Re: [flexcoders] Re: filtering a flex datagrid using a slider with two thumbs
Shows how often I use the sliders. I didn't know you could use multiple
thumbs... This is not performant, you should be getting the max and min
within updateFilter() and sticking them in private vars, not in the filter
function itself... but you get the idea.
private function myFilterFunction(item : Object) : Boolean
{
return item.value =
Math.min(priceSlider.values[0],priceSlider.values[1]) item.value =
Math.max(priceSlider.values[0],priceSlider.values[1]);

Re: [flexcoders] ADG editable cells dataprovider
The only one approach to that problem is to fill the dataprovider with data. That's the way list components works. I found the same problem and I had to go that way 2008/8/5 Josh Millstein [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a ADG with a dataprovider that is set dynamically. I would like to be able to edit any of the cells in the datagrid but right now I can only edit cells that have information in them from the dataprovider. Problem is that when someone starts using my app there is no info in the dataprovider therefore not allowing me to click in the cells. I have the adg editable = true the colums editable = true , I put in some blank objects in the dataprovider, which is a half ass fix that is not going to work for other reasons. Does anybody know what I can do here to fix the issue? Thanks -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wolf%40wolffebrothers.com 785-832-9154
[flexcoders] Remoting fails
Hi, I have an app making a simple flash remoting call to CF and it works fine of multiple servers, runs in the local environment and returns a query from ColdFusion as expected. Problem is as soon as my client deploys on their company network the remoting call fails, no error message either, its as though it is not even leaving the app within the browser. I presume firewall could be a problem but am unsure as to where to go on this one? Any ideas anyone? Cheers, Simon

[flexcoders] Who is using the Framework Caching?
Framework caching is potentially a useful way to reduce the download required for each flex application. It doesn't benefit the user if there are not many sites using it as the total download of the flex app + framework as a seperate file is greater. I am working on some integration for a public site with a large Flex element, in an experiment with our app a normal Flex release build totalled 673k without framework caching and 426k with framework caching. This is all very good, but the framework as an swf for earlier Flash 9 player () users is 523k, that means the total download for a user without the framework cached is 949k. This is 230k more than if the framework cache is not enabled. Although it is good to help everybody out by using caching I would like to know what proportion of users will benefit and therefore what proportion of sites have implemented Framework caching. Does anyone have a figure on this? Thanks

[flexcoders] simple arraycollection question
I have a .as class extending arraycollection.

Probably missing something simple, but I just can't see it :( Thx
RE: [flexcoders] Who is using the Framework Caching?
that means the total download for a user without the framework cached is 949k Only the first time, the second time they visit, they get the benefits. I think what you've described is the hurdle that the majority of people are coming to. The initial download appears to be much bigger, so they veer away. So in the end, no-one caches it. I don't know if Adobe have numbers on this (or even if they can get numbers on this), but I'd imagine they'd be quite low. Gk.

Re: [flexcoders] Remoting fails
Odd, Charles seems to state that the crossdomain is failing however its temporarily open to * and still not working. I have since also discovered that the company has previously had to add proxyserver and proxyport params to access http calls. So if remoting uses http then how the heck can you define these params within the remoting call and why would it be necessary from the hosted swf server?

[flexcoders] Re: simple arraycollection question
I haven't run this code, but I don't see why it wouldn't work: this.source = event.result.source; I personally prefer looping through the returned collection and translating the raw objects into instances of a class I've defined. This allows for compile-time checking on anything you want to do with the local copies, and it lets you add methods and properties to those objects. var o:SomeClass = new SomeClass(event.result[i]); collection.addItem(o); --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Richard Baker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a .as class extending arraycollection.

[flexcoders] Re: How do I show only part of an image?
If you have a 64x64 image, you can set up a 16x16 mask:
mx:Image width='64' height='64' mask='{imageMask}' /
mx:Canvas id='imageMask' width='16' height='16' x='0' y='0' /
Then all you'd need to do is animate the canvas to relocate when you
need it to. Seems simple enough.. haha :D You could also reverse
it by moving the image rather than the mask.

Re: [flexcoders] Returning value inside a nested functions event?
By definition an event handler shouldn't return a value, since no object can
actually retrieve this value. You'll need to use some other way - perhaps you
could save the result in a private variable inside you class, or have the event
handler call another method. It depends on what you are trying to do.

