Re: [flexcoders] My APP momentarily freezes I pass through my A.C. and create my objects.
Is it a very large arraycollection?

If you see my recent posts, I just had this exact same problem, check out the post I just made, if you need more details let me know, i can post the code I used. Since flash is singlethreaded, you can NOT have a progress bar update in a loop. If you want to update a progress bar while you do work, you need to do a little bit of the work, wait a bit, do a little more, wait a bit, etc. Unfortunately, with the flex progress bar component you seem to have wait quite a while for it to update, so I ended up going with a custom one. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com on behalf of MonkeyIsland Sent: Thu 3/4/2010 7:59 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] My APP momentarily freezes I pass through my A.C. and create my objects.

RE: [flexcoders] Trouble with ProgressBar and manual updates.
Unfortunately, same problem with callLater in either pattern.
I was able to solve my issue though, and I did so like this:
-I created my own simple custom component.
-It has one property percentComplete, when this property is set it updates
the property and calls invalidateDisplayList().
-It ovverides updateDisplayList and uses the drawing API to draw a progress bar
there based on percentComplete. And at the end of updateDisplayList It calls
dispatchEvent.
-In my code, instead of listening for a timer, I listen for that event on my
custom progress bar. Every time I hear the event, I addChild and update the
percentComplete.
This works perfectly. Listening for ENTER_FRAME, EXIT_FRAME, RENDER, etc did
not work, so I had to add the custom event.

[flexcoders] advice on making secure calls with BLAZEDS
Hi, I'm looking for a more secure way to send data than using a POST. So, I've been looking into BLAZEDS which seems to be a good option. The issue I have is the client site is HTTP and not HTTPS/SSL. So, I cant really retrieve a user name password from the server to then authenticate with. So I guess the next best thing is getting a session or token from the server and then passing it back to a servlet which at least authenticates the request is coming from the app.. Any suggestions on a more secure approach appreciated. cheers, Matt

[flexcoders] Changing channel endpoint url
Can you change the the endpoint url to point somewhere besides
.../messagebroker/amf?
I'd like to have two amf destination, one pointing to server X(a local server),
and the other to server Y(a remote server). It seems like I should be able to
create two channel-definitions pointing to different urls, but it's not working.
I tried creating the two using urls like:
endpoint
uri=http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amf; .../
endpoint uri=http://10.10.10.10:8080/messagebroker/amf; .../
Upon server startup, I was getting an error stating that messagebroker/amf
was already being used. So I thought, OK, I'll change my url path on the local
server. I tried changing it to
http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/XXXmessagebroker/amf;, and
updated my web.xml to have:
servlet-mapping
servlet-nameMessageBrokerServlet/servlet-name
url-pattern/XXXmessagebroker/*/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping
This didn't work as none of my AMF calls to the local server are working even
though it looks like the endpoint was created successfully, and I can even
navigate to that url in a browser without error.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
GT

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and examples. In my case I decided to pass
in a model with a property into the renderers. The model is passed into the
renderer by specifying it as a property value in the renderer class
factory. The model doesn't ever get replaced after that, but the property
inside the model does. I can't say any solution really strikes my fancy,
but this seemed to be the most appropriate.
Again, thanks for the discussion.

Re: [flexcoders] VideoDisplay - video is playing, but without audio
One of our projects has suffered from a similar issue. We're streaming audio from Flash Media Server, and sometimes the audio will cut out - we still get cue points embedded in the audio, the NetStream object doesn't register any errors, and the rest of the app acts like the audio ends at the right time. We also have a recording aspect to our project, and when the audio cuts out, sometimes it will cut back in after we record something. We've really only noticed this problem when running the app on Windows 7 -- and it's more prevalent when the computer is connected via wireless. Have you noticed any similar patterns in your app? -Brian On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 10:30 PM, joyh2002 joyh2...@yahoo.com wrote: I use VideoDisplay to play videos in my Flex app. The videos are hosted in our local web server. The size of the video is around 10MB to 30MB. I need to play 60 to 80 videos throughout the app. The videos are playing fine, but the audio is missing after playing some videos - not reproducible all the time, but if that happens, all audio stops playing till the end of the app. What could be the issue? any idea?

[flexcoders] Simple search for AdvancedDataGrid
Hi, This is my first post to the group...looking forward to learning and helping!!! I need to have a very simple single row match search for my datagrid, which was very easy to implement by looping through the datagrid's Array until I found a match, then setting the datagrid's index and scroll to that index value. This highlights the selected row. All is well. However, this doesn't work when I use the AdvancedDataGrid's (adg) Grouping function. The index no longer matches, even if I do adg.expandAll() first, and also row that is selected does not highlight. I've seen some very, very complex, heavyweight adg search functions that accomodate partial matches and multiple matching rows. Can anyone point me in the right direction ? Thanks!
[flexcoders] Need effect for ViewStack w/o changing the view
Hi all,
I have a viewstack like this:
mx:ViewStack
mx:Canvas id=view1 hideEffect={fadeOut} showEffect={fadeIn} /
mx:Canvas id=view2 hideEffect={fadeOut} showEffect={fadeIn} /
/mx:ViewStack
The hideEffect and showEffect is triggered when I switch the views. How do I
make the same effect when I change the contect of view1 (without changing the
view from view2 to view1)? I'm already on view1, I change the content of view1,
and need the same effect to signal the user that there are changes to the
content. I don't want to create a new view.
Thanks,
Joy
[flexcoders] Have you checked out FDT 3.5, now supporting MXML ?
It's not over... if you buy FDT 3.5 now you will get FDT4 upgrade for free ! http://www.fdt.powerflasher.com/developer-tools/fdt-3/whats-new/
RE: [flexcoders] Need effect for ViewStack w/o changing the view
when the content changes you can call
fadeIn.play([view1]);
if you want to make it fade out, then fade back in, make a new sequence effect
that contains two fade effects. then call it like above.

[flexcoders] Debugging in Flex Builder and using ant build scripts
Hello, I am curious if it's possible to easily combine the use of ant build scripts and debugging (breakpoints etc.) in Flex Builder. I have written a nice build script and now I wouldlike to be able to hit F9 (Run Debug) to start debugging my application with the swf generated in the build script. Does anyone happen to have experience with this? If so, could you share? Thanks in advance, Weyert
