RE: [flexcoders] Re: Silent Print from Flex on Kiosk
I agree, more than anything Adobe could do, being over zealous on the security front could inhibit Flash as a platform taking off (yes I'm still annoyed about not getting to load remote modules in AIR). It wasn't exactly a winner for Vista! If they can work out a comfortable security model that... 1. Stops drive by swfs owning your machine and, 2. allows trusted applications to do more with less security, they will be onto a winner. The Flash Player is maturing into number 1 nicely, but AIR has still a ways to go to meet number 2. Gk.

[flexcoders] Re: Generated html page backgroundcolour
Does that property actually change the background color in the
wrapper,
or does the Flex app just cover the entire browser? I do not know
offhand.
Sorry for the late response (the weekend had begun)
Yes it does. If you look at the source for the generated wrapper it
shows
bgcolor, #ff,
One reason why I was struggling (which lead to my posted
question)
My Application.backgroundColor was defined in an external stylesheet
(with all my other styles). But this does not get picked up.
It only seems to work when you define it in the mxml tag.

In a recent thread, someone noted that the browser background
stayed the

suggested adding an entry to the Additional Compiler Options in
the
Flex Builder Properties, to actually compile the background color

However, when you use a simple AMF channel, where we don't know your session (connection) has timed out until a remoting call is made but fails due to an auth constraint check, we didn't originally handle that scenario seamlessly. Now we do, when you turn on the config flag I mentioned below, and it applies to remoting calls, producer messages sends, DMS operations, etc. (basically, any outbound message that fails in processing due to an auth fault when you were previously successfully authenticated). In order for this to work though, you'd need to be logging in from within the Flex app so that it has access to your creds. We provide server-side LoginCommand impls for supported app servers that plug into their various custom authentication layers and that's what Flex login requests are processed by, but we don't ship an official AcegiLoginCommand currently.

That means those e4x expressions are not

step at a time, tracing at each step to be sure you have the ccorrect data.

We are still dealing with this problem on a daily basis on my current project, and there still doesn't seem to be a good answer, at least as far as BlazeDS goes. The way that web frameworks deal with the issue is lazy loading, so that the data access to load the child objects doesn't happen until you actually access those objects, but because we're serializing the objects when we send them acrossed the wire in BlazeDS, the entire object graph gets realized, leading to some HUGE amounts of data possible, depending on how complex your data is. Now supposedly they have fixed this, meaning enabled lazy loading, in GraniteDS, and many are hoping for a similar solution coming out of the Spring/BlazeDS integration project. I say supposedly because I haven't personally tested it, we're 7 months into an 8 month project, not a good time to be thinking about changing out such a major part of our project! Good luck! Mike --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, max.bruchmann So now everytime we send a person object back to the blazeds/hibernate backend all the groups he belongs to are getting serialized as well.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex/BlazeDS/Hibernate - serialization question
I had the same problem and solved it by using a superclass that contains
only the subset of data the client really needs...
For example:
PersonRPC
{
id
name
}
Person extends PersonRPC
{
lots of other data the flex client really do not need, but is usefull in
the backend...
}
if you do not like this you could drop the inheritance and do something
like:
PersonRPC
{
id
name
PersonRPC(Person p)
{
this.id = p.id ;
this.name = p.name
}
}
and then serialize / return PersonRPC to the client...

If you have nested dynamic ovjects, you can examine them with a

Subject: [flexcoders] Bug in ADG?, possible to bind labelFunction to
editor with no dataField?
Hi,
Does anyone have any idea how to edit data that does not come from
fixed object properties i.e. myObject.Name but myObject.Attributes[2]
which might be name?
I have a 2D array, array of rows and array of cells for each row, both
are arbitrary. I have this successfully displayed my data in
AdvancedDataGrid via labelFunction.
public function getContentLabel(item:GridRow,
column:CustomLabelColumn) : String
{
if(item != null)
{
return item.Cells.getGridLabelCellAt(column.columnIndex).Label;
}
else
{
return null;
}
}
How do I edit the data in these columns?
I looked at

and tried messing around with itemEditBegin and itemEditEnd. I have
itemEditBegin working successfully where I am able to display my label
in a text box. The itemEditEnd for ADG seems to crash because I'm
using typed objects instead of plan strings or XML.
In fact I'm convinced there is a bug in the itemEnd base handler. I
tried calling preventDefault from the grids itemEnd function but no
luck, I am forced to overwrite the event.reason so that the base class
doesnt destroy my itemEditor.
My issue is here:
In AdvancedDataGridBaseEx.as
private function
itemEditorItemEditEndHandler(event:AdvancedDataGridEvent):void
...
var newData:Object =
itemEditorInstance[_columns[event.columnIndex].editorDataField];
var property:String = _columns[event.columnIndex].dataField;
var data:Object = event.itemRenderer.data;
var typeInfo:String = ;
//WHY is this only XML??? my data variable has plan String text and
yet I never make it into the typeInfo == String part since typeInfo is
because the XML loop never executes on an object;
for each(var variable:XML in describeType(data).variable)
{
if (property == variab...@...
mailto:variable.%40name.toString ())
{
typeInfo = variab...@... mailto:variable.%40type.toString
();
break;
}
}
if (typeInfo == String)
{
//NEVER make it here
if (!(newData is String))
newData = newData.toString();
}
//..
//CRASH HERE since property is null.
// data = Some Text;
if (data[property] != newData)
{
bChanged = true;
data[property] = newData;
}
The code I described is in Flex DMV code, AdvancedDataGridBaseEx.as
itemEndHandler. This is a private method and contains some private
class variables so I'm not able to modify it's implementation. At
first I tried to event.preventDefault() in my local handler but this
implementation seems to do important stuff, I dont feel comfortable
skipping this code but maybe I should. In addition, this method seems