I write .cfm files to test my code to ensure its working. Perhaps
writing a quick .cfm to validate you can hit the coldfusion server would
help...? That way you have better error reporting from the remote

Subject: [flexcoders] Remoting fails
Hi,
I have an app making a simple flash remoting call to CF and it works
fine of multiple servers, runs in the local environment and returns a
query from ColdFusion as expected.
Problem is as soon as my client deploys on their company network the
remoting call fails, no error message either, its as though it is not
even leaving the app within the browser. I presume firewall could be
a problem but am unsure as to where to go on this one? Any ideas
anyone?
Cheers,
Simon

[flexcoders] Re: Add a context menu to a menubar item
Ok, I have created a custom itemRenderer which displays my context
menu perfectly.
Now, how do I get at the menu item data that the context menu came from.
IOW, I left click on my menu bar which drops down a menu; I then right
click on a menu item (Let's say it is Show some Cool Stuff) which
brings up my custom context menu. I then left click on my custom
context menu item. This generates a ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT
event which I have an eventListener for. The trouble is, there is
nothing in that event that lets me know what the original item was
that was right clicked on.

Either this is really easy and I've missed it or it's really quite
difficult.
I have a MenuBar that is created from an ArrayCollection that is
returned from a RemoteObject call:
mx:MenuBar id=menuBar itemClick=menuHandler(event)
dataProvider={menuBarCollection} /
How would I get at each item so I can add a context menu to each menu
item?
Re: [flexcoders] Remoting fails
Hi Scott and thanks for the replies, I can hit it fine from a few
different servers cross domains ( BTW this is using the old flash
remoting for AS2 ) and this only seems an issue on this one particular
network whilst the swf is in a browser, hence me thinking this is a
firewall issue?
Apologise in advance for posting an AS2 related issue on this list,
however i am sure most of the peeps here are like myself and have had
fun in AS2 pre Flex :) so I thought why not ;)

[flexcoders] Application's height property problem
Hi, i want to set the height of my application dynamically.
My app has a tree menu to the left and product thumbnails on the right.
I want to increase the height of the application depending on the
number of rows displayed in my product thumbnails. (The goal is to be
able to scroll with the browser instand of scrolling inside a VBox)
I have a appHeight property in my ModelLocator class.
This property is changed when the product's dataprovider change.
Here is the structure of my application
mx:Application ... height={modelLocator.appHeight }
mx:HBox
mx:Tree height={this.height}.../mx:Tree
mx:VBox height={this.height}.../mx:VBox
/mx:HBox
/mx:Application
This is the way i think it should work but it seems that i can't
acheive what i want with this...the height does not change at all and
i think there is a limit to the height of the application because if
my heigh is 2000 or 4000 i don't see any difference...

[flexcoders] Event Phase clarification bubbling - please Diagram
Fellow FlexCoders... I am sitting here having a debate on how the event phases works in AS3. A couple of us have differing opinions of how events bubble, up or down, inside or out. Maybe I've always been a little confused exactly how bubbling works through the display object hierarchy, can you clarify?.. (from the docs, complete with typo) When an event occurs, it moves through the three phases of the event flow: the capture phase, which flows from the top of the display list hierarchy to the node just before the target node; the target phase, which comprises the target node; and the bubbling phase, which flows from the node subsequent to the target node back up the display list hierarchy. If I have 100 display Objects on the stage, is the top of the list 100, or is it 0? And, isn't the word top, a little confusing, because aren't the displayObjects actually containers? I bet if you work for adobe, this is on a diagram on paper, would the docs team mind adding it to the documentation, just because this really needs a visual aid. So if you can clear this up, then I will understand how the event phase works (and more importantly why it does not like in my current situation). What I want to achieve is have a nested child receive an events from one of it's parents? Bubbling is not working, which is odd, because, shouldn't the whole display list be traversed with bubbling set to true, eventually? The solution, I have used several times, is to add the listener to the application object in Flex, but that seems hackish to me. Thanks, for your time, because I really want to remove all doubt in this area once and for all, since i have been working with as3 for over 2 years now... Patrick

Re: [flexcoders] Event Phase clarification bubbling - please Diagram
Patrick - Events bubble up the parental chain from the dispatcher. So, your child will not ever catch an event that is dispatched by its parent (bubbling or non). Conversely, parents will always catch bubbling events dispatched by their children. This should also aid you in understanding why registering for the bubbling event out at the application level works. Your dispatching component contains the application in its ancestry (parental chain), so eventually the event will bubble up to that level. hth Scott djhatrick wrote: Fellow FlexCoders...

