RE: [flexcoders] Changing Root Node attributes
I've just spent the last 8 hours attempting to get an XML document bound
to a data provider, and fell into the following gotcha - my problem was
that the default xmlns on the document can't be defined. There may be
other factors involved here, but what was happening was even though I
was passing in a structure similar to yours below every XMLList property
would end up with something like root sids=58 xmlns=MyDocument
(even though it wasn't passed in via the actual XML). I couldn't access
anything via .Child(module), for example, until I had got rid of that
default.
While this might not necessarily be your problem, it certainly doesn't
help, and took two of us ages to track down. Needless to say, we won't
be making that mistake again, and after getting that all sorted it was
relatively painless to traverse the XML document of the elements we had
in our DOM.

Subject: [flexcoders] Changing Root Node attributes
Hello All,
I need your help again.
I make a call and get in return a XML. With this XML, i feed my tree's
dataprovider. It is something like this:
root sids=58
module url=home label=Home sid=52/
module url=grantees label=Grantees sid=53/
module url=multimedia label=Multimedia sid=54/
page label=Contact Us id=2 redirect=contact sid=55/
page label=Privacy Policy id=7 redirect=privacy sid=56/
page label=Apply for Grants id=5 redirect=apply sid=57/
/root
The thing is, at some point i need to get the sids from the root
node (so far no problem, i'm using
XML(tree.dataProvider).attribute('sids').toXMLString() and it works)
but the catch is that i need to change it to 59 and i can't manage to
change it no matter what.
Any one could throw some ideas so i can solve my problem ? please? :P
thanks

Re: [flexcoders] Changing Root Node attributes
Can you not use [new QName(*,nodeName)] to get nodes regardless of
namespace in E4X? I haven't tried this, but it makes sense to me.

Re: [flexcoders] Eh. How does this still work?!
Hi, in my understanding, FB only uses webroot for the deployment of your application so that you don't need to copy the files to the server after each compilation. Is it what you are doing now? For the localhost question, if the uri of the endpoint doen not contain the server address, then flex uses the one from which it is being loaded. Bye.

[flexcoders] Trouble applying background color to a spanned ADG column via custom renderer
Guys and gals,
I'm stumped. I am trying to apply a custom text and background
color to (initially) a specific cell in my grouped ADG, using a renderer
provider and a custom renderer. The colors are coming from my dataset
(part of the user's stored configuration preferences) and the text color
is working perfectly. However, nothing I do is rendering the cell's
background color the same way that the text color is doing. I've tried
style functions, renderers, etc without luck. Any ideas?!?!
Here is the code:
My ADG column def:
mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn
id=groupedKitNum dataField=KitNum headerText=Kit Number
headerWordWrap=true textAlign=left width=75 editable=false /
My renderer provider:
mx:AdvancedDataGridRendererProvider
id=subgroupRenderer column={groupedKitNum} depth=1 columnIndex=1
columnSpan=4 renderer=renderers.GAPSubgroups.SubgroupRenderer/
My renderer code:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Text xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
implements=mx.core.IFactory
width=100% height=100% paddingLeft=2 paddingRight=2
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.utils.ObjectProxy;
override public function set data(dataItem:Object) : void
{
if (dataItem.children[0] is ObjectProxy)
{
htmlText = dataItem.children[0].Description;
setStyle(color,dataItem.children[0].TextColor);
setStyle(backgroundColor,
dataItem.children[0].BackgroundColor);
}
}
public function newInstance():*
{
return new SubgroupRenderer();
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:Text
When I've walked through the code in the debugger, I can verify that the
the background color is indeed being passed in the data set...it's just
being ignored!
Anyone have any ideas?!
Thanks,
Adrian
[flexcoders] Omit last element in DataGrid sort
Hi all, I've got a problem with a custom overriden AdvancedDataGrid I've made : I want to exclude, or omit the LAST element (that I've stored in a property of my overriden DataGrid) in sorts. For example, let's say that I'm going to sort column #1, which is provided with strings, and all I want is the normal sort to occur, except for the last item which is to stay where it is.. I also want this modification to be global (that's why I've overriden the component). I've tried several approaches : - Overriding the protected methods sortHandler and headerReleaseHandler (found in AdvancedDataGrid). - Overriding the method addSortField. The last attempt proved to work better, but alas doesn't sort more than once : I can't revert the descending property of the SortField. Any idea on how to do that ? Big thanks in advance Pierre
Re: [flexcoders] Problem syncing multiple sound objects playing simultaneously
Hey Mat,
There is a whole slew of bugs that started popping up when Adobe made some
changes to how audio is handled. The problems start around version 9.0.115
on. That being said... the current version of flash player is still
affected, 9.0.124. You can track these bugs here:
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-33
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-127
Some people have work-arounds posted (you can find them in the above links),
also it seems that Flash Player 10 has fixed this issue as well. It is
unclear at this moment whether or not they will apply the fix to Flash
Player 9 in an update, or if we just have to wait until Flash Player 10 goes
public.

