[flexcoders] app loading
Strangest behavior ever. We are looking to move from Weblogic 8.1 to Weblogic 10. We have an Apache 1.3 web server and we're using the Weblogic-Apache plug-in that routes requests to certain URLs to the Weblogic server. URL http://abc http://abc/ sends requests to Weblogic 8.1 which hosts our Flex app, http://abc10 http://abc10/ sends requests to THE SAME Flex app on Weblogic 10. Going to abc loads up the login page to our Flex app, no problem, regardless of browser. Going to apb10 results in a blank page on Internet Explorer, all other browsers load the app up perfectly. If you go to apb10 using Internet Explorer and get the blank page, if you hit the F5 key and refresh the page, the application loads up fine. WHAT THE HECK could be causing this type of behavior?! Anyone using the WLS10-Apache plug-in with various mappings pointing to your Flex app and have them working ok in Internet Explorer? This is the strangest thing and the best part is refreshing the browser brings the app up ok. We're pulling our hair out here. We see the HTTP requests being made to the various wrapper files and the resultant swf file...it's just not loading in the browser the first time you go there in IE. I've tried about 10 different computers, IE 6, IE 7, etc. to no avail...an old Netscape browser, Safari, Firefox 2 and 3 both bring the apb10 site up first time without an issue...Damn you Internet Explorer! Damn you! I'm going to have our systems guy try setting up Apache 2.0 with the latest WLS-Apache plug-in but seriously...this is mind-numbing.

[flexcoders] Flex 1.5 - RemoteObject request timeout
We still support a Flex 1.5 app I wrote 3 years ago that our clients use to run reports with. I'm in the midst of upgrading the entire app to Flex 2+, but of course the db people keep adding reports and one recently added report is for the admin-side only and is a crude report that can sometimes take over 5 minutes to return from the database with data. We have a setup as follows: Apache + Weblogic + firewall + Oracle database. Here's the weird thing...if only one person runs the report at any given time...it may take about 4.5 minutes, I see the call made to the database, I watch the log and see after 4+ minutes, the call to the stored procedure return to the application server and the original method return to the front-end and Flex correctly displays the report. If I open two browsers or have a coworker hit the report within a few seconds of my initial request and these two requests are made, a.) the call to the database takes a minute or so longer (I know the db people need to optimize this, but this is what I'm dealing with up front) and b.) I see it come back and the data returned to the front-end but the Flex app on either my or my coworker's machine or either browser (dependent on how I'm testing) does not get the returned response. The clock busy cursor just continues to spin. I've searched the archives and it seems a few people have posted similar problems but nobody has posted what their absolute resolution was. Anyone know anything about this? I literally see the data returned to the Flex application in the app server log but my Cairngorm command class result/fault handlers never capture anything and the busy cursor just keeps spinning. Anyone know anything about this or should I make use of my Flex support contract? Could this be a timeout between the apache and weblogic layer? I checked with the systems guys and they claim that the request timeout feature of apache isn't being used but I don't know if there is a default setting that apache uses...I guess I'll check that out...but any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 - RemoteObject request timeout
Well, just for anyone interested, I did a little more digging and there is an Apache-Weblogic connector that is used and there are settings for this connector: http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/plugins/plugin_params.html The one of interest for those with similar setups is 'WLIOTimeoutSecs'. The default is 5 minutes, any request that takes longer is considered timed out and I guess a 503 (?) status is sent to Flex but Flex isn't catching this and just acts like it's still waiting for a response. I changed this setting to 10 minutes and the process that was previously finishing past 5 minutes still takes the same amount of time but Flex app regains control now because the request hadn't timed out. robert l. brueckmann vice president merlin securities 712 fifth avenue new york, ny 10019 p: 212.822.4821 f: 212.822.4820 Merlin Securities - #1 Prime Broker North America and #1 Prime Broker Single Strategy Funds - Global Custodian 2007 #1 Prime Broker for Hedge Funds under $1 Billion - Alpha Survey 2007 From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Brueckmann Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2008 10:11 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 - RemoteObject request timeout We still support a Flex 1.5 app I wrote 3 years ago that our clients use to run reports with.

[flexcoders] Flex 1.5 - Initail progress bar stuck
We have a Flex 1.5 app our clients use. 99.% of the time when our sales people go on a demo for a potential client, the app loads just fine. That .0001% of the time, the initial progress bar gets to a certain percentage and just sticks. In one situation, having the sales person demoing use or install Firefox on the client's machine did the trick. We have a similar situation with a potential client and we have tried everything. We've cleared caches on both browsers, we've uninstalled and reinstalled the Flash plug-ins for both IE and Firefox...we've upgraded to IE 7...no matter what we do, the app loads up and stops at 8%. It loads for every other existing client and every other demo sales goes on...it loads on all of our local machines in-office...this one single client's office cannot load the app...and the best part is, it loaded for them last week when the sales first went to demo. They went in for round two this past week and the app will not pass 8% on any of their machines.

Would really appreciate if anyone can help me. Overview: I have an excel sheet which I need to replicate in Flex 1.5. There is a checkbox, a ComboBox and lots of cells with data. Issue: I tried using the mx:Model tag to populate the cells, and was successfull partially, till I got an error like this: A function in the code exceeds the 64K byte limit (actual size = '74071'). Since the problem occurs in the compiler-generated deferred instantiation code, please refactor/componentize portions of this document. This was when all hell broke loose. I have some colleagues who have worked on Flex and they told me that I can overcome this problem if I include another mxml file in the parent. I tried that, but now the issue is that my parent file refers to an actionScript file. The ComboBox is in the parent and I am refering to it in the child so the .as file gives me errors. I can go on forever, but someone suggested me to create my custom Grid, and I have no idea how to do that. Could anyone please tell me what I can do. Thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] Flex 1.5 - windows memory usage
Just wanted to take a poll on size of Flex app versus memory usage in windows when using Internet Explorer and Firefox. I have a rather large application and pretty much everything in the damn thing needs to be created dynamically based on user privileges and entitlementapplications they have access to, reports they have access to, accounts they have access to. Its frustrating but Flex does a great job, but we take a performance hit because of all this dynamic mumbo-jumbo and when I run the app in Internet Explorer, it seems to level out around ~110 megs of ram which seems awfully high but I am using a lot of components within componentscharts in accordion panes in viewstacks with datagrids behind them, etc. SoI just was curious what the typical flex app running in these browsers costs my fellow developers in memoryanyone?

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5
- column chart question
HiRobert. The problem is that
there's not enough room on the axis to show all the labels, so the axis is
dropping labels to make room. It drops labels from the bottom up, so the one on
the top may or may not appear depending on the number and size of your labels.
In this case, it's getting dropped.
One way I can think of to fix this would
be to set the canDropLabels property on the verticalAxisRenderer to false.
Unfortunately, you'll end up with more labels that will be scaled down to
fit...But you'll get your zero axis.
If all you care about is getting the zero
_line_ to appear (not the label), you could set the horizontalShowOrigin style
of the GridLines class to true. That should get you an origin line.
GridLines {
horizontalShowOrigin: true;
}

Its not at all efficient because I validate the form on every change of

need
it to highlight errors as they are being typed or being resolved
This seems to work for me.
If you are not experiencing the Validator/Binding problem - ignore all

this!

