Re: [flexcoders] Re: Measuring the width of a label
But measureText() or measureHTMLText() will measure the width of the whole text after considering the current styles for the component.

[flexcoders] Re: Loading local SWFs in AIR to local-with-network sandbox
Ok, so the main AIR application is loaded into the application sandbox. We are loading modules from the app-storage directory into the application. (these are not Flex modules, but SWFs with our specific sandbox bridge) A local SWF loaded into the application will reside in the local-trusted, local-with-file, or local-with-network security sandbox, as the documentation states here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflash/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7f05.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7e3c In the first case the user needs to explicitly trust the SWF through the Global Security Manager. (which btw doesn't work for me, later on this.) The second and third case are depending on how the SWF was compiled, with network access, or without it. (use-network flag) I want to use the local-with-network sandbox, so I set use-network=true as the compiler option. But the SWF is always loaded into the local-with-file sandbox, and I can't imagine why. This is our problem. I also tried the desktop directory to load SWFs from and it worked as expected. I hope this clear things up. And thanks for your time. Daniel Sidenote: From what I see I guess there's a problem with URI schemes. App storage directory has it's own URI scheme (app-storage:/). Try allow something from there in the Global Security Settings panel. It won't work. The manager will offer an url somenthing like this: app-storage:/module.swf, but in which AIR application's app-storage directory is that SWF you are allowing anyway? On the other hand using the File.desktopDirectory is working as expected, it is resolved with the file URI scheme (file://). --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui aha...@... wrote: I think we need a better explanation.

[flexcoders] Chart font image quality
Hi, I am trying to add some charts to a PDF using AlivePDF. Adding the image to the PDF looks horrible (very fuzzy font). I have tried using the ImageCapture with a high dpi, which looks alot better, but there are still a lot of 'artifacts' around the text in the chart labels. I also tried to use a bitmap font from a Flash swf, but am getting the same noise around the text. Is there anyway to get the image of a chart that is good enough to print without the labels looking like this? Especially when I have 'real' text along side this chart image, the result is very disappointing. I really need a printable report that looks nice. I suppose AlivePDF has nothing to do with it really, it's more of getting a high quality image. Thanks for any suggestions...

[flexcoders] Re: Loading local SWFs in AIR to local-with-network sandbox
Reading the documentation you pointed to, if you load from within the application directory the file will have full access. Loading from network or remote, it will be in the remote sandbox. Loading from outside the application directory will allow you to give the different security sandboxes being mention (local-with-network being one of them). Try moving the loaded swf file outside the application directory.

Re: [flexcoders] Who can explain me this:

private var b:Object = {data:String};
Let's create an object that lives at memory address 456 Silicon Drive. This
variable 'b' gives me the object that lives at that address.
private var testx:Array = [a]
The first entry of this array is this object that the variable 'a' is
pointing to. Looks like that's the object at 123 RAM lane. So the first
entry of this array is 'The object that lives at 123 RAM Lane'
trace(testx[0].data) // 1st - 100
According to the first entry of my array, I want to be looking at the
object that lives at 123 RAM Lane. That's an object with a 'data' variable
of 100
a.data = 1000
This variable 'a' is looking at an object that lives at 123 RAM Lane. Let's

According to the first entry of my array, I want to be looking at the
object that lives at 123 RAM lane. That's an object with a 'data' variable
of 1000
Basically, it's the fact that when you assign objects to variables, you're
not assigning the entire object, but a pointer to where that object lives in
memory. And then, when you stored that object in an array, I'm guessing that
Flex stored The address of the object that 'a' is pointing to instead of
anything related to the actual variable called 'a'. That's why you can
change what a is pointing to without actually changing what the first
element in your array is pointing to.
At least, I'm pretty sure that's what's going on. Somebody out there feel

You add child components which are UIComponents to a container like HBox.

By default, data items are expected to have a 'label' property to display,

typically they aren't visual components.
Here's an example of adding two data items to a list using ActionScript.

Subject: [flexcoders] Question about a flex component
Hi,
I am new to Flex. I am looking for help on designing a custom component
that will
hold a lot of items. When the items exceed the number that are visible in
the ui
of this horizontal component on the webpage an icon appears, which if you
click
will show a list of the other components you can click again and restore
the ui with
that item. Hope you understand what I am talking about. If not please
post for clarification.
Thanks in advance,
Veena

You add child components which are UIComponents to a container like HBox.
But you add data items to a list-based control like HorizontalList. These
data items then get displayed by item renderers, which are children which get
automatically created to display data items. The children are managed by the
list, not by you... you manage the data, not the renderers.
By default, data items are expected to have a 'label' property to display,
unless you set the labelField or labelFunction of the list component. They
can be plain Objects, or instances of data classes, or anything else, but
typically they aren't visual components.
Here's an example of adding two data items to a list using ActionScript.
myList.dataProvider = new ArrayCollection();
var item:Object;
item = { label: One, data: 1 };
myList.dataProvider.addItem(item);
item = { label: Two, data: 2 };
myList.dataProvider.addItem(item);

Suppose there are 100 items and you can only see 10 at a time. So first
you see 0-9. When you click the icon you see 10-19. When you click it
again you'd see 20-29. So you'd need another icon (previous page
instead of next page) to go back to 10-19 and then 0-9.

