[flexcoders] Apple's XCode 5 requirement
Guys, I got a notice from Apple this week that all apps need to be built using XCode 5 and optimized for iOS7. I use FlashBuilder 4.7 and I've got the flex 4.6 SDK that came with it but I've upgraded the AIR SDK to 3.9 and compiled against that. Will that be enough to satisfy this requirement or will an upgraded version of FlashBuilder or compiler be needed? Thanks for any insights. -Jake

[flexcoders] Sprite Auto Align [1 Attachment]
Guys, I'm working on a project with a component that displays child sprites of different sites and allows the user to arrange them. The sprites are all rectangles of different sizes. What I'm trying to do is create an auto-align which will crunch the children down into the smallest possible arrangement. I'm wondering if anyone has heard of or has some kind of logic that would help with this. FYI, I'm not looking for a handout. I've already gone through 2 different iterations of the logic and each has a bug once in a while. Where I run into issues is when I have one really tall sprite and a bunch of shorter ones. I get things aligned in a single row and then create another row on top and start lining up the additional ones, but really what should happen is I should have the larger sprite have a rowspan like you can with html tables. I've attached an illustration from the app. The top 2 images is start and after the auto align. This works well when the sprites are about the same size. The 2nd row is what happens with a taller sprite and much smaller sprites, and finally below is what I would like to have happen but am having issues getting there. Any help would be awesome. Thanks! -Jake
Re: [flexcoders] Android/mobile question
Definitely not right. You just gotta keep in mind that that there are LOTS of sizes for android devices so your sizes should be percent based. CSS will work fine. I'm not sure what you're talking about with tables, assuming a flex grid or html table? With HTML, most everything uses CSS, with Flex, I use percentage based sizing for most items. -Jake On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 2:18 PM, Davidson, Jerry jerry.david...@illinois.gov wrote: If you build an application for the phone, do you have to use tables to position things or can you use CSS or is there a third method?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Mobile App Entitlements
No, Flashbuilder takes care of all this for you. It takes forever but it cross-compiles over to a native app. All you have to provide are the provisioning profile and cert files which I had and didn't change for what I'm talking about. This is an App Store distribution which is different than ad hoc (different provisioning profile). -Jake On Wed, Feb 13, 2013 at 9:30 AM, doug g doug31...@gmail.com wrote: ** Isnt it some UID that apple uses for its submission process?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Mobile Android 4 (ICS)
I found out what was happening. I had a global deactivate handler (I don't
want this particular app running in the background). Apparently, this gets
called by Android when switching orientation. The whole app de-activates,
then re-activates in a new orientation. So, handling that, fixed my
app disappearing issue. It was disappearing because I was killing it :)
Thanks for talking this through.

Re: [flexcoders] MouseEvent over chart [1 Attachment]
Alex, I think I have figured out what is causing the mouse disruption. I have a background element where I display the symbol and the symbol description. Whenever I rollover that, it makes the mouse event's position freak out. If I set mouseChildren=false on the background elements, it fixes the problem. If I add mouseChildren=false to the chart, disables my mouse hover events on the annotation which I can't have. In my opinion, this is still a bug. I do not see why elements in the backgroundElements property would have mouse events on them in the first place. Let me know if you want me to file a bug. I have a sample project put together to illustrate this. Also, could you please tell me why I can't add children directly to the CartesianDataCanvas? It seems like that's where drawing should go. Please let me know about filing a bug for the background elements issue I described above. I attached my flex project file to this email in case you are interested in seeing what I'm seeing. The app loads with a chart and one line and a background element. Click anywhere to start drawing, click again to complete the line. Grab one end of the line and mouse down and move it around. When you run over the background element, it goes crazy.

One other thing I tried. If I stop the autoOrient and manually flip my
orientation via code, the same thing happens. Usually when an app stops in
debug mode you get the [Unload SWF] trace line but I'm not getting that so
it makes me think it's just suspending it?
This is super frustrating though.

Re: [flexcoders] Rendering Freezes
Yes, based on one of the posts I saw, adding a small image to the display list once in a while. I basically did this every time data was received over the socket (and removed it as well) and still froze the same. Maybe I'll try keeping some kind of data related ticker or something.

