Hello all,
I was wondering how to create a dynamic form using Action Script in
Flex. Here is the Flex code:






I know how to declare the form:
var fm:Form = new Form();
but I am not sure how to add all the other stuff to it.

[flexcoders] sequence diagrams from a running AS3 application...

[giopaia]

Being quite a newbie and coming from the Flash world
I'm just at the beginning of my OO developer journey
and I'm learning UML...
Are there any tools you'd like to suggest where it's
possible to use UML in a good relationship with actionscript?
I do now that there are tools for generating code from
structural diagrams and to draft the packages and classes
but I was wondering if there are tools out there that
have the ability to monitor a running application to
'extract' sequence diagrams when running/debugging an application.
(given the similarity/relationship with the functions call stack)




Thanks for any suggestion

item render

Adam,
We are setting different server this week with jetty for sample push apps -
should post availability either in my or Yakov's blog.
We will rehost Coenraets collaboration apps, Flex "sample" one as well as
few financial samples of our own -
do not know if you have another use case that you think is interesting.

The version stays closed source till it is published - but will be available
on Web 8/19.

Thank you

[flexcoders] Re: How to configure IIS, Jrun and Tomcat to run on the same machine?

[Djamshed]

Ok, with the help of some folks we figured it out. Here is the solution:
1. Install Tomcat ISAPI
2. Create Virtual Directory with some name, our case "jakarta" and
point it to location of isapi_redirect.dll of Tomcat ISAPI installation
3. Configure .properties files in Tomcat ISAPI installation. For more
details please refer to
http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc-archive/jk2/jk/iishowto.html.
4. Create Virtual Directory in IIS with your application alias, e.g.
"tomcatapp" that points to any location in your disk, e.g. E:\temp.
Make sure you've selected "execute scripts".
5. In Tomcat's server.xml configure  property. 
Make sure port you assigned is active: netstat -na from command prompt
6. In Tomcat's server.xml configure context for new location.

7. Edit uriworkermap.properties and add:
/tomcatapp/*=worker1
8. Edit workers.properties.minimal as follows:
worker.worker1.type=ajp13
worker.worker1.host=localhost
worker.worker1.port=8009
9. Restart Tomcat and IIS.
10. You should be enjoying your app working from URL without port
numbers specified and it works full in Tomcat, in spite of there are
IIS and JRun at the same machine.

Step 4, 5 and 6 is not documented in Tomcat-IIS integration site
(http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc-archive/jk2/jk/iishowto.html), 
therefore
nothing worked when we tried instructions (actually calls were
directed to Jrun and it responded with error messages).

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Please, help: the release player displays a blank page in all browsers.

[Sherif Abdou]

I don't know what this thread is exactly on since my i cant find the first 
message but I have gotten this a couple of times, Basically it is either a loop 
that never finishes or you keep calling any of the invalidation methods over 
and over again. For example, for some reason i over ridden the 
updateDisplayList and i called invalidateDisplayList() in it for some reason 
and i had the same problem. I am guessing you may have used a custom loader or 
some custom component that does that. It works fine in debugger too but not 
release.

Make sure the compiled css swf is actually where you expect.

 

I am having problems with FB3 where the compiler misplaces the css swf,

Hello,

I'm trying to implement runtime css in my flex application. I have
compiled my css file 
into a swf with mxmlc
> mxmlc style1.css

Then I load the resulting style1.swf on Application creationComplete:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
 " layout="vertical"
creationComplete="StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations('../assets/style1.s
wf', true, 
true)">

But when I debug this in Flex Builder 3, I get an error (see below)
saying that my 
style1.swf is not a loadable module. I looked around online and in this
forum and it seems 
that this message is security-based, which is puzzling to me because all
files are local in 
my example. I am not loading a style file from another domain.

My directory structure (on OS X Leopard) is:
testRuntimeCss\
assets\
style1.css
style1.swf
src\
testRuntimeCss.mxml

I have tried this with the "Compile CSS to SWF" option both checked and
unchecked (right 
click on style1.css). 

What gives?

