[flexcoders] AIR Badge Install fails on Macromedia Certificate Error
Hello, I noticed my AIR Badge installer stopped working with the message A download error occurred, would you like to try again when the person did not have Adobe AIR installed previously. I had thought that the Badge was supposed to download air seamlessly as part of the process. I snooped with Charles and found that the loaded air.swf file was attempting to access https://www.macromedia.comhttps://www.macromedia.com/ and this request is returning a certificate error. Attempting to access the url on my home machine directly using gives me the message that the cert is not from a trusted authority.

Re: [flexcoders] reading Xml excel files
It looks like it has to do with the fact that excel creates namespaces for all your XML. If you don't need them, see if you can remove them as it will save you time. If you can't, check out the Namespace class. There is an XML example at the bottom of the link below that might help you out. http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/Namespace.html On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 2:24 PM, charleswcng charlesw...@yahoo.com wrote: I'm writing a small app that can upload excel xml files and convert them into graphs.

[flexcoders] Re: Please set up a TomcatValve as described in the documentation problem
From the BlazeDS Installation guide at
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/blazeds/Installation+Guide:
To use BlazeDS with Tomcat, follow these steps after deploying the
BlazeDS WAR files. These steps are not necessary for the integrated
Tomcat installation.
1. Increase the maximum memory to at least 512MB. This is achieved by
specifying the maximum heap size for the JVM in the JAVA_OPTS variable:
-Xmx512m
2. (Optional) To enable custom authentication, locate the Tomcat
security resource libraries under
install_root/resources/security/tomcat.
1. Put flex-tomcat-common.jar in tomcat/lib/blazeds.
2. Place flex-tomcat-server.jar in tomcat/lib/blazeds.
3. Edit the catalina.properties file which can be found in the
tomcat/conf directory. Find the common.loader property and add the
following path to the end of the list:
${catalina.home}/lib/blazeds/*.jar
4. Add Valve className=flex.messaging.security.TomcatValve/ tag
to the Context descriptors. For example, for the BlazeDS samples WAR:
Context path=/samples docBase=${catalina.home}/webapps/samples
debug=0
Valve className=flex.messaging.security.TomcatValve/
/Context
You will now be authenticated against the current Tomcat realm. Usually,
the default for this authentication stores user information in
conf/tomcat-users.xml. See the Tomcat documentation for more information
on realms. See the documentation for more information on BlazeDS custom
authentication.
5. You may also need to update the active login-command in
/WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml
in each deployment of a BlazeDS WAR file. For Tomcat, ensure that the
TomcatLoginCommand is active in the security section:
security
login-command class=flex.messaging.security.TomcatLoginCommand
server=Tomcat /
...
6. (Optional) To use the JMSAdapter with the Message Service, you
must install and configure a JMS provider (such as activeMQ or openJMS)
for use with Tomcat.
7. Restart Tomcat.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: BlazeDS use secure channel when loaded over https.
You might put something like the following code in a preinitialize event
handler:
const reUrl:RegExp =
/(http|https):\/\/(([^:]+)(:([...@]+))?@)?([^:\/]+)(:([0-9]{2,5}))?(\/([\w#!:.?+=%...@!\-\/]+))?/;
const appUrl:String = Application.application.url;
const parts:Array = reUrl.exec(appUrl);
if (!parts) throw new Error(Invalid URL: + appUrl);
if (parts[1] == http )
{
const channels:XMLList = ServerConfig.xml..channels.channel;
for (var channel:String in channels)
{
if
(channels[channe...@type==mx.messaging.channels.SecureAMFChannel)
{
channels[channe...@type=mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel;
}
}
}
This will, on the preinitialize event, grab the url the app is being called
from, parse it with a regular expression, check to see if it's being called
from http rather than https, and modify the channels accordingly to operate
on a regular AMFChannel instead of a SecureAMFChannel.

Hi all,
We are nearing the end of a development cycle. One thing that I just
noticed is that my application is talking over http instead of https when
the application is loaded from a https domain.
In live we will not have any http element of the domain active, only
https. However locally there is no https component. Is there any way of
loading off a secure channel when the flash file was loaded via https and a
non secure channel otherwise?
Otherwise I'm going to have to change all the channels to secure for
deployment, and no longer run the application locally.

