RE: [flexcoders] Evaluating a Boolean String Expression
Separate out the (, ), |,not etc. by splitting the string up based on what you
find. You could add some logic to split the string into an array from where
those characters are found and look to the values to the left if an OR (||) is
found, for example. Then put that logic into a function like below:
(Add in your complex logic to a function like this:)
/**
* Converts a string representation of a boolean to a true boolean value.
* For example, it will convert TRUE, False, true, TruE, f, or
T to a real boolean (true or false).
* The input string is not case-sensitive. Acceptable arguments are the
word true or false, or the letter t or f.
* @param value the string to convert to a boolean.
* @return representation of the string as a true boolean value.
**/
public static function stringToBoolean(value:String):Boolean
{
var boolean:Boolean = false;
if (value.toLowerCase() == true) boolean = true;
if (value.toLowerCase() == t) boolean = true;
return boolean;
}
No small task though.

But, since we can't count on that lasting, and even Adobe is telling developers to plan on moving to HTML5, it seems like they're pushing us back into x-browser hell. I didn't want to go there, which is why we chose ZKoss. Yes, there is still going to be HTML/JS/CSS ultimately used, but it's how much. Even Flex SWFs are wrapped in HTML and JS when deployed. So, it's not that I'm against using any amount of HTML/JS; it's how little can I get away with to avoid these issues. Even with HTML5 libraries, such as the much touted jQuery, is, to a large degree, an insulator against x-browser issues. If you read the actual jQuery code, it deals with those issues for you. Now, ZK has a ZK Client JS library, which includes jQuery, that is designed to be a communicator mechanism between the client and the bulk of app logic that resides on the server. So, your normal editing and data manipulation that you might write in JS in a full blown HTML5 app is actually stored as Java on the server, and executed as needed per the EDA (event driven architecture). This type of JS is typically what breaks the page on different browsers and versions thereof. By limiting the amount of client-side JS, as does a jQuery type library, yes, you have some exposure to potential x-browser issues, but not as much as a HTML5 app that does everything on the client. And, when there are issues, they can be resolved in the ZK Client library as a patch/fix. So, now it seems to me that developers have several choices. Stick with Flex and you won't break the browser; you just won't be able to have your app viewed by millions on iOS products. If that seems like a better solution that minimal exposure to x-browser issues by using ZK or some other technology, well, that's certainly a choice each company has to make.

Each UI object can have a client side widget that is primarily the appearance, and a server side component that should contain the more complex logic. So, you can hide as much as want by placing it in the server side component as Java code, or keep in the client side widget as JS. In fact, since you indicate you are moving to HTML5, ZKoss actually might be a good choice, since it relies heavily on jQuery, which is considered a favorite HTML5 library. The difference is ZK lets you choose where client side logic is stored - as JS on the client or Java on the server. Another type of HTML5 approach won't offer that.

Write code with AS3 and output to JS. There are quite a lot of Flex apps out there ( especially in the corprate world ). Given that adobe has given up on Flex ( which means they wont have any premium support ) these guys will be looking for a solution that can work as good as their current applications. Ofcourse, the big players ( especially in the financial industry ) are going to be slow to move. They wont change something just because Adobe wont support it quite in the future. They would be looking to change. This is the point where the Apache Flex community needs to catch up on. Flex is currently the biggest load on a ship called Flash Player Runtime. There is a significantly large hole in this ship. That would not have been the case, if Adobe had not shot itself in the foot, but that is a different topic altogether.

On the one hand, you have an open-source project that is geared toward enterprise application development, but it is completely dependent on a proprietary runtime. That runtime is manufactured by a company who has stated its future is digital media and digital marketing, and that it believes the future of enterprise web application development is HTML5. It then begs the question, How long will they bloat their Flashplayer to support an open-source Flex community's enterprise web application development goals and wishes? To accommodate the Flex community, Adobe gets nothing in return for its expenditure of time and money in designing, developing, testing the features the Flex community requires now and in the future. It also means that, by supporting Flex in their runtime, the Flashplayer has an unnecessarily larger footprint than would otherwise be required. So, ask yourself if you truly believe Flex will be a supported product by Adobe in 5-10 years from now. I highly doubt it. On the other hand, I think if a developer uses Flash Pro to develop digital media for their applications, they can probably count on that being around indefinitely. But, not Flex.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex to HTML5 Conversion tool?
Check out another possibility - using haXe for converting an MXML/Actionscript project to HTML5/Javascript. The syntax is extremely similar to Actionscript, so you could convert the MXML (via the option with the compiler to save the generated Actionscript from MXML) to haXe code, and the Actionscript too.