Have you tried debugging? set a breakpoint in your onResult of the
Command
class and where you explictly set the selectedUser in the model locator.
Once that line has passed, you should stop again then check your text
box to
see if it has the value. I find I get a lot further debugging then using
trace statements. Then repeat the process with the second hit when the
behavior works OK. This should hopefully identify your issue.

Hi Robert,
Although on the surface of things our problems were not the same, I'll
bet
it's the same thing somewhere under the hood of the Flex 1.5 compiler
that
is causing these strange binding problems to occur.
I keep reading of more and more people that are encountering this
binding/compilation bug.
Have you tried changing your flex-config.xml settings to not keep the
compiled mxml components:
!-- cache compiled custom components as swo files --
cache-swosfalse/cache-swos
And maybe try some of the other cache/compiling settings to see if this
resolves your problem. Compiling may be a little slower but it may be a
better workaround than you currently have.
With the growing number of people having these mysterious problems I
wonder if Adobe are going to release an update to resolve them.
Regards,
Simon

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 1.5 - Cairngorm .99 - Binding VO to
TextInput help please
Thanks for taking the time for the detailed reply Simon! I WISH it was
validator related. In one instance, I am using a validator but the
first
time I saw this behavior was in a simple MXML file that had 3 lists that
get
populated with 3 separate message types and directly next to the lists
is a
title label and a text area...when the user clicks on a message in any
of
the 3 lists, the title and text area should be updated with the selected
message's title and body content.
The title label and body text area have their text attributes bound to
{ModelLocator.selectedMessage.title} and
{ModelLocator.selectedMessage.body}
respectively and the change listener on all 3 of the lists is simple
ModelLocator.selectedMessage = event.target.selectedItem;
This NEVER works upon first compilation after a fresh server restart.
If I 'touch' the file that contains this message reader component and
refresh my browser...magically, the title and body start appearing when
I
select a message in the lists.
This behavior escapes me and is obviously not conducive to a production
release because I can't exactly go in and 'touch' all necessary files
for
this behavior to be fixed...this should work the first time.
I even have a test button on the message reader page that, upon first
time
server start and app compilation, when I click on a message and the
ModelLocator.selectedMessage object have been set but the title and body
do
not appear, I can click on this button and in an alert body display the
title and the body of the selectedMessage object...I am confirming the
selectedMessage object is getting set with the proper information, the
damn
TextInput components do not want to show it to me though...if I open up
FlexBuilder, open up my MessagerReader.mxml file, hit the spacebar,
backspace and then save it, refresh my browser...magically it all works
properly. It's that initial load that is completely baffling me.
I've tried debugging and because my components are being created as
children
on the fly it doesn't see the breakpoints I'm setting up. I'm at a
loss.
My work around, and this is the kicker, if I take the two fields that
currently, in the same component, reside next to the 3 lists, and wrap
them
up into their own MXML file component and add a COMPLETELY EMPTY
public function set message(m:Message){}
method call in this new wrapped up component and then in the original
message reader component, do this:
comp:MessageReaderFields width=100% height=100%
message={ModelLocator.selectedMessage} /
And now, when I select a message, first compilation, 14th compilation,
1st
server restart, 10th server restart, the message title and body field
binding to the ModelLocator.selectedMessage object in my new embedded
component work as they should. Makes sense, right? Nope. Not even a
little bit.
Whatever...looks like I have a work-around for the time being...

[flexcoders] overlapping series line chart - flex 1.5
Does anyone have an elegant solution on how to handle a line chart when, for example, we have 3 series in our line chartEquities, Assets, and a Total. 3 separate lines. In a specific case, Assets is 0 for all date points, so Equities and Total are exactly the same, hence their lines overlap each other identically. To a user, this might not be immediately intuitive if they only see the chart and not the underlying data. Is there a way to handle this? I mean would this just be a situation where wed have to pre-analyze the data of the chart, check if a specific series is identical to the total and if its true, in the mouse-over datatip renderer wed have to display something that indicates to the user that this series and the total are identical?

The bad news is you're using Flex 1.5. You could try and mimic this behavior by rewriting the datatip behaviors yourself. You have the mouseData events, which tell you when the mouse moves over and out of datapoints, and there's a method on the individual series called findDataPoint(x:Number,y:Number,sensitivity:Number); which you can call to find any datapoints at a given x/y coordinate. So you could, on mouseOverData events, iterate over the series, find out if there are multiple datapoints at that point, and show your own tooltip (using the popup manager) as appropriate. (Another idea...set a custom dataTipFunction, and do the check for multiple data points _there_, and format your datatip string appropriately). Ely.

[flexcoders] shared object security with flex 1.5
I created a remember me on this computer option when the user logs in, so when they come to the URL it automatically logs them into our site based on the username and password I'm encrypting and storing in a shared object on their machine. Works great. Out of curiosity, I located that actual shared object file and emailed it to my coworker and had him install it in the similar location on his machine and when he went to the website, it automatically logged him in as me. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? I mean, what additional security could I add to prevent (if the user does, for whatever conceivable reason) the copying of the .sol file from the one computer to another and it still work? I figured there would have been some footprint on the .sol file (I thought thats what all those additional characters were in the .sol file when I opened it in WordPad to look at it were) from my flash player, some unique id or something that lets the .sol file only work with my flash player on my machine and not all flash players...but I guess not...any thoughts? robert l. brueckmann vice president merlin securities 595 madison avenue new york,ny 10022 p: 212.822.4821 f: 212.822.4820 This message contains information fromMerlin Securities, LLC, or from one of its affiliates, that may be confidential and privileged.

[flexcoders] flex 1.5 - mx:List selectedIndex question
I have 3 tabs, each tab has a List component, these lists all share the same dataprovider from the parent application. If the user changes their selection in the list on the first tab and then goes to the 3rd tab, I have a function that sets the selected-index of the list component on the 3rd tab to the same item the user selected on the 1st tab...the problem is, the rowCount on the List component it 3 and if the user scrolls down to the 6th item in the List on the first tab and then goes to the 3rd tab, the 6th item is correctly selected, but the List component has not scrolled down to the 6th element, the user has to actually scroll to see that the 6th element is selected in the List component on the 3rd tab. Is there a way to ensure the List component visually scrolls to the selected-index? robert l. brueckmann vice president merlin securities 595 madison avenue new york, ny 10022 p: 212.822.4821 f: 212.822.4820 This message contains information from Merlin Securities, LLC, or from one of its affiliates, that may be confidential and privileged.

