[flexcoders] Custom DataDescriptor calling remote service
I'm writing a data descriptor for a tree representing some remote filesystem hierarchy. I want the data descriptor to call a remote service every time the user opens an item. However, the data descriptor assumes synchronous retrieval of children etc. At the moment, I have to read in the entire hierarchy at once when the tree is initialised. However, this is not appropriate because: 1. Its not scalable: this tree could get huge and so lead to an unacceptable initialisation time 2. Changes (since initialisation) to the hierarchy are not reflected Is it possible to write the DataDescriptor using asynchronous calls? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Custom-DataDescriptor-calling-remote-service-tp20768055p20768055.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
[flexcoders] Flex and SOAP 1.2
Hi, looking for *any* way to consume SOAP 1.2 webservices (esp. WCF ones with binding type wsdlHttpBinding) without requiring us to handcode any of the interfaces on the client side That means: we want to give some tool a WSDL URL, and then can code against the webservice with no further work required. Whether the WSDL is parsed at compile-time or run-time is of lesser importance. Code we can freely use and distribute is ideal, but we would consider anything right now, such as WebORB or even an enterprise license to LCDS. Anyone had any experience with WebORB/LCDS who can inform me without doubt that one or other of them implements the whole SOAP 1.2 specification? Thanks, Jules

Re: [flexcoders] Game Architecture
Hi, it depends on your game... Have not done one in flex, but I have made flash versions in the past and a game socket server in java. It actually depends on your game... If it is check backgammon (turn based games) i Would go with RemoteObject calls which are probably the cheaper in resources... I have not used JMS (messaging) so I do not know the related overhead in comparison to plain old sockets... Anybody else here that can throw some light on this? Flex AMF based messaging or sockets? PS: Flash 10 supposedly supports some kind if RTP protocol which at some point will allow the creation of peer-to-peer applications, but all references mention that it needs an adobe backend server that is not even in the market yet.

[flexcoders] QTP Build Issue
Hi,
I am having difficulties building a QTP-enabled application via the Ant
mxmlc/compc tasks.
The structure of the project is a Library Project (Common.swc) and a Main Flex
Application (Main.swf), which links to the Library Project.
Building the application using Flex Builder (including the four automation/QTP
libraries) produces a SWF around 1.8MB is size, which is recognised by QTP.
Running the same build via an Ant script, produces a SWF around 1.1MB in size,
which is not recognised by QTP as a Flex Application (only a
MacromediaFlashPlayerActiveX object).
Below are the four different builds and their results:
Flex Builder (No Automation)
Common.swc - 1.5MB
Main.swf - 1.1MB
Flex Builder (Automation)
Flex Compiler arguments:
-include-libraries automation/qtp.swc automation/automation.swc

[flexcoders] Open source question.. regarding Flex project 2007
Does anyone know how to solve this possible legal issue. I created a website I wish to fully open source. The programmer and I both own shared rights to code in our area's (mine: front, his: functionality). Recently he has simply gone round me and published on the front-end which was my section with regards to e.g. authorship, copyright law here in the Netherlands. (he earns money off doing this of course.. basically at my expense ) My question is.. Can I simply publish the whole project for developers 'open source' or do I still need some kind of permission from him?? do I need it anymore, at all, ever? We had no formal contracts, I see it this way; the trust has been broken so I don't feel I need his permission anymore.. if at all, but am curious what you all think.. Kind regards, Sam

