Re: [flexcoders] Copying an Object
Take a look at the copy() method in ObjectUtil: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/mx/utils/ObjectUtil.html#copy()
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Copying an Object
As an additional note, when using ObjectUtil.copy() with your own
user-defined classes (i.e., not Object, ObjectProxy,...), you may have
to use [RemoteClass] metadata or the registerClassAlias() method.
The problem is that ...when an object is deserialized from AMF, it
does not automatically get created as a class instance. The object
might have all of the properties of a class instance, but it will not
be a true class instance unless the AMF packet includes type
information about the object. The type information gets added to AMF
in one of two ways:
- Using the {RemoteClass] metadata tag.
- Using the registerClassAlias() method.
...
I found this out the hard way.

Re: [flexcoders] Binding WebService Data to ArrayCollection
First off, that's not a WSDL. That looks more like a response message. In your mx:WebService code, are you calling a result method? For example: ... result=handleGetCalendarTypes(event)/ If your WSDL defines CalendarType as a xs:element ... maxOccurs=unbounded/, you should be able to assign that to an ArrayCollection directly, e.g.: var results:ArrayCollection = event.result.CalendarType; But it's hard to tell with those small snippets of code. Can you share your WSDL?

[flexcoders] Re: FB3B3 webservice response received but not bound to event.result
The problem was caused when I switched from the use of SimpleWsdl11Definition to DynamicWsdl11Definition in my Spring Web Service application. My WSDL had one response layout that was shared by multiple request layouts. The DynamicWsdl11Definition was building the request layouts properly (from the XSD) but wasn't generating the response layout. Flex received the response but since the WSDL didn't contain the response layout, it wasn't able to marshall the response into objects. Lesson learned.

[flexcoders] How to send Arrays in WebService request???
Hi. I have a SOAP webservice request that handles a variable number of array elements. For example, the body of the request would look something like: ... request body zeroOrManyUpdates keyABC/key update ... /update update ... /update /zeroOrManyUpdates /body /request ... where there can be any number of update elements in the zeroOrManyUpdates element, each of which has data modified on various zoom-in forms. Since the number of update elements varies, I can't predefine the request in an MXML mx:request block. So I'm assuming that I have to create and send the request via ActionScript3. Right? Unfortunately, I can't find any examples of this in the doc or on FlexCoders, so I'm posting my question here. I've mimicked the transform of arrays being returned in a webservice query response. So, I've formatted an ObjectProxy that looks like the structure of the XML request: var saveUpdatesRequest:ObjectProxy = new ObjectProxy(); saveUpdatesRequest.key = ABC; saveUpdatesRequest.zeroOrManyUpdates:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(); // Create 'update' object here, then saveUpdatesRequest.zeroOrManyUpdates.addItem(update); // Create another 'update' object here, then saveUpdatesRequest.zeroOrManyUpdates.addItem(update); // etc. then send the request via AS3: ws.SaveUpdateService(saveUpdatesRequest); But examination of the webservice received on the server shows that although the 'key' var is received correctly, the array elements are not received. How do I submit a variable number of array elements to a webservice using Flex and/or ActionScript?
Re: [flexcoders] Warning 1096: Illogical comparison with null. Variables of type Boolean cannot be null.
What adobe does is declare the property as type Object and then uses it as a Boolean. Thus is can be null, but you loose the strict typing of that object. Other than that, a boolean is either true or false, the default being false. There's no concept of an uninitialized boolean. - Dan Freiman Thanks, that helps.
[flexcoders] Warning 1096: Illogical comparison with null. Variables of type Boolean cannot be null.
They say that we should deal with warnings, but I'm not seeing how to get around this one... I have an AS3 object and several Boolean properties in it that may or may not be initialized. So I check to see if they are 'null' before using them. This is a typical Java check that I'm carrying over. Is there some other way to check for proper initialization of a Boolean property? One that won't kick off the warning sirens?