How do i make sure styles don't get inherited either up or down? 2) datatips of graphs are placed in the wrong coordinates.

--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, flexcoder2008 djohnso...@... wrote:
I am having trouble getting a datagrid that is bound to an

mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
mx:Canvas
mx:Image source={data.MyImage} /
/mx:Canvas
/mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer
This datagrid's dataProvider is set to bind to an XMLListCollection
variable which contains XML with one of the nodes being MyImage
This datagrid is a part of a module that gets loaded into a
TabNavigator control. When the module initializes I loop through each
row in the datagrid and check the values of the XML, and depending on
certain values, I update the content of the MyImage node, which in
turn will change the image source property.
When the module first loads, everything works fine and the grid
displays correctly.
The problem happens when I load a different module into the
tabNavigator. In a seperate module I do an update to this same
XMLListCollection. (I am using the Cairngorm framework and all my
shared data is stored in the model. ) When I reload the first module,
and the initialization logic fires, as I am looping through to do the
calculations to update the MyImage node I can see that everything is
updating in the XMLListCollection correctly.
However, when the dataGrid displays, the row that corresponds to the
updated XML in the XMLListCollection is displaying a blank row, even
though the underlying values are correct.
I believe this is a problem with the ItemRenderer not updating itself.
How do I force it to invalidate? I have tried doing a
dataGrid.dataProvider.refresh() and calling invalidateDisplayList()
etc. but cannot figure this one out.
One workaround I discovered is that when I reload the first module
after updating the underlying XMLListCollection, if I append a new
empty node to the XML like so: myXML.* += empty /Then the
updated row displays correctly!
Has anybody else out there ran into this problem?

RE: [flexcoders] Tree Control Drag and Drop Help
When a drag drop operation occurs on a tree, the drag drop handlers call the public calculateDropIndex() function. This function stores all the properties that you want in an mx_internal variable called _dropData of Object data type. So, make sure that your class import and use the mx_internal namespace and attach a listener to the tree's dragDrop event. In the event handler, look up the _dropData variable and specifically the parent and index properties. If this drop operation should not be allowed, call the preventDefault() method on the event.

[flexcoders] Re: sizing dinamically the screen
Gustavo:
Sorry, but I don't think the approach you are taking is necessarily
advisable, or even technically correct (in one regard). Specifically:
1) screen.width (and screen.height, and screen.availableWidth, etc.)
allow JavaScript (DOM) code to discover the size of the user's monitor
(screen hardware), not of the browser window in which your Flex
application is running. (The available* properties then subtract from
that size any operating system 'reserved' screen real estate, such as
the Windows task bar.)
2) I would be very surprised if JavaScript code could alter the value
of any of these properties--by definition they could not be under the
control of a browser window, so they should be read-only. Therefore,
code like
screen.width = 1024;
should not be expected to work.
Even if that code _does_ happen to work with one Browser or Operating
System, I wouldn't rely on it!
3) A reasonably reliable way to ensure that your application is
running in a browser window of the size that you want, is to use the
JavaScript/browser DOM Window.open() method to open a new window,
which gives you the opportunity to specify the size of browser window
that you want your application to have. Be sure to note that you are
specifying the overall (e.g., outer) size of the window; you are NOT
specifying how much (client) area that your application will get. ***
Different brands (and versions) of browsers will use different amounts
of space for their own 'chrome' (UI elements such as the URL/address
bar, etc.). I don't know of any way other than cross-browser testing
to discover the exact values, and they may change when a new version
of a browser is released!
4) If you don't want to open a new browser window, then you can use
the Window.resizeTo() DOM call in order to modify the size of the
current window.
For both 3) and 4), security policy in modern browsers may affect: the
success of opening a new window (i.e., pop-up blockers), and to place
limits on net window size.
5) You can call the JavaScript/DOM code from your Flex application
using the Flash ExternalInterface API. For more information, see (for
example):
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=passingarguments_4.html
6) For more information about the Window.resizeTo() browser DOM API,
see (for example):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536723(VS.85).aspx
7) My _recommendation_ is that you consider abandoning the notion of a
fixed-size application window. Flex containers support liquid layout
very nicely and it is not much (extra) work to let your application
work that way. In other words, if/when the user resizes their browser
window, have your application adjust its layout accordingly. If you do
that, I think that it is also reasonable to specify a (window) size
below which your application won't be able to re-size itself to (and,
thus, scroll bars may appear).
Good luck!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Datagrid bound to XMLListCollection not updating properly - ItemRenderer issue?
Usually this means you are not using the Collection API to update the
dataProvider, but are directly assigning a value to an item property.
Using the API to update the dataProvider will ensure the necessary
events are dispatched to ensure your visible UI gets updated.
Another alternative is to call Collection.itemUpdated(item) after each
update.

