Re: [flexcoders] Alert messages in multi window AIR bug in framework?
Hi, I've run into this problem too. I've attempted the solution in the original email. However when I tried it I also had to delete the import to core/ version.as as it didn't seem to work. I'm not sure what this import does as it seemed to work correctly without it. Also if this is in Jira could someone provide me with a link to Jira so I can vote for the bug.

Re: [flexcoders] AMFPHP Security?
You shouldn't send sensitive data to begin with, you need to calculate it on server and call saveHighScore() without parameters, so only server will know what the score was. No matter what your client technology is, the client cannot be trusted.

you can do though is like this: add creationComplete handler to the
repeating components and collect them into vector / array / dictionary /

mx:Array id=labels/

mx:Label
mx:creationComplete
var event:Event = arguments[0] as Event;
this.labels.push(event.currentTarget);

Hi Amy, I just returned from vacation and picked up the issue again. It appears to me that Text and TextArea components do not work as item renderers in Flash Player 10.

I recognize your name from InsideRia. I tried your suggestions, but the renderers are still blank. I tried making a very simple item renderer based on the Text component which just sets the Text.htmlText value to data.dataField. It is still blank even though I set a trace statement right after setting the value, and the values appear in the log. Are you tracing getExplicitOrMeasuredHeight() and getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth? I wouldn't think looking at the text itself would be that useful. Instead of using a renderer that is based on Text, have you considered just _using_ Text and then using labelField to tell it what property to use? I have no idea if the engineers are feeding the labelField text into the Text's text or htmlText property in their implementation of IDropInListItemRenderer, but it's worth a shot. HTH; Amy

Local item has changes to properties that conflict with remote change. instructing that my local joined table (that I read in from the database) is now diffrent from the current state of the table (on the server). This Data Management is getting to be a pain, does anybody know how to get around this proble or simply turn it off.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: AMFPHP Security?
If you want it to be fairly untouchable, have all your game logic on the server. The only thing the swf does is gather input, and display state. That way, nobody can spoof the game logic (which is pretty much your issue). Gk.
Re: [flexcoders] Re: AMFPHP Security?
Exactly, what Gk said. You can make it difficult to forge the data on client, but you cannot 100% prevent it from being cracked, so, better, keep the score on the server.
[flexcoders] Re: AMFPHP Security?
How about computing the hash based on the date and time when someone invokes the high score? Time can be +- 15 seconds to account for the amount of time to get to the server. The server computes the same hash when it receives the call and then compares. Someone could possibly grab the hash in Charles and plug it in to some code to call it but probably not in 15 seconds. By then the hash will be out of date. Or, you could send a date/time string hash as well as the high score hash and make sure that is within your parameters.

Kelly, valid point and I've already spent considerable time optimizing things to reduce the size and improve the response time of individual requests. Pagination is only one of the scenarios. There are situations such as during application start up where routine requests can take longer than you think they should. Bottom line, however, it is the decision of the developer to have longer requests or not, and this should not be pre-determined for them by the framework - that's why you have the requestTimeout parameter in the first place. It works as expected on the Mac, just not on Windows.

However, when it was deployed to a security environment using https, I kept on getting channel disconnect error. The project was developed following Zend Framework examples. Zend automatically created skeleton services on the client side. I tried to override chanelset in the generated services by Zend to point to https instead of http. It did not work. Can somebody please help? Thanks!
Re: [flexcoders] AMFPHP Security?
Use a token system. Accessing the entry page, preferably by the submission and validation of a username and password, have the server randomly generate a token and store it in php (or whatever your server side language is written in) session variables. For any other data request of any kind, query the session token and validate it prior to accepting any data or executing any other code. This, of course, should be in addition to any sql injection correction you do on data received (side note). Happy coding! Jm Sent from my iPad

[flexcoders] Re: Flex charts to powerpoint
I need to post this on my blog, but the way I did it was with an AIR app, though a Flex app could do it too. It wasnt ideal, but worked. Basically, I took my Flex chart and captured it as a bitmap, then transcoded that to base64. MS PowerPoint 2007 supports the .mht file format which is basically XML. I saved a PPT template in mht format. In the template, I set up where my chart images would go and sized it correctly. In the image name I inserted marker text I'd later replace with a token. Save the file as MHT, and then open it and search for the images you added by the keywords you used. You will see the images are in base64. Replace the base64 text with a token, like [_token_1_]. Save that file as xml. Then your Air app can read in that file, replace the tokens with the base64 version of the chart images you have, and then resave the file to disk with a .ppt extension. When Power Point opens the file, it will show it as a normal PPT, and the user can save it again as ppt if they like. The hardest part is sizing the images properly and it sucks that I had to create templates first. With enough time, you can decipher the PPT decks start and end of slide and make your Flex app smarter about creating each slide. hth- Dustin --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Lexter halfbaked11...@... wrote: Hello guys !!!

Re: [flexcoders] Why does Flex 4 hate modules?
Right now the project is basically 2 mxml pages. I can send the project to you if you want, and have time, to take a look at it. Just let me know where to send it.Thanks! On 8/11/2010 1:24 PM, Alex Harui wrote: In Flex 4, styles became per-module. That has the greatest chance of causing problems. To figure out exactly how to solve your problem would require debugging into it. If you are using a module project in FB, you may not be able to capture the link-report from the main app. You will have to buld from the command line or use ANT. If you can strip everything down to a really small test case, I might have time to look.

I only copied the parts that mentioned the module. As far as I know, they share no common elements at all. I can include the full report if it means I can finally get an answer to this problem. If it is a case that something create a negitive width or height, should I add a minHeight and minWidth to everything as a standard when creating elements and containers? What happened in Flex 4 that changed this since I never had this problem in Flex 3? On 8/5/2010 12:51 PM, Alex Harui wrote: Because I see _AdminPortal_FlexInit and _AdminPortal_mx_core_FlexModuleFactory, I'm guessing this is the link-report for the _AdminPortal module, not the main app. If you just add -link-report to the compiler options, both the main app and module will output the link-report to the same file, and since modules compile after apps, the module's link-report overwrites the apps. You have to find a way to only tickle an app rebuild or do what I do and just use ANT or command line.

[flexcoders] Custom Layout
I created a custom layout called StairsLayout
package {
import mx.core.ILayoutElement;
import spark.components.supportClasses.GroupBase;
import spark.layouts.supportClasses.LayoutBase;
public class StairsLayout extends LayoutBase {
public function StairsLayout() {
super();
}
override public function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number):void {
super.updateDisplayList(w,h);
var layoutElement:ILayoutElement;
var count:uint = target.numElements;
for(var i:int = 0; i count; i++){
layoutElement = target.getElementAt(i);
var _x:Number = 50 * i;
var _y : Number = 50 * i;
layoutElement.setLayoutBoundsPosition(_x,_y);
}
}
}
}
And I am using the layout on some images

what kind of notifictions do you want. i guess you want to query your backend every 30 or 60 seconds..
