there'd be a similar method for BitmapData. Of course, if you're not

Subject: [flexcoders] Bitmap downsampling
Hi,
I'm having a lot of trouble with down-sampling a bitmapData.
I tried the smoothing option first
public function produceResizedBitmapData(image:DisplayObject,
transform:Matrix):BitmapData
{
var temp:BitmapData = new BitmapData(image.width, image.height, true,
0x00FF);
temp.draw(image);
var clone:BitmapData = new BitmapData(image.width*transform.a,
image.height*transform.d, true, 0x00FF);
clone.draw(temp, transform, null, null, null, true);
temp.dispose();
return clone;
}
except the quality was poor, once the image was of a certain size.
For example scaling a 2500px image down to 200px.
I've tried using clevrLib plus a pixelBender bilinear sampler but no go.
I've noticed it works in picnik so it must be possible.
Can anyone push me in the right direction.

[flexcoders] Embedding programmatic skins in CSS and compiling to SWF
I am experimenting with using external CSS files compiled as SWF. However, I have a problem. My css files use programmatic skins, and FlexBuilder cannot resolve the class references. So if I have border-skin: ClassReference(com.border.SimpleGradientBorder); it will choke when trying to build the swf because it doesn't know how to find it. Obviously this works fine when compiled into the application, since my project properties resolves the above path. Is there a way to embed the above class, and if so what is the syntax? aK See the Web#39;s breaking stories, chosen by people like you. Check out Yahoo! Buzz. http://in.buzz.yahoo.com/

Re: [flexcoders] ArrayCollection Does Not Show Items In Order When Passed to .NET WebService
How is it being parsed in .NET? You can parse it into a hashtable, or
better yet, use a pre-defined object.
Not sure why the order is different, but it is probably fragile to
rely on the order in this case.
2009/7/2 Angelo Anolin angelo_ano...@yahoo.com:
Hi FlexCoders,
I have an array collection which I am populating as follows:
var oTemp:Object;
var xl:XMLList = _xmlData.children();
var i:int;
for(i = 0; i xl.length(); i++)
{
oTemp = {ID_TAG:xl[i].ID.text(), CAT_TAG:xl[i].CAT.text(),
DET_TAG:xl[i].DET.text(), REP_DATE_TAG:xl[i].REP_DATE.text(),
IND_TAG:xl[i].IND.text()};
arrDP.addItem(oTemp);
}
Now, when I pass back this Array Collection back into a web service, the
fields are not in order as I have added them into the array collection.
I am expecting that in my Web Service, when I parse this arraycollection
(via arraylist), I would be getting the same order of columns as I have
added them, i.e. the first array in the array list would have element 0 to
be the value I placed in the ID.
Since the arraylist does not have the field tag (represented by ID_TAG,
DET_TAG, CAT_TAG, etc..), it becomes a trial and error (hit and miss) on my
part since I can only reference the value via the index on the array.
Now, how would I be able to include the tags inside array collection such
that when I read them as an array list in my .NET webservice, I know which
element I am referring to in a particular index.
Thanks.
Regards,
Angelo
[flexcoders] Re: item renderer in ComboBox not consistent
Thanks valdhor - great solution! I had got this far but was using a textInput

editable=false;

the cursor would go into the row. Not good. Question: I had to modify to
g.beginFill(0xE8E8E3, 0.5);
otherwise the line highlight would not show through and could not tell what
line was highlighted. It surprised me that a renderer was capable of doing this.

But there is no reason why in the local environment, the user/client can't switch from his browser to his system tray, copy the full path of a certain file and paste it to, say, a TextArea in the Flex app. This of course doesn't give any access to the file through the Flex app, but I was only needing the full path...

Re: [flexcoders] Re: how can you make the icon in an AdvancedDataGridGroupItemRenderer accept clicks?
Yes, I wondered why they set it, too. It's quite mysterious.
And as far as extending ADGGIR - have you looked at that code? They were
good about making very little of it private or mx_internal (yes, I know I
can get around the latter), but the bulk of it is done in commitProperties.
So you'd be limited to just stuff you could take on to the end of the
overridden function. Likely I'd just clone the unit and change the bit of
code I was interested in.

According to the docs, mouseEnabled defaults to true. I wonder why the
ADGGIR constructor sets it to false? Also, why don't the docs reflect this?
I just wanted to say that if you still wanted the functionality from
AdvancedDataGridGroupItemRenderer and you wanted extra functionality, you
can extend AdvancedDataGridGroupItemRenderer for your renderer. Best of both
worlds ;-)

Well, the main reason I wouldn't want to write my own itemRenderer is
that
AdvancedDataGridGroupItemRenderer does a lot of stuff I wouldn't want to
have to reinvent. It also interacts with stuff like iconFunction that
would
be annoying to re-implement. Plus, there's the fact that there's a high
likelihood that what I wrote would be much less efficient.
But good news! I found a simple way to achieve what I want:

// put any icon you want in the embed below, doesn't matter

The key was setting mouseEnabled=true. It is set to false in the
constructor for ADGGIR. I'm not sure why, and I am a little worried that
I
may be messing up something important. So far I haven't noticed any odd
behavior. But if anyone knows a good reason WHY mouseEnabled is set this
way, please followup.

