[flexcoders] Menubar sub menu pop up orientation
Hi. I have a working MenuBar, with sub menus - all working exactly as I need it to. I was wondering, however, if there was a way to force the sub menu to open upwards instead of downwards in relation to the menu bar. I plan to place the MenuBar on the bottom of the component, and would like to make sure that if the component is placed near the bottom of the screen, that the sub menu pop up won't disappear from lack of screen space. Thanks, Sefi
Re: [flexcoders] Re: property editor component
Hi Tracy, Thanks for the help and the code. I ended up implementing the component myself, as a container of multiple types of editors. Similar to what you implemented really, just with separate editors instead of states.

Anyone has any ideas? Thanks
[flexcoders] Flex RAM memory use - (probably a question for the player engineers?)
Hi, we're having 2 issues with memory in Flex: 1) Part way through our Flex application we open an external HTML page (3rd party page). The user selects items from this page and then closes the page the control is then returned to the Flex application. This 3rd party page is heavy in terms of memory, and that memory is never getting released once the page is closed. Is it at all possible that Flex is holding on to a handle to that page and if so is there any way to release it, or is this definitely not a Flex problem, and more a browser issues or issue with the external page as I expect? 2) The Flex app is one part of a much larger website. When we proceed past the Flex app (ie the user proceeds to a page where the app isn't embedded), again much of the memory Flex was using doesn't seem to be getting released. A browser issue? Needless to say IE seems to be much more of a memory hog, but we've been looking at this in both IE and FireFox. Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Neil

[flexcoders] Re: Menubar sub menu pop up orientation
OK, some updates: What caused me to ask this, was that when I tried it, the sub menu appears to flow off the bottom of the screen. I tried it again, and it seems it only does this for the first time the sub menu appears. The second time, it kinda found out that it was flowing off the screen, and on consecutive clicks after the first the sub menu appears as it should (upwards instead of downwards). I hope I am making sense... :) So, an altered question: Any thoughts on how to control the direction the MenuBar sub menu appears (up or down)?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Reading the output of an AIR application in C#
You could check if AIR allows to output to the output stream (or System.Out) while running and you can catch that easily under Windows. See for more information: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.processstartinfo.redirectstandardoutput.aspx Of course, can also add some sort of file watcher and get an event when the file is added to a specific file (or a file with a specific name) and then directly open it in C#.

Re: [flexcoders] How to find the actual type of a custom flex component?
You should be able to override the className property, something like this:
override public function className():String{
return 'VBox'
}
Whether it is a good idea or not is open to discussion.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Reading the output of an AIR application in C#
Maybe you want to look at technologies other than AIR? Tom's suggestion of write to file, read from file should be implementable w/o shutting down the AIR app. You just have to implement some kind of directory watcher in the C# piece.

[flexcoders] form validation pop-up migrain
Hello everyone, I've been running into a pretty disturbing problem for the last few days. I am updating a login module so that it can handle user registration and password retrieval. I have various messages displayed depending on what the user did ( e.g : the password is incorrect ). And they all correctly appear IN FRONT of my login module. When the user clicks on the submit button, a validation function is called to check if the fields have all correctly been filled and if not, a pop up message is displayed telling the user that he didn't fill correctly all the fields. So here comes my problem : this particular pop-up is displayed BEHIND my login module. My guess would be that for some reason, the focus is given back to the login module, sending the pop-up behind it as fast as lightning. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to fix this issue ? I can provide more detailled info if you wish, like bits of code.

[flexcoders] Converting strings to numbers before sorting?
Hi all,
I have a problem related to sorting type-casted numeric data, and was
wondering if someone could help me out:
Given some numeric data stored as strings (11.5), how can I populate
it into a DataGrid and have it sort properly?
From the Flex API docs
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/dataGridClasses/Da\
taGridColumn.html#sortCompareFunction it appears that when you use a
labelFunction instead of a dataField to specify what should be displayed
in a column, that the output of the label function is what is then used
for sorting:
If you specify a value of the labelFunction property, you must
also provide a function to the sortCompareFunction property,
unless sorting is not allowed on this column.
So my first attempt was to simply cast the strings to numbers within the
label function and hope that the default sorters would still be
available:
private function testLabel2(item:Object, col:DataGridColumn):Number {
return parseFloat(item.string);
}
... I also tried using Number(item.string), however, neither worked so
I went to manually specifying the sort compare function:
public function sortAsIs(obj1:Object, obj2:Object):int {
if (obj1 obj2)
return -1;
else if (obj1 == obj2)
return 0;
else
return 1;
}
This didn't do the trick either. So finally, I decided to try doing the
conversion in the sortCompareFunction, just in case it was comparing the
original data fields and not the output of the label function. Again no
luck.
Anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the full code for the test case I am describing:

