[flexcoders] Glue - Beautiful Gooey MVC Framework for Flex
link - http://code.seanhess.net/?p=195 [...] So, this isn’t an official release, but more of a call for feedback. I just finished a first-draft of a new MVC framework for Flex that I’m calling Glue. I started out with several specific goals in mind. I’ve been trying to think of how the perfect MVC framework ought to behave, and have designed Glue accordingly. I’m directly responding to the wonderful Mate framework and a few others I’ve used. [...] Hi all, looking for feedback on this approach to MVC in flex. Thanks for your help! ~sean
[flexcoders] Bifff - Behavior Injection Framework for Flex - v0.3 Released
I've just released the next version of Bifff, which provides a way to use full css selectors to associate behaviors with flex components. For more information, please read the following. Release Notes - http://code.seanhess.net/?p=179 Documentation - http://wiki.github.com/seanhess/bifff For this release, I've written a lot of documentation, have added support for custom behaviors, and have added a component that can parse a stylesheet, allowing you to have a much more robust css engine for Flex. For example, you could use it to set the label of a button, all while using Bifff's robust css selectors. Don't forget to join the google group if you're interested in learning more or trying it out. ~sean

[flexcoders] Some machines cannot sent data to Binary Socket
Hi everybody,
I'm very stumped, and any help would be appreciated. I have written a socket
server in PHP that communicates with flex via the Socket class (and JSON
encoded messages).
I've written a test client, and the server is currently active
https://sean.rapidintake.com/SocketTest.html
Some people cannot send binary data, even though they seem to be getting the
policy file just fine. I've tested this with tons of friends, in addition to
the client. All of my friends were able to get through all the steps just
fine, except for one, but noone at the client company can.
So, for me and those like me, I get through all the steps. For all of the
employees at the client site, and for one friend, it hangs on the ping
server step.
What is going on? I've checked server logs and the ping message never
comes through, and the client is never notified that they have connected,
even though there is no security error. Any ideas?
This is what your log should look like if it works:::
Thanks!
~sean

[flexcoders] how to override a public var, or put it in an interface?
I want to make a class that works with both DataGridColumn and AdvancedDataGridColumn. Each of these has a dataField property. I have subclassed each, and they both implement a common interface. In the interface, I have function set dataField(value:String):void function get dataField():String I get the error Interface method get dataField ... is implemented with an incompatible signature So, if I try to override it in the subclass, I get incompatible override Is there a good way to do this? I guess I could leave it out of the interface and cast it as an object to work with dataField, but that's kind of lame.
[flexcoders] Re: how to override a public var, or put it in an interface?
Oh, I forgot to mention. The reason why the interface doesn't work is because it was implemented as a public var instead of an accessor.

[flexcoders] Where is the right place to add children from a setter?
Hi everybody, I know how to add children to a component doing something like the following, but I can't help but think there ought to be a better way to do it. Perhaps I should be overriding one of UIComponent's methods? Anyway, the issue (see link) is that container isn't defined when the setter is called. Where is the proper place to actually add the children? http://pastie.textmate.org/234853 You would use it like this -- me:myComp me:newChildren mx:Button label='new button'/ /me:newChildren /me:myComp Thanks!

[flexcoders] How to use scrollPosition if the scrollbars are off?
Hi, I'm trying to set horizontalScrollPosition, but I don't want to show any scroll bars. I'm trying to have the scrollbar of another component control this one (by binding to horizontalScrollPosition on the other component). However, if I set horizontalScrollPolicy='off' the position variable doesn't do anything. I've tried extending the component to hide the scroll bar, but I'm still left with a white area underneath. Any ideas? What is the right way to do this? Thanks!

[flexcoders] Default size in custom UIComponents
I don't have a lot of experience making custom UI Components, but there is one thing I've noticed several times that doesn't make any sense. When you add new subcomponents by overriding createChildren, they don't seem to show up at all unless you explicitly set the width and height. For example... var button:Button = new Button(); button.width = 20; // if you don't set these, it doesn't show up button.height = 20; addChild(button); It seems like a lot of the time you would want the button to be just as big as it's going to be, without setting it's width and height. I'm sure there's a way to do this. What am I missing? Please note that I most recently noticed this on a button that was skinned. ~sean

Oh, i know what to do. On the last frame of your animation, put the

dispatchEvent(new Event('lastFrame'));
Then, you can listen for that event to know when to start the next one,

SWFLoader has a content property. As soon as it is fully loaded
and content
is defined, try something like this.
var movie:MovieClip = mySwfLoader.content as MovieClip;
movie.addEventListener( ... uhhh
Actually, I've never worked with flash movieclips in as3 (I've
only used
flex stuff). Why doesn't movieclip have an end or stop
event???
I guess you could always use enterFrame as the event handler, and
check for
the last frame in good old as2 style

[flexcoders] Socket does not connect on FP9 r45
Hello coders! This is my first question to the list, so go easy on me, alright? :) I spent quite a while developing a good socket system that communicated with PHP via JSON. It uses the Socket class (since that's the only way you can do it, as far as I'm aware). It works perfectly now, with one small caveat. When testing it on machines with r45 of FP9 installed, it didn't connect. I'm not sure which version started working, but I think it works on r115 and r124. As far as I can tell, the connect event just never fires. The policy file request goes through fine, but the socket server never hears from the connection request. Thanks! ~sean
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Socket does not connect on FP9 r45
Does WebORB use sockets? I thought it was an http connection, but I could be mistaken. If there's a better way, I'd be happy to switch, but I couldn't find anything. The current system is VERY lightweight, and it's quite unlikely that WebORB is faster, but it might be a lot more stable -- I definitely want to look into it. Our needs are 1) Messaging between clients (Push to client) 2) Speed (for lightweight messages) Does WebORB do #1?