[flexcoders] cell renderer question
I have got two cell renderers on my datagridone is a simple checkbox, the other is a yes/no radio button group. If the user checks one of the checkboxes but then picks a different date which causes the data in the datagrid to refresh with a new datasetdespite it being new data in the datagrid, the checkbox in the row from the previous data set is still checked. Same if the user changes the choice from yes to no and the data is refreshedthe row in the datagrid that user selected no, remains no, despite the data provider for that datagrid being refreshed with new dataam I doing something incorrectly with my custom cell renderers? Do I need something to ensure theyll be redrawn in their default state instead of maintaining their last state? robert l. brueckmann senior web developer merlin securities 595 madison avenue new york,ny 10022 p: 212.822.4821 f: 212.822.4820 This message contains information fromMerlin Securities, LLC, or from one of its affiliates, that may be confidential and privileged.

[flexcoders] sessions and maintenance questions
I have a question for you guys about how youre currently designing your Flex applications. Since a Flex application is not session-based in the sense of an application server session, how are you guys handling, say, you want a user to have to log back in if they remain inactive after 5 hours in the case of using remote objects? Youre not making actual HTTP requests in that caseare you still storing variables in the application server session upon start of a clients session and checking the status of those variables every time a remote method call is made? Do you have some sort of filter that filters every remote method call to check every time? What about if the application server needs to be restarted in the middle of the daygranted the client doesnt have any knowledge of this, do you just allow them to keep going without having to log back in or do you force them to log back in and if this is the case, how does the client application become away of such a change and the need for the user to have to log back in? What are you using to flag that status change in the case of remote objects? Alsowe want to have weekly and possibly, daily database maintenance periodssay from 2 am to 3 am. If, for some reason, one of our clients is logged into the site at that ungodly hour, right before they start performing maintenance, and has successfully logged in and started using out site, then the user tries to execute some action during the maintenance period, we want to throw them a little message saying the site is currently undergoing maintenance, and to try again later, and then forward the user to a maintenance page, the same maintenance page any other client would see if they came to our URL DURING the actual maintenance going on. What would be the best way to handle this? Change a variable in web.xml and restart the application server? I use remote objects for everything I do within the application, if I changed some variable in the web.xml file, that means Id have to add code to every single method in all of my delegate classes to check the status of this variable every time a call is made before continuing on with the actual method call. Is there a more elegant way of doing this? Much like a servlet filter works?

[flexcoders] embedded fonts/linux/axis labels charting
Were trying to utilize the
horizontal axes rotation attribute for the axis labels, for which Eli explains
in his example that you need an embedded font to take advantage of the rotation
of the labels.
I used his code as an example:
@font-face {
font-family: chartLabelFont;
src: local(Verdana);
}
.normColumnChart {
font-family: chartLabelFont;
}
Works just fine when I deploy it to my
development server on my Windows box, but when I deploy it for testing on the
linux, we get a warning screen, saying it cant find the font, pointing
out the error resides in the src: local(Verdana); line in my CSS
file.
Is there something special I need to do
to get this to work in Linux Redhat?

[flexcoders] NumberFormatter question
Hey guys...I saw in the archive there was a long thread about decimals and the NumberFormatter but none of them really addressed what I'm encountering so I figured I'd throw this out there to see if anyone else has seen this behavior and if they're simply converting the number to a string as a workaround or if there is something valid I can do to handle this situation: I'm getting XML from the database that contains a whole slew of calculations. We're parsing the XML and populating a datagrid with this data and on the cells showing the numbers I have a custom cell renderer that simply uses a NumberFormatter to ensure negative numbers are represented with parentheses and all numbers are rounded to a precision of 3 decimal places as well as some additional logic to ensure negative numbers are colored red. Well, when we get small numbers and ActionScript internally represents them in exponential format, for example, 9.6345e-4...oddly, the number being displayed in the datagrid is (4.000) Another number being returned is 3.3123e-12 and what's being shown in the datagrid is (12.000). Why the heck is the number formatter ignoring the actual number and simply applying the formatter to the exponent value?! I would expect for both of these numbers, the resulting value would simply be .000, no? Any help is greatly appreciated.

RE: [flexcoders] loader component question
Thanks Abdul...that makes sense. Wasn't aware of that restriction. Makes sense given my example...so thanks for the help!

But I think it could be because of concurrent requests browser can make to server. I think IE has limit of two concurrent requests and firefox has the same limit. You can tweak the maxrequest in firefox and then check, if it works. Check out this link: http://www.feld.com/blog/archives/2005/06/speed_up_firefo.html I am not sure this would solve the problem, but we can narrow down the cases. If you are using the same RemoteObject for all four requests then IMO they would be processed one by one... -abdul -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Brueckmann Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2005 7:21 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] loader component question Scenario: I kick off 5 asynchronous actions...all of which make a db call, get XML, pass it to our report generation engine, which returns a report object to my Flex app, when that report object comes back with the id that matches the id of the kicked off process, I display that report in a HorizontalList component as being ready to view. When the user clicks on the icon of the report in the Horizontal list (meanwhile the other 4 processes are still off in various stages of retrieving and generating the report which ends up being in SWF format), the screen expands upwards and displays the finished report in a Loader component. Problem is, the report does not load into the Loader component until the other 4 reports are done and are displayed in the HorizontalList component. If I only kick off 2 processes and the first report comes back before the second and I click on that report, it shows up in the loader, as soon as I go past more than one report still processing when trying to display the finished report in the Loader, it kind of just hangs there until the rest of the processes are complete. Sometimes, in the case of the 5 processes being kicked off, and the one report completes and shows up in the horizontal list and I click on it to display it, I get a blank screen for about 30 seconds and then my defined brokenImage image appears as if the report doesn't really exist, and then when the rest of the processes finish, the loader refreshes itself and displays the report correctly, replacing the brokenImage image by itself. Very strange. Why is the Loader component dependent upon the other processes going on on the server? I figured since all I'm doing is setting the source of the Loader component to the path to the available SWF report file, it would just go out and load it in, regardless of the other processes going on on the server...not so much. Thoughts? Should I just avoid asynchronous altogether in this case? I just thought it would be great to allow the user to kick off a handful of reports and start viewing them as they became available, but it's not working. robert l. brueckmann senior web developer merlin securities 595 madison avenue new york, ny 10022 p: 212.822.4821 f: 212.822.4820 This message contains information from Merlin Securities, LLC, or from one of its affiliates, that may be confidential and privileged.

