RE: [flexcoders] Re: storing login data from a cfquery for use throught flex app
Have your login cfc return the user data if the user is verified, and assign
the properties of UserInfo in the result handler.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: how to call dynamic servlet
Why are you converting the e4x XML into the legacy XMLDocument? And if you
really are satisfied working with dynamic Object instead of XML, then use
resultFormat=object and skip all that decdoing stuff. Flex will do that
for you. But that is the worst of both worlds; you lose the power of e4x
and suffer the diminished access performance of a dynamic object.
I suggest you use XML and XMLListCollection instead.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 3 Tree - Moving Nodes
This has been a problem with Tree for as long as I can remember, that is, especially with empty nodes, how do you select it to drop into? Alex said, Open but empty folders have a middle drop zone for dropping into. I wonder how to recognize that zone when you are over it? The drag indicators are all lines, of different lengths, to show in a node or between nodes. Tree needs a block or bar highlight on the parent node itself, to indicate drop into here.

RE: [flexcoders] DropDown selectedIndex problem
Often when you programmatically assign a dataProvider to a control, you
need to wait for the control to render before operating on its visual

Hi Folks,
I'm currently working on a twitter AIR client using the twitterscript AS3
library and having some issues with bubbling custom events that are created
by nested classses back to the main application.
I've architected so that the main application (A) spawns a new timeline
window (B) for every twitter account a user may have. I have a Comm class
(C) i use as a DAO layer to decouple the twitterscript custom events from my
framework (in case i switch to a different as3 API library)
My custom event class looks like this
package com.kubeworks.events
{
import flash.events.Event;
public class TweetCommEvent extends Event
{
public static const TIMELINE_BACK:String = timelineBack;
public static const STATUS_BACK:String = statusBack;
public static const USER_INFO_BACK:String = userInfoBack;
public static const RATE_LIMIT_STATUS:String = rateLimitBack;
public var data : Object = new Object ();
public function TweetCommEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean=true,
cancelable:Boolean=false)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
override public function clone():Event {
return new PreferencePaneEvent(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
}
}
My Comm Class goes something like
package com.kubeworks.data
{
// Twitter API calls
import com.kubeworks.events.TweetCommEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.utils.*;
import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;
import twitter.api.Twitter;
import twitter.api.events.TwitterEvent;
public class TweetComm extends EventDispatcher
{
private var username:String;
private var password:String;
private var _twitterClient:Twitter;
// Constructor
public function TweetComm(usern:String, pass:String)
{
// Initialize Twitter Event Listeners
_twitterClient = new Twitter();
_twitterClient.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE,
twitterClientActivateHandler);
_twitterClient.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, twitterClientDeactivate);
_twitterClient.addEventListener(TwitterEvent.ON_FRIENDS_TIMELINE_RESULT,
twitterTimelineBack);
_twitterClient.addEventListener(TwitterEvent.ON_SET_STATUS,
twitterStatusBack);
_twitterClient.addEventListener(TwitterEvent.ON_SHOW_INFO, twitterUserBack);
_twitterClient.addEventListener(TwitterEvent.ON_RATE_LIMIT_STATUS,
twitterRateLimitBackHandler);
// Do stuff
setLogin(usern, pass);
setAuth();
}
and within that class i'm re-dispatching like:
private function twitterRateLimitBackHandler(event:TwitterEvent):void {
var eventObj:TweetCommEvent = new
TweetCommEvent(TweetCommEvent.RATE_LIMIT_STATUS, true);
eventObj.data = event.data;
dispatchEvent(eventObj);
trace(twitterRateLimitBackHandler);
trace(ObjectUtil.toString(event));
trace(twitterRateLimitBackHandler);
trace(ObjectUtil.toString(eventObj));
}
I've set the bubbling to true. However in my main application this
EventListener never fires
systemManager.addEventListener(TweetCommEvent.RATE_LIMIT_STATUS,
onRateLimitHandler);
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i am out ideas and have exausted
google and my flex friends.
Thanks,

RE: [flexcoders] how to call dynamic servlet
That should work, I use dynamic urls with HTTPService regularly. One
suggestion, don't use binding. Instead, in the function where you invoke
service.send(), set the url there.
Additionally, unless you have a very special use case, you do not want
resultFormat=xml, you want resultFormat=e4x. xml is the old AS
object, and lacks most of the functionality available in e4x.