Over time, the files start to fall out of sync. I have a timer to move a
slider marking the speech's progress, and in that, every once in a while, I
trace the positions of the sound channels. I see variations of more than
100ms. If I try to correct them I have to first stop that sound and then
play it from the appropriate position, and that introduces a slight skip.
The sounds get out of sync even more if I move the positions back and forth
through a function that is controlled by the slider move event.
Is there another way to keep these multiple sounds in sync?

[flexcoders] How to terminate construction
I'm new to flex and just getting my feet wet with AS3. Today's questions are: How do I force a constuction request to fail? How do I make a property value required for construction? For example, if I have a construction argument that must meet a certain standard and this standard is not enforced automatically in the type declaration, how do I prevent the object from being created if the standard is not met. I assume a setter / getter combination could be applied if the standard is based specifically on the value of a property. But even here, I don't know how to force the property to be a requirement for object creation.

For EVERY page I add (after the first two), I see this EXACT sequence of [SWF] messages (including the exact bytecounts). In addition to just being annoying, this sequence takes 2-3 seconds per page, which obviously limits the total number of pages I can print before the 15 second timeout occurs.. SO, here's the question... Does anyone have any insights into this? Are there any settings that I can use to alert the machine running my app that it needs to allocate more memory to the SWF's version of a heap? When I originally wrote the print wrapper dialog for this application (in Flex 2), I don't remember seeing any of this, and it was tested with HUNDREDS of pages per printJob, so I SUSPECT that this is a new behavior in Flex 3.

There are some things that Flex does incredibly well, and some that it does not... and text-based content portals is one that Flex is not great for. For the same reasons I'd argue that Flex is not a good choice if you want to create a blogging platform.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Getting a reference to a itemRenderer of a chart series
When you do this in a MXML, I almost sure that it will be transformed on a setStyle(itemRenderer, ...) in actionscript. There is no other way of doing this on actionscript. To apply a renderer to a series in ActionScript, you use the setStyle() method. In that method, you create a new ClassFactory and pass the renderer to its constructor. Flex generates an instance of this class to be the renderer. Be sure to import the appropriate classes when using renderer classes. But you gave me a solution - when I set the itemRenderer for one serie, in fact I´m setting the itemRenderer for all items of this serie. So, I can really get a reference using the serie´s items array, like you said or, more especificaly, like this: CustomItemRenderer(ColumnSeriesItem(ColumnSeries(chart.series[index]).items[index]).itemRenderer That was easier than I thought it was.

Re: [flexcoders] Re:Looking for a Flex forum.
Is SEO still an issue when writing a Flex application? I would argue that it's not. A) Google (Yahoo coming soon if not already) now indexes content within a SWF. This includes dynamic content as well. Using dynamic deep linking and a site map that points to different content in the SWF helps a great deal with this. B) If A isn't enough, you could always use mod_rewrite (or similar technology) to take a link structure and pass parameters down into a SWF to determine the view state and content. In addition, the server side script could print an html version of the content in the background which would allow search engines to index the content and give non-flash users access to the information as well. The only down side to this approach is you can not update the URL bar while the user browses through the application since anchor links are not passed through to the server (to my knowledge). This can be compensated for by displaying a link to this page in the application. Anyways, sorry I couldn't answer your original question better.