[flexcoders] AIR 3.2 Update Breaks My App
Good morning community, I have an AIR app developed under the 3.1 SDK which is used for displaying real-time charting data. It's not overly complex, just a socket connection receiving data and updating chart data providers. The app has been released for about a month and all has been great. However, with the update to AIR 3.2, we are now experiencing freezing issues where the rendering just stops. I quick google search pulled up this: http://www.blog.arnlweb.com/adobe/flash/air-3-2-rendering-freeze-bug/ This example is in mobile, but it seems to be the same problem. Is anyone aware of a fix for this or at the minimum, a workaround? Or what can I even look for event wise to watch for this problem happening so I can try to gracefully recover? Thanks for any help! -Jake
[flexcoders] Flex/AIR Developer Needed
Flex Coders: CF Webtools (http://www.cfwebtools.com) is looking to hire an additional Flex/AIR developer. I normally take care of that kind of thing for them but there is additional work coming through that requires more than just one person. The position is based in Omaha, NE but remote candidates are being considered if they end up being a really good fit. Initially, the person hired would be working on a re-write of a stock charting application going from delayed data to streaming data. The existing app is a Flex 2/3 app and will be converted to an Flex 4 AIR app and socket connections. Skills required for this are as follows: *Required Skills / Experience:* - Flex 3 and Flex 4 experience - Flex 4 Skinning experience - Flex Charting/Data Visualization Experience - Experience with Stock Data - Experience with some kind of standard Flex framework (i.e. Cairngorm, Mate, Swiz) - Experience with Subversion *Additionally requested Experience:* - Experience with Sockets would be very useful (i.e. chat room experience - language specifics are not relevant) - Hudson - ColdFusion or .NET - Flex 4.5 Mobile CF Webtools is primarily a ColdFusion shop with Flex/AIR work and some mobile work here and there. The primary project for this position will be the stock application listed above, but other projects will most-likely contain some coding outside of the Flex/AIR world. If you are interested in this position or know someone who fits the bill, please send your resume/cover letter and standard information to j...@cfwebtools.com. -- *Jake Churchill Sr. Web Application Developer* *CF Webtools* You Dream It...

even if the .xml file it's reading has changed in the interim.
If I completely shut-down the program and re-load it, then I finally get the
new .xml file in there.
So, how do I get it to give me a complete refresh of the data? I've tried
calling 'reportDataRPC.clearResult()' and 'reportDataRPC.disconnect()' after
storing the data in my ArrayCollections, but that didn't seem to do anything at
all...
I'm at a complete loss -- it's totally unacceptable to not be able to get the
new data when the underlying .xml file changes. Can someone point me in the
right direction?

[flexcoders] Charting Line Segments
I've run into an issue that for the life of me I can't seem to figure out. I've been working on this same problem for days and I keep hitting a wall. I have a Cartesian chart with several LineSeries and a PlotSeries. The vertical axis is numeric and the horizontal is a category axis. The value of the category axis is dates (category is used to avoid gaps for weekends because data is stock related and only exists on trading days). Every series has it's own dataprovider but the data is all similar. It looks similar to this: DATEVALUE: Date VALUE: numeric value PERCENTCHANGE: numeric value I have a custom line segment renderer for all line series. An example I'm looking at right now deals with several months of data. There are 105 data points in the data provider and therefore, 105 line segments passed to the set data() method in the line segment renderer. *Here's the issue:* There is one line that only gets 104 line segments. The data shows 105 data points in the same format as all the other lines but somewhere down the line a segment is being removed. I've gone over and over the data and the date values for the horizontal category axis are all the same for every line and always 105 values as I said. Can anyone think of why one line might not be giving me the last segment? FYI, this is a flex 2 app and for several reasons, I cannot change that right now. Any help anyone can give will be useful (especially since this code is not open sourced and I cannot really dig into see what is going on behind the charting scenes). Thanks! -Jake

Re: [flexcoders] Charting Line Segments
I can't override getAllDataPoints. I see that in Flex 3 but not 2. I assume that changed. When I isolated that series, I saw everything which made me search the data a bit more and there is a date/time generated by the server for the datevalue... The date was the same but the time was different for the last data point of this series only. This caused the category to be different and the point didn't show up. I missed it when looking over the thousands of data points. Stupid error, but thanks for the debugging tip. It's fixed now. -Jake On Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 3:53 PM, Brendan Meutzner bmeutz...@gmail.comwrote: Hmmm... at runtime, have you inspected getAllDataPoints?