I've figured out how to make the first section of code below work as I

headers in the datagrid like I want. The part I need help on is getting
the code in addDGRow to work, a function that will accept CSV data in
the same order as the headers and add that data as a new row in the
datagrid. I've been working on this all day and can't figure out how to
do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Josh

Why not just allow scrolling instead of paging? Scrolling
components can scroll through thousands of items quickly.
Suppose there are 100 items and you can only see 10 at a time. So
first you see 0-9. When you click the icon you see 10-19. When you click it
again you'd see 20-29. So you'd need another icon (previous page instead
of next page) to go back to 10-19 and then 0-9.

Re: [flexcoders] Need help Combobox label property
If I understand correctly, you have a ComboBox with a dataProvider, and want to set the selectedIndex / selectedItem of that dataProvider knowing only piece of data (the CountryCode). Is that correct? Unfortunately, your approach is the way to do it using the built in Flex ComboBox. Our Flextras AutoCompleteComboBox implemented a selectedValue property, which allows you to do just that, though http://www.flextras.com/?event=ProductHomeproductID=10 Does this answer the question? gan_sun2006 wrote: Hi, I am using combobox for which the bound data is coming from an arraycollection.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Question about a flex component
The compiler wouldn't have a declaration of 'data', so would assume item.data
has type *. At runtime it would have type int if its value is 1. But you could
use class to define data items with strongly typed properties:
public class MyItem
{
public var label:String:
public var data:int;
}
and then the compiler would know that 'data' is int at compile-time.

You add child components which are UIComponents to a container like
HBox.
But you add data items to a list-based control like HorizontalList.
These data items then get displayed by item renderers, which are children
which get automatically created to display data items. The children are
managed by the list, not by you... you manage the data, not the renderers.
By default, data items are expected to have a 'label' property to
display, unless you set the labelField or labelFunction of the list
component. They can be plain Objects, or instances of data classes, or
anything else, but typically they aren't visual components.
Here's an example of adding two data items to a list using
ActionScript.
myList.dataProvider = new ArrayCollection();
var item:Object;
item = { label: One, data: 1 };
myList.dataProvider.addItem(item);
item = { label: Two, data: 2 };
myList.dataProvider.addItem(item);

[flexcoders] AIR app, need MouseMove events NOT bounded by screen
This AIR app is to be embedded in a consumer electronics product. It is a transparent UI that indirectly controls an underlying map application by sending messages via sockets. The product actually has a joystick and not a mouse and one requirement is that moving the joystick will cause the map to pan. In development, using a real mouse, when the mouse pointer hits a screen boundary, MouseMove events are no longer dispatched in that direction. In a corner, all events cease. This is causing me problems with continuing to send messages to the application to continue panning. I am hoping the joystick will behave differently, but am also looking for any other suggestions. I have considered using a timer to send repeated increments (the back-end app only needs position deltas), but I haven't figured out how to stop that. As far as I can tell, there is no way to set the position of the system cursor. If I could reset the mouse x,y to some positive values when it approached an edge, that would work as well. Is there anyway I can get deeper into the mouse event? If I could get a generic moving event, that would also suffice. Any thoughts? Tracy Spratt

In development, using a real mouse, when the mouse pointer hits a screen boundary, MouseMove events are no longer dispatched in that direction. In a corner, all events cease. This is causing me problems with continuing to send messages to the application to continue panning. I am hoping the joystick will behave differently, but am also looking for any other suggestions. I have considered using a timer to send repeated increments (the back-end app only needs position deltas), but I haven't figured out how to stop that. As far as I can tell, there is no way to set the position of the system cursor. If I could reset the mouse x,y to some positive values when it approached an edge, that would work as well. Is there anyway I can get deeper into the mouse event? If I could get a generic moving event, that would also suffice. Any thoughts? Tracy Spratt
RE: [flexcoders] AIR app, need MouseMove events NOT bounded by screen
I have tested with a joystick and it behaves the same as moving the mouse with no button pressed, and events stop at the screen boundaries.

Re: [flexcoders] Frustrating examples from ADOBE
This is something we're looking to address, there are a lot of places that link to old pages and we don't want them to break, but we do want to find a way for search results to be more relevant. This is one thing we hope to accomplish with the community help search capabilities, see if initiating the search from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex for example helps.

I'm new to Flex (just started looking at it 2 days ago) but I've been
working on this problem all day long. I'm trying to create and populate
a datagrid based on field names specified in a CSV list, with separate
data that is also going to be CSV but from a different source in the
same order if that makes sense.
I've figured out how to make the first section of code below work as I
would expect, buildDG takes the CSV string and generates the columns and
headers in the datagrid like I want. The part I need help on is getting
the code in addDGRow to work, a function that will accept CSV data in
the same order as the headers and add that data as a new row in the
datagrid. I've been working on this all day and can't figure out how to
do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Josh
