It is also worth mentioning that if any of you have spent any time being a Windows desktop system administrator, you will appreciate the management features that only IE has in conjunction with group policy. Changing/enforcing proxy settings, certificate authorities, cache policies, homepages, look and feel settings and more can be done by just flicking a few settings in Group Policy. To do the same with Firefox, you'll have to modify a bunch of files on installation, and on every change, push out a new prefs.js file. Sounds easy enough, but try doing that when you have different settings that apply depending on the site the user is at, the groups they're a part of, etc. Unfortunately, none of the alternative browsers seem to pay much attention to the enterprise, so IE is pretty safe until there is a reasonable alternative.

Guy On 16/01/2012, at 6:31 AM, Ron G wrote: Valdhor: You are right about that. That is precisely why we went with Flex originally (it insulated us from X-Browser issues). But, since we can't count on that lasting, and even Adobe is telling developers to plan on moving to HTML5, it seems like they're pushing us back into x-browser hell. I didn't want to go there, which is why we chose ZKoss. Yes, there is still going to be HTML/JS/CSS ultimately used, but it's how much. Even Flex SWFs are wrapped in HTML and JS when deployed. So, it's not that I'm against using any amount of HTML/JS; it's how little can I get away with to avoid these issues. Even with HTML5 libraries, such as the much touted jQuery, is, to a large degree, an insulator against x-browser issues. If you read the actual jQuery code, it deals with those issues for you. Now, ZK has a ZK Client JS library, which includes jQuery, that is designed to be a communicator mechanism between the client and the bulk of app logic that resides on the server. So, your normal editing and data manipulation that you might write in JS in a full blown HTML5 app is actually stored as Java on the server, and executed as needed per the EDA (event driven architecture). This type of JS is typically what breaks the page on different browsers and versions thereof. By limiting the amount of client-side JS, as does a jQuery type library, yes, you have some exposure to potential x-browser issues, but not as much as a HTML5 app that does everything on the client. And, when there are issues, they can be resolved in the ZK Client library as a patch/fix. So, now it seems to me that developers have several choices. Stick with Flex and you won't break the browser; you just won't be able to have your app viewed by millions on iOS products. If that seems like a better solution that minimal exposure to x-browser issues by using ZK or some other technology, well, that's certainly a choice each company has to make.

I want to expand on this so that I can also get data from facebook and perhaps Bebo and MySpace by including feeds from them also to display things like users pictures etc. Obviously twitter is easy as it basically involves no pictures and is merely a list of posts for each user. I'm assuming you've had a look at TweetDeck already. The thing is I've noticed in the case of facebook you need to go into Facebook and click allow access etc to allow your own api key to access your details on your profile. What I want is so that users can enter their facebook username and password in my app and their facebook details such as photos will be displayed within my app. The thing is there will be multiple users of this application. Is this possible and can anyone recommend any good tutorials on getting such things to work? This is an incredibly bad idea. There is a reason why Facebook went to all that trouble to implement an API key system. (Unless you're talking about just hosting the facebook website inside your app, which is a different thing.) Here are some - * you will be responsible for keeping the user's password secure. * Facebook can change their layout and non-API URLs at any time, breaking your app. * the user should be in control, not your app. They should be able to say what your app should do, instead of your app demanding credentials to their entire account and being able to do everything. * users should be encouraged not to just hand over usernames/passwords to any website/app out there - this is how phishing occurs.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 3: AIR Local Database

Here's one for mysql (http://code.google.com/p/assql/). You don't get the one-click install though. Also, given AIR 2.0 has support for native executables, you could if push comes to shove, use a native executable to be the conduit between AIR and whatever database you want.

It seems like wherever this code is -
[Bindable]

customMeals.addItem((event.target as mealitem).mealDetails);
event.target is actually the panel containing the 'create meal item'

