Re: [flexcoders] is there another flexcoders list?

Re: [flexcoders] Is it possible to add Flex components to the Stage?
addElement is only defined in spark components; that will just throw a compile time error. I'm not sure why you want to add a Flex Component directly to the stage. I suppose in theory you could; but that would bypass all the Flex Framework code to position and size the component. You'd, in essence, need to write your own layout manager. that performs the same functionality as the Flex Layout manager. In the context of Flex; it probably isn't a good idea to access the stage directly. On 9/22/2011 2:33 PM, grimmwerks wrote: Try stage.addElement rather than addChild?

Re: [flexcoders] What is the a correct lifecycle phase to add new child components?
I hav used commitProperties() in the past. Although some people will use commitProperties to call createChildren() if new children are needed to be created. However, I'd be cautious about creating children based on the update_complete event. It seems like an unnecessary way to force yet another full render of the component..

Is it simply 'ok' to *this.addChild( *myNewButton *)* in a MOUSE_EVENT function handler or should I be setting some dirty flag to trigger off an invalidation and then add the button in a lifecycle override function?

The reverse side of the coin, I guess, is the product lifetime. There is an expectation of ongoing support when a product is bought so I guess in the bigger picture, that involves a cost to adobe by not being able to retire product for support quite so soon in the future.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Affecting Web Server Memory?
Something doesn't make sense. I wouldn't expect a SWF on a client to affect server memory in any way. Just like me running a mail client on my machine doesn't affect your machine. I thikn you need to quantify It in the it reserves about 5.6GB of virtual memory. What is the it? Not the SWF and not the client's browser. Does IIS reserve that memory? Or WebORB? Or something else? On 7/16/2010 11:01 AM, kevin_ketterer wrote: We have a Flex-based shopping cart applicatiion, using Cairngorm, WebORB, and ASP.NET. It's running on IIS 7/Windows 2008 server. The release version of the SWF is about 1.4MB in size. This is the only application hosted on this server. Our server team tells us that when a client launches the application, it reserves about 5.6GB of virtual memory, including 3GB of RAM. It only used the memory it neede, however. Since this is a new installation for the server team, we ran some comparison tests to see what normal is. Each of the following apps were put in their own application pool: * An application with a plain ASP.NET (HTML) page did not reserve the memory. * A small (~150k) Flex SWF in an HTML page reserved 5.6GB, but again used much less. * A 4k Flash SWF in an HTML page reserved 3GB. Although this behavior is not causing an immediate problem, we are concerned that this could become a bigger issue down the road. We would also like to understand how a SWF that runs on the client might affect server virtual memory. I'll appreciate any thoughts you might have on this issue.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex version of excel spreadsheet?
Paul, I'd love to find out more off-list. The next Flextras component will be a Spreadsheet; however your described use case is not something we considered. We've been designing it so that formulas are easily accessible; just like Excel. Our implementation does support disabled cells, so as long as users aren't entering data in a formula cell it may be possible disable formula cells and enable others to make this work for you. [But, I'm not completely sure]. I can get you into the prerelease if you wanted to explore.

Do you mean that you're moving from Flex 2 to Flex 4? Or from Flex 2 to Flash 4? They mean radically different things. I'm going to assume you mean the former. Did you download a trial of Flash Builder 4? You said you hit a wall; what wall did you hit? When you say that Web Services Not Using Live cycle; I'm not sure what that means.

Re: [flexcoders] AIR Development: Modules vs. Components
Components and Modules are two different things for very different purposes. I do not believe it is an either or situation. Module are usually designed to be an app in an app; basically a self contained complete set of functionality. Where as components are designed to be flexible units focused on a single task; and [in theory] optimized for reuse across multiple projects.

One I started with the same approach using modules, but now that its time to work on the other I am curious if there are any glaring benefits to developing in Modules with AIR. Load time seems relatively short since its using the computers processing power. My apps are certainly faster loading than Adobe's ;). Application install size is not really a factor since none of software application are remarkably huge. It seems a lot easier for me (and much much lazier) to just take each sub application, put it into a Group component and use a viewstack to move around the application rather then loading and unloading separate modules.

Re: [flexcoders] Framework choice
Well, I'd say learn the Flex Framework, the Flex Component LifeCycle, events, and parameter passing. Adn you'll be easily able to make modular, encapsulated Flex Components that can be re-used amongst different Flex Applications. Beyond that there are plenty of frameworks out there (Cairngorm, PureMVC, RobotLegs, Swiz) that will give you an approach on building applications. But, I find that the end goal of using such frameworks is long term application maintenance, not component modularity. Can you elaborate on what you mean by modular applications?

