[flexcoders] I don't understand why I'm getting this compiler error
I'm getting a compiler message saying Event
type 'events.CustomEvent' is unavailable, and I don't understand
why. I'm hoping a second eye might catch the problem.
My custom event class is called CustomEvent.as: (the dao.Person class
is just a dummy class that stores a firstName, middleName, and
lastName, and I was going to see if the data in this object will be
available in my 'testEvent' handler).
package actionscript
{
import dao.Person;
import flash.events.Event;
public class CustomEvent extends Event
{
public var person:Person;
public function CustomEvent(person:Person,
type:String)
{
super(type);
this.person = person;
}
public override function clone():Event
{
return new CustomEvent(person, type);
}
}
}
I'm trying to dispatch the above custom event from a test component
called TestComponent.mxml:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:TextInput xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
mx:Metadata
[Event(name=testEvent, type=events.CustomEvent)]
/mx:Metadata
mx:Script

import actionscript.CustomEvent;

public function fireAway():void

var p:Person = new Person
(John, Missing, Doe);
var e:CustomEvent = new CustomEvent
(p, testEvent);
this.dispatchEvent(e);
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:TextInput
And finally, here is my MXML application that's supposed to test all
this and is called CustomEventsTest.mxml:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;

The compiler error message is complaining about the c:TestComponent
between the two lines of asterisks. Can anyone see why the compiler
is telling me
why CustomEvent is unavailable?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Re: [flexcoders] I don't understand why I'm getting this compiler error
Hi,
I think you are given wrong event type in this metadata tag,
mx:Metadata
[Event(name=testEvent, type=events.CustomEvent)]
/mx:Metadata
rather it should be complete package structure as,
mx:Metadata
[Event(name=testEvent, type=actionscript.CustomEvent)]
/mx:Metadata

[flexcoders] Re: Why cant I use mouseOver() in Image class, but using mx:Image tag, I can?
Hi Nate,
Thanks, it works
But I have one problem,
How can I show seperate details for each of the images?
rememver I have one cell that includes several images side by side
drawn from the loop bellow, and each one need to popup different data
on a tooltip.
private var tooltipData:String;
override public function set data(value:Object):void {
if (value != null)
{
removeAllChildren();
for (var i:int = 0; i value.hair.length; i++){
var img:Image = new Image();

tooltipData = image - +i;
img.percentWidth=value.hair[i].width;
img.maintainAspectRatio=false;
img.addEventListener(ToolTipEvent.TOOL_TIP_CREATE,
tooltipDetailCreate);
addChild(img);
}
}
}
private function tooltipDetailCreate(event:ToolTipEvent):void {
var tt:PanelToolTip = new PanelToolTip();

The result I'm getting now is that I see a tooltip for each of the
images but with the same data (tooltipData = the last iteration of the
loop).
How can I set a different data for each of the images.
Thanks a lot for the help :)

[flexcoders] Re: Why cant I use mouseOver() in Image class, but using mx:Image tag, I can?
well, i managed doing that :)
Using one panel, I use the currentTarget object of the evevnt allows
me to retrieve the dataPorvider elements
private function tooltipDetailCreate(event:ToolTipEvent):void {
var tt:PanelToolTip = new PanelToolTip();
var innerImage:Object = event.currentTarget;
tt.width = 190;
tt.height = 100;
tt.bodyText = image source: + innerImage.source;
event.toolTip = tt;
}
It looks great.
Now I have (of course) one more question.
Every image need to have a unique Key/Value elements in a hashMap.
I know Java but rather new in Flex,
How can I set a hashMap into my ArrayCollection dp?
and what is the attribute I need to set in my panel in order to see
it in my tooltip?
Thanks again

[flexcoders] Slice / Scale 9 Flex Skins don't scale
Dear all, we have some Flex Skins made in Flash exported as swc, as described in this article: http://devote.your.life.auricom.com/?p=70.