[flexcoders] databinding question
Quick question...why are these different:
merlin:ReportingDatesPanel width=100%
height=100% portfolio={selectedPortfolio} /
Versus:
mainContent.createChild(ReportingDatesPanel, , {width:
100%, height: 100%, portfolio: selectedPortfolio});
When the selectedPortfolio object changes in the main app with the MXML
in first example above, the custom component recognizes the change in the
selectedPortfolio object and performs the correct action.
If I have the main application dynamically create the custom component
with the code in the 2nd example above, if the selectedPortfolio
object changes, the dynamically created custom component does not see that
change and none of the actions that I want to take place, actually take
place. Im guessing this is a databinding issueam I supposed
to set the portfolio attribute differently to catch changes in this object when
dynamically creating the custom component?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] databinding question
Hi,
Databinding is a special beast in flex, and is set up in mxml-as compiling
The compiler needs the metadata to figure out what events it has to
listen to for each property (or perhaps just use getters setters). It
then sets up a complex mechanism of watchers and stuff to make binding
happen.
This is the reason why it is only supported in mxml for now.
If you want the same functionality on runtime you have some choices:
- use the old flash binding api ( not possible I assume )
- create your own
- wait for as2lib's future release. I'll be donating a quite powerful
databinding framework soon (well, not that soon if work keeps me this
busy )
it is flex compatible, supports chains and different types of watchers.
Best,
Aldo
PD: Sorry for the delay Simon, I've been busy as hell at work.

You might try adding ChangeEvent to the component once it is created. Just a

Subject: [flexcoders] databinding question
Quick question...why are these different:
merlin:ReportingDatesPanel width=100% height=100%
portfolio={selectedPortfolio} /
Versus:
mainContent.createChild(ReportingDatesPanel, , {width: 100%, height:
100%, portfolio: selectedPortfolio});
When the selectedPortfolio object changes in the main app with the MXML in
first example above, the custom component recognizes the change in the
selectedPortfolio object and performs the correct action.
If I have the main application dynamically create the custom component with
the code in the 2nd example above, if the selectedPortfolio object changes,
the dynamically created custom component does not see that change and none
of the actions that I want to take place, actually take place. I'm guessing
this is a databinding issue...am I supposed to set the portfolio attribute
differently to catch changes in this object when dynamically creating the
custom component?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

Stacy,
I was having the same exact problem when
my application loaded for the first time because I wanted the cursor to default
and the caret be blinking in the username field of the login section so the
user, when going to my site, didnt have to explicitly click their mouse in
the username field to login initially. No matter what I tried, it didnt
work when I was going to http://localhost:7001/myapp/Index.mxml
BUTI found a fix that has the caret
blinking in my text field EVERY time without fail, which I dont know if
itll help with your situation or not, but what I did was I ended up
embedding my application in a JSP pageso to access my application, the
user now goes to http://localhost:7001/myapp/index.jsp
and in my jsp page I have _javascript_ that EXPLICITLY sets focus to the now-embedded
swf fileby doing thisthe browsers focus is initially set
to the flash movie (i.e.: my flex app), which in turn successfully makes use of
the Selection.setFocus(username) call successfully that I have in the
creationComplete listener of the username TextInput component.

just the text contents of the textinput field is not selected as it should be.

RE: [flexcoders] ToolTips on Tree Nodes?
NevermindI created a label maker
function and set my tree components dataTipFunction to this function and
the val object sent to the label maker function is the entire tree node, so I
just return val.getProperty(label) (because the dataprovider of
my tree is XML) and my data tips work perfectly now.

return
val.getProperty(label);
}

RE: [flexcoders] ToolTips on Tree Nodes?
Stacy,
I spoke too soonits not
working for me. I must have thought my following example was my
recompiled code with the getProperty callbut I mustnt have
refreshed to revuild my app to use the modified label maker function.
Very sad. Its very oddif I make the return value of my
labelMaker function below just val, it works and for every node, I get
something that looks like this:
But when I change the return of my
function to be val.getProperty(label) which SHOULD work, it no
longer does and if I add a trace statement to my label maker function, I see
the following output in my flash log file when the screen loads:
val.getProperty(label): DLTA - Long/Short
Hedge
val.getProperty(label): DLTA0 - Delta
Long/Short Hedge 1
val.getProperty(label): DLTA1 - Delta
Long/Short Hedge 2
val.getProperty(label): undefined
val.getProperty(label): undefined
And when I mouse over any of the nodes,
nothing pops up now, even though my trace file shows clearly it did, at some
point, recognize the call to val.getProperty for the label attribute.
Weird.
Anyone have any thoughts about this?

RE: [flexcoders] display nested xml in a datagrid
I use the XMLObjectOutput class (which you can find in the C:\Program
Files\Macromedia\Flex\extras\XMLObjectOutput directory (I just put it in
my user_classes directory in my own package) and I convert the XML from
the server into an object...by using this utility you can then use
dot-synatx to reference elements in your XML...
So, you can then do something like:
var xmlObjOut:XMLObjectOutput = new XMLObjectOutput(false);
var xml2Obj:Object = xmlObjOut.XMLToObject(yourXMLFromServer);
var items:Array = xml2Obj.Items;
// you now have an array of all items, so loop through all your Items
elements to get the child Item elements and add their status to the
datagrid
for (var i = 0; i items.length; i++) {
var row:Object = new Object();
row[id] = items[i].attributes.Id;
row[Title] = items[i].attributes.Title;
row[Status] = items[i].Status.attributes.Name;
gridStory.addItem(row);
}
And if you have your dataGrid described below with all the columns you
have set up below (minus the last one), this should work for you. Maybe
call the code above in a method upon creationComplete of datagrid or
most likely, on result of the service that returns the XML you're trying
to use to populate your datagrid.
Hope that helps.

Subject: [flexcoders] display nested xml in a datagrid
Hi. Can someone help with this question? It is driving me crazy!
(the entire example is at the bottom of this post)
There is more to this problem but I have tried to simplify it to the
basic question below:
Say I have the following xml:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
Items
Item Id=1 Title=Title1
Status Id=1 Name=Active /
/Item
Item Id=2 Title=Title2
Status Id=2 Name=Inactive /
/Item
/Items
How can I display the current status name of each item in a data
grid?
I have tried:
mx:DataGrid id=gridStory dataProvider={mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray
( GetItems.result.Items.Item)} width=100% height=100%
mx:columns
mx:Array
mx:DataGridColumn columnName=Id /
mx:DataGridColumn columnName=Title /
mx:DataGridColumn columnName=Status / shows object
Object - I want the item's Status.Name to appear
mx:DataGridColumn columnName=Status.Name / THIS
DOES NOT WORK
/mx:Array
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
How can I show the status? If I just use
mx:DataGridColumn columnName=Status /
the grid displays (as expected) object Object. Also, for this
particular xml file it is not an option to just collapse the Status
subtags into the Item tag and have something like:
Item Id=2 Title=Title2 StatusId=2 StatusName=Inactive /
*** For reasons outside scope of question I cannot do this ***
I know the above works correctly.
Thanks for any help with this. Below is the entire example:
test.mxml
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml;
mx:Model id=modItems source=simple.xml
/mx:Model
mx:DataGrid id=gridStory dataProvider={modItems.Item}
width=100% height=100%
mx:columns
mx:Array
mx:DataGridColumn columnName=Id /
mx:DataGridColumn columnName=Title /
mx:DataGridColumn columnName=Status /
mx:DataGridColumn columnName=Status.Name /
/mx:Array
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
/mx:Application
simple.xml
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
Items
Item Id=1 Title=Title1
Status Id=1 Name=Active /
/Item
Item Id=2 Title=Title2
Status Id=2 Name=Inactive /
/Item
/Items
Thanks for any help.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] LinkBar
question
Yeah, definitely doesnt work the
way I have it set upI have all the levels of the viewstack statically
listed in my MXML file but based on a users security they only have
access to maybe 3 of the levels of the view stack, hence the link bar links are
generated dynamically based on a database callso I have a doLink method
being called on the click listener of the link bar component that handles which
link is clicked and which level of the view stack to showsince
theyre not coupled like in your example Ashish, the disabled link color
doesnt seem to work at all.
Is there a work around for this?