RE: [flexcoders] id of element inside repeater gives an error
When you get your component repeating, know that it will automatically
create an indexed array of references to the repeated components using
the base id string. For example, doing:
GeometryGroup id=ing_mask...
You will be able to use ing_mask[n] to get a ref to each repeated

RE: [flexcoders] Re: HTTPService Synchronization
I use a single HTTPService instance, and a single result handler. The send() method returns an AsyncToken, which is a dynamic object to which you add most any kind of property you want. The result handler function can access this AsyncToken and read those proerties. I typically set a callId, which is a string that identifies the call, and sometimes a nextaction property when I invoke a dataservice call. In the result handler, I use a switch statement to conditionally work with those properties to determine the next appropriate processing step, which obviously can include another dataservice call. The switch statement can get pretty long, but is easy to understand, debug and modify. With a single breakpoint, I can monitor every result.

[flexcoders] Framework RSLs -- Any Reason Not To Use? Any Problems Related to Their Use?
Hi, I am on a team that is pushing into production a public facing Flex application on the Internet. We have configured the app to use the Flash Player's caching of the Framework RSL. Before going live, I am posting here to see if anyone has experience that causes them to caution against using the Framework RSL (e.g. framework_3.0.0.477.swz)? I have seen the following post by Dmitri Girski's with his analysis on where RSLs offer the most benefit (Thanks Dmitri :-): http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/108149 But I have not had luck tracking down any horror stories. I certainly am heartened by this lack of horror stories. However, if by using the Framework RSL we might be introducing any risks or pitfalls, we sure would prefer to know before we go live, rather than hear about them from our customers ;-) If anyone might have advice they are willing to share, we would be most appreciative if you could be so kind as to share your experiences.

[flexcoders] ArrayCollection.refresh breaks scrollbar in ADG
1) I call disableAutoUpdate() on an ADG's dataProvider (an ArrayCollection added as mx:HierarchicalData). 2) I add a thousand items to the grid. 3a) If I now call items.enableAutoUpdate(), things work fine, but the refresh takes a really long time, because a thousand events are fired. There's actually a comment in the ListCollectionView code saying this might be a problem. 3b) So instead, I call refresh() on the ArrayCollection. The thousand items get added very quickly, but the grid has no vertical scrollbar. I can tell the items are there, because a few of them appear when I resize the grid. In ListCollectionView.internalRefresh(), it looks like very little happens unless there's a sort or filter function. The pending updates queue is deleted, and a COLLECTION_CHANGE event is dispatched. Maybe that's enough... Is there anything I can do about this? Is there a function which will specificall recalculate and render the scrollbar? Or do I have to optimize ListCollectionView.handlePendingUpdates myself?

Re: [flexcoders] Framework RSLs -- Any Reason Not To Use? Any Problems Related to Their Use?
I think mainly you just need to be aware of the size implications (both good and bad). By using the framework RSL you are removing the framework from your SWF, which will reduce your SWF size by quite a bit. However, you are also requiring the loading of the full framework RSL. The full RSL includes all the framework classes, not just those used in your SWF, so this RSL is actually larger than the savings that you have gotten with your smaller swf. But this framework RSL can be cached and can even be cached from other people's apps. So if someone visits your app without ever having loaded the RSL (either from you or another person's app) then their initial load time will actually be longer than if you did not use the RSL. However,if they have viewed another Flex app that used the RSL, then your load time will be faster. The other thing that I've heard is that you can't monkey patch framework classes if using the RSL, since that gets loaded after your main app, the RSL framework classes take precedence.

The above being understood, we have decided to proceed with using the Framework RSL because repeat visitors, and hopefully even many first time visitors will enjoy smaller and therefore faster downloads. Regarding monkey patching we have not done that in this app. We certainly will be mindful of this if we should we, in the future, do any monkey patching (aka underriding core framework classeshttp://dougmccune.com/blog/2007/08/17/my-360flex-slides-and-code/ ).

