Hi Sajid Hussain

I think you are wrong in setting Gateway file,
Do you have set path for Zendamf library, you can setting Zendamf
library in php.ini file as below

include_path = C:\library

or setting in you gateway file as below

?

define('APPLICATION _PATH', realpath(dirname( __FILE__) .
'/../application/ '));

set_include_ path(
get_include_ path()
. PATH_SEPARATOR . APPLICATION_ PATH . '/../library/ '
. PATH_SEPARATOR . APPLICATION_ PATH . '/models/'
. PATH_SEPARATOR . APPLICATION_ PATH . '/services/com/ '
);

require_once Zend/Loader. php;
 
?

When you browser gateway file (index.php) and it comes up for download
. Dont borther it, it right. At time, you can start Flex app and test.

Best regard

 Yes it does. It acts as a proxy between whatever application you are

 I've run into a very frustrating situation and need your help:

 - Flex uploads a file to the server
 - The server reads it into a Java BufferedImage object.
 - However, Java sometimes takes 40 seconds or longer to reply
 - In some cases it has difficulty reading the file.

 In the cases of problems, Flex just hangs. It doesn't reply with
 anything. Is it timing out? Any help appreciated.

[flexcoders] One project - Multiple SWFs

2009-02-06 Thread nishantkyal
Hi,

I've a project where I'm creating a lot of content as SWFs which is 
loaded by the main application. These content SWFs are not modules and 
will be loaded by SWFLoader.

I want to know how can I create these (large number of) content SWFs 
using flex. The content will be residing in nested folders.

As far as I know, we can create SWFs by either compiling flex 
applications or thru FLAs. Is there a way flex components can be 
compiled into independent SWFs? I have no functionality inside these 
SWFs, only graphics.

Any help much appreciated.

[flexcoders] Flex Truncating Button Labels

2009-02-06 Thread goddess12206942
I posted this on StackOverflow.com but thought I'd see if you guys
might have any ideas as well:

First and foremost, I apologize for any vagueness in this question. At
this point, I'm simply trying to get some new ideas of things to try
in order to diagnose this bug.

Anyway, the problem I'm having is with an application that's using a
custom moduleloader. That moduleloader has been compiled into an swc
and the moduleloader is being instantiated via its namespace. This all
works perfectly fine. The problem I'm encountering is specific to
mx:button controls used within modules. For whatever reason, their
labels are being truncated so, for example, Sign In is showing up as
Sign ...

After quite a bit of fooling around I have been able to establish the
following:

   1. This problem only seems to occur within modules. If a button
control is used in the main mxml, the label does not get truncated.
   2. The button control whose label is being truncated does not have
a width specified (setting its width to 100% or a specific pixel width
doesn't fix the issue)
   3. The button control is using the default padding (messing with
the padding by setting left and right to 5 or any other value doesn't
help matters either).
   4. We are not using any embedded fonts so I've ruled that out as a
possibility as well.
   5. mx:CheckBox and mx:LinkButton are equally impacted by this
problem although mx:CheckBox also seems to not want to show its
checkbox, it just shows the truncated label.

A potential side affect of this is that attaching a dataprovider to
mx:ComboBox causes the combobox control to throw a drawing error but
I'm not entirely certain that it's related to the above problem.

One interesting thing I did find while perusing the net for an answer
was a mention of fontContext and its relationship to
IFlexModuleFactory. There's no specification for fontContext within
our implementation of moduleloader so I'm not entirely certain if this
could be the issue. In any case, if anyone has any ideas, it would be
hugely appreciated. On the other hand, if you know exactly what ails
me and can provide me with an answer, I might just wet myself with
excitement. It's late. I'm tired. I NEED my Flex app to play nice.

Thanks in advance,

--Anne

Edit: To clarify what I'm looking for with this question, I really
just need to know the following:

   1. Could this issue be caused by a namespace conflict?
   2. What else can potentially override the default behavior of
labels if no CSS has been implemented?
   3. Has anyone encountered a problem with inheritance being lost
while using a custom implementation of moduleloader?
   4. Has anyone encountered this problem or a similar problem with or
without using moduleloader?