Hello all
I'd really appreciate your help on this.
I have a itemEditor in my datagrid (see attached code).. this is a dragdrop
text input... I drag words inside and it concatenates them to a comma
separated string...
I've embedded it in the grid like that:
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Prevent ctx dataField=@prevent_ctxs
rendererIsEditor=true width=200
itemRenderer=CtxTI editable=true/
The problem is that the grid does not sense the itemBegin/itemEnd events
when I drag things inside..
and therefore does not activate the editor/automatically pull the data of
the itemEditor and puts it into the grid..
Can anyone figure a way to correct/around this?
Thanks in advance

The other 50% of the time the dataGrid wont accept user interaction in the bottom right area (the bottom 3 (of 6) rows, right 2 (of 4) columns). i.e. that part of the grid does not react to mouse over events, not mouse click events. Sometimes is reacts to click events as if they are occurring in the row in which a mouse_over interaction was last observed. Looking at the redraw regions, I see that a redraw region occasionally appears in the bottom right of the grid - exactly where he grid is not receiving user input. So that is probably related.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: dragdrop inside itemEditor in dataGrid...a tricky question
Yes, leave off renderIseditor=true.
Your renderer will know which item it is currently associated with, since
that reference gets passed into the renderer any time the underlying data
changes in the set data() function. Further, if the renderer implements the
IDropInListItemrrenderer interface, you will als have access to the listData
and thus dataProvider, should you need to get the itemIndex using
getItemIndex.

Subject: [flexcoders] dragdrop inside itemEditor in dataGrid...a tricky
question
Hello all
I'd really appreciate your help on this.
I have a itemEditor in my datagrid (see attached code).. this is a
dragdrop
text input... I drag words inside and it concatenates them to a comma
separated string...
I've embedded it in the grid like that:
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Prevent ctx dataField=@prevent_ctxs
rendererIsEditor=true width=200
itemRenderer=CtxTI editable=true/
The problem is that the grid does not sense the itemBegin/itemEnd events
when I drag things inside..
and therefore does not activate the editor/automatically pull the data
of
the itemEditor and puts it into the grid..
Can anyone figure a way to correct/around this?
Thanks in advance

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Timers and local CPU
That was going to be my suggestion. The main thing that makes an itemRendrer heavy or expensive is basing it on a container, like VBox, instead of on UIComponent.. Yours looks good. And I think maybe I would store the start time and calculate the elapsed time, rather than incrementing the elapsed time on each timer tick. It might be a little more accurate, and would let you adjust the timer interval. You might find that 2 or 3 seconds is a short enough interval, and would lower the cpu load quite a bit.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: hiding an applicationcontrolbar button
Yes, the content of the toggleButtonBar will be determined entirely by its
dataProvider. If you want to change the content of the button
Bar, you must change its dataprovider.
One way to do this is to add/remove the viewstack children.
But this process has always seemed unnecessarily difficult, just to change
the visibility/availability or a button, so I never use a viewStack as a
dataProvider for anything that needs to be dynamically controlled.
Instead, I use a separate dataProvider, for the control bar, which contains
the index into the viewStack, and manipulate that dataProvider to control
the available buttons. A click on a button uses the index in the
dataProvider to set the selectedIndex of the ViewStack.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Web service, parameters, errors... Help please
First and foremost, we must know: what is the name of the operation/method
of the web service, and what are the parameters names and datatypes. I am
not good enough at reading wsdls to offer to analyze yours, but you can
probably figure it out, or find some documentation.
For instance, where did you come up with the string,
'Find__CompIntfc__DL_TREE_IB_CI?
Next, decide whether you want to do the whole thing in AS or not. I often
declare the web service in mxml, then manipulate it in AS.
No, new GetInfo() would not be correct. Declaring the WebService in
mxml, or calling loadWSDL automatically makes the operations/methods
available to the web service instance, no need to new.
Here is a simple example that might help:

The above line won't work; it gets the error message about

The example you are quoting, which passes values from one fully instantiated application to another is not using flashvars. Maybe the title of that post is misleading, but it does say flashvar-*style*-parameters., meaning a dynamic Object. Note also that apps loaded by swfloader do behave differently than ordinary components, in this regard.