Re: [flexcoders] Framework RSLs -- Any Reason Not To Use? Any Problems Related to Their Use?
A related question for Matt or someone from Adobe... didn't Google announce sometime back that they are hosting common JavaScript frameworks? The idea being that people could link to those to ensure that download speed was super fast and that they could be cached more easily? Any thoughts on Adobe hosting a version of the framework RSL on a super duper balls to the walls fast network, so we never have to worry about the 500+k loading being a bottleneck on our end?

[flexcoders] Re: Framework RSLs -- Any Reason Not To Use? Any Problems Related to Their Use?
You may also look out for an issue we ran into. The path to our framework RSL was not the default (same folder as main app swf). For some reason when compiling on FB3, we would get framework RSLs in both the path we wanted and the default (same folder as main app swf). The framework RSLs in the path we wanted were bad and wouldn't load when trying to load the web page. As it turned out, the RSLs in the path were copies of those that come with the framework. It has to do with matching digests (all security concerns). So in our release build, we'd get those extra RSLs with our main swf, and RSLs where we wanted them. A simple cut/paste fixed the issue, but it took us a few hours and builds to realize what was going on with the framework RSLs - no fun that's for sure! :D --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Doug McCune [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think mainly you just need to be aware of the size implications (both good and bad).

Re: [flexcoders] How to terminate construction
IIRC, if you throw an error from the constructor the object will still be instantiated but not constructed: ie, memory allocated, instance initialisers run (the code after the = in public var memberVariable : Object = but the constructor function will be aborted, and there'll be no reference to the instantiated instance, so it'll be scheduled for garbage collection. So if there's something you want to make sure doesn't happen, make sure it's done in the constructor and not on a variable definition. Just something to keep in mind :) -Josh On Tue, Sep 9, 2008 at 2:53 AM, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Try throwing an error in the constructor *From:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *rss181919 *Sent:* Monday, September 08, 2008 8:02 AM *To:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com *Subject:* [flexcoders] How to terminate construction I'm new to flex and just getting my feet wet with AS3.

[flexcoders] Issue when converting HashMap(Java) into Object (ActionScript)
I have this weird issue and i can't figure it out, let me explain:
I have a java object A which has a HashMap variable myMap, this map
will hold objects of class B. In ActionScript i have the corresponding
class A which has a variable myMap but since there is no HashMap in
ActionScript its type is Object and i also have the corresponding class B.
[RemoteClass(alias=com.test.A)]
public class A {
public var myMap:Object; // this is the HashMap in Java
}
[RemoteClass(alias=com.test.B)]
public class B {
public var id:Number;
public var name:String;
}
I need to put the objects B contained in the map inside a DataGrid so
i am obtaining the object of class A using a RemoteObject and then i
iterate over the myMap property using a for each in loop, like this:
for each(var i:* in objectA.myMap) {
someArrayCollection.add(i);
}
The first issue appears here, suppose the java HashMap contains 3
elements, in the ActionScript loop i get 4 elements, the fourth one
being a reference to the A object (its key appears as owner). In
order to avoid this i use the is operator like this:
for each(var i:* in objectA.myMap) {
if (i is B) {
someArrayCollection.add(i);
}
}
Now here is the real issue, when i do this the B objects contained in
the myMap property are reset to their initial values (NaN and empty
string according to the B class). I changed the if condition to this
and worked:
for each(var i:* in objectA.myMap) {
if (!(i is A)) {
someArrayCollection.add(i);
}
}
When i did this the DataGrid shows the elements in the
someArrayCollection perfectly fine. I did a little more testing and i
figured out the issue, if i use an instance of class B anywhere in
my application, the values of the B objects inside the myMap property
are reset, for example:
for each(var i:* in objectA.myMap) {
if (i is B) {
someArrayCollection.add(i);
}
}
var test:B = new B();
This resets the B objects inside the myMap property of the A object
which makes no absolute sense, this is why when i used the B class in
the if condition the objects reset their values.
So the thing is whenever i use the B class, which is the class of the
objects inside myMap, the B objects are reset Does anyone know how
to fix this?
I am using Flex 2.01 hotfix 3, i wonder if this is some kind of bug
that was solved in a later release.
Any help would be appreciated.

