Can a Listener program return a value back to a program that set this
listener up?
Thanks
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Can a Listener return a value
That's probably because it's pseudocode, rather than real code.
Every event listener is passed an event object, and on that event object
a property called target exists that is a back reference to the object
that dispatched the event. You can use that back reference to send a
parameter back to the dispatching object.
Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead using this, because the event
dispatcher should be able to set said parameter itself (Plus it's a
recipe for an infinite dispatch loop), but it certainly answers your
question.

UIComponent doesn't have a property called isClosed, therefore your
attempt to access that property on an instance cast to UIComponent will
throw an error. What you need to do is have each class implement an
interface called IClosable or something along those lines, and cast to
that.

A compile time error occurs in the if statement. But isn't this where

[flexcoders] CSS Compile directives
I've just run across an odd behavior within Flex 3 and certain compiler directives, as follows: 1. Compiler options includes a -load-config+= directive. This directive ensures the compiler to includes a certain list of classes, via includes append=truesymbolclasspath/symbol/includes 2. In a subdirectory of the src root (in an locales directory) we have a series of .css files that are compiled externally for localization. In testing them, I attempted to right-click and select Compile CSS to SWF, and this worked fine. 3. Now I attempted to compile main.mxml, which is sitting at the actual project src root. This threw an error that it could not find the list of classes found in step 1 (Unable to resolve a class for include: blah blah blah). 4. Doing some digging, I found the following items added to .actionScriptProperties, whose removal fixed the issue. buildCSSFiles buildCSSFileEntry destPath=somepath sourcePath=someotherpath/ /buildCSSFiles It seems to me that once you right-click a CSS file, it is flagged as a file to compile rather than include as seen above, and when one does a project compile it helpfully builds it for you... except that the src root for when the .css file is compiled this second time (automatically) is not the src root of the entire project, but rather the folder in which the .css file itself resides (or some other value). Now, in my case I shouldn't be compiling those classes into every local css file anyway, so I've written an ant script to automate the entire process. Even so it seems like the CSS files that are compiled should be accessible somehow in the project configuration (perhaps under Flex Applications) and that their src root be kept in line with everything else.

RE: [flexcoders] mxml loader
This is possible two different ways: 1- With the livecycle server, which will compile your mxml on the fly and then send the resulting swf to your application. This costs a lot of money. 2- By using some kind of object encoding (coreLib.JSON might be able to do this), converting the string to a UIComponentDescriptor, and then adding it to a management class using createComponentFromDescriptor(). Note that in this case you're not actually passing MXML I highly reccomend you avoid the latter- dynamically sending object descriptors of _any_ type is just asking for someone to inject their own descriptors and thus backdoor your application.

[flexcoders] IUIComponent Cross-IDE Component Development
I'm currently writing a couple of DisplayObject based components whose optimal implementation would allow their use both via MXML, AS3, or within the Flash IDE, without forcing the end-user to have either of the two component libraries. Since this means I can't use either of the UIComponent classes, UIObject or the IUIComponent interface (Since each is distributed with the associated IDE and I can't make the assumption that my end-user has both), I've written my own sprite extension class that handles some basic delayed instantiation and updating- easy enough. The catch now is that when you're trying to add anythign to an UIContainer (via MXML or addChild), it demands it implement IUIComponent, else it throws a runtime error. I have two questions: 1- Is there some elegant way of circumventing this (I'm aware of creating a second UIComponent 'wrapper' class only for use in flex- not elegant, but servicable), and: 2- If not, am I allowed to include and distribute the source for IUIComponent (with no modifications) with my own source release (BSD License, not a source of income) so that the component will compile properly? My gut instinct answers to these questions are: 1- No, unless you can implement IUIComponent, and 2- No, the license agreement prevents me from doing this. Can someone prove me wrong?

