[flexcoders] 360 Flex Community Survey - Only 3 Questions.
All, I noticed a posting on the 360 Flex blog regarding a survey they'd like more feedback on regarding what people want in a conference, and what 360 should be prioritizing on. It's just 3 questions: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=yGMLUk_2f4IRYXqoobzijRuQ_3d_3d

[flexcoders] *** 1st Bi-Annual Flex Coders Pulse Survey ***
In order for Evangelists (both independent supporters of Flex, Flex activists, Community Experts, and Adobe employed Evangelists) to focus their efforts, this survey is designed to capture the pulse of the Flex Ecosystem. Please invite as many people as you know to fill it out. Whether you're on the fence and evaluating Flex, or a hard-core Flex developer, all opinions count. Survey results will be made publicly available, and hopefully help tailor many efforts to match where the community currently is. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=238523173556 Thanks!!

I think this is an extreme complicate issue. Flex is based on Flash Player. At least in Brazil, softwares made in Flash is "the coolest but not functional", "funny intros" or "games in flash" and such. Is very difficult find some real developer for Flash who really knows AS. And those, charge a fortune. Based on that, and the plus that Adobe is "the photoshop company", make a little difficult that clients believe on Flex. I read on a blog (sorry, dont remember where) that the better way of sell an application on Flex, is not mention a word about flash player, flex, macromedia or adobe. You tell the client what amazing things he will have with this new technology and, after he go nuts, then you tell him that the Big Adobe is who sign the tools. Then you have other issue. Here, at least, the project managers have the tendency to new technologies. But not new as meaning "the best"... new as meaning "microsofts the best". I never agree with this vision, but one project manager told me something interesting: "when you buy a new car, you want the 'top most' from that well know company... you dont want something old, or refurbished." I think that Adobe is on the right path. Gaining territory from below. Making those project managers accept Flex before final clients. Making those project managers indicate Flex for the applications. Then, when clients begin to think in Flex before ask for an study, we will have those 1.000.000 developers on stand buy :) Today, at least here in Brazil, we dont have much developers, so there is no logic start selling projects without competent developers or we will only mark adobes flex as a bad product for the clients (this happen with dotNet and Java here in Brazil).

Re: [flexcoders] SQL Server and Flex 2
Joe, the first learning step to just get something going is to write
.NET/ASP pages that output simple XML that your Flex app consumes. In
the Flex Docs lookup stuff on "HTTPService". Using HTTPService you can
just connect to any URL that spits back XML, and then in Flex you can
work with that XML data.
mx:HTTPService id="srv" url="" class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://localhost/somexml.asp">"http://localhost/somexml.asp"
useProxy="false" /
And you could then display the results in a datagrid
mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{srv.lastResult.emps.employee}"
editable="true"
mx:columns
mx:Array
mx:DataGridColumn dataField="first"
headerText="First" editable="true" width="60"/
mx:DataGridColumn dataField="last"
headerText="Last" width="60"/
/mx:Array
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
Where the XML output looks something like:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?
emps
employee
firstJeff/first
lastSmith/last
/employee
employee
firstJohn/first
lastDoe/last
/employee
/emps
BUT... ultimately you want to use WebServices, which is almost exactly
the same from the Flex side. But there may be some challenges with how
.NET WebServices handle certain object/data types.
Joe wrote:
Okay,
I'm pretty new to the Flex scene and am very impressed with the
development so far. My company is wanting to start developing a
database application using an Ajax technology and realize I'm a little
behind the curve since Flex applications don't access data like the
.net applications I normally develop. We've already bought Flex
Builder 2.0 and I am being pushed to develop there.
So far the interface design and interaction development I'm catching,
but with the data access I'm lost.
Does anyone have any idea where to begin? I've tried browsing the
forums and just keep getting more confused, and all of the examples
I've found on the web don't use IIS/MSSQL.
Please Help!

Figured it out. The approach to use is with actionscript to dynamically

Re: [flexcoders] can I use older ver of CF with Flex 2
Hi Clint, I can't give a definitive answer. But back in the early early early days when for Flex 2 there was just going to be a CF-Flex Adapter, I tested to see if Flex 2 would work without any upgrades/patches - and for simple stuff it worked. Though no idea what issues you'll run into with the current version. Your safest route may be to use cfc's as a webservice until your hosted solution upgrades. Clint Tredway wrote: I have a project that I need to move to a CF server (shared hosting) and the server is 7.01... can I use the old remoting gateway with Flex 2?