In my googling, I found the link I referred to (in particular answer 2): http://stackoverflo http://stackoverflow.com/questions/407858/passing-flashvars-style-parameter s-to-a-loaded-swf w.com/questions/407858/passing-flashvars-style-parameters-to-a-loaded-swf But the sample code presented at the above link listens for an application completed event from the loaded app before setting any parameters, and it doesn't show how/when the embedded application reads the parameters. So, while I have a more type-safe technique as presented by Amy, I'm left wondering if there is a way to make a host application present the same context to the embedded app that SWFObject does when the host application is HTML. If you have successfully used flashvars *and* read them in a creationComplete handler I'd love to know how you did it. Presumably you set the flashvars earlier than the example I linked to above did.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Modules Communication
If you don't want to set up a full blown communication manager, you could do this: 1) dispatch a *bubbling* event from your source module 2) Set up a listener at the main application on this (this.addEventListener.) 3) Have the handler for that listener re-dispatch the event 4) In your target module, set a listener on Application.application.addEventListener However, setting up a singleton data model would be almost as simple.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Modules Communication
I'm not sure, maybe since modules are independent swf's, but that is way
more complicated than necessary.
Look into the singleton data model. In such a case, you would do:
1. in the source module, MyModel.getInstance().id = myTextInput.text;
2. In the target module, text={ MyModel.getInstance().id }
3. Or use a changeWatcher if you need to take programmatic action when
id changes

Yes, that's what Amy's example does, and since I do control both apps, it
seems that's probably the way to go.
Nevertheless, I am curious, because
a) there must be many apps one would like to embed that do something at
startup that depends on a flashVar
b) the literature on sub apps vs modules says that modules are used when
there is shared code (though a single interface is not much shared code)
c) Tracy said the StackOverflow technique worked for him
So let me pose a question. If one does have such an application and it can't
be modified, is it possible to write a host application that will allow it
to load?

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Sending POST requests to php script??Help
I CAN access the flex object at run-time. And it need not be bindable.
For example:
Alert.show(modelName.name.first,title=modelName.name.first Value);
Correctly displays the modelName.name.first value. However, when I
access the same object in the HTTPService request, I can not access
the objects value. I don't know what the problem is.
This problem is driving me nuts.

RE: [flexcoders] redundancy in custom ItemRenderer
Why do you think the renderer's commitProperties is being called more than
once for a single item? Your trace statements do not identify the item.
You understand that there is no direct relationship between the number of
items and the number of renderer instances? The number of instances depends
on the number of visible rows, plus a few for buffering.
And are you just curious? The specific renderer instantiation behavior is
normally not of concern to a developer, but such concern sometimes
indicates misuse.

Subject: [flexcoders] redundancy in custom ItemRenderer
another question about ItemRenderers, using my previous stock example.
i have noticed that my custom item renderer seems to be performing
redundant executions. for a single dataProvider item, i see two
renderer instances created. and for each instance, set data and
commitProperties() are called repeatedly.
here's my code:
StockApp.mxml
===
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe. http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
com/2006/mxml

mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
import mx.controls.HorizontalList;
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
import mx.core.ClassFactory;
protected var list:HorizontalList;
protected var provider:ArrayCollection;
protected function applicationCompleteListener (e:FlexEvent):void {
// Provider
provider = new ArrayCollection();
provider.addItem({stockInfo:new StockInfo()});
// UI
list = new HorizontalList();
list.width = 400;
list.height = 100;
list.dataProvider = provider;
list.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(StockInfoRenderer);
addChild(list);
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:Application
===
StockInfoRenderer.as
===
package {
import mx.containers.Canvas;
import mx.controls.Button;
public class StockInfoRenderer extends Canvas {
protected var button:Button;
public function StockInfoRenderer () {
trace(StockInfoRenderer CONSTRUCTOR CALLED.);
}
override protected function createChildren ():void {
trace(StockInfoRenderer CREATE CHILDREN CALLED.);
super.createChildren();
if (button == null) {
button = new Button();
button.width = 100;
}
addChild(button);
}
override protected function commitProperties ():void {
trace(StockInfoRenderer COMMIT PROPERTIES CALLED.);
super.commitProperties();
button.label = data.stockInfo.getPrice();
}
override public function set data (value:Object):void {
trace(StockInfoRenderer SET DATA CALLED.);
super.data = value;
invalidateProperties()
}
}
}
===
OUTPUT:
===
StockInfoRenderer CONSTRUCTOR CALLED.
StockInfoRenderer CREATE CHILDREN CALLED.
StockInfoRenderer SET DATA CALLED.
StockInfoRenderer COMMIT PROPERTIES CALLED.
StockInfoRenderer SET DATA CALLED.
StockInfoRenderer COMMIT PROPERTIES CALLED.
StockInfoRenderer CONSTRUCTOR CALLED.
StockInfoRenderer SET DATA CALLED.
StockInfoRenderer CREATE CHILDREN CALLED.
StockInfoRenderer COMMIT PROPERTIES CALLED.

is the preceding redundancy typical, or am i doing something wrong?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Sending POST requests to php script??Help
Yes, building the request object declaratively and binding in the values is
very hard to debug.
Build the request object in AS, so you can inspect the values you are
sending. You also will not need to depend on bindable properties.

Well, I believe the syntax is correct, at least!
The warnings are telling you something, in a way, which is that unless your
objects properties are bindable flex won't be able to detect changes in them
at runtime.
Hence it won't work if as you might expect you want to specify the request
in mxml like that.
It's just the way flex works, I found it a little hard to get used to at
first.
You might have better results if you call an actionscript function to set
the request object instead.

RE: [flexcoders] updating an item renderer
The core concepts are that item renderers need to update their visual UI
elements when the associated item changes, and need to update that item on
user interaction.
You assign a dataProvider(StockInfo) to the List, which results in item
renderers being instantiated. Note, do not use an Array as a dataProvider,
use ArrayCollection.
When the underlying item changes, the framework calls the renderer's set
data method(setter). When any pending changes are done, the framework calls
commitProperties.
You need to use this mechanism because there is no assurance that there will
be an instance of any particular renderer to listen of an event. Renderers
are recycled. Google that before you go any further.

Subject: [flexcoders] updating an item renderer
hi list, first post...
i have an architectural question about datatproviders and
itemrenderers that i'll pose with a canonical example.
suppose i have an array of StockInfo objects that is populated by a
3rd party library. each StockInfo object dispatches UPDATE events when
a stock price changes. i want to render the prices in HorizontalList
with a custom renderer.
here's the general application shell:
=
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe. http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
com/2006/mxml
layout=absolute
applicationComplete=applicationCompleteListener(event)
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.controls.HorizontalList;
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
import mx.core.ClassFactory;
protected var list:HorizontalList;
protected var stocks:Array;
protected function applicationCompleteListener (e:FlexEvent):void {
// Stock data (hardcoded for the example)
stocks = [new StockInfo()];
// UI
list = new HorizontalList();
list.width = 400;
list.height = 100;
list.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(StockInfoRenderer);
addChild(list);
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:Application
=
i need to wire the stocks array to the list. of course, given that i
already have an array of StockInfo objects, it's tempting to make an
ArrayCollection wrapper that gives direct access to the StockInfo
objects. e.g.,
provider = new ArrayCollection();
provider.addItem({stockInfo:someStockInfoObject});
then the StockInfoRenderer could register for UPDATE events and redraw
when the event occurs. but i'm hesitant about that approach. if i went
that route,
1) within the StockInfoRenderer, where would i register for the UPDATE
event? in commitProperties()?
2) within the StockInfoRenderer, where would i *remove* the UPDATE
listener?
3) given that renderers are reused, are there issues with synching, or
with stranded listeners causing memory build-up?
more generally, what's the right way to wire my list to the stocks
array? it feels like i might be forced to handle UPDATE for each
StockInfo object, and write a 'price' variable into a data provider.
e.g.,
provider.getItemAt(i).price = value;
provider.itemUpdated(provider.getItemAt(i), price);
seems a shame, given that i already have an array of StockInfo
objects. the above two lines presuppose that i'm going to hunt for the
item index every time a stock price changes. : (
another general question, do i even need the itemUpdate() call, or is
that part automated?
thanks for any advice!