RE: [flexcoders] Photo print service
Sortof? When developing HP Print Studio (http://www.hp.com/printstudio) we ran into this very same issue, but instead of photos we had multiple high resolution template assets that were only loaded when a printjob was requested. Given our use cases (most users don't have duplex printers) we didn't actually have to do multi-page printing so it's not quite what you're looking for, but the implementation might be similar. Basically what you want to create is a temporary sandbox object that exists on the displaylist (so content is rendered) but doesn't actually show anything (height and width = 0). Within that object you compose your print pages, paying special attention to keep track of how many images are currently loading using event listeners- in particular the load complete event. Once everything's signaled that it's ready you print, and in the meantime put up a progress bar popup of some kind. You might also be able to do delayed page instantiation, that is: create a page, wait for it to finish, add it to the print job, destroy it, move to the next page. This will give you better memory management overall (I think) since you don't have to load your entire photo album into ram before printing. Also, be careful about your image sizes: Images in memory suck up a LOT of ram.

Not just a hey, the application threw a runtime error, I mean a do-not-pass-go, do-not-output-useful-debug-stack, do-not-write-useful-info-to-log, .ocx illegal exception that kills the browser. So my question is: What methods have you guys used to track these things down? I've gone the massive trace statement route, but that's proven less than helpful. Assume FB3, compiling to 2.0.1, IE FF testing on player versions r28, r45, r47 and r60. IE gives some slightly useful information: Unhandled exception at 0x3006c907 in iexplore.exe: 0xC005: Access violation reading location 0x. Under other circumstances I'd say it's an out-of-memory error since we've seen those before, but the application has since been scrubbed and optimized and profiled to death, and doesn't suck up more than 35 megs on a bad day.

RE: [flexcoders] Capture Flex screen to e-mail...
The graphic nature of Flex makes it so your only real option is to screenshot the application and mail it to them as a graphic. To do this within Flex, see whether Application implements IBitmapDrawable- that will allow you to use bitmapData.draw() and get the raw display data. Once you have that, you've got two options: If you're in an AIR application, you can just write the file to the desktop and have them mail it. If not, you'll need to bounce it out to a server and mail it from there. Make sure you call BitmapData.dispose() though- they're normally passed over by garbage collection.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Capture Flex screen to e-mail...
Search the docs :). Looks like IBitmapDrawable is implemented by BitmapData and by DisplayObject. Since Application extends DisplayObject (well, eventually) it looks like you can do the following: var bmp :BitmapData = new BitmapData(Application.application.width, Application.application.height, false); bmp.draw(Application.application); Just don't be surprised if your memory usage spikes and you get .OCX errors on machines with little memory.

RE: [flexcoders] this in parent classes
A bit more information: I am attempting to initialize a series of bindings in an Abstract class. For the sake of argument, lets say that we have the class Abstract, the class Child, are extending Canvas, and are attempting to bind to a singleton data model. During childrenCreated I'm calling a protected method called initializeBindings(). This method is extended in the child. Both the child and abstract versions of initializeBindings create a binding using BindingUtils and this. The child class calls super.initializeBindings(). Observed behavior: Case 1: super.initializeBindings() is called before child BindingUtil.bindProperty() Debugger shows that this reference in child is appropriate. Shows that this reference in abstract has same memory address, but contains only _bindingsBeginWithWord and _bindingsByDestination. After attempting to call BindingUtil.bindProperty in the abstract class, the runtime environment fails silently and the stack is terminated (child's binding never gets called). Binding in the abstract class is never created. Case 2: super.initializeBindings() is called after child BindingUtil.bindProperty() Same as above regarding this, but in this case the binding created by the child has been created. The abstract has not. I've tested this both in 2.0 hotfix 3 and 3.0b2. Any pointers? I'd like to avoid creating these bindings in the child class, since due to the nature of code-generated bindings they interfere with garbagecollection, and the abstract class actually contains some destruction functionality.