Re: [flexcoders] PAIN - Debugging ColdFusion CFC Flex service call
Hi Erich. For Flex 1.5 use the Flash Trace Viewer: http://www.alexisisaac.net/flash/articles/flash-7-trace-viewer.html It was my best friend for monitoring traffic to and from Flex and CFCs. For Flex 2, as well as 1.5..there's my new best friend: ServiceCapture: http://kevinlangdon.com/serviceCapture/ Shannon Hicks wrote: You could always use SeeFusion (www.seefusion.com) The debugger output can show all requests, or requests from a specified IP address... not only would it show you the query and tell you the number of results (provided there was no error), but it would have shown you the error that happened before your query. Try the free version... 2 hour limit before you have to restart CF to get another two hours. Shan From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Erich Cervantez Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2006 11:43 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] PAIN - Debugging ColdFusion CFC Flex service call Yesterday I was debugging a situation where a Flex service call to a ColdFusion CFC wasn’t returning any records. Using netConnection Debugger and ServiceCapture yielded the same information. The particular query in question (within the CFC) being returned was “undefined”. In actuality, there was a bug several lines before the query that was faulting, thereby causing the query to never get executed and thus causing the variable (recordset) from said query to never get defined. Basically my problem was Flex never returned the proper error. I had to hunt through the CFC, dropping in random CFDUMPS or CFFILE statement (to dump variables to a log file) to try to find out what the problem was. I actually had to use a CF application written to invoke the CFC to see what the ColdFusion debugging output looked like. I am using Flex 1.5 at the moment. Has anyone found better ways to debug using Flex 1.5, and ColdFusion 7.0.1 CFC’s? Erich Cervantez Las Vegas, NV -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex2 :: Seperate Mailing List :: Component developers - Framework Devlopment
I've actually quietly made some new Flex mailing lists; I've let it simmer while waiting for Flex 2 to become final. I don't think too granular of lists works well as there's too much overlap in a lot of things. But I do see one problem arising with one super list like this - not only are the spectrum of topics vast, now you got to content with two major versions of the language in use (1.5 and 2), and so you'll have to do a lot prefacing of context in every single message. So... to alleviate that, I created the following: Flex 2- General :: General discussion regarding anything Flex 2. http://groups.google.com/group/Flex2-General Flex 2- Coldfusion :: Topics regarding Flex to CF integration http://groups.google.com/group/Flex2-CF Flex Builder 2 :: Discussion regarding the IDE, debugging, design, etc http://groups.google.com/group/Flex2-Builder Flex Jobs :: Recruiters welcome! http://groups.google.com/group/FlexJobs Tim Hoff wrote: I agree with you. It might be beneficial to have a separate list for component/framework related threads. It's probably cumbersome to weed through the development questions and answers some times. I personally joined this list because I was led here by a link at Adobe and the list description was applicable to my Flex usage. The flexcoders mailing list is for enterprise software developers, developing Rich Internet Applications using Macromedia Flex. The list will discuss methods and practices for Flex RIA development, including MXML and ActionScript 2.0, as well as best-practices including testing, design patterns, J2EE and .NET integration, etc. However, imho this is a two-way street. Application developers learn and benefit from component/framework threads. And conversely, some component/framework developersappreciate the feedback from developers that are using Flex to create real enterprise solutions. I am slowly but surely digging deeper into the Flex framework and its advanced concepts. So for me, it's good to have both sides in the same place.