[flexcoders] Re: Removing ArrayCollection item from within ItemRenderer

[Tim Hoff]

Hi Barry,

Sorry to laugh a little, but parent.removeChild(this), is actually
removing the itemRenderer display object; and leaving a hole in the
TileList.  There are a few ways to remove list items; from within an
itemRenderer.  But, most of them involve referencing the list's
dataProvider directly; using something like:

myArrayCollection.removeItemAt(myTileList.selectedIndex);

Now, how do you get to the dataProvider from within the itemRenderer. 
Probably the best way is to dispatch an event when the delete button is
clicked.   Using events takes advantage of  loose coupling.   Listen for
the event in the class that contains the TileList and remove the item
from the dataProvider.  Depending on how you have it setup, chances are
that when you click the button inside the itemRenderer, the TileList's
selected item and index will change automatically.

Another way, if you want to get dirty, is to do something like this on
the click event of the delete button:

this.parentDocument.myTileList.dataProvider.removeItemAt(listData.rowInd\
ex);

RE: [flexcoders] Anyone have a good resource on singletons?

[Tracy Spratt]

A singleton class will have a static getInstance() method.

 

Anywhere you need to access members of the singleton, call that method.
Just import the class, do not use the normal instantiation procedures,
like new, or using an mxml tag.

import mypackage.MyModel;

[Bindable]private var _myModel:MyModel; //optional var reference

 

Private function init(): void

  _myModel = MyModel.getInstance();

  Alert.show(_myModel.myFunction())

Re: [flexcoders] Who is using FlexReport?

[Anatole Tartakovsky]

Report Wirter is a delicate topic. We wrote reporting solution in 2006 -
complete stack from database to end-user UI designer to the optimized client
to the PDF. However, the current mind set in the enterprises - if it is
third party product it has to be open source and free. So instead of pushing
it as a product, we are packaging it as a service.
After all, building low cost solution for mass market requires mass market
and enterprises with flex reporting are not mass market yet.
I believe most of reporting solutions I have seen are just tip of the
iceberg, with services beneath to recover develpoment costs.

[flexcoders] Anyone have a good resource on singletons?

[Scott]

I'm trying to find information on using singletons in AS3/Flex.  I've
got an .AS file set up but I'm having issues calling the data/functions
within that function in other classes.  Does anyone have a good resource
on the web for creating and using singletons?

 

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: Trouble with hand cursor over mx:Text

[whatabrain]

Ah. I had mouseChildren=true. Must have misread the page I got it 
from.

Is there any way to do this in css, so I can have a style that makes 
anything into a link? The following sets the color, but doesn't force 
the hand cursor:


.link
{
color: blue;
useHandCursor: true;
buttonMode: true;
mouseChildren: false;
}



Or do I have to subclass mx:Text?

[flexcoders] PopUpManager to Set General-Purpose Control

[edlueze]

Hi Folks:

I am using PopUpManager to create a set of general-purpose pop-up
dialog boxes that can be used throughout my application. For example,
I have a TextBoxDialogBox that will ask the user for text input and
then place that input into a TextInput control in the caller window.
Similarly I have a CheckBoxDialogBox that asks for yes/no input and
then places that input into CheckBox control in the caller window.

I'm finding that I'm writing the same code over-and-over to handle
each variation. For example, I need to declare and set different
variables depending on the type of pop-up, as such:

var popupTextBoxReturnControl:TextInput;
var popupCheckBoxReturnControl:CheckBox;

And then I have a set of very similar functions that will set the
return value. For example:

popupTextBoxCallerReturn.text = popupTextBoxReturnControl.text //OR
popupCheckBoxCallerReturn.selected = popupCheckBoxReturnControl.selected

I want to be able to condense the code down so that a variable for
just one control is needed - perhaps using IFlexDisplayObject. But
when I try to do this I get the error "1119: Access of possibly
undefined property text through a reference with static type
mx.core:IFlexDisplayObject."

Does anybody have any suggestions on how I can condense a dozen
virtually identical functions down into a couple more general purpose
functions?

Thanks in advance!

Can you supply more information?

Type of file, what server backend you have...

Re: [flexcoders] Where is the right place to add children from a setter?

