Re: [flexcoders] amfphp problem - Client.Error.DeliveryInDoubt - when trying to export image
Hi again,
Found a workaround for this problem (Source:
http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/12/07/converting-an-imagesnapshot-object-into-a-base-64-encoded-string-in-flex-3/)
Instead of encoding the ImageSnapshot to a ByteArray, it's easy to
encode the data to a Base-64 string ( ImageSnapshot.
encodeImageAsBase64(snapshot) ).
In the method of the amfphp service file handling the export, decode
the data with the base64_decode function.
This seems to solve my problem (touch wood).

[flexcoders] Launching Air application from ASP .NET

Re: [flexcoders] Launching Air application from ASP .NET

[flexcoders] flex3 DateTimeAxis time ordering
Hello,
I am creating a LineChart using a DateTimeAxis for the horizontal
axis. My xAxis is ordered incorrectly. How can this be fixed?
My yAxis are int values. My xAxis are Strings that represent a time,
which I parse into a Date objects. My time strings range from
00:00:00 to 23:55:00 in the format of (hh:mm:ss). They are in
five minute increments.
I am able to run and see the data. Good. My problem is that the chart
starts at 06:00:00 increments up to 23:55:00 then continues with
00:00:00 up to 05:55:00. Bad.
Like this:
-
06:0023:55 00:00 05:55
Among other things I have tried...
setting the LineSeries 'sortOnXField' with no visible change.
setting combinations of DateTimeAxis 'minimum' and 'maximum'
properties with no visible change.
setting DateTimeAxis 'baseAtZero' with no visible change.
Below is a sample mxml code showing my example.
I was having it connect to an HTTPService to retrieve the xml input,
but for this purpose I have modified slightly to include some sample
data. I have only been messing around with flex for a couple days and
am not adept to thing that are probably obvious with the flex language.

[flexcoders] Help on DataGrid dataProvider
Hello guys,
A newbie here.
I have this code:

[flexcoders] Creating resizable datagrid
Hi All
I'm trying to create a datagrid which will resize vertically to ensure
all the renderers are displayed in full. Additionally,
* Renderers are of variable height
* Renderers can resize themselves
Generally speaking, the flow of events is as follows :
* One of the item renderers resizes itself (normally in response to a
userclick etc)
* It dispatches a bubbling event which the parent datagrid picks up
* The DataGrid attempts to resize to ensure that all renderers remain
visible in full.
I'm currently using this code within the datagrid to calculate the
height:
height = measureHeightOfItems(0, dataProvider.length ) + headerHeight;
This appears to get an incorrect height. I've tried a number of
variations including callLater ( to ensure the resize has completed so
measure can work correctly), and overriding meausre() and calling
invalidateSize() / validateSize(), but neither works.
Below are 3 classes which will illustrate the problem. Clicking the
button in the item renderers resizes the renderer. The grid should also
expand so that all of the 3 renderers are shown in their entirety.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Marty

[flexcoders] Topic: Nesting of expandable advanced datagrids using renderer
Hi friends, I'm building a flex application, where i am creating advanced datagrid within advanced datagrid for many levels(i.e, one advanced datgrid within another, which intern has advanced datagrid within it) using renderers. In this nesting of advanced datagrids, the problem is that, the outermost datagrid expands to the size of its itemrender(inner datagrid). And if we create a one more advanced datagrid within the the inner datagrid, the outermost datagrid will not expand to the size of inner grid. The problem is with using renderer within renderer. Please give me any suggestions Thanks in Advance Gautham
[flexcoders] How to open links in new window/tab from AIR Flex HTML Component
Hi all, Been scratching my head for a while, and I hope this is pretty simple: I want to create a simple tabbed browser. 1. How do I make links clicked from within a flex HTML component page open in a *new* window in stead of the current html component. I'm comfortable spawning my own tabs/windows, but I can't seem to trap the location change event before it loads the same page. 2. How can I trap cntrl+click so that, like firefox/IE/Safari, I can open the link clicked in a new window/tab (again I can create these) in stead of reloading the same window. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks and regards.

re: [flexcoders] Credit card processing in Flex
Your CF can handle the passing to the payment gateway via web
service or custom CFC. Flex just acts an a messenger passing cc / user info to
the CFC and getting the response to show the user. Do you want to do it JUST
through Flex?
You can use
sendToURL to pass information to the gateway
via https URL and the user never sees it.

