[flexcoders] Signed RSL penetration
Does anyone have stats on how the various signed RSLs are going in terms of their prevalence in the flash player cache? I'd love to use them, but it's a bit of a risk...compiled in, my app is under 1Mb. Splitting the framework RSL from it makes my app 300+kB smaller, but will require the user to download 500+kB of framework RSL. Maybe it's worth doing if 50%+ of users will get the benefit, but if only 10% will benefit it seems unlikely to be a way to increase the general happiness. Some good stats on this would be very useful... Guy This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

[flexcoders] Flex Windows Not Loading Bug
Please help me fix a windowing integration bug in our Adobe Flex application. I'd love some free advice, but we really need the problem solved so we've also posted the question on rent-a-coder. All of our Flex windows (Application/Canvas/Panel/TitleWindow/etc) work fine individually when running in a browser (Firefox and Internet Explorer). Now we are trying to integrate all of the Windows together (less than 100 in all) and we are observing some pretty bizarre behavior - sometimes a window will load and other times the same window will not load. But the problem is not intermittent - it happens very often and we can usually force a window failure on demand. When the window does not load we observe the CPU usage in Task Manager hitting the maximum, and we believe that the Flex Application has fallen into an endless race condition in which it is constantly resizing the components within the window (we randomly pause the application and usually find the stack doing something like this). When this happens the window's creationComplete event doesn't trigger and we cannot insert a breakpoint. We make heavy use of constraintRows and constraintColumns and we are suspicious of them. We use a lot of Accordion's as well as the custom HAccordion from Flexlib, but we've had trouble positively identifying them as the culprit. Each window can get pretty buried in a deep hierarchy of windows, but it is not always the deepest windows that will fail to load. We've also implemented a suspicious custom component early on to handle system-wide ToolTips. It is old code and does some funky things, but when we commented it out the behavior didn't dramatically improve. Our testing has been limited to the Debugger Flash Player, but we've tried both debug and release versions of the application. I've combed Flexcoders and I've not come across anything like it. I'd love to hear your ideas?!

[flexcoders] CakePHP+CakeAMFPHP vs WebORB dialema
Hello, With reference to our topic few days ago and responses there on we are converging on PHP as server side technology. Within that we shortlisted two options 1 CakePHP + CakeAMFPHP - Adapter classes to make AMFPHP work seamlessly with CakePHP. This way, you can leverage your productivity by using CakePHP features on the server side to build your application server and use CakeAMFPHP to send data back and forth Flash/CakePHP. You can also have a HTML version of your Flash app without headeaches. 2 WebORB - WebORB for PHP is server-side technology enabling connectivity between Flex and Flash Remoting clients and PHP applications. WebORB for PHP can be installed into any PHP5 application to expose PHP classes as remote services. The product provides a complete implementation of the Adobe's AMF0 and AMF3 messaging protocols and thus supports any Flash Remoting or Flex client. What we need a fast performing, easy to understand and code and easily maintainable data abstraction layer. We are prefering to ability to change backend database to one of Firebird, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle and MS-SQL. Similarly ability to embed business logic in that layer. So whatever study we had done so far we are tilting towards CakePHP but WebORB is also equally competing. We are not able to make up or Mind so can somebody guide us on this ? Thanks and Best regards Raja
[flexcoders] Multi Language Support
Dear Friends, How to achieve Multi Language support in flex. When I say multi language , it is not about labels. It about data entry. Entering the data eg: in arabic and seeing the information in arabic. And also arabic means, the navigation or flow is opposite to english ie right to left. Flex 3 supports these features? If so kindly let us know the steps involved in it. Regards, Srini.

[flexcoders] Dereferencing an array in ActionScript
I would like to call RemoteObject operations in a generic way.So I have a function that takes an Operation arguments and the arguments to send in an array: public function run(action:Operation,arguments:Array,resultHandler:Function,faultHandler:Function = null):void{ action.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, resultHandler); if(faultHandler != null){ action.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, faultHandler); } action.send(arguments); } Now the problem is that Operation.send() takes only a rest array parameter. So if I call my run function for arguments=null or arguments=[], send() sees it as one parameter anyway and my call doesn't go through. Is there a way to dereference an array in ActionScript like it's possible in Python for example? Is it possible to call Operation.send() without knowing arguments at compile-time?