[flexcoders] CFLEX.Net - Welcomes Posters....
Greetings All! For years I've sought out ways to achieve RIAs combined with the reality of rapid development and high pressure deadlines. This became a reality for me when Flex was released, and I have been championing its cause ever since. Flex is near and dear to my heart, and more importantly so is the community. In my own little way to support the community I put together a sort of "Flex Cookbook" called CFLEX to aggregate all the little tidbits of knowledge that were floating around there. My goals are to increase the size of the community by lowering the barrier to entry; so however or wherever that knowledge lay, I've been either hosting it or just linking to it. The ultimate goal of course is to make it completely community driven. I've taken that one step further by putting in the extra time to make that happen. You can now log into www.cflex.net, and shortly after creating an account you'll have the ability to post content. So for those of you who do not have Blogs, you are welcome to share your knowledge at CFLEX. Those of you that do, and create a "here's how to..." posting, feel free to add link from CFLEX to that particular posting. It goes beyond postings of course. As portal of sorts I'd like to list your publicly available Flex Apps, Components, Job Postings, User Groups, Consulting companies that specialize in Flex, Training programs, other Flex knowledge sites like FlexCF.com, as well as the leading experts and their blogs. Suggestions are welcome! -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!

Re: [flexcoders] Flex and Testing
Well you're talking about load testing. In terms of functionality and regression testing I recently posted about this topic: http://www.dopejam.com/shownewsitem.cfm?NewsID=215 We did some analysis.

Re: [flexcoders] Developing Rich Clients book
It's an excellent book I have to say, but keep in mind that it was written for Flex 1.0, so some of the examples break in 1.5, and a lot of them need to be re-written for 2.0. Besides the examples, it's the concepts that are very important, and provide the reader of what features are available in Flex, and how they work generally. Though at this point in time, I'd wait for a 2.0 book since architecturally a lot of things have changed fundamentally since 1.0. pixelgeek wrote: Maybe a potentially touchy subject considering the group mods but is the Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex book a worthwhile purchase now? I ask primarily because I am not able to get the sample app from Chapter 2 to run (or compile) and if the rest of the book has similar issues due to the changes to Flex and MXML (note: I don't see this as an issue with the authors or the book just a fact of life) I am not sure the point behind continuing to work through it. So are the rest of the samples in the book salvagable or has the language changed that much that I will run into similar issues through the rest of the book?

called twice. Eg open up your net connection debugger and see if a call
is being made twice, or on the result handler pop up an alert and see if
that alerts occurs twice, etc...
My guess is that is the case. And my super wild guess is that that
Canvas is being included in your app as a custom component twice.

Re: [flexcoders] How do I generate useful CFC Errors?
Ya I do something similar. All my cfc's extend a basic root CFC that contains a function that generates a common return structure which has the following elements: - Msg, a message for the user - isError, a flag indicating if an error occured or not. - returnStatus, a return code (eg OK, BADQUERY, etc...) So in your cfc you do something like: cfset stResult = returnStruct() cftry cfquery ... ... /cfquery cfcatch type=any cfset stResult.isError = true cfset stResult.returnStatus = BADQUERY cfset stResult.msg = CFCATCH.Detail /cfcatch /cftry cfreturn stResult Then in Flex on any WS or RO call if an error occured you can alert the user and do whatever you need to do. Mohanraj Jayaraman wrote: Most of my functions in the CFC return's an object (Struct) that has both the 'code' and 'message' apart from the other details you need. Here's an example cfcomponent .. cffunction name=getQuery hint= returntype=struct access=remote cfargument type=struct name=stData required=yes cfset var retStruct = StructNew() cfset retStruct['code']= 0 cfset retStruct['message'] = Message from Function getQuery: cftry cfquery name=qry_getqry datasource=#dsn# your query /cfquery cfset retStruct['dpCustomQuery'] = queryToArray(qry_getqry) cfset retStruct['code'] = 100 cfset retStruct['messaage'] = 'Custom query data retrieved successfully' cfcatch type=any cfset retStruct['message'] = Error Details : retStruct['message'] cfcatch.Message cfcatch.Detail /cfcatch /cftry cfreturn retStruct /cffunction /cfcomponent In your Flex code , you will always get 'code' and 'message' in your 'result' object and you can process your code based upon the 'code' you receive.

Re: [flexcoders] Error executing database querry
One of the practices I've been using in Flex development using CF is to
build a function test page that can be used to test functions in the
CFC's that your Flex app will be calling. This makes it easier when
debugging to verify if everything on the CF side is good and get the
detailed CF diagnostics when the function fails.
Though SQL wise there could be a lot of things that could cause the
stuff below to bomb. Eg if brand_id is an integer field the
'#arguments.brandToAdd.brand_id#' is trying to pass a string to that
field. Likewise with created_by, and modified_by.
Tracy Spratt wrote:
I don't do CF, but that error does not sound like it is related to flex.
Can you get your cfquery to display in a normal browser page? Or a cf
generated test page?

