[flexcoders] Re: Advanced Data Grid - A working Demo for LockedRowCount property needed
Thank you,
I hadn't look there but that explains..very clearly. I can see the logical
difficulty to define this property while with hierarchical data.
Anyway you helped me very much out of this.
And I have to express my thanks to all the contributors of this great forum of
dedicated Flex developers for all the help they offer.
Thanks all

Is it that AdvancedDataGrid doesn't support this property if displaying

normal DataGrid).
Is this really so?
(I couldn't find any documented limitations as to the application of this
particular property)

RE: [flexcoders] Profiler telling lies?
Yeah, ok some clarification (rather than bashing the email out then
going home for the night ;) )
I'm debugging and watching the numChildren properties and the
selectedChild properties. (The object extends viewstack btw).
I can see the view in the viewstack, then after running though the code
that removes the child from the viewstack, I can see the numChildren has
dropped from 1 to 0, and the selectedChild (and selectedIndex) both are
consistent with having no child in the viewstack.
In terms of profiling... I am starting up the app, getting the view
created, and running the code once to clean up.
Then I take a memory snapshot.
I do the same action another two times (to get to the prime).
Then I take another snapshot.
Then I work out the loitering objects.
The line with the instance being the viewstack object and the property
being [child0] is what makes me think it still has a reference to the
view and the reason (or one of them ;) )why it isn't being garbage
collected...
And Alex, I think I've read everything on your blog at least 8 times ;)

First, make sure you are using the right view. If you are looking at
loitering objects but your scenario should not be using that view, you
will get false positives. I've explained why on my blog.
If you're looking at a memory snapshot, I would dig further as I haven't
seen the profiler 'lie' in this situation yet. Remember that Flex
containers are IRawChildrenContainers. There is no children array,
and numChildren does not count borders and other chrome.

[flexcoders] Toggling borderSkin style
Hi,
I have an HBox with a borderSkin property set to a Class I found that draws
dashed borders.
var imageContainer:HBox = new HBox();
imageContainer.setStyle('borderSkin',com.skins.DashedBorder);
When you click on/off the skin I want to toggle the borderSkin property, i.e.
remove the dashed lines and make it look selected/unselected, i.e.
if(container.name != _selectedImage.name){
container.setStyle('borderStyle',null);
container.setStyle('borderThickness',null);
container.setStyle('borderSkin',null);
}else{
_selectedImage.setStyle('borderStyle','solid');
_selectedImage.setStyle('borderThickness', '2');
_selectedImage.setStyle('borderSkin', com.skins.DashedBorder);
}
That doesn't work. It draws the borderSkin just fine when I first instantiate
the HBox, but when I start toggling it's gone.
However, it works fine if I'm just using a borderColor and not a skin, a la:
if(container.name != _selectedImage.name){
container.setStyle('borderStyle',null);
container.setStyle('borderThickness',null);
container.setStyle('borderColor',null);
}else{
_selectedImage.setStyle('borderStyle','solid');
_selectedImage.setStyle('borderThickness', '2');
_selectedImage.setStyle('borderColor', 'green');
}
SoI guess you can't toggle borderSkin property...is that right?
Thanks for any tips.

[flexcoders] Re: Toggling borderSkin style
SOLVED:
The solution is instead of nulling out the borderSkin style, set it to a
Borderless skin, i.e.
package com.skins
{
import mx.core.UIComponent;
public class BorderlessSkin extends UIComponent
{
public function BorderlessSkin()
{
super();
}
override protected function
updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void{
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth,unscaledHeight);
}
}
}
Hope that helps someone.