I'm not sharing any code with this question simply because I'd have to
share the entire application and, unfortunately, I can't do that.
Again, I'm not looking for the end all, be all solution, just some
suggestions of things to look out for if anyone has any ideas.

Re: [flexcoders] Tables in Rich Text Editor

2009-02-06 Thread Josh McDonald
I'd definitely be interested in extending TLF when it's released. Is it
going to live in Player, or in the Flex framework? If the latter, why would
it not be open sourced? Is it going to be part of Builder pro? Am I dreaming
hoping for answers to those questions? ;-)

-Josh

On Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 3:48 PM, Gordon Smith gosm...@adobe.com wrote:

The Halo RichTextEditor component will never support tables; it is
 based on the Player's TextField, and the Player team has no plans to improve
 TextField. Instead, the Player team has provided, in Flash Player 10, an
 entirely new text engine known as FTE (Flash Text Engine) on top of which a
 Text Layout Framework (TLF) library is being developed. Gumbo components --
 including the new FxTextArea -- use TLF to do their text rendering. And
 we're working on making it possible for Halo components to also get some TLF
 capabilities.



 The first version of TLF, which will ship with Gumbo, will support cool
 stuff like bidirectional text (for right-to-left languages like Arabic and
 Hebrew mixed together with left-to-right languages), virtualized scrolling
 (so that you can scroll through large amounts of text without requiring too
 much memory), multiple columns, vertical Asian text, embedded graphics,
 superscripts/subscripts, ligatures, a better markup language, and a text
 object model, but… it will unfortunately not support lists or tables. : (



 Lists and tables are scheduled for a future release of TLF, after Flex 4.
 The good news is that new versions of the TLF library will be able to be
 released more quickly and easily than new versions of the Player, so you
 shouldn't have to wait too long for improvements.



 Discussions are also underway about open-sourcing TLF, or at least making
 its source available, in which case you could try implementing tables
 yourself if you are very ambitious.

The third party company provide me the functions and I need make sure
they works fine before coding.

I use xmlspy to test web service functions before and I am looking for

If the 3rd party you are using - uses amfphp, you can use the service  
browser (if they allow access). You just submit data in JSON format,  
etc.

I know it is probably a long shot, but just throwing it out there.

[flexcoders] Save Configuration

2009-02-06 Thread thelordsince1984
Hi,

suppose that i have a main application and here i can create three
differents type of panels (mypanel extend Panel)...

then i have a button that permits to save the current pèanel inside
the app and its position into the screen..this is made by getting
parameters for each panel...for example their position on the main app...

the panel name and his parameters are saved into a shared object...
the shared object is an array collection of objects, for example

mx:Object id=panel1 x=3 y=5 /

so when i open the second time my application, i read the shared
object i would retrieve the panel that i saved in the same position.
in this case panel1 in the position 3-5.
note the panel is created at startup for each time i launch the
application. i don't want to save the entire panel object into the
shared object.
how can i do this?

Thanks in advance 
Regards Lorenzo

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Problem in Streaming Live data using Flash Media Server

It depends on how you have FMS setup... if you are using the default
setup, you probably connect to your app instance with something like
rtmp://server/yourAppName.

 

I think the default setup expects streams in a streams folder. On the
FMS, try putting your flv file in
%FMS-Root%/applications/yourAppName/streams

 I don't know of one specifically.  What are you looking for this to

 I suspect you could write a tool to pass data to the web service and

I have not seen a tool that you could use to test this.

If I were doing this, I would write a tool in Flex and use Charles to
make sure the response is correct. There would be no need to have any
result code as Charles would show the object(s) being returned including
the data.