Also for styling those scroll bars and scroll er within the container do i have to use CSS or there is any other way too.(By styling i mean if I can give my own look and feel and color to the scroll bars in containers). Reply will be appreciated. Thanks guys Anuj
Re: [flexcoders] Issue when converting HashMap(Java) into Object (ActionScript)
The problem I think is you're using the wrong data structures.
If your Java map looks like this:
HashMapint, String myMap;
What you'll get in Flex isn't what you've got below, it's an object like
this:
var mymap : Object =
{
1: String 1,
2: String 2,
79: Blue
}
Not the structure that you're trying to coerce it to based on the code you
posted. But since this is clearly just example Flex code and I have no
idea about what your Java looks like, I'm just guessing.

I have this weird issue and i can't figure it out, let me explain:
I have a java object A which has a HashMap variable myMap, this map
will hold objects of class B. In ActionScript i have the corresponding
class A which has a variable myMap but since there is no HashMap in
ActionScript its type is Object and i also have the corresponding class B.
[RemoteClass(alias=com.test.A)]
public class A {
public var myMap:Object; // this is the HashMap in Java
}
[RemoteClass(alias=com.test.B)]
public class B {
public var id:Number;
public var name:String;
}
I need to put the objects B contained in the map inside a DataGrid so
i am obtaining the object of class A using a RemoteObject and then i
iterate over the myMap property using a for each in loop, like this:
for each(var i:* in objectA.myMap) {
someArrayCollection.add(i);
}
The first issue appears here, suppose the java HashMap contains 3
elements, in the ActionScript loop i get 4 elements, the fourth one
being a reference to the A object (its key appears as owner). In
order to avoid this i use the is operator like this:
for each(var i:* in objectA.myMap) {
if (i is B) {
someArrayCollection.add(i);
}
}
Now here is the real issue, when i do this the B objects contained in
the myMap property are reset to their initial values (NaN and empty
string according to the B class). I changed the if condition to this
and worked:
for each(var i:* in objectA.myMap) {
if (!(i is A)) {
someArrayCollection.add(i);
}
}
When i did this the DataGrid shows the elements in the
someArrayCollection perfectly fine. I did a little more testing and i
figured out the issue, if i use an instance of class B anywhere in
my application, the values of the B objects inside the myMap property
are reset, for example:
for each(var i:* in objectA.myMap) {
if (i is B) {
someArrayCollection.add(i);
}
}
var test:B = new B();
This resets the B objects inside the myMap property of the A object
which makes no absolute sense, this is why when i used the B class in
the if condition the objects reset their values.
So the thing is whenever i use the B class, which is the class of the
objects inside myMap, the B objects are reset Does anyone know how
to fix this?
I am using Flex 2.01 hotfix 3, i wonder if this is some kind of bug
that was solved in a later release.
Any help would be appreciated.

[flexcoders] Re: Issue when converting HashMap(Java) into Object (ActionScript)
They keys in the Java map are Strings and the values are B objects,
you could say it is HashMapString, B.
So suppose in Java i do this:
A objectA = new A();
objectA.myMap = new HashMap();
B objectB1 = new B();
objectB1.id = 1;
objectB1.name = Test;
myMap.put(key1, objectB1);
In Flex if i iterate over the myMap property:
for each(var i:* in objectA.myMap) {
if (i is B) {
trace(i.id + + i.name);
}
}
Doing this resets the B object inside myMap, so the trace prints NaN
and empty string.
If i dont use an instance of B:
for each(var i:* in objectA.myMap) {
if (!(i is A)) {
trace(i.id + + i.name);
}
}
The trace prints 1 Test.
The main issue is that if i create an instance of B anywhere in my
code, the B object inside myMap resets.
The second issue is that inside the myMap property there are two
objects instead of just one, this additional object is a reference to
A and its key is owner, so the myMap property looks like:
var myMap:Object = {owner:the A object, key1: the B object};
I have no idea where this reference to the A object comes from, but i
can live with that, the main issue is that i can't use the B class
because if i do the B objects inside the map are reset.

