[flexcoders] Context dependent non modal pop p. How?

[Sergey Kovalyov]

Hi All!

Sometimes I have to create popup in some view and it belongs to this view.

So I want it to be automatically hidden when view is not visible and shown
again when view is visible again.

In my particular case this view is the child of tab navigator that in its
turn is the part of the view that is child of another tab navigator.

How to handle this properly?

If I have simple one level nesting visual hierarchy, I would probably add
listeners to show and hide event and will switch the pop up visibility.

Things are different when I have the situation I have described above, so,
for instance, if the user change the selected tab in the topmost tab
navigator my nested view knows nothing about that and the popup remains
visible.

Currently I handle all those cases in parent views controllers, though maybe
better apprach exists?

Thank you in advance!

Sergey.

Re: [flexcoders] Runtime fonts embedding in AIR

[Sergey Kovalyov]

But it seems that in this case loaded SWF resides in the different
applcation domain and thus its Font.registerFont() call does nothing for the
parent application.

 Hi All!



 Probably the most popular approach to load fonts runtime is to generate SWF
 files either in Flash or in Flex where font is registered via
 Font.registerFont(fontClass).



 In Flash you normally add it to the library.



 In Flex you embed it via [Embed] metatag.



 And we have used this approach for a while as a guideline for content
 developers.



 In our Flex application this works perfect.



 But now we need to show the same content in the AIR application.



 And since all SWF fonts are in the local-with-file sandbox, their
 Font.registerFont() calls are just ignored.



 In other words, when I create text fields upon the SWF font loading and use
 that loaded font, it just does not work.





 *private* *function* onEmbeddedFontComplete() : *void* {

 *trace*(Font.enumerateFonts().length); *// Output 0;*

 *var* textField : UITextField = *new* UITextField();

 textField.htmlText =

 *font face='SegoeScript'Segoe Script/font*;

 textField.rotation = 30;

 box.addChild(textField);

 }

 ...

 mx:SWFLoader

 id=embeddedFont complete=onEmbeddedFontComplete() /

 I suppose this should be quite common problem when you are creating some
 text editing software that works with runtime loaded fonts which are not
 deployed along with the application, but created by users, and eventually
 you need to migrate to AIR.



 Any ideas how to avoid the problem without modification to the content (we
 already have a lot of font files in use and we can not enforce users to
 redevelop all)?

[flexcoders] How to determine the minimum container size while scroll bars still not needed

[Sergey Kovalyov]

Hi All!

There is mx_internal::getScrollableRect() method and the value it returns
does not change when you make the container smaller at some moment when
scroll bars appears.

But I need to know those values at any given time.

Finally what I want to achieve is to have resize handle in the right bottom
corner that allows to resize the container, but does not allow to make it
smaller than the size when all children fit and no scroll bars are needed.

Any ideas?

[flexcoders] commitProperties() and navigation container children

[Sergey Kovalyov]

Hi All!

Long time ago I have asked the question regarding commitProperties()
implementation in the container that might be a navigation container child:
http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders@yahoogroups.com/msg47993.html

Unfortunately, I have not got any answer.

Though we, in our team, use kind of workaround:

 override protected function commitProperties() : void {
 super.commitProperties();

 if (processedDescriptors) {
  // Do all properties deferred processing here.
 } else {
  _commitPropertiesPostponed = true;
 }
}

...

private function onInitialize() : void {
 if (_commitPropertiesPostponed)  {
  _commitPropertiesPostponed = false;
  invalidateProperties();
 }
}
Thus if the commitProperties() is executing and there are no children
created yet (this happens for navigation containers childrent and can be
verified via processedDescriptors), we set the _commitPropertiesPostponed
flag to true and then in initialize event handler reset it and call
invalidateProperties() to execute commitProperties() once again.

Though it looks like a hack.

May be we are doing something wrong and better solution exists?

Yes, solution exists (

[flexcoders] Cast XMLList with 1 child to XML

Hi All!

Is it correct to cast XMLList with 1 child to XML like this:

var myXMLList : XMLList = sourceXML..item.(@id == 1); // It is guaranteed
that only one node with name == item and attribute id == 1 exists in
sourceXML.
var myXML : XML = XML(myXMLList);

Actually it works and it fails only when I change the sourceXML thus there
are more then one node with name == item and attribute id == 1 in it. In
this case exception is thrown. But I would like to know is it correct
approach in general or not.