Re: [flexcoders] Converting strings to numbers before sorting?
Hi Keith,
Have you tried casting your string to a number via the number()
function first? Number() handles floating points well. We have the same
problem sorting kit numbers in true numerical fashion as we can have
some that begin with a letter versus a true number. So in our sort
compare we do this:
public static function compareKitNumbers(obj1:Object,
obj2:Object):int
{
var value1:Number = (obj1.KitNum == '' || obj1.KitNum ==
null) ? null : new Number(obj1.KitNum);
var value2:Number = (obj2.KitNum == '' || obj2.KitNum ==
null) ? null : new Number(obj2.KitNum);
var kitnum1:String = obj1.KitNum as String;
var kitnum2:String = obj2.KitNum as String;
var kit1Length:int = kitnum1.length - 1;
var kit2Length:int = kitnum2.length - 1;
if (isNaN(value1) isNaN(value2))
{
if (kitnum1.substr(0,1) kitnum2.substr(0,1))
{
return -1;
}
else if (kitnum1.substr(0,1) kitnum2.substr(0,1))
{
return 1;
}
else
{
value1 = new Number(kitnum1.substr(1,kit1Length));
value2 = new Number(kitnum2.substr(1,kit2Length));
}
}
if (value1 value2 || (isNaN(value2) !isNaN(value1)))
{
return -1;
}
else if (value1 value2 || (isNaN(value1) !isNaN(value2)))
{
return 1;
}
else
{
return 0;
}
}
HTH,

The issue is, When the data provider is null or empty my browser hangs, If I try adding a breakpoint in my custom header renderer I see that the creationCompleted is keep getting called, looks like its creating/validating header columns in a loop. What is the problem, Need to solve this ASAP, I am stuck here. Thanks Gireesh

[flexcoders] Printing same object twice, different results
In trying to track down a printing bug [1], I discovered that (on certain browsers) I can print the exact same object twice using PrintJob.addPage(myPage) and get different results, even though nothing about the object changed between calls [2] [3]. So far, I've found that the following things matter to some extent: 1) It doesn't show up on most systems, but it shows up almost every time on other systems 2) I must have compiled targeting flash player 10 3) Changing myPage's parent from the print preview control to Application.application immediately before printing makes the bug disappear on some systems, and less invasive on other systems. 4) Avoiding the print preview control and printing directly when attached to Application.application seems to make the bug disappear on all systems 5) It doesn't matter whether or not I use FlexBuilder's provided 3.2 SDK, the open source 3.2 SDK, or the open source 3.3 SDK. Does anybody have suggestions or thoughts on what might cause this? Do you have other suggestions for things that I can look at? Thanks.

[flexcoders] labelFunction on BarSeries not firing
Hello all,
I'm not to sure why this isn't firing. I've broke this down to the simplest

the bar chart that I'm having this issue with. Any Ideas would be much
appreciated.

Re: [flexcoders] syncing AIR/Flex app with mobile phones
Hi, You could consider to use the SyncML protocol. Now you probably would still need some program in the middle who can push the SyncML data to the mobile phone like via Bluetooth. Of course, you can also generate an iCal file or a vCard file. Maybe? Of course, you can just push to something like Google Calendar and Google Contacts (if it exists!)

[flexcoders] IDE + Continuous integration == meh?
I¹m trying to trim a little more fat off an application that has half a dozen RSLs and a scad of modules. The application is being built out of a continuous integration process using Flex Ant Tasks. My first thoughts were to tune compiled targets in the IDE (which worked nicely) and then use dump-config to generate a config file that I would use in lieu of flex-config.xml. This didn¹t work RSL/module file size stayed the same (scratches head). I¹ve read a heaping plate-full of great posts by Ryan Steward, Ted Patrick, that guy Alex at Adobe (ROWR) and a few others... does anyone have any horror stories or success stories they could share about reducing your application footprint?

