[flexcoders] How to know that an application has createdCompleted ?
Hi there, I built a little component that needs the application to be fully completed before it starts working itself. I.e: I need to listen to the application creationComplete event. Now, that works if the user adds my component in the first page...However when it is added in a state for example that is supposed to get active later on in the application, application creationComplete has obviously long been fired I am sure there is a simple answer to my question, I just could not find any flag on the application object that would tell me that it is done in its lifecycle flow. Thnx.

[flexcoders] BrowserManager crossdomain issues
Hi All, I'm trying to host the html-template files provided by Flex Builder (including all necessary JavaScript) on one domain (www.mydomain.com) and the embedded SWF on another (swf.mydomain.com). Now, even though I call Security.allowDomain(*.mydomain.com) in my Flex app and allowScriptAccess=always in the embedding html, FlashPlayer complains about a SecurityViolation in flashlog.txt. It actually happens as soon as I hit the browser's back button. Firebug reports: uncaught exception: Error calling method on NPObject! [plugin exception: Error in Actionscript. Use a try/catch block to find error.]. The exception gets thrown in the setTitle function in history.js. Crossdomain files don't seem to be the issue, they're set up and working fine for other content. I cannot really find any reference of others who tried this before, does anyone know if it is actually possible at all to host the history related JavaScript in a different domain than the SWF?

[flexcoders] Different Views | Same DataProvider
Hi I have array collection as a data provider. I have two different views. User can do sorting in different views. But i want that the one view is not affected by another.I know i can keep two different copies of dataprovider for different views. Is there any other way. Actually my dataprovider has more than 25,000 records. Need your suggestions. Thanks ilikeflex
Re: [flexcoders] Different Views | Same DataProvider
The sorting is stored on the ListCollectionView dataProvider of each list
control. If you set the list controls to share the same ListCollectionView,
the sorting will be common. If you set the dataprovider to each control to
be a non-ListCollectionView object (an array for example, instead of an
ArrayCollection), the sorting will be unique between the two as different
ArrayCollection objects will be created to wrap the same source array, but
data will not be duplicated. There are some caveats: The ListCollectionView
also handles update events, so if you change the data in one list control,
it won't be shown in the other until you call other.dataProvider.refresh(),
and this can be a heavy operation as it has to reindex, sort and seek.
Here's an example:
=
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=horizontal xmlns:local=*
mx:Script
![CDATA[
[Bindable]
public var regionData:Array = [
{region: Asia, country: China, rep: Bill},
{region: Asia, country: S. Korea, rep: Bill},
{region: Asia, country: N. Korea, rep: Sue},
{region: Asia, country: Thailand, rep: Phil},
{region: Euorpe, country: United Kingdom, rep: Bill},
{region: Euorpe, country: France, rep: Sue},
{region: Euorpe, country: Italy, rep: Phil},
{region: Euorpe, country: Germany, rep: Bill},
{region: Africa, country: Zimbabwe, rep: Phil},
{region: Africa, country: S. Africa, rep: Sue},
{region: Africa, country: Kenya, rep: Bill},
{region: Africa, country: Egypt, rep: Phil},
{region: N. America, country: U.S.A., rep: Bill}
];
private function addMore():void
{
right.dataProvider.addItem(
{region: N. America, country: U.S.A., rep: Beau}
);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:DataGrid id=left dataProvider={regionData} height=100%
width=50%
mx:columns
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=region /
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=country /
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=rep /
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
mx:DataGrid id=right dataProvider={regionData} height=100%
width=50%
mx:columns
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=region /
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=country /
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=rep /
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
mx:VBox
mx:Button click=addMore() label=Add to right grid /
mx:Button click=left.dataProvider.refresh(); label=refresh left
/
/mx:VBox
/mx:Application
=
Note that you can sort the datagrids independent of eachother. If you click
add to right grid, a new line item will be added to the right grid only.
It has been added to the regionData Array, as well, but becase Array is not
an event dispatcher, the left grid is not automatically refreshed. If you
click the refresh button, the dataProvider for left is refreshed and the new
lines show up.
Hope this helps,
Beau

Not a simple question. The issue with performance and datagrid is rendering. Poorly optimized item renderers are the primary problem.

Beyond that, there will be no significant difference in performance for large data sets. Data service latency and user experience are additional issues to consider.

Re: [flexcoders] How to get X, Y position/coordinates of a specific character/letter in a text field
Oh - sorry, should have said - you'll need to get at the .textField property of (for example) your mx.controls.Text object, which will give you back the raw flash.text.TextField for you to then call getCharBoundaries() on it. Unfortunately, .textField is a protected property of mx.controls.Text, so can't be seen from outside the class. The simplest way to get at it is to extend mx.controls.Text - build your own component that inherits from Text. That will give you access to the .textField property you need; then you can call methods on it as appropriate.

Hey Thanks Ian, I was just looking at that actually but TextInput doesn't seem to have it (Flex 4).

[flexcoders] Re: RegExpValidator Not working with code-behind - SOLVED
The solution was to declare the regexp in the mxml, escaping the { and }
characters. Once I did that, it worked as expected.
mx:RegExpValidator id=ipValidator
expression=/^(([01]?[0-9]\{1,2\}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])\.)\{3\}([01]?[0-9]\{1,2\}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])$/
source={tiIPAddress}
property=text
trigger={tiIPAddress}
triggerEvent=change
noMatchError=Invalid IP Address Format./

I changed the String to a RegExp, escaped and didn't escape the {}
characters, and also tried with and without the [Bindable] metadata tag. As
long as the regular expression is in the actionscript file, it just doesn't
work properly. Actually, in this instance, nothing ever validates as a valid
IP address.

instead.
Could be because by directly specifying the expression, the MXML-AS
parser correctly decides to treat it as a RegExp. But when directly
binding to the value, binding sees it just as a String.

We use the code-behind technique to attach AS to MXML. Doing this has

an interesting issue with RegExpValidator. If the regular expression is
defined in the AS file and contains a quantifier, it causes validation to
act funky.
In the following example, if you type about 20 zeroes into the IP field it
goes from invalid, to valid, and back to invalid. Obviously it should be
invalid after the first zero is typed and stay that way unless a proper IP
is entered. However, if you take the same regExp string and put it in the
MXML file it works as expected. Note that escaping or not escaping the {
or
} characters while the string is in the AS file has no effect on the
validation.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Modules and fonts vanishing is giving me the cramps
The rule for fonts in Flex is that whatever TextField or subclass of TextFIeld (like DataGridItemRenderer) is displaying the font must be created in the module containing the font. I haven't used pureMVC so I don't know how it could break that. Most Flex components use a lookup scheme to figure out which moduleFactory to use. Others like Charts and DataGrid need to use ContextualClassFactory instead of the default ClassFactory. Could you have changed something in there?