RE: [flexcoders] try, catch, finally ...
Try-Catch blocks are an absolute necessity as without them, you are putting the operation of your software into the hands of user input errors, http errors, unintended consequences as well as the myriad of things that exist outside the Happy Path. As functions/methods only give you one return object, it is common practice to throw custom errors/exceptions as they are a great mechanism for handling dynamic environments. To answer your second question about a try-catch without statements in the catch block. If this method is nested inside of another try-catch block, then an exception here will be swallowed and not be caught in the calling objects try-catch.

RE: {Disarmed} RE: [flexcoders] Credit card processing in Flex
If the browser hosting your Flex component is connected in a HTTPS
session, then yes. I'm not aware of being able to start HTTPS
communication from a HTTP session. I believe that the SSL key (session
in place) needs to be in-place before you do your submit so posting
blindly to a HTTPS URL is not necessarily secure.
Of course, the ugly solution, a popup HTML window doing HTTPS directly.
You can also encrypt yourself in Actionscript with as3crypto (Google
code) although this might violate PCI/SET standards.
In Air, you can start an HTTPS session of its own.

[flexcoders] Re: Another on try-catch-finally ...
There is a possible benefit to having a try/catch with an empty catch block -- that your application won't stop execution. If the problem that occurred in the try block does cause a subsequent problem down the road, that's a different story.

Flex can pass the cc information to a scripting language such as

offered by the various CC processing companies to complete the
transactions and pass the information back to flex to display. Or you
might be able to use URLRequest or sendToURL

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Passing params (flashvars) to sub-applications
You said, I was also able to pass a parameter in the url, and access it in the loaded app's creationComplete. That *is* using flashvars. Flashvars are passed into a swf via url parameters. The example you are quoting, which passes values from one fully instantiated application to another is not using flashvars. Maybe the title of that post is misleading, but it does say flashvar-*style*-parameters., meaning a dynamic Object. Note also that apps loaded by swfloader do behave differently than ordinary components, in this regard. Ordinary components evaluate the passed property values before creationComplete, so that those values can be used in the component setup. With a swf loaded APP, you must wait until it is complete before setting properties. Flashvars are ready by creationComplete.