[flexcoders] [INFO] FLEX Effects slowing down with time
Just wanted to pass on this bit of information as it may be very difficult to find an answer for this on the web. Maybe it could help someone some day. I was building an application that was using a Zoom flex effect when the user would mouse over a UIComponent. It was working very well but I noticed that it would become sluggish with time. The more the zoom effect was activated, the slower it would become. I searched left and right for the cause of this and I finally found the solution when I approached the problem from a different angle. In my updateDisplayList function, I was drawing on the canvas using some graphic methods. Basically, I was just drawing a circle using the lineStyle(), beginFill() and drawCircle() methods. Nothing new here. However, I also realized that I was not clearing up the canvas using the clear() method before drawing. This was the problem! I suppose that the flash plugin stores all drawing commands in a buffer and executes them when it renders the scene. By not clearing the canvas first, I was adding more drawing commands with each call to updateDisplayList ... and with a tween, updateDisplayList is called many times! Therefore, if you ever notice that your effects are slowing down with time, make sure that you called graphics.clear() before drawing on the UIComponent.%-| -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-INFO--FLEX-Effects-slowing-down-with-time-tp20770945p20770945.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Crash of safari, firefox using XML.setChildren for XML in a XMLListCollection
The docs are a bit misleading when it comes to XML. Try using XML with the tree, it works great. The warnings occur because most of the properties you deal with are dynamic objects, which are not bindable. Solve that by casting(object as XML) or converting(XML(object)) the object to the underlying XML. Do your nodes have unique id's? That makes things simple. That is a very arcane way to delete a node. Remind me, what was the problem using removeItemAt()? Were you using it with the selected nodes parent, and the selectedNodes child index?

If you are using XML, then you delete a node using the delete operator and an e4x expresaion: delete myXML.myNode.(myexpression)[0]; Ah ... thanks! I'll try this. NOTE: You cannot use a variable containing a reference to the node you want to delete, you must use the expression directly Um... but this might be a hinderance. I'm trying to react to an event generated from the Tree control (or rather a delete button, to delete selected branch)... I get the node in tree.selectedChild. Right now I'm getting the index of the child in the parent using childIndex, going up to the parent, making a copy of all the children *except* for the current child in a new XML List then setting the children of the parent using setChildren -- this tends to crash when the XML is in an XMLList which is the source of an XMLListCollection. But when it doesn't crash, I'm calling validateNow() on the Tree, then attempting to set the selectedChild to be the child of the XML before the node I just deleted -- this doesn't always work though. If anyone has any suggestions to replace this seemingly much to complex process with one that works better, I'd be very grateful! The concept of an index seems inherently linear. I don't know how one would implement it in a hierarchy. I have never been tempted to try to use it. Um... well the Tree provides both selectedChild and selectedIndex... the later could be a path in the tree to get to the node, for example. [ list of indexes -- one for the top level XMLList, then the child's index in the parent down to the item selected. Or on the other hand if this isn't supported, then probably the class heirarchy should be reworked a little, get rid of selectedIndex for Trees. (Not that I'm complaining -- flex is obviously lightyears better than javascript.)

My problem is I am not sure how many children I will have or what the structure will look like. I am doing a tree so I can have n number of nodes or children, and I am not sure how to build the return object/array. Your app will probably perform better if you don't try to build the whole tree at once. But you might want to google on recursion. Essentially, the principle is to use a function that works on an object in such a way that if the object has children, the function will call itself again for each child. That's not as difficult as it sounds, once you get your head around it--you just have to trust the recursion to do its thing and not force it. Probably someone has even posted some recursive PHP examples. Another way to approach it is to use the composite pattern and just populate the first level of objects, then once each object is instantiated it will start pulling down its own children and so on. This is sort of how I handle it, but I didn't make it where that always happens automatically so that if those resources are needed for something else the process can be interrupted. Oh, and one last thing...if your database technology isn't set in stone, you might want to consider using SQL Server, because Shape queries are made for this. AFAIK, other databases don't have anything that does this quite so nicely. HTH; Amy

Re: [flexcoders] Game Architecture
Depends on the number of simultaneous clients and the time-impact. One note to take into account is security of the game - using sockets does not scale in direct user to user communications unless limited to one or two.

Can you give me some more details on the security issues relating to remote objects? How do you notify the other client when one client has taken a turn with remote objects?

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 3 - Export to Microsoft Excel?
Yes and no. 1) You can send the data back to a server, have it generate the Excel file and send it back to the user's browser. 2) With Flash Player 10, you can save a file to the local PC...so generate a CSV file and Excel should open it assuming it is the default program for that file type.

