-includes takes classnames not file or directory names. If you don't want an ever-growing commandline, use a -config file.

Re: [flexcoders] Chart GridLines error message
Found solution few mins after posting this - in Flex 4 style direction is
renamed to gridDirection so this
may be useful to someone else maybe having this same problem.

Re: [flexcoders] click and doubleClick on the same button?
The only way I've been able to accomplish this is to use a timer to filter
out a double click, and then ferry the original click event to an eventual
click handler. The downside to this is the hardcoded timer delay doesn't
reflect the user's system's double-click delay, and I'm not sure how to read
that in (I'm not even sure that Flex uses this anyway).
Example:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

[flexcoders] Re: Modules and fonts vanishing is giving me the cramps
Very doubtful that I did that. To be on the safe side, is having this inside my creationComplete event of every module a good idea? Yes. var myLoaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(); myLoaderContext.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain; I always make sure that my visual components for whatever module I am creating are only inside my module. It was really weird, the puremvc, issue, it was just a reference to my model with with retrieveProxy inside of one of my shell commands. All I did was remove that reference and my fonts reapeared. What I do is put all my commands in my shell, and use the puremvc shellModuleJuction paradigm, which cleanly, decouples any references to the modules directly through a nice event mechanism. This is a pretty intense flex project. Off hand, say you have a module that checks in at 1.2 megs with out doing the link reports. When I do all the link stuff with a build script, what can I expect that to be reduced to? Any ideas, mostly it's datagrids and charts inside.

When you load a module, the main app's appDom is the parent and the module gets loaded as a child of that appdom. That's what we want, right?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Modules and fonts vanishing is giving me the cramps
Actually, we don't recommend doing that. It will solve lots of class definition problems, but the module will no longer unload. If you don't care about unloading modules then that's fine. Maybe the decoupling allowed the module to be unloaded. Make sure something is keep a strong reference to something in the module otherwise it can go away. It is hard to say how much a module can be optimized. The only thing that matters is how many classes it has compared to the main app. If you are using the framework RSL in the main app (which you should), then when you extern the framework RSL agains the module (don't use RSL linkage in modules) it should really shrink the SWF unless you've got tons of custom business logic or assets in the module.

To be on the safe side, is having this inside my creationComplete event of every module a good idea? Yes. var myLoaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(); myLoaderContext.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain; I always make sure that my visual components for whatever module I am creating are only inside my module. It was really weird, the puremvc, issue, it was just a reference to my model with with retrieveProxy inside of one of my shell commands. All I did was remove that reference and my fonts reapeared. What I do is put all my commands in my shell, and use the puremvc shellModuleJuction paradigm, which cleanly, decouples any references to the modules directly through a nice event mechanism. This is a pretty intense flex project. Off hand, say you have a module that checks in at 1.2 megs with out doing the link reports. When I do all the link stuff with a build script, what can I expect that to be reduced to? Any ideas, mostly it's datagrids and charts inside.

[flexcoders] Re: Stopping double-click of a button 'bubble' to the datagrid row
Beau + Alex! Thank you! I've used event.stopPropagation(); //This is exactly what I needed! Chers, Nick 2009/9/1 Nick Middleweek n...@middleweek.co.uk Hello, I've got an advancedDataGrid (AvDG) and the first column has an item renderer which has a button on it. The button has a click handler. There is also a itemDoubleClick handler on the AvDG. Users are double-clicking the button so this is firing the click of the button handler but the doubleClick event is also being fired on the AvDG row item. I'm guessing this is related to event bubbling or capturing? I'm trying to stop the AvDG.row doubleClick event being fired if the user double clicks on the button. Anyone got any ideas? I've tried to put a doubleClick on the button in hope that it would handle it and therefore stop the row event from being fired but ti didn't work. Now I think i need to capture the doubleClick cancel event in the button object and prevent it from bubbling from the button to the AvDG. Where do I set event.cancelable = true? Thanks, Nick

