[flexcoders] How can an SWF read its own metadata tags?
How to read SWF metadata tags (like title, publisher etc) at runtime from within that SWF? I use ANT to build the SWF. I manually define metadata like project name etc in a build.properties file. I use these values in ANT to name the SWF and installer etc and also I can use them to set the metadata tags of the SWF I'm compiling to. But when this SWF is running, how can that metadata be accessed? Or is it better to embed the build.properties in the SWF? I need this for an About dialog box. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-can-an-SWF-read-its-own-metadata-tags--tp21760968p21760968.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Re: [flexcoders] Conditional compilation for variable declarations
abstract factory would also solve this, unless you compile to swc that is.

If, for example, I have a single SQL class variable in a class that's otherwise portable between Flex and AIR, do I need to create separate classes for the two frameworks, or is there a convenient way to conditionally declare the SQL variable?

[flexcoders] Piechart slice color changes on rollover/select ?? How do change this?
In picharts when selectionmode=single is set the color of the rolled over pie wedge changes to a darker version of the same color. This new color stays darker when I explode the slice. What controls the effect of the colors changing on rollover and itemclick on this pie chart? Is there a way to turn this effect off and only show the true/defined color of the pie slice? Here is a simple example of a piechart with this issue. http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/11/06/exploding-wedges-in-a-flex-piechart-control/ Any help would be appreciated Thanks!!

RE: [flexcoders] Oh WTF? Web Services: Anyone work with Blue Disaster (I mean Dragon)?
Yeah that is not pretty xml. Since your data is not really a list, but
more properties of an object, here is what I would do:
var oLoginInfo:Object = new Object();
var xmlResult = XML(event.result)
var xlNames:XMLList = xmlResult..columnList.string;
var xlValues:XMLList = xmlResult..ArrayOfAnyType.anyType;
for (var i:int=0;ixlNames.length();i++) {
oLoginInfo[xlColumns[i]] = xlValues[i];
}
To see a value do:
trace(oLoginInfo.lastName); //will trace 'Kolcz'
But also, don't forget to compare the result from both servers, to see
if you get the same result.

This is what get from E4X. I have no idea on how to this to an easier
format to use like what I get from an ArrayCollection with a
RemoteObject.
Do I use XMLListCollection? Any hint on how? If I declare my userData
variable as public var userData:XMLListCollection = new
XMLListCollection(); What do I set it to?
Thanks!

I have 2 mirrored environments. One on my laptop running Adobe CF8 and
one at the University running Blue Dragon 7. I have the same CFCs set
to remote, the same database stucture, and the same mx:WebService on
both. I am just switching the wsdl location between the 2 and I am
getting COMPLETELY diffferent responses. The only difference is the
actual Servers.
When I return a query via web service with Adobe and render it out with
Alert.show(ObjectUtil.toString(e.result),'Result');, I get this:

I tried this (slight modification) and it came up

the same? Did I miss something?
public function loginHandler(e:ResultEvent):void {
var oLoginInfo:Object

Web Services: Anyone work with Blue Disaster (I mean Dragon)? Yeah that is not
pretty xml. Since your data is not really a
list, but more properties of an object, here is what I would do: var
oLoginInfo:Object = new Object(); var xmlResult = XML(event.result) var
xlNames:XMLList = xmlResult..columnList.string; var xlValues:XMLList =
xmlResult..ArrayOfAnyType.anyType; for (var i:int=0;ixlNames.length();i++) {
oLoginInfo[xlColumns[i]] = xlValues[i]; } To see a value do:
trace(oLoginInfo.lastName); //will trace ' Kolcz'But also, don't forget to
compare the result from both servers, to
see if you get the same result.

[flexcoders] DragManager Zoom
Is there a way to disable the zoom when you drop something using the drag manager?
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Silent Print from Flex on Kiosk
Well, that was really old way to do it in IE5. You can use more reliable way
with our HTMLPrinting.com control we released for IE about 8 years ago (
yep, still works ) - at least you will get templates and control of what and
how you will print - suppression of the dialog is 20% of the task, real
control of the paper size/orientation, margins, trays, duplex, etc are
really necessary - not to mention printer queue management.

Nate is right, if you have JS code that works, call out to that, or
use some other means of interacting with the printer (we have a client

The UIComponent passed in is an Image.
It prints the image, but it prompts me with the print diologe box.

[flexcoders] using an event to trigger an action in a sibling component
I have the following structure:
Application
|___ViewStack
|SplashBox
|VBox
|___Accordion
|Login
|CreateAccount
|MainBox
In MainBox I dispatch a logoutEvent. Among other things as a result
of this event, I want to clear the fields in the Login component. The
only way I have been successful so far is to call an init() function
from creationComplete in Login that looks like this:
private function init():void{
parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.addEventListener(logoutEvent,
clearFields)
}
As I understand events, the logoutEvent in MainBox bubbles up to the
ViewStack, and then to the Application. Is there a better way to
force the event down to Login? Repeatedly using parent in this
fashion seems so inelegant. And if I change my structure at all, I'll
also have to remember to go into the code and change the number of
parents in the init() function.
TIA!

[flexcoders] Re: using an event to trigger an action in a sibling component
But I still have a problem calling a public method in Login from
MainBox. Because MainBox is in a different branch of the tree, it
can't see Login without some convoluted getChildAt().getChildAt(),
and so on.
Just to clarify, my diagram didn't come through. Application has a
ViewStack, which has SplashBox and MainBox. SplashBox has a VBox
which has an Accordion, which has LoginBox and CreateAccountBox.
This code worked in the Application:
var vbox:UIComponent = splashBox.getChildAt(0) as UIComponent;
var accord:UIComponent = vbox.getChildAt(3) as UIComponent;
var loginBox = accord.getChildAt(0);
loginBox.clearFields(e);
But again, it seems inelegant, and not very robust if I have to
change the structure later.
Thanks,
LG

Singletons Data Models. An interaction in Mainbox sets a property in the model
that other views like LoginBox are listening to.
You'll also be happier the day you try to wire up the BrowserManager to handle
backbutton and deep linking if you have a central data model.