I'd love some free advice, but we really need the problem solved so we've also posted the question on rent-a-coder. All of our Flex windows (Application/Canvas/Panel/TitleWindow/etc) work fine individually when running in a browser (Firefox and Internet Explorer). Now we are trying to integrate all of the Windows together (less than 100 in all) and we are observing some pretty bizarre behavior - sometimes a window will load and other times the same window will not load. But the problem is not intermittent - it happens very often and we can usually force a window failure on demand. When the window does not load we observe the CPU usage in Task Manager hitting the maximum, and we believe that the Flex Application has fallen into an endless race condition in which it is constantly resizing the components within the window (we randomly pause the application and usually find the stack doing something like this). When this happens the window's creationComplete event doesn't trigger and we cannot insert a breakpoint. We make heavy use of constraintRows and constraintColumns and we are suspicious of them. We use a lot of Accordion's as well as the custom HAccordion from Flexlib, but we've had trouble positively identifying them as the culprit. Each window can get pretty buried in a deep hierarchy of windows, but it is not always the deepest windows that will fail to load. We've also implemented a suspicious custom component early on to handle system-wide ToolTips. It is old code and does some funky things, but when we commented it out the behavior didn't dramatically improve. Our testing has been limited to the Debugger Flash Player, but we've tried both debug and release versions of the application. I've combed Flexcoders and I've not come across anything like it. I'd love to hear your ideas?!
Re: [flexcoders] CakePHP+CakeAMFPHP vs WebORB dialema
If you have SLA's in terms of maintenance and production response with your customers you may want to partner with the party that can also offer that contractural level of service to you.

With that said you may also want to look at Zend before you make a final decision. brad On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 6:30 AM, raja_s_patil kpr.rspa...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, With reference to our topic few days ago and responses there on we are converging on PHP as server side technology. Within that we shortlisted two options 1 CakePHP + CakeAMFPHP - Adapter classes to make AMFPHP work seamlessly with CakePHP. This way, you can leverage your productivity by using CakePHP features on the server side to build your application server and use CakeAMFPHP to send data back and forth Flash/CakePHP. You can also have a HTML version of your Flash app without headeaches. 2 WebORB - WebORB for PHP is server-side technology enabling connectivity between Flex and Flash Remoting clients and PHP applications. WebORB for PHP can be installed into any PHP5 application to expose PHP classes as remote services. The product provides a complete implementation of the Adobe's AMF0 and AMF3 messaging protocols and thus supports any Flash Remoting or Flex client. What we need a fast performing, easy to understand and code and easily maintainable data abstraction layer. We are prefering to ability to change backend database to one of Firebird, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle and MS-SQL. Similarly ability to embed business logic in that layer. So whatever study we had done so far we are tilting towards CakePHP but WebORB is also equally competing. We are not able to make up or Mind so can somebody guide us on this ?

Yes, as Greg says. Further, this line is not establishing a binding: story.text = newz.currentItem.story It is a simple assignment. Also, currentItem only exists when the renderer is executing, and not when you are attempting to make the assignment.

[flexcoders] Violated by Sandbox
So I just got violated by the Sandbox Violation #2148 Error. I'm trying to deploy my first flex app. I have an xml file used as a chart pod list. Each pod element has it's own web service url. It's the same url with a different chartID passed to get different data. Anyway, I've been debugging the application with the pods.xml file being loaded via HTTPService in src/pods.xml. The chart HTTPService calls were just to xml files as well for testing. I have the web service on the production server. I changed the pods.xml path from src/pods.xml to http://myProductionServer/site/pods.xml and I changed the individual chart urls in pods.xml to point to my .NET web service. I get the Sandbox Violation error on the server and even when I change everything back and debug. I have a crossdomain file with the * wildcard for the domain on the server. It's in my Inetpub/wwwroot folder. I have not changed any compiler settings. What's the best way to manage local to server deployments, and why do I still get the error locally since I changed everything back? Thanks, Jason

Re: [flexcoders] Signed RSL penetration
Yes, I know how it works...my point is that it's hard to sell to my current clients if for most it's going to translate into a bigger download for first time users. This is why stats as to how many users are likely to already have the different versions of the RSLs would be handy. I realise this is probably strategically sensitive for Adobe as they want to encourage use of RSLs as it improves the Flex download size story longer term. Someone made the suggestion somewhere that when users upgrade or install the player, Adobe ought to download and install all the current RSLs as well. That seems a very sensible idea to me. Even if they were a separate download available at the time (or available as a Flash player professional version) it would be better than forcing developers distributing apps to do it. We have app size as an imperative that we have to work with. Guy On 22/04/2009, at 4:19 AM, Steve Mathews wrote: It would only be bigger the first download (assuming the user has 9.0.115.0 or later).

[flexcoders] FileStream.truncate() doesnt work after calling FileStream.readUTFBytes()
Hi, I'm trying to read an xml file into memory, add a node, then write over the original file. The following code works just fine (it clears the file, then writes the new bytes over the top): var stream:FileStream = new FileStream(); stream.open(file, FileMode.UPDATE); stream.position = 0; stream.truncate(); stream.writeUTFBytes(?xml version=\1.0\ encoding=\UTF-8\?); stream.writeUTFBytes(File.lineEnding); stream.writeUTFBytes(xml.toXMLString()); stream.close(); However, if I attempt to perform a read after the file has opened, the position / truncate calls don't work: var stream:FileStream = new FileStream(); stream.open(file, FileMode.UPDATE); var xml:XML = XML(stream.readUTFBytes(stream.bytesAvailable)); // Modify xml here stream.position = 0; stream.truncate(); stream.writeUTFBytes(?xml version=\1.0\ encoding=\UTF-8\?); stream.writeUTFBytes(File.lineEnding); stream.writeUTFBytes(xml.toXMLString()); stream.close(); Does anyone have any ideas why this doesn't work? If you examine the stream, in the first code, after the call to truncate(), the bytesAvailable property will read 0. But in the second code, the bytesAvailable won't change (it will show the current file size). Any ideas? Mark

Thanks Steve, Actually, WebORB includes a lot of examples including CRUD.

