Re: [flexcoders] Re: filtering an array collection using 2 or 3 textinputs
Wouldn't you have have two or three nested filtering functions? That is, apply the first input's text in the first filter function to AC and add the results to the AC1. Then apply the second input's text in the second filter function that applies to AC1 and add them to AC2, and so on. A little bit of a pain to build, but it should work without any noticeable delays. a On Mon, Mar 4, 2013 at 8:17 AM, ZIONIST stinas...@yahoo.com wrote: ** any help out there... am stuck. -- Andrew Wetmore http://cottage14.blogspot.com/ http://portfolio.cottage14.com https://sites.google.com/site/mvplaywrights/home http://livefrom-studioa.com

[flexcoders] changing view state in an item renderer
Hiya:
My current project is a turn builder for a role playing game. Each turn has 30
actions, and each action may have up to 6 entry fields, which may be dropdown
menus, number spinners, text fields and like that. The actions are in a list,
rendered by a complex itemRenderer.
There are about 80 combinations of itemRenderer controls that I am managing by
view states, and that part is going very well.
Where I am puzzled is this: how do I talk to the list's itemRenderers from
parentApplication? When the turn has been assembled and submitted, I want all
30 itemRenderers to switch back to the basic viewState. I tried something like
this:
for (var i:int = 0; i 30; i++){
theList[i].itemRenderer.currentState = 'action';
}
but the system does not like it.
Any ideas how the parent application can change viewState in a list's item
renderer?
Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: Setting preferences on the browser in the release folder
I don't know how to override the settings, but I'll tell you what I do to handle this. After I have compiled the release build for the first time, I do a save-as on the html file that was created. I save the copy as index.html, since that is what I typically use (it simplifies the url, as you probably know: if I put an index.html file in a folder 'bla' at the sight 'boo.com', its url is simply 'boo.com/bla' [unless someone has changed the server settings]). Then I adjust the index.html file, giving it the title I want and resizing the flash movie if I need to, adding metadata and so on, and save it. That's the file I post to wherever I am putting the project, along with the other generated files in the bin/release folder. When you do another 'export release build', FlashBuilder ignores index.html, so you don't have a problem with it being overwritten. I hope that helps.

[flexcoders] Large number of view states
I am building a complex form, where what you choose in the first dropdown menu determines whether the next control is a text field, number picker, or menu; and the choice there governs the type and options of the third control; and so on to a maximum of six input controls in a single row.

[flexcoders] Change in Behavior of NetStream in AIR 2 (GET to POST)
I was all excited about the release of AIR 2 beta yesterday, with the new
socket support and improved h.264 encoding I was looking forward to
upgrading some applications . So I went and upgraded one of my larger
applications to AIR 2 to start the porting process since it would benefit
the most. Everything went well till I tried to play video from a UPNP
source, I was getting StreamNotFound errors. After a few hours of debugging
and reading the Beta documentation I tracked down the issue, there was a
change in behavior in how a request for videos over HTTP occurs from a GET
to a POST.
I wasn't sure what this came from (AIR 2b or Flash 10.1b) but wondered if
anyone else noticed this small but significant change. I guess my next step
will be creating a bug in JIRA, just wanted to put it out on the list.
Here's the rundown:
- Flex 3.4.1.10084 for both
- Air Versions: 1.5.2 vs 2.0B
- X-Flash-Versions: 10,0,32,18 vs 10,1,50,334
Smallest Reproducible Code:
protected function runTest() : void{
var metaListener : Object = new Object();
var netConn : NetConnection = new NetConnection();
netConn.connect(null);
// init the stream
var stream : NetStream = new NetStream(netConn);
stream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
metaListener.onMetaData = theMeta;
stream.client = metaListener;
stream.play( PUT SOME VIDEO URL HERE );
}
protected function netStatusHandler( event : NetStatusEvent) : void{
trace(netStatusHandler: + event.type + + event.info.code);
}
protected function theMeta(data:Object):void {
trace(Duration: + data.duration + Position: + data.moovposition);
}
Example request from Apache Log:
--- FROM 1.5.2

I have no ideas how to do this more effectively. It’s may done by combination of Consomer/Consomers/Multiconsomer/Producer/Producers/Multiproducer with subtopics, selectors or , may be some logic in custom MessagingAdapter, that operates with uncial ID’s or may be the best choice to have additional RPC destination with some sort of persistence (file, db or shared bean) cause I need to keep track from every connected client.