Re: [flexcoders] ArrayCollection Does Not Show Items In Order When Passed to .NET WebService
I just wrote up a simple C# web service that accepts an ArrayList:
[WebMethod]
public bool ArrayListTest(System.Collections.ArrayList a)
{ ... }
Then in Flex I wrote this,
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
private function sendWebServiceCall():void
{
trace(appComplete);
ws.ArrayListTest(new ArrayCollection([
{name:bob, id:808 }, {
name:fred, id: }]));
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:WebService wsdl=http://localhost:63868/Service1.asmx?WSDL; id=ws
mx:operation name=ArrayListTest result=trace(event.result)
fault=trace(event.fault.faultString)/
/mx:WebService
When sendWebServiceCall is triggered, it calls the C# web service and
passes the ArrayCollection to it.
In the web service, the ArrayCollection is received as an array list
of XmlNodes. Each XmlNode contains a node for each field, even if it
is an empty string.
tns:id xmlns:tns=http://tempuri.org/;808/tns:id
tns:name xmlns:tns=http://tempuri.org/;bob/tns:name
tns:id xmlns:tns=http://tempuri.org/;/tns:id
tns:name xmlns:tns=http://tempuri.org/;fred/tns:name
Is this anything like what you're getting? The edge case you described
in another email about an empty string causing problems doesn't seem
to cause problems.
Also see inline.
2009/7/3 Angelo Anolin angelo_ano...@yahoo.com:
I think by doing things like this, it may not be the best way.
You mentioned you'd map the XML to typed objects in .NET. How can I do
this?
As you're using a dataset, this isn't really an option. A dataset as
opposed to a collection of typed objects are two ways of handling data
from data sources; it is arguable which way is better.
The problem in your case, is that the XML generated as a result of
passing an ArrayCollection to a web service method cannot be passed
into the dataset's readXml method. (Even if it could by inferring a
schema, it would be different to your database's schema.)
The only way I know of to do seamless transfer of data without having
to parse XML is to use WebORB. Otherwise you will have to parse the
XML produced on both sides to re-create the dataset/object.
Instead of using arraycollection as dataprovider in my datagrid, can I use
another which would be much easier when I pass back to the .NET function?
I wonder if it is possible to bind your datagrid directly to the e4x
XML? That way you can pass the entire XML doc back to .NET via the web
service, and hence you can re-create the dataset using
dataset.readXML.

Hi Sam,
Care to show some examples? I am parsing the arrayCollection into an
ArrayList on .NET. This is particularly not too appealing since I just
discovered that for example, if one of the objects in the arraycollection
would have an empty string value, the number of items inside the array is
not reflected properly in .NET.
Like:
private var arrR:ArrayCollectio n = new ArrayCollection( [{ID:001 ,
Value:Select },
{ID:002,
Value:Choose },
{ID:003,
Value:},]) ;
When I pass this var arrR into a .NET webservice and delegate it to an
ArrayList, the items in the array list will have one of the arrays only
containing 1 item (instead of 2).
Adding to my problem is the fact that the arrays inside the array list
when
read in .NET should have the object ID and Value be in order but they are
not. This is further true when there are many items in the array
collection. Sometimes, the first item becomes the last one in the array
list, and sometimes the order is not well.
In any case, I am finding a solution on how I would be able to pass an
ArrayCollection to .NET and be able to parse it properly.
Thanks.

I am expecting that in my Web Service, when I parse this arraycollection

be the value I placed in the ID.
Since the arraylist does not have the field tag (represented by ID_TAG,

part since I can only reference the value via the index on the array.
Now, how would I be able to include the tags inside array collection such

Re: [flexcoders] The Blueprint Eclipse plug-in is live on Adobe Labs
I'm surprised at the lack of reaction for this on this list. I'm impressed - looks to be quite useful; just need to add it into my workflow. The examples are good when dealing with completely unfamiliar classes, but I often forget what a certain property/method in a certain class does/returns, and the code hinting/completion in FB3 isn't very helpful most of the time. It would be neat if there could be a quick shortcut button to switch between examples and a condensed version of the flex class reference (allow me to select if multiple classes are relevant), similar to how Netbeans and to a lesser extent Eclipse Java works. That would save me a lot of time going back and forth between FB3 and my browser as I do now. 2009/6/23 jrunrandy ranie...@adobe.com: If you get a minute, please check out Blueprint, which we released on Adobe Labs a couple of weeks ago. Blueprint is an innovative code-centric search application, initially delivered as an Eclipse plug-in. It is a custom search tool that searches only for code (for now, it searches just for MXML and ActionScript). So, for example, if you search for DataGrid, it returns a set of code examples that use the Flex DataGrid control. But what's really cool is that you can easily highlight, copy, and paste chunks of code right into your application, all without leaving Flex/Flash Builder.

