RE: [flexcoders] Only last row shown from dataservice result (Hibernate+LCDS)
It sounds like you have a complex identity object – i.e. not a set of primitive properties. Try adding a toString() method in your identity class which returns a unique string for each instance. I think that we fixed this in 2.6 so that is not necessary (now available on our web site).

RE: [flexcoders] LCDS Memory Usage
That is basically how it works but only if you have auto-sync enabled=true and cache-items=true on your destination settings. The auto-sync feature requires that we maintain at least the identities of all objects managed on every client so that we know where to push changes. The goal here is that you don't have to worry about tracking that and can still easily keep clients in sync. Also, if two clients fetch an object with the same id, only one copy is cached. If you turn cache-items=false, we cache only the ids, not the items so we keep a lot less state around (though we do have to go back to the assembler more often so that is more load on the database). If you turn auto-sync off, the server maintains no state but the synchronization functionality would then only work if you enable manual sync - i.e. where your clients specify subscriptions they want to listen to and also can specify meta-data that is attached to all changes made. That meta-data is used to route changes to the right subscribed clients. Jeff From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Geoffrey Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 5:21 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] LCDS Memory Usage Looking in the LiveCycle Data Services ES Developer's Guide, page 190, it states: By default, the Data Management Service caches items returned from fill() and getItem() calls and uses cached items to implement paging and to build object graphs on the server when implementing lazy associations. This causes a complete copy of the managed state of all active clients to be kept in each server's memory. Here's what I think that means. If I have 100 clients, and each client has one managed collection that contains 100 items in it, then there would be 10,000 copies residing in memory on the server(100 objects for 100 users). Am I understanding this correctly? Does this seem inefficient? What if those objects happened to be really big objects... I mean really big. Seems like that would take up a lot of memory on the server. Has anyone come up against this in practice? Thanks, Geoff inline: image001.jpginline: image002.jpg

[flexcoders] Loading style sheets at run time
I have created few fonts css and compiled them into swf to load them at run time. There is one custom component Card, is placed into a Module and this Module is loaded by main application. The Card component contains TextArea, MyTextArea(custom component) and ComboBox (which display font list). Now when user select any font from ComboBox, Card component load css and when it get loaded, it updates fontFamily of TextArea and MyTextArea. But only TextArea updated with new fonts while MyTextArea is not getting update anytime. Can anyone help me to figure out this. I am using following code to load css run time. var myEvent:IEventDispatcher = StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(fontSource[0].src,true,false,ApplicationDomain.currentDomain); myEvent.addEventListener(StyleEvent.COMPLETE,fontComplete); myEvent.addEventListener(StyleEvent.ERROR,fontError); Any help is appreciated, Thanks

[flexcoders] Framework RSL and subclassing

There are several places in my project where I can either 1) put a bunch of code in a mx:script tag or included .as file or 2) subclass to make things look cleaner. In some quick tests, it looks like creating a new class adds ~80 bytes (plus or minus about 10) to the .swf compared to putting it in an mxml or script tag. 1) Does this observation seem about right as a general rule? 2) Are there any other considerations for subclassing vs. not subclassing that relate to .swf size?

[flexcoders] Re: Thick Java Client for LCDS
By LCDS, you mean DataService in Java? I haven't heard anyone try implementing that in Java. I don't think it'll be that easy though because, first you need to implement all Channels (or at least one that you'll use in your application) in Java and that by itself is not trivial. You need to figure out how to make HTTP calls (URLConnection vs. HTTPClient), figure out how AMF serialization/deserialization is going to work, etc. After you have your Channel, you need to implement Producer/Consumer so you can do messaging. And finally, you can build DataService on top of those. -Mete --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Shailesh Mangal [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Has java client (thick) for LCDS been tried?