It seems that we have encountered a bug which is described here: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-15575. Does anybody knows a solution or a workaround in order to get bitmapped skins to scale in Flex? Any help is highly appreciated! Thanks in advance Reto

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Why cant I use mouseOver() in Image class, but using mx:Image tag, I can?
Ah, so that's what you were wanting to do. AFAIK, the tool tip for the class can't be substituted. What you should probably do instead is to turn off the tooltips, use the mouse over (or roll over) event, and when you detect mouse over, use the PopUpManager to show your custom component. ~Nate

Re: [flexcoders] ItemRenderer in Actionscript
You can't directly because there is no way to create a component on
the fly in actionscript.
Create the component (mx:label) as a stand alone file; either with
MXML or ActionScript.
Then create the DataGridColumn in AS, something like this:
var DGC : DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn()
DGC.headerText = 'col1'
DGC.datafield='col1'
DGC.itemRenderer = myothercomponent
From a re-usability stand point I'd try to avoid the use of
outerDocument. Binding in an itemRenderer can cause performance issues
so you may want to override the dataChange event to change the text.

RE: [flexcoders] Slice / Scale 9 Flex Skins don't scale
Read the below link, it may give an insight as to why your scaling isn't working. http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Scale9+in+FXG also you could try the below http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/9-slice_scaling.html http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb406044slice Id=2 I'd also recommend trying CS4 (if you haven't already) as I was creating custom components in CS3 flash for flex but I was always getting unexplained errors. Something along the line of 'publish - test - works fine' , 'add line of code - publish - test - fails', 'remove line of code - publish - test - fails!' Tested same code in CS4 at it always works. So maybe worth a try (the errors I got suggested it was to do with the way the SWC was generated, so whenever I need a swc from flash I'd recommend CS4) HTH Kenneth.

From the documentation, I noticed that AIR supports SUM, MIN, MAX, AVG, COUNT, and TOTAL: http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_air_aslr_en?localDatabaseSQLSupport.html SQLite lets you define your own functions in C: http://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/create_function.html Thanks, -george
[flexcoders] Drawing on skinned component
Hello,
I'm trying to draw something on a component skinned using a Flash
skin, but nothing is drawn (or better said, I don't see anything
because the drawing is done beneath the skin).
My code looks something like
public class TestButton extends Button
{
public function TestButton()
{
super();
}
override protected function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number):void
{
super.updateDisplayList(w, h);
var g:Graphics = graphics;
g.moveTo(0, unscaledHeight / 2);
g.lineStyle(1, 0x00);
g.lineTo(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight / 2);
}
}
I have tried using a Sprite as the topmost child and drawing on it,
but apparently there's always something above my Sprite and I still
can't see what I draw.
I've googled and searched the group archives for a similar problem,
but either I'm not using the right search terms or nobody had such a
problem before because I can't seem to find anything of help.
So, does anybody have some pointers as to what might one do to draw on
such a component?
Thank you!

re: [flexcoders] Best database for Flex
Flex is database independant. There is no data classes with Flex, unless you are working with AIR. With Flex you connection to your data using either ColdFusion RemoteObjects or Web Services with any (CF, PHP, .NET, etc) so it is more based on what each language can use (which is all of them) and your confort with programming with each. I am a CF developer and I use CFCs to manage my data with my Flex application. Deciding on a database is should be more based on the size of your project and your confort level with each. MySQL, MSSQL, and Oracle can all handle high transactions and heavy loads for most small, medium, and large web application. Access is never a great choice due to limited connections and file size. Access is cute, but not a good choice for an application that is going to grow.

[flexcoders] Re: Best database for Flex
Flex generates a Flash movie (SWF) file that runs in the browser (client side). It's therefore a presentation layer for your application. It calls your Java, PHP, ASP.NET, CFML, etc., server side code to do such things as fetching database records, authenticating/authorizing a user, etc. Your server side code generates data in a format that Flex can understand (for example, valid XML). Flex then consumes that and is able to display it in a datagrid or other control. In this regard, then, Flex is database-agnostic -- it doesn't care where the data it uses comes from. But as others pointed out, you'd want to avoid using MS Access for building web apps; the other databases provide their pluses/minuses. If you need something free, then MySQL/PostGre are good choices. If you're a Microsoft shop, then maybe SQL Server. And of course Oracle is a solid choice for enterprise apps as well. Hope this helps. - Alex C --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, christophe_jacquelin christophe_jacque...@... wrote: Hello, What is the best database for Flex: mySql or SQLServer ?

[flexcoders] tiling a container
Has anyone ever created an algorithm that can work out the max size of a square tile for X number of tiles inside a container of dynamic size. So if I create a container that is 100 * 100 and it contains 2 tiles (non overlapping) then the max size of the tile is 50*50. If I take the same container but I want 3 or 4 tiles then the max size is still 50 * 50. If the container was 50 * 100 then for 3 tiles the max size would be 33.33 *33.33, for 5 tiles it would have a max tile size of 25 * 25 and so on. I've created a function that does this already but it's not exactly optimal and I was wondering if anyone has done this or knows of a resource I could look at to figure out the best way.

