[flexcoders] Version Recommendation for New Project

[DJ]

I'm about to start working on a small to medium Flex project again, 
after working exclusively on backend type work for the last 10 months. 
I'm working on catching up with changes, new amazing libraries, etc.

I'm a bit concerned about starting development on the wrong version, 
given that Flex 4 is just around the corner. I was hoping to get a fresh 
perspective. Here are some characteristics of my project:

- Dashboard in nature. I might need to tap into libraries like ILog 
Elixir, FusionCharts and/or Axiis
- Rough initial estimate is to release a functional beta 3 months from 
now (around Jan/Feb 2010)
- CF 8 backend (probably won't be upgrading to v9 for a long time)

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

[flexcoders] headerRenderer with combobox - problem with events

[dj]

Hello,

I have a custom headerRenderer with a combo box, the combo box loads
data by week, day or month into my datagrid.  Unfortunately, clicking
on an item in the box automatically loads items into the dataGrid
which was last selected, how do I prevent this from happening?  Why
does clicking on a combobox in my header renderer dispatch events to
the datagrid?

Any ideas on how to help me?

Thanks,

[dj]

Hi it's me again,

I have a custom item Renderer for my header of my datagrid with a
combo box.  When I click on the combo box, the dataGrid is receiving
the click event for an item that is highlighted.  How do I prevent
this from happening?  

Why does clicking on the combo box trigger an event in the datagrid
anyhow?  Is where you have to capture the event?  How to do this
easily please.

RE: [flexcoders] AMFPHP / databinding nested arrays

[dj]

The way you constructed your array might come out like this, but not
sure, looks a little crazy…


myResultObject[0].day.mon.start.100.end.300


Nested Arrays return into Flex as objects.  I haven’t tried nesting
an array as complicated as this, I guess it’s doable – but it
might be better to reorganize your array structure .  I think it will
be easier to read than a big old nested array constructor than in php
if you use the following example, and this is how I do it.


?
$my_array = array();
$my_array[0]['days'] =$some array
$my_array[0]['starts'] =$some_other_array
Return $my_array;
?


//in flex your result arrays work like this...

Var someArray:Array  = myResultObject[0].days
Var someOtherArray:Array  = myResultObject[0].starts


Then you can get your values and organize your arrays which ever way
you like.

Hope this Helps

Subject: [flexcoders] AMFPHP / databinding nested arrays

Hi there,

I guess this is a typical newbie question,  maybe someone could
kindly direct me to a tutorial or sample:

I try to bind e.g. using a charts control to a nested array I receive
from an AMFPHP service.
On the php side I have as an example:
$outputArr[] = array('day' = 'Mon', array('start' = '100', 'end' =
'300'));
$outputArr[] = array('day' = 'Tue', array('start' = '250', 'end' =
'600'));
$outputArr[] = array('day' = 'Wed', array('start' = '500', 'end' =
'600'));
return $outputArr;
..which will deliver the data correctly as I can see from the flex
debugger.

In flex I have eg.:
mx:series
mx:ColumnSeries xField=day yField=??? /
/mx:series
Now, how do I access e.g. the value 'start' to use it for
databinding? Well, 'day.start' does not do the trick : )

I had similar probs using XML for binding, where I wouldnt be able to
access sub-children?
Do I have to somehow wrap the server response into an actionscript
object which I'd have to manually add properties to?

Any hint greatly appreciated!!

[flexcoders] EventDispatching - need a little help with this one

[Patrick DJ Flex List Account]

I'm using bubbling, or at least i think i am to capture an event... I've 
extended the event class to make my own event mechanism.  the events are being 
dispatched, however the problem is, that 
I'm adding an event listener to my custom mxml component to receive the events 
and nothing happens.  I've probably got something backwards...   Doesn't 
bubbling set to true allow the event
to be captured by any component in the order that they are created?


my code is as follows:

  var evt:MeEvent = new MeEvent(MeEvent.REMOTE,true);
dispatchEvent(evt);


---

package com.me
{
import flash.events.Event;

public class MeEvent extends Event
{

  
public static const REMOTE:String = remote;

public var realTarget:*;

public function MeEvent(type:String, bubbles:Boolean=true, 
cancelable:Boolean=false)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
}
}

