I have an Image component working. It has next and previous buttons that change the source of the Image component when they are clicked. This works fine so far. The problem is it looks like crap when it changes. How would you architect a source change effect so there would be a nice transition between the current image and the next or previous image? For example, I want it to handle a crossfade where one image fades out and the next fades in or a move in effect where one image moves off the screen (and fades out) and another image fades in and moves in to the current image location. I know there is a showEffect and hideEffect but I need something like a sourceChangeNextEffect and a sourceChangePreviousEffect.
[flexcoders] RSL and RT loading CSS
I have an application that uses RSL's. I also have a couple of CSS's files containing embeded images etc. that are set to compile to swf and are loaded at run time. When I run the application it loads all the RSL's from the same folder as the application as the root gets set automatically to the main swf. Then the in the initialization of the application I call StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations to load in the compiled css files. My problems start here as the CSS swf completes loading, for some reason they cause all RSL's to be loaded again but this time without root being set so they are effectivwely relatve to root on the server rather than relative to the application. Therefore to get it all to work I need all the RSL's in two places! Secondly the second loading of the RSL's is unecessary as they are already loaded and in fact just after loading for the second time they all get unloaded again, it also takes a significant amount of time so you sit waiting to be able to do something whilst all this loading/unloading is taking place. It also seems that loading modules causes the RSLs to get reloaded as well. So what am I doing wrong are are RSLs just all messed up. tks
[flexcoders] Extended DataGridColumn does not display in design mode
I have subclassed DataGridColumn but for some reason it does not render in design mode. Compiles and runs fine, no problem there. All myDataGridColumn has is a couple extra properties. No code, no overrides, except for a call to super() in the constructor. I checked DataGridColumn's source and found no special metadata. Is there anything special that needs to be added/set in design.xml? btw, I checked the SDK's design.xml and did not see any reference to DataGridColumn. Any help greatly appreciated TIA julio btw: using sdk 3.2, FB 3.0.2

I play the Glow (myGlow.play()), but I'm not getting glowing. Do I
need to pause and restart after the array changes? If I clear the
array entirely can I just call myGlow.stop() ?

I'm struggeling with a strange issue:
I need to load multiple SWFs and call a function inside them. All SWFs
contain a
localconnection. I know a local connection ID can only exist once. Is it
possible to load
and
unload these SWFs with the same connection ID?
The first call of
swfLoader.source = clip1.swf;
works. But if I try to load the next one with

doesnt work. I've already tried to close the connection and recreate the
localconnection

Any ideas?
Many thanks.

[flexcoders] Newbie Help
Hi All, I am very new to Flex as a matter of fact I just wrote hello world :) Anyway, I am evaluating Flex against SilverLight for our new development. Our current web app is legacy ASP (not ASP.Net) and I have completed a prototype for SilverLight and as a C# developer I was able to get it done pretty fast. I was reading about Flex and it seems to be also straight forward. I have few questions if someone can help me with. 1. Is it possible to add a flex object to an existing ASP page. If not, how can I call and pass information between classic ASP and Flex, is it possible? 2. I would like to know how to create a hierarchal data grid in Flex? I saw some examples of the new Hierarchical collection, if it is the solution, is there a simple example somewhere I can use? 3. I would like to print reports from web and currently silverlight has buggy implementation of print, is it possible to print from Flex web page? Also is it possible to export the data to PDF or HTML format? I am doing reading right now, as the Flex expert you could help me speed up to make my decision. Thanks a lot.
[flexcoders] Custom Flex Components in AI come out warped...