Not sure what you mean. Using the
disabledCOlor attribute does nothing. I have a linkbar at the bottom of
my page that navigates a viewstack which takes up the upper portion of the
page. I want to be able to indicate to the user when they click on the
link in the link bar which location theyve clicked on by either changing
the color of the link they clicked on or leaving the background color that
appears when you mouse over the link to indicate thats the last link
they clicked on. How can I do this?

I have an alert listener thats
instantiated upon login to my application like so:
public var alertListener:Object

function createListener() {
alertListener.click = function(event) {
getURL(index.html);
}
}
Then I have a method that is
called when the application session has ended like so:
public function
sessionEnded():Void {
mx.controls.Alert.show(Your session has ended and you must log back into
the site., Session Alert,
mx.controls.Alert.OK, this, alertListener, , mx.controls.Alert.OK);
}
When the user clicks on a link
and the session has ended, it pops up the alert window successfully, telling
them they must log in againI had hoped that after reading this message
and clicking ok, the application would refresh and theyd be presented
with the login screen again, only thing is, getURL buried in the
createListener() method isnt workingIve put trace statements
in thereits getting thereit just doesnt want to get
me my URL. Does this have something to do with scoping here? Is
there a way to do this properly, scope-wise if that is in fact the case so my
call to getURL actually does work?

[flexcoders] Comboboxes and TitleWindows
I noticed something strange happening and I wanted to know if anyone
had a solution or if I'm doing something completely wrong/weird...
I have an ActionScript method that uses the popup manager to create a
custom TitleWindow component like so:
var reportWindow:TitleWindow =
TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(
this, ReportWindow, false,
{title: reportName, width: w,
height: h, reportPath: url, reportType: reportType, showExport: true}));
Now my custom ReportWindow component contains a combobox in the upper
right hand corner of the window that is populated by the creationComplete
listener of the window.
Now if a user clicks the button three times that triggers the method above
to create 3 separate instances of my custom ReportWindow popupthe first
window opens and the combobox is populated, the second window opens, the
combobox is populated but it now has duplicated every single element in the
combobox AS has the combobox in the 1st window that was openedthen
the 3rd window opens and now all three comboboxes in each of the
windows has triplicated every single element in the combobox. Why is
this? Ive gotten around this by statically listing the elements of
the dataprovider for the combobox like this:
mx:ComboBox
width=200 id=formatTypes change=exportReport(event);
mx:dataProvider
mx:Array
mx:Object
label=Export this report to... /
mx:Object
label=pdf /
mx:Object
label=xml /
mx:Object
label=csv /
mx:Object
label=pipe /
mx:Object
label=html /
mx:Object
label=excel /
mx:Object
label=word /
/mx:Array
/mx:dataProvider
/mx:ComboBox
And now each window opens with the correctly populated comboboxbefore,
the method being called by the windows creationComplete listener was
calling this method (which was causing the duplication of values in all
comboboxes across the board):
public function
setExportFormats() {
formats.push({label:
html});
formats.push({label:
xml});
formats.push({label:
csv});
formats.push({label:
pipe});
formats.push({label:
pdf});
formats.push({label:
word});
formats.push({label:
excel});
formatTypes.dataProvider
= formats;
}
Why the heck would a method in my third window used to populate the
combobox in THAT window ALSO be populating the comboboxes in all open
windows? Am I missing something here?

You can achieve the same by extending FormItem to reserve some space

[flexcoders] flex app loading hangs
We were trying to demo our site to a potential client who happens to be running Windows 2000 with the latest version of IE and Flash available for that platform. He went to our URL and the initial loading screen comes up but just stops at 2% and hangs. He went to another computer in his office and the application loaded without a problem. Any thoughts about what could possibly happening on this machine where the app is hanging? We've refreshed, flushed his browser cache, restarted the machine, etc...it just hangs at 2% on that machine... Anomaly? Something we're overlooking? This is the first time we've experienced this in the dozens of demos we've given...so could this just be some weird Windows inexplicable behavior? Robert L.

RE: [flexcoders] flex app loading hangs
I thought Flex only loaded in the latest version of Flash player? If that was the case wouldn't he not even have the loader come up displaying that it's hanging at 2% if he didn't have the correct version? What's the quickest way to have him check the two computers to see what version of flash player he's running? Robert L.

RE: [flexcoders] setFocus() on a TextInput
Try this: mx:TextInput id=username creationComplete=Selection.setFocus(username); / You need to use the Selection class to do what you want. Only thing is, if you're expecting the caret to be blinking in the field when loaded in the browser, you're not guaranteed that behavior every time...the field definitely has focus every time, the caret isn't always blinking in it though...it happens intermittently...so the way I got around this is I use the JSP taglib tag and embed my entire flex app in a JSP page and in the body element of the HTML in my JSP, I force forcus on the Flex movie which has an ID, so I use Javascript to force the focus of the Flex app, which in turn guarantees a blinking caret in my focuses field without fail every time.

[flexcoders] variable naming convention oddity
I just encountered something very bizarre. I have a java VO called DateSpans...it's a class that simply contains a whole set of variations of date spans available for a portfolio the user selects and I use this class to dynamically set the calendar component in my flex app. The DateSpans class is populated by a procedure in the database and then I send the DateSpans VO back to my Flex delegate class and use it accordingly in my app. An example of some of the fields of this VO is ... previousMTDFromDate mTDFromDate mTDToDate previousQTDFromDate qTDFromDate qTDToDate ... I have a corresponding ActionScript VO that has all the same fields. Well, in my Flex app, I would retrieve the previousMTDFromDate and it would work...then when I went to retrieve the mTDFromDate or the mTDToDate, I would get an undefined returned to me. I have 25 other fields that I use and they were all turning back the date to me correctly...except for the ones that were named starting with yTD, mTD, qTD. It wasn't until I actually went through the fields in both VOs and renamed those fields to: ... mtdFromDate mtdToDate qtdFromDate qtdToDate ytdFromDate ytdToDate ... That I started getting the returned item I was successfully getting from the other fields...is there some issue with a naming convention with fields that start with only one lowercase letter? I SWEAR all I did was rename the fields to the examples above from qTDFromDate to qtdFromDate and so on and that fixed my problem. I thought I was going crazy...I was watching Java set the variables and I was calling them to doublecheck right before I sent the DateSpans object back to my ActionScript delegate class and all the info was there as I expected it to be for every field in the VO...and as soon as I entered the delegate I was printing out these fields...everything was properly set except for the ones that started with a single lowercase letter followed by a series of capital letters...isn't that bizarre? I named them initially that way just for function naming sake so the functions would be setMTDFromDate, getMTDToDate, etc just for ease of readability...but now they're all setMtdFromDate, getMtdToDate, which isn't the end of the world but I think this is kind of a funny behavior...am I missing something?

