RE: [SPAM] [flexcoders] Accessing a child component,, specifically a checkbox, from an mxml component

[Tracy Spratt]

If you cast the return as EditTaskBox, you should be able to reference the
public members.

 

You could also do this by setting a public property on EditTaskBox and then
binding the checkbox to that property.

Subject: [SPAM] [flexcoders] Accessing a child component,, specifically a
checkbox, from an mxml component

 

  

First of all, thanks for the responses concerning the List Items-detecting.
Hopefully those responses made it. I'm on the Probation list where it takes
a while to get approved.
--

This next particular issue is really disturbing me, but it's probably pretty
simple.

I have a mxml file containing a custom component, called EditTaskBox. It's a
TitleWindow and it's in my "components" folder.

In main.mxml, I have this to create a custom popup:

var win:TitleWindow = TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,
EditTaskBox, true));

( I need to set win.title = "something", so I cast the return to a
TitleWindow type. )

There is a checkbox in that component, a nested child, but I can't seem to
control it in Actionscript from main.mxml. 

I can't use EditTaskBox.mycheckbox, because it Understandably complains with
"possibly undefined project through reference with static type class. And
trying win.mycheckbox doesn't work of course, either.

My googling turned up empty.
Hoping someone knew about this.

RE: [flexcoders] creationPolicy and createComponentsFromDecsriptors

[Alex Harui]

There won't be any issues with accessing the results of 
createComponentsFromDescriptors unless there are sub-containers with their own 
creation policies that don't create something you'd expect to be there.

I can't picture any renderer needing 15 layout containers at the same time.  
Using fewer containers for more than one purpose will be a significant 
performance gain.  The fewer containers and components you ever create, the 
better off you'll be.  Less is more.

Subject: [flexcoders] creationPolicy and createComponentsFromDecsriptors



Hi,

I'm working on an app that works with a lot of search results and item 
renderers to display the search results. The renderer is usually a VBox with a 
lot of HBoxes or GridRows within it. The developer who put these together just 
used includeInLayout=false for the HBoxes or GridRows that weren't being used. 
This seems to be a bad idea since there are usually 25-30 renderers on the 
screen at a time, each with about 10-15 unused layout containers.

I am going through and optimizing them now, and started setting the 
creationPolicy to none on all the items, and where they were previosuly being 
made visible, I call createComponentsFromDescriptors() on the layout container. 
This seems to cut rendering time in about half. I am wondering if there might 
be any unforseen issues I may have using this method. In the code, the 
textfields(which are the children of the layout containers) are being populated 
in the very next line after I call the createComponentsFromDescriptors() 
method. I am a little surprised that the container's children are initialized 
so quickly to be able to be accessed and take properties. Is this safe to do? 
Or should I listen for some initialization events before setting any properties 
on the child components as a failsafe?

Thanks in Advance,

Adam

[SPAM] Re: [flexcoders] Can't bind XMLListCollection to Datagrid

[jc_bad28]

After googling for another couple of days and trying to find a namespace 
workaround.. which I never could get anything to work. Moreover, there's a 
chance the pre-fix could change depending on the server status (ie datas6 could 
be datas1 or datas2, etc.) I just took the route of stripping the namespace.  
Works great now.  Code is below:

private function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
var xmlResult:XMLList = 
XMLList(event.result);
var xmlSource:String = 
xmlResult.toString();

//Strip namespace
xmlSource = 
xmlSource.replace(/<[^!?]?[^>]+?>/g, removeNamspaces);
xmlResult = XMLList(xmlSource);

//wrap XMLList in XMLListCollection
var schedData:XMLListCollection = new 
XMLListCollection(xmlResult.children());  

//Update Grid
gc.source = schedData;
gc.refresh();   

}

public function removeNamspaces(...rest):String
{
rest[0] = 
rest[0].replace(/xmlns[^"]+\"[^"]+\"/g, "");
var attrs:Array = 
rest[0].match(/\"[^"]*\"/g);
rest[0] = rest[0].replace(/\"[^"]*\"/g, 
"%attribute value%");
rest[0] = 
rest[0].replace(/(<\/?|\s)\w+\:/g, "$1");
while (rest[0].indexOf("%attribute value%") 
> 0)
{
rest[0] = rest[0].replace("%attribute 
value%", attrs.shift());
}
return rest[0];
}

[flexcoders] Re: AIR Performance

[reflexactions]

"If you write it well, you will not have any CPU or memory issues"
I am sorry but that is just so far from reality it is ridiculous.

