[flexcoders] I've run into som real woes with FB4
I've had to re-install the application after my application became unusable. I've run into a handful of show stoppers, and real annoying things. noted on OSX first imports started importing in the middle of my class files with the auto mode instead of at the top 4.00 sdk debugger fails often on my AS project using the the 4.00 sdk my project became unreadable had to check it out again, kept telling me to restart the find replace plugin failed, and made my night a disaster and finally the software had to be reinstalled because my workspace wouldn't reset to FLASH And, last but not least, my software, full release says BETA on the top bar. Hope a patch comes out soon

Don't you think those requirements are cut and paste?

[flexcoders] Will there be any changes in the current 3.x SDK to measure text correctly
This is a fundamental thing, right, measuring text? It shouldn't require some hacks, with timeouts to try to measure text after you change it. This is my biggest complaint, please. Fix text. Fix Text. Make it measure, give us internal access to numRows, or something and the internal textField, without having to extend text... please please, I beg of you... We ask that you do this? I just can't figure out for the life of me this is even this way. I have components that need to resize depending on the real-true height of their internal text component. Is there any proven solution to make this work correctly? Why oh why, is this the way it is? Please explain or point blame to another team. Off the soapbox, I apologize if I offended you, but it offends me that I can't with one line of code get the true height of my text. -Sincerely, Disgruntled

[flexcoders] Suggestion for Adobe Team: Open Browser project
Open Browser project... Since Adobe has done such a masterful job with 'The Open Screen Project'. I think you should follow suit and do an Open Browser Project. I am one of those developers who would like to see the flashplayer get more horsepower to handle the ever-growing scope of our applications. Some of the support I'd like to see: - Full Restful support in all browser, allowing all status code results to get to flashplayer - Ability to set encoding in header to ask for GZIP datasets from the browser - Proper scroll-wheel implementation with Firefox on Mac - Ability to paste into textfields on Camino - Proper Wmode support If you were able to work with the browser community as well as the handset manufacturers Flashplayer would be a lot better. It is time consuming, and your end developer community on the front-line has to make the excuse why things that should work don't. So, it's just a suggestion for the comment box. Thanks, Patrick

So we're getting ready for our first release of this massive flex app, and we've just switched to SSL for our auth...

So, I am at the juncture, again for the 5th time in my dev career how am I going to get around that http status code crap again! --- Is it possible to trap these responses in the browser with a javascript and return them into flashplayer through external interfface? Is that possible, does anybody have any suggestions on how to handle tokens on this one? I am using HTTP delegates for my service calls with IRespnder. How would I return the token? Is that possible? http://code.google.com/p/as3httpclientlib/ Might be a good alternative to http, but can it it be used with delegates and IResponder?

Maybe in the next release you get that flicker taken care in data grid header

[flexcoders] Re: Modules and fonts vanishing is giving me the cramps
Very doubtful that I did that. To be on the safe side, is having this inside my creationComplete event of every module a good idea? Yes. var myLoaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(); myLoaderContext.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain; I always make sure that my visual components for whatever module I am creating are only inside my module. It was really weird, the puremvc, issue, it was just a reference to my model with with retrieveProxy inside of one of my shell commands. All I did was remove that reference and my fonts reapeared. What I do is put all my commands in my shell, and use the puremvc shellModuleJuction paradigm, which cleanly, decouples any references to the modules directly through a nice event mechanism. This is a pretty intense flex project. Off hand, say you have a module that checks in at 1.2 megs with out doing the link reports. When I do all the link stuff with a build script, what can I expect that to be reduced to? Any ideas, mostly it's datagrids and charts inside. Also, looks like I am not going to make Adobe Max this year, :( I saw you speak last year.

It seems every time that I compile, I have to switch up the base-class from sprite to movieclip in my class, or movieclip to sprite, in order for the code to actually compile into the project. Is there a list of best practices, tutorial, or anything specific I can look at so I can make sure that I am not doing something wrong that obvious... Is it true the difference between the plain old actionscript compiler and the flex compiler, when it comes to compiled embedded clips, that the base class is sprite in flex - if the asset has only one frame, and multiple frames are automatically movieclips. Does this also mean in flash, in the properties i should extend the base class as Sprite instead of movieclip? as always, Thanks for your time. Patrick
[flexcoders] Weird issue with movieclip/sprite uiComponent
I have an embedded UIComponent, with a sprite inside, what's weird is that every time I compile I either have to extend Sprite, or MovieClip to make my component work. I understand that Flex automatically uses a movieclip as a sprite if it has one frame in the timeline, like usually all my Flash swf's have. So basically, I need to keep switching my base class on my movieclip to work. Any suggestions why I need to keep changing the base class for my uicomponent to compile in my project. Thanks again community, Patrick

The blurry effect doesnt occur any more with sdk4.
The component I wrote uses sdk3.3, which leaves blurry the buttons from the
example code you sent.

Thatâs not what Iâm seeing: in the code below, the rotator effect rotates
the button around the Y axis, ending at rotationY==0, at which point the text
in the button is no longer blurry:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute
mx:AnimateProperty id=rotator property=rotationY fromValue=360
toValue=0 target={button1}/
mx:Button id=button x=10 label=Move Me click=button.z = (button.z
== 100) ? 0 : 100/
mx:Button id=button1 x=10 y=50 label=Rotate Me
click=rotator.play()/
/mx:Application
Are you doing anything with the 3D properties besides setting rotationY? Post
all of the code (if you can boil it down to a simple case)

You donât necessarily have to reset the 2d matrix â you just have to make
sure that all of your 3d properties are set back to the values they would
have if the object were again in 2d.
In the original example, if the only thing you did was to change the z
location, and then you reset it to 0, then the text should not be blurry any
longer (we recognize that the object no longer needs a 3D transform and just
do the right 2D thing instead). I suspect that you are setting more 3D
properties than simply the z property (like rotationX, rotationY, etc.), so
even though youâre zeroing-out the âzâ property, thatâs not enough to
take the object out of 3D and put it on the 2D plane again.
Figure out the other 3D properties that youâre tweaking (just take a look
at the matrix when itâs back in the state where you think it should be 2D)
and reset the ones that are still in 3D.
Chet.

When objects are back to 2d, you have to reset 2d matrix to get rid of blurry

Populating the VO:
[Bindable]
public var companyVO:CompanyVO;
private function sSelectCompany(event:ListEvent):void
{
companyVO = event.itemRenderer.data as CompanyVO
trace(ObjectUtil.toString(companyVO));
}
When a user clicks on a row in a datagrid, sSelectCompany is called via
itemDoubleClick=sSelectCompany(event). This works perfectly fine.
This is the result I get from tracing out the event.itemRenderer.data

I have tested my coldfusion code and it returns the proper VO. I have
verified that case is not the issue.

[flexcoders] Re: How do I do a sort on IHierarchicalCollectionView
I created my sort, applied called my grouping Collection.refresh() and the data
duplicates in the advancedDatagrid, any ideas?
Thanks,

I don't think that it is different. IHierarchicalCollectionView extends
ICollectionView which is where the sort is defined.

By the way, why is the sort different from ICollectionView? This makes

Just sort the collection that the grid is bound to.

How do i duplicate the functionality of of sorting an advancedDatagrid

I'd like to sort my IHierarchicalCollectionView recursively.