Thanks David but Im using the Tile container not the TileListthe tileList has a nice columnCount attributeI just want to use the Tile container that displays items in equal sized cells and it seems to only allow for 3 items per row no matter what I do and the columnCount attribute, when set for the Tile container, is ignored and still only allows for 3Ive just succumbed to its unchangeable 3 for now but this is kind of strange.

[flexcoders] Tabular data
What would be the best way to take XML from the database and output it to the screen in a way that would look like an exploded datagrid, static, in tabular format? Is this possible? Im just playing with some ideas of utilizing Flex for displaying dynamically generated data in a report-like formatright now I really came up with quite a hack that utilizes a 3rd party reporting engine (which is terrible and we paid a lot of money for) to generate a PDF report from XML using these horrendous templates you have to create using their ridiculously crappy report designer, and then I spawn a process from Weblogic that takes this newly-created PDF and converts it to a SWF using yet another 3rd party utility (luckily, open-source) and then I get back the path to the newly converted SWF report and display that in a Loader component within my Flex application. It works and generates some pretty decent reports but its a nightmare to maintain (mainly due to the 3rd party report engine)so Id really like to harness as much power from Flex as possible. Ideally, I just like to be able to send the XML DIRECTLY to my Flex app and just simply build a table with this XML datamaybe throw some alternating row colors in there. I dont want it to be in a datagrid because printing is a little quirky in the datagrid...is there a way to do this? Ive noticed in some of the other things Ive done in my application that the Repeater component kind of gets slow real quickly if you add much complexity to itso Im guessing this probably isnt a valid option right now given the youth of Flex.

RE: [flexcoders] datagrid cell scrollbars
That did the trick. I never eventhought to look into my custom renderer and shut off the scroll policy of the cell renderer. As soon as I added hScrollPolicy to off for both of my custom cell renderes, printing no longer produces the horizontal scroll bars! Yourock. Thanks. Robert L.

RE: [flexcoders] Theory and Practice: Mixing AS2.0 in MXML
Can I ask how you manage an MXML without any ActionScript at all? How in a file that has components with clickor change listeners would you not have any supporting ActionScript codeI mean just about every single one of my MXML files has initialize or creationComplete listeners in the parent container tag with dozens of other components that are dependent on dataproviders changing and user interactions like clicking or dragging and dropping and I cant begin to imagine how I could extract every bit of ActionScript from my MXML files into individual ActionScript classesmaybe Im not grasping the Cairgorm design architecture fullyI thought I had a pretty good grasp on it but to hear that youre writing MXML files with no ActionScript in them whatsoever kind of baffles mecan you give me an example? Thanks for bearing with me! ;) Robert L. Brueckmann Web Developer Merlin Securities,LLC
datagrid cell scrollbars
I have a datagrid that has 6 columns and it about 20 rows high. I send it as one page to the printer using the PrintJob class, it prints the datagrid so everything fits within the boundaries of the piece of paper but the problem is, some of the text in the cells is wider than the printer-friendly adjusted widths of the columns that I guessthe internal PrintJob class is handling or whatever mechanism to send an objectto a PrintJob class is doing. It wouldnt be so bad if the text got cut off, but instead of getting cut off, the entire cell is replaced with a horizontal scrollbar that completely hides the contents of the cell and thats what gets printeda random scatter of cells that are simply horizontal scrollbars. Is there any way to prevent the horizontal scrolling? I cant find anything in the DataGridColumn or DataGridRow classesideas? Robert L. Brueckmann Web Developer Merlin Securities,LLC
RE: [flexcoders] datagrid does not display http data
Instead of creating an alert with the
result attribute of the HTTPService request, make a call to a method that would
set the dataprovider to the resulting XML.
The problem is, when the datagrid is
created, the XML from the HTTPService isnt ready yet, so you need to
reset the dataprovider of the datagrid once the XML is actually returned. So
try something like:
mx:HTTPService id=catalogContents
contentType=application/xml
method=GET protocol=http
resultFormat=xml
url=""
href="http://localhost:8080/protocore/getCatalogContents">http://localhost:8080/protocore/getCatalogContents
fault='alert(event.fault.faultstring,,mx.controls.Alert.OK)'
result=setData(event.result);
resultFormat=object
mx:Script
public function setDate(result:Object) {
catalogGrid.dataProvider =
result.element;
}
/mx:Script
mx:DataGrid id=catalogGrid
height=100% width=100%
dataProvider={catalogContents.result.element}
Not sure if that code will actually work but thats
the general gist of it.

loader
Background: Ive built a reporting application. The user logs in, selects criteria and I send the users criteria in XML format to a stored procedure, which generates an XML result set, which we send to a template-based 3rd-party reporting engine which produces a PDF reportwhen the report has been generated, I make a call to another 3rd-party utilitythe open-source SWFTools utility called PDF2SWF, which converts that newly generated PDF report into a single SWF filewith each page of the original PDF file being represented in a frame of the overall SWF moviethen I load the converted SWF report into my loader component for the users viewing pleasure, where I created a page slider component that allows the user to flip pages of the report. (Honestly, the next version of Flex, I HOPE, really needs to focus on reporting functionality because this is one hell of a convoluted, EXPENSIVE way to get a simple multi-paged, printable report out of this system!). Question: This is all working fine and great, but the main complaint is the user cant use the mouse scroll or the vertical scroll bar to the right to scroll down the report to the next page, and then to the next page and so onlike they can in the PDF version of the report. In the Flash-version, they can only get to the next page of the SWF report by using my nifty page slider which simply increments (or decrements) to the next frame of the report SWF movie. Is there anyway to load that multi-framed SWF movie into the loader component and within the loader component, dynamically extract out each frame of the movie and display it in a vertical series of HBox components? Can you do that with a multiframed movie? I wouldnt think so but I figured its worth a shot in asking. Ive tried using FlashPaper and embedding that into the loader component, but trying to get that to stretch and print correctly is a nightmare in and of itselfnot to mention the application server is running on Linux so while in theory and development, FlashPaper works beautifully on my Windows desktop, but FlashPaper doesnt come for Linux unfortunately. Alternatively, is there anything smartI can do with the mouse scroller that would scroll through each consecutive page of the report insteadlike once Ive gotten to the bottom of the visible reports page, increment the report movie frame number to the next frame automatically? How do you capture the mouse scroller as well as the vertical scrollbar itself, if the user was dragging this scrollbar with the mouse pointer, itd need to mimic this behavior alsothoughts? Robert L.

