[flexcoders] Profiling Flex applications for Flash player 10
is anyone able to profile a Flex application that is targetted for Flash player 10 ? Our Air application run, debugs and profiles fine but the web version throws an RTE on startup: ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable ContextMenuClipboardItems is not defined. to locate the problem I created a sample project which runs fine at first but when adding a library project it falls back to the same error as above ?

[flexcoders] Re: Profiling Flex applications for Flash player 10
I followed the instructions from here: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Targeting+Flash+Player+10 so I changed flex-config.xml. If I understand it correctly that should make all my project compile for Flash Player 10. Which appeared to be working as FileReference.save() now showed up in the autocomplete (=Flash Player 1- feature). Anyway, I added the -target-player=10.0.0 to the additional commandline parameters for both projects (first tried library project alone).

not sure which part of the solution you're after but: - from AIR you can create hooks in your html page, using something like myHtml.htmlLoader.window.customJSHandler = this.onCustomJSHandler - customJSHandler can be called from within your htmlpage by a href=javascript:customJSHandler/ cheers, Dennis --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Paul Andrews p...@... wrote: If this were an ideal world I'd be able to specify a function in my flex/AIR app as an html link in an html page rendered by the application.

Subject: [flexcoders] Observing collections
For some reason I have an aversion to adding event listeners in
ActionScript, favouring binding expressions and the Observe tag from
Adobe Consulting. Not sure how rational this is, but there you have it.
Binding is just so damn elegant.
However, collections are a problem. It seems that so often you want to
update something if either the collection itself or its contents
changes, and you don't really care about the details of the change.
I suppose if you're a DataGrid watching its dataprovider you do care and
can minimize updates, but in many of the use cases I've encountered,
that's not the case - my observer is going to do something with the
whole collection (or maybe I've just been lazy about exploiting possible
optimizations).
Is there anything like the Observe tag that can be instantiated in MXML
and can trigger a function call on a COLLECTION_CHANGE event?
[flexcoders] disable type-ahead look-ups in AdvancedDataGrid..
currently the AdvancedDataGrid use type-ahead look-ups on the first column, so if you enter any character it will search for that an item that matches it and focus that item. Problem is that I have defined a list of shortcut keys (like CTR+I) to do actions on those items on the list, so every time I press one of the shortcuts the focus jumps toanother item.. Is there an way to kill this type-ahead look-ups? thanks, Dennis
[flexcoders] Reflect column sorting in AdvancedDataGrid
I'm using an AdvancedDatagrid where my sorting is done on the server (total result set is bigger than the list shown at client). So when I click a header, sort info is added to the request and result comes back sorted correctly. My question is: How can I provide feedback on how the results are sorted? Arrows on the columns are gone, probably because dataprovider was refreshed. Is there a way to manually enable those arrows again ?
[flexcoders] load video bytes in VideoDisplay
Hi all, my video files are grabbed from a bytestream which also contains other data and I was wondering how I could throw those video bytes into a VideoDisplay component.

[flexcoders] Upload file in chunks
Hi all, I'm a bit stuck here in finding a solution for uploading files to our server. Problem is that is has to be sent in DIME format (binary data with some xml in it). What I was wondering is that for this solution it looks like I have to read the file first, wrap it in a bytearray and then convert it to a DIME record. Meaning that the complete file has to be in memory before sending it. So for a 50MB file (Indesign for instance) that would mean Flex needs at least 50 MB of memory extra... so.. Ideally I'm looking for a URLStream solution, but then the upload version, where I read a file in chunks and send those chunks to the server. Any chance of building this on URLLoader or do I need to step down to Socket for this ? Dennis
[flexcoders] Re: Deep binding with Cairngorm question
I've created an add-on to Alex Uhlman observe tag
(http://weblogs.macromedia.com/auhlmann/archives/2006/09/using_binding_s.cfm)
that not only monitors the settings of a collection but also tracks
changes in it.