// another comment here
var a:Object = new Object();
var b:Object = new Object();
var a:Object = new Object();
}
compiler issues a warning that a is defined twice, however, when I
debug this code, debugger skips the very first line of code after the
comment lines leaving a uninitialized. Had I not inited a the second
time, I'll get a runtime null pointer exception. Have anyone run into
anything similar? My guess is that somewhere some cache doesn't get
deleted/updated, however, I tried Clean, tried removing some cache
files, tried deleting and creating the project.

[flexcoders] Hslider scrubber won't work with some flv files

Re: [flexcoders] Hslider scrubber won't work with some flv files
Actually, to my surprize, this example does allow you to move the video, so it does actually work, however, the bar to indicate progress is a thick grey line, instead of the usual parallel lines. (usually when that happens, it won't work at all).

RE: [flexcoders] 2 default buttons in form
Gee, I hope not. The defaultButton is the button that gets clicked
when you hit Enter. I don't think you want both buttons to fire at the
same time do you?
You might want to have some focusIn logic that switches what the
defaultButton is.

Hello again,
OK, I'm sending the style swf as an attachment to this post. If it
doesn't work, I will email directly to you Alex (thank you very much for
your patience).
Alex, to answer your question about the location of the style swf: The
style SWF is local to my machine and lives in a subdirectory of the
project.
I named the flex project testRuntimeCss and the project files are in:
~/Documents/Flex Builder 3/testRuntimeCss/
The main MXML file is in the default location (src/) and the style CSS
and SWF files are both in assets/.
Let me also point out that in order to minimize the potential for
user-error on my part, I have re-done my test runtime css Flex Project
so that it follows the Adobe example at:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=styles_10.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=styles_10.html
I copied/pasted their example simple CSS into a file called
BasicStyles.css which lives in the assets/ folder of my project. For
completeness, here is the content of the CSS file, copied directly from
the Adobe help page listed above.
/* styles/runtime/assets/BasicStyles.css */
Button {
fontSize: 24;
color: #FF9933;
}
Label {
fontSize: 24;
color: #FF9933;
}
I then compiled the CSS file into a SWF with:
mxmlc BasicStyle.css
The resulting swf, BasicStyle.swf, is attached.
By the way, I am using the mxmlc app from SDK 3.0.0 (on Mac Leopard)
which mxmlc
/Applications/Adobe Flex Builder 3/sdks/3.0.0/bin/mxmlc
Another thing to point out is that I have done this both with Compile
CSS to SWF option for the BasicStyle.css file on and off. Both
approaches give the same result (runtime error -- described below).
I then copied/pasted the MXML content from the Adobe help page into my
main MXML file. Again, for completeness, here is the MXML that I used:
?xml version=1.0?
!-- styles/BasicApp.mxml --
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
mx:Script

}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Label text=Click the button to load a new CSS-based SWF file/
mx:Button id=b1 label=Click Me click=applyRuntimeStyleSheet()/
/mx:Application
When I debug in FB3, the application SWF successfully loads in my web
browser. But when I click on the button labeled Click Me, the
application crashes. The error I get is:
Error: Unable to load style(SWF is not a loadable module):
../assets/BasicStyles.swf.
Just before that error, I get the following trace which suggests that
the SWF style file was, indeed found.

selected is, 66, if I trace ColorPicker.selectedColor, traces 102. I
tried gooling for an Actionscript hex converter, but didn't come up with
anything. This is in order to display the selected hex# to the user as

Just additional information to make everything clear.

image1.source = list.selectedItem.photoUrl;
progressBar = new ProgressBar();
progressBar.indeterminate = false;
progressBar.mode = polled;
progressBar.label = Loaded %3%%;
progressBar.source = image1;
addChild(progressBar);
}
private function completeHandler(event:Event):void
{
// remove progress bar
removeChild(progressBar);
}
My mxml file has the following:
mx:Image id=image1 width=100% height=100% maintainAspectRatio=true
complete=completeHandler(event) /
When the image is being loaded, the progress bar shows progress but when
subsequent images are loaded the progress bar stays at the same state it was
when the first image completely loaded.
How do I reset it?

load subsequent images, it still shows the last status of the first
progress
bar. Is there a way to reset a progress bar so that it starts from 0
each
time a new image is loaded?
Thanks.