datagrid height
Hey guysI am trying something and getting a strange behavior. I get an array of objects from the database that becomes the data provider for my datagrid. I know the length of my data provider thanks to the myDataGrid.dataProvider.length method and I figure I could multiply that number by some arbitrary number of pixels to ensure that however many items are in my data provider, thats how many rows are visible in my datagrid on the screenso the datagrid is never scrollable. Im using a method that sets the dataprovider of the datagrid, myDataGrid.dataProvider = data; and then Im calling myDataGrid.setSize(Stage.width 35, myDataGrid.dataProvider.length * 25); The Stage.width 35 compensatesfor some other things on the screen to look proportionate and the myDataGrid.dataProvider.length * 25 is just guesstimating that each row in the datagrid component is about25 pixels high. Well the first time I tried this, 25 was too large of a number so I adjusted it to 22, which seemed to work but still left me with a little extra bit of a final row visible. Well that was livable. Then I get aresult set back that only had 2 items in it, instead of the 5 I had been testing this whole thing with and now only one row was visble and you have to scroll down to see the second row, so I increased the 22 to 30 and that fixed it for that but now if I call the original result set with the 5 items, I can see a row anda half extra blank rows. Is there a better way to dynamically show the number of rows based on the number of items in the data provider? I wish there was a size attribute like there is with the HTML select list component where if its a list you can say I want x-number of rows visible. I just dont ever want the user to have to scroll within the datagridis there an easier way to do this? Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] Interesting new product for Flex
Im a little confused about whatit is theyre offering. Are they developing an application for youin Flex? Nowhere on their site do they actually use the words Macromedia Flex when talking about the applications theyre buildingit appears oncein one of their QuickTime slides as an image plucked from the Macromedia website and thats itthey reference ActionScript and MXML but never Flex, but its clearly what theyre using in their RIA examples they have on their site, yet all their examples in their slides show a Swing-like application. Very confusing. What is the trial application you download from them? How they charge so cheaply for a Flex-built application?

RE: [flexcoders] scroll Tip Function
Clint,
I see that the scrollTipFunction that you

refer to a column by making a call like this using the example from the API:
function
scrollTipFunction(direction:String, position:Number) : String
{
if (direction ==
vertical) {
//
returns the name of the column youre scrolling past?
return
myDataGrid.columns[position].columnName;
} else return ;
}
I dont know if
that works but columns is a valid attribute of the datagrid component so it
makes sense youd be able to index it, because I know Im doing
this for something else Im doinglet me know if that works

form validation
Im having a heck of a time understanding how form validation works. I have a formit contains text fields, drop down lists, and radio buttons. Its a basic user information formfirst name, last name, address 1, address 2, etc. I also have 3 fields: phone, fax, and mobile, but I only have the phone fieldas being required (visually, anyways, utilizing the required attribute set to true of the mx:FormItem component, but set to false for fax and mobile). Ialso have phone, fax and mobile being monitored by the mx:PhoneNumberValidator components. But the problem is the form wont submit if the user hasnt entered a fax or mobile, even though theyre not required but becauseI have validators on them. Is there any way to ONLY validate them if the user has entered a value in their fields and not enforce them as being required even though I dont have them flagged as being required? Also, how do I validate whether a userhas selected an option from a drop-down or a radio button group? I am successfully setting their values to the data model I have set up but do I use a StringValidator on those values to ensure something has been checked or is there a better way to do that? I looked at the examples in Stephen and Alistairs book but some things arent valid in Flex 1.5 anymore and other things just confuse the heck out of me or dont apply to the type of form Im trying to build and validate. Any help on any of these things would be most amazingly appreciated. Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] Sample code for printing from a DataGrid:doesnot work?
Tracy,
Its funny you send this email
because I posted something about printing last nightI am using the same
exact code youre using from the example on MMs site and I would
say it works intermittently, at best, when I try to print my datagridat
first, if you read my post from last night, I thought it was only when I tried
to print it in landscape, because the first few times I tested it, it was
actually working in portrait but when I switched the landscape, it stopped
printinglike you said, it printed the correct number of pages but only
the visible content was printedthen I tried to print again in portrait
layout and it stopped working in that format as wellvery strange
behavior. The whole printing functionality in Flex is very weak and is sort of
the bane of my existence at the moment being as the application I developedis
a reporting application. Right now, as terrible as it sounds, I tell the users
to launch the PDF version of the report theyre viewing and use that to
print anything they wantthing is not everything in the application is
available in PDF formatmaybe Flex 2.0 will come around to thisI
really hope so anyways. Ideally, if they could provide a mx:FlashPaper
component for Flexnow THAT would be the epitome of awesomeness.
Im going to continue to investigate
this, as I hope you and Art will to and maybe we can come up with something
collaborativelybecause there doesnt seem to be a quick fix to
this conundrum.
Best,
Rob

Hi Tracy,
All I did was change the datagrid name. (If I can
remember correctly)
but here is my code just incase (Hoping that
someone will help w/ the
headder
and footer adding):
== Start Code ==
function doPrint() {
var pj : PrintJob = new PrintJob();
// position of currently visible rows stored
var prev_vPosition:Number = historyDg.vPosition;
var prev_width:Number = historyDg.width;
var prev_height:Number = historyDg.height;
if(pj.start() != true)
return;
historyDg.setSize(pj.pageWidth,pj.pageHeight);
// number of rows per view, ignoring fractions (floor)
var rowsPerPage:Number = Math.floor((historyDg.height -
historyDg.rowHeight)/ historyDg.rowHeight);
// number of pages to be printed, if there are any
fractions, have
one page for that (ceil)
var pages:Number = Math.ceil(historyDg.dataProvider.length
/
rowsPerPage);
for (var i=0;ipages;i++) {
// move the visible row position.
historyDg.vPosition = i*rowsPerPage;
// size box relative to the grid
var b=
{xMin:0,xMax:historyDg.width,yMin:0,yMax:historyDg.height}
pj.addPage(historyDg,b);
}
pj.send();
delete pj;
// position of currently visible rows restored
historyDg.setSize(prev_width,prev_height);
historyDg.vPosition = prev_vPosition;
}
== END Code ==
thanks,

Have you run the example as is? Maybe

Hi Tracy,
I'm using that same function w/o problems to
print the info in the
datagrid BUT
I whish I could figure out how to add a
headder and footer to the
printjob. I'm
just too unfamiliar with the print function.
I've actually never used
it before
this project.