[flexcoders] Re: wtf is a DragSource
Matt, when you say shallow copies below do you really mean references? I jsut ran across behavior where the dragSource items changed between the beginning of the drag and the dragDrop event. This happened because in the dragOver event handler I was changing the selectedIndex on the drag initiator. When this happens, the dragSource items became the new selectedIndex, not the item that was actually being dragged. Is this a bug or an undocumented feature? -- Howard Fore, howard.f...@hofo.com The universe tends toward maximum irony. Don't push it. - Jeff Atwood --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Matt Chotin mcho...@... wrote: So a DragSource is a little more than that. Check out the addHandler method for example. What happens is your source (e.g., the List) will create a DragSource, and then give the DS a function to say hey, if someone asks for data of this format, call this function to get the data. This can be really useful if it would be computationally expensive to give the data in a certain format. The List is a perfect example of this (and it leads to an answer for Dave). The List (and subclasses) DataSource has two formats stored, source and items. The source is the List where the dragging was initiated. Easy enough. The items are in fact shallow copies of the items that were in the dataProvider that are being dragged across. So if you are dragging 3 items from a List the items data is going to be an array of those 3 items. This is where the handler function comes in. How many times have you started to drag something and then never ended up dropping it somewhere? I do it a lot. Now what if creating that new array of items from the List is computationally expensive (it is because there's a copy being made), you wouldn't want that to happen the minute the user starts dragging, right? You really only want it to happen the first time someone asks for the items. So the handler function allows us to delay the work that goes into returning that array of items, only calling the expensive operation when it's actually needed. Thus the need for a real class to do some of this dirty work. Make sense? Matt _ From: JesterXL [mailto:jeste...@...] Sent: Friday, January 21, 2005 2:22 PM To: Flexcoders Subject: [flexcoders] wtf is a DragSource Ok, this is the weirdest class I've ever used in my life. Correct me where I'm wrong; if your bored, feel free to fill in the blanks. A dragSource is a class used to hold data. This data, in effect, helps give those handlers who respond to drag events context about what's going on, and who's currently being dragged. At a low level, one can use the dragSource to stuff in referneces to those who were dragged, say a List, and then later in the drop function, grab items from that list indirectly; since your using a refernce, no need to hardcode references to objects since the dragSource has it, allowing your dropfunctions to remain dumb. am I even close? Why not just use a vanilla object like EventDispatcher?

[flexcoders] NativeDragEvents vs. DragEvents
OK, this is a real challenge. How do I handle both dragEvents and NativeDragEvents inside a list... For instance, files need to be able to dragged in and the list (doing this on the itemRenderer) also the list needs to handle the ablility to be reordered with it's own drag and drop. It seems like one competes withe the over. It seems like I am going to have to do the math and figure out which item in the list renderer is being dropped on... Any suggestion on best practices for this one, this is proving a trial and error challenge. Patrick

Re: [flexcoders] Enum in Fles
This came up on this list recently and apparently it's not a great idea: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/136096 We're using Granite DS which *does* generate a mirror ActionScript Enum type, but apparently this approach is fraught with peril (because Flash--unlike Java--won't guarantee that you have only one instance of your Enum). I've reviewed our usage, and we're not doing anything where this would hurt us, but I can easily imagine problems. E.g., if you put your Enum in an ArrayCollection and later try to find it by using getItemIndex, but you pass a different Enum instance to getItemIndex, the ArrayCollection won't find it because it uses == to compare objects, and two separate instances of the same Enum are not ==. -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -Original Message- From: sunmoorthy1 sunmoort...@yahoo.com Reply-To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Enum in Fles Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2009 21:22:47 - Hi, I am using BlazeDS for communicate Flex with java application.

[flexcoders] Reading compressed file in AS 3
I have a program that create an XML string and write it to a file using either regular file function or zlib file function to create compressed file. This is done on the server. On the client, I can read and process the uncompressed file in an AS3 application using URLLoader and URLRequest. I have problem doing the same with compressed file. The code copies the data correctly to a ByteArray but uncompress method gives Error #2058: There was an error decompressing the data. What can be wrong and what is the solution. In case it is useful, the first 16 bytes of the file in HEX are: 1F 8B 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 0B CC BC 67 AF F4 CC They match the first 16 bytes of the ByteArray. Thanks.
Re: [flexcoders] Reading compressed file in AS 3
What are the other bytes ;) ? I've run into some issues working with low-level bit-twiddling before (only on Linux, but that still may be indicative of larger problems). For example, in FP9 on Linux, sending a payload with a POST URLRequest truncates the payload data at the first 0x00 byte (!). On FP10 in Linux, that seems to have been fixed, but I'm getting a different error that I have not yet tracked down. I'm not sure if your issue is related, but I'd make sure your data makes it to the client okay before you try to decompress it.