basically what i want to do is read each line and when I hit certain
values, read on for 4 or 5 records, then return to the original
process without starting back at the last record read at the first

Hi there,
I've written a code behind that manages a ViewStack and a TabBar (it's almost
like a
PureMVC mediator without actually being a mediator). The ViewStack is the
dataprovider of
the TabBar.
When I try to test this I get the problem that the dataprovider is always null.
I've attached
the Flex source code and put it in debug mode and I've noticed it jumps to the
setTargetViewStack method of NavBar:
private function setTargetViewStack(
newStack:Object /* can be String or ViewStack */):void
{
// If this property is set at creation time, the target view stack
// may not exist yet. In this case, we just save off the requested
// target stack and set it later.
if (!measurementHasBeenCalled newStack)
{
pendingTargetStack = newStack;
invalidateProperties();
}
else
{
_setTargetViewStack(newStack);
}
}
Measurement hasn't been called so my dataProvider is null (well, pending). Is
there any
way to force this? It's making it really really difficult to do a test!
Thanks in advance!

The obvious solution is to run a conditional that appends a variable and

public function processFilters(item: Object):Boolean {

Subject: [flexcoders] Relative Layout Question
Hi all,
I have a question about using creative relatively-sized layouts:
The default behavior
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/containers/Panel.html
of many containers is to use adopt a height just large enough to fit all
of it's children content. Manually specifying a relative height (e.g.
25%) for the container will work, but only if the content is small
enough. Otherwise the height is increased to fit the content.
e.g.
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=vertical width=600 height=600
mx:Panel height=75%
mx:Text text=This panel should take up 75% of the
application's height /
/mx:Panel
mx:Panel height=25%
mx:Accordion
mx:Form
mx:Text text=Item 1 /
mx:Text text=Item 2 /
mx:Text text=Item 3 /
mx:Text text=Item 4 /
/mx:Form
mx:Form
mx:Text text=etc /
/mx:Form
/mx:Accordion
/mx:Panel
/mx:Application
Instead of taking up 25% of the application height the bottom panel will
expand to fit the accordion (which in turn has a height equal to the
amount of space used up by it's larged child).
Is there anyway I can force the panel to only expand to 25% of the main
application's height? I can set an absolute height the panel's children
which will assure a maximum height, but I would like to be able to use a
relative height.
Any ideas? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2009 10:35:04 -0800
Suppose I have a class Calendar that mirrors a server-side class (we're
not really working with Calendars, but I think this is a reasonably good
and simple analogy):
class Calendar {
public var appointments:ArrayCollection;
/* other stuff */
}
Then I want users to be able to edit and save the Calendar: I have a
CalendarEditor. Editing a Calendar is moderately complicated (e.g.,
adding, removing, or editing Appointments), so I want explicit
save/cancel steps.
When editing something really simple, this is not really a problem--when
the user saves, I propagate the view state to the object; when she hits
cancel, I don't do anything.
However, the Calendar determines what combination of Appointments is
valid (they can't overlap), and the Calendar is the dataProvider of the
CalendarEditor, so I can't fully validate a combination of Appointments
without adding them to the Calendar. This means I actually need to add
the appointments to the Calendar before it is saved so that they can be
(a) validated in combination and (b) used to update the view while the
edit is in progress. This makes save/cancel steps trickier: do I
(1) Clone the Calendar (and therefore have it provide a clone() method)
when assigned in the dataProvider, modify the clone, and assign the
dataProvider reference when the user hits save.
(2) Clone the Calendar as above, but have the Editor modify the
original, and restore the clone in case the user cancels.
(3) Something more clever?
The problem with (1) is that cloning may be somewhat complicated, and it
feels ugly to have the Editor update the dataProvider reference
(instead of modifying the actual object that was set as the data
provider). (2) hits the same issue. Perhaps the solution is to maintain
a private clone, and copy back the state on save? Or is the right answer
here that the model should not expect that the editor will update the
object it set as the dataProvider, but should instead expect an update
through a mechanism like a Mate map?
Any thoughts? (Please keep in mind that my experience with MVC
frameworks is unfortunately minimal, though I'm looking into Mate right
now).
Thanks,