--
And inside my custom component this is the event listener. 

private function init():void{
this.addEventListener(MeEvent.REMOTE, handleEvent);
}


Thanks for your time,

 Sorry to highjack your thread.  Here's a method to display a 
 multi-lined Axis label:

 *labelFunction:
 *public function 
 wrapLabel(cat:Object,pcat:Object,ax:CategoryAxis,catItem:Object):String 
 {
 var pattern:RegExp = /-/;
 return cat.replace(pattern, -\n);
 }

 *Axis:*
 mx:horizontalAxis
 mx:CategoryAxis categoryField=CategoryField 
 labelFunction=wrapLabel/   
 /mx:horizontalAxis

 This example changes:

 11/17/06 - 12/16/06

 to

 11/17/06 -
 12/16/06

 By using regular expresions, you have quite a bit of flexibility.

   Hi Tim. yes, the AxisRenderer supports a property called
   'labelRenderer' which is very much like an item renderer. Pass the
   AxisRenderer a reference to a class (wrapped in a classFactory, just
  as
   with itemRenderers) that extends UIComponent, ProgrammaticSkin, or one
   of the existing Flex components, and implements the IDataRenderer
   interface. The AxisRenderer will instantiate one of these for each
   label it needs to show, and assign the label to the labelRenderer's
   'data' property.
  
   I don't think there are any examples out there of how to do this
  today.
  
   Ely.
  
  
   p.s. You could also consider writing a custom axisRenderer...there's a
   pretty exhaustive example of how to do that in the Interactive Bubble
   Chart on my blog, http://www.quietlyscheming.com/. You could
   theoretically create two axis renderers that stack on the left hand
  side
   that way, although that's a pretty big undertaking.

 After years (and years and years) of programming Flash, I'm used

 Why in God's green earth can't I do the same in Flex? I have a
 custom login component which
 is currently a child of the base app, sitting in a view state. All
 I want to do is grab one of the
 returned values that the login gets (emailaddress) and let other
 sections of my program see
 that.

 I cannot for the life of me figure this out. I see stuff about
 making static members of classes,
 referencing parentApplication etc.

 I am in no way a newbie to interactive development, and this is
 just insane. Within my first
 two days of using Flex I figured out how to create a complete
 login/registration system that
 talks to a DB, and figured out how to use the socket class to
 directly talk to my mail server
 and format a proper SMTP message, but I can't do this.

 Clear guidance would be appreciated

I know I've posted this already.  Sorry, just trying to get this

post again since I've been kind of stuck on this point here.

Thanks,

[flexcoders] How to get a sample archive to work - steps involved please (Distortion Effects)

Hello:

This looks really cool, but I can't figure out how to make these work:

http://weblogs.macromedia.com/auhlmann/archives/DistortionEffects.zip




How does one go about making this a new flex project - and get it to 
compile right? I’m a little confused the steps involved for importing 
these kind of archives into flex. This is the second one that’s stumped me.


Thanks,
Patrick

Thanks tip 1 you gave me worked.

Tip 2, i don't know how to use the IFill property on the barSeries,

 Hi Patrick.  Look at:
  
 1) the barWidthRatio and maxBarWidth properties on barChart (or 
 barSeries, if you're not using a barChart).
 2) the fill style on barSeries to change the colors.
  
  
 tell me more about what it is you want to do with images, and I can

[flexcoders] 2 questions

[DJ Lift]

Hi there,

Have some questions about the best practice way of designing apps.

I'm building a simple email server preferences application. And I've created 
two 
components. One for handling the login (which hits amfphp and ldap on the 
backend) and 
one for loading and changing/saving the user prefs (which also hits amfphp and 
ldap on 
the backend).

There are really only two states, login handilng, and prefs changing.

Question 1: Is it best to use States or ViewStacks to deal with changing app 
states?

on to my second question...

The login component is sorta self sufficient. It can handle good logins and bad 
ones. and 
if it's a good login can switch the current state to the preferences state (as 
viewstates are 
what i'm currently working with.) But when i get to the email preferences 
state, it wants to 
know things from the login component, like email and password. 

Question 2: Is it good practice to have components be able to talk and share 
information 
with one another? And if so, how do you keep them around and reference them if 
you're 
using viewstates?