Re: [flexcoders] Pass array to CFC through Web Service
Well it looks like your function called remUpdateAssignments() has a
return type of boolean, and isn't returning one as such.
So I'm guessing your function signature looks something like:
cffunction name=remUpdateAssignments returnType=boolean ...
cfargument name=aAssignments type=array required=yes
/cffunction
And you're not cfreturning a boolean value.
Has anyone got this to work?
I have been on this forever and cannto figure it out...
I am creating an array of objects like this. The target is a row from
a datagrid being dragged onto another grid.
for(var i = 0; i event.target.dataProvider.length; i++){
aAssignments.push(event.target.dataProvider[i])
}
aAssignments looke like this in the network monitor:
Parameter 1:
name : aAssignments
type : anyType
value[array] :
length[Number] : 3
[0][object] :
NUMASSIGNMENTID[Number] : 2931
NUMLEVELOFEFFORT[Number] : 50
NUMPERSONNELID[Number] : 6
NUMPROJECTID[Number] : 1
TXTPROJECTNAME[String] : CPE
YNLEAD[Boolean] : true
[1][object] :
NUMASSIGNMENTID[Number] : 2933
NUMLEVELOFEFFORT[Number] : 1
NUMPERSONNELID[Number] : 6
NUMPROJECTID[Number] : 4
TXTPROJECTNAME[String] : Micromash
YNLEAD[Boolean] : true
[2][object] :
NUMASSIGNMENTID[Number] : 2932
NUMLEVELOFEFFORT[Number] : 50
NUMPERSONNELID[Number] : 121
NUMPROJECTID[Number] : 3
TXTPROJECTNAME[String] : Done Deals
YNLEAD[Boolean] : true
And my argument in my CFC looks like this:
cfargument name=aAssignments type=array required=yes
But I get this Axis error when I try to update the record:
soapenv:Faultfaultcodesoapenv:Server.userException/faultcodefaultstringcoldfusion.xml.rpc.CFCInvocationException:

Nice! The acquisition of Macromedia looks to have been a winner. In October, Macromedia's last quarterly results announcement as an independent company showed it was still growing strongly after the announcement of its acquisition: sales came in at $127.9 million, up 18%, and net income came to $20.3 million.

Re: [flexcoders] Themes (was TemplateMonster.com)
On the topic of themes... I never really looked into themes since that wasn't a priority. But was thinking it'd be great to start making an open library of themes for Flex2. Has anyone produced graphical skins or an entire theme that includes skins for Flex2? Has the process changed from 1.5 to 2? In 1.5 from my understanding you basically modified HaloTheme.fla and exported it to a swc.

Title: TemplateMonster.com I've bought templates from them before.

As far as I know they don't have anything that would be immediately plug and playable. But if you spend the time you can make your own skins / styles / etc... based on the package.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex prototype - production approach
I'll second the A approach. I'm a firm believer in the iterative development approach (sometimes called the prototyping model, lightweight methodology, etc...), as opposed to the waterfall approach (define, analyze, scope, design, build, test, implement, support). No matter how much planning and requirements gathering you do up front, if you put massive up front effort into your planning it's going to change once the end user gets their hand on something they can see. It's way better to incrementally in a cylical manner build, user eval, build, user eval, etc...So the final product will be exactly what the user wants. JesterXL wrote: Jesse Warden does A, Darron Schall does B (I would think). I like to build stuff quickly, ironing out the weird, diffucult things, and just continually kneed the mofo like dough, improving, and releaseing working builds to prove progress. Sometimes, you realize a re-write is best, and you can re-use some functions and assets, but not much (which is why I call it a re-write). Since Flash Flex make that sooo fast, you do that about 3 times. I've done B, but that sucks. I hate UML, as long as you have an awesome Information Architect, who cares; take the wireframes, and go; then iterate when you can show a build, and double-check your assumptions about both the wireframes the implementation. To me, B works in better in a team, and I've had success working with others, but the pressure at the forefront to "plan it perfectly" seems like I'm being setup to fail, and when the transition from prototype to production comes; it feels cheap because the code itself wasn't really a prototype; it was a planned production piece from the get go.