I am having trouble getting a datagrid that is bound to an

mx:itemRenderer

mx:Image source={data.MyImage} /
/mx:Canvas
/mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer
This datagrid's dataProvider is set to bind to an XMLListCollection
variable which contains XML with one of the nodes being MyImage
This datagrid is a part of a module that gets loaded into a
TabNavigator control. When the module initializes I loop through each
row in the datagrid and check the values of the XML, and depending on
certain values, I update the content of the MyImage node, which in
turn will change the image source property.
When the module first loads, everything works fine and the grid
displays correctly.
The problem happens when I load a different module into the
tabNavigator. In a seperate module I do an update to this same
XMLListCollection. (I am using the Cairngorm framework and all my
shared data is stored in the model. ) When I reload the first module,
and the initialization logic fires, as I am looping through to do the
calculations to update the MyImage node I can see that everything is
updating in the XMLListCollection correctly.
However, when the dataGrid displays, the row that corresponds to the
updated XML in the XMLListCollection is displaying a blank row, even
though the underlying values are correct.
I believe this is a problem with the ItemRenderer not updating itself.
How do I force it to invalidate? I have tried doing a
dataGrid.dataProvider.refresh() and calling invalidateDisplayList()
etc. but cannot figure this one out.
One workaround I discovered is that when I reload the first module
after updating the underlying XMLListCollection, if I append a new
empty node to the XML like so: myXML.* += empty / Then the
updated row displays correctly!
Has anybody else out there ran into this problem?

Re: [flexcoders] SWFLoader problems (Loading flex swf into flex application)
Depending on how you load your external swf, specifying a child ApplicationDomain might solve your problem. You should probably base it off the top level domain, but if that also doesn't work you can create a new one. // Create child var appDomain : ApplicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain); // Create new var appDomain : ApplicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain(null); You specify the application domain in the LoaderContext that you supply to the loader.

[flexcoders] Need Details Creating Custom UIComponents with AS3
Can someone send me some links to information on all the ins and outs of creating good visual custom Flex UIComponents with Actionscript (NOT MXML)? (i.e. a class that extends UIComponent) I've actually done it before, but had some bugs and headaches because I didn't fully understand all the intricacies of method overriding you have to/should do - things like measure(), clone(), updateDisplayList (), etc. - so that it looks/works right and the UIComponent stays within its container (for example, you create a UIComponent that draws a large circle, but you want the circle to remain within the bounds of a scrollpane component it is a child of). I've googled all over the place, including adobe devnet and the Flexcoders archives and have come up short. Seems to be bits and pieces - I'm looking for some kind of explanation or simple example of writing a visual component I understand the AS3 drawing API and databinding, I just want info on the rest of best practices for extending UIComponent. Seems like I had seen a tutorial on this before on devnet, but I can't locate it now (the search on that thing is terrible!) - also others have made some good posts on that here as well, but can't find those either. Thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: resize the popup window according to browser
Hi
I have couple of modules in my application and each module will
different popups. So i have to change the code in all the modules for
storing the instance and passing to main application which i do not
want to do.
And as all my popus are modal so
systemManager.popUpChildren.numChildren should solve my problem.
Thanks