The following Application code will invoke the remote service. You can
use it to test the response from the server:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application pageTitle=Remote Object Test
xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
  width=100% height=100% layout=vertical horizontalAlign=center

 import mx.messaging.ChannelSet;

 private var TestService:RemoteObject;
 private var TestChannelSet:ChannelSet;
 private var TestAmfChannel:AMFChannel;

 public function onComplete():void
 {
 TestChannelSet = new ChannelSet();
 TestAmfChannel = new AMFChannel(my-amf,
http://theserver.com/path/to/gateway;);
 TestChannelSet.addChannel(TestAmfChannel);
 TestService = new RemoteObject();
 TestService.channelSet = TestChannelSet;
 TestService.destination = ActionV2.TestService;
 TestService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT,
getTestObjectHandler);
 TestService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT,

 {
 Alert.show(fault.fault.faultString,
fault.fault.faultCode.toString());
 }
 ]]
 /mx:Script
 mx:Button label=Get Test Object
click=TestService.getTestObject()/
/mx:Application

All you need to do is change the location of the remote server and
change the method called in the click event of the button to the method
you want to test. When you click the button, monitor the result returned
in Charles (http://www.charlesproxy.com)

RE: [flexcoders] DataGrid mouseover

2009-02-06 Thread Alex Harui
Not sure until you debug into it.

FWIW, you itemrenderer should be unnecessary as written.  By setting the DG 
column's dataField to Location (you can set the headerText to something more 
readable) and setting the DG's rowHeight to 33, you should see the same visuals 
and with better performance and less memory.  Using a container as a renderer 
is pretty heavy.

But if you do go with a custom renderer like this, you should pass data to 
super.data in the setter  or customize a getter.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Truncating Button Labels

2009-02-06 Thread Alex Harui
fontContext should only matter for embeddedfonts.

Compare the working example with the failed example closely.  You only have to 
be off by a pixel to cause truncation.  If the layout rules of the containers 
around the module cause it to be a different size that could be a problem.

Also note that any existing classes and styles in the mainapp supercede classes 
and styles in a module and could cause the widget in the module to think it has 
different metrics than you intended.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex Truncating Button Labels


I posted this on StackOverflow.com but thought I'd see if you guys
might have any ideas as well:

First and foremost, I apologize for any vagueness in this question. At
this point, I'm simply trying to get some new ideas of things to try
in order to diagnose this bug.

Anyway, the problem I'm having is with an application that's using a
custom moduleloader. That moduleloader has been compiled into an swc
and the moduleloader is being instantiated via its namespace. This all
works perfectly fine. The problem I'm encountering is specific to
mx:button controls used within modules. For whatever reason, their
labels are being truncated so, for example, Sign In is showing up as
Sign ...

After quite a bit of fooling around I have been able to establish the
following:

1. This problem only seems to occur within modules. If a button
control is used in the main mxml, the label does not get truncated.
2. The button control whose label is being truncated does not have
a width specified (setting its width to 100% or a specific pixel width
doesn't fix the issue)
3. The button control is using the default padding (messing with
the padding by setting left and right to 5 or any other value doesn't
help matters either).
4. We are not using any embedded fonts so I've ruled that out as a
possibility as well.
5. mx:CheckBox and mx:LinkButton are equally impacted by this
problem although mx:CheckBox also seems to not want to show its
checkbox, it just shows the truncated label.

A potential side affect of this is that attaching a dataprovider to
mx:ComboBox causes the combobox control to throw a drawing error but
I'm not entirely certain that it's related to the above problem.

One interesting thing I did find while perusing the net for an answer
was a mention of fontContext and its relationship to
IFlexModuleFactory. There's no specification for fontContext within
our implementation of moduleloader so I'm not entirely certain if this
could be the issue. In any case, if anyone has any ideas, it would be
hugely appreciated. On the other hand, if you know exactly what ails
me and can provide me with an answer, I might just wet myself with
excitement. It's late. I'm tired. I NEED my Flex app to play nice.