Well, my question is regarding the Flex Component Graphics that can be customized in Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop and maybe other Adobe design tools. I want to play around with customizing (graphically) some Flex components, so I loaded the appropriate files to my Illustrator CS4 and started editing away. Just small stuff to see how it all works. Things like making the scroll bar thinner, making the thumb shorteretc... I made sure to make the same changes to all states. Well, when I finished, on more than one occasion, I end up with freakish looking component that is barely recognizable. I used scale 9, so I don't think it's that. Anyway, surely some of my fellow developers can direct me to some helpful reading or tutorials on making those graphical changes to Flex Components. I hope..??? Kevin

[flexcoders] Manually Dispatching Creationcomplete event
Hi all, Can anyone help me how to dispatch creation_complete event manually. In my project i am using a viewstack with three canvas under it.And for each canvas one datagrid is there. A vbox is holding this viewStack and vbox also has maximize functionality. When the user click on maximize button vbox will expand till the browser. And at the same time when the vbox is maximizing iam dynamically adding one column to all the datagrids. This is the actual functionality. But here iam getting an error. With out clicking on the other two canvas's if i maximize the vbox iam getting an error like this:canvas2 and canvas3 are null. So cannot add a column to the respective datagrids. So here what iam thinking to do is to manually call creationcomplete event for canvas 2 and 3 so that when user directly click on maximize with out clicking on canvas2 and 3 it should add a column to the datagrid 2 and 3. For now my program is adding a column to only datagrid1. ITs not adding to the other two datagrids. Am I going in the right way or any one suggest me how can i solve this issue. Thanks in Advance, Poornima

I found the following adobe TechNote: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do? externalId=kb403184sliceId=1 appears to state that post Flash player 9.0.115.0 the Authorization header can be sent with either GET or POST. I have player 9.0.224.0. However, I cannot the Authorization header or a custom header to go across. Has anyone successfully set the Authorization header for any customer header for that matter with the HttpService? Thanks. -S
[flexcoders] Events and Child SWFs
Hi guys,
I've got a parent application with a 'delete' button. When it's
clicked, I want to set a flag in a child swf, which is loaded via SWF
loader.
So in the parent app on the button's click event I'm dispatching an event:
dispatchEvent(new Event(inDeleteMode));
In the child SWF's init function I've got this:
this.addEventListener(inDeleteMode, deleteModeHandler);
And then the deleteModeHandler function (stubbed in for testing):
private function deleteModeHandler():Boolean
{
Alert.show(got it!);
return true;
}
It ain't working. Can someone see what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
David
Re: [flexcoders] Events and Child SWFs
You are assigning the listener to the wrong object. this is your child
swf, but it is the parent that dispatches the event. Depending on the rest
of the app this.parent might work. So:
this.parent.addEventListener(inDeleteMode, deleteModeHandler);

[flexcoders] Re: Events and Child SWFs
Hi Tracy,
Thanks for responding.
Here is my understanding:
1) The idea behind events and event listeners is that you can dispatch
an event anywhere in the app and listen for it anywhere else in the
app, assuming that bubbling is set correctly, and/or that you've used
Application.application.addEventListener() or
SystemManager.addEventListener(). What you're saying, then, is that
the preferred way to accomplish this is by having the listener in the
same component that dispatches the event, and have it call a method
that is in the second component. But you *could* just have the
listener in the second component, right?
2) Then, to do it as you suggest, the issue becomes how to reference
the second component from the first.
I've got the main app with a popup that holds the delete button. Since
the child swf is not loaded there, I'm not sure how to refer to it.
Elsewhere in the main app we load the swf with a load function:
load(url)
Inside the load() function are:
_loader = new SWFLoader();
...
_loader.addEventListener(complete, onChildLoaded );
_loader.load( url );
addChild( _loader );
So perhaps I could add the eventlistener there. I also think (correct
me if I'm wrong) that I need to refer to the loader's content, not the
loader itself. So the syntax would be:
_loader.content.addEventListener(inDeleteMode,
_loader.content.deleteModeHandler);
Do I have this right or am I completely confused? :)
Thanks,
David

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Events and Child SWFs
Hi Wally,
Looking at your question in blue, the simple solution is from your
parent app, reference a function in your swf that will set the
flag...remember it has to be public for the app to be able to reference it.
(parent document)
var childSWF:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader();
parentDoc.addChild(childSWF);
private function onDelete(event:MouseClick):void
{
childSWF.setDeleteFlag();
}
(child swf)
private var deleteFlag:Boolean = false;
public function setDeleteFlag():void
{
deleteFlag = true;
}
HTH,

Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 5:36 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Newbie Help Hi All, I am very new to Flex as a matter of fact I just wrote hello world :) Anyway, I am evaluating Flex against SilverLight for our new development. Our current web app is legacy ASP (not ASP.Net) and I have completed a prototype for SilverLight and as a C# developer I was able to get it done pretty fast. I was reading about Flex and it seems to be also straight forward. I have few questions if someone can help me with. 1. Is it possible to add a flex object to an existing ASP page. If not, how can I call and pass information between classic ASP and Flex, is it possible? As mentioned by the other respondent, ultimately a Flex application compiles down to a Flash byte code (.SWF) file. Your ASP page needs have a reference to that file, but via Object Embed tags. However, Adobe has already done a lot of the tedious work for you. When you build a Flex application, the IDE will spit out an HTML page with the proper tags and file reference already in it. All you have to do is serve that page up via ASP. As for data access, your Flex application can send data to your ASP server using the HTTP GET and POST verbs. When the server replies, it can send POX (plain old XML) in response. If you want to get fancy, you can also use SOAP, instead (but there may be some wrinkles doing that with a .NET/Windows stack). 2. I would like to know how to create a hierarchal data grid in Flex? I saw some examples of the new Hierarchical collection, if it is the solution, is there a simple example somewhere I can use? Try Adobe's documentation: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=advdatagrid_07.html 3. I would like to print reports from web and currently silverlight has buggy implementation of print, is it possible to print from Flex web page? Also is it possible to export the data to PDF or HTML format? More documentation: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=advdatagrid_07.html I am doing reading right now, as the Flex expert you could help me speed up to make my decision.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: portlets in Flex
One of the talks at MAX (Oli Goldmans? Maybe? That's off the top of my head) mentioned it was something that was looked at, and there were significant technical hurdles before it could become a reality. From some of the comments about the amount of resources the Player team have at their disposal, I wouldn't hold my breath at seeing multi threading soon. ((actually, thinking about it, one of the issues was that the Player was hosted in a browser, that's something that isn't true of AIR)) Someone earlier in the thread mentioned a combination of HTML and Flash, and I honestly believe that's the only real solution. Use localconnection and shared objects to marshal the data between the sub-apps, and if one of them fails, it only knackers that specific instance of the FP. The real trick is, knowing when the sub-app is knackered. With no global exception handling, and non-debug players silently failing, a failed app is hard to detect the deal with. Gk.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Events and Child SWFs
...listener in the same component that dispatches the event... No, not
quite. When you do Component.addEventListener(), you are telling the
current component to listen to Component for an event and run a method.
The declaration happens where you have the handler method, but you call
addListener using a reference to the component dispatching the event.
To set a listener for a non-bubbling event, you must have a reference to
the dispatching object.
For bubbling events, you only need to have a reference to some component
in the dispatching conponent's parent chain. Application.application is
at the top, except for Popups. Then SystemManager is the top.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Events and Child SWFs
Hi Tracy,
Thanks for responding.
Here is my understanding:
1) The idea behind events and event listeners is that you can dispatch
an event anywhere in the app and listen for it anywhere else in the
app, assuming that bubbling is set correctly, and/or that you've used
Application.application.addEventListener() or
SystemManager.addEventListener(). What you're saying, then, is that
the preferred way to accomplish this is by having the listener in the
same component that dispatches the event, and have it call a method
that is in the second component. But you *could* just have the
listener in the second component, right?
2) Then, to do it as you suggest, the issue becomes how to reference
the second component from the first.
I've got the main app with a popup that holds the delete button. Since
the child swf is not loaded there, I'm not sure how to refer to it.
Elsewhere in the main app we load the swf with a load function:
load(url)
Inside the load() function are:
_loader = new SWFLoader();
...
_loader.addEventListener(complete, onChildLoaded );
_loader.load( url );
addChild( _loader );
So perhaps I could add the eventlistener there. I also think (correct
me if I'm wrong) that I need to refer to the loader's content, not the
loader itself. So the syntax would be:
_loader.content.addEventListener(inDeleteMode,
_loader.content.deleteModeHandler);
Do I have this right or am I completely confused? :)
Thanks,
David

Yep - load the image with a loader, then dump it to a BitmapData object. Create 100 Bitmap objects that reference the single BitmapData object.