P.d: the aplication for mac computer has a window.open() but problem
is the windows browsers, so instead of that
I've been trying to apporach the windows, not much of success right now.
On Feb 2, 2009, at 1:13 PM, jim.abbott45 wrote:
Gustavo:
Sorry, but I don't think the approach you are taking is necessarily
advisable, or even technically correct (in one regard). Specifically:
1) screen.width (and screen.height, and screen.availableWidth, etc.)
allow JavaScript (DOM) code to discover the size of the user's monitor
(screen hardware), not of the browser window in which your Flex
application is running. (The available* properties then subtract from
that size any operating system 'reserved' screen real estate, such as
the Windows task bar.)
2) I would be very surprised if JavaScript code could alter the value
of any of these properties--by definition they could not be under the
control of a browser window, so they should be read-only. Therefore,
code like
screen.width = 1024;
should not be expected to work.
Even if that code _does_ happen to work with one Browser or Operating
System, I wouldn't rely on it!
3) A reasonably reliable way to ensure that your application is
running in a browser window of the size that you want, is to use the
JavaScript/browser DOM Window.open() method to open a new window,
which gives you the opportunity to specify the size of browser window
that you want your application to have. Be sure to note that you are
specifying the overall (e.g., outer) size of the window; you are NOT
specifying how much (client) area that your application will get. ***
Different brands (and versions) of browsers will use different amounts
of space for their own 'chrome' (UI elements such as the URL/address
bar, etc.). I don't know of any way other than cross-browser testing
to discover the exact values, and they may change when a new version
of a browser is released!
4) If you don't want to open a new browser window, then you can use
the Window.resizeTo() DOM call in order to modify the size of the
current window.
For both 3) and 4), security policy in modern browsers may affect: the
success of opening a new window (i.e., pop-up blockers), and to place
limits on net window size.
5) You can call the JavaScript/DOM code from your Flex application
using the Flash ExternalInterface API. For more information, see (for
example):
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?
content=passingarguments_4.html
6) For more information about the Window.resizeTo() browser DOM API,
see (for example):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536723(VS.85).aspx
7) My _recommendation_ is that you consider abandoning the notion of a
fixed-size application window. Flex containers support liquid layout
very nicely and it is not much (extra) work to let your application
work that way. In other words, if/when the user resizes their browser
window, have your application adjust its layout accordingly. If you do
that, I think that it is also reasonable to specify a (window) size
below which your application won't be able to re-size itself to (and,
thus, scroll bars may appear).
Good luck!

[flexcoders] Re: Bug in ADG?, possible to bind labelFunction to editor with no dataField?
--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, tntomek tnto...@... wrote:
Hi,
Does anyone have any idea how to edit data that does not come from
fixed object properties i.e. myObject.Name but myObject.Attributes[2]
which might be name?
I have a 2D array, array of rows and array of cells for each row, both
are arbitrary. I have this successfully displayed my data in
AdvancedDataGrid via labelFunction.
public function getContentLabel(item:GridRow,
column:CustomLabelColumn) : String
{
if(item != null)
{
return item.Cells.getGridLabelCellAt(column.columnIndex).Label;
}
else
{
return null;
}
}
How do I edit the data in these columns?
I looked at
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flex/3/html/help.html?content=celleditor_8.html#197235
and tried messing around with itemEditBegin and itemEditEnd. I have
itemEditBegin working successfully where I am able to display my label
in a text box. The itemEditEnd for ADG seems to crash because I'm
using typed objects instead of plan strings or XML.
In fact I'm convinced there is a bug in the itemEnd base handler. I
tried calling preventDefault from the grids itemEnd function but no
luck, I am forced to overwrite the event.reason so that the base class
doesnt destroy my itemEditor.
My issue is here:
In AdvancedDataGridBaseEx.as
private function
itemEditorItemEditEndHandler(event:AdvancedDataGridEvent):void
...
var newData:Object =
itemEditorInstance[_columns[event.columnIndex].editorDataField];
var property:String = _columns[event.columnIndex].dataField;
var data:Object = event.itemRenderer.data;
var typeInfo:String = ;
//WHY is this only XML??? my data variable has plan String text and
yet I never make it into the typeInfo == String part since typeInfo is
because the XML loop never executes on an object;
for each(var variable:XML in describeType(data).variable)
{
if (property == variab...@...())
{
typeInfo = variab...@...();
break;
}
}
if (typeInfo == String)
{
//NEVER make it here
if (!(newData is String))
newData = newData.toString();
}
//..
//CRASH HERE since property is null.
// data = Some Text;
if (data[property] != newData)
{
bChanged = true;
data[property] = newData;
}
To add,
the following line expects a dataField to be provided (I have not)
var property:String = _columns[event.columnIndex].dataField;
but the code should not get there if its just a string.

Hi gang,
I've been toying with the outstanding flexmdi component from
flexlib
and have found something challenging...
One of the pieces of the MDIWindow is the minimize() function.
I'm
creating the windows on the canvas dynamically based on the users last
know settings...including whether they have minimized any of the
windows
on their dashboard. I have a variable in their record for each window
called isCollapsed (bit/bool). What I'm trying to do is when the
records are read and the windows are dynamically created, I check to
see
if the isCollapsed == true and if so, I'm trying to fire the
MDIWindow.minimize() function. However, it's expecting a mouseEvent
and
I'm not sure how to force a non-existent event into the function???
Basically, I need to programmatically emulate a mouseclick on the
minimize button of the window.
I've tried a number of alternative methods without success,
including these:
newWindow.minimize();
newWindow.minimize(null);
newWindow.dispatchEvent(MDIWindowEvent.MINIMIZE);
dispatchEvent(new
MDIWindowEvent(MDIWindowEvent.MINIMIZE, newWindow));
Here is the minimize function:
public function minimize(event:MouseEvent = null):void
{
// if the panel is floating, save its state
if(windowState == MDIWindowState.NORMAL)
{
savePanel();
}
dispatchEvent(new MDIWindowEvent(MDIWindowEvent.MINIMIZE,
this));
windowState = MDIWindowState.MINIMIZED;
showControls = false;
}
Has anyone tried to do this or have any ideas on what to try next?
Thanks,
Adrian