Re: [flexcoders] Back-toback WebService calls seem to get lost?
You need to take a look through the Handling asynchronous calls to

when I call them as:
ws.GetMusicians();
ws.GetInstruments();

(The web server is a .NET service that returns ArrayCollections).
My mxml file calls my GAWebService tier:
var ws = new GAWebService();
The GAWebService tier handles the transaction with the web service:
public function GetInstruments( ):void {
ws.addEventListener( ResultEvent.RESULT, instrumentsHandler );
var callToken:AsyncToken = ws.GetInstruments();
callToken.marker = GetInstrumentsCall;
}
private function instrumentsHandler( event:ResultEvent ):void {

var callToken:AsynchToken = event.token;
var resultCollection:ArrayCollection = (event.result AS
ArrayCollection);
switch( callToken.toString() ) {
case GetInstrumentsCall:
GADataModel.getInstance().Instruments = resultCollection;
break;
etc.
}
}
Again, if I force a sequence wherein the handler of one call makes the
next webservice call in the series, I get all of the results back, but
if I leave it to the asynch-ness of the webservice, I only get a
couple of the calls completed.
Does the Flex WebService queue up the calls or do I have to write some
sort of call queue class in order to manage the asynchronous traffic?

My two cents. I don't think that it's a question of Flex vs. Java. Flex and Java work well together. I've built applications using the HTTP and Web Services request facilities of Flex with Java and Java Web Services and they work great. More importantly, *why* are they considering changing from ColdFusion to Java/JSP? They have to weigh the costs of the conversion against the benefits of the switch. Good reasons for a switch might be that, for example, it is becoming difficult or expensive to find ColdFusion developers...? (I don't know if that is true or not. A better example would have been my tenure at a company where it was becoming harder and harder to find Tcl developers, hence the switch to Java.

I've tried looking for books: but I honestly haven't found one that isn't either a complete beginners book, or isn't written for Flex 1/1.5. I've tried looking for online communities around Flex, but haven't found anything really at all. Any advice on where to look next? Or should I just start tackling projects and learn as I go? -Kyle
Re: [flexcoders] Stupid question - get ready to throw fruit.
Have you tried defining the DataGrid dataProvider in the parent document and then refer to it as: myDataGrid.dataProvider=parentDocument.groovyArrayInParentDoc; That way the visual component is in the titleWindow and its dataProvider is in the parent (and therefore survives after the titleWindow closes).

[flexcoders] Re: How to address relative tile in TileList in dragDrop event processing?
That does the trick!
private function myDragDrop(e:DragEvent):void {
var dropIndex:int = tilelist1.calculateDropIndex(e);
Alert.show(dropIndex: + dropIndex);
}
Thanks!
[flexcoders] How to address relative tile in TileList in dragDrop event processing?
Say you have a TileList:
mx:TileList id=tilelist1 dataProvider={anyAC}
columnCount=9 rowCount=9 dragDrop=myDragDrop(event);/
Now say you drop an object onto the cell at row 3, column 5, you'd
like to be able to easily address the data in position 15 in the
ArrayCollection anyAC when processing the 'drop' event in
myDragDrop().
I've looked. I don't see any property in the DragEvent that gives you
the relative position in a TileList. What am I missing?
[flexcoders] DataGridColumn in Repeater gets Unable to generate initialization code...
When I attempt to create a small number of DataGrid controls with a

Here is the minimal amount of MXML that generates the compile error:

There is a claim of a workaround at Nischal's blog: Referencing

there is no source code to show how to do this.
Any ideas on the workaround for this problem?
[flexcoders] Re: DataGridColumn in Repeater gets Unable to generate initialization code...
In his blog, Nischal says:quote: Recently when I was working on Flex application and found that there is an issue with the columns of DataGrid, which is defined inside the repeater. Flex throws following error when you try to assign id or data binding values to DataGridColumn Unable to generate initialization code within Repeater, due to id or data binding on a component that is not a visual child. Which means if you want to assign dynamic value to say HeaderText of the column then you cannot use dynamically or id to assign value. Work around to this issue is to use columns array of datagrid to define the value. Click here http://www.nischal.com/flex/ReferencingDataGridInsideRepeater.html to see the example and source code to use the column of the DataGrid. I'm not sure what ...use columns array of datagrid to define the value... means.

