Subject: [flexcoders] Catching graphics update on UIComponent





I have a UIComponent that is a component made up of a label and a background 
image. I am running a loop to update the component, change the label and copy 
the resulting bitmap to a standard image. My result is that I get the image 
without any updates. The add function just pushes the counter of the label up 1 
and updates the .text field of the label. The code looks like...

I know invalidatedisplaylist just adds a flag to a future update but how should 
this be built.

var curX :int = 10;
var curY : int = 70;
var anImage : Image;
var imageBitmapData:BitmapData ;

while (curY  this.height) {
bbMain.add(1);
if (curX  this.width) {
curX += 60;
} else {
curY += 60;
curX = 10;
}
this.invalidateDisplayList();
// Copy into new image
anImage = new Image();
anImage.width = 54
anImage.height = 54;
anImage.x = curX;
anImage.y = curY;
this.addChild(anImage);

imageBitmapData = ImageSnapshot.captureBitmapData(bbMain);
anImage.source = new Bitmap(imageBitmapData);
}




Re: [flexcoders] newbie question : putting a semicolon in a mxml property

2009-07-12 Thread Sam Lai
Not if there is just a single line of script within the quotation
marks. If you wanted to do something like this though,

mx:Button label=some label click=t1.text = t2.text;
doSomethingElse(); t3.visible = false; /

Then you do need the semi-colons. Most people just have the semi-colon
there out of habit from when they write AS in .as files or within the
mx:Script tags (they are needed in those cases).

2009/7/12 ew6014 ew6...@yahoo.com:
 hi guys

 i was reading the flex documentation and i noticed a ; inside a mxml property

 let me give you an example

 mx:Button label=some label click=t1.text = t2.text; /

 ive tried removing the semicolon ;  and also tried leaving it there and there 
 was no error of any kind.

 so im just wondering if this will cause issues or is something going on that 
 i do not know

 thank you guys in advance

[flexcoders] flash button in flex issue

I realize this is an old thread I'm digging up, but I am running into the same

The grid fills just fine but when I try to edit a cell I get:

I looked around online and found others getting this error but no solutions.

 Do you know ActionScript your objects from CF land are getting converted

 This appears to be something which does not extend Object - like maybe
 XML?   
 
  
 
 If you can't tell, adding mx:TraceTarget/ in MXML and using the debug
 player you can get a flashlog.txt which should have that information
 (feel free to send that to me directly offlist).   
 
  
 
 We use the constructor property in some cases to determine which class

 The fill method works great using RTMP and it fills a datagrid.
 
 When i make the datagrid editable and change a value, It returns this
 error: Error: Unknown Property: 'constructor'.
 
 The backend is connected with coldfusion CFCs. Again the fill method
 works great.

[flexcoders] Image control reports wrong size

2009-07-12 Thread jaywood58
My app needs to display an image inside a VBox, with content auto-scaled to fit 
the width of its container, and the VBox height adjusted to accommodate its 
children.
 
The problem arises when the loaded image has content width  VBox width, i.e., 
when the image content is scaled to fit --VBox appears to be using he original, 
unscaled height of the image, rather than its scaled-down height, so I end up 
with extra whitespace below the image. 

Similar behavior when I put the image in a Canvas, so it's not the container, 
but the image that is reporting incorrect height after scaling. I've posted an 
example to demonstrate the issue, at: http://data.uniontrib.com/ScaleTest/  
(view source enabled). 

I came up with an unsightly work-around that computes the proper height of 
the image once it has loaded and scaled, and assigns this to a bindable var 
that sets the height of the image... e.g.:

 mx:VBox id=myVb width=100
  mx:Image id=myImg scaleContent=true source=fx.jpg
   width=100% height={properHeight}
   complete=computeProperHeight()/
 /mx:VBox

 ...