There are 105 data points in the data provider and therefore, 105 line segments passed to the set data() method in the line segment renderer. *Here's the issue:* There is one line that only gets 104 line segments. The data shows 105 data points in the same format as all the other lines but somewhere down the line a segment is being removed. I've gone over and over the data and the date values for the horizontal category axis are all the same for every line and always 105 values as I said. Can anyone think of why one line might not be giving me the last segment? FYI, this is a flex 2 app and for several reasons, I cannot change that right now. Any help anyone can give will be useful (especially since this code is not open sourced and I cannot really dig into see what is going on behind the charting scenes). Thanks! -Jake
Re: [flexcoders] draw an arc
I've seen it done before where the arc is not technically smooth but it's a bunch of connected straight lines in very short increments (like 4 lines per degree). The math is a total pain. If you end up doing something like that, get ready to re-learn geometry and trigonometry. Flex 4 has motionpath animations but I think they are straight line only. However, you might be able to us that to your advantage to constantly change the x/y of some object to mimic a curve. Good luck On Wed, May 26, 2010 at 12:52 PM, Mark mark.pusat...@yahoo.com wrote: I need to draw an animated arc in Flex.

So far, some of my source codes have compiled properly, and most of them simply trigger an error when it comes to the backgroundGradientColors of the application container. Other than that, I am amazed at the size of the compiled SWF (using flex 3.X, my SWF size was around 400KB) while using Flex 4.0, the SWF got to around 50KB which is a remarkable improvement. BTW, I am simply using the command line compiler in order to generate the SWF file. Anyway, I have some few questions as I further perform the re-compilation. 1. Since I (and my users) are already quite happy with the unstyled visual look of the SWF when compiled using Flex 3.X, using Flex 4, the look comes a little different. Is there a certain way that I could possibly insert in the command line to retain the old look for my compiled SWF applications? Or would I need to apply some CSS and styling so as to retain the previous look of the application? 2. Previously, the datagrid did not wrap the text in the column width. In Flex 4, it seems to automatically wrap with regards to the width of the column. Is there a way to prevent this? 3. I'd like to retain the backgroundGradient property but at a loss on how to work around this using the latest Flex compiler. Any suggestions? I am sure I would have further questions, knowing that I have basically started porting some source to be compiled with the latest Flex version. Thanks. Regards, Angelo
[flexcoders] Framework Choice
I have been tasked with architecting a large application for a company a friend of mine works at. I will also do some of the coding and act as a mentor, teaching people on staff the ins and outs of Flex. In the past, I've always used Cairngorm and Cairngorm w/ UM Extensions for a framework. I wrote a very basic app w/ Mate once just to learn it and I didn't really like it. So, my question to everyone here is what Framework would you chose? Keep in mind, the people I'll be working with are relatively new to flex and the application is going to end up being quite large. Down the road it will likely have an AIR counterpart. We might use modules but for now I'm staying away from that because it adds another layer of complexity that in the initial stages is not needed. My thoughts on this are that Cairngorm would be easier to learn for them and they had talked about brining more people on in the future for this project. If that's the case, it would likely be easier to find people familiar with Cairngorm than some of the alternatives. But, I don't want to rule out any of the alternatives if they might actually be a better choice. Opinions please. Thanks! -Jake Churchill

If you want to learn AS3, first learn syntax. Since you know Java I assume this is not a problem because it's almost the same. Then, focus on learning the framework (what classes are available, etc). Finally, dig into the component lifecycle. This is the hardest but is important to know how components live in order to build your custom components in a way that integrates perfectly into the core. I agree, don't just copy java. Use tutorials and definitely take advantage of anything that is open source.

