Re: [flexcoders] Convert Spark List for tablet and phones

 Upgrade to Flex 4.5 or 4.5.1 and use the mobile skin.

Hi,


I have a flex 4.0 app with a lot of Spark Lists and would like to port 
it to work for tablets (phones later). I realize I would need to go 
and optimize stuff for better performance, but what is the way to 
enable the Spark lists to get the new gesture based interaction? Is 
there a flag I need to turn on ?


TIA

Re: [flexcoders] is there another flexcoders list?

2011-10-07 Thread Jeffry Houser


 This list started to die after Adobe launched their new forums.  I 
think that was a couple of years ago.  Adobe, basically, stopped 
directing people to this list and instead started directing them to the 
forums.


 So, that is where you'll find the traffic.

Re: [flexcoders] Is it possible to add Flex components to the Stage?

2011-09-22 Thread Jeffry Houser


 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.

I'm working in an AS3 view library (no Flex, just Sprites) where I 
need to add a Scrollable container component to the Stage on a click 
event. There's no way to do this as I see it unless I write my own 
Scroll container, use Flex SDK (don't think this works), or use 
fl.containers.ScrollPane (which is not an option since we're not 
using a .fla)


So basically, I'm trying to accomplish this, as simple runnable 
example, but it fails silently and nothing appears...any ideas? Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] What is the a correct lifecycle phase to add new child components?

2011-09-06 Thread Jeffry Houser


 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..


On 9/6/2011 5:28 AM, Nick Middleweek wrote:

Hi,

I've been trying to find the correct 'place' to create new components 
after the parent component is UPDATE_COMPLETE.


During initialisation, we create child components in 
*createChildren()* but where/ when should we create them for e.g. in 
response to a mouseOver or a mouseClick event?


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?



Thanks,
Nick

I did actually speak to enterprise licensing, and didn't get

outside sales partners, to which I've gotten no response.


That's a pity. Seems a little short-sighted of Adobe - I guess
they're making enough as it is. I think many companies would
take into account your situation and see it as a route towards
future upgrades. 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.

All pointless speculation on my part. Pity there's not a
reseller with old boxed product on the shelves.

option, but the work involved in refactoring the code to
use BlazeDS looks daunting.  We're already using CF on
the backend, and we just want to keep purchasing CF 8
licences for this.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice,



Sounds like you have many licences involved. If so you
might want to get hold of an Adobe rep that deals with
corporate clients. They are far more likely to have
latitude to cut a deal.

 The component has no ties to a backend, but you could easily populate

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Affecting Web Server Memory?

2010-07-16 Thread Jeffry Houser


 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.

Thank you,
Kevin

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.  But to me that sounds like it might be a problem with 
your server side code.


 It would be my expectation that compiling a Flex 2 application against 
the Flex 4 SDK would present relatively few problems.

Re: [flexcoders] AIR Development: Modules vs. Components

2010-06-21 Thread Jeffry Houser


 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.



On 6/21/2010 7:46 AM, Wally Kolcz wrote:


In the beginning of my Flex web development I used components to
separate different functionality of my web applications. Being acutely
aware of load time and different user bandwidths, I switched to now
develop my applications in modules. This has made my web applications
load faster.

Now I am developing 2 pieces of software using AIR and not sure which
approach is better. 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.

Now that I am getting into more custom software development, I would
love some advice from the experts here on this 'best
practice'Modules or Components.

Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Framework choice

2010-06-14 Thread Jeffry Houser


 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

2010-06-12 Thread Jeffry Houser


 running invalidateDisplayList() will force updateDisplayList to rerun, 
which should relayout the component as appropriate.


 However a component's size is determined by it's parent; so you'll 
need to run updateDisplayList on the parent of the container you want to 
change.  Depending on the components you're using and how they work, 
this may or may give you your expected results.

2010-05-03 Thread Jeffry Houser
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.  On the flip side, 
if there were a lot of inconsistent implementations of the player, it may hurt 
the platform as a whole.

2010-04-14 Thread Jeffry Houser

 I'm not sure if I should feel foolish for asking or not; but what is a 
link-report and how do I get it?  Some compiler option?  

 I created the files; recorded the final file sizes.  It was close to a year 
ago now; so to redo anything I'd have to start from scratch.  I could put it on 
my list of things to do; but it wouldn't be priority.

[flexcoders] Re: AuthorizeNet image and script inclusion in Flex

Geotrust is just a SSL certificate, right?  You can easily server a SWF off an 
SSL connection without any issues.  If you're using AMF, you can also specify 
an https URL for your AMF Gateway.