Re: [flexcoders] ArrayCollection/Min Max Problem
Maybe your trace statement is in the wrong place? Seeing your code would help in solving the problem. Another way to solve these problems is to sort the data (sub)set, then just pull the first and last elements. Depending on what you want to do with the data after, this may be faster. 2009/7/1 Sherif Abdou sherif...@yahoo.com: I have an array collection and I am trying to find the Min/Max of the values in groups. For Example my array collection has 100 values. I want to find the Min Value/Max Value between 1 to 26, 2 to 27, 3 to 28 , etc I tried to create 2 for loops in each other but for some reason during debugging/tracing it outputs wrong numbers, but if i do breakpoint then step in. I get the correct values. So the question is is there a better way than what i am doing. I am just trying to create a Stochastic formula.
Re: [flexcoders] (SOT) Opportunity for FB ? (Hey! Adobe !)
I highly doubt this will happen, mainly because the flagship user of bugzilla is Mozilla, a web browser company with deep investments in HTML5, CSS and JS. Their community probably wouldn't be very receptive either. From a personal perspective, I don't think it is a good idea either - Flash UIs generally aren't good at conveying large amounts of information. Those that are basically replicate HTML UIs, which defeats the purpose. What I'd like to see is Flash being used for visualisations of bug histories, bugs in components, bug response time statistics etc. Of course, Mozilla will likely lean to SVG/JS for that, but nevertheless, that is an area where using Flash would be appropriate. 2009/6/19 Brad Bueche brad.bue...@gmail.com: I've been reading up on Bugzilla and it is frequently mentioned that its UI is not the most intuitive or easy to use in the world. Well if one needs an improved UI experience, is not FB the answer!? Well really, the SDK in this case. Although, I guess, anything you do in FB, outside of the data visualization, can be updated in the SDK, right? Is this a good opportunity for Adobe to greatly improve an open source tool with their open source solution? To me, it seems like there is significant opportunity to show off many of the features of 4.x. in a highly targeted market. Anyway, just a thought, maybe I'm way off base. (Then again, I'm always late to the party with the flexcoders group, so maybe somebody is already working on it). However, if you do decide to do it, Adobe, see if you can add some built in integration with Subversion (in keeping with being a major contributor to the open source community). brad
Re: [flexcoders] Subversive Client install on full FB3
You need to get the URL to the automatic configuration script, then put that into a web browser. Depending on your browser, you will either have to download it then open it in notepad, or it will just display it. The script is basically javascript, telling the browser which proxy address *and port* to use for what URLs. Generally, the last rule is the one for 'everything else' (i.e. not internal or special exceptions), so grab the proxy address and port from there and put it into Eclipse. It will be either an IP or a host address, and a port, usually 8080. You may also need to add the exceptions in later if your SVN repo is on an internal server inaccessible from the outside world. 2009/6/15 Brad Bueche brad.bue...@gmail.com: Sorry to ask this here but I have searched everywhere over a period of months and I cant find an answer. If I install flex builder 3 (full install) at home, and bring it up, I can connect to the cfeclipse updater and subversive updater in a hearbeat. However, I need to really use subversive and fb at work not at home. And I can not figure out how to get the fb3 eclipse to connect to ANY update site. I have to keep installing everything manually. Well the manual install for subversive does not seem to work because they wont -- for license reasons -- put the SVN connectors in the main build and I cant get the manual install of those to work. I'm getting to the point where I really, really, need version control and this is really beginning to slow me down. Every time I try to do a software update eclipse either gives me the this: Error Parsing Stream [Premature end of file] We do use a proxy at work. I have put the the proxy server config into the Eclipse-General-Network preferences but this does not seem to work. I notice that Eclipse has a setting for port but we dont specifically use port in our proxy setting. Additionally, in IE the proxy says Use AUTOMATIC Configuration script whereas Eclipse's set up just says Manual Proxy Configuration. What am I missing here? brad
Re: [flexcoders] Charting dataFunction issues
Can you try removing some of those series to isolate the problem?
Also, can we see the console output from the trace statements in