[Doug McCune]

Set a dirty flag in your setter (like childrenDirty = true) and call
invalidateProperties(), then override commitProperties() and check if
your dirty flag is set, if so then add the children in there.

[flexcoders] Re: creating a World Clock and need a little help with the time and date

[Mark]

I tried a few things along those lines and not even getting close... 
really:

setDate =  new Date(nanoSeconds/1000 - new Date().getTime()); 
RETURNS Tue Jun 20 09:55:17 GMT-0400 1933

setDate =  new Date(nanoSeconds/(60*1000) - new Date().getTime
()); RETURNS Tue Jun 30 09:26:26 GMT-0400 1931

setDate =  new Date(nanoSeconds/(60*1000) - new Date
(1970,0,1,0,0,0,0).getTime()); RETURNS Mon Jan 12 19:17:43 GMT-0500 
1970

setDate =  new Date(nanoSeconds/1000 - new Date
(1970,0,1,0,0,0,0).getTime()); RETURNS Mon Jan 3 19:43:04 GMT-0500 
1972

There's a problem with the math but I'm just not able to find it.  
Any more help??  Maybe someone knows a different Web Service?

[flexcoders] Where is the right place to add children from a setter?

[Sean Clark Hess]

Hi everybody,
I know how to add children to a component doing something like the
following, but I can't help but think there ought to be a better way to do
it.  Perhaps I should be overriding one of UIComponent's methods?  Anyway,
the issue (see link) is that container isn't defined when the setter is
called.  Where is the proper place to actually add the children?

You would use it like this --

[flexcoders] Re: What files should be in the WEB-INF/flex directory to dynamically compile

Thanks Tom.  The phrase "web-tier compiler" was what I needed.  I
found the Flex compiler module for J2EE application servers after much
searching at the page
.  What a
brutal search for something so simple!  The result of this is
webtier.war, which can be deployed to any web app server.  I can then
add my Flex app and it dynamically recompiles, and it's the Flex 3
version.

Thanks again.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex blog topics - what should I write about?

[Doug McCune]

Oh my god. Please please please do not write those announcement
non-posts. That ticks me off so much and it ruins a full day or two of
blog reading because I can't deal with filtering out the 90% of the
posts that are "Flex 4 details were released!!! ZOMGZ Gumbo!"

The approach I took when I started blogging was just to take
unanswered questions on flexcoders and post an example solution.
You've been really active on this list, so I bet you've got a good
idea about what people have been asking. Go back through your inbox
for flexcoders and find some of the custom component questions that
haven't been really answered. That way you know there's at least
someone out there who wants to read the post (even if only one guy).

While I understand the previous message about wanting to see full app
examples more than small code snippets, I would argue against that.
Well, not against that per se, but I would say that the most important
thing is to blog the stuff you find interesting. Your interest and
enthusiasm is half of what makes a post good (the other half being a
good topic obviously). So my only suggestion is don't let yourself get
bogged down in making "complete examples" or "broader programming
tutorials" if that's going to slow you down. Just blog the shit out of
what you like doing. If you like debugging webservice calls then show
me stuff very specific to that that's cool. If you like custom
components then show me some cool custom components. If writing about
the broader historical context and proper usage of that component
isn't your thing, just post the component code. On the other hand, if
that is your thing then do that (and still post the component code).
Your job isn't to teach anyone programming, it's to show us cool shit.

The only thing I'd suggest is start blogging with a focus on code
samples and runnable examples. If you're showing a block of code for a
custom component, I'm looking for a runnable swf embedded in the post
(or at least a link to one) that shows what the code does.

[flexcoders] Removing ArrayCollection item from within ItemRenderer

[calisza]

After having a look around at various blogs, resources etc I'm stumped
on the following :

I have a TileList using a custom itemRenderer. The dataprovider is a
standard ArrayCollection of objects.

The itemRenderer contains an Image, a Label and a Button. When the
user clicks the button - I want to remove that particular item from
both the Tilelist and the dataProvider.

The problem is that "parent.removeChild(this)" only works partially
(it clears the tilelist "block" of the item's content, but the empty
block remains in place... still highlighted). I also have no idea how
to access the dataProvider from within the itemRenderer.
parent.dataProvider and owner.dataProvider don't seem to work, my
guess being that dataProvider is a private property.