And go back to your original filterFunction:
if ( (city_cb.selectedLabel == All || item.city ==
city_cb.selectedLabel) (lct_cb.selectedLabel == All ||
item.location == lct_cb.selectedLabel) (item.value
priceSlider.values[0] item.value priceSlider.values[1])
){
result=true;
}
return result;

priceSlider.values[300] doesn't exist. Then as Alex suggests, walk
through the code with the debugger, or trace.

layout=absolute
applicationComplete=main()
mx:Script
![CDATA[
public function main( args : Array = null ) : void

for each( var component in [this, hb1, hb2, b1,
hb3])
{
component.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, logEvent, true );
component.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, logEvent, false );
}
}
private function logEvent( event : Event ) : void
{
trace( event.eventPhase, event.target,
event.currentTarget );
}
private function traceBubbling( event : Event ) : void
{
trace(bubbling, event.target,
event.currentTarget );
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:HBox id=hb1 width=100% height=100%/
mx:HBox id=hb2
mx:Button id=b1
/mx:Button
/mx:HBox
mx:HBox id=hb3 width=100% height=100% visible=false/
/mx:Application
output
1 TestBubbling0.hb2.b1 TestBubbling0
1 TestBubbling0.hb2.b1 TestBubbling0.hb2
2 TestBubbling0.hb2.b1 TestBubbling0.hb2.b1
3 TestBubbling0.hb2.b1 TestBubbling0.hb2
3 TestBubbling0.hb2.b1 TestBubbling0
if you switch hb3 to visible, so it covers the button, the output is
1 TestBubbling0.hb3 TestBubbling0
2 TestBubbling0.hb3 TestBubbling0.hb3
3 TestBubbling0.hb3 TestBubbling0
So it is exactly like the docs say. The event goes down the parent
chain to the leaf (which is the top most visible thing) and then it
goes back up to the root.
Cheers
Ralf.

The only downside to the whole event bubbling hooplah is that all your components, and all your children need to extend EventDispatcher or some component that extends it. Otherwise, you have to manually handle the re-dispatching of the event your self, basically bubbling the event manually through the chain. - jon
[flexcoders] theme color on combobox; is there no themeAlpha
So I have a combobox that I have styled using the flex style explorer, but something is amiss. When you mouse over the combobox the border color flickers, well I guess the theme color makes it look like it is flickering on mouseover. The border color seems to be fade from top to bottom so light to dark, but when you mouseover then the themeColor takes over and changes the color. I tried themeColor = null; but then when you mouse over the combobox it removes the border completely. So before mouseover combobox has border during mouseover no border (themeColor: = null). Is there a setting to remove mouseover? I don't want color or alpha changes happening on mouseover at all. Their is a setting for use roll over but when set to false it doesn't look like it changes anything.

Re: [flexcoders] Remoting fails
I wouldn't think it would be a firewall issue unless its on the remote
side and it has stateful packet inspection... It's all port 80 traffic,
so if you can browse to other sites then you can flash remote.
I had numerous issues with as2/flash remoting; so many that I dropped
developing in it about 1.5 years ago. I picked up flex 3 builder and
have not experienced any server attaching issues since. I'm starting to
do about 90% of my development in it.

Subject: [flexcoders] Remoting fails
Hi,
I have an app making a simple flash remoting call to CF and it works
fine of multiple servers, runs in the local environment and returns a
query from ColdFusion as expected.
Problem is as soon as my client deploys on their company network the
remoting call fails, no error message either, its as though it is not
even leaving the app within the browser. I presume firewall could be
a problem but am unsure as to where to go on this one? Any ideas
anyone?

[flexcoders] Snapping TextInput after Zoom Effect
I've got a combo box that, when altered, turns hides or unhides certain elements in the form. However, to keep those items from snapping in badly, I put a simple zoom effect on them. So now I watch VBoxes shrink out of view, as others bounce into view. It's a good effect, but I notice that the TextInput items seem to grow to a certain width, then snap to their correct widths once the effect is done. Is this unavoidable, or does it sound like I'm doing something wrong? Thanks for reading this, and I appreciate any help you can give.