I found the answer on a blog. Once you find it is pretty easy to fix. Only time I have had something similar happen is when the Flash Player Debugger was either uninstalled or replaced by enterprise software with the regular Flash player. Have you verified the Flash Player Debugger version is installed? I don't know if that's the issue, but something to check. Flash player debug was installed. We figured out what the issue was...the .swf compiled into the Web root and Output folder was not being referenced; the html template php file was referencing a different version of the app, in a different file location. When run/debug was executed, the .swf would stop at breakpoints, which made it extra confusing, although as stated, trace statements were not appearing, and breakpoint 'step over/step into' functionality wasn't working consistently. Once we cleared the cache, we discovered the problem.

[flexcoders] ASDoc and third party libraries
Those of you who use ASDoc from the Flex 3 SDK I'm sure have come across this before. If you use FlashDevelop and ASDoc - then even better as that is my setup (this is actually for a Flash CS3 project, but no matter). How do you handle running ASDoc on a Flash or Flex project where you are also using other third party libraries? If you run ASDoc on a project that uses a third party library like Greensock's TweenLite or Papervision3D, as I am, you can get all kinds of compiler errors because it tries to include those in the documentation as well (since they are imported into your classes), and those are not necessarily set up for ASDoc. I know in FlashDevelop, the Actionscript Documentation Generator has a field for classes to exclude - but it would be impossible to list out all those third party classes - is there a way to exclude an entire package? I have tried various forms of adding -exclude-dependencies but keep getting this error: Error: exclude-dependencies can not be used with doc-sources. And honestly, I'm not even sure how to use that flag correctly (if that's even the right flag at all). I tried adding a class name right after it but it couldn't find the class. Searching online for an hour has done no good. The documentation really stinks for ASDoc and so does the help system you can call with a -help flag. Any ideas? Thanks.

[flexcoders] Flexbuilder 3 Java problems
I'm having Java runtime problems with Flexbuilder 3 again. I swear, I'm so tired of this. I've never had software that kept breaking so much. I've done nothing to Flex (though maybe my company has), and it seems to break every six months or so. So weird. Anyway, the problem is when I try and launch FB3, I get the following message: Could not create the Java virtual machine Then I click the OK button and it quits. So I thought, OK, I'll make sure I have Java installed, that I have the latest installed. Nope, that didn't work (installing Java 6 and putting the newer Java files into FB3's JRE folder) - so I moved the previous ones back into the JRE folder. Right now, the JRE version installed in my C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\jre folder is version 6. So then I thought maybe Java was messed up in my Eclipse folder, but I couldn't find any Java references in there. I see in my Java control panel (windows XP) that I have the following on my system: Platform: 1.6, Product: 1.6.0_14, Path: C:Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe Enabled: true Platform: 1.6, Product: 1.6.0_5, Path: C:Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05\bin\javaw.exe Enabled: true Platform: 1.4, Product: 1.4.2_17, Path: C:Program Files\Java\jre1.4.2_17\bin\javaw.exe Enabled: true Any clues on how to fix this?

RE: [flexcoders] Digest Number 10715
Tim Rowe wrote: The use of 'VO's in Flex has always confused me, largely because as everyone I've spoken to has explained it, all a 'Value' object is is just a Model object - therefore WTF are they being referred to as 'VO's when 'Object' (or Model object) would suffice. Tim, I have always thought of a model and a VO or DTO differently. I think this is a good quick explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Transfer_Object From an MVC perspective, I think a model class contains information sure, but it can and often does contain methods to run logic on data, to retrieve data, to broadcast that data is ready or changed, etc. A Value Object (VO) or Data Transfer Object (DTO) - (two terms for the same thing, I usually call them VOs because you don't always transfer them per se) are simple classes that only contain properties that can be get and/or set. They do not contain methods, constructors, or any other form of logic. They are dumb in a sense, only serving as information repositories. There is good logic in this I think. I use them all the time. And I don't think they are only for moving data around in, they are useful in single session storing of information. So often a model contains references to (say in as a property which could be the VO directly or several in an Array or ArrayCollection) and also may change data within VOs, as well as broadcast when something changes. That's my perspective anyway.