Thanks Tracey - yes I am doing that as well.

retrieve the item index, even though I can see that the object is
there, I am getting an index of -1. Is there something wrong with

The collections are independent.
When my app starts up I have an XML variable that gets split into 2
seperate lists.
So for example:
var myList:XML
I then split the lists into 2 like so:
for each(var x:XML in myList){
if(x.Status == UnApproved)
unApproved.addItem(x.copy());
else if(x.Status == Approved)
approvedList.addItem(x.copy());
}
I used the .copy() method to ensure that this isn't tied back to the
original XML by reference.

I am having all sorts of problems with removing items from an
XMLListCollection. Not sure if this is because the dataBinding is
preventing the items from being removed or not - I'm hoping
someone
who has run into this issue as well can give me some insight.
I have 2 XMLListCollections, each 1 is bound to a seperate
DataGrid.
There is an approvedItemList bound to dgApproved, and an
unApprovedList bound to dgUnApproved.
Sometimes, I want to remove an object from the 1 list, and then
add
it
to the other list. (I am using Cairngorm by the way)
For example, I want to take an item in the unApprovedList and add
it
to the ApprovedList. So first I would add the object to the
ApprovedList, and then get the Index of the object in the
UnApprovedList and use RemoveAt like so:
approvedList.addItem(myObject);
var index:int = unApprovedItemList.getItemIndex(myObject);
unApprovedList.removeAt(index);
I am looking at the collections in the watch window, and I can see
that when the .removeAt fires, the object is still left in the
unApprovedList! Why is this happening?
I then attempted to remove the item this way as a workaround:
approvedList.addItem(myObject);
var index:int = 0;
for each(var o:Object in unApprovedList){
if(o.Id == myObject.Id.toString()){
delete o[index];
break

The main point of my question is that it seems that, applying your example, myTree is not an array of several objects (demonstrated with my example) as I would have thought - that is the problem with my code I'm trying to figure out. In your example, I would think myTree be an array with a length of 5 (since the DP is 5 in length) - each object in the array being an Image (or in your example, an instance of your custom component). But as my example shows, it's length is 1. Best practices aside, from a pure coding perspective (bad as it may be), why does my _images array have a length of 1 instead of 5 like the DP?
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Repeaters and Referencing Component IDs
I'd have to test it to know for sure, but I was just theorizing on why you were not able to access the id array for the image. I could further theorize that the image tag, being a child of the repeated container, is treated differently by Repeater than the container, but that is theorizing to support a theory that I do not even know is correct.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: parse SOAP response for values
Unless your xml is very simple, you should not guess at the e4x
expession, but rather work your way to the node you want by using
temporary variables and tracing the results as you go.
To do this you must use a resultHandler, and do not use lastResult.
Start with something like:
private function handleResult(event:ResultEvent):void
var xmlResult:XML = XML(event.result)
trace(xmlResult.toXMLString()); //CRITICAL step, verify your structure
Then get the next node in the path you want, trace again, etc.