[flexcoders] Selected item/index in ComboBox
I recently moved a form into a pop up window. One of the form items is a ComboBox of countries. If you are 'editing' and existing record I preselect (selectedItem) the one associated with the record already. This worked before but now since the form is being populated with countries (bindable ArrayCollection) as the form is created, the selectedItem no longer seems to select anything. Is there some event I can listen to so I know the ComboBox's selectedItem property can be set and show visually. If I run the logic for preselecting manually after the pop up is there, the item is selected. But even if I put the code in 'creationComplete' it still does not select anything visually. - Todd
[flexcoders] Creating a dynamic search interface - strategies and suggestions?
I'm experimenting with creating a dynamic search interface and am wondering about the most effective strategy to use in Flex. I'm ignorant enough about Flex that I'd guess some of my ideas won't make sense so I'm hoping to get feedback that will save me from chasing down too many dead ends. For this experiment, I'm creating an interface like the Finder's search in OS X. You start of with one search term and then can add as many as you like - each on its own 'line'. For those of you that don't know what this interface looks like, you get a series of (Drop-downs) static text and [Entry Areas] along with a (-) ad (+) button to add or remove terms. (Kind) is (Any) (-) (+) Where (Kind) can be Kind, Last opened date, Last modified data, and so on and (Any) can be Applications, Folders, Documents, PDF and so on. Depending on the choice you make - the related options change. For example: (Created date) is (within last) [ ] (days) (-) (+) The exact details aren't too important - the main thing is that: * You can add any number of 'rows'. * The type (kind) of query determines what objects appear in the row and what they contain. (The entry and drop-down contents are driven by the type.) * When you add (+) or remove (-) a row, the rest of the objects on screen move or resize automatically. This isn't the exact interace I need, but it's a good enough starting point. Once all of the entries are completed, I'd like to package them up and send them off magically somewhere for processing using an HTTP post. Key point: I'd like some of the options to be data-driven from a server. For example, the styles of comparison or the kind of searches may not be something I know until runtime. If anyone is still reading, and with all of that in mind, I'm imagining there are a few ways to build this: * Build one MXML component that has all of the various objects, presumably wrapped inside of an HBox or Canvas. -- The dynamic values (popups and so on) are assigned/modified using ActionScript. -- The objects that should be shown/hidden are configured using AS. * Build an AS class for SearchRow and pass into the constructor whatever values are needed to set defaults. * Build an AS class with a pretty nearly empty constructor and then assign the various dynamic values from the code that creates the object. Since I want to package up all of the various settings, what I need to be able to do is iterate over the 'rows' or handle them as an array of objects. Given that, I'd be grateful for suggestions on the most effective way to manage storing/return references to the objects. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Passing params (flashvars) to sub-applications
Thanks for the clarification - most helpful. When I use SWFObject in HTML, I don't append the parameters to the URL, but I guess that's happing under the hood. Next experiment: Values of Application.application and parentApplication in a multi-application application :) In my latest experiment, I have discarded the quoted code, and just have a url parameter. I am setting the SWFLoader source in a creationComplete handler rather than when the SWFLoader is instantiated. What I am seeing is that I can access the url parameter within the loaded app's completion handler using this.parameters[config_id] but not Application.application.parameters[config_id] Within the loaded application (which does derive from UIComponent), parentApplication is null. So flashvars may be ready by creationComplete, but Application.application and this.parentApplication are not. Thanks again for the explanations.

[flexcoders] Native JSON support in Flash player?
I see that JSON support in Flex is through the as3corelib ActionScript library, at the moment. Is there a plan to add native JSON encoder/decoder support to Flex and the Flash player? Presumably, a C/C++ implementation (I don't actually know what the Flash player is coded in) will be considerably faster than an AS3 implementation. Also, to prevent wasting everyone's time, if there's an official place to check on the roadmap for Flex/Flash, I'd be grateful to be pointed in the right direction. Thanks. -- David Adams

[flexcoders] Re: Selected item/index in ComboBox
Hi Todd, Sounds like a timing issue. The popup is instantiated first, then the ComboBox's dataProvider is being set. 1) Best practice would be to use a getter/setter for the ComboBox's dataProvider. In the setter, invalidateProperties(). Then in commitProperties(), run the code that sets the selectedItem. 2) If you just want to use a public var, you can listen for the ArrayCollection's collectionChange event. 3) Try using callLater() -TH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, twcrone70 twcron...@... wrote: I recently moved a form into a pop up window. One of the form items is a ComboBox of countries. If you are 'editing' and existing record I preselect (selectedItem) the one associated with the record already. This worked before but now since the form is being populated with countries (bindable ArrayCollection) as the form is created, the selectedItem no longer seems to select anything. Is there some event I can listen to so I know the ComboBox's selectedItem property can be set and show visually. If I run the logic for preselecting manually after the pop up is there, the item is selected. But even if I put the code in 'creationComplete' it still does not select anything visually. - Todd

Re: [flexcoders] Modeless editing
So your basic approach is capturing all events elsewhere in the app, and stopping them. I was thinking along the lines of a navigationmanager which knows about a current editing context, and could also be tied into deep linking support. View state (selected tab, selected child of view stack) would be derived from properties of the navigation manager. When the NM receives a nav request (via bubbling event) it would check if the current editing context was valid and not proceed with the nav. Doing all this with the help of Mate dependency injection shouldn't be too hard. At the same time, since time is limited, I wish there was a simple way to apply an event mask the way popup manager does, while still allowing resizing layout to occur. Or alternatively, grab a kind of focus for a container that the framework would try to request if the user clicked elsewhere. In other words, make a component modal in place without popping up a new window. I haven't actually studied FocusManager, so I don't know if it supports any sort of nested focus.