Thanks,
mark

Re: [flexcoders] Flashvars

Hi,

I assumed there was problem with flex  parsing flashvars then I realized 
that my query wasn't functioning properly, and it was a typo in my 
username field.  Which always goes to show, that right after
I post, I usually solve my problem... and then it comes down to 
something stupid on my part (maybe it's because I get cross-eyed looking 
at code all day)

However many thanks, this FXT stuff looks very interesting.  Will 
investigate further

Bye for now dorky

 I'm not sure what part of your question to answer but you may find the

 the generated html-index-template.html and merging your flex project 
 with a existing server-side type page (like asp, jsp, php).

[flexcoders] Little mask question/container bounding issue

[dj]

Hey guys and girls,

I know this seems a little simple to add to the list, but I am
eagerly awaiting my Actionscript3.0 book, coming from Amazon
tomorrow, then I'll  be able to study this stuff with out listing.

I have an HBox holding a bunch of images for the my thumbnail, I have
an issue where if the thumbnails load more images than my HBox
displays it autosizing, changing my entire nav, throwing it off.

Idealy, I want to make the HBox not keep resizing if my thumbnails is
greater than the width of the box.  I should use a mask as well, how
do i apply one to this:


public function addThumb(target:SWFLoader):void
{
deleteLastBorder();

var image:Image = new Image();
image.filters = [new 
DropShadowFilter(4,45,0x00,1,4,4,.3)]
var bmp:Bitmap = Bitmap(target.content);
var newBitmap:Bitmap = new
Bitmap(Bitmap(target.content).bitmapData.clone())
newBitmap.width = 60;
newBitmap.height = 45;
image.width = 60;
image.height = 45;
image.setStyle(moveEffect, Move);
image.setStyle(addedEffect, Fade);
image.buttonMode = true;
image.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, 
image_handler);
image.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,  
image_handler);
image.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, 
image_handler);

var border1:Sprite = new Sprite();
border1.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xcc, 1.0);
border1.graphics.drawRect(-3, -3, 
image.width+6, image.height+6); 
image.addChild(border1);
image.addChild(newBitmap);
images_container.addChild(image);
lastImage = image;
lastBorder = border1;
THUMBARRAY.push(image);
index++;

}


Thanks so much,

Re: [flexcoders] Trash/bugs in Flashplayer 9 filters

[dj]

Matt:

When flex uses relative values for x and y for placement it always uses 
an integers, right? I'm confused
how this would show up then. Of course all images i load are height and 
width = integers, of course.

Do masks behind images have any affect because i am using a mask behind 
the filters. That seems
how this bug was introduced.



Thanks,
Patrick


Matt Chotin wrote:

 The feedback I got from an engineer is that this can often happen when 
 you’re not using integers for values into the filters (or the 
 x/y/width/height of the object being affected is not an integer). When 
 you have non-integer values the object will not be on pixel 
 boundaries, thus you see artifacts.

[flexcoders] Unusual Behavior of a text Area with HTML Spanish Characters

[dj]

Before I assume it's a bug, I'm probably doing something wrong, but
I'm trying to display Spanish language characters in html in a
textArea.  However, characters with accents work like an escape
sequence and makes the formatting skip lines:


The problem seems to start at:  marrón  

font color = '#339933'Altura: font color = '#00'altobrfont
color = '#339933'Cuerpo: font color = '#00'gordobrfont
color = '#339933'Ojos: font color = '#00'marrónbrfont color
= '#339933'Pelo: font color = '#00'mezcladobrfont color =
'#339933'Primera Lengua: font color = '#00'españolbrfont
color = '#339933'Nivel de Español: font color =
'#00'Perfectobrfont color = '#339933'Moriré para Shakira:
font color = '#00'síbr


Any enlightenment on why this won't display properly, please let me
know.

Thanks,
Patrick

Cross domain policy check?

can somebody give me the best set up for a cross-domain policy, should

the policy for every image/swf that's loaded? 

How do you check the domain policy inside an mxml tag? is it better to 
make a custom loader for all loaded media/images for a cross domain check?