Next step I'm not sure about the path to the attribute.
WS.Assess.lastResult.typ::session-data.global.global_1.abc570.
WS.Assess.lastResult.typ::assess-response.session-data.list-entity.entit

Subject: [flexcoders] Help with Timer issue
Hello all,
I'm a Flex newbie. I'm working on an application where an end user
clicks a button, and when the button is clicked a DB is queried
repeatedly until a particular result is returned. When the result is
returned the end user gets a confirmation message to tell them that
they were successful.
So the code goes like this:
private var dBTimer:Timer = new Timer(5000);
private function onButtonClick(): void{
dBTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timeTick);
dBTimer.start();
}
public function timeTick(evt:TimerEvent):void {
checkStatus(callBackFunction, id);
}
private function callBackFunction():void
{
if( status == 'SUCCESS' )
{
// cancel the timer
dBTimer.stop();
dBTimer.reset();
Alert.show(Succcess string,Info,OK,null,null,INFO_ICON);
}else{
//do nothing and the checkStatus
//will be called again at next TimerEvent
}
}
So the first time the end user clicks on the button, everything works
okay. The DB is queried and when SUCCESS is returned the dBTimer is
stopped and reset. The end user gets the Success Alert dialog box and
everything is okay.
The second time the end user clicks the button, everything happens the
same as before, only the dbTimer, despite being stopped doesn't stop
working. checkStatus is called over and over again in an infinite loop
because the dbTimer never stops.
Can anyone suggest anything please ? I am really puzzled by this one.
Best Regards,
Trish.

RE: [flexcoders] ImageSnapshot sandbox problem
Hey, Guy. You can read up on the rationale for all this security crap if you really want to know. Adobe has whitepapers out the wazoo. I say apply the death penalty to the jerks who make it necessary. Proxy servers are not specific Flex/Flash technologies, but rather depend on the server platform/language I saw a php one recently, and probably google would reveal examples for other platforms. I just tried google and was dissappointed not to find more examples readily. Lots of references to proxies, but few concrete examples.

My linkButtons are now created with actionScript (addChild).
I set their IDs before adding them to their parent.
My action script also fills up my Array of linkButton IDs called
buttons.
[Bindable]
private var buttons:Array = new Array();

My trace properly returns all the IDs of my buttons but I get the

It's like I don't have access to the ID of my linkButtons because they

Works great. Now I want to display many of these charts in a single interface. The idea is to have 3 or so of these charts in a horizontal line say C1, C2, C3. At a time interval or a click event from the user, I'd like to shift C1 off screen to the left, Shift C2 to C1's former location, C3 to C2's former location and finally add C4 to C3's former location. (and the reverse if the user clicks the to the right). I'm open to doing this with JavaScript/HTML or inside another FLEX application. I thought I saw a demo (with source) once that had something similar where each picture in a gallery was a flash movie and you could walk through the gallery.

I'm new to flex programming so I apologize if this something I should just know how to do. (pointers on where to learn that, appreciated as well.) Thanks in advance for any help or pointers. Todd

RE: [flexcoders] Re: filter arraycollection with checkbox acting wired
I think I suggested already that you just need to debug this. Find an item that does not filter as you expect, step through the code til you hit that item, then step through the code to see why the filter function is not returning the expected value. It will almost certainly be obvious. For us to help, we need to do that process a a thought experiment. It will be much easier for you do do it in the debugger.