[flexcoders] DataGrid mouseover
I have a data grid, and one of the columns I used ItemRenderer to have a vbox and an image inside as a button. Everything looks good except the entire column where that ItemRenderer is used does not invoke the same mouseover events as the other columns. The mouseover event I was looking for is highlighting the row on mouseover and selection (with a darker hue). How do I get the column to do mouseover again for the whole row? Thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] Need to render rows in a heterogeneous mx:List differently based on each row's item data Type
Does anyone have a code sample of how I can supply a different itemRenderer to a List based on the data Type of the item in any given row? I have a heterogeneous collection of Types in an ArrayCollection (Property Sheet or User Preferences list) and want to render each row differently based on the data Type of the row item. For those of you familiar with MS WPF, it includes the notion of something called a DataTemplate which is essentially an Item Renderer that is used by the framework to render a particular data Type in a heterogeneous collection or on a form. I'd like to do the same thing in Flex within a List. Is there such a notion in Flex? Can it be done simply? I've tried implementing a Factory pattern where I supply a single itemRenderer (VBox) class to the List component which is an ActionScript class that simply overrides the data setter, and tests the Type of the data property (the row item type) and if it's a certain Type it instantiates or replaces a child container that properly renders the data based on its Type. This is not a simple pattern to follow or communicate. I'd like to find a simpler way. I've also tried using a single renderer with multiple top level components that use data binding to dynamically set includeInLayout and visible so only one of the top level components will render. This works, but the performance on a large list is abysmal in our ad hoc tests. Simple renderers not using includeInLayout were much faster. I've also tried using States to determine which part of the mxml to render based on the Type, but the pattern is just too complicated and too verbose. I'm in search of the cleanest possible pattern to recreate what you get out of the box with WPF, as I am sure someone at Adobe thought of this (it's an amazingly common use case), but it's just a matter of my learning how to do this.

Yves, THANK YOU , THANK YOU , THANK YOU... life is good. Worked like
a champ. I had never done the mx_internal piece, great pointer thank
you very much.
Here is a sample of the function I created, David I hope this helps:
private function dropData( event:DragEvent ) : void
{
var parent:String =
event.dragInitiator.mx_internal::_dropData.parent.label;
var childParent:String = item.parentComp;
if(parent == BOXC){
trace(moved through the match);
}else{
event.preventDefault();
trace(moved out of the match);
}
}
Put this in your import statement area:
import mx.core.mx_internal;
use namespace mx_internal;
Thanks again Yves!

When a drag drop operation occurs on a tree, the drag drop handlers
call the public calculateDropIndex() function. This function stores all
the properties that you want in an mx_internal variable called _dropData
of Object data type.
So, make sure that your class import and use the mx_internal namespace
and attach a listener to the tree's dragDrop event. In the event
handler, look up the _dropData variable and specifically the parent
and index properties. If this drop operation should not be allowed,
call the preventDefault() method on the event.
That should do the trick.

[flexcoders] Subclassing nested (private ns) classes at runtime
A question for the AVM2 engineers here. I am the author of asmock http://asmock.sourceforge.net/ , a dynamic object mocking framework, and am looking at a few features to add before 1.0. One of the biggest features I'd like to support is the ability to mock a nested (private namespace) class. I know that subclassing a nested class outside the code file is illegal, but I have assumed that the AVM will let me do it as long as I setup the DoABC tag correctly. I am currently generating the child class only, assuming the the parent class multiname will be resolved in the application domain hierarchy. This technique works with all other classes I generate. The child class I am generating is declared with a private ns multiname (0x05) and with the protected namespace flag as part of it's instance data. Everything appears fine when compared to a Flexbuilder Compiled SWF. However, during loadBytes, I get a ValidateError: Class MockRepositoryNestedClassIntegrationFixture.as$452::NestedClass could not be found. Is there anything I might have missed? Or, alternatively, is there an explicit AVM restriction that nested classes can only be subclassed within the SWF they were loaded from? Many thanks, Richard

You could make a PersonRPC class that contains only the fields you want to

You could also make PersonRPC the parent class of your Person class.

I there is one thing that troubles me.
So let's asume I have a Person class

public var id;
}
It's no problem to send objects from this class between client and server.
But let's assume the Person class has furthermore a list of groups he
belongs to.
public class Person {
public var name:String
public var id;
public var groups:ArrayCollection;
}
public class Group {
public var name:String;
public var id;
}
So now everytime we send a person object back to the blazeds/hibernate
backend all the groups he belongs to are getting serialized as well.
This means a lot of overhead gets send to backend when I only modify
some primitve data like the name.
Even more problematic would be if in addition the group objects
themselves would have list of persons that belongs to them.
I guess I could use the [Transient] Metatag to not send the collection
fields, but then I could not modify the groups in a person object easily.
So if there is any best practice for these kind of problems, please
let me know.
Thanks in advance

RE: [flexcoders] Encrypted html
Certainly going to be an issue with standard HTML renderers unless you can override them and insert your own behavior to an anchor. I expect that webkit, when presented with a file://filepath file:///\\filepath , will go load that file regardless of any click-handlers running in Air. An approach would have every click, call a Javascript handler and pass in the target of that click which loads your decrypter and returning the resulting page as the calling page source. Of course, that assumes that you have control of the page content, although I assume you could load and parse the DOM regardless. I expect a JS approach might imply security issues over a dedicated web server. I've used AppWeb before to build custom http based services but that always ends up being an effort of significant complexity.