Any ideas ? Is there perhaps a better way of doing this ? (still new
to flex so still learning).

TIA,
Barry

Re: [flexcoders] Who is using FlexReport?

amen brother, to be honest I like FlexReport- but it's not ready for an
enterprise app.  it's a good starting point, but I really need something
much more robust.

i'm in the same boat, would love to provide all the great reportability and
UI that has been touted but more and more i see people 'hacking' out flex
reports in anything other than 'flex'.

Adobe, where is the flex report builder???

[flexcoders] Who is using FlexReport?

[ansury2001]

I need some advice on whether FlexReport is ready for "real" use.

I've already taken a look at it some, and other than it being a pain 
to setup and rather slow, I think it may work well enough. But I want 
to get some 3rd party opinions on others who have used it-- or, what 
other solutions have you come up with? Are most people just using 3rd 
party tools like Oracle BI Publisher or Crystal Reports, resorting to 
that primitive "HTML round-trip" stuff? ^_^

I also would like to provide users with report building capabilities. 
I know reporting is complex, but has anyone done anything similiar or 
had any experience creating a report builder in Flex? Something like 
ClearBI would be great. (Unfortunately ClearBI has no user base, no 
support, no community, extremely restrictive setup requirements, is 
almost impossible to setup and get working, isn't cheap (considering 
what you're getting), and seems like a VERY risky choice for 
reporting.)

As a side rant...
Flex is not going to take off in an "enterprise environment" as Adobe 
seems to be claiming it is ready for until we can do reporting 
natively in the swf app, without a ton of issues and work to do. I 
don't care whether it's built into Flex, created separately by Adobe, 
or built by a third party, but a real solution is going to be needed 
very soon, before something like Silverlight exploits this weakness. 
FlexReport won't be this solution no matter how good it gets, because 
it's scope isn't large enough. Users need to be able to create their 
own reports using the reporting interface!

RE: [flexcoders] PopButton inside another popUp

I've got a PopupButton which pops up a form, which in turn contains
another popupbutton subform, and I'm running into difficulties with the
inner popup being undefined. I know there's an outstanding issue here
and I've tried to implement the fix (as I know it) which is to check to
see of the popUp property is undefined, and if so, define it on the fly
via AS.  The issue I'm seeing however is that the popUp is behind the
other popup until I click on it once or twice.

Any sugestions or advice?

Re: [flexcoders] What is the underscore '_'

[Leonardo Moreno]

Hi

The '_' preceding a variable is used as a best practice in private 
fields because the getters and setters can't have the same name as the 
variable.

private var _name:String;

public function set name(name:String):void{this._name = name;}

public function get name():String{return this._name;}

Hi all,

I'm in troubles here... researching the internet furiously while post it
here.
I have in my application that loads a module and instantiate it inside
an instance of class core.controls.ModalDialog, class that I wrote
extended from TitleWindow.

The source is really simple... here is the implementation of module load
event:

protected function handleCreateCompanyModuleLoad(event:ModuleEvent):void
{
var dialog:ModalDialog =
ModalDialog(PopUpManager.createPopUp(Application(Application.application
),
ModalDialog, true));

// Dialog customization
dialog.title = "Create Company";
dialog.width = 450;
dialog.height = 270;
dialog.showCloseButton = true;

// Dialog content customization
var ui:* = event.module.factory.create();
dialog.addChild(ui);
}

One of the buttons inside the module closes the ModalDialog, which
should be accessible through this.parent or this.owner. Since I know
I'm always inside of it, I cast the property to prevent Flex from
popping my errors...



protected function close():void
{
//ModalDialog(parent).close();
ModalDialog(owner).close();
}

Everytime I execute the code and click in the "Cancel" button... it
throws this runtime error:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
core.controls::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to core.controls.ModalDialog.

Any ideas how do I solve this?

PS: Inside the application module (it's 100% modular) I already
imported the ModalDialog and inside the module too researching the
internet I saw someone telling that missing this might be a problem
(solved the requester' issue), but didn't have any effect for me...