Depending on your environment that would be a great option. It doesn't work for us because our Flex apps live within a federated portal environment.

I have to agree - Adobe really needs to step up and solve a major problem they have in supporting customer - We have Platinum Support and for almost every case we post we have to chase down some kind of response with emails and phone calls. They do answer the enterprise phone line in less then 2 min but not much happens after that.

Hi,
Searched the forum but cannot find an answer to my problem. Please look at
the code and offer some advice.
My code is called Highlight.mxml if I put it in a normal VBox container and
call setText it sizes correctly.
If I create it as a child in my own component which extends UIComponent, I
cannot get it to size at all, its always width = 0 even though I do see
measuredWidth reported correctly.
I wanted this component to size itself based on what is inside the textfield.
So if it is a child of my component I still would like it to be the size of
the text.

[flexcoders] Building Multidimensional array for AdvancedDataGrid
Hi, I'm trying to create a hierarchical collection for my AdvancedDataGrid. My array will be made up of DTOs. As of right now there are only two groups and I try to build the array like this: var masterArray:Array = new Array([],[]); masterArray[0] = categoryDTOColl[0]; masterArray[0][0] = gaugeDTOColl; masterArray[1] = categoryDTOColl[1]; masterArray[1][0] = trendDTOColl; The groups will be the 'name' property in the categoryDTOColl. The renderProviders will display the gaugeDTOColl and trendDTOColl info. So, when I run the code above, I get the error message: 'Cannot create property 0 on CategoryDTO'. Obviously, I'm creating the array incorrectly but am unsure how. I've searched online but haven't found much luck. Thanks in advance, Matt

It may depend on the issue you have. You may be more successful if you reach out to the user group manager of an Adobe group of the area you have a problem with and see if they can get a point of contact at Adobe.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Is Adobe Customer Support (or worse yet adobe) falling apart
Whether or not you answer the phone cant be issue dependent. And we are talking about customer service issues not support issues. Customer service (issues like installation serial numbers and such) should be swift. After all its like taking someone's money and then not delivering the product. Its almost like stealing. The product is not usable without the issue being resolved. On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 1:46 PM, Magnus Lassi magnus.la...@gmail.comwrote: It may depend on the issue you have.

[flexcoders] Re: HBox not sizing properly...how to kick it in the head
Thanks for the reply, Alex. measuredWidth measuredHeight are 0. explicitWidth explicitHeight are NaN. The parameters are both 0. The parent that this guy is getting added to is UIComponent (which happens to be a complex item renderer), I'm not sure if that could be playing into this? Out of curiosity, I overrode height, explictHeight and measuredHeight in the component (my class that extends Hbox) and set a breakpoint in each of them--they never get called.

[flexcoders] Custom Menu class with a Mask
Hello,
I'm trying to create a menu that has rounded corners similar to the
following example:

asking/comment-page-1/

://blog.flexmonkeypatches.com/2007/10/08/flex-rounded-menues-using-maski\
ng/comment-page-1/
The only difference is that I'm showing the Menu with a PopUpButton. So
far this is what I have for my custom Menu:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import mx.controls.Menu;
import mx.events.MenuEvent;
public class MyMenu extends Menu {
public function MyMenu() {
super();
addEventListener(menuShow, onMenuShow);
}
private function onMenuShow(e:MenuEvent):void {
callLater(maskRoundedCorners,[e]);
}
private function maskRoundedCorners(e:MenuEvent):void {
var menu:Menu = e.menu as Menu;
menu.cacheAsBitmap=false;
if (!menu.mask){
var maskx:uint = menu.x;
var masky:uint = menu.y;
var maskw:uint = menu.getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth();
var maskh:uint = menu.getExplicitOrMeasuredHeight();
var rad:int = menu.getStyle(cornerRadius) * 2;
var roundRect:Sprite = new Sprite();
roundRect.graphics.beginFill(0xFF);
roundRect.graphics.drawRoundRect(maskx,masky,maskw,maskh,rad);
roundRect.graphics.endFill();
menu.mask = roundRect;
}
}
}
}
Can anyone help me out with what I'm missing...I'm not sure if i need to
override any of the Menu classes functions.
When I load my example the:
addEventListener(menuShow, onMenuShow);
gets fire but when i click the PopUpButton to show the menu the
onMenuShow function is not being fired and the regular menu is being
display with out the rounded corners.
Any help on this is appreciated.
Thank you,