Re: [flexcoders] Looking for what this[iscalled]
If you define lung as a public field of the class Whale, then it is no

I wouldn't exactly say it like that. Dynamically accessing a property of an
object using the [] operator (as opposed to using the dot syntax) has some
special implications, the most important being type checking, both at
compile-time and at run-time.
If you have something like,
package
{
public class Whale
{
public var lung:Lung;
}
}
the compiler will rightfully choke if you tried to do something like
var humpback:Whale = new Whale();
humpback.lung = new Gill();
But it wouldn't be able to notice if you did it like this:
humpback[lung] = new Gill();
or
humpback[leg] = new HairyLeg();
There, you'd get your type coercion and property errors only until runtime.
It does have its rightful uses, of course, and you might want to check
about
dynamic classes, etc. but you should be mindful about them.

[flexcoders] WebService using a bindable hostname
I have the following code:
[Bindable]
private var myServerHostPort:String = af arf;
!--wsdl={myServerHostPort}/channel.asmx?wsdl--
!--wsdl=http://localhost/mmo/channel.asmx?wsdl--
!--wsdl=@ContextRoot()/mmo/channel.asmx?wsdl--
mx:WebService
id=channelList
concurrency=single
rootURL={afariaServerHostPort}
wsdl={myServerHostPort}/mmo/channel.asmx?wsdl
fault=faultHandler(event)
makeObjectsBindable=true
mx:operation
name=GetChannelList
makeObjectsBindable=true
concurrency=single
result=resultChannelListHandler(event)
mx:request xmlns=
transmitterAddress{wsTransmitterAddress}/transmitterAddress
channelFolder{wsChannelFolder}/channelFolder
/mx:request
/mx:operation
/mx:WebService
My application is defined as:
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute
creationComplete=initializeApplication()
width=1100 height=800
In the debugger, I can see the initialApplication() function being called.
private function initializeApplication():void
{
trace('initializeApplication: myServerHostPort:'+myServerHostPort);
myServerHostPort = NetworkUtil.getServerURL();
trace('initializeApplication: myServerHostPort:'+myServerHostPort);
}
In the debugger, I see the myServerHostPort = 'af arf', then it is
changed to something correct: http://localhost
After I hit F8, I get this fault reported:
faultDetail=Unable to load WSDL. If currently online, please verify
the URI and/or format of the WSDL (af arf/mmo/afaria/channel.asmx?wsdl)
You see here it is still using the original value instead of the one
set in the initializeApplication() function.
So 2 questions:
1. Why is it even calling this WebService automatically? I only want
to call it when I call it. For some reason it is being called
during the initialization process and I don't want it to.
2. Why is it using this old value? If it is a [Bindable] variable it
should be using that.
3. If someone can't offer a way to fix this, can you suggest
alternatives.
I have tried making the WebService calls via ActionScript myself to
bypass the issue, but the loadWSDL() never seems to complete and there
are no errors thrown.
public function initWebService():void
{
CursorManager.setBusyCursor();
WS = new mx.rpc.soap.WebService();
//location of the Web Service Description
WS.wsdl = myServerHostPort+/channel.asmx?wsdl;
WS.endpointURI = myServerHostPort+/channel.asmx;
//GetChannelList is the WebService method we want to use
//and we want the results returned in the e4x XML format
WS.useProxy=false;
WS.requestTimeout=2;
WS.destination = GetChannelList;
//specify the function that will handle the results
//returned by the operation
WS.GetChannelList.addEventListener(result, resultChannelListHandler);
//specify the method that will handle any faults
WS.GetChannelList.addEventListener(fault, faultHandler);
//specify the method that will handle the
//the event of loading the WSDL
//once the WSDL is loaded we will call
//our method in the function loadHandler
WS.addEventListener(load, loadChannelListHandler);
//Load the WSDL for this WebService
WS.loadWSDL();
}//end function useWebService
private function loadChannelListHandler(e:LoadEvent):void
{
CursorManager.removeBusyCursor();
wsdlLoaded = true;
ta.text = wsdl loaded + \n\n;
}
Thanks for any feedback.