To keep it simple, the person only has a name(String) and a photo(String - the URI). 2. A/ I have a databasetable with the following structure ObjectClass | propertyName | renderType B/ Another database table as follows renderType | bindPropertyName 3. I have an AS-class(UICF) in my own lib, having following method public static getUIComponent(object:Object, objectClass:Class, propertyName:String, propertyType:Class):UIComponent 4. I have a canvas What should happen: In the creationComplete of the canvas(4) a new Person is created: var p:Person = new Person(Foo, images/bar.jpg); Now the canvas(4) calls the getUIComponent(3) for rendering the image: var c:UIComponent = UICF.getUIComponent(p, Person, photo, String); The method(3) returns the correct component, being an imagecomponent and the canvas(4) just adds it to it's children: this.addChild(c); The problem is inside getUIComponent(3). This method should do a call to my database to find out which type of component it should create and which property to set. For this example, the db would look like this: First Table ObjectClass | propertyName | renderType Person photo Image Second Table renderType | bindPropertyName Image source However, if I recall correctly, all database requests made by Flex are Asynchronous. One option I see, is to have a boolean which gets sets by a resulthandler, and create a lock-up-loop in getUIComponent. However there might just be another (better?) way, to wait for my response and then create and return the correct component. Thanks in advance, --Johan

RE: [flexcoders] MXML vs. pure ActionScript
I'm with Paul on this one. MXML is wonderful for layout, because I'm familiar with the HTML world and the metaphors are all the same (which means you can get someone less experienced to do layout tweaks :-). But when it comes to a standalone and fairly complex component, pure actionscript enables all the fancy outline and collapse features that MXML just doesn't. Basically, ask yourself this question: Is what you're building visual (MXML)? Or functional (AS)?

Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to create a reference in MXML (so
that you can later use it as a variable and also easily use bindings)
but not add it to the parent's children?
i.e.
mx:Canvas
mx:Script
Private function someEvent()
{
PopUpManager.addPopUp(titleWindow);
}
/mx:Script
mx:TitleWindow/
/mx:Canvas
I don't want the title window to be shown inside the canvas, I just want

RE: [flexcoders] Detecting browser window close event?
I think there's a cheap-hack way of doing this. Use ExternalInterface to call eval to write a Javascript event listener to the document, and have it pass the event back through to the swf. Just remember that IE has two events for close, though I don't exactly recall what they are- one fires before the document is actually closed, and the other fires after.

[flexcoders] Bug in DragManager
So, I've been working with the DragManager for a bit now, and I'm
wondering whether or not what I've found was a design decision or simply
an omission. Cosnider the case of having a mouseEnabled=false
component (in my case a Canvas) lying on top of a drag target. The
following few lines of code (DragProxy.as 357-366):
// targetList is in depth order, and we want the top of the list.
However, we
// do not want the target to be a decendent of us.
var targetIndex:int = targetList.length - 1;
while (targetIndex = 0)
{
newTarget = targetList[targetIndex];
if (newTarget != this !contains(newTarget))
break;
targetIndex--;
}
ignores the mouseEnabled state, and the subsequent code fires the
DRAG_OVER event on the topmost non-selfcontained child in spite of
whether it should be receiving events. Now this could be easily solved
(the way I'm doing it) by overriding the appropriate function to check
for mouseEnabled, or to add a new property to InteractiveComponent like
isDragEnabled (since dragEnabled is used elsewhere for a different
scope), but I'm curious as to whether I'm missing an underlying
architectural decision.

RE: [flexcoders] Bug in DragManager
The way I'm rewriting it is that it skips over anything that's not an
InteractiveObject. In my particular case, I'm selecting an item from a
TileList (an Image) and letting the user drag/drop it onto a target that
then displays said image. An example application (since I can't describe
my own due to client non-disclosure agreements) would be placing decals
onto a vehicle- there's a non-regular shaped area that a particular
image can be placed into, and since the decal also needs to take on the
shading of the car, it would have the following layers (top to bottom):

You're welcome to file a bug so we can think about it, but I think
you're saying you want it so that non-mouseEnabled things like Shapes
and Bitmaps can't be drop targets or block something else from being the
droptarget, which seems kind of restrictive.
Are you using the canvas as a shield or are things just overlaid in
your app?

