used callLater instead of waiting on the event to dispatch.  That worked

callLater(setNewFocus)

function setNewFocus():void {
focusManager.setFocus(this.augmentPackageForm.insuranceValue);
}

 This is driving me nuts.  I have a form that has several textInputs in it.  
 When you tab out of a textInput and you have entered something that is not 
 currently in the database I create a Popupwindow with another form in it so 
 the user can add more details (Quick Add for Quickbooks style) about the new 
 text entry.  I'm trying to get the form that is in the popupmanager to get 
 the focus and it kinda works... meaning it looks like it has focus (blue 
 box), but when I start typing I start filling out the next field in the 
 original form (behind the popup).  I have the form component that 'pops up', 
 implementing IFocusManagerContainer and have tried just about everything to 
 get this to work.  
 
 this.augmentPackageWindow = new TitleWindow;
   this.augmentPackageForm = new IndivdualizePackageForm;  
 this.augmentPackageWindow.addChild(this.augmentPackageForm);
 this.augmentPackageWindow.addEventListener( 
 Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, setAugmentFocus);
 PopUpManager.addPopUp( this.augmentPackageWindow, this, true 
 );
 PopUpManager.centerPopUp( this.augmentPackageWindow );
 
 in the function setAugmentFocus i have stuff like
 
 var oldFm:FocusManager = new FocusManager(this);
 oldFm.deactivate;
 
 var fm:FocusManager = new FocusManager(this.augmentPackageForm);
 fm.activate();
 fm.setFocus(this.augmentPackageForm.insuranceValue);
 
 and like I said, when I run this the focus actually goes to the insurance 
 Value field in the augmentPackageForm which is a child in the 
 augmentPackageWindow, but as soon as I start typing I begin to fill out the 
 next field in the underlying form.   
 
 Help Please!

Could possibly be, but any evidence to the fact has been swept under the carpet 
as I change it to states for a while and it worked. I have set it back to 
mx:states again and all is okay. *whistles gently*.

However ModuleTitleWindow is currently ModuleTitleWindow and desn't want to 
be called mx:ModuleTitleWindow or anything else for that matter. Not up on 
namespaces so I have left it as is for now. may want to name it something in 
the future though, looks better.

You are using modules, correct?  Then you have multiple SWFs.  If you’ve put 
them all in one project that’s fine, then all you need to do is put those files 
somewhere where they can all see them in their source-paths.

If “test” is null, then the thing loaded did not implement Itest.

Each module’s mxml file must have:
mx:Module ... Implements=”Itest” ...

You can store Itest.as anywhere and point to it with the project properties 
source-path.

Yup! that was it, marvellous. Can't believe I missed that off.
You have been very patient, thanks a lot for your help.

Yes, I would be interested in squireling away Itest rather than leaving it in 
the root project folder as I will need to build a
number of them one for each popup nearly.

How do I use project properties source-path to tidy up the file structure?

Sounds like a config/build issue.  If you are using RSLs make sure the main app 
is using RSLs and the module isn’t.  Otherwise, check the link-reports of both 
SWFs to see who is responsible for TitleWindow

Background of the popup?  You specify that by making a selector of the
name of the MXML file that defines the popup.

 

 Backgorund of the app behind the popup?  You have to specify the
modalTransparency and related styles

[flexcoders] Re: PopupManager causes RangeError: Error #2006: adding a popup window

2008-01-22 Thread wpbarto 
Alex -- I just saw that you had responded to my older post -- I
haven't been monitoring it since I found my own work-around.  Yes, you
have correctly identified the situation that the itemEditEnd is called
twice (for two different cells).

You asked the question what's the user task goal and what are you
really trying to popup?.  In this case the user has entered some text
into a datagrid cell that is ambiguous.  The pop-up provides a list of
the possible matches for the user-entered text along with some
additional information about each choice and a couple of buttons to
choose one or cancel out.

(This is a Flight Planning type of application for pilots.  If they
enter SAN they may have wanted the San Diego airport.  *Or* they may
have wanted one of the 17 other locations that start with SAN... such
as SANGO, SANFI, SANFD, etc.)

This particular use-case is used in a number of other commercial
Flight Planners, so the use of a pop-up is quite expected in this user
community.

My current pop-up code seems to be working OK at this point.  I have
actually implemented your suggestions about setting focus to the
button in the popup on creationComplete.

Hope this explanation of how this is being used can be helpful in the
future as you look at issues such as focus in the AdvancedDataGrid and
consider all of the possible use-cases that may be out there.  I'm
sure it's quite a job!

--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 The DataGrid does not like having popups come up during edit sessions.
 It is trying to manage focus between editors as the popup tries to take
 away the focus.
  
 There's also a 'problem' in your code that itemEditEnd can be called
 twice, once as you leave the cell, and again as the dg tries to move to
 a new cell and you lose focus to the popup and have to kill that editor
 too.  I'd add logic as to whether you have a popup up or not, I would
 also regenerate the popup every time instead of re-using it and set
 focus in the creationComplete handler to the button in the popup.  There
 may still be cases that won't work.  I'd try to avoid this kind of UI if
 possible, popups are rather jarring.  What are you really trying to
 popup?  What's the user task goal?