Re: [flexcoders] What is the underscore '_'

[Paul Andrews]

It's often used as a convention to show private variables in a class. Some 
people use it for class atrributes - private or not.

In your example it's assigning a class variable with the value of a parameter.

Its just standard practice to use an underscore for private variables.

[flexcoders] Error #1034: Type Coercion failed.... how to solve?

[Guilherme Blanco]

Hi all,


I'm in troubles here... researching the internet furiously while post it here.
I have in my application that loads a module and instantiate it inside
an instance of class core.controls.ModalDialog, class that I wrote
extended from TitleWindow.

The source is really simple... here is the implementation of module load event:

protected function handleCreateCompanyModuleLoad(event:ModuleEvent):void
{
   var dialog:ModalDialog =
ModalDialog(PopUpManager.createPopUp(Application(Application.application),
ModalDialog, true));

   // Dialog customization
   dialog.title = "Create Company";
   dialog.width = 450;
   dialog.height = 270;
   dialog.showCloseButton = true;

   // Dialog content customization
   var ui:* = event.module.factory.create();
   dialog.addChild(ui);
}


One of the buttons inside the module closes the ModalDialog, which
should be accessible through this.parent or this.owner. Since I know
I'm always inside of it, I cast the property to prevent Flex from
popping my errors...




protected function close():void
{
   //ModalDialog(parent).close();
   ModalDialog(owner).close();
}


Everytime I execute the code and click in the "Cancel" button... it
throws this runtime error:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
core.controls::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to core.controls.ModalDialog.


Any ideas how do I solve this?


PS: Inside the application module (it's 100% modular) I already
imported the ModalDialog and inside the module too researching the
internet I saw someone telling that missing this might be a problem
(solved the requester' issue), but didn't have any effect for me...

Re: [flexcoders] Transparent Application Background

[Daniel Gold]

Are you wanting the application to be transparent as in showing what's
'under' it on a page? If so have fun. I've seen Flash ads do this on
websites and it looks like they actually discern the bitmap data for that
section of the page and use that as the background. If you see one of these
ads you'll notice you can't click on anything in the 'transparent' area. I
haven't put any effort into it but seems like a pain.

[flexcoders] PopButton inside another popUp

[Battershall, Jeff]

I've got a PopupButton which pops up a form, which in turn contains
another popupbutton subform, and I'm running into difficulties with the
inner popup being undefined. I know there's an outstanding issue here
and I've tried to implement the fix (as I know it) which is to check to
see of the popUp property is undefined, and if so, define it on the fly
via AS.  The issue I'm seeing however is that the popUp is behind the
other popup until I click on it once or twice.

Any sugestions or advice?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: File Uploading

[Dimitrios Gianninas]

The same way you would do it in JSP :)
 
Use the FileReference class in Flex to allow the user to select a file and then 
tell it to send the file to a Java servlet. Then the servlet will receive the 
file and do what it needs to do with it. I assume you have done the Java 
portion before, so there is nothing more to it.
 
Hope that makes sense, if not I can post a quick example.

You're not compiling in just the ADG, but the whole of what used to be 
Charting (now called Data Visualisation).
You can reduce your users pain by using RSL to load the .swc's at runtime,

Yeah, all the stuff coming in to the app at startup -- all the products,
categories, options, etc. -- is coming over as typed structs that are
translated nicely. And I guess I'll do that when sending the Estimate back,
too. It's just that the overall structure of how an Estimate is put together
on the client side is different in some ways from the way things will be
persisted on the server. So I was just going to skip the typing and throw
one big Estimate object down the line, since my understanding is that CF
should just see the object as a struct.

I wonder, though: The Estimate does have an array of Product VOs and Option
VOs within that do match CFCs. Wonder if it's possible that CF is balking at
the combination of objects it knows, and ones it doesn't?

[flexcoders] How to save the Captured Screen Shot Image in Flex Using java JAI

[Jaibabu]

Hai all once again i'm back, 
 How can i save the  image captured in flex in server side Using Java
JAI. I had tried many solutions but i failed to achieve that. I can able to
send the JpegEncoded byte array as string (Using Base64Decode) to the server
side from MXML page. But in server side i can't able to convert the encoded
string to image format using Java JAI and save it. Can anyone please post me
the java code to save the captured image. When i save the String as jpeg
image in server side the file gets saved but no image is visible.