The Sample code for printing from a
DataGrid posted on the MM site
under the url below does not work:
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?event=viewid=
KC.tn_19241extid=tn_19241
It is close, it is actually puttingthe
data into the page, but still
only the visible area prints.If I
generate 100 lines, the output is
the correct three pages and each page
starts on the correct line, but
only the 8 visible lines print on each
page.
Has anyone else tried this and succeeded?

RE: [flexcoders] setFocus issue
ClintI had this same problem a few
weeks back and posted a thread for this and none of the _javascript_ or Flex
scripting suggestions I received worked for this every time the page loaded.
THE ONLY way I was able to get this to work perfectly every time my app loads
is to embed the Flex app in a JSPindex.jsp in my case, and the source of
index.jsp looks like this:
%@ page contentType=text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1 language=java errorPage=
%
%@ taglib uri=FlexTagLib
prefix=mm %
!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD

}

I force focus of the actual flash movie
and now, every time my application loads to the login screen the caret is
blinking in the username text field component without fail.
Hope that helps,

show listener
I have a component...a empty canvas that has a show listener that simply calls trace to write test to the log file, ok? I then have my initial application load up with a tab navigator with a single tab that pulls in a very similar empty component but with a show listener that makes a call to a function that prints static test to the log file instead. On this page that contains the tab navigator, I have a creationComplete listener that triggers a method that dynamically adds the aforementioned component, the first empty canvas with the trace print function, to the tab navigator using the createChild method of the tab navigator. I load up the app, the second tab is dynamically created without a hitch...only problem is, the show listener never triggers the function in this dynamically created tab...nor does it ever trigger the function, whether I go back to the first tab and then come back to the dynamically added tab...but every time I head back to the first tab, the statically coded-in tab, that component's show listener triggers the function that writes static test to the log file. Why would the show listener on a dynamically added component never trigger when dynamically added to a navigator like the tab navigator? Robert L.

createChild
I have an app that a user logs in, and
based on their login info I retrieve a number of applicationsthe
user has security grant access to. This array of applications
sent back from the database is simply an Array of stringsI use this
array of strings to create tabs for my tab navigator. The only application
that is created at load time is the first tab being displayedthe others
are only created at runtime when the user clicks on that applications
corresponding tab. The problem Im having is when I create the
application component when the user clicks on the tab and I call code like
this:
if (e.target.selectedChild.label == Administration
firstTimeAdmin) {
e.target.selectedChild.createChild(Administration,
admin, {width: 100%, height: 100%});
firstTimeAdmin
= false;
}
The firstTimeAdmin variable is just a flag
I set after the first time the app is created so its not created every
time the user clicks back on the Administration tabanyways, my width
attribute Im setting for the Administration component seems to be
ignoredits not stretching the components to 100%...is there a
different way I can ensure the width is being set to 100%? It actually
seems to be setting to 50% of my screen width actually.
If I have the Administration component
created at loadtime and not at the instance the user first clicks on the tab,
everything stretches fineIm doing it the way above because the
user technically could have access to all applications and some of them are
pretty complex so they could sit there for 10 seconds looking at a blank screen
in between the login and the load of the first tab because it takes that long
for all of the applications to load upso I thought this a more
streamlined approach so the user doesnt have to sit there and wait for
applications to instantiate that they possibly will never use during that
sessionbut now Im having these problems with the width
Thanks for any help!

RE: [flexcoders] createChild
Thanks for thatthat makes moving forward with more apps in the future easier to handle. Much appreciated Robert L. Brueckmann Web Developer Merlin Securities,LLC
RE: [flexcoders] createChild
Manish, I implemented the creationPolicy=auto and my tab navigator is still creating all of the children at load time. Like I said, I have an empty Tab navigator in the MXML code itselfwhen the user logs in, I trigger a GetUserApplications event which calls the command class, triggers the delegate class method which returns to the Application component view an array of strings listing all the apps the user has access to which I immediately loop through and create the associated tabs on the navigator and the corresponding components for each tabIm guessing the creation policy setting doesnt apply to children dynamically attached to the navigator component? If I had the components actually listed in the MXML file, this works but Im doing this on the fly because one user may only have access to app #1 and #2 whereas another may have all-accessso I need to do this dynamically and it works and my code I had written before your post about deferred instatiation built into the tab navigator still does the trick in the meantime.

RE: [flexcoders] mx:Link component
Guysthe problem with my input is its
coming in from the RSS feed like this: JPMorgans Vice
President blah blah blah as the title of the article and when I set that
title string to the value of the mx:Link labels value, it the title ends
up looking like JPMorganapos;s Vice President blah blah blah
Why is this happening? Im getting the apostrophe unencoded from
the feed but the label attribute of the mx:Link component is encoding it.
I havent tried reversing this processmaybe Ill go try that
to first encode the titles coming from the feed and then passing the encoded
string to the label attribute. But from what you guys are saying, that
wont work either. I dont understand how the label aatribute
of the mx:Link component is encoding the stringIm not asking it
toshouldnt it just display exactly what Im sending it?Bizarre.

Why, this seems to work fine for me:
mx:Link id=link /
mx:Button label=Set Link
Label click=setLinkLabel() /
mx:Script
function setLinkLabel()
{
link.label =
Manishapos;s link;
}
/mx:Script
I think the problem is somewhere else.
Christophe's blog reader example uses
resultFormat=object (default),
which doesn't seem to have this problem.

mx:Link component
Im reading in a moreover RSS newsfeed from an HTTPService request, I set the resultFormat attribute of the HTTPService component to XML, I parse the XML accordingly and set the resulting array of objects to the dataprovider of a repeater that creates an mx:Link for the article title and a mx:Text for the descriptive blurb that comes along with each news articlethe XML sends the titles with apostrophes and other characters and when I set the value of the title tag from the RSS XML feed to the label attribute of the mx:Link componentthe Link component is transforming the characters, like all apostrophes are converted to apos;, etchow do I prevent this from happening?

tree traversal?
Is there any easy, recursive way to traverse a tree component? My trees data provider is an XML object sent from the db. I have 3 tree components actuallythe 2nd tree is built based on the selection of the 1st tree and the 3rd tree is built based on the selections made in the 1st and 2nd trees. I want to implement a history manager for this 3-tree navigation and Im having a hell of a time trying to reset a previously selected nodeeach node has a unique ID, so Im saving this id to the state object for my custom history management and then I want to traverse the tree to find the last selected id when the user hits the back buttonis there a simple way to just traverse through the tree, find the node with the id that matches the last selected id and then stop traversal? Theres no set structure to these treesso I cant depend on the trees always being the same sizeor to have the same number of branches, sub-branches, sub-sub-branches, etcwhich is why I thought recursion would be my best bet but from the API and Flex docs, I cant find a generic way to traverse the treeall of their examples show the code explicitly finding a node at specific location and modifying the node I hate recursion, it has and will always confuse me to no end so any help with this would be most amazingly appreciated.