[flexcoders] Reading an UTF-8 document

[flexcoders] FlexBuilder has forgotten my project's build history
We are about to move from alpha to beta of an AIR application. For the last fifty builds, when I have selected Export Release Build in FlexBuilder, the system has defaulted to the link to the certificate I have been using for the project. The resulting package, when used, knows to check for a previous installation of the app and to offer an update option if it finds one. However...last week I upgraded to version 3.1.0 from 3.0.0 of FlexBuilder. When I tried to export a release build yesterday, the system did not know about the certificate I had been using. The resulting package, when used, did not recognize the previous installation of the app, tried to install, and failed out because there was already an application of the same name at the default installation location. How do I teach the current version of FlexBuilder about the project's history, so I don't have to make all alpha users uninstall their current versions of the application in order to install the new one? Thanks in advance. a
[flexcoders] Foriegn language support with an embeded font - need help
Hello - I currently have a Flex Application in which I have an embedded font (a SWF I created in Flash, and included all the glyphs needed for all the languages this app will support, i.e. - Japanese). In my app, I load in a labels XML file, which has the proper characters in it (English for English, Japanese for Japanese, etc), and use the values from that XML file to populate all my Labels. For whatever reason, only the English characters are working, Japanese and all other languages are not. I'm not exactly sure how I need to handle this - but I thought as long as my embedded font had the proper glyphs it would render the characters - apparently this is not true. Anyone have any experience with this type of set up, and any thoughts on how I can get foriegn language support going? thanks!

I do not see anything wrong with your code. Maybe strip out everything but
the empty canvases and see if that changes the behavior.
But I feel obliged to advise against proceeding down this path. Using the
ViewStack as a dataProvider seems to be a handy shourtcut, but if you ever
want to do anyting a bit more complex, like hiding or disabling a view, this
approach will cause you trouble. You will find yourself buried in
addChild/removeChild code, just to control your UI.
Instead, create a separate dataProvider to drive the tab bar, and manipulate
that directly to control tab bar UI and thus access to the viewstack. I
suspect that will also fix your current problem, whatever it is.

I've come across a strange issue involving the TabBar control. My

reason but have come up short. Below is the posted code. If anyone

Re: [flexcoders] key listeners in air windows
the way I deal with this is to use a switch statement on the currentState:
in init() I call registerGlobalKeyHandler()
which is
private function registerGlobalKeyHandler(): void{
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyHandler);
}
and has this event handler:
private function keyHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void{
//handle the Enter key
if (event.keyCode == 13){
switch (currentState){
case 'login':
if ( loginButton.enabled == true ){
tryLogin();
}
break;
case 'register':
if (registerButton.enabled == true){
tryRegister();
}
break;
...
}
}
}
This gives me a lot of control over what function responds in each part of
the application, and lets me govern a variety of keys in different ways
depending on what page we're on.
You could dispense with the switch statement and have the key click work the
same everywhere.

[flexcoders] Re: Datagrid selected item highlight behavior changes based on dataprovider object
Ryan, thank you. That worked. I understand the globally unique ID
and the benefit, from a Flex perspective, of updating objects while
appearing to Flex to be the same object, as described in the link. I
don't understand why that affects the selected style in the datagrid.
It sounds like another copy of the object behind that row of the
datagrid is being created, and because Flex doesn't realize it's the
same object the row you see loses the knowledge that it is selected
and the selected style. If you have further insight I'd appreciate
it, but bottom line, this fixed it for me and I thank you.

Tim thanks for your response. I have a very simple datagrid

objects.
So far I'm using the work-around of manufacturing untyped objects.