Re: [flexcoders] Drawing on skinned component
I have tried using a Sprite as the topmost child and drawing on it
I think that's the way to do it. To make sure that your sprite is always on
top, just add addChild(yourSprite) at the end of the updateDisplayList
function. If the sprite is not on the display list, it's going to be added to
it, and if it's already there, it's going to be pushed on top of all the other
sprites.

Re: [flexcoders] Drawing on skinned component
Thank you for your answer Laurent. I was doing something similar, but more complicated: calling addChild(sprite) in createChildren() and then setting the index of the sprite to numChildren - 1 in updateDisplayList. Apparently the answer is to wrap the sprite in a UIComponent and adding that using addChild() (idea taken from http://casario.blogs.com/mmworld/2008/01/adding-a-sprite.html). I think the problem was that setting the position and size of the sprite using its x, y, width and height properties didn't work as expected. And, although I was setting the sprite to be as large as its parent, it had no effect (from the docs: Except for TextField and Video objects, a display object with no content (such as an empty sprite) has a width of 0, even if you try to set width to a different value.). Now, using move() and setActualSize() on the wrapper UIComponent does the trick. It works even without adding the sprite and drawing directly on the wrapper. However, this raises another question: it seems that resizing the UIComponent containing the Sprite, also resizes the Sprite; why wasn't the Sprite resized when adding it directly to the component?

[flexcoders] Accordion problem - rowCount/scrollbar
Is there a way to essentially disable the rowCount property of an accordion and just have it show as much content (including partial rows) in the vertical space that is available? I'm finding that if I set a rowCount which takes up less space than the expanded section has available I get an annoying thin gray bounding box and the scroll bar only extends down that far. I have dead space below that before the collapsed accordion headers are displayed. If I set my rowCount to be large enough to take up more space than there is my scrollbar is screwed up - there's no slider or up/down arrow visible. Does this make sense? I really want to specify no rowCount and have it show as much as possible based on the height available. (I need to fix the height of the overall accordion component to fit the design layout.)

[flexcoders] Optimizing Allocated Memory versus Used Memory in Flex/Air Applications
I've searched Google on this topic for a few hours with no success so I wanted to throw this out for the list to comment on. I'm working on an Air application that loads 20+ large png files. For some extreme cases we are seeing our application spike up to 800-1200m of operating system memory usage causing it to crash. I think we've resolved the issue by trial an error. However, in trying to track down the culprit I was disappointed by the information I had available from the Flex tooling. Using System.totalMemory and the Flex Builder memory optimizer, I often see a maximum memory usage of around 50m. However, the operating system (OS X or Windows will often show the same adl process using 400m or greater). From reading various articles on memory management and GC of Flash I'm assuming the difference is allocated memory versus actual in use memory. I'm further theorizing that image loading is using external OS resources or something to that effect. Is there any way to get more information from the Flash runtime about the OS level memory usage and what objects/classes are causing issues. It is kind of hard to track down a memory leak when you don't have visibility into the causes.

[flexcoders] Multiple filters on datagrid
I have four comboboxes populated from arrays. I have a datagrid populated
by an ArrayCollection. I can filter the ArrayCollection from each combo
box individually, but I need to filter by multiple selections. For
example, I may want to filter by UserID and Carrier and Origin.
The obvious solution is to run a conditional that appends a variable and
use the variable in the filter conditional.
if(cboUserID.text != ){
filterVar = 'item.USER_ID == cboUserID.text';
}
if(cboCarrier.text != ){
filterVar = filterVar + 'item.Carrier == cboCarrier.text';
}
public function processFilters(item: Object):Boolean {
if (filterVar.toString()) {
return true;}
{
return false;
}
The problem is that the processFilters function won't accept the filterVar
as a string. Is it a matter of using a different datatype or do I need to
escape characters or is this not possible? Is there a better way to do
this?
Thanks,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex server language
It's easy to get things done / setup if you already know what you're doing. But, lets compare apples to apples here.