  [Bindable] private var properHeight:Number;

  // run on complete of image load
 private function computeProperHeight():void
 {
  properHeight = (myImg.width/myImg.contentWidth)*myImg.contentHeight;
 }

If anybody has a better idea, I'd love to hear it.





RE: [flexcoders] BrowserManager not working

2009-07-12 Thread edencane

Hi. Thanks for your response.
After some more troubleshooting the problem is the following:

the URL is returned correctly by the following code:

import mx.managers.BrowserManager;
import mx.managers.IBrowserManager;
import mx.utils.URLUtil;
import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;

private var bman:IBrowserManager;
private var url1:String;

bman = BrowserManager.getInstance();
bman.init();
url1 = URLUtil.getServerNameWithPort(bman.url);
trace(url1);

but then I do this:

if (true) {
var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url1);
navigateToURL(u,_self);
}

Basically I want to reload the original URL on certain conditions.

This time when the page loads the bman instance is null.
So the URLRequest object does not contain the information that
BrowserManager needs.
Would this be to do with the request headers...?

How can I solve this...?

Thanks 

Kr.

so if it's doing it row by row, then it would need to be a labelfunction event 
right?  where would you suggest the code go?  there needs to be an 
if (datagrid.seleteditem[Kind]==LONG)datagrid.selecteditem[Profit]=Profit;
then another line that stipulate the other option:
if 
(datagrid.selecteditem[Kind]==Short)datagrid.selecteditem[Profit]=ShProfit;

if you just did dataGrid.selectedItem then that would be the selected row.  add 
[columnname] to get to the column, so:

dataGrid.selectedItem[columnname]

it's not the label, it's the data column name.

Hi all,i'm trying to change Flex 3 ToggleButtonBar dataprovider on user or 
admin log in..I'm trying to use 2 viewstack,one for user,one for admin and i 
got a component where the login form is in the component..What should i do to 
define the dataprovider on the mainbased on user log in??Thanks a lot... 



[flexcoders] Re: This is not as easy as it seems ... apparently...

2009-07-12 Thread Craig
Ok... In the parent component to the datagrid I used an initialize event:

 public function initDg():void  {

if(dgOrdExt.selectedItem[Kind]==LONG)dgOrdExt.Profit.dataField=Profit;
if(dgOrdExt.selectedItem[Kind]==SHORT)dgOrdExt.Profit.dataField=ShProfit;

}

it does not work.  but if I replace the code with dgOrdExt.dataField=Profit; 
which just sets the dataField without referencing the other column the code is 
all working... 

I also tried creationcomplete event and that did not work either.

You can't use selectedItem because there is no selectedItem.  You haven't 
clicked a row.  Try looping through the grid.

In the end, I really don't understand why you don't do this in the 
dataCollection, or even in the source data.

for (var i:Number = 0; i  mygrid.numChildren; i++) {
if (mygrid.getChildAt(i)[Kind] == 
LONG) {
mygrid.getChildAt(i)[Profit] 
= Profit;
}
else { mygrid.getChildAt(i)[Profit] = ShProfit; }

I am trying to change the value of col2 DataField to Profit not the value of

Can I use:

That'll update the value of the cell.  

You can't do what you're trying to do.  You can't have a column with a 
different dataField per row.  The dataField for the column is the same for 
every row.

Is this data coming from a database, through a view?  You really should do this 
there.  You can set up a view column with an if/then that returns the column's 
value you want.

 yourDataGrid.selectedItem[dataColumn1] =

[flexcoders] Loading External wysiwyg editor

2009-07-12 Thread Jonathan Ackerman
Hey All,

I have been playing with some options to try and get a better editor to 
work in Flex. As we all know, the RTE that comes as a standard control 
in Flex is a but limited, and I thought to try and get one of the 
javascript based editors to load.

Does anyone know if it is possible to load lets say TinyMCE into a Flex 
app? If not, is anyone aware of a way to extend the functionality of the 
supplied Flex RTE to allow for additoinal html formatting?

Thanks!
Jonathan