1. if the dataProvider is an ArrayCollection of untyped objects,

While the datagrid knows that a row is selected, the selected row
looks as if it is unselected.
Now it is slightly more complicated in that the User object
extends
another base class and both use the Bindable metadata tag and are
RemoteClassed to Java objects on the server, and have another 30
attributes.. but I'm still stymied. Anyone have a suggestion for a

[flexcoders] Chaining IResponders in a remote call via AsyncToken.addResponder
For any remote call (which is how all real work is done in our app) there are two types of things that need to happen: - Domain logic: updating the model and other stuff related to the domain / data - View logic: displaying messages, showing and hiding progress indicators etc. I was thinking of having a responder to handle the Domain logic, and one for view logic. Both basically need to know what happened in any remote call. So I chain them such that the View asks the Domain Model to do some domain logic. In the low level remote service call code we add these two responders with the Domain Responder first. Then the call happens, and it should fire the domain responder then the view responder. Either one could send notifications or whatever if there are other interested parties. So questions are: - Anyone have experience with this kind of pattern? - Is this a horrible or good idea?

everything else being the same, if I changed the dataProvider of the
datagrid the behavior of the datagrid changed.
1. if the dataProvider is an ArrayCollection of untyped objects, i.e.,
{name:blah,phone:1231231234}, it performs as expected, i.e., when
you click on a row it gains the selected row highlight
2. if the dataProvider is an ArrayCollection of typed objects, i.e.,
User objects with name and phone attributes, it performs differently.
While the datagrid knows that a row is selected, the selected row
looks as if it is unselected.
Now it is slightly more complicated in that the User object extends
another base class and both use the Bindable metadata tag and are
RemoteClassed to Java objects on the server, and have another 30
attributes.. but I'm still stymied. Anyone have a suggestion for a
work-around besides creating untyped objects for every object at
runtime? What would the code look like to force a selected style to
show up for the selected row?
Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: Datagrid selected item highlight behavior changes based on dataprovider object
Tim thanks for your response. I have a very simple datagrid
implementation and yes, simply changing the objects in the datagrid
from untyped to typed alters the behavior of the datagrid with respect
to the look of the selected row. Doesn't matter if I use the objects
returned from the server or just manufacture a collection of typed
objects.
So far I'm using the work-around of manufacturing untyped objects.

[flexcoders] what is a reliable way to know when your component is re-displayed
What is a reliable way to know when your component is displayed? The show event is only called when a component goes from visible=false to true. The creationComplete event is only once. My problem is I have various views (forms basically) nested in all sorts of crazy viewstacks and so on, and I just want them to initialize themselves when they are shown. Problem is I can't really just drive them from outside when I show them, cause they always seem null, or parts of them are when I make them visible (usually by some viewstack change) IE defered instantiation issues. I would like the component to throw an event when it is displayed and clear it self out, re-fetch data, etc, but I don't see a good event.

[flexcoders] What files should be in the WEB-INF/flex directory to dynamically compile
I haven't been able to discover this information despite much searching. We have a Flex 2 app that dynamically recompiles on the server when the index.jsp is requested via an object/embed tag. The JSP requests file.mxml.swf. Because the WEB-INF/flex directory contains the Flex 2 SDK, the app happily recompiles and works. I'm trying to migrate the app to Flex 3 and I need to understand what files need to go where for the app to dynamically recompile. A Flex 3 project template that dynamically recompiles would work. Or the ability to create a new Flex 3 project that compiles on the server, but this compilation option available under new Flex project is very picky about being enabled and doesn't create the flex directory if you get it to stay selected. Comparing the 2.0.1 and 3.0.0 SDK directories doesn't help. The deployed web app has /WEB-INF /flex -- flex-config.xml; other -config.xml files /frameworks -- mx.swc /frameworks_debug -- mx_debug.swc /jars-- bunch of jars including flex.jar /libs-- bunch of swcs including charts.swc /locale /system_classes /themes /user_classes and some other directories. The Flex 2.0.1 sdks directory has /frameworks -- flex-config.xml and other stuff /libs -- bunch of swcs /locale /source /themes /lib -- bunch of jars (similar to /flex/libs) So there is plenty of overlap yet it's different enough to not be drag-and-drop replaceable. In particular I'm not sure where the mx.swc comes from, or the debug mx_debug.swc version. Bottom line, I'm looking for a Flex 3 project that compiles dynamically when deployed under a web app server, or information towards that end. Thanks for any help.
[flexcoders] Trouble passing values to a child window
Hi. I have an app where the user can select a note and opt to pop
the note into a child window that will float beside the main window. I
can create the window fine, and I can pass it its title. However, when
I try to pass the title and contents of the note, I get a null object
reference error.
The relevant code in the main file is this:
public var theNote:noteWindow;
//** popup selected note
public function floatingNote():void{
var theNote:noteWindow = new noteWindow();
theNote.title = Floating note;
//theNote.noteContents.text=contents;
//theNote.noteTitle.text = title;
theNote.maximizable = false;
theNote.open();
}
if don't comment out those two lines, the code runs fine. At the
moment they are trying to pass static values; but eventually they will
take the relevant values from the selected item in the Notes datagrid.
The noteWindow component looks like this:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Window xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; width=300
height=400 layout=absolute backgroundColor=#FF
transparent=false systemChrome=standard
mx:TextArea x=10 y=10 width=278 height=62 id=noteTitle
wordWrap=true editable=false fontWeight=bold fontSize=12
borderStyle=none text=title/
mx:TextArea x=10 y=89 width=278 height=289 id=noteContents