I chose, Products ColdFusion, and download Free Trial. Login and I can either download the developer edition or the trial edition; with various options for language and/or OS. The CF install process is relatively painless across operating systems and across web servers. I have no doubt Adobe (Macromedia / Allaire) has devoted time to making that easy over the years. I doubt the download / install can be done in 10 minutes, but it is a relatively painless process. On the other hand, if I go to PHP.com (oops, I mean PHP.net ) I click the download link in the nav bar it gives me 6 options for Windows Binaries, I have 6 options of 5.2.8 for Windows.

[flexcoders] Relative Layout Question
Hi all, I have a question about using creative relatively-sized layouts: The default behavior http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/containers/Panel.html of many containers is to use adopt a height just large enough to fit all of it's children content. Manually specifying a relative height (e.g. 25%) for the container will work, but only if the content is small enough. Otherwise the height is increased to fit the content. e.g. ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=vertical width=600 height=600 mx:Panel height=75% mx:Text text=This panel should take up 75% of the application's height / /mx:Panel mx:Panel height=25% mx:Accordion mx:Form mx:Text text=Item 1 / mx:Text text=Item 2 / mx:Text text=Item 3 / mx:Text text=Item 4 / /mx:Form mx:Form mx:Text text=etc / /mx:Form /mx:Accordion /mx:Panel /mx:Application Instead of taking up 25% of the application height the bottom panel will expand to fit the accordion (which in turn has a height equal to the amount of space used up by it's larged child). Is there anyway I can force the panel to only expand to 25% of the main application's height? I can set an absolute height the panel's children which will assure a maximum height, but I would like to be able to use a relative height. Any ideas? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Keith

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex server language
Although I prefer open source software, it's true that most of the time it's harder to use an open source version that a paid for equivalent. Coldfusion is easier to setup than PHP, Photoshop or Word are more user friendly than Gimp or OpenOffice and so on. Open source software is free but you're kind of expected to make more efforts to use it - i.e. read the doc, search Google. Once you are used to it though, it's just as good as the paid equivalents. -- Laurent Cozic Flash, Flex and Web Application development http://pogopixels.com --- On Fri, 2/20/09, Jeffry Houser j...@farcryfly.com wrote: From: Jeffry Houser j...@farcryfly.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex server language To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, February 20, 2009, 4:29 PM It's easy to get things done / setup if you already know what you're doing.

Subject: [flexcoders] Multiple filters on datagrid
I have four comboboxes populated from arrays. I have a datagrid
populated by an ArrayCollection. I can filter the ArrayCollection from
each combo box individually, but I need to filter by multiple
selections. For example, I may want to filter by UserID and Carrier and
Origin.
The obvious solution is to run a conditional that appends a variable and
use the variable in the filter conditional.
if(cboUserID.text != ){
filterVar = 'item.USER_ID == cboUserID.text';
}
if(cboCarrier.text != ){
filterVar = filterVar + 'item.Carrier == cboCarrier.text';
}
public function processFilters(item: Object):Boolean {
if (filterVar.toString()) {
return true;}
{
return false;
}
The problem is that the processFilters function won't accept the
filterVar as a string. Is it a matter of using a different datatype or
do I need to escape characters or is this not possible? Is there a
better way to do this?

[flexcoders] Using Modules and Remote Objects
My flex 3 application, deployed on JBoss with BlazeDS, uses a Remote Object to get data from a class in a jar file. The application worked fine while all the code was deployed as a single Application mxml file. I then moved some of the code to a Module mxml file, which I navigated thru a Tab Navigator/VBox/Module Loader combination from inside the main application file. If the mx:RemoteObject tag was included in the Module mxml file, upon running the application nothing would display under the tab loading that module. If I removed the mx:RemoteObject tag, the module does load and display. Of course, I cannot do anything useful because I am unable to access the remote object and fetch data. If I include the mx:RemoteObject tag in the main application module, nothing displays. So how do you set up applications which use RemoteObjects and modules? Any help is much appreciated. Have a nice day!