[flexcoders] alert button order
Anyone know if it is possible to control the order of buttons in an alert? According to the docs adobe has predetermined the button order for us. Currently the alert's buttons read [yes] [no], however our entire app has all our controls in reverse order [no] [yes]. This design decision is reflected in 100's of places through out our app and for consistence sake, we need to make alerts the same way. IMHO it seems extremely far fetched that we would have to go to such extremes as re- writing the alert class to put out buttons in a specific order. Is there something in the docs I am missing? Has anyone else discovered this shortcoming? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help and advice.
[flexcoders] how to handle pausing or selecting an item on datagrid with a wait
I'm trying to have action script handle selecting an item on the datagrid then loading a httpservice already defined. The code works in terms of selecting the item on the grid but only works on a second call ...it's almost like i need a pause in between the selectedIndex and the http service call. I also tried selecteditem but that doesnt work at all, at least i have it working on a second call but just wondering how to handle the call on the first try. stations_info_request.send(); //this sends off the http service station_searchgrid.selectedIndex=0; //this selects the item in the grid stationsearchgrid_click.send(); //this sends off the http service which gets a primary key from the selected item on the grid FAILS HERE !

Thanks, Tracy.
What I meant was that I was adding Objects like { object:myObject } to
ArrayCollection -
where myObject was an instance of a proxy class - and whose properties were
getting
changed.
I have now gone to a slightly different scheme, adding Objects like {
object:mpObject,

ArrayCollection, looking for match on 'object' - and, when I find that, I set

Also looked at describeType for newInstance() - it seems it's creating a
proper subclass of Canvas, in the global namespace.
The MXMLC compiler is smart enough to resolve and compile the following:
var t:NewComponent = new NewComponent();
But Builder's not smart enough to ctrl-click to the mx:component
definition.

[flexcoders] Re: new Component() ?
Amy,
and how would you add elements to the canvas?! or to the itemrender
itself? because the myRenderer wont have addChild so i can add new
elements. And how do you change the properties of the Canvas? You
adding the Class but you aint adding the whole component i was talking
about.
Suppose that i want to create for instance
mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
mx:Canvas backgroundColor=#000
mx:Image
source=@Embed('../assets/images/icons/clear_green_button.png') /
mx:TextInput text={data.firstname} alpha=0.5
click={test()} /
/mx:Canvas
/mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer
How i would create this on the fly and add to the itemrenderer?
this is just to ilustrate what i want. I will need to create different
components according to the parameters of my variables that's the
reason i'm struggling to do it dynamically.
If i only knew how to do this from AS3 it would help me a lot.
Thanks
This makes it sound like the equivalent to new Component() in AS
might be
myRenderer:ClassFactory = new ClassFactory(mx.containers.Canvas);
Presumably from there you can add stuff to myRenderer before using it
as your rubber stamp, but I've never personally used ClassFactory
for anything other than setting global properties on a class I
created in AS3 or MXML.
Is this a correct interpretation of how AS3 works?

[flexcoders] HttpService Request Parmeters
Coders, Think: HttpService used for REST service calls. On a POST method I would like to supply a user/password set of parameters in the following XML format. ?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'? login xmlns=http://mydomain.com/project; xmlns:foo=http://mydomain.com/parms; userfoo/user passwordbar/password /login Unfortunately the REST services are not subject to change, hence the need to follow their format. My research tells me that I'm asking too much of the httpService 'request'. Only the simpliest xml generation or form encoding is available. Any suggestions or ideas? thanks in advance.

You can POST arbitrary xml data to HttpService.

TextInput already implements IDropInListItemRenderer, so it can

IDropInListItemRenderer is the interface that lets components know

Re: [flexcoders] event listeners on Sprites - performance problem
Are all 10-15 markers visible at one time? If not, you might want to
consider the 'recycle' method that is employed with item renderers.
Either that... or have a single MEGA WONKA sprite where each marker is
drawn at the appropriate location.