To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com
Hi gang,
I've been toying with the outstanding flexmdi component from flexlib
and have found something challenging...
One of the pieces of the MDIWindow is the minimize() function. I'm
creating the windows on the canvas dynamically based on the users last
know settings...including whether they have minimized any of the windows
on their dashboard. I have a variable in their record for each window
called isCollapsed (bit/bool). What I'm trying to do is when the
records are read and the windows are dynamically created, I check to see
if the isCollapsed == true and if so, I'm trying to fire the
MDIWindow.minimize() function. However, it's expecting a mouseEvent and
I'm not sure how to force a non-existent event into the function???
Basically, I need to programmatically emulate a mouseclick on the
minimize button of the window.
I've tried a number of alternative methods without success,
including these:
newWindow.minimize();
newWindow.minimize(null);
newWindow.dispatchEvent(MDIWindowEvent.MINIMIZE);
dispatchEvent(new
MDIWindowEvent(MDIWindowEvent.MINIMIZE, newWindow));
Here is the minimize function:
public function minimize(event:MouseEvent = null):void
{
// if the panel is floating, save its state
if(windowState == MDIWindowState.NORMAL)
{
savePanel();
}
dispatchEvent(new MDIWindowEvent(MDIWindowEvent.MINIMIZE,
this));
windowState = MDIWindowState.MINIMIZED;
showControls = false;
}
Has anyone tried to do this or have any ideas on what to try next?
Thanks,
Adrian

Specifically: 1) screen.width (and screen.height, and screen.availableWidth, etc.) allow JavaScript (DOM) code to discover the size of the user's monitor (screen hardware), not of the browser window in which your Flex application is running. (The available* properties then subtract from that size any operating system 'reserved' screen real estate, such as the Windows task bar.) 2) I would be very surprised if JavaScript code could alter the value of any of these properties--by definition they could not be under the control of a browser window, so they should be read-only. Therefore, code like screen.width = 1024; should not be expected to work. Even if that code _does_ happen to work with one Browser or Operating System, I wouldn't rely on it! 3) A reasonably reliable way to ensure that your application is running in a browser window of the size that you want, is to use the JavaScript/browser DOM Window.open() method to open a new window, which gives you the opportunity to specify the size of browser window that you want your application to have. Be sure to note that you are specifying the overall (e.g., outer) size of the window; you are NOT specifying how much (client) area that your application will get. *** Different brands (and versions) of browsers will use different amounts of space for their own 'chrome' (UI elements such as the URL/address bar, etc.). I don't know of any way other than cross-browser testing to discover the exact values, and they may change when a new version of a browser is released! 4) If you don't want to open a new browser window, then you can use the Window.resizeTo() DOM call in order to modify the size of the current window. For both 3) and 4), security policy in modern browsers may affect: the success of opening a new window (i.e., pop-up blockers), and to place limits on net window size. 5) You can call the JavaScript/DOM code from your Flex application using the Flash ExternalInterface API. For more information, see (for example): http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html? content=passingarguments_4.html 6) For more information about the Window.resizeTo() browser DOM API, see (for example): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536723(VS.85).aspx 7) My _recommendation_ is that you consider abandoning the notion of a fixed-size application window. Flex containers support liquid layout very nicely and it is not much (extra) work to let your application work that way. In other words, if/when the user resizes their browser window, have your application adjust its layout accordingly. If you do that, I think that it is also reasonable to specify a (window) size below which your application won't be able to re-size itself to (and, thus, scroll bars may appear).