[flexcoders] Using SerializationFilter

Re: [flexcoders] for better performance, use as rather than just leaving an object as Object?
Thanks for the input, Alex. True, it did take a lot of iterations to get a one second difference, but that's with only one reference to a property. If I had something like: o.foo.bar[3].baz = o.foo.getBaz(), I've suddenly quintupled the number of FindProperty calls. Ditto if I had a few lines of calls, all working off of o. But mainly I agree that you have to consider whether a given optimization is worth it if the code doesn't actually need optimizing and the optimization will make the code harder to understand and maintain. That's why this is such a good tip, since I wanted to use as anyway to make the code more maintainable! Good point about SWF/RAM size, though. You finally got me to bother setting up some RSS subscriptions in thunderbird. I always mean to read the various excellent Flex blogs, but never get around to it. Maybe this way I'll be more likely to get those useful nuggets of knowledge. I'm already looking forward to implementing some of your tips on itemRenderers (especially the image centering ones) to try to speed up a particularly painful ADG redraw. On Tue, May 5, 2009 at 12:24 AM, Alex Harui aha...@adobe.com wrote: I published similar results on my blog a few years back. The reason it is slower is that there are more byte codes involved and those byte codes take more time. The more you know, and the more information you have handy, the less work there is to do and we can make more assumptions. For “b.id”, the byte code is more or less: Push “id” Push “b” GetProperty For “(b as button).id”, the byte code is roughly: Push “id” Push b Push button Coerce GetProperty For “o.id”, the byte code is roughly: Push “id” Push “o” FindProperty and FindProperty is much slower. Note that it takes 1000 accesses to feel a 1 second difference. There’s more byte code involved in using “as” so if you did it everywhere your SWF will be larger and take up more memory at runtime and could offset those gains. However, if you’ve got the time, it might be worth doing from a code maintenance standpoint as the compiler will help you find misspellings and what not.

I was curious as to the difference between a few different ways of approaching the situation of an itemRenderer having a data property and deciding whether or not to use as to make all the type checking happy. So I tried some test code and found that it made a big difference whether you use as or just leave the data property as an Object. If you leave it as an Object, you get a performance hit on the order of 40%+ longer than if you use as to cast it first. Here are the ways I tested it. I just decided to pull the id property because it's something that is just a simple access of a private variable, no complicated stuff. var b:Button = new Button; var o:Object = b; var s:String; s = b.id; s = (o as Button).id; s = Button(o).id; s = UIComponent(o).id; s = (o as UIComponent).id; s = o.id; I did get a bit fancy and put them in a loop and a timer to isolate each one. The full code is included below. What I found was along the lines of this (give or take a few %): Button: 3.16 Button(): 4.06 129% as Button: 4.14 131% UIComponent(): 3.98 126% as UIComponent: 4.03 128% Object: 5.38 170% I put in the UIComponent ones because sometimes I cast it to a superclass because I might get several different subclasses passed into a function. So what I've found is that if you ignore than noise, the middle four methods are also approximately the same in timings. But the Object one is far worse. This probably won't come as any surprise to the Adobe folks or the people who have been working with Flex a bit more in-depth. I found it rather useful information, though, considering I'm trying to shave off some time in various places in one of my apps. Granted, it won't matter as much outside of loops. So many things return the items as objects, such as Arrays/ArrayCollection, the data property of item renderers, etc. I think I'm just going to make it a habit to put as in my code (and not the format of Class(variable) because sometimes that triggers a function rather than just doing a casting) all the time. It helps catch errors by doing strict type checking (as long as you aren't using dynamic classes) and it's a little faster to boot. Still, I wish it was as fast as the top line where you don't have to do any casting/as at all. Any thoughts on that or anything else I've missed? Any flash

--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Jon Oxtoby j...@... wrote: We're using FMS 3.0, unfortunately the downloading software we're attempting to block (Jaksta) can handle an rtmpe stream no problem. We have the SWF verification enabled and that prevents the software from opening a new stream, but it's still able to record the stream as it plays in the video player. Our thought was that if we can apply some sort of non-standard encryption to the FLV file and then decrypt it prior to being played in the video player, that the recorded version would still be the encrypted one and the downloaded file would not play. We'll continue to look into this and if we happen upon a reasonable solution I'll post it back. What if you use something like afterEffects to embed an image on top of the middle of the video with a blendmode that inverts on the image colors, then simply overlay that same image in your player with the reverse blendmode. They can record all they want, but if they don't have the image to invert the middle of the video, they'll have a crap copy with a middle that doesn't make any sense.
[flexcoders] NativeDragManager and nested components
The DragManagerImpl and NativeDragManagerImpl behaviours are so different that it drives me nut! I have a Flex component that is embedded in a Flex and AIR app. So, I used the IDragManager interface to access the methods and used the standard events. Unfortunately, I can't get a consistent behaviour across both platforms. One of my biggest problem is that in AIR, if a parent UIComponent accepted the drag, a child cannot cancel it through the standard IDragManager interface. I have a container that can accept or refuse a drag operation and I have children of the container that can do the same. So, when I move the mouse over the container, if it accepts the drag and that I move the mouse over a children and that the children cannot accept the drag, I simply cannot get the no drag icon over the child. I could possibly try to use the NativeDragEvents to do the trick but since I want my component to be cross platform, I cannot use AIR only classes. I'm starting to think that Adobe didn't think about this use case when designing both drag managers. Anyone has an idea or overcame this issue? Thanks! Yves

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Run swf on server
In my case it was an offline process so it didn't need to communicate back to the client. It's probably best not to treat it as server call that expects a reply. If there are a bunch of simultaneous requests, it's likely that the AIR app might get backlogged. You could have the client pole the server to see if the image is ready, but let the user continue using the site while the image is being generated.