I created a component what I call bookmark bar where there are markers that
you can click
to jump/scroll to a particular portion of a list (given the index). Similar
to Eclipse/Flexbuilder when you have
errors and there are markers on the right side pane that lets you jump to
the erroneous line. I am using
this for a datagrid using Canvas as parent component.
var uiComponent:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
addChild(uiComponent);
for (var i:int=0; i_dataProvider.length; i++) {
var bm:Bookmark = _dataProvider[i] as Bookmark;
sprite = new MySprite(); // extends Sprite. Creates an instance Sprite for
each marker
sprite.graphics.lineStyle(3, bm.color, 1, false, LineScaleMode.NORMAL,
CapsStyle.SQUARE);
sprite.graphics.moveTo(x, y);
sprite.graphics.lineTo(x + xOffset, y);
...
sprite.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, scrollToLine);
sprite.buttonMode = true;
...
uiComponent.addChild(sprite);
}
It works as expected but I noticed it is heavy on CPU and affects the
responsiveness of the
UI. CPU spikes at 55% to 60% even if I only have a few markers (10 to 15).
The lag is very noticeable because just hovering the mouse pointer over the
list,
the item highlighter, delay in rendering the display is very evident.
It doesnt happen on my app when I turn it off.
Am I doing this right? any workaround?

[flexcoders] Specifying pie chart fill based on data set
Is there any way to override how the fill color is determined for a PieSeries? I would like to use specific colors based on the data. For example, I have a series of data like this monday, 30 tuesday, 20 wednesday, 20 thursday, 20 monday, 10 sunday, 5 I would like to make sure both items with the label monday have the same color. I don't want them grouped together; I need to maintain the proper order of the data. Any suggestions? Thanks
RE: [flexcoders] Re: new Component() ?
Well, let's be fair. You can't create new class defs at runtime, and it
would help to have a better definition of the problem so we aren't
taking stabs in the dark.
However, to take one last stab, let's assume that Rafael is trying to
have declarative or runtime data-schema mapping to a renderer. The list
classes allow one field to be mapped via labelField and multiple fields
to be mapped via labelFunction, but if you use labelFunction you lose
the reverse mapping which a custom editor might want. IOW, if your
labelFunction merges firstName and lastName, and you want an editor to
parse apart what goes back into firstName and what goes back into
lastName, you need to identify those fields to the editor, and if you
want to re-purpose the same editor to work on some other pair
(managerFirstName, managerLastName), that should be possible as well.
A subclass of TextInput might have field1 and field2 properties that are
strings, and an overridden commitProperties that takes the data and
pulls the two fields from it. It might have an onFocusOut handler that
writes back the parsed string into those two fields.
You can just use the standard properties bag on ClassFactory to set
those fields or just set them in the mx:Component declaration
mx:Component
comp:MultiFieldTextInput field1=firstName
field2=lastName /
/mx:Component

achieve for the end user (and why you just can't use regular renderer
classes or labelfunctions) then we'd be able to give you alternatives
that make sense for your use case.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Web-based Sync data - Flex/Air VS.NET
It sounds like this won't matter in your case, but there is the often important point that flex and air applications run not only on Windows, but also on OS X, and maybe even on Linux as well. I don't know enough about .net to address this question, but I do wonder whether it provides for a desktop database, assuming that not all of your users have something like Access installed. The truth is that you could probably use SQLite along with .net, but I'm not sure how easy or difficult that would be. Adobe has done a pretty nice job of integrating Air with SQLite. There is also the question of whether you already have a bunch of programmers who are experts in .net, or have a bunch of folks who are experts in ActionScript. In my experience, programmers tend to be way more effective in an environment that they are already for Millie or with, as opposed to trying to learn a whole new environment on the fly. - Original Message From: itdanny2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2008 9:00:50 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Web-based Sync data - Flex/Air VS.NET But if the only to do the sync is to install a program in desktop.
