[flexcoders] Introspection and ASSetPropFlags ()
Hi
all,
I'm trying to
introspect an object in Flex 1.5, and I'm trying to use ASSetPropFlags to do
it...but I'm getting an error saying that the method doesn't
exist:
Error /ROTest.as:7
There is no method with the name 'ASSetPropFlags'.
Should
that method work in Flex? Has any one had experience using it?
Here's my usage:
function gimmeBackResultHandler (result:Object){trace
("Begin gimmeBackResultHandler ()");ASSetPropFlags
(result,null,//Make all properties
viewable1,//Linux-like bitwise
permissionstrue//Whether these permissions can be
hidden again
later);for(prop in
result){ trace
(prop);}trace ("End gimmeBackResultHandler
()");}
Thanks...

RE: [flexcoders] Introspection and ASSetPropFlags ()
Thanks, Dirk.
I ended up not using ASSetPropFlags because it seems that
you can't have a Java Remote Object call return atype that doesn't already
have a AS equivalent class defined.

RE: [flexcoders] need help from web service in action script 2
Hi, I was unable to dynamically instantiate Webservice objects in ActionScript (this has been rather extensively discussed in this group previously). Macromedia pretty much told me that dynamic instantiation of Webservice objects was not supported in Flex 1.5, and that you must define the Webservice object statically in MXML. See the flex docs for how to do that, here's mine as a reference: mx:WebService fault="wsFault (event)" id="uiMgrWs" protocol="http" wsdl="http://localhost:8080/uimanager/UIManagerService?wsdl" mx:operation name="getAlerts" result="handleGetAlertsResult (event.result)"/ mx:operation name="getDSHeaders" result="handleGetDSHeadersResult (event.result)"/ mx:operation name="getDS" result="handleGetDSResult (event.result)"/ mx:operation name="makeDecision" result="handleMakeDecisionResult (event.result)"/ /mx:WebService Hope that's worth something to you!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Code-only Flex apps
Revisit this after you develop in Flex for about 2 months...you might find that you made life harder on yourself or that you are having a harder time making modifications. On the flipside, maybe you'll disagree with that entirely. The bottomline is that if you look @ Flex as a technology, as opposed to a language, it won't really matter to the developer whether he/she writes mxml or as. Both approaches represent the same thing in different ways. Would you want to write a complete native application's UI in C++? Or would you like to create the forms with the GUI builder IDE and then interface with those UI objects in C++? MXML vs. AS isn't EXACTLY the same as the example just given, but it's in the same ballpark. Again, do it your way and then revisit. I know I started with no MXML, and changed pretty quickly, but that's me!

[flexcoders] SWC creation in Flash...AS goes where?
Hi, I'm using Flash Studio 8 (demo version) for the 1st time...I see how to create SWCs - I create a new Flash document, I do some drawing on the stage, then select what I want to componentize, and drag it to the symbols panel. My new (movie clip) symbol would be my complete SWC, but I 1st need to write the necessary AS to extend mx.core.UIObject, right? Any idea where this AS gets written?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: WebServices via ActionScript
It depends on how you're going about your code base.
If you take a Struts-like MVC approach, hardly ANY code is in your mxml (or JSP)
files. Most of the dynamic code would be found in AS (or Java) classes
totally outside your presentation (mxml/jsp) files.
My problem was that deep in the bowels of my AS classes, I
would need to make a WS call. But I couldn't just create a WS client
because it had to be defined in mxml. So I had to either expose a method
in the script section of the mxml file that would make the WS call, or I had to
have a reference to the WS object that was defined in the
mxml.
Of course there are many refuting that, saying that you can
do it if you want (and I'm sure they're right), but we payed a ridiculous amount
for support and so I just assumed stick with what was documented so we could be
on the same wavelength as our tech support from Macromedia.
My issue with the mxml-only defined WS objects was that it
made it hard to organize the AS classes that needed to make WS
calls.

