Re: [flexcoders] Double click on Datagrid cell
Could you try to declare the double click event on the datagrid, i.e.
mx:DataGrid id=myDataGrid doubleClick=yourDoubleClickFunction()
mx:columns
.
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
and in your script, declare the function
private function yourDoubleClickFunction():void
{
// Place your codes here..
}
HTH.

Subject: [flexcoders] Double click on Datagrid cell
Hi,
I'm developing an application where I'm using a datagrid that shows some
information from an xml. Every cell in the grid is of the form
itemRenderer
compoment
Vbox
HBox
Text/ //some text goes within this block
Text/ //some text goes within this block
Text/ //some text goes within this block
/Hbox
/VBox
/component
/itemRenderer
I have set a function call for the datagrid on ItemDoubleClick event; and this
even gets triggered only when i double click on any TEXT that is on the cell;
and NOT on any part of the cell. However, I would like to have this triggered
when the user clicks anywhere in the cell.
Sombody please help,
Thanks!!
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Regex: match a specific word.
/^my(other)?filename$/i should match myfilename and myotherfilename,
then inform user the filename they typed is not allowed.
Btw, square brackets are used to match a set of characters (unordered) not a
string, and ^ $ outside brackets match beginning and end of lines.

[flexcoders] MouseLeave won't fire if mouse is down when leaving the stage in IE8
Under IE8/FP10/Vista/FB3.2 MouseLeave fires immediately when the mouse leaves the stage when the mouse is up but it nevers fires at all if the mouse is down, even if subsequently released while off stage it won't fire. What I have found is about 50% of the time when the mouse leaves the stage mouse move events will continue to fire, in that situation a mouse up will also fire when the button is eventually released. The other 50% of the time the mouse move events stop the moment you leave the stage and in that situation there will be no mouse up or mouse leave. (this is then a real problem as you can release the mouse and move back on stage and it is still dragging) I just can't get anything to reliably work under IE8/FP10 to stop dragging after the mouse leave the stage. Anyone have a combination they KNOW works?
[flexcoders] Testing tools for Flex applications
I have been asked to produce a list of testing tools for the Flex applications I am developing. These testing tools can be commercial or open-source and would need to address the following: data loss protection, sql injection, vulnerability testing, code base vulnerabilities and compiled code scanning. Can the group suggest some good tools for these type tests?

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.

All my java methods are static. I don't think this should cause any

However I have not succeeded in omitting the textLayout classes from the compiler. I have tried several options unsuccessfully, the one I thought would work for sure was -external-library-path.

Re: [flexcoders] Preventing SWF from dis-assembling

[flexcoders] Semi-collapsible AdvancedDataGrid
Hi, I have an AdvancedDataGrid. When you expand a row, a horizontal list of charts displays. The row is about 200px tall. When you collapse the row, I don't want it to collapse all the way. Instead, I'd like to collapse it to about 50px tall and render a much smaller version of the chart ( a thumbnail ). Is this possible? Do I have to override the displayItemsExpanded() method? Or, can I have some rows not be groups? Any tips are very much appreciated. Thank you.
RE: [flexcoders] Preventing SWF from dis-assembling
Rohit, At one point I had lost some Flex source code for a particular project and used one of the publicly available SWF de-compilation tools for such out there. It 'worked' but realize that your MXML will not be recovered, only the AS code that exists behind it. Frankly, from the perspective of re-doing a project, the AS source code wasn't that useful to me. I ended up re-coding it from scratch. So, I'm not sure what you're trying to protect exactly but de-compilation isn't going deliver your Flex project to anyone, ready to be re-compiled. Possibly someone might know otherwise, my experience with SWF de-compilation is limited. Modules are another possible approach, where your code is loaded at run time and you have some sort of scheme to allow them to be downloaded to the shell application at runtime, based upon credentials.

[flexcoders] Re: Custom Menu class with a Mask
What you are trying to do is not just a simple change to a few items. This is a
fairly major undertaking. You will have to extend the PopUpButton class. This
class does not have a getMenuAt method to override so you will have to figure
out a way to encapsulate the functionality you need. Also, PopUpButton does not
have a menuShow event. You would need to listen for a DropdownEvent.

[flexcoders] Don't understand how to use deferred instantiation
I am having trouble understanding how to use deferred instantiation. I have a project with a viewstack, and the viewstack has a lot of canvas containers for different pages that are activated according to user selection on a menubar. Each page inside the canvas is actually one or two components. The problem is that each of these components has some custom code attached to the creationComplete event that loads external string files. What I am seeing is that all containers and the components are initializing when the application loads, and all string files are being loaded, regardless of the current viewstack view. This is creating a serious performance problem. To test the child controls, I added some alerts inside the page components as well (such as a label) that are attached to creationComplete and addedToStage. Both events are firing when the app loads, for all viewstack containers. I don't understand this. What exactly is being deferred? Do all components/child components/controls go through the initialization process and fire creationComplete, regardless of whether they are visible? Can someone please enlighten me on how to use this correctly?

