Re: [flexcoders] Re: Problem with scaleX for system fonts!
Try scaling only in one direction (X or Y) and you will see that it doesn't
work. However it does with embedded fonts. I think scaling in both
directions with the same value makes flex use another font size, but real
scaling only can be applied to embedded fonts. Anyway, this limitation will
be removed in Flex 4 (Gumbo) and we will be able to do what we want with
text without the need to embed any fonts :)
Bye!

Re: [flexcoders] Custom List Renderer Memory Leak
Can you paste the code snippet that update the list? Cheers, Claudiu - Original Message From: darkcube86 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2008 7:49:53 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Custom List Renderer Memory Leak I have a list which always displays 3 items using a custom list renderer. As items are added to this list, the last one in the list is removed (FIFO Queue), and a DefaultListEffect is used to animate incoming and outgoing items with a fade effect. The problem is that after some time (~5000 items passed through this list) the memory usage gets very very high, and if I profile the application I can see that instances of my renderer are not being removed. In order to solve this I attempted to create a factory that would cache the tiles and reuse them and use that as my itemRenderer instead, but unfortunately it appears that if I reuse a tile that has already been used it doesn't show up at all. I thought this was probably due to the list effect setting it to invisible, height 0, etc... so I attempted to reset all those settings before passing the item from the factory to the list, but it still just isn't working correctly. Is there a way to reuse the renderers and still have them show up properly to alleviate my memory leak?
[flexcoders] What is the command-line equivalent to Flex Builder's Build Project.. Command?
In my program, I have been receiving an error when I use a command-line compile command for mxmlc. The error is related to an embedded font name not being correctly identified by flex in the system fonts list. However, on a whim, I decided to copy the code to Flex Builder and compile it there. To my surprise, it worked, and it found the proper font using the same system name I had given (PMingLiU). I suspected my problem may be a locale one, and that my system cannot correctly identify the font name because of locale considerations. I've tried setting the locale of the compile code to en_US, to no avail. So I would like to ask if anyone here knows the exact command string that Flex tells Mxmlc whenever it compiles a project. My answer might lie there.

Setting up a sting in MXML can look different than if you set it in

[flexcoders] Re: Alert.show - Detect when closed from another mxml component
In addition of Application.application.method(), you should be able to have in your Alert component (or the component that is aware of the Alert box and can detect a close event), something like this Application.application.dispatchEvent(new Event(MyAlertEvent.ALERT_CLOSED)) and in the other component that you want to be aware of the closed alert have Application.application.addEventListener(MyAlertEvent.ALERT_CLOSED, someMethod). More generally, the solution is to have one component dispatch and event to and another component listen to an event from an object that both components are aware of. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, sleblang [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for all the suggestions.

[flexcoders] Resizeable Components in a Tilelist
I'm new to flex and OO based development, so I'm probably missing the point somewhere, but here's my problem. I have a created a component (QuestionComp) based on a canvas, that will display a box with a question label and answer input box as well as a couple of other things. On my main application, I have used a tilelist and linked it to my questions datasource and rendered each item using my QuestionComp component. This does the job of displaying what I want. My problem comes in that I want to resize the QuestionComp (if they press a button to add comments). I have a function in the component to change the Canvas size, but this doesn't seem to modify the way it's displayed in the tilelist. Is there something I need to do, to tell the tilelist to redraw the tile. Probably a really dumb question, but I've googled it and not found an answer. Many thanks Mark
Bug in player 10? (was: Re: [flexcoders] WTF? When pasting into a textarea (on mac), all my newlines disappear!)
It works on my laptop which is on Flash 9, so it could be a bug in Player
10. When I get back to work I'll downgrade, test it and re-upgrade to verify
it :)

I think I get what you're meaning but I've not got a mac and I'm not
seeing the issue on my PC (is the issue happening on a PC). If you look
at the debug window it will not show you the \n or \r but if you look at
the value next to the name of the var in the debug window you will see
the \n or \r chars. You could alternately look at the htmlText property
and you should see all of the formatting there.