[flexcoders] Unloading/stopping sounds from SWFLoader .swf
I'm having a problem getting sounds from .swfs (both AVM1 and AVM2) to
stop playing. I am adding these .swfs (loaded with SWFLoader) onto a
Canvas in my Flex application. The instance of my SWFLoader is
_swfLoader which I add as a child to the _demoCanvas Canvas. Here is
what I have tried (my lame attempt at garbage collection):
private function hideScreenAnimation():void

_swfLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSwfLoaded);
_swfLoader.removeEventListener(Event.UNLOAD, onSwfUnload);
_swfLoader = null;
removeChild(_demoCanvas);
_demoCanvas = null;
SoundMixer.stopAll();
}
I can't seem to locate any unload() method for SWFLoader instances or
SWFLoader.content. SoundMixer.stopAll() seems to have no effect.
Again, these are both AVM1 and AVM2 .swfs which contain sounds. I don't
have any control over the AVM1 files, they are produced by someone else
using another app (Captivate and Camtasia). The AVM2 .swf is just a
simple .swf I made with Flash CS3 and contains a sound on the timeline.
Thanks, any help is appreciated. I've researched this enough with Google
and none of the suggestions I've found seem to work.

[flexcoders] Questions about Canvas and TitleWindow
I'm creating some components on the fly with Actionscript in an MXML project. 1) For TitleWindow, where can I set the alpha of the surrounding title bar area, or whatever it's called? By default, it looks to be about 20% alpha. 2) For Canvas, how can I set the color? If I create it with code, there is no color property (according to Flexbuilder), but if I use MXML, there is. It inherits from Container, and UIComponent, so I don't understand why with Actionscript's the compiler is giving an error that there is no color property. All I really want is a nice background container of some kind to hold a .swf file - either one of these would see to do the job, if only I could set those properties like I can in MXML. Why do the properties available seem to be inconsistent between MXML and Actionscript?

[flexcoders] Flash e-learning list revived
Hey everyone. (Apologies in advance - I'm sorry that this is a blatant cross post to more than one e-mail list. If anyone knows me, they know I despise people who cross post questions on e-mail lists, or worse, marketing/products, but this is neither and I think maybe this one is an exception. I was going to e-mail each list individually anyway over time, so I guess it doesn't matter.) There was a discussion list that was in good use a while ago, Flashelearning, and it slowly died from lack of participation (small user base) back in the fall of 2007. Well, we've revived it and have some good discussion started (a post this morning is about a cool Flex-based drawing/collaboration/chat app for training people online). The list would greatly compliment (NOT replace) this list if you do e-learning / multimedia training work using Flash platform technologies like Flash, Flex, Captivate, AIR, Camtasia, Articulate, FlashDevelop etc. as well as general e-learning discussions on topics like SCORM, AICC, accessibility Section 508, QTI, using Javascript, XML, evaluation, inspiration, learner theory, etc. - though mostly focused on using the Flash platform for creating e-learning. You can subscribe to this e-mail list here: http://www.freelists.org/list/flashelearning If you're in the flash platform world and also work to deliver e-learning, hope to see you both asking and answering questions there.

[flexcoders] XSLT Processor for AS3?
I've asked this on several lists, and Twitter, never had a single reply yet. Hoping someone here knows. Is there an XSLT parser/processor for Actionscript 3? I would like an Actionscript native one to transform some XML client-side. I have the XSLT file for it already written, which I verified works fine transforming with Javascript and IE browser's DOM, but I'm looking for an Actionscript solution, not Javascript/IE, PHP or anything else. Does this kind of class exist for Actionscript 3? If not, I'm surprised nobody has written one - maybe just too much work? In an ideal world, I am imagining someone has a class (or component) that takes two arguments, an XML string or URL and an XSLT file, and returns the transformed XML in the new format. Anyone know if this thing exists or at least is being worked on by either Adobe or the os community?