(2) the server-side script calls a second swf located on the same server as the script, passing it the numeric data. (3) this swf uses the data to generate a layout in flash that is rendered to an image and either (a) returned directly as binary data to the server-side script or (b) saved locally on the server so that the server-side script can access it. It's steps 2 and 3 that have me stumped. How can I call a swf without a browser, and by extension, without the Flash Player? Is there some way to call a swf directly as an executable that can return output to the calling process? Thanks much! LT

RE: [flexcoders] Popup window close button fails
It is not automatic. The button just dispatches the close event. You need to define a close event handler. And in that do PopUpmanager.removePopUp(this). Though more often, I just dispatch a custom named event, and have in a listener/handler in the component that created the popup, and in that handler, I get what data I need from the popup on close, like status(ok, cancel) and value if any, then call PopUpmanager.removePopUp(event.target).

Re: [flexcoders] Popup window close button fails
Hi Tracy, Thanks for the explanation. I knew the close event was fired. But I guess I thought the default close event also called the PopUpManager. Maybe it's me, but I think the Lang Ref could be a little clearer about this. Thanks for straightening me out, anyway. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560
RE: [flexcoders] Viewstack page activation
The first level child will dispatch the show and hide events when you expect. If you want the action to happen the first time the view is shown, you need to also invoke it in creationComplete.

I'd like to refresh certain widgets on each page every time the page appears, but the activate event only fires when the whole application gets the focus back from the operating system, and that event doesn't fire when switching pages in the viewstack. I haven't found any other events that might pertain to this situation. FWIW, each child of the viewstack is a separate component, and I use an Accordion full of labeled HBox'es to switch the viewstack pages via: click=viewstack.selectedIndex=accordion.selectedIndex I could manually call something on the click event, but I was hoping for something more event-driven/implicit.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Dispatching Events from SWC - via Class`
The class does not appear to be a UI class, so why can't you instantiate it
where you need it and set a direct listener on it?
Also, if it is going to dispatch an event it needs to extend
EventDispatcher, I believe.

Re: [flexcoders] Server PUSH in LCDS
If you can run Java code at the time the database changes, you can use the DataServiceTransaction api. It has methods to refresh queries, or push specific create, update, delete changes to the client. There is a refresh operation which you can run from the client. That will only pick up db changes though if you have cache-items disabled.

And also update/save data using Spring beans. Spring beans(DAOs) has the hibernate code (mappings) to fetch/update database. Now, one outside process is updating the database directly i.e., without involving Flex/Spring/Hibernate. Whenver that happens, UI needs to get the latest data from server.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: TabNavigator creationPolicy
Hmm. This seems a little wrong-side-of-the-bed. Actually, when you do: TabNavigator View1 View2 /TabNavigator View1 and View2 are instantiated (obviously necessary to get the labels), but the *children* of the inactive tabs are not, and as a result the creationComplete events of the inactive tabs are not fired. Makes perfect sense if you understand creationComplete to mean me and all my children. On the other hand, if the above MXML is placed in an AddChild of a state, View1 and View2 are both *fully* instantiated, and their creationComplete events fired. This has implications if you are triggering service calls on creationComplete. This is hardly equivalent to what you wrote. Try it if you don't believe me.

[flexcoders] McAfee slowdown of the application load
We are experience some strange behavior on the Windows Machine with McAfee Security Suite installed. Here is the description of behavior: We launch the Flex App in IE and there is a lap between the page is loaded and app starts initialization. During that time user sees white screen. If we launch the same app in the same browser , for example in the next new tab, that lap is increasing, almost like +1 or +2 seconds per tab. If t all McAfee services shutdown then that behavior goes away. This behavior is also not present in Firefox. The app itself uses Charts, and AMF components with Blaze DS and is done by using Flex SDK 3 or Flex Builder 3. But I think it is irrelevant to the problem. The behavior is also consistent whether the app compiled with or without RSLs. Has anybody experienced such an issue?