Re: [flexcoders] Chart fails when used in module

[flexcoders] Flash

Re: [flexcoders] dividerSkin problem
Hi Guy, There is no logic in the divider container that checks the minimum width or height of the dividers relative to the size of their container. I don't think this is to weird on Adobe's part since they usually have a policy (unwritten) that chrome is not part of the measurement algorithm. The dividers are considered chrome and exist in their own UIComponent layer . You probably could subclass and add this measurement but it's not that easy since the DividedBox by nature does not like calling measure(). They do this for performance and relates to their layout implementation.

This seems very wrong to me. I've tried using clipContent=true but that makes no difference. I've also tried using a vector-based SVG image as the skin, but that doesn't help either. Am I doing something wrong or is Flex just a bit stoopid in this regard? What possible justification could there be for a HDividedBox with a custom skin to allow it's custom divider to be drawn outside it's own bounds?

[flexcoders] QTP Flex Add-in problem with some FlexDataGrids
I am trying to automate Flex application with Adobe QTP Add-in. The problem is that content of a few FlexDataGrids is not recognizable by QTP. When such DataGrid doesn't have content, everything is fine. DataGrid itself and the header are recognizable. The issue takes place if content is entered in cells. Object Spy sees sells and the header as WinObject. DataGrid itself continues to be recognizable. HeaderClick and SelectIndex are working, but extract information from cells is impossible. Environment: Flex 2.01 HF2, compiled with 2.0.1 HF2 automation libraries QTP 9.2 QTP Flex Add-in 2.01 HF2. I've already submitted this issue to Flex Adobe forum, but didn't get any respond so far. The problem is critical for our automation, so I would appreciate any help.

Re: [flexcoders] drag drop invokes click handler of dragged compoent
Hi Prashant, You can try using mouseUp event instead of click event. But you will also have to write some extra logic to check if the drag is being performed.

Re: [flexcoders] drag drop invokes click handler of dragged compoent
The DragManager has a useful method to save you the trouble: isDragging(), I think. I needed to do something like this just yesterday... I have a list or words in one list and then the synonyms for the selected word in another. I want to be able to drag a word from the first list to the second list (saying This word is also a synonym etc). However, when you try to drag the word, the selection changes and so the 2nd list updates with the synonyms of the second word! All I did was to use DragManager.isDragging() to prevent updating of the 2nd list when dragging. Then when dragging finished (dragComplete), set the selected item of the first list back to its pre-drag state. SAAGAR SHETTY wrote: You can try using mouseUp event instead of click event. But you will also have to write some extra logic to check if the drag is being performed. You may set some boolean variable on drag and check it on mouseUp event handler. If it is set then do not do anything. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/drag-drop-invokes-click-handler-of-dragged-compoent-tp20085668p20112727.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
[flexcoders] Re: sailorsea21 - Does anyone know why this code works with Firefox but not with IE?
Sounds like IE is caching the result. Try programatically changing the url of your HTTPService by tacking on a querystring parameter with a timestamp. So, change the url to http://www.whatever.php?ForceIEReload=20081022T11001234. Your PHP script will ignore the extra parameter, but it might force IE to not cache. Here's a link that discusses IE caching and a workaround. http://www.howtoadvice.com/StopCaching Jared Langdon
[flexcoders] Re: How to remove space at the end of line chart when using disabledDays = [6,0]!
I've been using Flex to plot some financial charts, using the mx:DateTimeAxis as my horizontal axis to show the date and time of the plot. When plotting annual info, I'm able to use the disableDays feature to remove Saturday and Sunday from the plot. While this feature has its own set of problems (performance, incorrectly shrinking the plot's width) I've been able to work around those glitches to my satisfaction. I also been rendering intra-day financial charts, and sometimes multi-day intra-day charts. In other words, I'll be displaying stock data from 9:30am Monday through 4:00pm Wednesday, using minutes as the unit of measure for my horizontal DateTimeAxis. My problem is that I'd like to hide the periods of the day in which there is no trading activity when displaying a multi-day-intrady plot. So in my example of rendering an intra-day plot of Monday-Wednesday, I'd like to remove all of the overnight periods between Monday-Tuesday and Tuesday-Wednesday. If it was an annual plot, I could use disableDays and provide an array of the day values that the Flex chart component should remove, but is there a way to do this when the unit of measure for the horizontal DateTimeAxis is minutes instead of days? Thanks!