[flexcoders] Clicking BACKSPACE button in TextField (and thus TextArea) does not fire change event when the character removed is ENTER (char code 13)

[Sergey Kovalyov]

Hi All!

Clicking backspace button in TextField (and thus TextArea) does not fire
change event when the character removed by backspace is enter (char code 13)

Run the example below in the debug mode and perform this scenario:

1. Click on the text area to set focus on it.
2. Click 1, ENTER, 2, ENTER, 3, BACKSPACE, BACKSPACE.
3. As a result the change event is not fired after the last BACKSPACE click.

Is it bug or feature? I assume that it is a bug, because the text length
actually changes and the textField height changes also if the TextField has
autoSize property set to other value than none.

Probably, you have not selected the first item before clicking on a button.
That's why new item has not been added. See this:

3. Click Add button. As a result My Leaf subnode is created as a child of My
Branch.
4. Click My Leaf disclosure icon to expland this item.
5. Exception mentioned above is thrown.

 I compile this example in Flex 2.01 and run in Flash Player 9.0.47.0.

We have found workaround. The bug can be fixed by setting Tree

I want to allow users use their own fonts in application. To do that first

Re: [flexcoders] What is the best way to compare two arrayselement by element ignoring the order?

[Sergey Kovalyov]

But sorting actually depends on array element type, thus solution can not be

I like them very much for Array methods like filter(), map(), some(), any()
and forEach(). So if I create private methods instead, it would be faster,
right?

 If so, I would sort() them -- which I would expect to take only O(n ln n)
 -- and then compare them element by element until you found a mismatch or
 reached the end.

 Avoid using anonymous functions. My understanding is that they don't
 perform as well as class methods because they require an activation frame.

Extra points for higher-order function, although that is going to be
 O(n^2) (unless Array.indexOf() has a weird implementation). If you've
 got really, really big arrays (or are doing this in a tight loop) and
 you have O(n) memory to spare, you could consider building a hashmap of
 the values in Array a, and then walking Array b and checking if each
 element is in the hashmap:

 var differs:Boolean = (a.length != b.length);
 if (!differs) {
 var aContents = new Object();
 a.forEach(function(item:Object, index:int, array:Array):void {
 aContents[item] = true;
 });
 differs = b.some(function(item:Object, index:int, array:Array):Boolean
 {
 return aContents[item] == null;
 });
 }

 For small-ish arrays, though, I would expect your solution to be faster
 than mine (I won't define 'small-ish', since I would honestly be pulling
 a number out of my--err, out of thin air).

 Also, neither your solution nor mine handles the case where the same
 item is in one array twice (yours fails for dupes in a and mine for
 dupes in b).

[flexcoders] How to detect maximum Container width and height without scroll bars?

[Sergey Kovalyov]

Hi All!

What's the best abstract method to detect maximum width and height of the

For instance, I have VBox and 2 100x100 boxes inside it. In this case
considering the default verticalGap value that is 6, maximum width without
scrollbars is 100 and maximum height without scrollbars is 206. But what I
expect is some generic method to find those values, something similar to
private function createScrollbarsIfNeeded(bounds:Rectangle):Boolean method
from native Container implementation.

Hi All!

Why replaceText() method of TextField doesn't dispatch Event.CHANGE? Due to
this when I use TextRange class within either TextInput or TextArea, their

TextRange text setter implementation looks like this:


*public* *function* *set* text(value:String):*void
*

{

textField.replaceText(beginIndex,endIndex,value);

endIndex = beginIndex + value.length;

}

Therefore after replaceText() call TextInput and TextArea remain uninformed
about such a change and their _text and _htmlText doesn't change.

[flexcoders] How to manage 2 applications with different output folders in one project?

Hi All!

I have two applications: client and administrator area. They have a lot of

(MyApplicationFlexLibrary) and placed all the classes they use together into
the MyApplicationFlexLibrary. Actually, I consider this method is not easy
to manage when working in a team, because each class added to the library
should be registered within it and developers usually forget about it, so
that I'd prefer to have only 1 project instead of 3 with 2 mxml applications
- index.mxml and indexAdmin.mxml, but I want index.mxml to be published to
http://localhost/myApplication/index.html and indexAdmin.mxml to

[flexcoders] DataGridColumn visibility problem. It appears again when dataProvider is replaced

I have a DataGrid and its dataProvider property is binded to

}

*protected* *function* onPopulateButtonClick() : *void* {

users = *new* ArrayCollection();

users.addItem({firstName : *Victor*, middleName : *A*, lastName : *

}

[flexcoders] Links defined in Label or Text htmlText doesn't work upon the first click when in TabNavigator

[Sergey Kovalyov]

Hi All!

