[flexcoders] Flex 1.5, AxisRenderer labelRotation

2006-03-14 Thread Graham, Jason










I am using the AxisRenderer for the verticalAxis similar to
this. 



 mx:verticalAxisRenderer

 mx:AxisRenderer title=My Y-Axis/

 /mx:verticalAxisRenderer



It appears as though its rotating it 90 degrees by default,
making the text read from top to bottom, with the bottom of the label facing
away from the chart.



We have requirements that force us to have the label rotated
the other direction. So its like I want to rotate it 270 degrees really. 



I attempted to set the labelRotation but it had no effect.



Anyway to fix this?



I looked at the code for AxisRenderer and it seems pretty
strict about the labelRotation being in between 0-90 degrees.



Thanks

[flexcoders] HorizontalList scroll question

2006-02-27 Thread Graham, Jason










I have a horizontal list that is scrolling, is there a way
to programmatically select an item and have it scroll to that selected item? 



I tried doing something like this.



myHorizontalList.hPosition = mySelectedItemsIndex;



That doesnt seem to do anything and if I just set the
selectedItem its selected just not scrolled to.

RE: [flexcoders] Remote Objects in Flex 1.5 Problem

2006-02-24 Thread Graham, Jason
You have something in your class that the serialization layer is having
a problem with.  Make sure in your class you don't have any static final
fields.  This will cause a problem because the serialization layer going
from java to flex sends these fields across, when you send the object
back to java it blows up trying to set those fields.

Subject: [flexcoders] Remote Objects in Flex 1.5 Problem


I am integrating a Flex frontend with a J2EE backend using Cairngorm 
Framework and RemoteObjects. I am able to successfully retrieve 
information from my java services, but when they are sent back after 
changes are made to the Java Service doesn't always recognise them 
as the correct type of Object, therefore causing a cast exception.

After turning on debugging and logging in both the flex client and 
Java Server I have found the following things.

1) The flex server interprets the objects correctly when passing 
back the results. All the Typed objects are as expected see log 
below as an example:
  [0] = (Typed Object 
#1 'au.com.myplan.domain.financial.FinancialDefaultCategory')
financialCategoryType = (Typed Object 
#5 'au.com.myplan.domain.financial.FinancialCategoryType')
  defaultAccountingTypeId = null
  selected = true
  _remoteClass 
= au.com.myplan.domain.financial.FinancialCategoryType
  description = 
  isNested = true
  new = true
  name = Budget Income
  id = 1.0
accountingTypeId = null
_remoteClass 
= au.com.myplan.domain.financial.FinancialDefaultCategory
new = true
name = Dividends
subDefaultCategories = (Array #6)
id = 43.0

2) When the object is viewed in the flex debugger only the 
associated object financialCategoryType has _remoteClass set and the 
parent object (FinancialDefaultCategory).

3) After changes are made and sent back to the Java Service the log 
only shows that it only understands the associated object and not 
the parent.
[0] = (Object #6)
  id = 43.0
  subDefaultCategories = (Array #7)
  name = Dividends Changed
  new = false
  accountingTypeId = null
  financialCategoryType = (Typed Object 
#8 'au.com.myplan.domain.financial.FinancialCategoryType')
defaultAccountingTypeId = null
selected = false
_remoteClass 
= au.com.myplan.domain.financial.FinancialCategoryType
description = 
isNested = false
new = false
name = Budget Income
id = 1.0
  parentFinancialDefaultCategory = null
  selected = true

4) When the Java Service receives the object it is of type ASObject.


I have read and followed any examples I can find on the net, but I 
haven't found a way of forcing the Flex client to associate the 
objects recieved as the correct Action Script Class. The java log 
messages give the impression that it is configured correctly but 
when the object is in the flex client the _remoteClass is not set 
for the parent object. I have made sure that the ActionScript 
Classes have been register correctly (public static var regClass = 
Object.registerClass
(au.com.myplan.domain.financial.FinancialDefaultCategory,au.com.myp
lan.domain.financial.FinancialDefaultCategory);).

Any help resolving this problem would be appreciated.

Regards,

Allister

Other than that just do the math yourself.

Button.width/parent.width  that should give you a percentage.

You didn't mention which version of Flex.
I am not sure about how to do this in Flex 1.x, but in 2.0 you take the
ToolTip's programmatic skin ToolTipBorder and make a custom skin class. Making
a bubble-like popup would take some Flash graphics API wizardry, but I am sure
it can be done. I would start by checking out the updateDisplayList() method of
the mx.skins.halo.ToolTipBorder.as file.

RE: [flexcoders] Vertical Text on a button

2006-01-31 Thread Graham, Jason
The problem is I want the button to be a specific size after I rotate
it.

For example.

I want a long button that's width = 20 and height = 100% with vertical
text.

If I initially create the button with a width of 20 and height of 100%
and do the rotate the button is now horizontal and half off the screen.

If I create the button initially with width of 100% and height of 20 and
do the rotate the results get even stranger.