{
import mx.events.CollectionEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
public class ObserveCollection extends Observe
{
private var _source : Object;
override public function get source() : Object
{
return _source;

public override function set source( value : Object ) : void
{
if (_source != null)
_source.removeEventListener(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE,collectionChangeHandler);
_source = value;
_source.addEventListener(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE,collectionChangeHandler);
isSourceInitialized = true;
if( isHandlerInitialized isSourceInitialized )
{
callHandler();
}
}
private function collectionChangeHandler (event:Event) : void
{

Different approach, same result. :)

The follow will fire the refreshFilters:

[flexcoders] ModuleManager.getAssociatedFactory returning wrong result ?
Hi,
I'm trying to split up my application into modules but ran into this
weird behaviour. According to the docs getAssociatedFactory should
return See if the referenced object is associated with (or, in the
managed ApplicationDomain of) a known IFlexModuleFactory implementation
The thing is when I startup my app without modules it returns null (as
it should) but when I load a module it returns the same factory for
objects in the module as well as in the shell .. ?
Here's the code:
Shell:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute creationComplete=loadModule()
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.modules.ModuleLoader;
import mx.modules.ModuleManager;
private function loadModule () : void {
var factory = ModuleManager.getAssociatedFactory(shellButton);
trace(factory + factory);
if (factory != null)
trace(factory name + factory.name);
var module_ldr:ModuleLoader = new ModuleLoader();
module_ldr.url = ButtonModule.swf;
module_ldr.loadModule();
this.addChild(module_ldr);
}
private function traceFactory () : void {
var factory = ModuleManager.getAssociatedFactory(shellButton);
trace(factory + factory);
if (factory != null)
trace(factory name + factory.name);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Button id=shellButton x=166 y=41 label=Shell Button
click=traceFactory()/
/mx:Application
Module:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Module xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute
width=400 height=300
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.core.IFlexModuleFactory;
import mx.modules.ModuleManager;
private function traceFactory () : void {
var factory = ModuleManager.getAssociatedFactory(button);
trace(factory + factory);
if (factory != null)
trace(factory name + factory.name);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Button id=button x=166 y=141 label=Module Button
click=traceFactory()/
/mx:Module
With this output:
[SWF]
Users:dennisvannooij:Documents:workspace:ModuleTest:bin:ModuleTest.swf
- 522,921 bytes after decompression
factory null
[SWF]
Users:dennisvannooij:Documents:workspace:ModuleTest:bin:ButtonModule.swf
- 518,830 bytes after decompression
factory [object _ButtonModule_mx_core_FlexModuleFactory]
factory name instance16
factory [object _ButtonModule_mx_core_FlexModuleFactory]
factory name instance16
Last two traces are from clicking first the shell button, then the
module button..
am I missing something here ?

[flexcoders] Using conditional compilation to switch between Air and Web deploy
Hi,
after reading this link
(http://blogs.adobe.com/flexdoc/2007/10/conditional_compilation_in_mox_1.html)
about conditional compilation I decided to see if I could get it to
work for my Air / web switch.
looks like it does work but one major drawback is that you can't
debug. According to a comment on the link this will be fixed before
release though.
here's the code:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute creationComplete=initDragAndDrop()
mx:Script
![CDATA[
CONFIG::web {
trace(web);
private function initDragAndDrop():void{}
}
CONFIG::air {
trace(air);
import flash.desktop.DragActions;
import flash.desktop.ClipboardFormats
import flash.events.NativeDragEvent;
private function initDragAndDrop():void{
this.addEventListener(NativeDragEvent.NATIVE_DRAG_ENTER,onDragIn);
this.addEventListener(NativeDragEvent.NATIVE_DRAG_DROP,onDrop);
}
public function onDragIn(event:NativeDragEvent):void{
flash.desktop.DragManager.acceptDragDrop(this);
}
public function onDrop(event:NativeDragEvent):void{
flash.desktop.DragManager.dropAction = DragActions.COPY;
trace(onDrop);
var dropFiles:Array =
event.clipboard.dataForFormat(ClipboardFormats.FILE_LIST_FORMAT) as Array;
var path = ;
if(Capabilities.os.search(Mac) = 0)
path = file:// + dropFiles[0].nativePath;
image.source = path;
}
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Image id=image width=100 height=100 horizontalCenter=0
verticalCenter=0/
mx:Button horizontalCenter=0 y=5 label=Button width=100
height=20/
/mx:Application
Use these additional compiler arguments:
-define=CONFIG::web,true -define=CONFIG::air,false
Also make sure you have a AIR project. For the web version create a
new run configuration, and type in the project name (it doesn't appear
in the combobox). So now if you run your application you'l be asked to
run as either Flex or Air. By changing the compiler arguments you can
switch between the two.