Re: [flexcoders] Relayout component
running invalidateDisplayList() will force updateDisplayList to rerun, which should relayout the component as appropriate.

Depending on the components you're using and how they work, this may or may give you your expected results.

[flexcoders] Re: Out of curiosity, what would Adobe lose if Flash were open sourced?
With the swf format being documented, and available, in theory there could be plenty of different implementation of the Flash Player. But, none of the alternate players out there are 100%. Making their source available, it'd probably bring a flood of alternate players. Since the Flash Player is available for free, I'm unclear how open sourcing it would affect revenue. If there were more Flash Player options, I think there would be more demand for tools to create Flash Applications.

[flexcoders] Re: Will Flash Player 10.1 Break AIR Apps?
With Flextras components, I've eeen tons of runtime errors in Flex due to version mismatch with betas and official releases. Basically, SWCs compiled with Flex 4 Beta 2 have issues running against the Flex 4 release version. The solution was to recompile the app against the release version of Flex 4 SDK. I have no idea how that would relate to Flash Player 10.1 problems, though.

Re: [flexcoders] Question about Flex Actionscript 3 code Flash actionscript 3 code
I'm not sure if I'd call an MXML component a set of AS3 classes. The complete Flex Framework is built in AS3 without using any MXML. MXML is an AS3 code generation language and the MXML file is compiled to AS3 by the Flex compiler. But, you cannot use an MXML component in a non-Flex applications without first turning it into AS3. I haven't done any coding in the Flash IDE, although I would expect that writing AS3 code in the Flash Professional will be a very different experience than writing AS3 code in Flex Builder. But, Baz is right that the language constructs are not different. Baz wrote: Hey, Flex is nothing more than a framework built using AS3, and AS3 only exists in the flash player, so they are the exact same AS3. An Flex (mxml) component, is just a set of AS3 classes, that you can modify, update, extend, or change in any way. Flex simply provides a high-level and convenient way to implement Action Script. To learn, I'd start with a simple mxml app, then as you progress, start adding more complexity and customizations. You will quickly find out that you will have to drop down to the lower-level AS3 code, by creating your own classes, or extending existing flex components. At the end of the day, to be a good Flex developer, you have to also be a good AS3 developer, so it's in your interest to learn both. Good luck!

Re: [SPAM] Re: [flexcoders] Passing an object to a rendererProvider
Tracy, I understood from the original e-mail that he was using a component as an itemRenderer.

Mike, I'm not sure which class you're using, nor how your dataProvider is structured. But, if you just need to add the value to the objects in your dataProvider.

Re: [flexcoders] AutoComplete ComboBox
Thanks for checking us out then. Can you provide me with a reproducible case? When I type some gibberish so that nothing is selected and use the tab key to lose focus, the first item is not selected. If I do so in debug mode, the selectedIndex still stays at -1 and the selectedItem is null. If you want the typeAheadText to clear itself out when the user tabs away from the control and if nothing was selected, you can listen to the focusOut event and do something like this public function onFocusOut():void{ if(ACCB.selectedIndex == -1){ ACCB.autoCompleteSetTypeAheadText(''); } } Does that help? yogesh patel wrote: I am using Flextras AutoCompleteComboBox --- On *Tue, 29/9/09, Jeffry Houser /j...@dot-com-it.com/* wrote: From: Jeffry Houser j...@dot-com-it.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] AutoComplete ComboBox To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, 29 September, 2009, 11:47 AM What component are you using?

Re: [flexcoders] Exposing a swc from a library swc
I would expect there to be a way to say Combine this swc and these classes into a new swc; but I've never had to do it. Will the include-classes compiler argument do it? ( http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=compilers_14.html ) When creating a Flex Library Project, you have to explicitly select the classes that show up in the swc. Using the Flex Builder 'options' there is no way to specify classes / files that are not in the current project. It doesn't delve into SWCs in the library path. I bet the include-classes directive would solve this. If not, you can cheat it. Create a dummy class and add it into the SWC library. Then create an instance of every class not being included in there. The Flex Compiler will say Hold up, I need this class too and add it in to the SWC. It is clearly a kludge, but I'm pretty sure it works. I'd check for a command line compiler option first, though. You can even use the excludeclass metadata class to keep your dummy out of code hinting. migchulo wrote: I am not sure if it's possible, but I was thinking that maybe there is a attribute in the manifest.xml. thanks migchulo wrote: I am trying to create a library swc that contains all my images, utility and common classes which are shared across multiple projects.