I seem to be having an issue. My app is a combo of Flex and AS3 (a lot of flash
classes to keep overhead low) and so I am using the TextSprite class, but when
my app scales/zooms (increase scaleX and scaleY) the TextSprite instance gets
blurry. Is there a way to fix this? Here is my code.
var t:TextSprite = new TextSprite('edge ' + ESprite(e.target).data.id);
t.x= e.localX + 3;
t.y= e.localY - 15;
t.name = myLabel;
t.textField.setTextFormat(new TextFormat(Arial, 11,
0x474747))
t.scaleX = _stageMediator.visual.scaleX * 1.5;
var es1:ESprite = e.target as ESprite;
es1.addChild(t);
As always, TIA

Re: [flexcoders] Re: try, catch, finally ...
I thought Alex said before that exceptions don't appear for users running the standard Flash Player (i.e. not the debug one). Hence the user won't even know something went wrong; rather the app will probably just enter some unknown/unusable state and effectively freeze. There are cases for using try-catch when there is no other option. But when there are, e.g. testing the type of a variable before casting it or using a fault handler, try-catch should not be used. That could make the code a bit convoluted though, so in cases where errors can occur at many points (e.g. processing data files from an external server) a try-catch may be preferable, not only for code style, but also because you are unlikely to be able to pre-empt and mitigate all the errors that might occur. 2009/3/5 Weyert de Boer w...@innerfuse.biz: I respectfully disagree with not handling exceptions and let them raised in the player.

Re: [flexcoders] Modeless editing
What i am doing at the moment sounds much like you are describing. My app contains several window like components. Each one has an expand button. On click a bubbling 'expand' event is dispatched. This in turn is caught in the main app and processed in a 'expander' function. This checks for any editable flag and expands the component that request so or cancels the event if a user decides that he needs to save first.

I was thinking along the lines of a navigationmanager which knows about a current editing context, and could also be tied into deep linking support. View state (selected tab, selected child of view stack) would be derived from properties of the navigation manager. When the NM receives a nav request (via bubbling event) it would check if the current editing context was valid and not proceed with the nav. Doing all this with the help of Mate dependency injection shouldn't be too hard. At the same time, since time is limited, I wish there was a simple way to apply an event mask the way popup manager does, while still allowing resizing layout to occur. Or alternatively, grab a kind of focus for a container that the framework would try to request if the user clicked elsewhere. In other words, make a component modal in place without popping up a new window. I haven't actually studied FocusManager, so I don't know if it supports any sort of nested focus.

Flex will find the attributes but not the child nodes.

Thanks a lot. I followed your recommendation and it worked.
I though that flex automatically fetched the field names from the xml as in the
case of default resultFormat i.e. object.
I guess for e4x, the dataGridColums must be explicitly specified.
Thanks again.

private function handleXML(event:ResultEvent):void{
bookInfo=event.result.stock as XMLList;
Alert.show(xmlBooks.toString());
Alert.show(bookInfo);
}

[flexcoders] Re: Launching Air application from ASP .NET
The app is already written in Flex and I need to reuse it. I do not want to duplicate the code in ASP .NET. To answer your first question, I want to write the file to the local disk (wherever the ASP .NET app is running).

If you are writing to local storage, it would be in a different location than what you would expect if you are running the app as yourself. Where are you writing to? Can I ask why you are doing this?
