Re: [flexcoders] Re: Caringorm vs PureMVC
Honestly, nobody can really answer the question of which one is better, as they all are built to server a purpose. As you are going to have to live and breathe whichever framework you choose, you really should research them yourself and try it out, then you'll know which one you prefer and which one works best with your specific project. -Julian From: Wally Kolcz wko...@isavepets.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Mon, January 11, 2010 9:08:19 AM Subject: re: [flexcoders] Re: Caringorm vs PureMVC I, too, am using Mate. The best part is the lower learning curve and the fact that it is completely independent of your code. I use it in all my projects. Since there is NO Mate code in your Model, Managers, or Views, you can pop the framework off at any time and the application will still run. (you just have to handle to events).

The big Plus is that it doesn't interfere with your Flex code.

Re: [flexcoders] IE6 + SSL + Flex
Dear Guy, While I generally see you're point, there are a few flaws in what you're saying: 1. Try saying that to a corporate executive who is expecting your software to work in his existing infrastructure and see how far you get. 2. It is a problem in all version of IE anyway, so if you used the garbage known as IE 8 you'd still be in the same boat. 3. It's solved anyway by hacking the hell out of the headers when it's IE 6 :) (will be posted somewhere online once I've got the solution 100%). -Julian From: Guy Morton g...@alchemy.com.au To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Mon, December 28, 2009 5:03:44 PM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] IE6 + SSL + Flex Yes. Drop support for IE6. It has very little market share these days and is about the worst browser out there. Use a little browser detection javascript to tell users of IE6 it's time to update to something that isn't so crappy. Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari are all far better browsers than any version of IE. If developers stopped tying themselves in knots trying to work around all IE's faults and instead encouraged everyone to install one of the aforementioned browsers we'd soon see many of these sorts of problems go away and we could concentrate instead on actually developing content.

Re: [flexcoders] MAC : TextInput focus
I ran into this same issue but with every browser - however it may be different
for you. Either way, the handling is simple:
First, the problem is that the SWF file within the browser doesn't have the
focus. Within the app your text field has focus, but you'll notice that you
won't get any keyboard events or anything until you do a fix.
The simplicity of it is that you need to use a bit of javascript to set the
focus to the swf on page load. To do this, you modify the index.template.html
file to have the following javascript function:
function focusFlash ()
{
document.getElementById('${application}').focus()
}
Now you can call that via ExternalInterface.call('focusFlash') on
CreationComplete or whichever event makes the most sense.
This will then set the focus to the SWF and shld resolve that issue.
ML,
Julian

Hi Julian,
The screen looks to have focus on the login page and the textinput seems to
have focus(i mean blue border surrouding the text input field) but the focus is
not set inside text input field.On clicking(Mouse click ) somewhere within the
application, the focus is set in the text input field.This happens only in
Safari Browser.

Re: [flexcoders] Syntax Question
Dan, The problem (I assume) is that the object you're getitng back isn't XML. I was using that as an example, but when you use the as operator if the object isn't that type it will always return null. What is your data provider? Is it an array of objects? XML? It all depends on what you're doing. Either way, it's based on a list. Getting the selected item will give you a generic object that you need to cast to whichever data type (actually, you don't have to but it's nicer) at which point you have all of the properties accessible and you can grab the same property that the first column is bound to. -Julian From: Dan Pride danielpr...@yahoo.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sat, November 21, 2009 7:42:28 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Syntax Question Julian...

I was using that as an example, but when you use the as operator if the object isn't that type it will always return null. What is your data provider? Is it an array of objects? XML? It all depends on what you're doing. Either way, it's based on a list. Getting the selected item will give you a generic object that you need to cast to whichever data type (actually, you don't have to but it's nicer) at which point you have all of the properties accessible and you can grab the same property that the first column is bound to. -Julian From: Dan Pride danielpride@ yahoo.com To: flexcod...@yahoogro ups.com Sent: Sat, November 21, 2009 7:42:28 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Syntax Question Julian... Apparently you are wrong? When I do it with an untyped var I get an object with an XMLList for each grid column var squat = dataGrid.selectedIt em; This var myValue:XML = dataGrid.selectedIt em as XML; returns null for myValue Why is it such Rocket Science to get the first value in a column? Very frustrating for something that should be so simple. Thanks for the help Dan --- On Fri, 11
Re: [flexcoders] Combo box right-anchor
Okay, I actually got a bit distracted and didn't end up working on this for the
last day or so, however after a brief search I did find the solution in the
archives, however I implemented it slightly differently (it's along the lines
of what you were saying, Alex):
private function handleOpen (
aEvent:DropDownEvent
):void
{
var myScreenWidth:Number = Application(Application.application).width;
var myCombo:cComboBox= aEvent.currentTarget as cComboBox;
var myCurrentX:Number= localToGlobal(new Point(this.x, this.y)).x;
if(myCurrentX + myCombo.dropdown.width - 50) myScreenWidth) {
myCombo.dropdown.x = myScreenWidth - myCombo.dropdown.width;
}
}
This is specifically because I don't really care unless it's at the right edge
of the screen and will be cut off, so only in that case do I do anything.
cComboBox is my own extended combo box, and as you can tell the function is
within it with the listener being added in the constructor.
Thanks for the direction!

There is no API for this. You might find an old discussion of
this problem in the archives. I think you have to get the dropdown, add an
eventListener for “show” and/or “move” and reposition then. You may also have
to adjust the scrollRect.

That's kinda what I'm trying to

based on the content of the lookup, however the combo box is on the right side
of the screen and the drop down gets cut off by the right side of the screen,
thus I'm trying to anchor it on the right.
Is there any way to do this?

Setting dropDownWidth will make it
wider, but you may not like where it puts the left edge.

Does aynyone know how this could be do! ne?
Re: [flexcoders] Syntax Question
You can't access the value from the column name - getting the selected value will give you the entire row that the datagrid is displaying from which you can get the value you're looking for. In other words, if you have an XMLList as your dataProvider, you can do something like: var myValue:XML = dataGrid.selectedItem as XML; var myName:String = myval...@name. Make sense? -Julian From: Dan Pride danielpr...@yahoo.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Fri, November 20, 2009 9:43:33 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Syntax Question On Creation complete I am filling a datagrid and I want to select the first value listed from the Name Column (NameCol) What is the syntax? dataGrid.selectedIn dex = 0; Value = dataGrid.selectedIt em.NameCol; Does not work. why not?

Re: [flexcoders] measureHeightOfItems()
I ended up just hardcoding the heights of the renderers and now it's fine :) Thanks though!

If that isn’t “typical” you can get bad results. But first, make sure your custom renderers to accurately measure. Lots of folks have problems especially if the renderer has something in it that word-wraps text. I think you can just set rowHeight to a number that is “typical” and variableRowHeight will still work. Alex Harui Flex SDK Developer Adobe Systems Inc.

The top datagrid shows the primary information, while the bottom grid shows everything grouped (using the grouping functionality of the AdvancedDataGrid) , however I am having some serious issues with the sizing of the top grid. The idea is that it is sized based on the components within it, however it has the most variables you can possibly get for such a scenario - namely, it has custom renderers in each case it's used (and it's not the same renderer each time), variableRowHeight is true - and has to be. The problem I'm running into is that the measureHeightOfItem s() gives me, occasionally, grossly inaccurate figures. I get the top grid being twice the size that it needs to be on occasion. Does anyone know how to fix this or an alternative method?