The only really big thing about A is deadline; you're emotional attachment to building re-usable code should be inversely proportional to the amount of time you have left.

[flexcoders] Processor Speed vs Video Card Speed
Hey guys. Has any testing been done, or does anyone know what will affect performance more: Processor Speed or Video Card speed? I'm at a new job (left eBay 3 weeks ago), the goal at the new gig is to re-engineer the application here (or at least make it way more usable). The application is for a high volume call center, and the business is completely dependent on this application. But because it's a call center, the PC's that the user uses are pretty old (I'm working on getting specs). So in terms of evaluation I'm scoping out what the options are in terms of h/w upgrade is; and if just a video card upgrade (vs replacing 400 PCs) could buy me some performance.

Has any testing been done, or does anyone know what will affect performance more: Processor Speed or Video Card speed? I'm at a new job (left eBay 3 weeks ago), the goal at the new gig is to re-engineer the application here (or at least make it way more usable). The application is for a high volume call center, and the business is completely dependent on this application. But because it's a call center, the PC's that the user uses are pretty old (I'm working on getting specs). So in terms of evaluation I'm scoping out what the options are in terms of h/w upgrade is; and if just a video card upgrade (vs replacing 400 PCs) could buy me some performance. Or, are Flash apps pretty much 90% dependent on processor power? Thx. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get Bzzzy! (real tools to help you find a job).

Re: [flexcoders] Flex2: pricing info
Well if your company wants to get serious about AJAX be prepared to blow some serious dough. Because you'll of course want to boost the productivity of your developers by using IDE's, tools, libaries, out of the box components, etc... E.g the TIBCO Ajax Accelerator/General Interface starts at $25K. http://www.tibco.com/mk/2005/ajax.jsp Dave Carabetta wrote: On 11/3/05, Aldo Bucchi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Daniel, Dave Dave, it might be in alpha, but it is still excelent leverage that can be used today. If a big client goes for an expensive Ajax framework for all 2006 then good bye to selling flex for a whole year. I don't want that to happen. I certainly understand that, but it's kind of tough to do a price comparison, in my opinion. Flex is, to an extent, a shrink-wrapped product with a known price tag. AJAX products aren't the result of using a product that has a price tag -- the true cost is in the development/debugging hours. Sure, there are AJAX libraries that certainly help out, but it's not really the same. Scott Barnes has some excellent blog entries (www.mossyblog.com, specifically http://www.mossyblog.com/archives/454.cfm) with some AJAX/DHTML vs. Flex development anecdotes, which I personally feel are more indicative of the true "cost" rather than looking at price tags.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Macromedia Labs site
I think there's a business opportunity to create a CF based Wiki; I've had to integrate a PHP one because there aren't any good CF based ones out there. But I just want to comment that for MACR to make one; the decision would be to divert resources. Frankly I'd rather see MACR focusing on their core products, as opposed to pulling CF guys off of CF8 to make a CF based wiki which would be totally sunk cost unless they plan to sell it as a product. Financially it wouldn't make sense. charlespaz1 wrote: I recognized it as MediaWiki, and I understand PHP is a great tool, I use it myself when the project calls for it. I have nothing against Macromedia using PHP if it is the right tool for the job.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex DataGrid with large recordset
I have always had list performance issues. Flash 8 helped a bit. But to
reproduce just change your datagrid tag to this:
mx:DataGrid creationComplete="event.target.dataProvider =
largeArray" height="100%"
The scroll will act chunky. Turn on variable height and column
wrapping, a few more columns, some that are cellrenderer based, and you
can easily get to a point where more than 200 records is unusable.