Maybe the values are out of bounds? Some sample data would be useful
too if that's possible.
2009/6/12 Jake Churchill j...@cfwebtools.com:
Charting people, please help!
I’m using examples right out of Adobe’s guides and several other guides I’ve
found online on how to use a series dataFunction. The issue is that when I
try to use the dataFunction, I get nothing. The Series doesn’t display at
all. When I go back to using yField, everything is fine. Below is the MXML
for the chart and series. The dataprovider is an ArrayCollection of VO’s
with the following properties:
public var ceiling:Number;
public var costOfProd:Number;
public var cropProfileID:Number;
public var floor:Number;
public var historyDt:Date;
public var insGuarantee:Number;
public var revenue:Number;
Here is the dataFunction that I’m using (straight out of an example from
http://flexdiary.blogspot.com/2008/08/charting-example.html) which I changed
to work with my data:
public function seriesDataFunction( series:Series,
item:UserRevenueHistoryVO, fieldName:String ):Object
{
var returnValue:Object = null;
switch( fieldName )
{
case xValue:
returnValue =
item.historyDt;
break;
case yValue:
returnValue = 25;
break;
case minValue:
returnValue = item.ceiling;
break;
}
trace(fieldName + + returnValue);
return returnValue;
}
Finally, here’s the chart code. The Line Series work fine because I’m using
yField. If I switch the AreaSeries to yField instead of dataFunction, they
work as well but I need to do some work with the ceiling data in this case.

But, if you wanted to generate a wysiwyg type of report, that mirrors what the user sees in the flex app, you're going to run into a lot of problems. AlivePDF is good for simple client-side pdf report generation. However, IMHO, its not quite mature enough of a product yet, to be a robust solution for enterprise reporting. So, that leaves you with using a server-side solution, like Jasper reports of FOP (java), or bite the bullet and spring for LCDS or WebOrb. It's funny, most clients scream for high-fidelity PDF reporting. But, when they see the price tag for the last two solutions, they often choose to go without. There is a way to display a PDF in Air. For Flex, you might be able to hack some kind of iFrame solution, but I haven't heard of anyone that has pulled that off yet. -TH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Angelo Anolin angelo_ano...@... wrote: Some updates on this.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex and .NET
2009/6/8 Angelo Anolin angelo_ano...@yahoo.com: I feel that this is probably not the BEST way of doing this. I tried initially to pass an XML delimmited string, but .NET seems to read XML differently(?) from Flex. I'd say XML would be a good way of doing it. What kind of errors are you getting, and how are you making the web service call? The other option is to use AMF, a native messaging format for Flash/Flex.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex and .NET
Considering the time required for serialization/deserialization, using something like webORB would improve parsing time, as it uses a binary format which can be parsed more easily than a text format. But unless you're using large datasets/doing lots of web service calls, the advantages are probably negligible. Are you transmitting everything in the array collection back to the web service, or just the IDs of the selected rows? Transferring everything including the row data would remove the need for another database hit, but for large datasets, that could be quite a bit of traffic. I'd say it would be better just to transmit the IDs back to the webservice, and let the webservice hit the database for the row data (some caching on the server-side would help too). 2009/6/8 Angelo Anolin angelo_ano...@yahoo.com: Hi Sam, Thanks for your reply. As of now, I actually prefer to utilize what I know on .NET and what I am learning on Flex. Adding another utility (Web Orb) in my learning process may complicate things a bit. I might consult this later if I feel that the needs for is getting tremendous. Anyway, I am actually able to generate the report from what I am currently doing (no error encountered), where the ArrayCollection I am parsing into a delimited string, passing the string to the webservice call, and letting the webservice de-serialize the string to populate a Crystal report document which I subsequentlt display in another browser window which I call from the Flex application. I mentioned that I did not feel it is the BEST way because I am literally storing all datagrid (report) information in a string variable. Assuming for example that the data displayed in the datagrid is quite huge, then creating the delimited string would take some time and additional processing time could also be consumbed by the back end web service to parse the string and populate the report. As of now, this is what the application does. 1. Flex App calls a webservice to retrieve data. 2. WebService responds by sending back a dataset which is returned as a string (via Dataset.GetXML method of .NET). 3. Flex App gets the service response, converts the string into an XML. 4. Flex App converts the XML data into an ArrayCollection which is bound to the datagrid. * Please note that I used array collection here for the search/filter functionality of the datagrid. 5. When generating print out of the data displayed in the datagrid, Flex would then serialize the ArrayCollection into a delimited string and send it to the web service. 6. Web Service would then de-serialize (or parse) the string, populate a .NET dataset which is the datasource for the Crystal report. 7. Crystal report is bound and PDF report is generated. 8. Flex displays via external javascript call the PDF report generated. Is there a better way for the ArrayCollection to be sent to the webservice, the webservice in turn would just convert it to dataset and the dataset is immediately bound to the Crystal report? Thanks.