Subject: [flexcoders] Bug in DragManager
So, I've been working with the DragManager for a bit now, and I'm
wondering whether or not what I've found was a design decision or simply
an omission. Cosnider the case of having a mouseEnabled=false
component (in my case a Canvas) lying on top of a drag target. The
following few lines of code (DragProxy.as 357-366):
// targetList is in depth order, and we want the top of the list.
However, we
// do not want the target to be a decendent of us.
var targetIndex:int = targetList.length - 1;
while (targetIndex = 0)
{
newTarget = targetList[targetIndex];
if (newTarget != this !contains(newTarget))
break;
targetIndex--;
}
ignores the mouseEnabled state, and the subsequent code fires the
DRAG_OVER event on the topmost non-selfcontained child in spite of
whether it should be receiving events. Now this could be easily solved
(the way I'm doing it) by overriding the appropriate function to check
for mouseEnabled, or to add a new property to InteractiveComponent like
isDragEnabled (since dragEnabled is used elsewhere for a different
scope), but I'm curious as to whether I'm missing an underlying
architectural decision.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flash CS3 Components - Custom Properties Methods
I've been experimenting with Flex SWC Components developed in Flash
CS3 (using Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3).
I've successfully created some custom properties/methods on these
that I can use in Flex. Here's a quick example of a UIMovieClip
class extension:
package {
import mx.flash.UIMovieClip;
public dynamic class forestDragon extends UIMovieClip {
public var current_state : String = ;
public var my_name : String = ;
public var my_color : String = ;
public function forestDragon():void {
}
public function fly_begin():void {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
public function fly_end():void {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
}
So, in Flex I can then get/set the current_state variable and call
the fly_begin() and fly_end() methods as needed to start/stop the
component animations.
All of this works great, but I'm now faced with a new challenge. For
example, I want to be able to set my_color and/or my_name via Flex
and then have it change the color of the Flash object or change the
text underneath the animation to whatever my_name is set to, etc.
However, I can't figure out how I can reference these properties or
use them to control aspects of the Flash movie clip. I first tried
creating a dynamic text instance on the Flash movie clip but whenever
I publish the SWC it's throwing an error. I can add dynamic text
elements to the Flash movie clip, but if I give it an instance name
it won't compile/export.
Obviously, the real strength of Flex Components developed in Flash
CS3 comes when you can take advantage of custom properties/methods to
change aspects of the Flash movie clip dynamically via Flex. Am I
approaching this the right way, and if so (or not) can anyone provide
some direction/insight on how to accomplish this?
Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] localization options in flex 2
We're using something similar for a localization project of our own. The application pulls the configured language from the users preferences, the local system setting, or the application configuration (in that order) and based on that populates a Strings Value Object that's housed on our singleton application model. That same value object in itself is just a fancy proxy object that caches any strings that have been requested rather than retrieving from the XML every time a binding fires. If you can get your hands on a copy of Actionscript 3 with Design Patterns, the Settings Framework example on page 71 is pretty much what you need, though I warn you that your compiler will throw a whole slewful of warnings if you try to bind to it directly. I'm told that using ObjectProxy instead of Proxy will fix this, but I haven't had the chance to try it out.

Can I just localize the flex components and just load the corresponding text from a language XML file.

// in the view...