I don't know why you're facing problems with scrolling. The number of
records does not affect the scrolling performance for the list
controls (List, DataGrid, Tree, ...).
See this example:
?xml version="1.0"?
mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" xmlns="*"
initialize="populate()"
mx:Script
![CDATA[
public var largeArray = new Array(1);
public function populate():Void
{
for (var i:Number = 0; i largeArray.length; i++)
largeArray[i] = {foo: i, bar: 'a' + i};
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:DataGrid creationComplete="event.target.dataProvider = largeArray" /
/mx:Application
It scrolls without any issues on my machine. I increased the array
size from 10,000 to 1,000,000 (million), and, while the application
took a while to start up, once it did it worked like a charm.
Are you using custom cell renderers (not that it matters again)?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Server Alternatives
Well I don't know if I would venture to "dirt cheap". What other systems are you referring to? If you're enterprise, and building mission critical apps, and especially if it affects financial performance and need to be SOX compliant you're basic setup is: - 1 Development WS - 1 QA Server - High Availability Setup (at least 2 load balanced machines). - Disaster Recovery Site (min 1 web server). If you're using decent hardware with 4CPU Xeons, you've got 5 machines * 4 cpus/ea = 20 CPUs * $15K/cpu = $300 000. You would have to REALLY boost automation, workflow efficiency, etc... to recuperate the cost of Flex licensing and Flex application development (not everyone is Scott Barnes level super coder) vs a CF/Whatever based solution. Not to say that it can't be done, and I'm sure it can (reminder: I am a huge Flex proponent); but looking at things from a business sense it has to be measureable and provable. Eg I made one Flex app that compared to what was there before saves about $200K/yr, but how much more it would save over a CF based solution is hard to measure. So when trying to sell to management the sexy $300K Flex solution vs the not as sexy $15K CF solution which gets the job done - you have to account for at least a $285Kdifference. Because the opportunity cost is that $285K could have bought you 3 or 4 more developers for that year and double your development capacity which could have resulted in a bunch more apps that save or make money that aren't addressed for that year. Bla bla Bla... $300K is a TOUGH sell even for Enterprises with the deepest of pockets, and it can be done obviously, but 'dirt cheap' in my humble opinion is understanding it a we bit. :) Scott Barnes wrote: I've been absolutely [EMAIL PROTECTED] off with the price when it first hit us, that being said i've now truly seen what FLEX does in terms of cost savings in much larger "Enterprise Service" orientated systems, and i'm now retracting my position, simply put, FLEX is dirt cheap compared to some other systems being sold on the market today that have less capabilities. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

[flexcoders] Custom Component Instantiation Sequencing?
Hey all.
I'm not really sure what to accurately name the topic of this
relatively simple question - but I'll roll with Custom Component
Instantiation Sequencing.
- Got a Tab Navigator.
- I have a generic component I made which I use in various locations.
It generates a summary of some information depending on information
passed to it. On Initialize it takes a username and calls a remote
object to get back the appropriate data. This works fine when the main
mxml file calls it, but when a custom component calls it the Initialize
seems to occur before the databinding occurs.
The problem I'm having is related to the timing of how this component
is initialized.
This works fine:
mx:Canvas label="Canv1"/
comp:Summary id="s1" myUserName=""/
/mx:Canvas
mx:Canvas label="Canv2"/
comp:MyComp/
comp:Summary id="s2" myUserName="{someVar}"/
/mx:Canvas
S2 calls the remote object with the appropriate username, and gets back
the data...
This doesn't work fine:
mx:Canvas label="Canv1"/
comp:Summary id="s1" myUserName=""/
/mx:Canvas
mx:Canvas label="Canv2"/
comp:MyComp/ --- This component has comp:Summary
id="s2" myUserName="{someVar}"/ inside it
/mx:Canvas
What happens is that the remote object is called before myUserName is
set. myUserName in the S2 does get set appropriately, but not before
the RO is called - hence returning back the wrong data.
I tried playing around with creation policy settings, but no luck. Any
thoughts? thanks!

Using creationComplete instead of initialize did the trick. What threw

behavior changing when called from another component.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Easiest way to connect to mysql?
Well from a Coldfusion perspective... it's extremely easy. In the Coldfusion administrator you set up a Datasource to your mySQL Database. CF comes with a mySQL driver out of the box, all you do is give it a name (eg mySQLDS), server, port, username, pw, etc... then in CF you make a file called a CFC (Coldfusion Component), which is just a text file and looks something like this in a very basic sense: mycomponent.cfc cfcomponent cffunction name=getData returnType=query access=remote cfquery name=myQuery datasource=mySQLDS SELECT * from whatever /cfquery cfreturn myQuery /cffunction /cfcomponent Then in Flex... mx:RemoteObject ... source=mycomponent mx:Method name=getData . / /mx:RemoteObject And that cfc can also be a webservice as the same time just by basically switching mx:RemoteObject to mx:WebService.