I have a series of 3 linkButtons.
I am able to switch the styleName of a linkButton when I click on it
as follows:

private var linkButton:String = 'linkButton';
[Bindable]
private var linkButtonOff:String = 'linkButtonOff';

How can I automatically reset all the other linkButtons styleNames

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Events and Child SWFs
...listener in the same component that dispatches the event... No, not
quite. When you do Component.addEventListener(), you are telling the
current component to listen to Component for an event and run a method.
The declaration happens where you have the handler method, but you call
addListener using a reference to the component dispatching the event.
To set a listener for a non-bubbling event, you must have a reference to
the dispatching object.
For bubbling events, you only need to have a reference to some component
in the dispatching conponent's parent chain. Application.application is
at the top, except for Popups. Then SystemManager is the top.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Events and Child SWFs
Hi Tracy,
Thanks for responding.
Here is my understanding:
1) The idea behind events and event listeners is that you can dispatch
an event anywhere in the app and listen for it anywhere else in the
app, assuming that bubbling is set correctly, and/or that you've used
Application.application.addEventListener() or
SystemManager.addEventListener(). What you're saying, then, is that
the preferred way to accomplish this is by having the listener in the
same component that dispatches the event, and have it call a method
that is in the second component. But you *could* just have the
listener in the second component, right?
2) Then, to do it as you suggest, the issue becomes how to reference
the second component from the first.
I've got the main app with a popup that holds the delete button. Since
the child swf is not loaded there, I'm not sure how to refer to it.
Elsewhere in the main app we load the swf with a load function:
load(url)
Inside the load() function are:
_loader = new SWFLoader();
...
_loader.addEventListener(complete, onChildLoaded );
_loader.load( url );
addChild( _loader );
So perhaps I could add the eventlistener there. I also think (correct
me if I'm wrong) that I need to refer to the loader's content, not the
loader itself. So the syntax would be:
_loader.content.addEventListener(inDeleteMode,
_loader.content.deleteModeHandler);
Do I have this right or am I completely confused? :)
Thanks,
David

default resultFormat. E4x is good!), but it is a bit odd. You are
manually building an ArrayCollection of XML nodes.
I don't see any reason to do that. Just use XMLListCollection, and
avoid the loop.
Now, best practice, or at least this list's apparent consensus of best
practice, is to do what you are doing, but instead of adding xml nodes,
you populate a strongly data typed Value Object and add tht to the
ArrayCollection. This is probably the most efficient and performant
approach.
But I mostly use XML and XMLListCollection.

Hi Tracy, this is how I get the XML info into an ArrayCollection:
mx:HTTPService url=days.php useProxy=false method=POST id=Days
resultFormat=e4x result=get_days(event)
private function get_days(event:ResultEvent):void
{
Arraydays.removeAll();
XMLdays = event.result as XML;
for each(var ourxml:XML in XMLdays.elements())
Arraydays.addItem(ourxml);
}
Is this ok?
Thanks

I suggest using e4x expressions against the XML, and then putting the
result in an XMLListCollection.
var xlResults:XMLList = xmlData.result. (attribute(id) == 1);
trace(xlResults. toXMLString( )); //to verify your data
xlcResults = new XMLListCollection( xlResults) ;
You did not say how you got your XML into an ArrayCollection, but I
suspect it is not the good way.

Humm, you have to make a filterFunction, like this:
private function filterFucntion( item:Object) :Boolean
{
return item.id http://item.id/ == 1;
}

How can I use this as a dataprovider but only using the values in

My arraycollection var is Arraydays.
I tried {Arraydays.( @id=='2')} but it gave me an error: Error #1123:
Filter operator...
Thanks.
RE: [flexcoders] Logic in dataProvider
Yes, you use an e4x expression to return an XMLList. A common issue with attributes is that the @attrName syntax will error if ALL of the nodes do not have that attribute. Instead use attribute(attrName). So for your expression, it might be something like: var xlNodes:XMLList = xmlData.node.(attribute(this).length() 0 || attribute(that).length() 0) Tracy Spratt Lariat Services Flex development bandwidth available From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of sandi.pond Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 11:18 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Logic in dataProvider Hello all, I'm new to Flex and so full of questions ... Is there a way to use logic to determine a dataProvider for a list? By that I mean, I have 2 attributes in my XML nodes and one will always contain a value and the other will always not. For example, node this= that / And my XMLList may contain several nodes: node this=value / node thatanothervalue / node this=andanother / And then I have an mx:List that I'd like to display the attribute that has a value - either this or that. I've tried using the || statement but no luck yet. Thank you in advance.