XMLListCollection
dataprovider question
1. Datagrid displays fine
2. Datagrid dataprovider = lstRepRankDrill[0].record which is _inside_ the
lstRepRankDrill XMLListCollection. This XML hierarchy format is returned
by
myFlexSQL web service against SQLServer2005.
3. trace(lstRepRankDrill[0].record.toXMLString()) gives the 60 rows of
data that appear in the datagrid.
4. The XMLListCollection format:
lstRepRankDrill (mx.collections.XMLListCollection)
...[0] (XML)
..results
.record
chnl_cd
rep_nm
.record
.record etc
Code:
- Datagrid declaration
mx:DataGrid dataProvider={lstRepRank[0].record} /mx:DataGrid
- load XMLListCollection with back end result set
lstRepRankDrill = new XMLListCollection(myFlexsql.xmlData.results);
- add filter
lstRepRankDrill.filterFunction = filterRepRankDtlChnl;
- filter code
private function filterRepRankDtlChnl(item:XML):Boolean{
...trace(item.toXMLString());
...if(item.results.record.chnl_cd == PREM) return true;
..else return false;
}
NOTE: trace(item.toXMLString()); in filter code prints all the data, not
just one row. Trace=
item (XML)
...results
..record
..record etc all 60 of them.
So even though the grid data is fine, the filter is getting passed all the
data, and the filter gets called once. I wonder if it is because the data
is
hierarchical and there is a discrepancy between the dataprovider and the
filter owner. The dataprovider is _inside_ the lstRepRankDrill
XMLListCollection as lstRepRankDrill[0].record. The filter is placed on
the
outside XMLListCollection :
lstRepRankDrill.filterFunction = filterRepRankDtlChnl;
Its almost like where the filter is placed (XMLListCollection rather than
dataprovider subnode lstRepRankDrill[0].record) is causing all the data to
be forwarded into filter param item, and passed only once.

[flexcoders] Chart Annotation Headaces
I'm attempting to add annotation items to a LineChart via CartesianDataCanvas,addDataChild(); There are two steps involved - one where the chart data is returned, immediately followed by my attempt at annotation. The results are inconsistent. Sometimes the annotation items (graphics) render properly, and sometimes some are dropped. I've been trying to find the correct event to listen to, thinking that perhaps the chart has to finish rendering with it's new ArrayCollection, but so far it's a mystery. updateComplete does not work as it creates an infinite loop as new updateComplete events are fired when new annotation items are added. Any advice appreciated! Jeff Battershall Application Architect Dow Jones Indexes jeff.battersh...@dowjones.com (609) 520-5637 (p) (484) 477-9900 (c)

Return _bLoggedIn;
}
Public function set bLoggedIn(value:Boolean):void
{
If (_bLoggedIn != value)
{
_bLoggedIn = value;
dispatchEvent(new Event(bLoggedInChanged);
}
}
And somewhere in the app I would do:
GlobalVars.instance.addEventListener(bLoggedInChanged, init);

Somewhere you probably have code that sets enabled=true, and that code can call
init().

Subject: [flexcoders] creationcomplete firing when a component is disabled
I've got a troubling issue...
On my main page I have a tabNavigator that has several different pages for my
app. This navigator is disabled until the user logs in. However, even though
the navigator is disabled; it still fires off the creationcomplete which is
giving me grief because the data connection hasn't been built yet.
Falling short of creating a custom event, is there a way to fire off the init()
function when the component is enabled instead of when it's creationComplete?
Thanks

No, you misunderstood. Alex meant that you need to call init when you
'manually' enable the canvas.
Ie:
you have a button where you do:
buttonClick(..)
{
myCanvas.enabled = true ;
//Here is the place to put init()

[flexcoders] custom components destroy Flex design mode ....
This one is starting to really drive me crazy ... placing any one of a multitude of custom components on the mxml stops design mode from opening. Just grabbed the SteelPotato footerdatagrid to see if it can be seen if it is used. Nope - stops design mode. Wanted to try it because our implementation of Alex's solution also stops design mode from opening. The FlexLib buttons do the same thing - code them into source view and no more design view. How do you deal with this? Our corporate dashboards are starting to get very detailed and we need a WYSIWYG view to adjust things. Do we really have to compile, run application, view in browser, check, and then go back to source mode to increase the width of a button if needed? Any info really appreciated. TIA, Mic.