[flexcoders] Solid Analysis of RIA Offerings...
Hey all, I'm receiving some upper management friction in terms of continuing to push Flex deeper into the Enterprise. I'm basically looking for a document anyone has written that makes a quantitative analysis of the various RIA offerings (most importantly Flex, Laszlo, and Ajax) and makes the business case (not the technical case) for Flex to give me a head start.

Re: [flexcoders] An interesting problem with models....
Hi Mika, thanks! That lead me down the right track. Your first
suggestion is basically the solution.
Thanks!
Mika Kiljunen wrote:
Perhaps you
should modify the values on
the model through the lists dataProviders editField or replaceItemAt,
since the changes made to the model directly wont be reflected to the

You could
set the lists dataprovider
once more after you modify the list directly, this might help too.
So something
like this:
mx:List
id=myList
dataProvider="{sectionModel.region}"
labelField="revenue"/
function
processCurrentItems()
{
myList.dataProvider.replaceItemAt(0,13);
myList.dataProvider.replaceItemAt(1,14);
myList.dataProvider.replaceItemAt(2,15);
myList.dataProvider.replaceItemAt(3,16);
}
OR
mx:List
id=myList
dataProvider="{sectionModel.region}"
labelField="revenue"/
function
processCurrentItems()
{
sectionModel.region[0].revenue = 13;
sectionModel.region[1].revenue = 14;

An
interesting problem with models
A model, remoteobject, and a list walk into a
bar, and the bartender
... j/k
I got a weird problem that I've narrowed
down into
a simple
reproduceable test case.
Got a simple model:
mx:Model
id="sectionModel"
region
revenue="1"/
region
revenue="2"/
region
revenue="3"/
region
revenue="4"/
/mx:Model
And I got a function that just hard code
updates
the values:
function processCurrentItems()
{
sectionModel.region[0].revenue = 13;
sectionModel.region[1].revenue = 14;
sectionModel.region[2].revenue =
15;
sectionModel.region[3].revenue = 16;
}
And then these two components displaying
data:
mx:List
dataProvider="{sectionModel.region}"
labelField="revenue"/
mx:Label
text="{sectionModel.region[0].revenue}"/
Now the list should show 13,14,15,16
after the
above function is called,
and it does if called from the
Application
initialize call. But, if it's
called as a result from a remoteObject
call, the
model is updated, but
the List doesn't the change, however the
Label
does.
Attached is a working sample.
It turns out the List is updating in the
remoteobject case, but the
display only updates if you move your
mouse over
each individual item.
Though why it works fine if the same
code is
executed as a result of an
initialize call is beyond me.
In the actual problem that I have -
instead of a
list I have a PieChart,
and its display does not update even
though the
model is updated (though
to complicate things the exact same code
works on
another machine).
Any ideas? Some caching thing?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Install on IIS
To follow that up, same here. I've done the CF6.1 and CF7 on numerous occasions and haven't had a problem (Win XP and Win2K Server, IIS5) . I followed the MM instructions exactly: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flex/1_5/flexforcf.html And works like a charm. As Rob notes, I am doing this under the non integrated CF (in CF7 the wizard calls this the Multiserver option I think). Is there anything special about your machine? Multiple network cards, multiple instances of IIS running, etc...? Are there any special filters or plug-ins running on your IIS? If it's possible to remote desktop into it I'd be willing to take a look. Rob Rusher wrote: RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Install on IIS If you just want to be able to have flex apps and ColdFusion apps on the same IIS server, you would install ColdFusion as J2EE option. This will create a JRun installation with a cfusion server. Run the WSConfig to set CF to a site on IIS. Then install Flex and deploy it as a separate app on the JRun server installed with CF. Again run the WSConfig, but this time set the Flex app to a different site on IIS. They have to be for different sites in IIS (unless you do the flex embedded in CF, I think). I just tested this on my server, so I pretty sure it works.