Thanks in advance,

--Anne

Edit: To clarify what I'm looking for with this question, I really
just need to know the following:

1. Could this issue be caused by a namespace conflict?
2. What else can potentially override the default behavior of
labels if no CSS has been implemented?
3. Has anyone encountered a problem with inheritance being lost
while using a custom implementation of moduleloader?
4. Has anyone encountered this problem or a similar problem with or
without using moduleloader?

I'm not sharing any code with this question simply because I'd have to
share the entire application and, unfortunately, I can't do that.
Again, I'm not looking for the end all, be all solution, just some
suggestions of things to look out for if anyone has any ideas.

[flexcoders] How to implement right click drill down for either PieChart or ColumnChart

2009-02-06 Thread tungchau81
Hi,
When a user **right-click on a wedge in a PieChart or a column in a 
ColumnChart control, I need to drill down into the data for that 
wedge or column and display new charts based on the selected menu 
item on the right-click menu. This should work similar to a normal 
left-click drill down available in Flex Chart using HitData. 

I have two problems:
Problem#1:
I know how to create right-click menu using ContextMenu and 
ContextMenuItem. However, I do not know how to make the right-click 
menu to show up **if and only if** a user clicks on a wedge of a 
PieChart or a column of a ColumnChart, not anywhere else. 

Problem#2:
I cannot use the rightClick event available in ColumnChart API 
because the event is only available in AIR runtime. Also, rightClick 
event is not associated with ChartItemEvent as itemClick event does 
and therefore, no hitData is available for me to figure what data was 
underneath the mouse when the right-click event was triggered. 

Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Tung Chau



RE: [flexcoders] Tables in Rich Text Editor

2009-02-06 Thread Gordon Smith
FTE is a set of native classes (flash.text.engine.*) inside Flash Player. It is 
already in FP10 and will get some improvements in future releases.

TLF is a set of AS classes (flashx.textLayout.*) currently available as a set 
of 4 SWCs in the Gumbo SDK (libs/textLayout_core.swc, 
libs/textLayout_conversion.swc, libs/textLayout_edit.swc, and 
libs/textLayout_textField.swc). The source code is not currently provided, but 
the APIs are documented.

Decisions about the availability of TLF source code involves a variety of

The Halo RichTextEditor component will never support tables; it is based on the 
Player's TextField, and the Player team has no plans to improve TextField. 
Instead, the Player team has provided, in Flash Player 10, an entirely new text 
engine known as FTE (Flash Text Engine) on top of which a Text Layout Framework 
(TLF) library is being developed. Gumbo components -- including the new 
FxTextArea -- use TLF to do their text rendering. And we're working on making 
it possible for Halo components to also get some TLF capabilities.



The first version of TLF, which will ship with Gumbo, will support cool stuff 
like bidirectional text (for right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew 
mixed together with left-to-right languages), virtualized scrolling (so that 
you can scroll through large amounts of text without requiring too much 
memory), multiple columns, vertical Asian text, embedded graphics, 
superscripts/subscripts, ligatures, a better markup language, and a text object 
model, but... it will unfortunately not support lists or tables. : (



Lists and tables are scheduled for a future release of TLF, after Flex 4. The 
good news is that new versions of the TLF library will be able to be released 
more quickly and easily than new versions of the Player, so you shouldn't have 
to wait too long for improvements.



Discussions are also underway about open-sourcing TLF, or at least making its 
source available, in which case you could try implementing tables yourself if 
you are very ambitious.

Pretty sure there is no such tool (as I am sure it would have been

Note the addition of the embedded resource definitions at the top. These are

have to duplicate every resource definition at the Application level, as
well as where they are really needed to compile.

Now I need to understand why this works. Is there a scoping bug in Flex with

I've encountered a similar problem. I've uploaded some sample code :

Basically, I'm embedding some icon resources to use them in popup menus. I
have an ActionScript file that embeds the resources and assigns them to a
classname - the usual technique. I then wish to populate a menu using some
XML as a dataprovider, with the icons being declared appropriately.

In the Main.mxml, you can see three approaches to popping up a menu. They
all use similarly-formatted XML, yet they differ in the manner in which they
access the embedded resources.