[flexcoders] Expand/Collapse on OLAPDatagrid?
Is there anyway to get the first hierarchical column of the OLAPDataGrid to display node icons and expand/collapse a la ADG? TIA, Mic.
[flexcoders] SOLVED: Building Multidimensional array for AdvancedDataGrid
This is how you create a multidimensional array for an AdvancedDataGrid:
masterArray = [{category:
categoryDTOColl[0].name,chartData:[{caption:gaugeCaptionDTOColl,gauge:gaugeDTOColl}]},
{category:
categoryDTOColl[1].name,chartData:[{caption:trendCaptionDTOColl,gauge:trendDTOColl}]}];
I was doing it completely wrong before. Hope this helps somebody.
The odd thing with using mx:hierarchicalData instead of converting flat data
with a Grouping Collection is that you can't style the grouped row.
With a grouping collection you can extend the AdvancedDataGridGroupItemRenderer
and re-position the disclosureIcon, etc..but when using hierchical data, you
can't...or at least I haven't figured it out. It's because you can't extend
AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer with any styling.

Hi,
I'm trying to create a hierarchical collection for my AdvancedDataGrid. My
array will be made up of DTOs. As of right now there are only two groups and
I try to build the array like this:
var masterArray:Array = new Array([],[]);
masterArray[0] = categoryDTOColl[0];
masterArray[0][0] = gaugeDTOColl;
masterArray[1] = categoryDTOColl[1];
masterArray[1][0] = trendDTOColl;
The groups will be the 'name' property in the categoryDTOColl. The
renderProviders will display the gaugeDTOColl and trendDTOColl info.
So, when I run the code above, I get the error message: 'Cannot create
property 0 on CategoryDTO'. Obviously, I'm creating the array incorrectly but
am unsure how. I've searched online but haven't found much luck.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

what i am expecting that as soon as i run my flex application i should
see
System.out.println(getIndexList Executing);
System.out.println(getIndexProfileList Executing);
System.out.println(getIndexTradingDatesList Executing);
System.out.println(getIndexValues Executing);
but i see
System.out.println(getIndexList Executing);
System.out.println(getIndexList End Executing);
System.out.println(getIndexProfileList Executing);

System.out.println(getIndexTradingDatesList Executing);
System.out.println(getIndexTradingDatesList End Executing);
System.out.println(getIndexValues Executing);

I should see all the method executing simultaneously.

the same sequence of order in which they are called. I am 100% sure
that
my first method(getIndexList) takes lot of time. So while getIndexList
is executing then i should also see that atleast one of the other
methods are being executed simulataneously. But this is not happening
as
expected. None of the other methods is able to recieve the request
while
getIndexList is processing.
All my java methods are static. I don't think this should cause any
issue.

I don't understand. Each call _IS_ a separate request. Even though
Flex batches them up together, each remoteObject call hits the server

a separate request. They will return asynchronously. This is what you

[flexcoders] vert scroll fix for Satish T J's PivotComponent?
Found exactly what I need in this amazing component, which is basically unusable as there is no vertical scroll of the grid when the rows increase. Has anybody figured out a fix for this? The author actually works for Adobe, and I find it hard to believe that there have been no fixes to it for 18 months, and that Adobe has not taken this component and run with it . a useable version would make great presentation to the corporate world. TIA, Mic. I am going through the source now to see where the problem is, but wonder if someone has already found it?
RE: [flexcoders] Re: HBox not sizing properly...how to kick it in the head
When are you looking at those properties? measuredWidth/Height don't get set until the measure() method is called. If they stay at 0, then the component will not have any size. Did you set %width/height instead? Maybe we need to see the code.

The parameters are both 0. The parent that this guy is getting added to is UIComponent (which happens to be a complex item renderer), I'm not sure if that could be playing into this? Out of curiosity, I overrode height, explictHeight and measuredHeight in the component (my class that extends Hbox) and set a breakpoint in each of them--they never get called. The width and height of this component is never explicitly set because I want it to be as big as the HBox. thanks! --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.commailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui aha...@... wrote: In updateDisplayList, see if the parameters are 0.