[flexcoders] Is there any Name -Value Pair concept for Arrays?
Hi All I am retrieving some data using HTTP from PostGres database. I would be successfully able to put all the entries in UDN's in the list box (using REST Calls). Now my requirement is that I need to display an attribute name Friendly name which is already in the database as the label (VISUAL entry ) in the list but when user performs different operations like drag and drop, I need the complete string in form XML to be send. So to make long story short I need to display friendly name as list entries but behind the curtain that label have exact complete value coming from the Database. Now is there any way that I can tell my data provider (which is an Array in my case) that to display just the specific attribute for the database and while doing operation send the whole value. Any links, examples and help will be appreciated. Thanks Anuj

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 3 - Export to Microsoft Excel?
If you send the data to the server, create the Excel file there, then send the result back to Flex, you will have the full power of the numerous server-side Excel file creation methods at your disposal. If you want the chart in Excel to look the same as it looks in Flex then you might have to convert it to a bitmap first. Either that or recreate the chart on the server. If all you need is a simple copy/paste solution, then the method Paul mentioned would be easier to implement. -Mike Chabot On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 1:13 PM, sailorsea21 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi everyone, is it possible to export to Excel?

[flexcoders] Debugging scrolling - minimum width
Do any of the standard layout components (Application, Box, Canvas etc. have a default size or minWidth that might be triggering a horizontal scrollbar even when there appears to be plenty of room onscreen? I have a rather complex and heavily-nested layout, some of which is template-driven, and for the moment I want *no* scroll bars ever. I can resize the window vertically to very small, but in the horizontal direction a scrollbar appears much sooner than expected. i.e. the primitive labels/buttons and the like are far from bumping into each other. Any debugging tools or tips also welcome. eg. an inspector component I could embed or popup that would let me navigate through the hierarchy and set properties. I am reluctant to go through the hierarchy setting scrollPolicy off, because I think that tends to mask problems (by all means correct me if I'm wrong).
[flexcoders] how to play partially downloaded local flv file ?
Hi, I'm building a FLEX / AIR application that will need to download flv files to the local harddrive (files may be downloaded by parts), and as soon as enough of the video is stored locally, display the video in the GUI. Currently my prototype uses a Stream to write the downloaded bytes to a file, and a FXVideo is used to play it. When enough bytes are stored on the local file, the source of the FXVideo is set to start playing the video. The problem we encounter is the following: - if we keep the stream open to write downloaded data, the FXVideo fails to open the video - if we close the stream after each write, the FXVideo opens the video and starts playing it, but the application fails to reopen the stream to write next bytes. Clearly this looks like a file lock issue, but I couldn't find any work arround or fix for it. Anyone knows a way to do this ?
[flexcoders] Redirect from Alert
Hello all, I was wondering if you could explain some things or suggest some options. I have a page that opens in a new window and displays a Flex form. When the information is submitted and they click on Submit, an Alert Box appears. I want to have a way to take people back to the main site, such as the index page. Is there a way to include a redirect with an Alert Box? Or could there be some kind of way of handing the results of clicking OK on the Alert box, so that when someone does click on that OK button, it then redirects the person to a webpage? In that scenario, I guess what would be needed is an event listener for the Alert box control. I have this form appearing on a page by itself because the background gradient image doesn't look as good with the rest of the website background. However, I don't want to leave a person on the form page when they finish submitting the form. I'm a bit embarrassed to say this but I'm not sure how to add a link to such and such page from a flex application. How would I add a button or link on that page that would say, Click here to return to the home page. I want to put that into the Flex application. I do want to know how to do this.

As an additional clarification... So, it is like this. 1) User is at regular html page and 2) User clicks on link Contact Form Page - this page is based on a Flex application. It is surrounded by html, obviously, but mainly it is a Flex application. 3) From within that Flex application, I want them to be taken to the original page where they were in step #1.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 3 - Export to Microsoft Excel?
I just completed a project with this as a feature.