[flexcoders] Charts - How to filter dataprovider by date?
Hi everyone, I've spent hours over several weeks looking for a hint of an answer to this, perhaps my situation is unique. I have a database, that through necessity, has the data for multiple items, we'll call them different tests. Now if I use this database for a chart's data provider, it will of course display along the x-axis, all entries which currently exist. So if there are 10 entries, I'll get 10 data points, whether anything is plotted on the y-axis or not - just a default line chart, no other parameters set, it's not important yet. Okay, so lets say that out of the 10 currently existing data points in the db, only 5 are relevant to me at the moment. I've figured out how to select the five I wish by defining them in the y-axis series, however the remaining 5, still of course exist in the data provider and are shown along the bottom of the chart and because the data is not relevant to my selection, appears as zero, no data. I've probably lost you, so let me explain what I want to do. I would like to be able to filter the data presented in the data provider, before the chart is rendered. So if I wish to show only 5 of the 10 available points in the table, I can do so. Now, can this be done simply by manipulating the x-axis or is it required to be done perhaps with sql calls to the database. How about a hint about how I can filter or control the data delivered in the data provider. Thanks,
[flexcoders] How does one cancel/unaccept a drag-and-drop operation in Flex 3?
Goal: Allow the user to delete a record by dragging a row from an
AdvancedDataGrid, dropping it onto a trash-can icon and verify the
user meant to do that via a popup alert with OK and Cancel buttons.

[flexcoders] Using HTTPStatus
Hi, all. I've been trying to implement this example: http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/11/04/detecting-whether-an-image-loaded-successfully-in-flex/ However, it appears that many browsers do not send an HTTP status to Flash, as described on LiveDocs: If Flash Player or AIR cannot get a status code from the server, or if it cannot communicate with the server, the default value of 0 is passed to your code. A value of 0 can be generated in any player (for example, if a malformed URL is requested), and a value of 0 is always generated by the Flash Player plug-in when it is run in the following browsers, which do not pass HTTP status codes to the player: Netscape, Mozilla, Safari, Opera, and Internet Explorer for the Macintosh. Does anyone know of a workaround for Firefox to detect whether an image is present on the server before trying to load it? Thanks.

Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2008 15:21:42 - Hi everyone, I've spent hours over several weeks looking for a hint of an answer to this, perhaps my situation is unique. I have a database, that through necessity, has the data for multiple items, we'll call them different tests. Now if I use this database for a chart's data provider, it will of course display along the x-axis, all entries which currently exist. So if there are 10 entries, I'll get 10 data points, whether anything is plotted on the y-axis or not - just a default line chart, no other parameters set, it's not important yet. Okay, so lets say that out of the 10 currently existing data points in the db, only 5 are relevant to me at the moment. I've figured out how to select the five I wish by defining them in the y-axis series, however the remaining 5, still of course exist in the data provider and are shown along the bottom of the chart and because the data is not relevant to my selection, appears as zero, no data. I've probably lost you, so let me explain what I want to do. I would like to be able to filter the data presented in the data provider, before the chart is rendered. So if I wish to show only 5 of the 10 available points in the table, I can do so. Now, can this be done simply by manipulating the x-axis or is it required to be done perhaps with sql calls to the database. How about a hint about how I can filter or control the data delivered in the data provider. Thanks,

You can give the illusion that the DataGrid is not selectable by
extending DataGrid and overriding the drawSelectionIndicator function

import mx.controls.listClasses.IListItemRenderer;

height:Number, color:uint,
itemRenderer:IListItemRenderer):void
{
/* don't call super and don't draw the selection indicator */

Another hack would be to set the selectedIndex to -1 on the DataGrid
change event.