[flexcoders] Repeaters and Referencing Component IDs
I have a repeater inside a Viewstack working fine. i.e., the Tree
component gets created over and over as expected, however, I would like
to access an array of all the mx:Image instances, so I can load images
into them with Actionscript later (the file name for the image is not
loaded into the app until after the repeater runs and the XML is
loaded).
I thought inside a repeater, the examples I have seen
(http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/using_the_repeater/ - see
the last example on that page) indicate that the id tag converts to an
array of each repeated component. However, when I trace _image.length
(ensuring I'm checking after Application.COMPLETE fires), it's always 1,
even though the dataprovider length for the repeater is 5. Here is the
relevant MXML part of my script:
mx:ViewStack selectedIndex={buttonBar.selectedIndex}
mx:Repeater id=cubeSideRepeater dataProvider={arr}
mx:VBox width={vBoxWidth} height={toggleButtonBarHeight}
backgroundColor={vBoxBackgroundColor}verticalAlign=middle
horizontalAlign=center hideEffect=cache showEffect=cube
mx:HBox
mx:Tree borderThickness=0 width={treeWidth}
height=100% dataProvider={_currentTreeNode} labelField=@label
itemClick=treeItemClicked(event) /
mx:Spacer width=5/
mx:Image id=_images /
/mx:HBox

/mx:Repeater

[flexcoders] Best way to toggle elements in ArrayCollections
So in my Flex 3 project I have an ArrayCollection, like this:
[Bindable]
private var myDataProvider:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(
[
{country:Apple, quantity:5},
{country:Pear, quantity:3},
{country:Banana, quantity:7},
]);
This is the dataprovider for another visual component (this is not the
actual data, I've simplified it for the sake of clarity in asking this
question). I have some checkboxes that I want to use to toggle elements
in and out of the arrayCollection, thus changing what's shown in the
visual component which is bound by databinding. I thought about just
having a visual property in the dataprovider, but then found out I
cannot access display list items in this third party chart component I
am using, so the only way to change what is shown in the chart component
is to change what's contained in the array collection.
My question is, while I can think of ways to do this (adding and
removing elements in the ArrayCollection), but they all involve some
pretty ugly Actionscript. Is there a good way to handle this, but keep
my data intact? How would you use checkboxes to toggle data in and out
of the ArrayCollection elegantly?
Thanks,

[flexcoders] OT: FP Ubiquity Stats Lack Silverlight Comparison
Excuse the mild OT, just curious if anyone knows why Microsoft Silverlight stats are not included here in penetration comparisons: http://www.adobe.com/products/player_census/flashplayer/ It would seem to me, with Silverlight having fairly low penetration stats I would imagine (even after the Olympics) that this would be a huge marketing plus for Adobe. Millward Brown, commissioned by Adobe, did the survey just this past June, it seems silly the product most closely competing with the Flash Player is Silverlight and it's not included in the comparison. And if someone at Adobe is listening, this is important since this page is linked to from some Creative Suite 4 promo pages on the site, for example, the page touting Illustrator's Flash player capabilities: http://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator/?promoid=BPDEG Anyway, just a mild rant for the day. J Maybe someone can pass this on to the right folks at Adobe.

[flexcoders] Re: .swf displays fine, but MovieClip methods fail
I searched embed swf moviecliploaderasset and the third result was an
example from colin moock that had the secret sauce in it
Thanks Alex - I think the problem in my search was that I didn't know when you
[Embed] a swf, it loaded the .swf into MovieClipLoaderAsset when the clip was
embedded into the .swf to begin with. So I would have never searched on that
term. Are you presenting at Max? I'd be interested in attending one of your
sessions, you've provided a lot of answers to me in the past.
This example may also help
http://www.cflex.net/showfiledetails.cfm?ChannelID=1Object=FileobjectID=690
Thanks Amy, that seems to be exactly what I was looking for. Looks like it's
much funkier and more complicated than you would think communicating with an
AVM2 .swf file.

[flexcoders] .swf displays fine, but MovieClip methods fail
I'm displaying some sprites inside a Flex 3 container with Actionscript. So
far on this project, the sprites I have been showing have been visually drawn
on the screen either by embedding an image or by drawing with sprite.graphics
methods. Now, I'm trying to embed a .swf, and it works (it displays and plays),
but MovieClip method actions attempting to control the embedded .swf fail.
My first thought was I published as AM1 on accident, but the .swf is AVM2 -
Flash CS3 published as Player 9 and Actionscript 3. The .swf contains an
animation on it's root, no child clips. See the comments in the code below
(this is a simplified version of the class, I stripped out everything I thought
was irrelevant to my question). Does it have to do with a MovieClip being a
child to a Sprite? If so, why? If not, what's the issue with the code below?
package com.venice.view.network.atom
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class AtomView extends Sprite
{
private var _menu:MovieClip;
[Embed(source = /media/buttons/atomMenu.swf)]
[Bindable]
private var _menuSource:Class;
public function AtomView()
{
createSprites();
}
private function createSprites():void
{
//this works fine, the menu.swf appears:
_menu = new _menuSource() as MovieClip;
addChild(_menu);
//however, the following MovieClip actions don't work.
//For example, (when uncommented), the following
actions
//have no effect on the root timeline:
//
//_menu.stop();
//
//or if I put a stop action on the .swf
timeline, these don't work either:
//_menu.nextFrame();
//or
//_menu.play();
//
//why? It's a Flash 9/Actionscript 3.0 .swf created
with Flash CS3.
}
}
}
Thanks for any help.