For Authorize.net, last time I checked they do not offer a crossdomain.xml for 
their secure gatewa.  You'll have to use a proxy on your server.  So, the Flash 
Player will call your server, which will then call authorize.net.  
Authorize.NET will return data to your server which will then return data to 
your Flash App.  

 I'm unclear how PCI Compliance issues come into play when using Flash.

 I'm not sure what AlertSite is; nor what your reference to images means.

[flexcoders] Re: Will Flash Player 10.1 Break AIR Apps?

2010-04-07 Thread Jeffry Houser
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.  

It would be my expectation that the Flash Player is embedded in the AIR runtime 
and that installing a browser based pluging [even a beta one] would have no 
affect on AIR applications.

Re: [flexcoders] Question about Flex Actionscript 3 code Flash actionscript 3 code

2009-11-22 Thread Jeffry Houser


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!

Baz

would have to create numerous mods to the list based classes to pass in 
properties other than data or listData. 


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.  If you have simple objects (like Strings) in your 
dataProvider, you'll need to wrap up them up in an object, probably by 
creating a Value Object style class.

 Most list based classes have a ListData property passed into
 itemRenderers. You can extend ListData to contain your custom data, and
 extend the List class to use your new ListData class with new data.
 You could also pass in the relevant data as part of your itemRenderer's
 data object.

Re: [flexcoders] Layered ListBase component

2009-11-18 Thread Jeffry Houser


The Scrap blog canvas is most likely... well, a canvas or container.  
Dragging items from a list onto the canvas would just be like adding a 
new child to the canvas [I presume].  I've used scrap blog very little, 
but I would not be surprised if they have wrote a Z-order manager 
style class to control what shows on top of other things.


If you drag an item off the list based class, I Would expect the 
selectedIndex would reset to -1; the unselected state.

As far as I can tell, List does almost exactly what you are after. The 
only caveat is your last sentence 'The depth of the display objects is 
bound to the data provider indexing.'.


The ItemRenderers of all List controls are re-used within the control, 
so the display objects are not at all connected to the index. Nor 
would you want to, if you had hundreds or thousands of items in your 
control. It seems as though this is a somewhat surmountable issue.


Check out the 'dragEnabled', 'dropEnabled' and 'dragMoveEnabled' 
properties of the list controls for more information.

I wont have any issues with my dev tools before making the plunge.

Has any one had any issues moving to Windows 7(64bit), it is not
listed as a supported OS in the Flex builder system requirements?

I am running Eclipse with the Flex builder plugin.

Any help much appreciated,

Greg

Re: [flexcoders] Layered ListBase component

2009-11-17 Thread Jeffry Houser


I guess I don't understand the request.

Don't most list based classes allow you to drag and drop items in them 
and then position those items where they were dropped? 

When you say depth, I'm unclear what you are referring to.

Hello,

I am looking for a component (presumably extending ListBase) that 
allows objects to be dropped inside of it, and positioned where they 
are dropped (kind of like a stage or root timeline). The depth of the 
display objects is bound to the data provider indexing.


Does such a component exist?

Thanks,

Philip

Re: [flexcoders] Passing an object to a rendererProvider

2009-11-17 Thread Jeffry Houser


What component are you using? 

Most list based classes have a ListData property passed into 
itemRenderers.  You can extend ListData to contain your custom data, and 
extend the List class to use your new ListData class with new data. 
You could also pass in the relevant data as part of your itemRenderer's 
data object.

So I need to pass additional information (an object like an associative

it in

an invisible mx:Text control, and parsed it back into an object in my

Thoughts anyone?

PS, I did this because I'm using a summary row in an advancedDataGrid to

pass it the ID which will sort it correctly then pull the correct

Re: [flexcoders] Re: DateChooser Calendar pop up

There are too things that crop to mind.  First, if you just want the

You might be describing allowMultipleSelection which can allow the user

allowDisjointSelection, selectedRange, and selectedRanges

Re: [flexcoders] AutoComplete ComboBox

2009-09-29 Thread Jeffry Houser


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?

Re: [flexcoders] flex on a cfm page

2009-09-28 Thread Jeffry Houser


If people load the SWF directly, wouldn't that bypass any of the 
security mechanisms you are implementing in your CF code? 
http://www.myserver.com/Myswf.swf;  will never load any CF code and 
will therefore never validate the users login credentials.  [right?]


It may not matter for your app, but if it does you'll want to have SWF 
code that validates against your CF based security login.  This code 
could be headless; just pinging the server and seeing if the user is 
logged in via some session variable. 