Take a look at this example:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;

mx:TabNavigator width=100% height=100%
 mx:VBox label=Adobe

   /mx:htmlText
  /mx:Label
 /mx:VBox
/mx:TabNavigator
/mx:Application

When you first click Adobe link, nothing happens. Though, if you click it
second time, application redirects you to Adobe website.

Moving this Label instance outside the TabNavigator causes correct behavior.

Any ideas?

Re: [flexcoders] Dispatching an Event from a Class

[Sergey Kovalyov]

Just call dispatchEvent() (e. g. dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.CHANGE))) in
any class that implements IEventDispatcher (e. g. all the EventDispatcher
successors). Note, that UIComponent and all its successors implement
IEventDispatcher, so dispatchEvent() could be called in any subclass of Box,
ComboBox, Label, TextArea, HSlider, etc:

package {

import mx.controls.HSlider;

public class MyHSlider extends HSlider {

 public function MyHSlider() {
  super();

  dispatchEvent(new Event(instanceConstructed));
 }

}

  Hello All,

I am attempting to dispatch an Event from a generic Class File, and I

I was hoping, that I could simply do this:

And then in my function, I could simply dispatch the event like this:

IEventDispatcher.dispatchEvent( event );

But it doesn't allow me to do this. In the meantime, I extended my
Class to use the UIComponent, which automatically pulls in all the
EventDispatcher stuff. Of course, it's silly for me to do this, since I
really don't have a need to extend the UIComponent class.

There must be a way, to import the proper Class, in order to simply
dispatch events.

Any advice?

[flexcoders] Dead loop in UITextField.tructateToFit()

[Sergey Kovalyov]

Hi All!

It seems that setting very long string to the text property of classes
that decorate UITextField (e. g. Label) causes dead loop and time out
exception. Take a look at truncateToFit() method in UITextField class.
You could find this block there:

while (s.length  1  textWidth + TEXT_WIDTH_PADDING  w)
{
s = s.slice(0, -1);
super.text = s + truncationIndicator;
}

It means that actual text is cut char by char until result of its
concatenation with truncation indicator fits into the width available
or only one char left. When text is very long the problem described
above appears. I believe it would work much more faster using
division by 2. In this case even 64K text truncation will take only
16 loop cycles. Hope this will be fixed in future releases.

True. :( FLVPlayer was a high-level media player component. Probably, it was
right Adobe decision to get rid of it, because such a high-level components
can't be framework element. Though it was very easy to use. :)

[flexcoders] Image download progress indicator

[Sergey Kovalyov]

Hi All!

What is the best way to create in place image download progress
indicator? Sure, I can create Canvas with two images inside - one is
embeded download indicator and another is dynamic image to be
downloaded, but it does not look like the best solution.

Sure, I would like to have respective style in Image class like a

wrong?

it happes, sometimes not. Initially I have found it when there was no
mx:target property tag within the child declaration:

mx:AddChild
mx:TextInputLabel /
/mx:AddChild

I have added mx:target:

mx:AddChild
mx:target
mx:TextInputLabel /
/mx:target
/mx:AddChild

And bug disappeared, but only for a while...

[flexcoders] Focus manager component inside scrollable container

[Sergey Kovalyov]

Hi All!

If user is pressing Tab key, scrollable container does not move its
content to make focused component visible. It remains invisible in
some cases, because it's out of the visible part of scrollable
content. How to implement this behaviour (actually native for most
users)?

[flexcoders] Zip-code validation

[Sergey Kovalyov]

Hi All!

As far as I understand Flex built-in ZipCodeValidator does not
validate zip codes precisely. In other words it only checks whether
the edited value is 5 digit number. So that 0 is interpreted as
valid. What are the best practices for precise zip code validation?
For now I I'm considering using built-in ZipCodeValidator together
with:

1. Runtime server side validation on text change and/or focus out
and/or form submit.
2. Validate zip code button on the right of the field that triggers
server side validation.
3. Triggering server site validation only upon form submit.