[flexcoders] URL redirect and close Alert window
Hello, Currently, I have an application that opens in a new window. It is created in Flex and is linked to from another page on my site. Currently, I have the flex application page open up using target=_blank. When the user goes to the new page, they are given a form and when they submit the data, an Alert box pops up telling them their information was submitted. What I was wondering is whether or not it would be feasible to take them back to the original window on the website from which they clicked on the link to go to the Flex application. So, the user clicks OK, in the Alert box, the page that opened with the Flex application, closes and they are back where they left off. If that can't be done, can I have it where the user clicks OK in the Alert and they are redirected to the original web page? I guess the least desirable choice would be to have an HTML link that says Return to Home Page wrapped inside an anchor tag. I know in AS 2.0 there was a simple goToUrl command that I could put on button. I did a search on that and it doesn't seem to be a part of AS 3.0. I didn't see anything in the Alert class that would allow the user to be redirected when they close the Alert Box. Thanks, Bruce

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to keep Tree control synchronized with the database. Please Help
Hi Anuj, i would go for Paul's recommendation with some small variations: 1) if the application is single user, the you do not need to poll, you can insert the data directly in your data source as at any given point you know that new nodes are added to the database. For example: You do some sort of backend call to insert new staff in the db and in the response handle you update the tree data source manually via addChild or similar (depending on xml array collection and so on). 2) if your application is multiuser, i would go for 1) and at the same time poll the db with a timestamp or last id, so you ask only for new data (insertions or deletions) and then manually update your datasource... It might be slightly more complicated but you have far far less wire communications, db and backend processing and so on...

Alert.show(Do you really want the world to End?, Kill Everyone,
Alert.YES | Alert.NO, this, worldEndHandler);
The other item you are looking for is navigateToURL:
private function worldEndHandler(event:CloseEvent):void
{
if (event.detail == Alert.YES)
{
navigateToURL(new
URLRequest(http://armageddon.com/sayhellotogod.html, '_self');
}
}

Hello,
Currently, I have an application that opens in a new window.
It is created in Flex and is linked to from another page on my site.
Currently, I have the flex application page open up using
target=_blank.
When the user goes to the new page, they are given a form and
when they submit the data, an Alert box pops up telling them their
information was submitted. What I was wondering is whether or not it
would be feasible to take them back to the original window on the
website from which they clicked on the link to go to the Flex
application. So, the user clicks OK, in the Alert box, the page that
opened with the Flex application, closes and they are back where they
left off.
If that can't be done, can I have it where the user clicks OK
in the Alert and they are redirected to the original web page? I
guess the least desirable choice would be to have an HTML link that
says Return to Home Page wrapped inside an anchor tag.
I know in AS 2.0 there was a simple goToUrl command that I
could put on button. I did a search on that and it doesn't seem to be
a part of AS 3.0. I didn't see anything in the Alert class that would
allow the user to be redirected when they close the Alert Box.
Thanks,
Bruce

[flexcoders] viewStack is slow opening the first time
I'm building an app with 4 stacks in my viewStack with a wipe in and out effect. The Stacks are just different views of the data, a generic datagrid view, a bar chart view, and a couple others. The default datagrid view is fine but the others, such as the bar chart, needs to do some calculations before displaying that chart. Because these calculations are being done the first time you click the button it's slow in opening that view. Is there a way to display the busy cursor, or maybe a way to do the calculations in the background before they change the view? I'm connecting to a web service then splitting out the data into a few different arrayCollections. Each view is a custom component that is bound to it's specified arrayCollection. Any thoughts?

Suppose you used Time to delay about 5 seconds after application.creatonComplete, then either set creationPolicy=all or manually call createChildren() on the desired views?

[flexcoders] Sound issues in Player 10
I started getting reports that our product quit working in Flash Player 10 so I started investigating it. I found that loaded audio, video with audio and swfs with audio all quit working. So if you look at http://www.flypaper.com/product/quicktour.aspx with player 9 installed, then with 10 you can see that it doesn't work. In this case it is a loaded swf that has the animation and audio on the timeline. I have put together several test cases but all of them work fine. At this point I can't think of any reason this would quit working in player 10. Has anyone seen any issues like this, or can someone from Adobe give me some advice on tracking down the issue? I would log a bug in the tracker, but without a test case I can't really say what is wrong. Thanks, Steve

Do it again and then b1 points to a different Button.. The mxml tag notation not only refers to the Button class but also instantiates a seprate instance, so you would get ten different buttons.