Right, I see. I suppose you may be doing something funky in the constructor
for your actual impl of A or B. Try commenting out the constructor and see

[flexcoders] Re: Issue when converting HashMap(Java) into Object (ActionScript)
Um actually my example is wrong, i was missing something, let me
explain again:
I have 3 classes as a matter of fact, classes A and B are correct but
i forgot to mention that inside B there is an object C:
[RemoteClass(alias=com.test.B)]
public class B {
public var id:Number;
public var name:String;
public var myC:C
}
[RemoteClass(alias=com.test.C)]
public class C {
public var testVar1:Number;
public var testVar2:String;
}
A objectA = new A();
objectA.myMap = new HashMap();
B objectB1 = new B();
C objectC1 = new C();
objectB1.id = 1;
objectB1.name = Test;
objectC1.testVar1 = 2;
objectC1.testVar2 = Hello;
objectB1.myC = objectC1;
myMap.put(key1, objectB1);
Now here is the deal, the only property being reset is the C object,
the id and name properties are not reset
for each(var i:* in objectA.myMap) {
if (i is B) {
trace(i.id + + i.name);
trace(i.myC.testVar1 + + i.myC.testVar2);
}
}
The first trace works fine, but the second trace shows NaN and empty
string.
If i change the code to:
for each(var i:* in objectA.myMap) {
if (!(i is A)) {
trace(i.id + + i.name);
trace(i.myC.testVar1 + + i.myC.testVar2);
}
}
Both traces work fine, prints 1 Test and 2 Hello.
Like you said i have some logic inside the B constructor:
public function B() {
myC = new C();
}
I commented the constructor and instead of getting the values reset i
got an error saying i tried to access a null reference, since C is
null (if i don't use an instance of B then it works fine).
So i am kinda back where i started, when i use the B class the C
object inside each B object is reset.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Issue when converting HashMap(Java) into Object (ActionScript)
Sounds to me like you're accidentally declaring b.myC as a static, perhaps.
Actually, double check your examples (perhaps using the link report option
on MXMLC). It might be that you're not actually referencing B and it's not
becoming part of your SWF, in which case you're getting a best guess
object where you think you're getting an instance of B (you can't check for
is B without including it in your swf, but you can check for !(is A)
without including the B class.
In which case, it's the unmarshaller that's killing your data when trying to
convert it to a B (becuase now it knows to do it, once you've referenced the
class and it's in your SWF). Double check how you're defining C in your Flex
*and in your Java*.
Also, if it's the unmarshaller that's the problem, I'd definitely try a
compile against Flex 3.01 and see if the problem goes away. If you've got a
smallest-failiing case project for this bug it should only take you a few
minutes.

B objectB1 = new B();
objectB1.id = 1;
objectB1.name = Test;
myMap.put(key1, objectB1);
In Flex if i iterate over the myMap property:
for each(var i:* in objectA.myMap) {
if (i is B) {
trace(i.id + + i.name);
}
}
Doing this resets the B object inside myMap, so the trace prints NaN
and empty string.
If i dont use an instance of B:
for each(var i:* in objectA.myMap) {
if (!(i is A)) {
trace(i.id + + i.name);
}
}
The trace prints 1 Test.
The main issue is that if i create an instance of B anywhere in my
code, the B object inside myMap resets.
The second issue is that inside the myMap property there are two
objects instead of just one, this additional object is a reference to
A and its key is owner, so the myMap property looks like:
var myMap:Object = {owner:the A object, key1: the B object};
I have no idea where this reference to the A object comes from, but i
can live with that, the main issue is that i can't use the B class
because if i do the B objects inside the map are reset.

The problem I think is you're using the wrong data structures.
If your Java map looks like this:
HashMapint, String myMap;
What you'll get in Flex isn't what you've got below, it's an
object like
this:
var mymap : Object =
{
1: String 1,
2: String 2,
79: Blue
}
Not the structure that you're trying to coerce it to based on the
code you
posted. But since this is clearly just example Flex code and I
have no
idea about