Hi Greg,
If you change the top half of your borderSkin class to the code below,
you can use a class selector style as a styleName for a VBox

[flexcoders] Resize effect when I expand a Panel
I can't find any way to apply a resize effect when I expand a Panel inside a DividedBox. I tried using transition and applying a resize effect directly to Panel resizeEffect, but without any effective result. In some cases the behaviour is weird and I presume the cause could be that the effect doesn't work well when using percentage dimension. Here is my test code: http://www.faser.net/public/tmp/flextest/testtrans.html Anyway, do you think it's better to use transition or I can continue to try to use the Panel resizeEffect event?

Re: [flexcoders] Who have YOU used for outsourcing mid to large Flex/CF projects?
Hey, this is just my opinion and what I've learned from working for people that run small companies. I don't have direct experience - but here's what I think In my opinion $30k projects just aren't that big. They're great to maintain your business, and by all means money is money - so who wouldn't want to take them. But I'd call a $30k project small to low-mid size. Maybe its a large project for you folks, but it will most likely be a small project for a company you outsource to. At that level you probably won't see much difference in the price tag if you folks were to do it in house, or if an outsourcing firm were to do it in house. Once you get into the bigger numbers like $100-$200k, you can at least start marking yourselves up a little more because you landed the project - and still pay the outsourcing firm a decent rate. My recommendation would be to keep the project in-house, but maintain a large rolodex of contractors. $120/hour is probably normal for outsourcing because they'll most likely be hiring a project manager on top of their programmer to manage your project. If you contract a good programmer at like $60-$80 per hour, and use an in house project manager or producer, you can probably achieve the same results. Like I said.I've never run a company, so this might be bad advice - but its probably what I'd do. ben Pat Buchanan wrote: My company is where I like it - small and maintainable - just a few employees.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Reading compressed file in AS 3
I'm assuming you're using PHP based upon gzopen. From reading the zlib library documentation, you'll want to use the gzcompress function instead of gzopen to compress your string into the zlib data format (which corresponds to ByteArray's compress/uncompress methods). Note that gzopen uses a slightly different data format, gzip, which is based upon, but incompatible with zlib. This likely accounts for the slight difference in file size and your inability to decompress the file on the Flex side of things. Hope this helps, Jim ACasualObserver wrote: I create the compressed file by calling gzopen. I use wb9 for the mode. Should I used another mode?

RE: [flexcoders] How to find the actual type of a custom flex component?
The actual type of your component is MyCustomBox. Its superclass is VBox. VBox's superclass is Box. Box's superclass is Container, etc. So you're looking for your immediate superclass. Use the getQualifiedSuperclassName() function in the flash.utils package. It will give you a String like mx.containers:VBox. (It think it puts a colon in there.)

Because in the line,
return publishDate.format(dateItem[dateColumn.dataField]);
dateItem[dateColumn.dataField] is an XML object, not a string, and the

it should work, i.e.

If scaleContent is true, there is no Security Sandbox Violation log. crossdomain.xml is like this. ?xml version=1.0? cross-domain-policy site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies=master-only/ allow-access-from domain=* / /cross-domain-policy And app loads policy file on initialization like this. Security.loadPolicyFile(http://localhost/crossdomain.xml;); Cannot this Security Sandbox Violation log be avoided ? Cannot we access context data of loaded image in AIR ?? thanks Shigeru Nakagaki
[flexcoders] Re: Define repeaters at runtime
Tried this but it failed:
In Model.as
public var a_red:Array=new Array();
then later:
Model.getInstance().a_red[1].source=Model.getInstance().red_source;
where red_source is a png image.
for (var i:int=0;i64;i++)
{
Model.getInstance().a_red.push(Model.getInstance().red);
}
then:
trace(Red Image: ,Model.getInstance().red[1].source);
Error #1069: Property 1 not found on mx.controls.Image and there is no
default value.

[flexcoders] Re: Define repeaters at runtime
It works - please ignore the previous post. Wow, the ability to push components into arrays like this opens up so many possibilities - especially when working with flex frameworks. I find it strange the documentation doesn't highlight this feature - otherwise I missed it. Thanks again!

No takers on this one...Seems like a common request that would be helpful to all in this community... Or is the request very simple and I am missing something?
[flexcoders] Changing states and removing ControlBar throws an error
I have a panel which contains a form, form items, controlbar and a button. When I create a new state and remove all the items from the panel using removeChild, the error is thrown: ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. I have narrowed it down to an issue with the controlbar. If I do not use removeChild on the controlbar, simply keeping the controlbar in the new state, I do not get an error. In reality, it's fine if I leave the controlbar in the new state, however, I would like to know if it's something I am doing wrong or a bug ( looks like an issue similar to this bug http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-12188 http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-12188 ). Thanks.