Re: [flexcoders] McAfee slowdown of the application load
It would probably have to do with the McAfee IE addon, site advisor I believe? Basically it checks every link to see if they are malicious, among other things.

Re: [flexcoders] VBox that scrolls without a scrollbar
Charles As Alex said, you have to write your own VBox Class to update the scroll position. And other thing to keep in mind is that the default mouse wheel behavior in Mac OS doesn`t work correctly, look at google for a replacement for that. Hope you enjoy!

The problem is, if I set the verticalScrollPolicy = off then the VBox does not scroll at all. How can I visually turn off the scrollbar and keep the ability to scroll?

[flexcoders] Re: TileList dataprovider change bug?
--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Ritu Raj Tiwari rituraj.tiw...@... wrote: I am seeing some strange behaviour with TileList. I am hoping someone can shed some light on this: I have a TileList where I assign it an ArrayCollection for its dataProvider. As I add objects to this collection, the tile list updates faithfully. The problem happens when I switch the dataProvider to a new one. I start with an empty array collection and sure enough, the tile list is empty. When I add the first item to the new dataProvider, I see the last item from the previous dataProvider as the first entry in the list. As I add more items, I see more items from the previous data provider. Has someone else encountered this? It is definitely a bug, I am wondering if there is an easy workaround, like, say, creating my own TileList subclass that clears the right thing? http://www.magnoliamultimedia.com/flex_examples/Amys_Flex_FAQ.pdf Q2
[flexcoders] Read pdf file
Hi all. I see that AIR can access pdf file and display it by htmlloader. But to manipulate with it, firstly I need to write javascript function and add to each pdf file like http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/quickstart/scripting_pdf.html What I want is manipulate with random pdf file and do some action (copy all text to clipboard, or convert pdf file to text file). The reason is I want to read information from pdf file then get important data. So how to write external javascript which can do it and don't need write any added javascript on pdf file. Thank advanced any help Hai Anh
[flexcoders] Tracking a sprite's position
Hey flexers, I have Sprite C which is inside of Sprite B which is inside of Sprite A which is inside of UIComponent A. UIComponent A and UIComponent B are both children of a common Canvas. I need UIComponentB to always be positioned over the top-left of Sprite C (so it appears to be stuck to Sprite C). ALWAYS. So if Sprite C is scaled or moved, if Sprite B is scaled or moved, if Sprite A is scaled or moved, if UIComponent A is scaled or moved or ANYTHING happens that would affect Sprite C's position, I need UIComponent B to always follow its position. Is there a good way to do this? My first thought is to poll SpriteC's coordinates on every enterFrame event, but it seems like it might be overkill. Thoughts? Thanks! Aaron
[flexcoders] How to do a function/method in a Tree for the label
Hello all, I am having some troubles with the tree control and an array
collection. I have this tree and the data provider is pointing to an array
collection. This is working great, I now have to create a label function for
the labelField. So this is what I did:
public function TreeNodeLabel(obj:Object):String
{
return obj.name;
}
Here is my MXML code:
mx:Tree x=510 y=271 dataProvider={this._ac}
labelField={this.TreeNodeLabel()}/mx:Tree
What am I supposed to use as the argument in the mxml code for the
this.TreeNodeLabel() ?
Thanks,
timgerr
Re: [flexcoders] Books - Flex
Hi Gustavo, well, that highly depends on what are your immediate needs for this knowledge and how much time you have. Others here will advise you to simply look for internet tutorials, which are indeed great and enough. But I just like to buy and read books :) Right after I found out that I would need to learn flex, first book I read was Learning Flex 3 http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596517328/, in my opinion it's the best book for absolute beginners, covers all the important fundaments. I read it within a week, and soon after I was able to do some tinkering in some projects at my job. After this, I've read AdvancED Flex 3http://www.friendsofed.com/book.html?isbn=9781430210276, also a very good one in my opinion. From then on I pretty much stood with internet resources. Specially in light of the fact that there's no books on BlazeDS, red5, especific frameworks, or many other technologies you may need to use. Att, Leonardo 2009/5/6 axcdnt axc...@gmail.com Hi people, My name's Gustavo and I'm new on Flex. I'd like to know your opinion about good books I can buy. Thank you!