2009/5/1 Kelly dek...@gmail.com: I am not sure why it's so hard. Most other Eclipse plugins work fine on Linux 32 and 64 Bit. It's probably not the editor bits that are hard, but the debugging bits which have to reach outside of the Java world to work. Ditto with the profiler bits I'd say, and any other components that need to communicate with AIR directly. As for the design view, they might be reaching out and using a platform-specific component to render the design, so that it would match the output better than rewriting the entire rendering engine in Java? Who knows (unless you decompile FB possibly), but Java and Eclipse aren't inherently cross-platform all the time given what they need to do.

If it is always giving you -1, it is because the if statement inside

Re: [flexcoders] getItemIndex ..returning -1
Flex is looking for a string in the array with the value 'specific
course name'. In your arraycollection though, you have objects (not
strings), which within them hold multiple strings (TITLE, DESC, REQ).
The only way to match again the title field of every object in the
array is to use a for loop, e.g.
var index:int = -1;
for (var i:int = 0; index courses.length; index++)
{
if (courses.getItemAt(index).TITLE == specific course name)
{
index = i;
break;
}
}
if (index 0)
trace(no course found by that name);
else
trace(course found);

It will not serve you well to continue thinking in terms of pages when developing in Flex. Page is a term from html development (like Yahoo) and Flex application architecture is very different. Typically you begin with a navigation component. Popular ones are TabNavigator, Tree, and ViewStack. ViewStack is particularly useful with a menu. You have your click handler set the ViewStack.selectedI ndex according to some value in the menu data item. Setting a ViewStack index causes the view (kinda like a page) at that index to be displayed.

Re: [flexcoders] Web-based application to access local files
The only web-deployed, no-install tools you can use that has access to the local file system is Java and ActiveX as you have discovered. Both will throw security warnings, because no web app has unfettered access to your computer by default, and none should (who knows what kind of havoc they could wreck if they did). (You should be able to allow your ActiveX to access the local file system though because that's how online anti-virus scans work. It will require user interaction, or maybe the deployment of a Group Policy change. Not a path I'd go down though given the stigma associated with ActiveX in the browser.) Can I ask what their opposition is to a desktop application? Is it deployment? Because if it is, you could just use ClickOnce deployment to deploy your .NET app. It will still throw a security warning, but you can tame it by signing your app (you get a nicer-looking dialog). (You could rewrite the app using Adobe AIR and deploy using that, but there's no real advantage in your situation, unless cross-platform is a requirement.) 2009/4/22 jose2250 j...@queryaccess.com: I recently developed a Desktop Application using Visual Basic 2008 Express .Net 3.5. It works ok. Application will look for .pdf files on a specific folder on C: drive, rename the files according to some user's input and database query result, then upload the renamed files to an FTP server. No problem. However, the company don't want a desktop application. So, my goal is to re-create the application using a new Rich Internet Application technology. I then, created a Windows User Control in VB.net 3.5 and embedded the .dll in an html page. This works great on my local development pc, however, it will have some security issues when I try to run it on our intranet. It seems like the control (Activex), will not allow access to the local files. I just need access to be able to rename files on C:, that's it. Then I came across Silverligt and Flex development software. But, after playing with flex for a little, noticed that Flex will not be my best choice to access and rename local files, is that right? Any suggestions about the technology that we should use?