Everything including server is running local on my computer (3 Gigs of RAM, Vista 32bit) and just to be sure, I disabled all add-ins and plug-ins for Firefox and the result is consistently the same. Using either a URLLoader or HTTPService to pull down xml, Firefox takes a while longer to send the request to the server, once the URLLoader or HTTPService sends methods have been called, than the other methods mentioned above. The server application is my own Delphi/FreePascal based server so I could set a break point on the socket creation line to see exactly when the server received the request from the flex application. With Firefox (as opposed to Air application, Internet Explorer or running the naked swf file in Flash Player) the time it takes for the server to get the request is significantly longer (1.5 secs on average subjective speed) thus providing an overall and significantly longer delay to process the request from click to response. -- Warm Regards, Lee

Thanks Vivian,
For the plot chart, you can do the same type of thing, except with
more
images, with an itemRenderer. Just like the way you can change
icons, or
images, in a List itemRenderer, the same can be done with a chart.
In the
last sample, you can see how to inspect the data; to determine which
image
class to display. This next

You could cache the images with a Dictionary object (google cached
itemRenderers for example code). I would suggest using the source pointed
to the server at first and if you see any lag, then you can embed the images

Re: [flexcoders] Re: LineSeries.showDataEffect - MXML vs. AS3 - bug?
The same thing happens if you are trying to align components inside a canvas
using right/left/top/bottom. In mxml it's fine but you have to use setStyle
in AS. I think it just has to do with whether the property was set up as a
Style or a Property in the main component. In MXML, you get to them the
same way but in AS they are separate (due to the component lifecycle)

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Question?? Best method for plotting a Moving Average
We do the same thing. See this screen shot:
http://www.reynacho.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cse-charting.jpg
There's a lot more than just a moving average and bollinger bands there but
those are parts of it. In order to get this data, we first tapped into a
feed which you have to pay good money for. I believe we are using NxCore
which I think is a DTN product. You might look into that but I know there
are others as well.
For the data, we pass data into a java library called ta-lib:
http://ta-lib.org/
It has methods for moving averages, deviations, etc. We found that the
calculations for our app were simply too intense to be done on the client.
But, we have 5-7 years worth of data that we are looking at for calculations
so you might not run into the same bottleneck we had

actionscript does not calculate the Standard Deviation, so I'll need to do

This is a lot for me, and I don't expect you or others have the answers but
I need to get the Std Deviation caclulated from the Mean Value above and
this is how to do that...

I am not sure exactly the best way to proceed, but if anyone has a

and take the square root.
It's a brain teaser and I am working on it a piece at a time.

[flexcoders] AreaSeries LinearGradient Fill [1 Attachment]
Here's a stumper for anyone out there (*cough* Alex).
I've got a CartesianChart with an AreaSeries that has an areaFill defined as
a LinearGradient (code below). An example of this kind of styling can be
seen online at
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=charts_formatting_07
.html almost all the way to the bottom of the page.
My question is this. Why does the Gradient only happen between the max and
min values in the dataProvider in that particular series?
Look at the link and specifically, look at the yellow AreaSeries. The
gradientEntries are set to 0, .33 and .66 for ratio but you can see that
ratio is only applied between the min/max data points, not the minimum of
the chart and the max of the chart.
This is even more evident in my attachment (a screen shot of what I'm
working on). The majority of the area is under the minimum value in the
dataProvider so the gradient is almost non-existent (I don't have ratio's
applied as you can see in the code below so it should be .5)
So, hopefully I've explained my situation enough to get my point across.
Can anyone explain why this is or point me in a direction to fix this in
order to get a full gradient?
Thanks!
CODE:
mx:AreaSeries
id
= floorSeries
showDataEffect= {seriesEffect}
displayName

form

yField

xField
= historyDt

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How to add files when exporting air application
I'm not sure on that but it may be correct. The model variables I
references in the code below were set as follows in my app:
public static constDATABASE_PATH :
String=
File.applicationStorageDirectory.nativePath;
public static constDATABASE_FILE_NAME:
String= 'stats.db';
the application storage directory by default (on XP) is C:\Documents and
Settings\USER_NAME\Application Data\APPLICATION_NAME
That's where I reference all my extra files out of. I would think this
would still work with modules, wouldn't it?