You cant redefine the
wsdl parameter of a webservice in 1.5 (you can in the upcoming 2.0).
However if youre just trying to change the server to hit as opposed to the
actual method definitions you can change the endpointURI for the service.
Check the docs for more details on that.

RE: [flexcoders] Highly classful architectures
I'm not totally sure what you mean, but I assume you are asking how well Flex supports object oriented programming. If that is your question, my answer would be that it supports it quite well. I'm a C++ Java programmer way before I'm a make-shiftRIA developer. Flex/Flash's ActionScript is very mature compared to what I expected it to be, and I've been able to employ most of the design patterns and approaches that I typically use in other, more complex languages. There are a few hang-ups with the fact that, for example, WebService objects need to be declared statically, outside of ActionScript (which was frustrating), but it's nothing that can't be dealt with and worked around. There's a quick opinion, for whatever it's worth!

RE: [flexcoders] startDrag stopDrag?
Well done! Thanks alot for the reply! You're
right, the event listeners were totally unnecessary. I guess onMouseUp and
onMouseDown are intrinsic event methods. That's good to
know!

Hi,
This may solve ur prob.
[This code is a block of class]
obj here is same as _rect in your class.
I guessyou need not use addEventListener...
This works out!!!
function createChildren():Void{obj =
attachMovie("cir_sym","cir_sym",1)}function
onMouseDown():Void{obj.startDrag()}function
onMouseUp():Void{stopDrag() }Buzz
back!!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: HTTPService timeout
I do realize that many people use this solution for
asynchronous data push from http servers, but it seems like a hack and an
unintended use of HTTP. However, while it may leave a bad taste in my
mouth, I never discredit something that works!!!
It looks like we may be taking it a step further and might
implement it withthe WebService object rather than the HTTPService object
: ) Assuming that there is no timeout implemented there either (in Flex),
then I assume it will work as well.

This is a very elegant way to handle server-push. It solves
a myriadof issues that "true" server-push has. It is more scalable,
hasbetter quality of service, etc.You just need a servlet programmer
who knows how to write thread safecode. Do note that each client will
then tie up an HTTP thread, soyou may need to allocate more in your

HTTPService timeoutHi,
I was wondering...does anyone know where/how to
set the timeout for HTTPService requests? I am shamefully
considering this as a solution to asynchronous data push from the
server...write a servlet that doesn't respond to requests until data of
interest comes to be.
Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] PopupManager.createPopUp - varying the className argument
I would guess you could use a string...like, instead of ...createPopUp( _root, SomeClass, true, initObj, false ); maybe you could do createPopUp( _root, "SomeClass", true, initObj, false ); But I would guess your best bet is to arrangeyour implementation in such a way that you can just go through a few if-statements and based on your user's input, execute the necessary call to createPopUp.

[flexcoders] startDrag stopDrag?
Does anyone know how to get startDrag (...) and stopDrag (...) to work
with UIObjects in Flex? I know that in Flash the usage is typically:
on(press) {
startDrag(this,true);
}
on(release) {
stopDrag();
}
But maybe it could work with our mouseDown and mouseUp events? I am
currently trying it with this code, but it's not working:
import mx.containers.Canvas;
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class Rect extends Canvas
{
public var radius:Number;
private var _rect:Object;
/*
Constructor.
*/
function Circle ()
{
super ();
addEventListener(mouseUp, Delegate.create(this,
mouseUp));
addEventListener(mouseDown, Delegate.create(this,
mouseDown));
}
/*
Instantiates all child objects.
*/
function createChildren():Void
{
trace (Begin Circle.createChildren().);
super.createChildren();
if (_rect == undefined)
{
_rect = createEmptyObject(square,
getNextHighestDepth());
_rect.fillRect(0, 0, radius, radius, 0x00,
100);
}
trace (End Circle.createChildren().);
}
function mouseDown (event):Void
{
trace (Begin Circle.mouseDown);
/*_isMouseDown = true;
_lastMouseX = mouseX;
_lastMouseY = mouseY;*/
startDrag (this, true);
trace (End Circle.mouseDown);