[flexcoders] Re: problem adding images to UIComponents using AS3
OK, let me back up here. First, thanks to those who responded. So I thought
by isolating my problem with an example (heck, I'm not even using Canvas) it
would shed light on why this bug is occuring, but it isn't unfortunately, I'm
more or less confusing the real problem with y'all. Sorry. So maybe what I
thought was the problem was instead something else.
Here is my actual project code, and a description of the setup. The problem
is, the image is not getting attached to the sprite, even though the sprite is
showing up in the display list just fine (the graphics draw from code - but the
image doesn't show). I know the path to the image is right, I can use the same
embed and new Image() code elsewhere in my app to make the image appear. Here
is the code and the setup in the application:
package com.venice.view.network.groupingTool
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import mx.controls.Image;
public class GroupHandle extends Sprite
{
public var id:int;
public const FILL_COLOR:uint = 0xff;
public const FILL_ALPHA:Number = .5;
public const STROKE_COLOR:uint = 0x00;
public const STROKE_THICKNESS:Number = 1;
public const STROKE_ALPHA:Number = 1.0;
public const SIZE:Number = 10;
[Embed(source = /media/icons/control_repeat_blue.png)]
[Bindable]
private var _moveGroupImage:Class;
public function GroupHandle():void
{
//this works:
graphics.clear();
graphics.lineStyle(STROKE_THICKNESS, STROKE_COLOR,
STROKE_ALPHA);
graphics.beginFill(FILL_COLOR, FILL_ALPHA);
graphics.drawRect(-(SIZE/2), -(SIZE/2), SIZE/2, SIZE/2);
graphics.endFill();
//this doesn't:
var icon:Image = new Image();
icon.source = _moveGroupImage;
addChild(icon);
}
}
}
This class, GroupHandle.as, which extends Sprite, is added in the display list
in my application as follows:
Application (main MXML)network (Panel based MXML component)
groupsLayerUI (a UIComponent, necessary because it's added to a Panel
container) groupingTool (.as class that extends Sprite) groupHandle (.as
class that extends Sprite)
The groupsLayerUI UIComponent seems to be fine holding other content, and even
in the groupHandle, it renders drawn graphics just fine. Just not the image.
Even if I size the UIComponent, it doesn't work. It's not making any sense to
me why this image doesn't appear in this sprite, even though it will appear in
other places in my app, and even though other graphics in the sprite appear
fine. I thought maybe it had something to do with also drawing on the same
sprite, but that's not it either, I removed that code and it still fails to
load the embedded image. Can someone figure out what could be wrong? Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: problem adding images to UIComponents using AS3
You can draw those graphics in a UIComponent so I would
have grouphandle subclass UIComponent and not Sprite.
Thanks Alex, I tried that, but still no joy, AND the graphics don't render now
either for some strange reason. All I did is change my previously posted code
to: public class GroupHandle extends UIComponent (and I also imported
UIComponent of course). Here is the class, still not showing the image.
Thanks for any further help you can provide:
package com.venice.view.network.groupingTool
{
import mx.controls.Image;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
public class GroupHandle extends UIComponent
{
public const FILL_COLOR:uint = 0xff;
public const FILL_ALPHA:Number = .5;
public const STROKE_COLOR:uint = 0x00;
public const STROKE_THICKNESS:Number = 1;
public const STROKE_ALPHA:Number = 1.0;
public const SIZE:Number = 10;
[Embed(source = /media/icons/control_repeat_blue.png)]
private var _moveGroupImage:Class;
public function GroupHandle():void
{
graphics.clear();
graphics.lineStyle(STROKE_THICKNESS, STROKE_COLOR,
STROKE_ALPHA);
graphics.beginFill(FILL_COLOR, FILL_ALPHA);
graphics.drawRect(-(SIZE/2), -(SIZE/2), SIZE/2, SIZE/2);
graphics.endFill();
var icon:Image = new Image();
icon.source = _moveGroupImage;
icon.setActualSize(100, 100)
addChild(icon);
}
}
}

