure you already did - but I thought I'll just plug this in here anyways) statement on the returned object, just to see what you get.

The only problem with using labelFunctions or itemRenderers for this, is that the default sort mechanism (column header click) doesn't work (see historical low).

[flexcoders] scrolling prob on itemrenderers
I have created a custom ItemRenderer with a textarea in it. This ItemRenderer is being used in a DataGrid. If the mouse pointer is over the textarea(ItemRenderer), the datagrid doesnt react to any mouse wheel movement. How I enable the DataGrid to receive the mouse wheel events when the mouse is over that textarea?
[flexcoders] right way to bubble 'show' event in nested viewstacks
hi,
i have a tabnavigator in a viewstack, my tabnavigator children control a
menu parented by the main application. the 'show' event is what i'm using
to setup the menu.
so that means that each time the outer viewstack changes, i need to pass the
'show' event down to the current item in the inner viewstack. this is how
i've been doing it, on each child of the outer viewstack, i add this.
public function onCreationComplete():void
{
ViewLocator.getInstance().register(Constants.EMPLOYEES_VIEW,this);
*this.addEventListener(FlexEvent.SHOW,bubbleShowEvent);*
}
*private function bubbleShowEvent(event:FlexEvent):void
{
employeesTabNavigator.selectedChild.dispatchEvent(new
FlexEvent(FlexEvent.SHOW));
}
*there must be a better way of doing this, maybe?
thanks,
d.
Re: [flexcoders] Re: OOP and Work for Hire
The company that you worked for has the right to patent the implementation of that great algorithm that you came up with. So if that's really an inventive algorithm then yeah, they have the right to use it and you do not. In the real world is this how things play out? often no, but I'm just trying to explain my (non-professional) understanding of intellectual property law.

[flexcoders] Re: Moving Nodes across Trees (with in the tree is works fine)
Hi All, After spending some time on the API Docs i am able to find a way to get hold of the new parent of the Dropped Item at runtime.. [CODE] var r:int = tree.calculateDropIndex(event); tree.selectedIndex = r; [/CODE] How ever when i add this code to the onDragDrop() method.. I am unable to drop the Items !! How ever when i added the code to add the dragged items as Child Elements of the target parent everything seems to work fine.. Thanks Mars

[flexcoders] Flex, LCDS, FlexUnit, and Maven 2
I have a Flex application that uses LCDS. I was wondering if someone help me find tutorials/samples on how to do the following: 1. Build the Flex application (which uses LCDS) with Maven 2 (what to put in the pom.xml) 2. How to integrate my existing flexunit tests into the Maven 2 build 3. Run my FlexUnit tests using Maven 2 Thanks do much!

RE: [flexcoders] lcds references to same item
If I'm understanding your email correctly, you're actually looking at a feature of Data Management. When you fill multiple client side collections and there's an overlap in the items each collection contains, Data Management ensures that only a single instance of any specific item exists on the client. This guarantees that your client side-data remains in a consistent state. Say you had two copies of 'media1' on the client, and then you change one and then the other. Which copy is the true copy? Which should be committed back to the server? There's no way to know, and this is a problem folks hit when using simple remoting to manage data. By maintaining a single instance on the client, your client-side data stays in a consistent, well-understood state. If your media instances really shouldn't be shared by your model instances, then you'll need to adjust your domain model (always create unique media instances for each model?).

Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 2:39 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] lcds references to same item Hello all ! I use LCDS to retrieve data from my database and display it on a tree. I have the following tables : model, model_media and media. I have made an hibernate model mapping with a Set from model to model_media, to get for each model their medias, like this : set name=children table=model_media lazy=false key column=modelid / many-to-many column=mediaid class=MediaVO / /set I could retrieve data correctly, each model have their own media listed in the children Set. Some medias are used by several models at same time, for exemple : model1 - media1 - media2 - media3 model2 - media1 - media3 - media4 Now, when I display my hierarchical list into a Tree, there is stange behaviours... When I display all the hierarchy for all models, and roll over an item used several times, the selection focus is displayed on the last item... ie if I roll over the media1 from model1, the focus is displayed on the media1 from model2... It seems that the items used some times are referenced at the same memory allocation... Flex doesn't recognize each item as single item, it see item used several times as the same item... Anybody have encounted the same behaviours ?? I don't know how to resolve it... any suggestion are welcome, thanks in advance Thierry