[flexcoders] Context Menu mouseTarget Issue
I have a canvas container with several custom containers added to it. I have a
context menu so that when you right click on the containers, you can remove it
from the canvas container. When I go to remove a child, I get an error, below.
Code:
private function menuSelectHandler(event:ContextMenuEvent):void {
var remChild:Number;
var target:String = event.mouseTarget.toString();
trace (target);
if (target.match(UIComponent) == null target.match(resizeBar) ==
null) {
trace ( True 1);
trace (+event.mouseTarget);
remChild = cal0Day.getChildIndex(event.mouseTarget);
}
else {
trace ( True 2);
trace (+event.mouseTarget.parent);
remChild = myCanvas.getChildIndex(event.mouseTarget.parent);
}
trace (remChild);
trace (myCanvas.getChildAt(remChild));
myCanvas.removeChildAt(remChild);
myAC.removeChildAt(remChild);
updateLayout();
}
TestApp0.canvasShell.myCanvas.myContainer592
True 1
TestApp0.canvasShell.myCanvas.myContainer592

TestApp0.canvasShell.myCanvas.myContainer592
Then I get the following error:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the
caller.

How do I do this?
RE: [flexcoders] RE: creationcomplete firing when a component is disabled
I assume you mis-typed the first one? There are too many )'s. The params to
addEventListener take a method reference, not a call to a method, so
addEventListener(bLoggedInChagned, init)
is correct.
Do you have a function init()? Is it in the same file as this code?
Otherwise, you'll need to make it public and get access to it. BTW, the init()
must now take an event as its parameter
public function init(event:Event):void
{
// call webservice or something like that

I do not know what, but here, I 75% of my app is custom and i never had this problem (Vista, AND XP) Hopefully somebody else can provide some real help thought, and not just 'it plays here :-)' On Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 10:30 PM, chigwell23 chigwel...@yahoo.com wrote: This one is starting to really drive me crazy ... placing any one of a multitude of custom components on the mxml stops design mode from opening. Just grabbed the SteelPotato footerdatagrid to see if it can be seen if it is used. Nope - stops design mode. Wanted to try it because our implementation of Alex's solution also stops design mode from opening. The FlexLib buttons do the same thing - code them into source view and no more design view. How do you deal with this? Our corporate dashboards are starting to get very detailed and we need a WYSIWYG view to adjust things. Do we really have to compile, run application, view in browser, check, and then go back to source mode to increase the width of a button if needed? Any info really appreciated.

RE: [flexcoders] RE: creationcomplete firing when a component is disabled
Ok, it's been one of those days... Perhaps I shouldn't program when I'm
ill.
I finally figured out what the heck was going on and want to post this
in case someone else runs into it.
I'm building an Air application that connected to a CF server. I
created a process to pull an XML file with the server information to set
up the remote object. This file was populated into the GlobalVars. The
problem was the first screen initialized (including the remote object
call) before the XML file was read. I stumbled on the answer by
accident when I went to see what was in the
GlobalVars.instance.strServer variable. Incidentally, why doesn't the
debugger see this variable? If I do the following:
Private var strTemp:string;
strTemp = GlobalVars.instance.strServer
I can then watch the variable in the debugger.
Anyway, I set the original variable to [Bindable] and my problem went
away. It was then I realized that the remote object with the endpoint
variable was initialized in a non-configured state.
GRR.
Thanks for your help anyway, Alex. I learned something new about
overloading variables in flex which I'm sure will come in handy later
on.

Yeah, that got me next... I had to add in the event into the
init(evt::Event):void.
With all the work, I've got the same issue...
It's trying to initialize the remoteobject before it has the required
information provided after the login.

I assume you mis-typed the first one? There are too many )'s. The
params to addEventListener take a method reference, not a call to a
method, so
addEventListener(bLoggedInChagned, init)
is correct.
Do you have a function init()? Is it in the same file as this code?
Otherwise, you'll need to make it public and get access to it. BTW, the
init() must now take an event as its parameter
public function init(event:Event):void
{
// call webservice or something like that
}

RE: [flexcoders] RE: creationcomplete firing when a component is disabled
You can't see GlobalVars because it's a Singleton. Models are often used
that way. Try var g:GlobalVars = GlobalVars.instance;
I do that a lot when using a Model and when I'm done debugging, I remove it.

[flexcoders] Detecting ResizeEvent Complete
How do I determine when a ResizeEvent has completed? I'm doing some measuring of a container when the application is resized, however, if I measure the container when the ResizeEvent is triggered, I don't get the final container width.