Re: [flexcoders] adobe team: do you get the Windows crash reports when we send them?
Same process, so I doubt it. That's a Windows telemetry thing, and while there are APIs to hook into that for recovery, I don't think you can redirect the reports. On second thoughts, I vaguely remember there's a section on the Microsoft website where app developers can apply to view telemetry collected about their app. I'll let the Adobe guys respond, but the quickest way to get a response would be to file or vote for a bug at bugs.adobe.com. I get the same crash at random times, along with errors saying FP9 can't be found, or the app just not launching. A relaunch usually fixes this, but it's annoying.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex, SharePoint and SQLServer
1. could work, because you can use Flex to get the data via SharePoint's HTTP APIs. May make it difficult to query; not sure what options are available in the SharePoint API. 2. You would need some kind of service in between to mediate, i.e. to provide a HTTP API to SQL Server. Either something custom written in ASP.NET (or whatever other web server tech you have on site), or maybe ADO.NET Data Services (the HTTP API for SQL Server hinted at by Tracy)?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Ribbon in FLEX
2009/4/2 Cole Joplin cole_jop...@yahoo.com: Scott uses Microsoft's participation in standards bodies and knowledge of gui research that clearly expresses an authority posture to legitimize his point. The typical posts here are overtly subjective developer opinions taken with a grain of salt. Clearly not the same content. I thought declaring yourself as a Microsoft employee immediately meant everything you say is to be taken with multiple grains of salt :P You might want to look into Scott's history - he might not be doing Flex stuff day-in, day-out in recent times, but he has a solid background in Flex, and I'm sure he's kept up with development on Flex/Flash and other Adobe stuff. If he disclosed his affliations, I don't have an issue with it (as long as it doesn't become a war between MS and Adobe people, which to be fair, has happened with Scott before). I'd rather hear excuses from them (and Adobe people for that matter), than nothing at all.
Re: [flexcoders] Adding tabs dynamically
How are you adding the tabs to the tabnavigator?
2009/4/2 markgoldin_2000 markgoldin_2...@yahoo.com:
I am having a problem adding tabs to tabnavigator. While I am going in one
order tabs are generated in a different then mine. Here is some code although
it's simplified:
// Scan thru scanning each zone and add as many as needed
zoneNumber = resultXML.children().length();
currentZone = 0;
createNextTab(resultXML);
private function createNextTab(resultXML:XML):void
{
if (currentZone zoneNumber)
{
node = resultXML.zoneconfiguration[currentZone];
var Tab:boxing = new boxing();
Tab.id = node.lineid.toString();
Tab.label = Boxing Area + Tab.id +
;
Tab.paramObj.lineid = node.lineid;
Tab.attachJobInProgress(boxingareas);
callLater(createNextTab, [resultXML]);
currentZone++;
}
}
resultXML looks very simple: nodes with lineid.
Tab.paramObj.lineid drives IDs of tabs.
While I am going from 1 to 6, Tabs have a random order: mostly 2, 1,
Hope my problem is clear.
Thanks

Re: [flexcoders] Re:Separate browser sessions in AIR
Thanks for the responses everyone. Amy: For some browsers yes, but nevertheless, it would be a nice capability for AIR to have. No idea how it works for other browser controls. Wesley: The site I'm logging into is a third-party site that I have no control over. Martyn: This is with the mx:HTML control. I've noticed it uses a HTMLLoader (inherited from URLLoader), and that has a manageCookies property which when set to false, allows me to manage cookies manually via header manipulation according to the docs. Unfortunately, I can't work out how to hook into the loader to know when it is making requests, and the underlying request object so I can inject the headers. I'm not sending these requests manually with URLRequest and I can't because the user needs to be able to use the webpage via the mx:HTML control. 2009/3/31 Martyn Bowis mar...@netdesign.co.nz: Have you considered using a single session, but separating out your different user logins into separate child objects within that one session? eg: in a typical session, you might have a session object with the following keys: session.firstname session.lastname session.email session.cart ..., etc. So, why not instead use: session.user1.firstname session.user1.lastname session.user1.email session.user1.cart ..., etc. and session.user2.firstname session.user2.lastname session.user2.email session.user2.cart ..., etc. If the user is logging in from the same computer, then they are the same person, but using separate objects for each of their logins/profiles like the above may solve the problem you have. Kind regards, Martyn
[flexcoders] Separate browser sessions in AIR
Hi everyone, I've got a Flex-based AIR app that manages accounts and stores a number of usernames and passwords for a particular website. On a user's request, the app launches a new window with a mx:HTML control, opening the website and allows users to log in. The problem is, all instances of the mx:HTML control share the same browser session. So if I had two different mx:HTML controls in the same AIR app instance, I can't log into the same website using different login credentials because the cookies are shared and would confuse it (in this instance, the second login will replace the first one). There doesn't seem to be any way to tell AIR to start different browser sessions, or even end an existing one. Am I missing something obvious, and is anyone else in the same boat? Cheers, Sam

Re: [flexcoders] Hi! And a question about installing an AIR app
Yes, you need admin rights for both installing the runtime and the apps. You can just deploy the installed files I think, but you lose the uninstall functionality, and possibly the updating functionality. The former isn't that important to you anyway if your desktops are managed. Haven't tried deploying AIR apps in such an environment, but may possibly be doing so in the next few months, so I'll be interested to see how you deal with it. 2009/3/18 Stuart Greenberg yahoo-gro...@stuartistry.com: First of all, I'd like to say hi to everyone.