[flexcoders] Re: WSDLError Element not resolvable with WebService using creationComplete
In searching through the older threads on Adobe's Flex2 General Discussion forum, it looks like this might be a bug from the August 2006 timeframe. WSDLError:Element not resolvable = LoadEvent doesn't imply service ready http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders@yahoogroups.com/msg38226.html A snippet from that post states: RE: [flexcoders] Re: WSDLError:Element not resolvable = LoadEvent doesn't imply service ready Seth Hodgson Tue, 15 Aug 2006 14:20:39 -0700 Hi Kaleb, Thanks for providing your WSDL/XSD/service code. We've identified and fixed the issue internally. The problem was that WSDL parsing dispatches the load event after the WSDL is loaded and parsed, but without properly waiting for schema imports to be fetched over the network and parsed. The simplest workaround is to avoid schema imports J If that isn't an option, catch the `Element not resolvable' error and retry your call using a Timer on a short delay. Thanks again for your help closing out this bug, Seth The complete thread shows the timer workaround that Kaleb employed.

[flexcoders] Re: WSDLError Element not resolvable with WebService using creationComplete
There is a thread that kind of answers this problem over in the Adobe Flex2 General Discussion forum: WebService bad element / not resolvable http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=585\ threadid=1257326 The work-around to this problem is from scottpez: Hi, I finally figured out the problem and found a solution. The problem was that the creationComplete event was being fired before the webservice component was able to load the wsdl file. The solution that seems to work is to create the mx:WebService component just as I had before except add a function that is called on its load event. So something like this: mx:WebService id=generator wsdl=... load=sendOperation(); And then in the creationComplete event of the application, I have generator.loadWSDL();. Finally, in the function sendOperation() I send the operation something like this generator.generateOperation.send();. Therefore the webservice operation is not sent until the wsdl has loaded. This seems to work for me. Thanks, Scott This sure seems like a bug to me. Several other posters note that they are experiencing the same problem and one points out that it appeared AFTER upgrading to 2.0.1 Flex from 2.0. Before that, 'creationComplete' worked properly. Which raises the question... How does one examine and/or post Flex2 bugs to Adobe's bug queue? I've poked around Adobe's support pages and anything resembling a bug queue does not seem to be at all visible to developers. To me, this is a shocking lack of openness on the part of Adobe that seriously impedes developers.
[flexcoders] WSDLError Element not resolvable with WebService using creationComplete
I've encountered something that looks like a timing issue within Flex2.
When I try to access a WebService operation in the 'creationComplete'
param of mx:Application:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute
creationComplete=wsWidgetQueries.GetWidgetsByType.send()
mx:WebService id=wsWidgetQueries
endpointURI=http://localhost:/widgets-ws-1.0-SNAPSHOT/Widgets-WS;
wsdl=http://localhost:8080/widgets-ws-1.0-SNAPSHOT/widgets.wsdl;
useProxy=false showBusyCursor=true
mx:operation name=GetWidgetsByType
mx:request
GetWidgetsByTypeRequest
typeId{cbxType.value}/typeId
/GetWidgetsByTypeRequest
/mx:request
/mx:operation
...
I get the following error:

But, when I comment out the 'creationComplete' parameter and run the
wsWidgetQueries.GetWidgetsByType.send() as an action off a 'click' event
on a button, the WebService works just fine.
That indicates to me that 'creationComplete' is executing BEFORE the
WSDL has been properly parsed. If so, 'creationComplete' isn't really
complete when that .send() gets invoked!
Have others encountered this problem?
And, if so, is it a known bug or is there a standard workaround for it?
TIA.

But when I take out the 'creationComplete' parameter and, instead,
have the .send() action occur with a 'click' event on a button, the
request works fine.
The sample application from Chapter 18 of the Getting Started with
Flex2 works fine on my workstations (Firefox IE7), but my own app
does not. The sample is obviously using ColdFusion, whereas I am
using Tomcat 5.5.x to host the web services.
It seems that the WSDL is not completely parsed when the
'creationComplete' .send() is processed.
Has anyone encountered this problem too? If so, is it a known bug?
TIA.
PS: Btw, I posted this before using the beta Rich-Text Editor. It did
not seem to post successfully... ?!?!