Subject: [flexcoders] Bug in ADG?, possible to bind labelFunction to

Hi,
Does anyone have any idea how to edit data that does not come from
fixed object properties i.e. myObject.Name but myObject.Attributes[2]
which might be name?
I have a 2D array, array of rows and array of cells for each row, both
are arbitrary. I have this successfully displayed my data in
AdvancedDataGrid via labelFunction.
public function getContentLabel(item:GridRow,
column:CustomLabelColumn) : String
{
if(item != null)
{
return item.Cells.getGridLabelCellAt(column.columnIndex).Label;
}
else
{
return null;
}
}
How do I edit the data in these columns?
I looked at
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flex/3/html/help.html?content=celleditor_8
.html#197235
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flex/3/html/help.html?content=celleditor_
8.html#197235
and tried messing around with itemEditBegin and itemEditEnd. I have
itemEditBegin working successfully where I am able to display my label
in a text box. The itemEditEnd for ADG seems to crash because I'm
using typed objects instead of plan strings or XML.
In fact I'm convinced there is a bug in the itemEnd base handler. I
tried calling preventDefault from the grids itemEnd function but no
luck, I am forced to overwrite the event.reason so that the base class
doesnt destroy my itemEditor.
My issue is here:
In AdvancedDataGridBaseEx.as
private function
itemEditorItemEditEndHandler(event:AdvancedDataGridEvent):void
...
var newData:Object =
itemEditorInstance[_columns[event.columnIndex].editorDataField];
var property:String = _columns[event.columnIndex].dataField;
var data:Object = event.itemRenderer.data;
var typeInfo:String = ;
//WHY is this only XML??? my data variable has plan String text and
yet I never make it into the typeInfo == String part since typeInfo is
because the XML loop never executes on an object;
for each(var variable:XML in describeType(data).variable)
{
if (property == variab...@...
mailto:variable.%40name.toString ())
{
typeInfo = variab...@... mailto:variable.%40type.toString
();
break;
}
}
if (typeInfo == String)
{
//NEVER make it here
if (!(newData is String))
newData = newData.toString();
}
//..
//CRASH HERE since property is null.
// data = Some Text;
if (data[property] != newData)
{
bChanged = true;
data[property] = newData;
}
The code I described is in Flex DMV code, AdvancedDataGridBaseEx.as
itemEndHandler. This is a private method and contains some private
class variables so I'm not able to modify it's implementation. At
first I tried to event.preventDefault() in my local handler but this
implementation seems to do important stuff, I dont feel comfortable
skipping this code but maybe I should. In addition, this method seems
to make use of event.reason in addition to preventDefault.
The array is not simple in that its a typed ArrayCollection of rows
which each row having a typed ArrayCollecton of cells. So to get at an
instance of a cell I go:
var cell:MyTypedCell =
typedArrayCollectionRows.getMyTypedRowAt(0).Cells.getMyTypedCellAt(0)
I was able to handle the itemBegin handler and put a cell.Label value
and in TextInput.text. This is where I also manualy populate the
event.itemRenderer.data = some text (the itemEnd handler expects thi
to be XML it seems). So I can successfully display the editing portion
of ADG. Where I get into trouble is the default handler for itemEnd.
I'm not sure what to do in regards to cleanup and preventing the
default from firing. Note that I'm only using the default ADG item
renderer for now so I'd like to stick with default implementation as
much as possible.
I will try to upload a complete simplified project if you would be so
kind as to take a look at this issue and maybe a better best practice.

[flexcoders] Re: sizing dinamically the screen
Gustavo:
Sorry, but I don't think you're coding this correctly. Specifically:
1) I don't see your browser size detection code in the HTML wrapper
file at all. E.g., it is missing:
script type=javascript
var browserHeight= screen.availHeight;
var browserWidth = screen.availWidth;
/script
2) In any case, I'm not 100% clear as to what you are trying to
accomplish via the external interface. However, to get the available
screen width the following code will *probably* work (I haven't tried
it or tested it):
In ActionScript (note the quotation marks):
var width:Number = ExternalInterface.call(getAvailWidth);
assuming you have a JS function (in the HTML wrapper file) like this:
function getAvailWidth()
{
return screen.availWidth;
}
Then write similar code for the height, etc.
3) BTW, as a general rule, I've found it most productive to debug JS
code first (in isolation), _before_ attempting to call it from Flex.
4) Please look at the Adobe documentation for the ExternalInterface
API and the HTMLWrapper file again. I think--for now--you've reached
the limit as to what can reasonably be addressed via postings on
FlexCoders.
Good luck,

Sorry, but I don't think the approach you are taking is necessarily
advisable, or even technically correct (in one regard). Specifically:
1) screen.width (and screen.height, and screen.availableWidth, etc.)
allow JavaScript (DOM) code to discover the size of the user's
monitor
(screen hardware), not of the browser window in which your Flex
application is running. (The available* properties then subtract from
that size any operating system 'reserved' screen real estate, such as
the Windows task bar.)
2) I would be very surprised if JavaScript code could alter the value
of any of these properties--by definition they could not be under the
control of a browser window, so they should be read-only. Therefore,
code like
screen.width = 1024;
should not be expected to work.
Even if that code _does_ happen to work with one Browser or Operating
System, I wouldn't rely on it!
3) A reasonably reliable way to ensure that your application is
running in a browser window of the size that you want, is to use the
JavaScript/browser DOM Window.open() method to open a new window,
which gives you the opportunity to specify the size of browser window
that you want your application to have. Be sure to note that you are
specifying the overall (e.g., outer) size of the window; you are NOT
specifying how much (client) area that your application will get. ***
Different brands (and versions) of browsers will use different
amounts
of space for their own 'chrome' (UI elements such as the URL/address
bar, etc.). I don't know of any way other than cross-browser testing
to discover the exact values, and they may change when a new version
of a browser is released!
4) If you don't want to open a new browser window, then you can use
the Window.resizeTo() DOM call in order to modify the size of the
current window.
For both 3) and 4), security policy in modern browsers may affect:
the
success of opening a new window (i.e., pop-up blockers), and to place
limits on net window size.
5) You can call the JavaScript/DOM code from your Flex application
using the Flash ExternalInterface API. For more information, see (for