Subject: [flexcoders] Relative Layout Question
Hi all,
I have a question about using creative relatively-sized layouts:
The default behavior
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/containers/Panel.html
of many containers is to use adopt a height just large enough to fit all
of it's children content. Manually specifying a relative height (e.g.
25%) for the container will work, but only if the content is small
enough. Otherwise the height is increased to fit the content.
e.g.
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=vertical width=600 height=600
mx:Panel height=75%
mx:Text text=This panel should take up 75% of the
application's height /
/mx:Panel
mx:Panel height=25%
mx:Accordion
mx:Form
mx:Text text=Item 1 /
mx:Text text=Item 2 /
mx:Text text=Item 3 /
mx:Text text=Item 4 /
/mx:Form
mx:Form
mx:Text text=etc /
/mx:Form
/mx:Accordion
/mx:Panel
/mx:Application
Instead of taking up 25% of the application height the bottom panel will
expand to fit the accordion (which in turn has a height equal to the
amount of space used up by it's larged child).
Is there anyway I can force the panel to only expand to 25% of the main
application's height? I can set an absolute height the panel's children
which will assure a maximum height, but I would like to be able to use a
relative height.
Any ideas? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

[flexcoders] Wicked Memory Leaks and Massive Loitering Objects
Hi all, My forehead is becoming flatter by the minute as I bang my head against the wall on this one In my dashboard application, I have a tab navigator with a canvas that defines each tab. A single tab/canvas has numerous panels and each panel has a swfloader swf file. When a user clicks on a different tab, I'm trying to unload all the components on the tab (canvas.removeAll()) before making the switch...in an effort to free up the memoryI've made sure to go thru and add appropriate listener removals but when I run the app, I end up like an ant standing in front of Hoover dam, yelling Bring it on!!. After clicking the third tab, memory is maxed and FF crashes So, I've run this sucker through the flex profilertaken snapshots and compared to find loitering objects...holy crapthere are PAGES of loitering objects...with the top two offenders being 62,000 String instances taking up 3,233,462 (30.01%) of memory and 439 Class instances taking up 3,308,623 (30.71%) of memory. Upon investigation, every freakin string that is returned from my web service calls and used in the panels is saved in memory... The rest of the top ten list are: UITextField, Function, Object, Array, Button, QName, WSDLMessagePart and UIComponent. (wtf is QName???) I've poured thru what I can find on the net about getting rid of all this junk...and haven't found much. I'm seriously hoping for some help because we cannot go public beta with this until I get the memory problems ironed out. I found some information that is perplexing... 1.) The removeAll() doesn't actually unload anything from memory?? It only removes it from the container?? What!?! 2.) I scrapped the removeAll() and tried instead to use the delete() function, cycling thru all the panels on the canvas and doing a delete panel. That pukes on me with the error 1189: Attempt to delete the fixed property mdiwindow. Only dynamically defined properties can be deleted. 3.) It seems that renderer's like to hang out for a while and enjoy the show...with no clear way to get rid of them (kinda like my Uncle Jesse) So, folks, all help here would certainly be appreciatedhow in the world do I get this stuff cleared out? Should I be trying to unload the swf's or will that results in the same thing as the removeAll()...gone...but not really? Looking forward to getting this resolved, Adrian

Subject: [flexcoders] Relative Layout Question
Hi all,
I have a question about using creative relatively-sized layouts:
The default behavior
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/containers/Panel.html
of many containers is to use adopt a height just large enough to fit all
of it's children content. Manually specifying a relative height (e.g.
25%) for the container will work, but only if the content is small
enough. Otherwise the height is increased to fit the content.
e.g.
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=vertical width=600 height=600
mx:Panel height=75%
mx:Text text=This panel should take up 75% of the
application's height /
/mx:Panel
mx:Panel height=25%
mx:Accordion
mx:Form
mx:Text text=Item 1 /
mx:Text text=Item 2 /
mx:Text text=Item 3 /
mx:Text text=Item 4 /
/mx:Form
mx:Form
mx:Text text=etc /
/mx:Form
/mx:Accordion
/mx:Panel
/mx:Application
Instead of taking up 25% of the application height the bottom panel will
expand to fit the accordion (which in turn has a height equal to the
amount of space used up by it's larged child).
Is there anyway I can force the panel to only expand to 25% of the main
RE: [flexcoders] Wicked Memory Leaks and Massive Loitering Objects
I like your humour Adrian! The loitering objects can be caused by many things. During my track down on leaks, I found out that most of the time, it was forgetting to set a property to null, not removing listeners as I expected, etc. Without seeing code, it's difficult to help you out properly. However, here are some things to ponder: * Allow for null values on all properties. When the null values are received, do a clean up and release all references. This is especially useful when you have bindings going on. * If you can't easily remove a listener, make it week by setting the last parameters of AddEventListeners() to true. * If you are using a Dictionary, allow for weak references: new Dictionary(true). * Item renderers do not release their reference to the data. You can built a helper function that can do this for you. (See attached file) * Alex Harui made a nice tutorial if you're not too familiar with the profiler ( http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2008/09/using_the_flex_builder_3x_prof.htm l) And be patient, at the end, you'll be able (unless there's a bug) to remove all bad references using the profiler.