Re: Don't understand how to use deferred instantiation OK, I believe I have found the cause of the problem. The problem happens when I add a viewstack that is part of a container being added to a state with mx:AddChild If I set up a sample app with a tab navigator and three canvases, each tracing preinit, init, and creationComplete then I get this: Canvas 1 preinit Canvas 2 preinit Canvas 3 preinit Canvas 1 init Canvas 1 creationComplete This is as expected. If however, I use states (create a new state, add the tabnavigator to the state with AddChild, then activate the state) I get this: Canvas 1 preinit Canvas 1 init Canvas 2 preinit Canvas 2 init Canvas 3 preinit Canvas 3 init Canvas 1 creationComplete Canvas 2 creationComplete Canvas 3 creationComplete This is the problem! The application is driven by states (init, login, and runtime) and each state draws the gui by adding a vbox container with the gui inside it. ALL of my viewstack containers are getting initialized because of creationComplete firing! How do I make navigator deferred instantiation work with states? No virus found in this incoming message.

Can someone please enlighten me on how to use this correctly? No virus found in this incoming message.

[flexcoders] Coldfusion inside Flex
Here's a cool video from adobe on using ColdFusion functionality in flex without actually writing any ColdFusion services: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/tech-talk-with-ryan-stewart/sneak-peek-of-proxy-ta gs-in-coldfusion-9/ Jake Churchill CF Webtools 11204 Davenport, Ste. 100 Omaha, NE 68154 http://www.cfwebtools.com http://www.cfwebtools.com 402-408-3733 x103
RE: [flexcoders] RE: creationcomplete firing when a component is disabled
You can't see GlobalVars because it's a Singleton. Models are often used
that way. Try var g:GlobalVars = GlobalVars.instance;
I do that a lot when using a Model and when I'm done debugging, I remove it.

Ok, it's been one of those days. Perhaps I shouldn't program when I'm ill.
I finally figured out what the heck was going on and want to post this in
case someone else runs into it.
I'm building an Air application that connected to a CF server. I created a
process to pull an XML file with the server information to set up the remote
object. This file was populated into the GlobalVars. The problem was the
first screen initialized (including the remote object call) before the XML
file was read. I stumbled on the answer by accident when I went to see what
was in the GlobalVars.instance.strServer variable. Incidentally, why
doesn't the debugger see this variable? If I do the following:
Private var strTemp:string;
strTemp = GlobalVars.instance.strServer
I can then watch the variable in the debugger.
Anyway, I set the original variable to [Bindable] and my problem went away.
It was then I realized that the remote object with the endpoint variable was
initialized in a non-configured state.
GRR.
Thanks for your help anyway, Alex. I learned something new about
overloading variables in flex which I'm sure will come in handy later on.

Yeah, that got me next. I had to add in the event into the
init(evt::Event):void.
With all the work, I've got the same issue.
It's trying to initialize the remoteobject before it has the required
information provided after the login.

I assume you mis-typed the first one? There are too many )'s. The params
to addEventListener take a method reference, not a call to a method, so
addEventListener(bLoggedInChagned, init)
is correct.
Do you have a function init()? Is it in the same file as this code?
Otherwise, you'll need to make it public and get access to it. BTW, the
init() must now take an event as its parameter
public function init(event:Event):void
{
// call webservice or something like that
}

RE: [flexcoders] Event Best Practices
Look at adding event metadata. If you add an event called myCustomEvent in the metadata and dispatch it from the inner component, you are able to handle it from the outer component like this: mx:app mx:customComponent / mx:customComponent / /mx:customComponent myCustomEvent=handleMyCustomEvent(event) / /mx:app That's the easy way to do it. If you have multiple levels of nesting, I've found it easiest to use a Model Singleton that extends EventDispatcher and dispatch the events and listen to the events through the model. That's the more complicated way to handle it.