Only the third approach works, when it would seem reasonable that they all
should work.

[flexcoders] Re: Silent Print from Flex on Kiosk

2009-02-06 Thread Jeremi Bergman
If anyone else comes across this need, here's how I solved it for my
particular setup.

My Flex app is the client on the Kiosk that connects via RPC back to a
PHP backend.

So when I need to print, I call a service on my backend which
generates a PDF and returns a URL.

Flex then calls a Java Print Server that I wrote that sits and listens
for incoming URLs to print. When it gets one, it prints to the default
printer.

Javascript was just too inconsistent for this.

 It would be nice to be able to add an app as a Trusted application,

[flexcoders] Odd behaviour with scaleX/scaleY when only minWidth/minHeight is set

2009-02-06 Thread Jason Y. Kwong
Consider this VBox:

mx:VBox id=mybox borderStyle=solid minWidth=400 minHeight=300/

There's no explicit width or height, only the minimums are set.  When the
app runs, we get a 400x300 box.  All good.  However, if we try to scale this
box:

mybox.scaleX = mybox.scaleY = 0.5;

I would think that we would get a box that's 200x150.  Instead, I got a box
that's 100x75.  The scaling had been set to 0.25.  I've tried this for
different values and it appears that the value is being squared, eg. 0.5*0.5
= 0.25.  If I try 0.6, I get 0.36, etc.  If I set explicit dimensions of
400x300, then the scaling works fine.  Am I missing something?  I assume
that this is not intended behaviour?  Anybody else experience this?


RE: [flexcoders] Flex Truncating Button Labels

2009-02-06 Thread Anne Porosoff
Alex,

I think you may be on to something.  I started messing around with the 
resolution on my laptop and noticed that the labels and such look perfectly 
fine if I'm running 1024x768 or even 1280x768.  However, the labels started to 
fall apart again as soon as I reset my resolution back to 1600x900.  Little 
strange but makes me wonder if the metrics are getting out of whack with higher 
resolutions.

 Compare the working example with the failed example closely.  You only
 have to be off by a pixel to cause truncation.  If the layout rules of the
 containers around the module cause it to be a different size that could be
 a problem.
 
 Also note that any existing classes and styles in the mainapp supercede
 classes and styles in a module and could cause the widget in the module to
 think it has different metrics than you intended.

 Subject: [flexcoders] Flex Truncating Button Labels
 
 
 I posted this on StackOverflow.com but thought I'd see if you guys
 might have any ideas as well:
 
 First and foremost, I apologize for any vagueness in this question. At
 this point, I'm simply trying to get some new ideas of things to try
 in order to diagnose this bug.
 
 Anyway, the problem I'm having is with an application that's using a
 custom moduleloader. That moduleloader has been compiled into an swc
 and the moduleloader is being instantiated via its namespace. This all
 works perfectly fine. The problem I'm encountering is specific to
 mx:button controls used within modules. For whatever reason, their
 labels are being truncated so, for example, Sign In is showing up as
 Sign ...
 
 After quite a bit of fooling around I have been able to establish the
 following:
 
 1. This problem only seems to occur within modules. If a button
 control is used in the main mxml, the label does not get truncated.
 2. The button control whose label is being truncated does not have
 a width specified (setting its width to 100% or a specific pixel width
 doesn't fix the issue)
 3. The button control is using the default padding (messing with
 the padding by setting left and right to 5 or any other value doesn't
 help matters either).
 4. We are not using any embedded fonts so I've ruled that out as a
 possibility as well.
 5. mx:CheckBox and mx:LinkButton are equally impacted by this
 problem although mx:CheckBox also seems to not want to show its
 checkbox, it just shows the truncated label.
 
 A potential side affect of this is that attaching a dataprovider to
 mx:ComboBox causes the combobox control to throw a drawing error but
 I'm not entirely certain that it's related to the above problem.
 