Re: [flexcoders] display text input values in datagrid
You want to change your val() function to something more like this.

var values:Array = new Array();
// this is only one row
values.push({tt1:pp1.text, tt2:pp2.text, tt3:pp3.text});

The dataProvider for a datagrid should be something like an array (because
of all the rows). Each row should be an object with fields (like tt1
tt2 and tt3)

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Socket does not connect on FP9 r45
Ok, that's what I thought about WebORB. We were using a custom polling mechanism before switching to sockets -- the delay was annoying, which is why we switched. Are you saying that BlazeDS uses http persistent connections? You're right, that could get annoying. It doesn't make any sense to use persistent connections with apache or another large-scale HTTP server. My socket server bypasses apache and just uses TCP/IP and the Socket class to open as many persistent connections as I need. Since the communication is so lightweight (no files, or even real data passed), it shouldn't be a big deal to have hundreds or thousands of persistent connections at a time. Any time it needs to pass big data, it just stores it in the db, messages the recipients, who get it through a standard HTTP service. So far, our custom solution seems to be the best, since messages are sent fairly infrequently, but we want them to show up instantaneously. A 2 or 4 second poll per client, with each one accessing the database can get hairy pretty fast.

Re: [flexcoders] display text input values in datagrid
Ah, I understand. You should use an ArrayCollection. If you set the
dataProvider of the datagrid to the array collection, you can update or
change the collection's source at any time.
So, you'd want something like this:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;

private var collection:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(new
Array());
private function val():void
{
// will add one row to the collection you are already
watching
collection.source.push({tt1:pp1.text, tt2:pp2.text,
tt3:pp3.text});
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:TextInput x=170 y=73 id=pp1/
mx:TextInput x=170 y=73 id=pp2/
mx:TextInput x=170 y=73 id=pp3/

When testing it on machines with r45 of FP9 installed, it didn't connect. I'm not sure which version started working, but I think it works on r115 and r124.

Yes, use event.target.

The reason why your last two things don't work is because, unlike
javascript, this and id would refer to the parent component (e.g. the
file you are currently editing). So, if you want to pass id you have to
pass ComponentCId.id (like you did in #2). Or, if you want to pass this
you have to pass ComponentDId

The mx:Model tag converts everything to a flat object. So the minute you

It's still easy enough to loop through though.

Re: [flexcoders] Inspecting data from HTTPService result to an ArrayCollection

can a datagrid read an xml object directly? (Like, an XMLList or

than the original XML? Does it have something to do with the strong typing?
Thanks

It is a rare case that you want to use mx:Model or the default

have no control over the conversion process (your strings that look like

dynamic objects, which have an access peformance penalty.
I advise using resultFormat=e4x, a result handler function, and an
instance variable to hold the xmlResult.
The best performance, especially in a multi-renderer DataGrid, will be if
you manually convert the XML node data ino an ArrayCollection of strongly

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Reference to mxml id from within mxml component
Hi Ted.
1. Oh, right... the mouse events bubble, so they are fired not only for your
components, but for whatever you actually clicked on underneath it. It
looks like I used event.currentTarget instead of event.target. Can you
trace (event.target) and see if it is actually the component you wanted?
2. Try fixing 1 and seeing if that fixes
3. You needed to import flash.display.Spirte; Google flex 3 language
reference. you can find everything there. The only reason I used sprite
was because that was the class that defines startDrag. Normally, if all the
components were the same (all of type ComponentA), I would do
event.currentTarget as ComponentA, since that's more specific. Since all
flex components are UIComponents, which are sprites, they all have the
startDrag event. you would have to import your ComponentA though. You
could have done event.currentTarget as UIComponent just as easily (import
mx.core.UIComponent).

I've only just started playing with your suggestion - it seems to work
fine but there are some things I'm going to need to dig into before I
fully understand what's going on:
1. Not only do my components drag around fine, but the components
*within* those components now also drag around. Interesting, but not
what I expected. I'm going to have to figure out how to lock those
internal parts of the component.
2. There is some text that I'm displaying within the components. It
appears that this text is not allowed to be dragged, and when I click
on the text to drag it an error is thrown.
3. I now need to add an additional line of code import
flash.display.*. I didn't need that before - presumably I need it now
to cast the component into a Sprite. Not sure which part of
flash.display.* I actually need.
All the best!

You don't need a flex/ajax bridge just to let flex and javascript talk to each other. The simplest way to do that is with the ExternalInterface class. It's pretty easy to use.