[flexcoders] Re: Error: Service was not found in the Cairngorm Services registry.
Hi All,
I did lot of testing and Still cannot figure out why the
ServiceLocator is unable to get the RemoteObjects..
When i try to create a new Object using new
RemoteObject(SERVICE_NAME) it works. How ever the same code returns
null from my Delegate !
My Services.mxml looks like
[CODE]
service:ServiceLocator xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
xmlns:service=com.universalmind.cairngorm.business.*
mx:RemoteObject id=UserInformationFacade
destination=UserInformationFacade
/mx:RemoteObject
/service:ServiceLocator
[/CODE]
And my remoting-config.xml is as listed below:
[CODE]
destination id=UserInformationFacade
properties
factoryspring/factory
sourceuserInformationFacade/source
/properties
/destination
[/CODE]
My Application has the following code for initializing the Services..
business:Services /
Here is the Code i have in my Delegate:
[CODE]
public function LoginDelegate(responder:IResponder)
{
super(responder);
trace(Here in LoginDelegate() and responder =+responder);
// Initialize the Login Service..
if(service==null){
var serviceLocator:ServiceLocator =
com.universalmind.cairngorm.business.ServiceLocator.getInstance();
trace(Service Locator =+serviceLocator+ Service
Name =+Services.LOGIN_SERVICE);
service =
serviceLocator.getRemoteObject(Services.LOGIN_SERVICE);
trace(Service from Service Locator =+service);
if(service==null){
trace(Geting the Service using the RemoteObject
+Services.LOGIN_SERVICE);
service =new RemoteObject(Services.LOGIN_SERVICE);
trace(Service =+service);
}
}
trace( service in LoginDelegate() =+service);
}
[/CODE]
So here i am trying to get the RemoteObject first from the
ServiceLocator and if it returns null i am trying to create it
diretctly and it is giving null either way..
How ever when i try to create it from my view it returns the Remote
Object..
[CODE]
private function init():void {
//creating remote user information object
trace(Here in init() of Login.mxml);
userInformation= new RemoteObject(UserInformationFacade);
trace(UserInformation =+UserInformation);
}
[/CODE]
in my flashlog.txt i have the trace log..
[LOG]
Here in Init()
Services =[object Services]
MyView =Login288
Here in init() of Login.mxml
UserInformation =[RemoteObject destination=UserInformationFacade

Here in LoginDelegate() and responder =[object Callbacks]
Service Locator =[object Services] Service Name

Service from Service Locator =null
Geting the Service using the RemoteObject UserInformationFacade
Service =null
service in LoginDelegate() =null
Here before making a call on the Delegate
Here in login and service =null userId =[tuser2] password =[password]

LoginEvent Dispatched =true
[/LOG]
Thanks for your help

[flexcoders] Data caching dto's
I was wondering if anyone has done any caching of data in Flex? And if so how did you do this? I have an application that pulls in up to 500 items and converts them to DTO's. The app then runs a routine, which generates objects based on those dto's. The generation of objects is very memory intensive so I need to reduce this to increase usability as right now the user has to wait until all 500 objects are created. I would like to be able to generate say the first 10 objects based off the old data, if the data hasn't changed since the last time the data was grab (via httpservice) then run the routine to create the other 490 objects. So sorting by saying N changed?...yes through out, N + 1 changed?no keep create object, N + 2 changed? yes through out.N+10 stop. Run...routine recreate the other 490 and stick them back in the correct order. Make sense?

[flexcoders] List IconFunction with Button renderers
Hi all; I'm trying to use an iconFunction with a TileList that has just a plain Jane unextended Button as its itemRenderers. I'm trying to use the iconFunction to set the icon on the buttons, but it doesn't seem to me that the button is recieving the information from the ListBase. I have verified that my iconFunction is returning a Class and that the ListBase is seeing that return. Is the button component designed to be able to recieve and act on this information, or am I barking up the wrong tree here? Thanks; Amy
RE: [flexcoders] Flex Module issue
The more interesting question is why the second one isn't. Because all
of your references to the module are in temporary local variables, as
soon as you exit the click handler, the module is available for garbage
collection, and in the first case it got collected and the second it
didn't, but usually a module's arrival forces a gc.

click on a menu item (Let's say it is Show some Cool Stuff) which
brings up my custom context menu. I then left click on my custom

Re: [flexcoders] Where are the AIR resources?
Ok, so after all this discussion (thank you by the way) I came to the realization that what I needed to do is be running my Flex swf as trusted. So I moved it and all my in-house created support swf to the app directory so they are installed with the app. So far so good, as I already had support for loading my resources from a different path by setting a var in the embed code. Now I have a new issue in that when you hit Esc in my Flex swf I call both a ExternalInterface call and an fscommand to let the container know about it. I had it working where my hosting html page was getting these calls, but now it doesn't seem to be. I would have expected it the other way around where as non-trusted the calls would get lost and as trusted they would work. Any ideas?