So it's [URL from drop] and [the drop acceptor's label string] values that

Subject: [flexcoders] drag and drop ('into' the list items, while not adding
to the list itself; Ex: iTunes)
Hello All. I've run into a problem, need other perspective(s)/solutions:
Simply put: I want to implement drag and drop, like iTunes, in an AIR app.
Seems easy, but...this particular scenario is puzzling.
Right now, just like iTunes, I have two list-based controls (both are
populated from collections of data within SQLite), one is a DataGrid and one
is a List. Dragging and dropping from the Grid to the List is simple, yes,
but I would like to drop on the list item's label/text/name in the List and
perform another function (specifically an update to SQLite) and NOT simply
drop the item and append to the list. Follow?
As in iTunes, you can drag a song into a folder and it adds the song into
the folder. (I would make that reference in SQLite in this case). It
doesn't make a new folder by appending (wrongly) the dropped song to the
folder list. (Which is what I have now: If I drag a item from the grid and
drop it on the list, it's appended to the list, but I want it to become a
value within the list item (pseudo nested) not a value in the list itself.)
Is there a simple solution here I'm not seeing?
Now, I can do all that neat stuff by dragging a grid item unto a mx:Button,
but with only one button. Maybe I could loop/repeater to make a vertical
stack of buttons from an array? But then it gets unclear as to how each
button is created with the necessary dragEnter and dragDrop event
handlers... any help here?
This wheel has been invented before. So how in Flex?
David

[flexcoders] how to forcibly minimize a window via flexmdi window
Hi gang,
I've been toying with the outstanding flexmdi component from flexlib
and have found something challenging...
One of the pieces of the MDIWindow is the minimize() function. I'm
creating the windows on the canvas dynamically based on the users last
know settings...including whether they have minimized any of the windows
on their dashboard. I have a variable in their record for each window
called isCollapsed (bit/bool). What I'm trying to do is when the
records are read and the windows are dynamically created, I check to see
if the isCollapsed == true and if so, I'm trying to fire the
MDIWindow.minimize() function. However, it's expecting a mouseEvent and
I'm not sure how to force a non-existent event into the function???
Basically, I need to programmatically emulate a mouseclick on the
minimize button of the window.
I've tried a number of alternative methods without success,
including these:
newWindow.minimize();
newWindow.minimize(null);
newWindow.dispatchEvent(MDIWindowEvent.MINIMIZE);
dispatchEvent(new
MDIWindowEvent(MDIWindowEvent.MINIMIZE, newWindow));
Here is the minimize function:
public function minimize(event:MouseEvent = null):void
{
// if the panel is floating, save its state
if(windowState == MDIWindowState.NORMAL)
{
savePanel();
}
dispatchEvent(new MDIWindowEvent(MDIWindowEvent.MINIMIZE,
this));
windowState = MDIWindowState.MINIMIZED;
showControls = false;
}
Has anyone tried to do this or have any ideas on what to try next?
Thanks,
Adrian

Sorry, but I don't think you're coding this correctly. Specifically:
1) I don't see your browser size detection code in the HTML wrapper
file at all. E.g., it is missing:
script type=javascript
var browserHeight= screen.availHeight;
var browserWidth = screen.availWidth;
/script
2) In any case, I'm not 100% clear as to what you are trying to
accomplish via the external interface. However, to get the available
screen width the following code will *probably* work (I haven't tried
it or tested it):
In ActionScript (note the quotation marks):
var width:Number = ExternalInterface.call(getAvailWidth);
assuming you have a JS function (in the HTML wrapper file) like this:
function getAvailWidth()
{
return screen.availWidth;
}
Then write similar code for the height, etc.
3) BTW, as a general rule, I've found it most productive to debug JS
code first (in isolation), _before_ attempting to call it from Flex.
4) Please look at the Adobe documentation for the ExternalInterface
API and the HTMLWrapper file again. I think--for now--you've reached
the limit as to what can reasonably be addressed via postings on
FlexCoders.
Good luck,

Now that only give you control over the drop functionality. You still need
to extract the necessary key values form the source and target data, and
build your update data structure and send it to the server, however you are
doing that.
Break this into steps. Make sure you can update the server with data from
the source and target lists. Hard code the data as needed to test the
Flex-server--database-server-flex process. You can choosw whether you
want the drag operation to update the client target list or whether you want
to return the new list data from the server and re-populate the list with
that.
When you can update the database successfully, implement the dragDrop
handler, extract the key/data values form the source and target, and pass
them to the function you created and tested in the step above.