Thanks Darrell and Alex,
after I read Alex's post I realized that I was using some of the TLF classes in
the first frame. I moved them into the second frame, and it still includes
them.
Now I just re-read Darrell's post and am wondering if you meant literally the
last frame? I have 4 frames, can I only use the RSL classes on the 4th frame?
Or were you just assuming a 2 frame movie?
Currently I am using the classes on the 2nd frame (which is what I would like
to do ideally).
If I compile using ANT should I be sure to override something that is set in
the flex-config.xml? Here is the latest compile script that I have been trying
unsuccessfully:

What I have found is about 50% of the time when the mouse leaves the stage mouse move events will continue to fire, in that situation a mouse up will also fire when the button is eventually released. The other 50% of the time the mouse move events stop the moment you leave the stage and in that situation there will be no mouse up or mouse leave. (this is then a real problem as you can release the mouse and move back on stage and it is still dragging) I just can't get anything to reliably work under IE8/FP10 to stop dragging after the mouse leave the stage. Anyone have a combination they KNOW works?
Re: [flexcoders] Don't understand how to use deferred instantiation
That's not true. It only loads everything when the app loads if creationPolicy is set to all . ( http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/core/Container.html#creationPolicy ).

[flexcoders] Hover Event over Text
Hi All, Is there some way in Flex to have an event fire when the cursor hovers over a hyperlink? I don't want to use the TextEvent because that is only relevant to the click event. I need to make something happen when the mouse just hovers over text. Thanks in advance... David
[flexcoders] Re: Regex: match a specific word.
try looking at this site. as well as looking at lookahead and look behind you may want to look at word boundaries and negation. http://www.regular-expressions.info/lookaround.html Your problem is that you need to match anything valid that is NOT either of big or small (ignoring case) because the validator gives a message on no match. it would be easier for you if the error was on match. so you either change your expression to match anything but those two words- although that will not guarantee it is a valid filename unless you add more conditions. Or you could abandon the validator altogther and do your own validation which gives an error IF you find those words on their own- probably much easier.

[flexcoders] HTML in text control
I have made two applications:
1. Stores text in a MySQL database. I use RichTextEditor to make the text, and
then stores the text in the database vith all the HTML tags.
2. The other application is a private homepage that loads the text from the
database. I use mx:text controls to display the text.
When I bind the receiving input variable from the database to the text control
using the text-property, the text control fills up nicely... but with
html-coded text. When I bind the input variable from the database to the Text
control using the htmlText-property, the text control is empty... or no visable
text.
I have tried using both mx-tags and actionscript, but with the same result.
Have anybody a clue how to resolve this issue?
Here are my text control:
mx:Text id=dreamText
width=100% height=100%
htmlText={FinalText}

RE: [flexcoders] Hover Event over Text
With TextField-based text in MX components, I don't think this is easy. You'd probably have to use mouseMove to track the mouse within a TextField and low-level TextFIeld APIs to discover what range of characters the mouse is over. With TLF in Spark components, I think it is easier because a hyperlink is represented by a LinkElement instance, and it dispatches rollOver and rollOut events. - Gordon From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of stldvd Sent: Monday, September 14, 2009 1:25 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Hover Event over Text Hi All, Is there some way in Flex to have an event fire when the cursor hovers over a hyperlink?

[flexcoders] anonymous access to bugs.adobe.com gone?

There is still a message in there that says I should be able to search without registration, so I hope this is a temporary configuration fault. Can anyone else access it without logging in?
[flexcoders] Re: Using RSLs in an actionscript only project
I moved all references to the textLayout Framework (TLF) to the last frame, and now it compiles without the TLF files included. I seem to successfully download the RSL swz from Adobe. Some success! Now I am faced with two questions: 1) I daisy chain frames using the [Frame] metatag - the document class is the class loaded on the first frame. I want the main application class to be the class on the second frame, because I want it to have immediate access to stage etc. I can work around this - but how can I do it properly? I looked at the Flex code a bit - it uses SystemManager and has some references to the Application class. What is the minimum that I would need to do to make the second frame the main application class? 2) In order to exclude the swc from the compiler I had to refer to the classes on the last frame and not before (is this right - it seems to be the case and Darrell stated this). I like the streaming frame based structure for continuing to download assets and classes as opposed to making further http requests. Is it possible to use a different method to append more frames to the main timeline? Thanks again, Josh
[flexcoders] Re: Don't understand how to use deferred instantiation
I am aware of the creationPolicy property, and it is not set anywhere in the application. As a test, I also created a small test project with a tab navigator with canvases, and with a label inside them. When tracing the preinit, init, and creationcomplete events, only the initial tab fires creationComplete as I would expect. Doing the same in my application results in all components firing their creationComplete, which loads many, many files. I cannot figure this out. Something is making all components instantiate, and it is not the policy setting. Does anyone know of any other reason that would force a nav container to instantiate all children? Bindings?