{
trace (Begin Circle.mouseUp);
//_isMouseDown = false;

RE: [flexcoders] Pass data from child component to parent in wizard app
I'm not totally sure of your approach, but as far as the specifc line
giving you trouble (mx.core.Application.application.nextButton.click =
mx.core.Application.application.goToScreenName(event.target.data);), did
you happen to trace or log the value of event.target.data?
I think if I were making a wizard, I would use a different mxml
component for each wizard screen. And I would store the input from each
wizard screen in the parent application.
Hope something here was useful to you, though I doubt it : )

Subject: [flexcoders] Pass data from child component to parent in wizard
app
Hello All,
I have a wizard type app called main.mxml with three children
(screen1, screen2 and screen3). I have a button in main.mxml
called nextButton. Inside screen1.mxml are a couple of radio
buttons that a user can select. How do I get the selected radio
button (in the child component) to broadcast to the nextButton (in
the parent app) where it should point to? For example, in the code
below, on screen1.mxml, I have a function:
//this function is fired when a user selects a radio
button
function buttonClicked( event : Object ) : Void {
//this works
//sets the status label in the parent app
mx.core.Application.application.setStatusLabel
(event.target.data);
//this does not work
//trying to set where nextButton (in the
parent app) will point to when the nextButton is clicked
mx.core.Application.application.nextButton.click =
mx.core.Application.application.goToScreenName(event.target.data);
}
Am I approaching this the wrong way? Any suggestions? I am
essentially trying to create a wizard like application where the
flow from screen to screen will be based on the user's input on each
screen, so the nextButton.click in the parent app will be
dynamically assigned.
Thank you for any help!

RE: [flexcoders] Question about drawing on the canvas
What I've found in my Flex development is that, as long
as your arrow is indeed a child of the canvas, it will move when you use the
canvas scroll bars. Aftera quick glance at your code, I didn't see
any problems, but I'm not sure of the parameter you've got in "pointerReleased(event.target)." It seems like
you are making the arrow a child of whatever object that "target" represents,
and I'm not convinced that target is actually your
canvas.

We'd like to move to something more asynchronous, but I thought I'd ask the forum for their recommendation. I know there is some kind of method in AS for making an HTTP request...we could have a servlet that would accept that request, hold onto it until some data comes in, and then finally respond to the request. Of course there are probably time-out issues that would have to be side-stepped. That's about the only sol'n I can see being possible right now.

RE: [flexcoders] Drawing a rectangle in Flex
Well, I finally figured out that createEmptyMovieClip() doesn't return
anything...so instead of:
var emptyClip = createEmptyMovieClip(rectangleInNode,
getNextHighestDepth());
emptyClip.beginFill(0xFF); //Currently harcoding a white fill...
...
I should have done:
createEmptyMovieClip(rectangleInNode, getNextHighestDepth());
rectangleInNode.beginFill(0xFF); //Currently harcoding a white
fill...
...
That solved my problem. It does draw a rectangle for me, so I'm not
sure why it doesn't fr you, Abdul. However, I appreciate the reply!!!

I don't know if you're using import statements, but those might help if
you're not:

Hi all !
I'm trying to get a component instance using the following:
var workspace:Workspace = Workspace.getInstance();
var name:String =
com.datasul.framework.custom.view.LoanForm;
var type:Function = ClassUtil.findClass(name);
wkt = Workspace.getInstance();
wkt.createChild(type,name);
Where:
- Workspace: is an object extending mx.containers.Canvas;
I suppose that retriving an Object using ClassUtil I would get an object
instance. But it
doesn't work in this fashion. So, I still tried to use
wkt.createChild(type.call(),name),
however no success.
Did anybody has an idea to create my object dynamically and add it to a
container ?

RE: [flexcoders] TabNavigator's createTab method
Because newTab object you refer to instantiates children that depend on the dsID, so it's too late when you follow up with a call like that. However, experimentation (assuming I did it right) proved that the property that holds the tab's title in a child of TabNavigator is "label." So I think I've got it working... Thanks!