How does one reference files like images when using an mx:html tag and

This doesn't work. The image doesn't appear but the alt text does. I
tried playing with the value in the src attribute of the image object
in the html string to no avail. I tried app:foo.jpg, app:/foo.jpg,
app://foo.jpg, and /foo.jpg. I event tried @Embed(source='foo.jpg'). I
have copies of foo.jpg in the project root, the src directory, and in
bin-debug. Nothing works. I feel a bit silly posting this because it
must be obvious, but I've searched and searched for the answer with no
luck. Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] LCDS - Data Management Service Problem
Hi Bart,
I don't remember all of the detail from the old flashlog you sent but have a
theory as to what is happening.You are doing two operations - creating a
new item and adding it to the managed list. If those two operations get put
into separate batches - i.e. so that we do the create first on one request to
the server before it is added to the collection, the server does not
immediately send that create to the other client. It is not yet subscribed
to that item. When the second operation comes in - add the item to the
collection, we push that add identity to collection operation to the other
client first - it performs the insert but at this point only has the identity
of the object. When you access it, we throw the IPE, then fetch the related
object.
This is not ideal obviously... since you have paging off there shouldn't be
pending errors on that collection.It is of course an easy matter to just
iterate through the list in your collection event handler once to be sure all
of the data is fetched before doing your operation. In this code you catch
any IPE's that are thrown, then re-call your method in the IPE's responder.
It might also be a simple matter to make sure both of those changes go in the
same batch. In this case, it might simply be a matter of removing the
explicit createItem call or setting autoCommit=false and just calling commit
yourself after the end of the operation. The createItem is not needed as
adding the object to a managed collection will automatically create it... in
fact, when you call createItem you are creating a detached instance.
I'm not sure why I thought this was fixed in 2.6 though maybe was thinking you
were doing both of those operations in the same batch.After 2.6.1 was
released I did get the bug fix in which suppresses IPEs altogether for
non-paged collections until the related data is fetched. We basically just
delay the insert until the item is available, then send the collection event at
that time.

I Forgot to mention the link from our previous conversation :
http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders@yahoogroups.com/msg99657.html
a question for Jeff Vroom (or other livecycle experts out there..)
Hi Jeff,
A few months ago I had problems with the Data Management Service of Livecycle.
The problem was
as follows :
- I have a managed collection of users
- on the server I use the AbstractAssembler approach to manage the collection
- on one of the clients I add a user (calling the createItem function of the
DataService)
- on the clients I connect an event listener connected to the
users-arraycollection (that gets called when the arraycollection users changes)
:
users.addEventListener(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE,
createLabels);
- The createLabels function simply adds buttons to an HBox
private function createLabels(event:CollectionEvent):void
{
hbox.removeAllChildren();
for(var i:int=0; i users.length; i++)
{
var user:User = users.getItemAt(i) as User;
var button:Button = new Button();
button.label = user.name;
hbox.addChild(button);
}
}
- Now when I run my flex client, I always get the following error :
Error: Item requested is not available. A request for the item is now pending.
It shows that while users.length is equal to 2, I get the error above when I
the application executes the statement users.getItemAt(1).
In our previous conversation (see link below), you said this was a bug in
Livecycle 2.5 and that is was fixed in Livecycle 2.6,... However,
we are currently using Livecycle 2.6.1 in combination with JBoss and the
problem still exists ... Can you help us out ?
Thank in advance !

RE: [flexcoders] Is there any Name -Value Pair concept for Arrays?
Skip the Array entirely.
Use the devicesCollection directly as the dataProvider:
nvrsInPoolList.dataProvider = devicesCollection;
Then do:
mx:List id=nvrsInPoolList
labelField=[EMAIL PROTECTED] .../
labelField tells List what to display.
Then nvrsInPoolList.selectedItem will contain the entire xml node and
you can access any value from it,

I wouldn't exactly say it like that. Dynamically accessing a property of an
object using the [] operator (as opposed to using the dot syntax) has some
special implications, the most important being type checking, both at
compile-time and at run-time.
If you have something like,
package
{
public class Whale
{
public var lung:Lung;
}
}
the compiler will rightfully choke if you tried to do something like
var humpback:Whale = new Whale();
humpback.lung = new Gill();
But it wouldn't be able to notice if you did it like this:
humpback[lung] = new Gill();
or
humpback[leg] = new HairyLeg();
There, you'd get your type coercion and property errors only until runtime.
It does have its rightful uses, of course, and you might want to check about
dynamic classes, etc. but you should be mindful about them.