[flexcoders] Must call super.commitProperties at END of overrided commitProperties when extending TitleWindow?
I don't think I've seen anything like this before and maybe I'm just going
crazy.
I've got a class that extends TitleWindow, it has a few setters and some of
these can affect what the displayed title should be. These all use
invalidation flags and don't get fully committed until commitProperties. If
I call super.commitProperties() at the beginning of my commitProperties
function, and then change the title somewhere else in that function, the
title NEVER gets commited. I've stepped through the code and I really can't
see why. There are only two places in Panel.as that modify _titleChanged. I
see it getting flipped to true in the setter, then when commitProperties
gets around to executing, the flag is magically false?
Anyways, if I call super.commitProperties after I do all my work and
possibly modify the title, everything is fine, except it looks really whacky
because I've had it ingrained for years that you always call super class
functions at the beginning...

Re: [flexcoders] Must call super.commitProperties at END of overrided commitProperties when extending TitleWindow?
The title property is simply a property that gets passed to the title
UIComponent in commitproperties. Timeline:
1. You call super.commitProperties()
2. super.commitProperties() sees that this._title hasn't changed since the
last commitProperties(). so doesn't set _myTitleComponent.title (or
_titleLabel.text, whatever, but you get the idea)
3. You change this.title to Boo!
4. super.set title() sets this._title = Boo!
5. super.set title() calls invalidateProperties()
6. Flex realises you're already inside this.commitProperties for the
instance in question, and ignores the invalidateProperties(). - If it
didn't, you'd get an endless loop.
Result: The title on screen doesn't get updated in this validate
properties phase.
Next time your commitProperties gets run, when you call this.title = Boo!
it checks, realises that this._title *already* equals Boo!, so it never
marks the _title property as changed, so super.commitProperties() never
bothers to update _myTitleComponent.title
Result: It *never* makes it to the screen.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: filtering a flex datagrid using a slider with two thumbs
It's probably just a personal preference. You're thinking max and min thumbs, I'm thinking between foo and bar :) I was just thinking about the use case where the user has min = 1000, max = 2000 and wants to set min=0, max=800 - without thumb overlapping, you've gotta move the min thumb first, which may momentarily annoy the user if he grabs the max thumb first and tries to set it to 800...

Panel.as my call to set title sets _titleChanged = true, which should cause
that logic block to execute in the next commitProperties. Maybe I was off in
debugging and never hit another invalidation pass.
This does bring up a point about the invalidation mechanism however. Because
I really shouldn't know which properties are handled with invalidation flags
in a class I'm extending, I should always put the call to
super.commitProperties at the end of my commitProperties functions just in
case something in that function changes a property that calls
invalidateProperties. I definitely don't want to rely on another frame
calling invalidateProperties as it may never happen and I can't control when
it happens. What if a function call in commitProperties ends up dispatching
an event and some handler code executes that modifes title or some other
code handled by an invalidation flag. Only way to guarantee all those
changes are picked up is to call super after my code executes, which still
looks bizarre to me.

After a quick poke around in Panel.as, it seems that what I described isn't
*exactly* what's going on, you might want to do some single-stepping to see
where it's going wrong. But the root probelm is the same, and the solution
isn't to put super.commitProperties() at the end of your method. You
shouldn't be setting any properties on super from within your
commitProperties(), it's a bad idea. I haven't seen your class, so I don't
know why you're setting title yourself, but let's say your class has a
user property, and you're setting title = user.firstName... In that case
you want to set this.title inside your this.set user() method rather than in
commitProperties().

Ok, so after all this discussion (thank you by the way) I came to the realization that what I needed to do is be running my Flex swf as trusted. So I moved it and all my in-house created support swf to the app directory so they are installed with the app. So far so good, as I already had support for loading my resources from a different path by setting a var in the embed code. Now I have a new issue in that when you hit Esc in my Flex swf I call both a ExternalInterface call and an fscommand to let the container know about it. I had it working where my hosting html page was getting these calls, but now it doesn't seem to be. I would have expected it the other way around where as non-trusted the calls would get lost and as trusted they would work. Any ideas?

In theory I can compile a 'local' version, but there are some webservices that I would like to consume even on the desktop.

Good thing we have that security check otherwise if you downloaded a spyware SWF, someone would be stealing your identity. So, no matter what, if you suck down SWF bits and launch them locally, please find a way to validate them against a man-in-the-middle attack. We have a SHA library you can use. Once you truly trust the SWF bits, the next question is why your SWF needs network access. If it doesn't, turn it off and you won't get warnings. If it does need network access, I think your choices are to find a way load it into a trusted directory (users can opt to trust certain directories, or you somehow get it into the same directory as the main SWF), or proxy the network I/O or file system I/O through the main app. I don't think HTMLLoader or an intermediary HTML file is going to help. -Alex From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com ] On Behalf Of Steve Mathews Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2008 10:48 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Where are the AIR resources?