Re: [flexcoders] Disabling internet explorer keys like f5, f1 etc and firing flex application keys
As a sidenote - I'm not sure what Buzzword does, but I wouldn't be very happy if a flex app overrode my platform-specific keyboard shortcuts. For example, I would expect the browser to refresh if I pressed F5 whenever I'm in the browser, not do whatever custom action you overrode it to do. I think unless you break out of the browser (at least visibly like Chrome even if not technically like AIR), overriding platform/browser keyboard shortcuts is a bad idea. It just increases the confusion, and also makes debugging/troubleshooting a pain when your flex app doesn't have focus, but the browser does have window focus. 2009/3/18 jitendra jain jitendra_jain_2...@yahoo.com: Thanks Alex for your kind reply, Only IE differs from all the browsers.

Re: [flexcoders] Ribbon in FLEX
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/HA101679411033.aspx?pid=CL100796341033#2 Kind of like the toolbar for picking controls in Adobe Dreamweaver (unless they've changed it in recent versions). Unfortunately I haven't heard of any Flash implementations, only Silverlight implementations. You could implement it yourself using a TabNavigator and Panel controls inside each tab for groups, and buttons inside them. It's the styling that will be a pain - the official specs are available from Microsoft for free though, with some conditions attached (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/office/aa973809.aspx). You could also use the images and even code if you know XAML from the Silverlight version - http://silverlightribbon.codeplex.com/ Personally I'd be making my own interpretation of the ribbon control instead of following the Microsoft version to the dot, especially seeing as they have changed a few bits in Windows 7 which will probably filter down to Office in Office 2010 (e.g. the confusion with the File menu - the Orb in the top corner is now gone). 2009/3/13 Tracy Spratt tspr...@lariatinc.com: I am not familiar with that control, can you describe it?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Find the middel of the screen
You can get the screen resolution from the Capabilities object - see
here
http://www.thedesilva.com/2008/06/finding-client-machine-capabilities-using-flex-flash/.
From that you can work out the middle of the screen.
However, a word of warning - I have no idea how Flash and/or different
operating systems handle multiple displays. On Windows, all screen
location points (x, y) are relative to the 'primary' screen. So the
location point on any screen left or below of the primary screen will
have negative values for example. There is not enough information
provided for you to be able to handle these situations, which are
becoming increasingly common.
If you're looking just to place your app in the middle of the screen,
I'd argue the effort isn't worth the effect.
2009/3/12 bartman279 bartman...@yahoo.com:
Of the screen? No, at least not any way that I am aware.
You can determine the center of your flex application:
private function findCenter() : void
{
var centerX:int = Application.application.width/2;
var centerY:int = Application.application.height/2;
Alert.show( String( centerX ) + x + String( centerY )
);
}
Hope this helps!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: try, catch, finally ...
I thought Alex said before that exceptions don't appear for users running the standard Flash Player (i.e. not the debug one). Hence the user won't even know something went wrong; rather the app will probably just enter some unknown/unusable state and effectively freeze. There are cases for using try-catch when there is no other option. But when there are, e.g. testing the type of a variable before casting it or using a fault handler, try-catch should not be used. That could make the code a bit convoluted though, so in cases where errors can occur at many points (e.g. processing data files from an external server) a try-catch may be preferable, not only for code style, but also because you are unlikely to be able to pre-empt and mitigate all the errors that might occur. 2009/3/5 Weyert de Boer w...@innerfuse.biz: I respectfully disagree with not handling exceptions and let them raised in the player. Of course, eating exceptions is terribly bad. Yes, raising exceptions because user input is bad is a long stretch. Hi Kevin, Try-Catch blocks are an absolute necessity as without them, you are putting the operation of your software into the hands of user input errors, http errors, unintended consequences as well as the myriad of things that exist outside the Happy Path. I respectfully disagree. IMHO, try-catch is only useful in rare situations; like file IO in an Air app. User input should be handled with restict and validators and http errors should be handled with a fault handler. What I'm saying is that well written/tested code rarely needs the overhead and verboseness of a try-catch block. In the event of un-caught errors, I personally want the Flash window to popup. While the dialog could be more elegant, the stack trace makes it easier to locate the problem and fix the bug quickly.