As long as the SWF and CFM page are served from the same domain / CF 
Server, a CFC called from the SWF should have no trouble accessing CF 
session variables. 



Jake Churchill wrote:
 

I do it all the time and yes, just password protect the CFM template

Re: [flexcoders] flex on a cfm page

2009-09-28 Thread Jeffry Houser


I thought

 That the Application.cfm will only run if you request a cfm page 
unless you configure your server differently
 For a while I do seem to remember that swfs were somehow processed w/ 
CF, but I thought that was related to Flash Forms which were built in 
Flex 1.5; but I'm unclear if that would affect a swf you create on your 
own.  I'm unsure what the default extensions on the web server that maps 
to CF (cfm, cfml, and cfc)

http://www.myserver.com/Myswf.swf will never load any CF code and

 will therefore never validate the users login credentials. [right?]

Not if you have an Application.cfm (or cfc) that checks credentials 
(and/or maybe even redirects when the swf is being referenced

directly - if that is possible).

 It may not matter for your app, but if it does you'll want to have SWF
 code that validates against your CF based security login. This code
 could be headless; just pinging the server and seeing if the user is
 logged in via some session variable.

 As long as the SWF and CFM page are served from the same domain / CF
 Server, a CFC called from the SWF should have no trouble accessing CF
 session variables.

Adobe is making a programming platform.  Do you C++, C#, ASP.NET, or

 It just seems that adobe is shooting themselves in the foot by not

money. Seriously, how do people make money with flex? Seems more and 
more a waste of time for us without this key point resolved.


That's ridiculous. I think if advertising is a priority, you could let
flex have part of the html page and serve ads there, either under
control of the flex application, using javascript, or just independently
with javascript, with or without an iframe. I think a bit of imagination
is required.

I think most flex developers make money from things that are useful for
something rather than advertising bling.

Re: [flexcoders] Exposing a swc from a library swc

2009-09-21 Thread Jeffry Houser


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.

Re: [flexcoders] Autocomplete Combobox

2009-09-15 Thread Jeffry Houser


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.

Re: [flexcoders] Preventing SWF from dis-assembling

2009-09-14 Thread Jeffry Houser


You can't prevent it.  Isn't it daily that a new form of DRM is broken 
by some hacker? 

But, NitroLM has some tools to encrypt your swf files; and a special 
loader that will load up an encrypted swf and decrypt it for running. 

Such encryption in place makes it a lot harder to decompile the swf. 

I do not know of any alternative solutions to this. But, you're more 
than welcome to build your own.

Re: [flexcoders] Don't understand how to use deferred instantiation

That's not true.  It only loads everything when the app loads if 
creationPolicy is set to all . (

I suggest that the original poster check the creationPolicy for his

*Subject:* [flexcoders] Don't understand how to use deferred instantiation

 

 


I am having trouble understanding how to use deferred instantiation.

I have a project with a viewstack, and the viewstack has a lot of 
canvas containers for different pages that are activated according 
to user selection on a menubar. Each page inside the canvas is 
actually one or two components.


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?

Do all components/child components/controls go through the 
initialization process and fire creationComplete, regardless of 
whether they are visible?


Can someone please enlighten me on how to use this correctly?

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm Parallel Commands

2009-09-13 Thread Jeffry Houser


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?

2009-08-28 Thread Jeffry Houser


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.

 changed. For example even a closed bug from Adobe Bug Issue
Management
 System that was supposed to be fixed in April are not included in
DMV 3.4.0
 (see https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDMV-1785)
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDMV-1785%29

Hmm, it seems so.

...frameworks/projects/datavisualisation/src/mx/collections/HierarchicalCollectionViewCursor.as

still says:
/**
* @private
*/
public function findAny(values:Object):Boolean
and the done flag is still set incorrectly.

I've commented the bug, hopefully Sameer will explain what was
changed,
although a trivial 'diff' shows now change in the file against the
DV for
v3.3 or 3.2.

 But, if I have the ActionScript source code why would I need to do 
that?  Can't I just compile my own swc? 

I feel like I'm missing a piece of the puzzle.

Can you provide me one example that says otherwise?  Ryan Stewart had a

Re: [flexcoders] ComboBox not updating

2009-08-18 Thread Jeffry Houser


You can change the label directly.  Look into the protected textInput 
field of ComboBase.  You can easily extend the ComboBox class to expose 
this textInput as public; and then update it directly. 