Click on the Examples tab and then click on the tree dropdowns - there are a lot of examples. Unfortunately We could not makeout where to extract the zip file we have downloaded, i.e. installing webORB. The hint in this post has given us clue that it should be Document Root of apache or a alias should be defined in apache to extracted directory in Apache, Am I right ? we will try this. The webORB getting started page do not explain it clearly to beginners like me. Also, I have posted a couple of examples myself. Check out these threads... http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/126803 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/119962 There are others - I just can't find them.

[flexcoders] Re: CakePHP+CakeAMFPHP vs WebORB dialema
Thanks Brad Bueche, If you have SLA's in terms of maintenance and production response with your customers you may want to partner with the party that can also offer that contractural level of service to you. (My experience with the webOrb team is that they are very responsive). With that said you may also want to look at Zend before you make a final decision. Well we going to have a pilot application, so we will evaluate Zend also in due course of time depending upon experience we have. If it serves purpose better then we can adopt it in actual development. Thanks and best regards. Raja

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Accessibility stopped working
I have previously done a full clean and rebuild, and it made no difference. The link report from a month ago shows the accessibility classes were being included at that time. I just did a clean and build and generated a link report...it has entries like this: script name=/Applications/Adobe Flex Builder 3/sdks/3.1.0/ frameworks/libs/framework.swc(mx/accessibility/AccImpl) mod=1214927782165 size=3103 optimizedsize=1768 def id=mx.accessibility:AccImpl / pre id=flash.accessibility:AccessibilityImplementation / dep id=mx.core:mx_internal / dep id=flash.accessibility:AccessibilityProperties / dep id=mx.accessibility:UIComponentAccImpl / dep id=mx.core:UIComponent / dep id=flash.events:Event / dep id=AS3 / dep id=flash.accessibility:Accessibility / /script But still, no accessibility appears in the actual binary. If I turn it off in the compiler, the link report doesn't have these entries, so it's clearly *trying* to include the accessibility features. They just aren't working. This is very frustrating.

[flexcoders] Perennial problem with Flex -- single element vs multi-element
For those of you who have been using Flex since 1.5, do you remember how Flex always had a problem returning single-element arrays as a non-array object, and how we had to apply mx.utils.ArrayUtils to force it to become a one-element array? It seems like Flex 3.0 still has the same problem. If the XML I am getting from the server looks like this: root node / node / root that is, a root tag with more than one child node, event.result.root.node will be of type ArrayCollection. But if the XML is like this: root node / /root where there is only one child tag, event.result.root.node becomes of type mx.utils.ObjectProxy. This is causing my application to bomb because I'm automatically storing the results in an ArrayCollection. Has anyone had this problem before? Any suggestions on how to handle this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Accessibility stopped working
I'm developing on a mac. I tired restarting the computer anyway. :-) How would I set a breakpoint in the accessibility classes?

RE: [flexcoders] Re:How do I detect 'enter' key on a textInput control?
A TextInput control dispatches an enter event when you press the Enter key. Gordon Smith Adobe Flex SDK Team From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Pilby Sent: Monday, April 20, 2009 8:55 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re:How do I detect 'enter' key on a textInput control? Here is one way to do it. Let's say this is your mxml: mx:TextInput id=txt width=200 keyDown=txtKeyDownHandler(event)/ Then your keydown handler would be: // Waiting for return key private function txtKeyDownHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void { if (event.keyCode == 13) { // do something } }
Re: [flexcoders] Perennial problem with Flex -- single element vs multi-element
Or build an XSD. Without it, how on earth is Flex's built-in decoder going to know that sometimes there's many node/ elements, but right now there's not? -Josj 2009/4/22 Tracy Spratt tr...@nts3rd.com Set resultFormat=”e4x”, and do not depend on the built in decoder. Loop over the XML list and build you own ArrayCollection. Or use ArrayUtil.toArray(), Or inspect the result and handle it conditionally.

It seems like Flex 3.0 still has the same problem. If the XML I am getting from the server looks like this: root node / node / root that is, a root tag with more than one child node, event.result.root.node will be of type ArrayCollection. But if the XML is like this: root node / /root where there is only one child tag, event.result.root.node becomes of type mx.utils.ObjectProxy. This is causing my application to bomb because I'm automatically storing the results in an ArrayCollection. Has anyone had this problem before? Any suggestions on how to handle this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.

Re: [flexcoders] Expiration date
A very quick and dirty way would be to just save the first date it is launched (to a text file or better yet to a db) then check it on startup. Once time runs out just tell the user and exit. Of course the user could uninstall/reinstall to get around this, so it isn't a fool-proof solution.
