[flexcoders] Re: How can I have my class return an ArrayCollection?
If you are having problems with it giving you a null object before the
ResultEvent function is called then make a function that returns an empty
ArrayCollection if it is currently null.
Perhaps
function getServiceArray( ):ArrayCollection
{
if( this.serviceArray == null )
{
this.serviceArray = new ArrayCollection();
}
return this.serviceArray();
}
If that isn't what you are having problems with, perhaps more specificity could
help us help you.

[flexcoders] Re: protecting swc?
First of all, if you don't distribute the source code with your SWC file most people won't see it. You probably saw it because you have the library linked ( even if it was closed ) or the source files linked to the SWC build path. Secondly, SWC and SWF files can be easily decompiled using a tool like Buraks Actionscript Viewer. This however does not limit your rights as the creator of the code, it just means people can get to it. Most people won't though as they have better things to do and projects to get done. Some will though and it may or may not be worth the extra effort( think ROI ) to attempt to stop them. I think this is the reason that some companies offer to send the source as well ( but limit your priveleges with the source in the license ) for a premium over the price of just the component alone. This might be smarter. It gives people a legal way to get the source for your components so they can push your components past their initial design constraints while giving you more cash for your work. Ultimately the decision is up to you. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "ahmad_eldardiry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I forgot to mention that when I pressed the debug button, a dialogue > box showed with a "This file is not inside a project, many Flex > builder features will be disabled" message. > > Thank you. > > > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "ahmad_eldardiry" > wrote: > > > > I'm a flex beginner, and I'm making a flex component (.swc) and I want > > to sell it.

[flexcoders] Re: The end of ActionScript 3 as an EcmaScript 4 implementation
Now that I've had time to think about this, it seems like it could really be a good thing. Adobe chose to link itself to the ECMAscript4 standard and from many responses I've read it guided their decisions on whether or not to do things ( private constructors anyone? ). Perhaps now Actionscript can move in a new direction that allows some things that weren't going to be in the ES4 standard. Perhaps actionscript will link itself with some other future standard.

[flexcoders] Re: download files
While I don't believe there is a single method to do this, I think you could do this with an array of FileReference objects. Each time a file completes downloading go on to the next object in the array and download it. As to the usability of having someone select a save location for every file, not much you can do there. Another, more complicated option, is create a way for the server to dish up a zip file that all the files they want to download. Then you are only downloading one file and thus only have one save dialog. Other than that, you might need to find a solution completely outside of flash. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "dialogtmp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi! > I know I can use "fileRef.download" this method to download file in the > internet, but this method only can download a file at a time. > > If I want to download many files at a time, has any method can do that? > > > thanks, > dialogtmp >

I made a Flex App that is getting loaded into a flash movie. Unfortunately when the Flex App is loaded into the flash movie, some of the flash movie's mouse events don't work anymore. Most notably all of the one's to the right and bottom of the Flex movie. I've tracked it down to the mouseCatcher created by the SystemManager but I can't figure out what to do with that information.

[flexcoders] Re: General list consensus using 'this' when referencing local vars
The most important thing is to find a way of doing things and be
consistant. If you work for a company, it might be a good idea to
create a style guide for code in the company. Studies have actually
shown that consistantly formatted code makes it easier to
understand. So going back to code you wrote 6 months ago will be
easier to understand just by how it looks.
A great book that taught me a lot about code formatting
considerations, as well as a number of other things that don't get
talked about much in how-tos, is Code Complete by Steve McConnell.

[flexcoders] Re: AMFPHP with NetConnection or RemoteObject ?
When I first started working with AMFPHP 1.9 I was using NetConnection to connect to AMFPHP. It worked well for very simple object structures. As structures became more complex it started costing me more time. Once I started to learn the Cairngorm framework it gave me a reason to start learning about and using RemoteObjects. While the setup takes a little more time, it saves time in the long run. Since objects can come back from PHP as the proper type and not just "dumb" objects. So take a look at your project. If the server communication requirements are simple enough, using NetConnection might be the best answer. However, using RemoteObjects is probably best practice and should probably be used in most cases. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Mario Falomir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, which approach it is better for AMFPHP Flash Remoting, to use > flash.net.NetConnection or the Flex Framework RemoteObject component?