text=The note/

[flexcoders] Re: currentState question
The other possibility is that the problem comes from using double
quotation marks () instead of single(''). currentState likes single
quotation marks.

Bonjour,
I am pretty sure that this error comes as a consequence of changing
the state. You should check what happens when you change the state -
probably you trying to access an element which does not exist in the
base state.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 3 / AIR: Creating a Timer and binding Text
Hi Steve,
You need a [Bindable] meta tag in front of every property you need to
be bindable. You only have it on callID, not callStatus.

I'm trying to make a call to a remote script at regular intervals. I can

[flexcoders] Can't change state from the menu bar
Hi:
I want the menu bar choices in my app to change the app's current
state. In the code below, the correct value shows up in the alert when
one of the two active options is selected, but the state does not
change whether I use the first pattern or the second. What am I missing?
private function menuHandler(event:MenuEvent):void {
//Alert.show(data : + [EMAIL PROTECTED]);
switch ([EMAIL PROTECTED]){
case state2:
currentState=' + [EMAIL PROTECTED] + ';
break;
case state3:
[EMAIL PROTECTED];
break;
}
}

Got this figured out. Now if I can figure out why half of the localizations aren't working, I'll be all set.
Re: [flexcoders] Re: AIR Modules - I've hit a wal
I'm not sure if this is your problem, but there is a property that's AIR-only called allowLoadBytesCodeExecution. I forget which class it's a property of, but it might help. -Andrew On Thu, Apr 17, 2008 at 12:23 PM, ed.syrett [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Could somebody please confirm this to me? Is it really true that we cannot load up swf modules from a web server into an AIR app? If so then thats a really big disappointment. I can see the need for security etc, but if an AIR app trusts a particular domain then it should be able to download a swf module and run it. I would expect some function call to enable download of swfs from a particular domain. If there are any workarounds that anyone knows about then please post here as we would really like to know. We already have a web app that makes good use of modules. The app communicates with a server running JBoss using XML, and the web app firstly downloads a list of menu items, each of which relates to a module. The user only needs to download the modules that he accesses. We were hoping to do this with AIR, so that we could have the user download the AIR container app just once, and then we could add as many modules as we liked without having to make the user re-install the whole app. BTW the XML to JBoss seems to work - we just need to get the modules working. Any further info gratefully received. Cheers, Ed.

[flexcoders] Re: Perl with Flex
--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, moonrchand [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, how can i integrate perl script with flex. simple example is appreciated. Thanks in Advance, Chandra It is not clear what you mean by integrate? You can host a Perl script on a web server, run it as CGI or mod_perl, and use its output for the result of a Flex remote service. From a Flex point of view, it doesn't matter whether the server is running Perl, PHP, JSP, ASP, etc. So which are you having trouble with: getting Perl to run on your web server, or getting the service to work in Flex? If it's the former, please post to a different list. If it's the latter, then what is your specific question?