You should check out our AutoCompleteComboBox at http://www.flextras.com/?event=ProductHomeproductID=10 . You can register and download a free developer edition to prove the component works in the context of your application. It supports dataProviders of any type, as with most Flex Framework components that support a dataProvider. The filterFunction is exposed as an API so if you don't want to use the default filtering, you can have complete control. Additionally, if you want to use a remote data set instead of filtering after every keystroke you can do that too. yogesh patel wrote: Hi, Is there any component for AutoComplete Combobox for dataprovider ICollectionView is availlable?

The problem is that each of these components has some custom code attached to the creationComplete event that loads external string files. What I am seeing is that all containers and the components are initializing when the application loads, and all string files are being loaded, regardless of the current viewstack view. This is creating a serious performance problem. To test the child controls, I added some alerts inside the page components as well (such as a label) that are attached to creationComplete and addedToStage. Both events are firing when the app loads, for all viewstack containers. I don't understand this. What exactly is being deferred?

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm Parallel Commands
I thought the multi-threaded issue was a bit of a red herring too. You should be able to fire two events, one right after the other, without any need to access multi-threading in the Flash Player. I've done this sort of thing plenty of times without issues. From your code is it not obvious what the problem may be. I would suspect the issue is in one of your events / commands, or how they are registered in the FrontController. Getting the code and stepping through it is a good idea. Even w/o the Cairngorm source, you can step over the code you have to make sure that both events are fired.

Re: [flexcoders] Creating a flex library project that references a remote SVN path?
Most likely you would check out code from the SVN repository so that it is local. After that, you can add the source code to your project in multiple ways. One of them is to add a linked directory pointing to the source code. Another is to compile your own SWC with the source code and add that swc to the library path of your project.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Need help Combobox label property
Ganesh, I'm still pretty sure my original post answers your question. In essence, no. You're dong it the way it has to be done. The Flextras AutoCompleteComboBox basically just encapsulates that loop so it is easier for you to handle. Mark, He already loaded the country names and country codes. Why is it wrong to minimize the amount of data returned with the new call? I think his situation is very common. Mark Lapasa wrote: You got a questionable data model if the country names are not bundled with the same SOAP msg that has your country codes. 1) Is your Flex binary supposed to have hardcoded all the country names? 2) What happens if you have the server-side return you a country code that the client does not expect? It seems to me that it is half dynamic. Wouldn't your life be easier if the java WS just told you both the combo box label and the underlying country code, instead of just the country code? Anyways, if you can't do anything about it and you have to work with what you got, another approach (in line with Tracy's idea) is to have a Dictionary whose keys are your country code and values are country names. The next fancy step would be the cache the dictionary into a SharedObject so that the next time the user uses the combo box control, previously known country code and country name pairs will be available to the user. Just some thoughts gan_sun2006 wrote: Thanks to everyone for suggestions. I am having a combo in which the values are dynamically coming from DB thru java WS.

Re: [flexcoders] Need help Combobox label property
If I understand correctly, you have a ComboBox with a dataProvider, and want to set the selectedIndex / selectedItem of that dataProvider knowing only piece of data (the CountryCode). Is that correct? Unfortunately, your approach is the way to do it using the built in Flex ComboBox. Our Flextras AutoCompleteComboBox implemented a selectedValue property, which allows you to do just that, though http://www.flextras.com/?event=ProductHomeproductID=10 Does this answer the question? gan_sun2006 wrote: Hi, I am using combobox for which the bound data is coming from an arraycollection.

Re: [flexcoders] External config file for livecycle
When you talk about the root config file are you referring to the services-config file that you specify as an argument to the Flex Compiler? If so, that not a server config file.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex View Stack / Component Life Cycle Best practice
You probably want to run code when the viewStack changes.

Re: [flexcoders] How to play a wav audio file in flex
I didn't see his previous question, but I thought this one was rather valid. The reason to use wav files instead of mp3s is quality. If you are building any sort of sound editing or mixing program; that higher quality counts for a lot. Converting to mp3 for distribution often makes a lot of sense; although there are sometimes business reasons for not distributing mp3s commercially. For The Flex Show, we take wav files, edit them, and turn them into mp3 for distribution. It works quite well and gives us better quality than we'd have starting w/ an mp3. Krunal, As best I know, if you want to play wav files in Flex you are stuck writing your own codec. If you Google around, I have seen projects that can get Ogg Vorbis files to play. Perhaps you can use some of the techniques in that to get wav files to play. Kenneth Sutherland wrote: Having just looked at your emails (this plus previous one), this list is for questions and not for just getting someone else to do your code. Try looking at the livedocs http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/index.html or Google for flex examples. In respect to the wav file, why would you wish to use a wav file. The Sound class can handle mp3 very easily so just convert your wav files (which IMHO you should be doing anyway), there are tones of free convertors out there.