 One interesting thing I did find while perusing the net for an answer
 was a mention of fontContext and its relationship to
 IFlexModuleFactory. There's no specification for fontContext within
 our implementation of moduleloader so I'm not entirely certain if this
 could be the issue. In any case, if anyone has any ideas, it would be
 hugely appreciated. On the other hand, if you know exactly what ails
 me and can provide me with an answer, I might just wet myself with
 excitement. It's late. I'm tired. I NEED my Flex app to play nice.
 
 Thanks in advance,
 
 --Anne
 
 Edit: To clarify what I'm looking for with this question, I really
 just need to know the following:
 
 1. Could this issue be caused by a namespace conflict?
 2. What else can potentially override the default behavior of
 labels if no CSS has been implemented?
 3. Has anyone encountered a problem with inheritance being lost
 while using a custom implementation of moduleloader?
 4. Has anyone encountered this problem or a similar problem with or
 without using moduleloader?
 
 I'm not sharing any code with this question simply because I'd have to
 share the entire application and, unfortunately, I can't do that.
 Again, I'm not looking for the end all, be all solution, just some
 suggestions of things to look out for if anyone has any ideas.
 
 
 



[flexcoders] Rotating Image with Matrix Transform

2009-02-06 Thread Corey Smaller
hi, Im working on rotating an image simulating the Free Transform tool
in Flash. I got it to rotate to 180 but then the image will not rotate
further. so basically it gets upside down and then fights me and
doesnt move.  I have the source viewable on the example. the method is
in the WidgetEditor.as class -- rotate image and calls the Rotate.as
class to rotate it. 
http://www.coreysmaller.com/test/ExchangeASClasses.html

any help would be muy appreciated!
thanks
Corey 



Re: [flexcoders] Re: Getting at variables inside a function that accepts a function

2009-02-06 Thread Josh McDonald
It's not possible, any closure only has access to the variables in scope
when it is defined.

function foo(a,b,c,f)
{
  var bar = function() {//has access to everything in foo}
  function baz() {//Same as above}
}

var bash = function() { //Does not have access to what's in foo() at any
time}

foo(1,2,3,bash) //Doesn't suddenly give access to foo's locals.


Think of it this way - if what you wanted were possible, then what would
happen if I just invoked bash() instead of passing it to foo()?

There are tricks to achieve something similar to what you want, but they
require changing foo(), in which case you only need to pass arguments to the
f() function.

 No as the functions are in separate classes and the var a, b, c, d are
 private so in my class that calls the remote function I get Undefined
 property a.

 What about putting the vars in as params? Then I think there is a way
 to access the params by order, correct?

 So something like this to get at a in this example

 public function acceptingFunction (func1:Function=null,
 func2:Function=null):void{
 var a:Number;
 var b:String;

 if(func1  func2){
 if(func1(a=43))return true; --- inserting local param
 anotherAcceptFunction(func2);
 }
 }

 Then do this...

 acceptFunction(function():void{ whatever code is to get at params by
 order params[0]?});

  Subject: [flexcoders] Getting at variables inside a function that

  How would I go about getting at variables of a function when I send in
  an anonymous function so...
 
  public function acceptingFunction (func1:Function=null,
  func2:Function=null):void{
  var a:Number;
  var b:String;
 
  if(func1  func2){
  func1;
  anotherAcceptFunction(func2);
  }
 
  }
 
  public function anotherAcceptFunction(func:Function=null){
  var c:Number;
  var d:String;
 
  if(func){
  func
  }
  }
 
  acceptFunction(function():void{get at vars a,b,c,d from here});
 
 
  I really don't want to extend the orig. function if I can help it, in
  this case extend the acceptingFunction, as its from some other library.

[flexcoders] Re: array not being refreshed

2009-02-06 Thread stinasius
even when i use an array collection there is no change. even the
displayshelf component has a mechanism of turn an array into
arraycollection. i don't know if its possible to have new images
loaded in the component dynamically. i have only tried using this
component with static images but now my images are a database. any one
with an idea?