[flexcoders] problem adding images to UIComponents using AS3
I don't get why this code is failing, it's reproducible if you put an image in
the path shown below. (This isn't the actual code in my app, I just isolated a
problem and made the problem reproducible it here. In my real app, it's
failing to embed an image into a class that is added to a UI component. The
class extends Sprite).
The first Image class instance declared with MXML embeds the image just fine.
The second, using a UIComponent and adding an instance of the image class to it
fails. Why? See comments in the code below:
?xml version=1.0?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
mx:Script

import mx.controls.Image;

private var myHelpImageSource:Class;
private function initUI():void
{
var myHelpImage:Image = new Image();
myHelpImage.source = myHelpImageSource;
myUIComponent.addChild(myHelpImage);
trace(initUI called.)//traces fine
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Panel width=100% height=100%
mx:Canvas width=600 height=500
!-- this works to embed the image--
mx:Image source={myHelpImageSource} x=50 y=50 /
!-- this fails to embed the image using ActionScript
above - why? --

[flexcoders] ColorPicker.selectedColor to #hex
I don't mean for this to be a cross-post, I sent it to Flashcoders
accidentally.
This must have been done many times before. How can I translate the
ColorPicker.selectedValue to a 6 digit hex number? i.e. if the color
selected is, 66, if I trace ColorPicker.selectedColor, traces 102. I
tried gooling for an Actionscript hex converter, but didn't come up with
anything. This is in order to display the selected hex# to the user as
#006699, not to manipulate the number.
Thanks.

{
var hexString:String = Number(number).toString(16);
while (hexString.length 6) hexString = 0 + hexString;

if (addOx) hexString = 0x + hexString;
if (upperCase) hexString = hexString.toUpperCase();

[flexcoders] Re: remover water mark from Trial version
The OP needs to buy a license to the charting components if they want to
compile them. Compiliing them for someone else is illegal. The license is for
single-use only. You could argue, well, I compiled some source code with a
legal copy, so it's legal,- I don't think Adobe's lawyers would see it that
way. You're compiling somene else's project so they can get around the license
issue, and I think that gets pretty dicey. Imagine if someone setup a
business, Hey, I'll compile your flex project for you for $9.95, so you never
have to buy the full Pro version with charting. Hmph. Even if you could get
away with it legally, I think it's fairly unethical. But then there are the
types who don't buy music or movies either.

[flexcoders] Setting up custom component listener
Such a stupid question. I am trying to assign a listener to a custom
component. It broadcasts a simple event. Here is a dumbed-down version of the
code I am using:
mx:Application applicationComplete=init()
xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
xmlns:c=com.project.components.*
mx:Script
![CDATA[
private function init():void
{
myComponent.addEventListner(myEvent, onMyEvent);
}
private function onMyEvent():void
{
trace(onMyEvent heard.)
}
]]
/mx:Script
c:MyComponent id=myComponent/
/mx:Application
!--Here is a simplified version of the component: --
!--com/project/components/MyComponent.mxml: --
mx:Canvas xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.events.Event;
private function broadcastClicked():void
{
dispatchEvent(new Event(myEvent))
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Checkbox click=broadcastClicked()/
/mx:Canvas
However, I get a runtime error for the init() event that myComponent is null.
I would have thought that calling it on applicationComplete would ensure that
the instance of my component was there. Why not and how instead do I add the
listener for it? Thankya

[flexcoders] One custom component referring to another
I thought this would be simple - having one custom display object modify
another through a reference:
mx:Application
c:MyComponentA /
c:MyComponentB /
/mx:Application
I want to have MyComponentA refer to objects/methods inside of MyComponentB. I
tried passing a reference in:
mx:Application
c:MyComponentA id=myComponentA /
c:MyComponentB componentToModify={myComponentA}/
/mx:Application
But I get an error saying, Access of possibly undefined property myComponentA
through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
I tried calling parent.myComponentA from actionscript inside of
MyComponentB.MXML, but it couldn't find the instance of myComponentA.
How do you handle this? I know this probably isn't ideal architecture, but
would there have to be scripts that listen for events in one component in the
main app and then modify the other component? I guess I could do that if it is
best practice. I need the two components to be separated because they are two
different parts of the UI, but need to interact. One has controls that change
the view and data in the other. Does it have to modify the other component
from actionscript on the main app or can I just pass a reference into one
component like I have tried?
Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: One custom component referring to another
Well, we're using Cairngorm on this project, so I think I'm going to use
Cairngorm events and commands and centralize this, instead of trying to
establish any tight coupling between components. It's a control bar with
checkboxes effecting the view of another visual componet in another part of the
app. Thanks everyone, great discussion.