AFAIK. you can't capture a mouse event on a Class object as it does not
implement iEventDispatcher. I suppose you could extend Class and
implement
iEventDispatcher but I have never tried it.

If you click anywhere but the icon, the gridclick and itemclick

both

the

as far
as I can tell.

select
the
row, just like clicking anywhere else will do. Tangentially, it
would
be
nice to know how to capture the event in case I wanted to do
something
different with clicking on the icon.

[flexcoders] local microphone not working from Flex App
Morning all, I am working on a flex soft phone component to add to our dashboard using Zingaya. I am working with Flex Builder 3 - sdk 3.2 on a XP machine. The canvas is housing the interface and the functions utilizing a SWC to communicate with the Zingaya api. I have a working prototype running standalone application, but when convert it to a canvas and add to the dashboard application I don't get use of the microphone. I have tired this 2 ways - creating a library project for the phone components and linking the two projects and directly adding the components to the application. Do I need to notify the application that the canvas needs access to the microphone? Anyone have any ideas? How would be the best way of trying to debug?

[flexcoders] Re: Configureing AIR app for blazeds messaging
I am interested in doing this too. The book Adobe AIR Programming Unleashed
has an example in chapter 13, I was finally able to get it to work.
The main thing it is stating near the begining of this example is Under
Additional Compiler Arguements, change the path inside the double quotes to
match the install path of your BlazeDS server: {path to your BlazeDS
folder}/tomcat/webapps/blazeds/WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml But I
generate my project saying it is AIR and will be using J2EE and lifecycle,
clicked validate, and it is putting that information into the Additional
Compiler Arguments for me (-services option).
Ok, long story short, here is what my Additional Compiler Arguments appears
like in my project: -services
C:\Blazeds\tomcat\webapps\chat\WEB-INF\flex\services-config.xml -locale en_US
The book told me to edit the messaging-config.xml file, but it seems that did
not work. Once I copied the service tag from the messaging-config.xml file
into the services-config.xml file instead of using the include file tag. And
reboot BlazeDS it started working! AIR application can send messages to my
browser version and vice versa. Also note that my services-config.xml does not
have any reference to variables ( {server.name}, {server.port}, {context.root},
...).
It is a really good example of a AIR chat program where it will even display a
status that someone is typing.

[flexcoders] Re: htmlText truncation when changing from embedded to device font
Tim,
Thanks for the detailed reply. Unfortunately, this only fixes half the
problem... With your recommended changes in place, the size of the TextArea now
restores after a brief flicker, but the HTML formatting of the content is still
lost.
Even if I reassign the HTML text to the TextArea inside your updateTextSize
function so it happens after the font change is complete, only the raw text
appears, and the formatting (even non-font-dependent formatting such as br/,
li etc.) is lost. I read and appreciate your point about the bold face text
requiring an embedded bold font, but even the non font-dependent formatting (as
above) is lost.
Any ideas on how to restore the formatting after the font change?

[flexcoders] Re: htmlText truncation when changing from embedded to device font
One other thing that you could try would be to create the TextArea
dynamically each time with AS, set the styleName, set the text and
addChild(). You would have to removeChild() each time as well. Not
sure if this would solve your problem, but maybe it's worth a try.

Thanks for the detailed reply. Unfortunately, this only fixes half
the
problem... With your recommended changes in place, the size of the
TextArea now restores after a brief flicker, but the HTML formatting
of
the content is still lost.
Even if I reassign the HTML text to the TextArea inside your
updateTextSize function so it happens after the font change is
complete,
only the raw text appears, and the formatting (even non-font-dependent
formatting such as br/, li etc.) is lost. I read and appreciate
your
point about the bold face text requiring an embedded bold font, but
even
the non font-dependent formatting (as above) is lost.
Any ideas on how to restore the formatting after the font change?
Thanks again,
Toby

get it to work with the following steps (hack):
1) Remove height=200 from the test Text control.
2) Add this function:
private function updateTextSize():void

3) On the ComboBox change event, execute
callLater(updateTextSize);
Note: If you use embedded fonts, a boldface font must be available