{
var login : LoginEvent = New LoginEvent();
login.username = username;
login.password = password;
CairngormEventDispatcher.getInstance().dispatchEvent(login);

// but this requires declaring username and password in the loginEvent
// i.e. in the LoginEvent;
public class LoginEvent extends CairngormEvent
{
public var username : String;
public var password : String;
// etc.
}
*
how do I enter data from the view to the loginEvents built in data
object?
i tried many things and they don't work including..
// in the view...
public function loginHandler ( username : String, password :
String):void
{
var login : LoginEvent = New LoginEvent();
login.data.username = username;
login.data.password = password;

if I need to declare the data variables in the LoginEvent could you
also let me know how, It wouldn't accept what I was trying to enter
either.

RE: [flexcoders] Entering and Passing Data to a Cairngorm Event?
Urm, right. My bad, didn't realize what you were asking.
Notice that in CairngormEvent, data isn't actually initialized to any
value. Thus what you'd be looking to do is initialize the object in the
constructor of your loginEvent before accessing it when you create the
event.
public function LoginEvent():void
{
data = new Object();
}
var myEvent :LoginEvent = new LoginEvent ();
myEvent.data.username = foo;
myEvent.data.password = bar;
Alternatively, if you just want to fire a CairgormEvent directly (note
that the comments advise against this) do the following:
var myEvent :CairngormEvent = new CairngormEvent();
myEvent.data = new Object();
myEvent.data.username = foo;
myEvent.data.password = bar;

[flexcoders] Compiler Error: Cruise Control Ant vs. Flex Builder/Eclipse
Does anyone have any experience with a distributed development environment using Cruise Control to handle central builds? Our application compiles fine in the IDE, however once we checkin our files and Cruise takes over we start getting these errors: A file found in a source-path must have an externally visible definition. If a definition in the file is meant to be externally visible, please put the definition in a package. The only substantial difference in environments is that the compiling server is Linux and all the development environments are Windows. My coworker Andrew just spent a lot of time trying to debug this, and has narrowed down the following: We compared the JDK's on my machine and on Cruise. Mine is version 1.6_01, while Cruise's is 1.6_02. So that is probably not the issue. If anything, mine should be having issues that Cruise does not. (Author's note: Mine is 1.6_02 and it works fine) We compared the Flex SDK's on my machine and on Cruise, doing a file-by-file comparison. There is no significant difference. Both of them are the same version (2.0.1) and have the Hotfix patch. I transferred the Cruise Control ant script to my desktop, modified the file paths appropriately, and ran the compile and compile_demo targets, and it built successfully. This indicated to us that there is no problem with the Cruise Control script. In fact, the point of failure reported by the Cruise Control server is in the compile target. As a last resort, we exported the last successful build revision, and modified the script to build it, and it succeeded. This just indicates that no Cruise Control server changes have taken place since that success, and that it is indeed due to the compiler. I'm afraid the size of the codebase and our confidentiality agreements prevents me from posting any example code. Nevertheless, I was wondering if anyone has encountered something like this before: Any suggestions? Michael Krotscheck Senior Developer RESOURCE INTERACTIVE www.resource.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]

before submitting it to the server. I have a way to recursively get
each child on the page. However, I can't figure out a way to see if
the child has the validate() method implemented. Most of the
components are extended from TextInputs, ComboBox, etc, where I've
integrated a validator into each one that is custom for that type. So
my custom components will have a validate method, however, other
components - like Images, Buttons, etc - on the page don't have a

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Setting flashVars via SWFloader
Might it be possible to listen for the complete event on the SWFLoader and then applying the variables directly? As long as the variables in the encapsulated flex application are bindable, any changes should be picked up- in other words you may not have to reload the app every time you change the variables.

Normally, this app is loaded into an HTML page and passed a number settings via flashVars. I've written a second app which facilitates the configuring of these custom settings. I've tried to load the first Flex .swf into the second application via SWFloader with the intent of showing the result of the various settings. I am able to pull the swf file in. But I need to be able to set the values for the flashVars, or if that is not possible - set the values for the corresponding internal variables. -- Any one done this? Even a simple example of on Flex .swf loading another. And setting the .text value of a textArea component in a second .swf would be exceedingly helpful. Sincerely, Jason