[flexcoders] Re: how to call a function in a popup parent?
Since it looks like MiniTextEditor is a custom component, you could make a public variable, or at least a public setter, inside your component so that a reference is available in your component. Then you would instantiate it like this: textPopUp = new MiniTextEditor(); textPopUp.creator = this; PopUpManager.addPopUp( textPopUp, this ); Then the variable should be available to you. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Derrick Anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hi, > > i create a popup like this from file A: > > textPopUp = > MiniTextEditor( > PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, MiniTextEditor)); > > in this case 'this' is file B: > > from my popup I am trying to call a function in file A, and since the parent > i pass to the popup is not actually the 'parent' - i can't figure out how to > reference a function in the actual parent. any ideas? > > d. >
[flexcoders] Re: Formatting and addchild with Actionscript
First of all, when you add a component via MXML there is a lot more going on. Check out the details on the liveDocs http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/ help.html?content=ascomponents_advanced_2.html#203434 Scroll down a bit and get to the "About the component instantiation life cycle" section. It will explain what happens and you can see what to do about getting your styles right. As for percents in the width and height parameters, there is actually a percentWidth and percentHeight parameter that you can use. MXML just does this step automagically. I hope this helps --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "netdeep" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I would like to add a chart to a panel and have it inherit the same style as its parent.

[flexcoders] Re: Ignoring folders _svn / .svn
Since Flexbuilder is built on eclipse you can follow the idea on this page: http://eric-blue.com/blog/2004/11/adding_navigator_filters_to_ec.html The difference is where you will find the filters on Flexbuilder standalone. For example the plugin.xml file I am looking for on a PC is here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\plugins\com.adobe.flexbuilder.standalone_3.0.194161 On a mac it should be similar, from the Flex Builder install directory. For the eclipse plugin version the folder should be similar to the one in the article. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, DannyT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Does anyone know how to set flexbuilder up to not display subversion folders > on OSX?

[flexcoders] Re: Use FileReference to get a directory rather than a file?
FileReference.browse is used to select a file( or files if you use FileReferenceList.browse ) that gets uploaded to the server. When you actually use the FileReference API to download something from the server, the normal window for your OS will come up asking you where you want to save it. I hope this helps. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Josh Santangelo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm working on an application which includes an option to let the user > select a directory to which files should be downloaded.

[flexcoders] Re: ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on copy/addNewLinkButton1(). Expected 0, got 1.
Your addNewLinkButton1 function is expecting a MouseEvent object.
So the function should look something like this:
public function addNewLinkButton1( event:MouseEvent ):void
{
Alert.show('Clicked');
}
The reason this is different than the addNewLinkButton function is
because of the way compiler generates actionscript from MXML. The
generated actionscript calls your addNewLinkButton
function from the Click listener function of the LinkButton object
created in the MXML.
Something like this:
linkButton0.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK,
linkButton0_click_listener );
function linkButton0_click_listener( event:MouseEvent ):void
{
this.addNewLinkButton();
}

[flexcoders] Re: Scaling a TextArea without reflowing the text
If you don't need interaction with the textfield as you magnify it,
you should be able to turn the textfield into a bitmap and just scale
the bitmap. Then you take text formatting out of the equation.

[flexcoders] Re: FileReference Upload Event.COMPLETE not firing

[flexcoders] Re: Bug in Proxy
This doesn't seem to be a bug to me, just looking at it from a
limited perspective.
Image a class that lookes like this:
class MyClass
{
public var go:Function;
public function MyClass( goFunc:Function )
{
this.go = goFunc;
}
}
In this case go is a property that happens to be a function object.
So what if using your proxy with another class you did something like
this:
var mo:MyOther = new MyOther();
var mp:MyProxy = new MyProxy();
mo.nextfunction = mp['go']; // could also be mp.go
In that case it would use getProperty and your description is no
different. When you use the [] operators it gets the property then
you use the () operators to call the property. The () property is
expecting a function object on the left hand side. The reason it
doesn't use callProperty is because the () operators only see a
function object but don't see it as part of the MyProxy object.
This doesn't mean it couldn't work as you expect in the future, but
my understanding says the two methods of getting to go are processed
distinctly for a reason.

[flexcoders] mx.utils.ArrayUtil missing in AS3 project
I don't know if this is because it is an AS3 project and not an MXML project but I'm running into this error when I try to use the ArrayUtil class: 1202: Access of undefined property ArrayUtil in package mx.utils. Is this class not available in an AS project? An really the code complete for that package is only finding 2 classes: NameUtil and StringUtil I can work around it but I'm worried about missing so much of the mx.utils class.