[flexcoders] How to reload a SWFLoader swf in place

Short of making them completely reload the app just to see the one widget get updated, I've added a reload icon to the panel controls, thinking that they can reload the single widget at will. So now the key questions are these: 1.) How do I get a SWFLoader object to reload in place? 2.) How do I get the document.parameters that were passed when the original SWFLoader was created passed again into the reloaded swf? Thanks in advance!! Adrian

[flexcoders] Does ASDoc process metadata tags?
I have classes that are marked with [Managed] and [Bindable] tags. Even though these objects do not extend eventDispatcher I can call dispatchedEvent, addEventListener, and removeEventListener on them.

To work around the problem I would compile my CSS swf and modules in a separate project where they are statically linked instead of using RSLs.

Then the in the initialization of the application I call StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations to load in the compiled css files. My problems start here as the CSS swf completes loading, for some reason they cause all RSL's to be loaded again but this time without root being set so they are effectivwely relatve to root on the server rather than relative to the application. Therefore to get it all to work I need all the RSL's in two places! Secondly the second loading of the RSL's is unecessary as they are already loaded and in fact just after loading for the second time they all get unloaded again, it also takes a significant amount of time so you sit waiting to be able to do something whilst all this loading/unloading is taking place.

The problem with modules loading the same RSLs will be fixed in Gumbo i10 http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-15470. The StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations issue sounds like the same kind of problem. To work around the problem I would compile my CSS swf and modules in a separate project where they are statically linked instead of using RSLs. For every SWC you link as an RSL in you main application project, link those SWCs as external in the CSS swf and modules project. -Darrell --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, reflexactions reflexacti...@... wrote: I have an application that uses RSL's. I also have a couple of CSS's files containing embeded images etc. that are set to compile to swf and are loaded at run time. When I run the application it loads all the RSL's from the same folder as the application as the root gets set automatically to the main swf. Then the in the initialization of the application I call StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations to load in the compiled css files. My problems start here as the CSS swf completes loading, for some reason they cause all RSL's to be loaded again but this time without root being set so they are effectivwely relatve to root on the server rather than relative to the application. Therefore to get it all to work I need all the RSL's in two places! Secondly the second loading of the RSL's is unecessary as they are already loaded and in fact just after loading for the second time they all get unloaded again, it also takes a significant amount of time so you sit waiting to be able to do something whilst all this loading/unloading is taking place. It also seems that loading modules causes the RSLs to get reloaded as well. So what am I doing wrong are are RSLs just all messed up. tks

RE: [flexcoders] 3D flip effect
I believe so... the docs suggest you have to hack it since the registration point is always top left. Do a translation in the negative by half the component's width and height (this will get you centered), rotate it, then do the reverse translation to put it back in it's original spot. This was working fairly reasonably for me in an ENTER_FRAME handler with an image: img.transform.matrix3D.appendTranslation(-1 * img.width / 2, -1 * img.height / 2, 0); img.transform.matrix3D.appendRotation(1, Vector3D.Y_AXIS); img.transform.matrix3D.appendTranslation(img.width / 2, img.height / 2, 0); That'll just rotate infinitely -- it would be up to you to turn this into a reusable effect...

RE: [flexcoders] Re: A very simple code of ImageSnapshot
You're not giving any height to your uiHolder and then you're using the height
dimension when creating the BitmapData, so it fails because you're asking it to
create a BitmapData with invalid dimensions. Try it with real values for both
width and height and you'll get a better result.
Note that you're also creating an opaque BitmapData here, so you get a white
background by default.

I did this with an AreaChart by adding an event listener for mouse clicks to each AreaSeries object. I imagine you could do the same thing with PieSeries or ColumnSeries.

RE: [flexcoders] How to reload a SWFLoader swf in place
have a scenario (or six) where a user may change data in one widget that needs to be reflected in another widget. Why can't you use localconneciton or shared object to move the data rather than doing a reload? Gk.