But if you look at what Outlook can do it's beyond grid in that you can have multiple adjacent items in a cell, and items can span multiple rows and columns (multiday events). So a DG + CellRenderers can get you basic version, but to go all out I think you'll need to create from scratch your own control/component. Douglas Knudsen wrote: have to build one of these outlook looking calendar things for a scheduling tool. The one day view needs 15 min intervals in time and ability to drag items to be scheduled onto it. I'm looking for suggestions on what component to build this off of as a base. Datagrid seems to be the path to take using custom cell renderors. Any suggestions? list, grid?? Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Flex and CFCs -- problems displaying recordsets in datagrids
The book in general has some best practices to pretty much everything. But your CF approach sounds good; we're in a similar situation in that we have a large knowledge management system built in CF - there will never be a plan to redo that in another language, and the flex stuff we build just adds onto the existing 'product'.

Since the application is allready very large and there are already thousands of programming hours put into the controller and model sections, I wanted to re-use as much of my CF code as possible. My idea is to call CFCs that will have a number of cfincludes, mimicking a fuseaction as close as possible. I realize this will lead to very tight dependency on CF, but I'm committed at this point.

Re: [flexcoders] Using Value Objects CFC's

Hi yo'll
I am using Remote Objects (definitely the way to go) with ColdFusion 7
(CFC). I have no problems passing strings to a CFC but can't seem to be able
to use Value Objects, is this possible?
Or put another way can a CFC argument be of the type Object? Using example
code from the Cairngorm login sample, this is the object I am passing to the
CFC.
LoginVO.as
import org.nevis.cairngorm.vo.ValueObject;
class com.company.product.vo.LoginVO implements ValueObject
{
public function toString() : String
{
var s : String = LoginVO[username=;
s += username;
s += , password=;
s += password;
s += , loginDate=;
s += loginDate;
s += ];
return s;
}
public static var registered:Boolean = Object.registerClass(
com.company.product.vo.LoginVO, LoginVO );
public var username : String;
public var password : String;
public var loginDate : Date;
}
- CFC
cfcomponent displayname=LoginService
cffunction name=login output=false access=remote
cfargument name=loginVO required=yes default=
!--- THIS DOESN'T WORK ---
cfset username = loginVO.username
/cffunction
/cfcomponent
Generates the following CF Error
Error Type: Expression
Message: You have attempted to dereference a scalar variable of type class
java.lang.String as a structure with members.

Something wrong with the way I am accessing the loginVO.username value? Do I
need to perform a deep copy of the object or something like that?
Any thoughts appreciated.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex and CFCs -- problems displaying recordsets in datagrids
Good stuff! - Well I don't know if there's really a standard with respect to CF to Flex communications. Certainly there are naming convention standards that I see being adopted from the Flash/Java development side of things, and having things returned in a non-predictable manner can cost you over time. So the question is whether to put the time up front, or later (eg hiring new guys w/o CF background that were expecting a field to be called firstName and it turns out to be FIRSTNAME). In general I would say stick to and enforce a convention that your team is comfortable with, and minimize dependency on assumptions of any particular platform (eg if you decide to switch from CF to Java sometime in the future). On the flipside we also create our external facing CFCs with no assumption that it's Flex communicating with it. - I would highly recommend the iteration::two book on rich internet applications which talks about patterns. As for invoking a result handler function vs direct assignment. I guess it depends. But in general as your apps get more complex you'll probably end up needing a result handler to do more than just assigning the results. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Tarik, Please ignore my previous messages. I was able to get it working. I misunderstood the capitalization advice. I had capitalized the entire field, when only the first letter needed to be. A couple of follow-up questions, if you don't mind: I see contrary advice on how to return data from CF. Some say through an array and others just take the recordset directly. Which would you consider best practice? I want to settle on a standard as I build out my first Flex app. In the RemoteObject tag, is it better to just pass the event to a function (i.e., fault="doFault(event)" result="doResult(event)") or through more implicit calls (i.e., fault="mx.controls.Alert.show(event.fault.faultstring) mx:method name="doResult" result="handleResult(event)"). Again, I'm just looking for a best practice I can standardize on.
