Re: [flexcoders] Best practices with modular applications
HI Jeff, I am not surprised that there are no replies to your post. I have been researching this question for a project just about to start, and I cant find much information. I am struggling with the decision about if/should we go with modules or sub-applications, because there are so many issues with GC and unloading modules.

I've seen some of the adobe documentation but I'm hoping that someone has some experience/insights as to which is the better approach. Thanks. -- Hilary --

This has got to be a simple one. I am writing the tiny app given in
a video tutorial by Sho Kuwamoto. The tutorial is on displaying
flickr pictures in a basic tilelist control and is located here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flexbuilder2/tutorials/sho_kuwamoto
/
I have identified these KEY points:
1. An HTTPService call, of which mine looks like this:
mx:HTTPService id=service
url=http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?
method=flickr.photos.searchamp;api_key=f09abdbe2fada94609244a5de3f4b8
deamp;per_page=9amp;tags={input.text}/
2. I call the web request with a button click like so:
mx:Button x=262 y=18 label=Find id=button1
click=currentState='Results'; service.send()/
3. Finally, the data provider for the TileList control in the
tutorial is:
dataProvider={service.result.rsp.photos.photo}
However, while watching the video, as he types services. he gets
two options, result and resultFormat, however, I am only getting
an option for resultFormat? This is leading me to believe that
maybe the .result property has been removed??? And that is why my
application fails?
The end result is that I have this thing setup identical to the
tutorial but it just won't do anything on the results display. The
only thing that is different is that I went to Flickr and created my
own account and search feed at
http://www.flickr.com/services/api/explore/.http://www.flickr.com/services/api/explore/(This
is exactly the
method used to create a feed in the tutorial)
I have uploaded the project bin folder here:

I'd love to see this work and it looks so easy in the video (15
minutes!) but I've spent several hours on this now to no avail.

Re: [flexcoders] Call by value instead of Call by reference when copying ArrayCollection
We had this question on the flexaussie mailing list a couple of days ago.
There is an example in the docs that works:
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
private function clone(source:Object):*
{
var myBA:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
myBA.writeObject(source);
myBA.position = 0;
return(myBA.readObject());
}
private function init():void{
var data:Array = [{name:one,value:1},{name:two,value:2}];
var a:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(data);
var b:ArrayCollection = clone(a);
b.getItemAt(0).value = foo;
trace(a.getItemAt (0).value);
trace(b.getItemAt(0).value);
}
Seems to work ok.

using:
for each(var itemXML:Object in

The above code will only work if the returned xml has more than 1
burn_down_rec elements, but it doesn't work if it has only one

I'd be great if anyone can help me sort out this problem so that my
code will work even if the xml only has one element.

for that matter the marker was clicked.

1) I have a marker CustomPOIMarker, I want to embed a link and
call
an actionscript function in my flex code. I have tried this with
and without _parent,parent and it never works. If I put a link to
an HTML page it works fine. But I need to notify my application
when the click has occured. Any ideas? or a better way to do
this?
Example.
var markerArgs = {index:marker 1,description:a
href='asfunction:parent.cpiClicked'print something/a,
title:a
href='asfunction:_parent.cpiClicked'print something/a,
markerColor:0x990099, strokeColor:0x00};
.
.
.
function cpiClicked() : Void
{
Echo.debug(Marker 1 clicked);
}

Re: [flexcoders] Initialization of MXML components
We probably need a little more code to see what is going on, but I'll take a stab in the dark ;-)
Have you tried using creationComplete on the Canvas Class and calling a function from there?
mx:Canvas creationComplete=init()
private function init():void{
myText.x = 50;
//or what ever...
}

Hi List,
I have a question about the initialisation rules for MXML components. My situation is as follows:
I have defined a custom MXML component that extends the Canvas class (myComponent).
MXML root node of the file, I put a Text element, assigning it an ID (myText).
I define a setter method on this class (myProperty) that takes a String argument and passes it to myText.text.
I use the custom component in the application, with a tag like this:
local:MyComponent myProperty=a value /
Sure enough the instance is created and the setter method is called. However, an error results when I try to access the property of the child Text object. Apparently it has not been initialised when the method is called. This results in an error (setting a property on a null object).
My question is if this is the expected behaviour and if there is a way to achieve this with MXML (setting properties of child objects from a setter method called at init time).
Thanks for any insights.
Cheers,
Lach

You could use ExternalInterface to communicate between the two. It's as easy to setup as LocalConnection (maybe easier).Check out this example:
http://tracethis.com/wp-content/playground/SWF9_SWF8_Comms/SWF9_SWF8_Comms.htmlThe content on the left is created by the SWF9 and the content on the right is a version 8 SWF. Typing in the top textfield of one side updates text in the lower textfield of the other side. And no _javascript_ involved.
With this you could communicate synchronously, even create Proxy/__resolve functionality to make most calls transparent.

Re: [flexcoders] SWF's not unloading
Not a problem Angus,
I seem to remember seeing this as an issue somewhere. Streams are not killed when the application is unloaded.
Other than your possible solution, I am not aware of a workaround at this time.

Gotcha. Thanks Hilary. I'm pretty happy with the way swf's are loading now. Looks like garbage collection destroys unused swf's after I made sure the references were deleted.I still have an issue unloading swf's that are not movies but applications. For example, an application written by someone else which uses the sound class and streams music to the client. It continues to play even when unloaded and removed.
I guess the best way to deal with this is get other developers to implement a hook or interface which can be called by the parent application, something like onTerminate(). That method then tidies up the sub application and in this case closes the sound stream. Might need to spec out an interface or something similar.

I have an example that runs a sound clip and I can still hear that playing even if I have replaced mySWF content in the parent several times. I also noticed that flash memory usage continues to increase with each load so something is wrong. Debug correctly shows only one child loaded.
SWFLoader class does't have an unload() method. removeAllChildren() should work right?CheersAngus

[flexcoders] FLEX 2B3 - After installing Flash 9 IDE Alpha, Debug player in FB does not work
Hi people, After installing Flash 9 IDE Alpha for AS3, the Debug player in FB does not work. I have reinstalled both apps, but cant get the debug player in FB to work. Can I download just the debug player from somewhere? Does the Flash 9 IDE Alpha use the same debug player as FB?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Using Eclipse to create a central library
Thanks for that Hank, That should help anyone looking for a solution to this issue. Hilary -- On 6/24/06, hank williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here's how you include other directories as part of source code in a project in eclipse1. right click on the folder that is your flex project.2. select properties down at the bottom of the menu 3. in the panel on the left side, select Flex Build Path 4. in the source path tab, press on the button add folder5. Navigate to the folder *containing the folder or folders that you want to include. For my structure I had a directory called src that contained folders like com. So in my case I selected src. This is necessary so that you can find fully qualified package paths. RegardsHank On 6/24/06, Hilary Bridel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would be interested in the answer...

Re: [flexcoders] MovieClips in AS3
Weyert, that's correct. If I cant do it with a flash 8 swf, how can I make a flash 9/AS3 movieclip so I can use it in Flex with gotoAndPlay etc. The AS3 docos say that you can only manipulate AS3 movieclips.

Re: [flexcoders] MovieClips in AS3
Ok, I did some more research. You cannot programmatically make AS3 movieclips. Ali Mills has a blog post with a workaround using localconnection until Blaze is available http://www.asserttrue.com/articles/2006/05/16/library-type-assets-in-actionscript-3-0-using-assets-created-with-current-releases-of-flash-authoring Thanks Ali...

[flexcoders] MovieClips in AS3