The following is the mxml code snippet.

var jpgenc:JPEGEncoder = new JPEGEncoder();
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(mm1.width,mm1.height);
bmd.draw(mm1);
var ohSnap:ImageSnapshot = ImageSnapshot.captureImage(bmd,0,jpgenc);
   
var byteArr:String;
base64Enc = new Base64Encoder();
base64Enc.encode(ImageSnapshot.encodeImageAsBase64(ohSnap));
byteArr = base64Enc.flush();

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest ();
request.url = "http://serverpath/sqftcalc/save.do";;
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.data = new URLVariables ("BYTEDATA=" + byteArr);
downloadFileRef.download (request, "file")

Thanks in advance

Something like

1) Design (pen and paper mostly) to produce list of application-level events 
and screen
2) for each screen, for each event fired from that screen
a) server code and test
b) client code (Event,Command, Delegate etc. etc. as needed) and test
c) integration test
d) user test as req.

Sometimes, esp. with more complex results we might build the whole of the 
server code first and then the client, but the client is still done screen by 
screen.

[flexcoders] Simple Flex ColdFusion connection test app

[Simon Bailey]

I noticed a few people out there trying to build a simple connection
application to test if Flex and ColdFusion were talking using
RemoteObject.

So I decided to build a simple app that people could be re-used either
remote or locally.

This should help with the whole 'whats is the source string' and where
to I hit this flex 2 gateway stuff :)  Also enables you to enter urls
and cfc names so you dont have to keep on recompiling the flex app :)

See if it helps anyone out there:

[flexcoders] Re: Custom Components - updateDisplay results in ghost children drawn

[polestar11]

Ok ... so I'm still getting issues with the dynamic height on custom
components. 

I have a background Shape which I construct in the createChildren
method and set its graphics. In the updateDisplayList function I clear
and redraw the graphics at the new y position. This results in 2
versions of the Shape existing, first at the initial location (the
ghost version) and second at the new y location. 
You can see in the screenshot below, in the 2nd case there there are 2
sets of tiled backgrounds instead of a clear area where the swf asset
(dotted circle) is located.

It seems myShape.graphics.clear() does nothing.

There's a 'web tier compiler' in the Flex 3 SDK, and plenty of docs on the 
web. Don't try and figure this out blind.

Re: [flexcoders] Navigating from flex to jsp page

[Sid Maskit]

Once you've loaded the flex movie, it would seem to me to make more sense to 
treat it as in control, and treat the servlet as a service for the flex movie. 
I would set up a handler for when the servlet returns, and have the servlet 
return some value which tells the flex movie what to do. It could return a URL 
which the flex movie could then navigate to, or it could return an empty string 
in which case the flex movie would do nothing. If you wanted to make it a 
little more secure, you could hard code a default URL into the flex movie, and 
have it navigate there unless it received a message telling it to do something 
else. That way it would default to unloading itself, and would only stick 
around if the servlet told it that was OK.

Hope that helps.

Subject: [flexcoders] Navigating from flex to jsp page


I have a flex application that loads as soon as a user hits a url. Now
this application has a creationComplete method which makes a call to a
java servlet. In the servlet (/servlet filter) I perform certain
authorization checks and if the check fails I want to navigate the
user to a jsp page.

I tried using  the forward method of java's RequestDisptacher class
but once the flex application has loaded this does not seem to work
and the user is not taken to the jsp page. Also I cannot use Flex's
navigateToURL because  jsp redirection is conditional based on
authorization checks in my servlet. Please let me know on how to go
about it.

[flexcoders] Re: Custom Components - updateDisplay results in ghost children drawn

[polestar11]

Thanks Josh

This example was a simple case. What I actually want to is have my

retrospect I would have to extend from the Container class. 

The absoulte size would fix the problem (in that the item re-draws
would occur underneath each other & would not be visible). I was just
worried that I was getting a lot of outdated screen objects that
aren't being cleaned up when drawing underneath each other. But I
suppose it's only 1 graphics layer.