Hi all,
I've seeing some strange behaviour with a mx:Text component
using
htmlText.
It seems that when the fontFamily of the text component is
changed
at
runtime from an embedded font to a device font (or vice versa),
the
content is truncated, and the HTML formatting lost. However, when
changing from one device font to another (or one embedded font to
another), it works just fine.
Take this example (view source enabled but without the actual
font
files included - any OTF should work fine):
http://dev.nx.sg/lab/fontchange/FontChange.html
This app initializes the text component with some htmlText using
a
device font (_sans in this case). Once loaded, try changing the
font
to another device font (e.g. Courier New or Myriad) with the
dropdown.
Everything's fine. Now change to an embedded font, and note the
truncation and loss of formatting.
The reverse happens if I initalize the field with an embedded
font
-
changing to another embedded font works fine but changing to a
device
font ends up truncating again.
Anyone got any ideas how to make this work?
Thanks,
Toby.
Re: [flexcoders] External config file for livecycle
When you talk about the root config file are you referring to the services-config file that you specify as an argument to the Flex Compiler? If so, that not a server config file. It's values are hard coded into your SWF. The file on the server, even a hosted server, has absolutely no affect on getting Flex Remoting working (or not).

[flexcoders] FileReference Load local files - how to use it to load flv or MP4 files?
I am trying to use the FileReference stuff to load flv and/ or mp4 files to Flash player.

Re: [flexcoders] ArrayCollection Does Not Show Items In Order When Passed to .NET WebService
Hi Sam,
Care to show some examples? I am parsing the arrayCollection into an ArrayList
on .NET. This is particularly not too appealing since I just discovered that
for example, if one of the objects in the arraycollection would have an empty
string value, the number of items inside the array is not reflected properly in
.NET.
Like:
private var arrR:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([{ID:001,
Value:Select},
{ID:002,
Value:Choose},
{ID:003, Value:},]);
When I pass this var arrR into a .NET webservice and delegate it to an
ArrayList, the items in the array list will have one of the arrays only
containing 1 item (instead of 2).
Adding to my problem is the fact that the arrays inside the array list when
read in .NET should have the object ID and Value be in order but they are not.
This is further true when there are many items in the array collection.
Sometimes, the first item becomes the last one in the array list, and sometimes
the order is not well.
In any case, I am finding a solution on how I would be able to pass an
ArrayCollection to .NET and be able to parse it properly.
Thanks.

How is it being parsed in .NET? You can parse it into a hashtable, or
better yet, use a pre-defined object.
Not sure why the order is different, but it is probably fragile to
rely on the order in this case.

Hi FlexCoders,
I have an array collection which I am populating as follows:
var oTemp:Object;
var xl:XMLList = _xmlData.children( );
var i:int;
for(i = 0; i xl.length(); i++)
{
oTemp = {ID_TAG:xl[i] .ID.text( ), CAT_TAG:xl[i] .CAT.text( ),
DET_TAG:xl[i] .DET.text( ), REP_DATE_TAG: xl[i].REP_ DATE.text( ),
IND_TAG:xl[i] .IND.text( )};
arrDP.addItem( oTemp);
}
Now, when I pass back this Array Collection back into a web service, the
fields are not in order as I have added them into the array collection.
I am expecting that in my Web Service, when I parse this arraycollection
(via arraylist), I would be getting the same order of columns as I have
added them, i.e. the first array in the array list would have element 0 to
be the value I placed in the ID.
Since the arraylist does not have the field tag (represented by ID_TAG,
DET_TAG, CAT_TAG, etc..), it becomes a trial and error (hit and miss) on my
part since I can only reference the value via the index on the array.
Now, how would I be able to include the tags inside array collection such
that when I read them as an array list in my .NET webservice, I know which
element I am referring to in a particular index.
Thanks.

Angelo

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Web Service Question (Help!)
No I am not using that tool. I think the arrayCollection when one of the columns contains a null value (as retrieved from the database), it basically cannot be passed back to the web service. Anyway, what I did was I made some changes on the retrieve SQL statement by decoding null value as empty strings. The problem I now have is that for example, when I pass the arraycollection with one of the objects having an empty string value to my .net web service, the web service, which accepts the the same as ArrayList would not recognize that object with the empty string value. So instead of 7 objects in my array collection (with one object having empty string value) is passed to my web service and delegated to the Array List, the array list would only contain 6 objects, instead of 7. Any idea how to remedy this? I think I may need to change how I pass the collection from Flex to .NET. Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] ArrayCollection Does Not Show Items In Order When Passed to .NET WebService
Instead of using an array list and trying to emulate the type-less
abilities of AS3, I'd try to map the XML to typed objects in .NET. Or
does the XML from your Flex app differ too wildly to do this?
Are you using the XmlSerializer to deserialize this? Or are you using
WCF? Or are you doing it some other way, or manually?
I'd provide an example, but I don't know enough details on your
situation to give something useful :)