Richard Rodseth wrote:
 

The full story is too long to relate and involves the component which

established a while ago that there's a bug in using a ComboBox with a

I have one whose dataprovider (and current selected index) are both 
highly dynamic (changing in response to changes in another combobox).  
There is a circumstance in which the displayed label does not update 
until you roll over the combobox, or sometimes click on it. Is there a 
brute force way I can make it update? I've tried various invalidateXXX 
methods.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Need help Combobox label property

2009-07-29 Thread Jeffry Houser

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. The case is, when i select a country for instance say
 India, the code for the corresponding selection IN is saved to the
 DB thru java WS during SAVE action. When i retrieve the value in
 future, I am given only the countrycode IN. Using this code, I have
 to show the countryname on label property of my combo. I am currently
 looping thru the arraycol(dataprovider) for checking the code for IN
 and setting the arraycol index to combo.selectedIndex. I cannot use
 switch() here as the values are dynamic from DB.

 Is there any other better way of doing this...?

 Thanks in advance!!!

Re: [flexcoders] Need help Combobox label property

2009-07-28 Thread Jeffry Houser


 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?

I don't think your post is completely accurate.  Flex can connect to

which do not require BlazeDS or anything similar. 


Wesley Acheson wrote:

automatically.  Session handling can be done in the normal way except 
you have to realise that any data that changes on the server has to be

For your question about EJB from flex again look at BlazeDS.  Try

So does AMF; it's just transferring binary data instead of ASCII data.  
The reason you need a server side piece is to translate that binary data 
into something usable by the application server. 

I will admit, I responded to your e-mail without reading the original

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Compilation takes long time

2009-07-22 Thread Jeffry Houser


Closing unused projects will help. 
If you have a project with multiple Application files; remove the 
unused application files.
Give Flex Builder / eclipse more memory.  There are settings that will 
help, but they escape me at the moment.

Hi folks,

I have a project crated with Flex 3 ( SDK 3.2 ).
When ever I compile it really takes much long time min 4 to 5 mins ( 
i.e. 240 to 300 seconds).


That really make my developers crazy and it is so frustrating.

Has any one any suggestions how to make compilation process faster.

* I have already set  -incremental=true  for flex compiler in Flex 
Builder 3.
* I have around six diff. modules in my project. ( And I have noticed 
after modularization of my application it takes some more time for 
compilation I know that in the process - flex builder has to call 
another tool for module compilation other then MXMLC )


I Need some tech. Tips and suggestions to reduce the time for compilation.

Thanking you in advance.

Mayur

Re: [flexcoders] Enterprise Architect + AS3/PureMVC

2009-07-22 Thread Jeffry Houser


Last time I used it--albeit a while ago--Enterprise Architect only 
supported one way code generation.  It was not able to parse code and 
generate diagrams. 

This may have changed, of course.

Re: [flexcoders] Bring forward something in flex

 The initial layout is related tot he order you declare things in MXML, 
but that doesn't help him move children around by clicking on something 
in the background.

Re: [flexcoders] External config file for livecycle

2009-07-02 Thread Jeffry Houser


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.  It's values are hard coded into 
your SWF.  The file on the server, even a hosted server, has absolutely 
no affect on getting Flex Remoting working (or not). 


Wally Kolcz wrote:



It would be great to connection to COldfusion's built in livecycle

having the web host manually create it for you.


OR

Is there any hosted solutions for livecycle for Flex developers?

 Use the dataChange event.  Even if the data changes, the renderer is

Re: [flexcoders] Flex View Stack / Component Life Cycle Best practice

2009-06-25 Thread Jeffry Houser

 You probably want to run code when the viewStack changes.  Look at the 
ViewStack, I bet there is a change event. 

martinosaint wrote:
 Hi there,

 I have built a multiplage application in Flex with different user roles. I 
 use a View Stack with a Menu Bar to navigate between the different pages.

 However - each time a page gets opened, I need to do some database calls, 
 apply User Role settings, etc. in an init() function. This init function may 
 reference some UI elements of this page.

 I tried to load it with the creationComplete event, but this one gets only 
 triggered once (since the page is not rebuilt each them the view stack shows 
 it).

 Now I have put it on the show event, but this seems not to get triggered 
 consistently, or before the page is fully created the first time.

 Whats the best practice for this case?
  * I have to pass in data
  * Call init functions (database calls)
  * Manipulate components

 Ideally I would need a way to call init each time the page is loaded and 
 after all components are created.

 Thanks for your help,
 Martin

 No! 
 CGI variables will have it, but that is client side. 

 What I've done in the past is use my server code code that accesses the

Re: [flexcoders] How to play a wav audio file in flex

2009-06-16 Thread Jeffry Houser


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

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.