Any other ideas?

Sergey.

[flexcoders] truncateToFit does not work when percentWidth is defined for Label

[Sergey Kovalyov]

Hi All!

I have a container and Label instance inside it. Unfortunately,
truncateToFit does not work if Label instance width is set in percent.
Please, take a look at the example below:

?xml version=1.0?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
width=100%
height=100%

mx:Box width=25%
mx:Label width=100% text=Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean ligula. Sed eget pede sed metus
nonummy rhoncus. Nam congue, tortor nec dignissim tincidunt, augue
odio volutpat sem, non vulputate lectus nulla vitae leo. Vestibulum
aliquet bibendum felis. Aenean in turpis mattis tellus tempus sodales.
Nulla sem. Maecenas lobortis pharetra lacus. Fusce non odio nec massa
auctor pharetra. Aenean vulputate posuere justo. Nulla vitae eros vel
eros aliquet euismod. /
/mx:Box

/mx:Application



On the other hand, if I assign fixed width to Label instance,
everything works ok:



?xml version=1.0?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
width=100%
height=100%

mx:Box width=25%
mx:Label width=200 text=Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, 
consectetuer
adipiscing elit. Aenean ligula. Sed eget pede sed metus nonummy
rhoncus. Nam congue, tortor nec dignissim tincidunt, augue odio
volutpat sem, non vulputate lectus nulla vitae leo. Vestibulum aliquet
bibendum felis. Aenean in turpis mattis tellus tempus sodales. Nulla
sem. Maecenas lobortis pharetra lacus. Fusce non odio nec massa auctor
pharetra. Aenean vulputate posuere justo. Nulla vitae eros vel eros
aliquet euismod. /
/mx:Box

/mx:Application



But in my case Label width should be set in percents.

Sergey.

[flexcoders] Complex container sizing problem (100% height and measured maxHeight)

[Sergey Kovalyov]

Hi All!

I want my container (e. g. Panel) to be sized by its children, though
its height should not be greater than 100%. When I don't set height,
the container is sized by its children endlessly, but when I set it to
100% it occupies all the space available, so that there is emptiness
below the container content.

How to solve my problem?

I think it's necessary to set height to 100% and bind maxHeight to
getter that would calculate the space required, considering the
current content of container. Is there any transparent way to
calculate it properly regardless of container class?

Are there any other solutions?

Thank you in advance!

Sergey.

Re: [flexcoders] Complex container sizing problem (100% height and measured maxHeight)

[Sergey Kovalyov]

Ok, in other words I want my panel to be sized by its children (no emptiness inside below the children), but this panel height must not be greater than 100% (vertical scroll would appear inside it when there are too much children).

Hi,I 'think' I just had the same issue as you although I don't quite understand what you wrote.Try setting your parent containers minWidth=100 and minHeight=100;See the long thread on the flexcomponents yahoo mailing list as it is to lengthy to describe what is happening. 
 topLevelSystemManager.getObjectsUnderPoint() :: Scroll BogYeah, bog is supposed to be bug ;-)This might not solve your problem if I am misunderstanding you.

Re: [flexcoders] Why defaultButton do not work when in TabNavigator?

[Sergey Kovalyov]

As far as I remember, Adobe knows about this bug and it would be fixed
in upcoming updater release. Also it seems that there is no
workaround...

On 10/13/06, hank williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 I am encountering this same problem, namely that the defaultButton
 feature doesnt work inside a tabnavigator.

 Is this confirmed as a known bug, and is there a work around?

[flexcoders] PopUpMenuButton weird behaviour

[Sergey Kovalyov]

Hi All!

I launched the simple example of PopUpMenuButton usage, taken from
help. It shows tree menu, but its behaviour is weird. When I mouse
over an item that contains nested menu, it show that menu, but when I
mouse over another item in the root level, the entire menu
disappears. Is it correct?

Sergey.

[flexcoders] What do I need to force UIComponent calculate its size automatically?

[Sergey Kovalyov]

Hi All!

I have UIComponent instance (e. g. Box) myBox. I want to set its width
(e. g. myBox.width = 100), but height should be calculated
automatically, depending on box content. What value should I assign to
height? myBox.height = NaN works ok, but I'm not sure it's stable...

Sergey.

True. But if the value is assigned already?