AIR does not just have 'the same memory and CPU issue as every other app'.

The issues are well known and accepted so I don't where you come up with that 
notion, even Adobe have talked about how they are going to address memory 
issues in the next version and Flex4 has throttling code built in to try and 
make a PC usable when an AIR is in the background something not 'every other 
app' usually requires.

When some guy is asking about makeing a decison that might affect the future of 
his company it really doesnt help to stick you head in the sand and pretend 
everything is hunky dory when it isn't.

I hope we see some responses to this. I like the idea of non-bindable and
immutable DTOs, but isn't it true that if you have a very large list, you've
got substantial memory overhead in the conversion of those DTOs to the
bindable objects. Or are people tackling that with virtualized collections?

[flexcoders] Binding & Model Objects

I happened across the slides from a presentation that Sean Chirstmann did at 
Max 2008 about memory optimization in AIR 
(http://www.craftymind.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/sean_christmann_optimizing_air_final.pdf).

One of his points was NOT to make DTOs or AMF objects bindable.  I've been 
making my AMF model objects bindable for a long time and I just wanted to get 
second opinions from the list.

I can see the point - if model objects are bindable and are bound using strong 
references to display object properties using {}, it could result in object 
instances persisting when they should be available to the GC.  If true, I have 
to do significant re-factoring.

I'm looking for corroboration here - anyone care to share their thoughts on 
this?

Gregor:

Regarding memory and CPU, I was only going on the following article:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/articles/framerate_throttling.html?devcon=f12

Regarding modules . . . I understand the value of using modules in
web-based flex app, but was not sure of its value in an AIR app.

So you are saying essentially if the AIR app is large, go ahead and 
use modules?

Hi All,

I need to show a list of information for the items in the
datagrid/advancedDatagrid.

the output text is ok but it contains a url that needs to be displayed as a
htmlLink so that when user clicks on it, the browser can goto that url.

for example it's like this:

"
URL: www.nabble.com
..."

Is there a way to do it?

thanks

[flexcoders] Button and custom FocusSkins not raising Click events

[taude1]

Hi All,
  I have a button with a custom skin and a custom focusSkin.  when tabbing into 
the button and the focus skin is showing, it doesn't raise click events.
  I know that I'm supposed to have a "HOLE" in my focus skin.  Not just 
transparent pixels and what not.  However, I'm not really sure how to do this 
PROGRAMATICALY -- I've tried setting the Alpha to 0 and to even try all black 
(0x000) and all white (oxff), but still can't get it to work.

  My problems are similar to: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-15363.

   Again, this is a programatic skin that requires me drawing the border.

Can this be done?  Should be pretty trivial but I'm stuck.

Thanks

Great thanks - that gets me going in the right direction, however, digging 
through all that example sourcecode is like finding a needle in the haystack.  
I did find some itemRenderer code, but not quite sure if it was the right one, 
and also not sure how to make the highlight I draw appear on a specific place 
in the chart based on the collum name.  Anything you can point me to?  Thanks, 
much appreciated.

You can create a custom line renderer and change the color of the line for
the section selected.  Check out this sampler for ideas:

[flexcoders] Highlighting a Chart Collumn?

[jmerrill_2001]

Is there a way to highlight either an entire y axis in a line chart collumn 
based on a value, or at least, a single data point in the line chart?  

For example, I have a line chart and a datagrid below it.  I'd like to 
highlight a collumn in the line chart based on a matching value in what the 
user selected in the datagrid.  So, if say, they selected an item in the 
datagrid which contained a value of "SP3", I'd like to highlight somehow 
visually the entire vertical Y collumn in my line chart maked as "SP3" (or at 
least the matching points int the horizontal lines that intersect it).  