RE: [flexcoders] best way to update a display object's VO's x and y props?
Why not read in the initial X and Y values of the VO, then as it's dragged, update the X and Y values back in the VO.

RE: [flexcoders] Where is adobe? Come to universities!
So Microsoft is presenting at Universities, and Adobe isn't. Well, unfortunately for Adobe, Microsoft has huge financial pockets, which is the greatest threat to the Flash platform in my opinion. I'm not saying Adobe can't promote Flash/Flex at universities, but it's certainly true they don't have anywhere near the amount of resources Microsoft has to promote products. I think Adobe will have to use some creative marketing strategies to better compete with the massive Silverlight push Microsoft is developing.

[flexcoders] FB2 Keyboard Shortcut to insert variables/member names?
I looked in the Key Assist in Flexbuilder 2 and the help and online, couldn't find this shortcut. At least, wasn't obvious to me what it was called. Very useful if it exists: Anyone know if there is a keyboard shortcut in the code editor for inserting a variable or method name (FB2)? I would imagine you could hit a key combination and get a list of public and private variables in the class, as well as names of public and private functions, which you could select from, hit enter and FB would insert it at the cursor. I get tired of looking up at the top of my class and trying to remember what I called something and then either typing or copying and pasting - any way to do this? Thanks.

And to clarify further, I don't mean code hinting once you type the
class instance or static name myClass.[Hint] or MyClass.[hint] -
what I mean is if you are on a blank line and you want to insert a
member name from the same class:
private var _b:String;
private function a():void
{
junk()
moreJunk();
[Codehint/auto-insert for _b] //==new blank line
}
I can see this stuff in the Outline, but I would like to insert members
via a keyboard shortcut.

Second, Adobe has said publicly that the release of FlexBuilder 3 will occur sometime around the middle of the first quarter.

RE: [flexcoders] as3 global variables - no more
Global is bad and went directly against OOP.

By the way, is there a way to get the scrollbar's width (for the
vertical scrollbar) and height style (for the horizontal scroll bar) in

Here is a lot written by Jesse Warden on Silverlight from his Flash/Flex perspective: http://jessewarden.com/category/silverlight Also, here is a list I compiled last summer after speaking with a Silverlight engineer. Some things in Silverlight may have changed since then, hope this helps some. Pros Integrates very very well with .NET/Visual Studio Programming in C#, VisualBasic, Javascript, Python, or Ruby - CLR (Common Language Runtime) Easier for .NET developers to start developing for than Flash Microsoft deep-pocket backing and product integration All code remains external, no republishing after coded update like you do with Flash Runs on Mac OSX, Windows XP and Vista Cons Requires programming in C#, Javascript (inconsistent across browsers), VisualBasic, Python, or Ruby Not geared towards multimedia artists, learning community Not supported or pushed by the bank, virtually no market penetration outside the bank Not a mature product, not market-tested Does not integrated with Adobe's creative design tools Is not currently supported on Cell phones and several PDAs Does not support Flash media (.swf or .flv) i.e. Captivate or Articulate Visual experiences demo'ed so far are not nearly as impressive as Flash Silverlight is geared more towards RIA development, so it's more of a Flex competitor than standard Flash Does not run on older Mac OS, Linux and older versions of Windows Does not support alpha channel video CD and local drive Silverlight runtime not available as publishing option Expression Designer, Expression Blend used to design Siliverlight applications are immature tools and lack many features compared to CS3 products Not as easy to develop for those who are not familiar with .NET, or Javascript Flash video is primary format of major video sites like YouTube and Google Video, not Microsoft WMV Unfamiliar design environment for Flash developers to migrate to Does not immediately stream - requires XAML to parse first. Some Flash developers say Siliverlight has 80% fewer features than Flash. While this number may be inaccurate, a Silverlight rep did confirm Silverlight has fewer features than Flash runtime. No free opensource development options No 3D possible (Flash has Papervision or Sandy 3d and other Opensource 3D Libraries available) No deep-linking possible yet h.264 Video support Javascript only development right now - (all Visual Studio languages coming soon) Jason Merrill Bank of America GTO LLD Solutions Design Development eTools Multimedia Bank of America Flash Platform Developer Community From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nate Pearson Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 1:41 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Adobe People, Save me from Silverlight!