[flexcoders] Re: event passing when source/destination are on different parent bubbling chains?
You need a loggedIn property somewhere in your model. It is initially set to false and when the user successfully logs in your controller code sets it to true. Any views that need to react to the log in have that property bound to a set method which fires off whatever code is appropriate when the value changes. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Mic chigwel...@... wrote: Hi Ryan, we are running Cairngorm with UM extensions. Theoretically I need to dispatch a UM event with callback where that callback is to a component other than the dispatching component. And because source and destination are so far apart conventional bubbling is not an option. Scenario: Because site visitors can be visitors or clients, the login component is just one child of several of a parent component. When a site visitor attempts to log on, Cairngorm/UM handles event propagation and handling, including saving server results in modelLocator VO etc. But if the login is successful, other components need to react - their functions must be called. One such component is a child of a child that is a peer of the login component. Even if I could grab a reference to the destination component function, and send it with the UM event from the source component, this feels like ugly hardcoding. Waving a magic wand I would be able to dispatch an event from anywhere and listen for it anywhere, without the limitation of only being able to bubble up the parent chain. This seems totally logical to me as obviously it is illogical to have to design one's gui architecture based on who needs to talk to who. Thanks for listening :-) Mic. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Ryan Graham Ryan.Graham@ wrote: In an app that has many parent and child components, how does one communicate across bubbling chains? I need to go up from a buried child component source to its parent, across to another of the parent's children, and down that chain to a child destination. Can this be done in Flex, or do I create my own event subscription component where anybody from anywhere can subscribe with a self.reference? Sounds like you're describing the controller's function in MVC architecture. Usually an event is triggered by some sort of user interaction in hopes of changing the state of the application in some way. If you store the state in some sort of centralized model somewhere, the controller can react to user events, update the model's state properties accordingly, and let any part of the view that is bound to the model update itself on property change. Is that the setup you are running right now? Are you passing data with this event that other components need? HTH, Ryan This message is private and confidential.

What if you change the architecture slightly, so that you have a manager that has a working memory collection and a for display collection? It can validate whatever gets added into the working memory part and then either add it to the displayable part or discard it.

[flexcoders] Re: Relative Layout Question
Thank you both for the suggestions.
You can use an expression in binding braces. Try this, see if it
does
what you want:
mx:Panel height={this.height/4}
This could work if I computed the desired height during initialization
and set it, however, this would mean that I would need to update it each
time the
window was resized. Perhaps if it's possible I could bind the height to
a variable, initialize the variable to use the desired height, and then
add an event handler
to update the variable each time the height changes. This isn't the most
elegant solution, however.
This should do the trick
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
verticalGap=0 paddingTop=0 paddingBottom=0 width=600
height=600
mx:Panel height=75%
mx:Text text=This panel should take up 75% of the
application's height /
/mx:Panel
mx:Panel id=my25panel height=25% layout=absolute
title={100/(this.height/my25panel.height)}
...
This also was pretty close, but not quite the effect I was looking for.
Aside from needing to update the height after resizing, setting the
height this way caused a scrollbar to surround the accordion. My end
goal (I probably could have been more clear about this before...) is to
have the entire accordion fit on screen at all times and take up 30% of
the available space. Any overflow within a given accordion entry could
be handled with a scrollbar.
Thanks :)

Re: [flexcoders] Gumbo / Flex 4 release date estimate?
To elaborate on Matt's post. Adobe (Macromedia) have traditionally had an 18 month release cycle. Since Flex 3 was released about a year ago [give or take a week]; you can add 6 months to today's date and that puts us in the beginning of September. Releases often (but not always) coincide with some event. Are there any major events around that date? If I had to give you a gut feel, I expect we'll see Flex 4 shipping at Adobe Max 2009.

Oh right. It is probably returning the preferred languages in Internet Options Languages (if you're on Windows IE), rather than the OS language locales.