Upon further investigation, it appears that a netstream event is firing 20 times a second, and within the listener (listener function that is) for the event, there is a try-catch-finally block. I removed the try-catch-finally and CPU usage halved on my machine. Anyone care to comment for or against try-catch-finally and it's use.

Re: [flexcoders] jQuery for Flex - a Behavior Injection Framework
I think you forgot the link (or my phone's playing tricks with me). http://code.seanhess.net/?p=156 Nice work btw. I'm going to have to think about how it fits in with Flex and my current workflow, but I'll give it a shot in my new project :) On 3/3/09, Sean Clark Hess seanh...@gmail.com wrote: jQuery for Flex - a Behavior Injection Frameworkhttp://code.seanhess.net/?p=156 [...] I’ve just finished my pre-alpha version of a Behavior Injection framework for Flex. It adds support for functionality similar to jQuery for flex, along with support for a more complete CSS syntax. The approach is slightly different than jQuery, and hopes to play along with Flex’s strengths as well.

Re: [flexcoders] HandCursor (pointing version)
I'm not sure that they look the same cross-platform and/or cross-browser. But if you're on Windows, they're in C:\Windows\Cursors. There's probably some app out there that converts .cur files to .pngs. 2009/3/3 djhatrick djhatr...@yahoo.com: I am having bugs with handCursor, where can i find that little pointer png. So I can make my own cursor I would just clip one out of a screenshot, but screenshots hide the mouse :( -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Alternative FAQ location: https://share.acrobat.com/adc/document.do?docid=942dbdc8-e469-446f-b4cf-1e62079f6847 Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.comYahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] question for flex coders
Because in the line,
return publishDate.format(dateItem[dateColumn.dataField]);
dateItem[dateColumn.dataField] is an XML object, not a string, and the
date formatter doesn't like that. Try adding toString() after it and
it should work, i.e.
return publishDate.format(dateItem[dateColumn.dataField].toString());
2009/2/27 b...@bueche.com:
Why does my dateformater NOT work in my grid (below) if
I specify the resultformat as E4X? Thats the only difference
I can see in the grids below.
Grids 1 and 2 are not e4X and yet they display the date as processed by the
dateformatter.
Grids 3 and 4 are e4x and the field is just blank for them.
Hopefully I'm not being bone-headed!
thanks in advance,
brad

Re: [flexcoders] Tons of errors using FlexBuilder on Ubuntu
2009/2/26 Kelly dek...@gmail.com: I keep trying to use it in Ubuntu but without much success. It crashes a lot. I am using 8.10 though. What do the Eclipse logs say? They might help in working out what's wrong. Which version of Java are you running as well while you're at it. There are various fixes for certain things floating around, but at the end of the day you get a hodge-podge version that kind of works still. I don't even care about design view. I would be happy if it only had the features it currently has in the Alpha. I woulld've strongly missed this initially, but surprisingly, I'm beginning to see MXML like HTML and don't even resort to the design view anymore (also because it's clunky and slow too in Windows). I'd drop Flex Builder any day if it weren't for the lack of serious alternatives - its nowhere near the IDE I expected. Who still uses Windoze? Srsly. Windoze is just expensive patented spyware. It spys on you in about 50 different ways. Micro$oft admitted it in their patents. No doubt Macs do the same thing. Just more expensive. Right. That makes you super cool spelling Windows and Microsoft that way. And I presume you've checked through the source code of every component used in your installation of Ubuntu to make sure it isn't sending anything either. There are perfectly legitimate reasons for collecting such data, and no doubt Ubuntu (and some of the apps running on your computer) have a similar program. I'm not trying to justify some of the things that Microsoft collect; but just because you don't know doesn't mean it isn't there. You don't seem to have an issue with Google spying on you via your gmail account, your searches and anything else you perform on Google sites whilst logged into your Google account...