Included in the debate is Photoshop vs Expressions (I know I know). Although I love .NET for the back end I think that flex should be used for our RIA solutions. I was hoping that the fine hard working folks at Adobe already have a document that clearly lays out the advantages of Flex over Silverlight. If so, I would greatly appreciate it being sent to me.

Yes, when repeater instantiates components, it creates a array
of ids for each specific id, so each mySlider has an id mySlider[n]
where n is the index of the item.
The cleanest way to deal with this is to create a custom
component containing all the components and repeat that component. Pass
in a reference to the entire currentItem into a typed setter function.
You will find that doing this simplifies repeater work
immensely, especially when you need to dispatch an event and access the
dataProvider item in the handler. You will not need getRepeaterItem().

Below are some snippets.
Tracy
When working with Repeater, I advise creating a custom component
that you will repeat, and pass it the entire currentItem, In the
component, implement a setter function to receive the currentItem
data.
Now, in the component, you can code normally, binding to the
data as you wish, without the hard to read currentItem references. You
also avoid the binding warnings without the cast/conversion because the
binding source is a true XML object.
And, you can dispatch events normally. In the event handler,
you can reference the component via the event.target property, and thus
get a direct reference to the dataProvider item. This is easier to
write and read than having to use getRepeaterItem().
Here are some code snippets:
In the main app or component (note how clean and readable this
is):
mx:Application
mx:VBox ...
mx:Repeater id=rp dataProvider={_xmlData} ...
mycomp:MyRepeatedComponent xmlItem={rp.currentItem} .../
/mx:Repeater
/mx:VBox
And in the component, MyRepeatedComponent.mxml:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:HBox ...

}//
]]/mx:Script
!-- Now declare the Item UI --
mx:Text id=lbDescription text=[EMAIL PROTECTED]
width=100% height=100% /
Goal: Display a list of items using a complex display for each
item, and have each of those items behave like a menu element and
respond to a click anywhere on the item by running a handler function.
One solution is to use a Repeater with a custom component
In the main app or component, declare the Repeater, and the
click handler function.
mx:Application ...
mx:Script![CDATA[
import MyRepeaterItem;
...
private function onRPItemClick(oEvent:Event):void
{
var xmlItem:XML = XML(oEvent.target);
}//onRPItemClick
]]/mx:Script
mx:VBox ...
mx:Repeater id=rp dataProvider={_xmlData} ...
!-- Note we pass in the entire currentItem, and define a
click handler --
MyRepeaterItem xmlItem={rp.currentItem}
itemClick=onRPItemClick(event) .../
/mx:Repeater
/mx:VBox
/mx:Application
And in the component, MyRepeaterItem.mxml:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:HBox mouseChildren=false buttonMode=true
click=onClick(event)
!-- The metadata tag below allows us to define an itemClick
handler in mxml, as in the code above --
mx:Metadata
[Event(name=itemClick, type=flash.events.Event)]
/mx:Metadata
mx:Script![CDATA[
[Bindable]private var _xmlItem:XML;
/** Setter function */
public function set xmlItem(xml:XML):void
{
_xmlItem = xml;
//do any special, non-bound ui stuff you want
}//set xmlItem
/** Getter function */
public function get xmlItem():XML
{
return _xmlItem;
}//get xmlItem
/** Outer VBox Click handler function */
private function onClick():void
{
dispatchEvent(new Event(itemClick,false); //we do not
need/want this event to bubble
}//onClick
]]/mx:Script
!-- Now declare the Item UI --
mx:Text id=lbDescription text=[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [flexcoders] DataGrid limit on amount of records or data?
As a side note, taking a step back, why would you want to present that many records at a time to the user? It seems anything above a few hundred is overly cumbersome to wade through, and should perhaps instead be filtered further. No? True in most cases I guess, but I can think of a few use cases where Id want to load a severe amount of data. Can you? (-; No, I guess I can't think of cases when showing 10,000 records with no filtering would be important in a Flex app. What examples were you thinking of?

RE: [flexcoders] HBox children alignment?
Thanks - as you can see in my original post, I did try the second method you mentioned (horizontalAlign), but it failed. The first one works (though it seems slightly like a bit of a hack). Thanks.