[flexcoders] XML Parsing - maintaining a record pointer
hi, flexCoders!
thanks for all ur help in the past!
Does Flex maintain your record pointer while reading an xml file?
basically what i want to do is read each line and when I hit certain
values, read on for 4 or 5 records, then return to the original
process without starting back at the last record read at the first
read. I can do this the hard way of course by maintaining my own
pointer and treating the file as a giant array, but surely there is an
easier way?
for each (var xmlNode:XML in xml.children()) {
// do stuff
// if(xmlNode.something==aValue) {
for each (var xmlNode:XML read on into the file

Using System.totalMemory and the Flex Builder memory optimizer, I often see a maximum memory usage of around 50m. However, the operating system (OS X or Windows will often show the same adl process using 400m or greater). From reading various articles on memory management and GC of Flash I'm assuming the difference is allocated memory versus actual in use memory. I'm further theorizing that image loading is using external OS resources or something to that effect. Is there any way to get more information from the Flash runtime about the OS level memory usage and what objects/classes are causing issues. It is kind of hard to track down a memory leak when you don't have visibility into the causes. -- Fotis Chatzinikos, Ph.D. Founder, Phinnovation fotis.chatzini...@gmail.com,
Re: [flexcoders] Optimizing Allocated Memory versus Used Memory in Flex/Air Applications
I think Alex said that size was not impossible and you read it as possible. So I think he's agreeing with you. I figured that a compressed PNG would be far larger in a bitmap data format. Scott
[flexcoders] ColdFusion Application variables with LCDS
Hi, I'd like to set an application variable on my CF server which is recognized in the various cfc's I'm using through LiveCycle Data Services. However, if I set a variable inside an Application.cfm file, it doesn't get recognized inside the cfc functions when called through LCDS Destinations. I've confirmed that the application.cfm file is getting called, and my application scope variables are getting set. I've also confirmed that the application.cfm file is getting initialized before the lcds data call to the cfc. However, once the CFC gets run, it errors out saying that XXX is undefined in Application. I've changed the scope parameter inside my Destination definitions in data-management-config.xml to be application instead of request but this didn't help either. Anyone else offer some insight on this? Thanks in advance, Brendan -- Brendan Meutzner http://www.meutzner.com/blog/

[flexcoders] Re: AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup dynamically speaking
Found the issue...I left this in my code...as I was doing some experimenting... var columnGroup:AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup=new AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup(String(i)); Changing to... var columnGroup:AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup=new AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup(); Solved the issue...Now is there a way to name these columns with an id...So that later I can set the visibility true or false?

i am working on a project that is displaying html in the Flex Text component (via htmlText). it works great for showing basic html (b, i, u) but when i add an image it does not show the correct size. - is there a way to know when the image(s) have loaded in the text component? - i looked at a property called textHeight and it has a greater height than the height property. when i set the component height to this value it shows almost all the image but it is still too short - when debugging the text component i saw a yellow property in the debugger called, $height. this value had the correct height of the text component with image. any way to get this value? - is there a way to undefine the height so that it goes back to autosizing itself? ie, mytext.height = null; // component remeasures itself thanks friends
RE: [flexcoders] XML Parsing - maintaining a record pointer
I would suggest that you do not think in terms of reading the file.
Rather, use e4x to find the node you want to process, then go from
there.
OTOH, it is acceptable to manipulate an XMLList, especially if your data
is a single level.

You could use a different variable name in the inner loop, that way it
won't change the object in the outer loop.

Does Flex maintain your record pointer while reading an xml file?
basically what i want to do is read each line and when I hit certain
values, read on for 4 or 5 records, then return to the original
process without starting back at the last record read at the first
read. I can do this the hard way of course by maintaining my own
pointer and treating the file as a giant array, but surely there is an
easier way?
for each (var xmlNode:XML in xml.children()) {
// do stuff
// if(xmlNode.something==aValue) {
for each (var xmlNode:XML read on into the file
thanks,

RE: [flexcoders] ToggleButtonBar xml based dataProvider
Certainly. Why would you think not? Though to speak accurately, you would use XMLList or XMLListCollection as the dataProvider.

[flexcoders] Grid with header sections spanning the whole grid
I need to build a DataGrid that has header rows which span the whole grid. Basically, it's an invoice and items on the invoice are grouped by type. For each group, I want to have a row which spans across the whole grid, with text that will also span across multiple columns. I am hoping I can do this with the AdvancedDataGrid control but I haven't had much luck with the key requirement of having header rows that can span multiple columns. I also don't want it to have a tree structure. Any suggestions? Thanks