[flexcoders] try catch

[dj]

Hi,

I don't want a message like this to stop my flash, i want to try to 
catch a pop up from displaying like:


The image actually loads but this error comes up:  SecurityError: Error 
#2122: Security sandbox violation: Loader.content: 
Can somebody shoe me a try-catch situation?



I'm loading the crossdomain policy in my init();

the errror says i have to set my checkPolicyFile flag, is this possible 
from inside the mx:Image tag, is it neccessary to write a small loader 
method to check the policy file?

The example is a limited in the help files.  What's the best method to 
work with images-cross domain policies, etc?  Can you just put an allow 
domain policy into the init command 
System.Security.allowDomain(http://myurl;); one time what's the best 
method.

Thanks for your time,
Patrick

[dj]

I noticed there's always a background in all flex apps, how do make it 
transparent, if possible.

Thanks,

[flexcoders] HBox inside a vbox - inside an Accordion (possible bug)

[dj]

I was having the damnest time adding a little thumbnail component to the 
inside of a HBox - inside a VBox - inside an Accordion...

I had no problem as the code demonstrates inside the first vbox in my 
accordion:

mx:Accordion id=accordion0 width=334 height=180 
resizeToContent=true
!-- Define each panel using a VBox container. --
mx:VBox id=v1 label=Favorite Friends 
backgroundColor=#c0c0c0 width=100% verticalScrollPolicy=off
mx:HBox x=100 y=100  width=600 height=280  
id=stack verticalScrollPolicy=off /
/mx:VBox   
mx:VBox id=v2 label={about_me} width=100% 
height=100% verticalScrollPolicy=off horizontalScrollPolicy=off
   
   mx:HBox width=100% height=100% 
  mx:TextArea id=about_profile 
htmlText={about_person} x=0 y=0 width=100% height=100%  
wordWrap=true editable=false fontSize=12 fontWeight=bold 
fontFamily=tres/
 /mx:HBox
/mx:VBox
 mx:VBox id=v3 label=Favorites width=100% height=143
 mx:Text id=favorites_ /
 /mx:VBox
/mx:Accordion

But below when i try to do my method  stack to create my component 
inside my vbox =v2, it says undefined object or refrence... null... i 
*think* know i am doing this right, however flex can't find my component 
ID or something  -- why would this be?


mx:Accordion id=accordion0 width=334 height=180 
resizeToContent=true
!-- Define each panel using a VBox container. --
mx:VBox id=v1 label=Favorite Friends 
backgroundColor=#c0c0c0 width=100% verticalScrollPolicy=off
   mx:HBox width=100% height=100% 
  mx:TextArea id=about_profile 
htmlText={about_person} x=0 y=0 width=100% height=100%  
wordWrap=true editable=false fontSize=12 fontWeight=bold 
fontFamily=tres/
 /mx:HBox
/mx:VBox   
mx:VBox id=v2 label={about_me} width=100% 
height=100% verticalScrollPolicy=off horizontalScrollPolicy=off
  mx:HBox x=100 y=100  width=600 height=280  
id=stack verticalScrollPolicy=off /
 
/mx:VBox
 mx:VBox id=v3 label=Favorites width=100% height=143
 mx:Text id=favorites_ /
 /mx:VBox
/mx:Accordion

Thanks,
Patrick

[flexcoders] HTTPService Result to ArrayCollection

[DJ Lift]

Hi there,
I'm new and I don't understand something :)
Hopefully someone can help me out.

I have a datagrid that I am attempting to populate.
I've been able to successfully populate the grid with xml from and HTTPService 
with no 
problem.

But now I want to be able to filter and create specific sort functions for the 
grid, which I 
understand requires the dataProvider for the dataGrid to be an ArrayCollection. 
Is this 
true?

If so, can i somehow take the XML result from the HTTPService and make an 
ArrayCollection out of it? I'm having trouble attempting this. 

Below is what i have so far...

mx:HTTPService id=jobInfoReq
url=http://mccray/~mm/oracle/joblookup.php; 
useProxy=false 
method=GET 
showBusyCursor=true
 mx:request xmlns=
 pirateLoc{pirateLocSelector.label}/pirateLoc
 pirateClient{pirateClientSelector.label}/pirateClient
 pirateProduct{pirateProductSelector.label}/pirateProduct
 /mx:request
 /mx:HTTPService