I've googled this and checked the docs to death and haven't figured out a way 
to do this.  Thanks,

RE: [flexcoders] AIR Performance

[Gregor Kiddie]

AIR apps have exactly the same memory and CPU issues as every
application written in every language ever.

 

If you write it well, you will not have any CPU or memory issues.

If you write it badly, you will have CPU and memory issues.

 

This is true regardless of the technology involved.

 

Answering your question more directly, yes you can use AIR for the
project, it scales quite well when you start using modules, etc.

 

Gk.

Good morning all,

I have read that AIR 1.5 apps have some memory and CPU issues. 

This may or may not be fixed/improved in AIR 2.0.

I am considering a large scale app that will have a hundred plus 
screens. It is AIR because of the requirement for local database.

While I know it can be programmed, my question is should I and/or 
can I use AIR for this size project?

Thoughts, recommendations, etc.

Thanks,

[flexcoders] undo a matrix transformation

[flexaustin]

So in my app I am using the senocular transformtool so that a user can rotate, 
scale, skew a sprite object by applying a matrix transformation to it.

I need to allow the user to undo this. How would I go about undoing this? I 
tried to just invert() the altered matrix that gets applied to the sprite 
object, but when I do that sprite ends up off screen in some other location and 
the none of he rotation or scaled stuff is undone.

I also tried to invert() and the concate the inverted matrix with the the 
current matrix of the sprite, but that didn't work either?

Any suggestions?

Re: [flexcoders] to set icon daymamically on tree node

Hi, may be you can use Ben Stucki's IconUtility class, or something similar
: http://blog.benstucki.net/?p=42
I made a little improvement to this class, you can find it here:

[flexcoders] Accessing a child component,, specifically a checkbox, from an mxml component

[steveb805]

First of all, thanks for the responses concerning the List Items-detecting.  
Hopefully those responses made it. I'm on the Probation list where it takes a 
while to get approved.
--

This next particular issue is really disturbing me, but it's probably pretty 
simple.

I have a mxml file containing a custom component, called EditTaskBox. It's a 
TitleWindow and it's in my "components" folder.

In main.mxml, I have this to create a custom popup:

var win:TitleWindow = TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, EditTaskBox, 
true));

( I need to set win.title = "something", so I cast the return to a TitleWindow 
type. )

There is a checkbox in that component, a nested child, but I can't seem to 
control it in Actionscript from main.mxml.  

I can't use EditTaskBox.mycheckbox, because it Understandably complains with 
"possibly undefined project through reference with static type class.   And 
trying win.mycheckbox doesn't work of course, either.

My googling turned up empty.
Hoping someone knew about this.

[flexcoders] printing to a word doc

Good Day,
  I have a flex 3 app that uses ColdFusion8 as the middle-ware, and all is
fine.  Where I am having issues is with printing, I call a cfc that has a

me in the right direction that would be great.

[flexcoders] Re: About Frame definition

[thelordsince1984]

Hi primo411,

thank you for your reply!

I've just read that article...ok I understand the frametime concept...but it 
doesn't explain what a frame is..I would know about frame understood as unit 
logic into swf files...

So, could you explain me what a frame is?
In particular:
Are there any differences between frame understood as the unit that contains 
actionscript code (like in a Creative Suite) and frame understood as the time 
slot between two consecutive enterframe events?

Thanks in advance

[flexcoders] About Frame definition

[thelordsince1984]

Hi,

Could I have a definition about frames?

I've read about frame life cycle. As I've understood, a Flex application has 
two frames: the first one (FRAME 1) contains the Preloader, the other one 
(FRAME 2) contains the Application?

So, what's a frame? What function do FRAME 1 and FRAME 2 play into a Flex 
Application?
Can I consider a frame like a logic unit which can do thing? FRAME 1 one has 
the job to load (through the SystemManager) the application code and RSL, FRAME 
2 (through the SystemManager) to visualize application on screen and to allow 
the user interaction.

What are the differences (or analogies) between frame understood as the unit 
that contains actionscript code (like in a Creative Suite) and frame understood 
as the time slot between two consecutive enterframe events?

Thanks in advance,
Cheers.