2007-12-12 Thread Igor Costa 
The problem in your code friend is because you´re trying to add itens to an
datagrid without existing first.

you can only add that if you have already created the container for it. so
addChild or initiate the popup before you do that.


and will works.

The question I have is why doesn't the garbage collector reclaim _any_ 
of the memory?  It is probably more of a bug with the flash runtime as 
opposed to flex.  I am not going to file a bug report as this is 
something that will most likely never happen in a real world

Re: [flexcoders] Re: PopUpManager quick help

2006-09-18 Thread aaron smith 



its cool, i actually got it figured out for what i need. What i was looking for actually was to center the popup to the stage. so I just created this class that I extend from instead.. It makes sense now that if you want to center inside of the parent object, you use 
PopUpManager.centerPopUp. or you can jsut specify the x and y, in this classes case, the stage width and height.package{  import mx.core.Application; import mx.containers.TitleWindow; import 
mx.events.FlexEvent; import mx.events.ResizeEvent;  /** * a class that handles centering itself in the entire application window, * does a center when the swf is resized, or when you call codeselfCenter/code
 * from one of it's subclassed implementations */ public class SelfCenteringTitleWindowPopUp extends TitleWindow {/**  * constructor  */  public function SelfCenteringTitleWindowPopUp()

Perhaps it's because you are using AS to create the canvas.  
Possibly a race condition (asynchronous) is occurring as the canvas 
is resized and the popup is centered.  You could always just use 
mx:Canvas in your main application class instead.  It all gets 
turned into AS anyway.  Sorry that I couldn't be of more help

 I wonder why it would do that. is it something to do with canvas /

 still only puts it at 0,0.

[flexcoders] Re: popupmanager . . . position the window?

2005-07-09 Thread Eric Raymond 
Here are two utility functions that I use to handle popups.  One will
center the popup, the other will align it to the top, right edge.

It was a lot of trial and error to get something which worked all the
time in Flex.  Not sure why such an simple, common task was so
painful.  Note that Flex has a centerPopup function call in the API,
but it is unreliable.

class Util {
public static var singleton : Util = new Util();

public static function showPopUpCentered(windowClass:Object,
modal:Boolean, initVars:Object):Object {
var popup = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp( _root,
windowClass, modal, initVars);
popup.centerPopUp( MovieClip(mx.core.Application.application)
);
return popup;
}

public static function showPopUpRightMost(windowClass:Object,
modal:Boolean, initVars:Object):Object {
var popup = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp( _root,
windowClass, modal, initVars);
popup.addEventListener(creationComplete, singleton,
moveRightMost);
return(popup);
}

public function creationComplete(event) {
event.target.move((mx.core.Application.application.tabStack ==
undefined ? mx.core.Application.application.width :
(mx.core.Application.application.tabStack.width +
mx.core.Application.application.tabStack.x)) - event.target.width,
mx.core.Application.application.tabStack == undefined ? 0 :
mx.core.Application.application.tabStack.y);
}
}

Notes on showPopUpRightMost:

1) You have to wait until the popup is fully created before you can
use it's size.  I used a creationComplete event listener on a
singleton of the Util class.  There are other ways to do this (which
probably would be better suited to standlone code snippets like this)

2) The guts of the implementation, creationComplete, looks to see if
the application has a top level tabStack component.  If it finds a
tabStack, it uses that instead of the application window.  You can
choose another component to align to, or you can strip out this code
entirely.


Now for the $1000 question, what effect does adding deferred: true
to the popups init vars really do?


P.S.  Someone else on this list provided the magic incantations for
showPopUpCentered.

A solution to my own question:
function interval() {
this.setStyle( dropShadow, false );
clearInterval( this.intervalNumber );
doLater( this, deletePopUp );
}

But this seems like a hack, and the fact that the dropShadow stays
around seems like a bug?  Anyone seen this before?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: PopUpManager

2005-04-20 Thread JesterXL 

Yes, if you, typically, do a deletePopUp when the event was triggered by the 
popup itself, there's some kind of reference to the popup kept around.

I've found that if I do something like this:

function initApp()
{
popup = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, TitleWindow, true);
popup.addEventListener(click, this);
}


function click()
{
doLater(this, removePopUp);
}

function removePopUp()
{
popup.deletePopUp();
}

It's ok but if I were to immediately remove it, the dropshadow still is 
there.  Anyway, the above works all the time.

Ok I am sick and am not thinking right.  Excuse my other post's
misspellings (say=saw).  But the doLater is not the issue.  Its the
timer.  I dont want to do it on a click event but a timed event with
setInterval.

The click makes sense because the PopUp has been rendered but with a
timed function (setInterval) it seems to get mixed up somewhere.

[flexcoders] Re: PopUpManager

2005-04-20 Thread Eric Raymond 


The word from Macromedia is that you need the doLater when calling
deletePopUp from a timer listener.

Some operations in actionscript get executed at different time frames
due to how the display manager works.  Sequences of code actions is an
illusion that is mostly true in Flash.

In the case of a popup closing via an interval timer, deletePopUp code
is being called at an unexpected time and the display cleanup
operations occur at the wrong time.  Feels like a bug to me


The Horrid Details:

The doLater function synchronizes with the frame rate of the Flex
application. When you use doLater, the function is called after the
current frame code has executed. This is a good time because the UI
has had a chance to respond to your ActionScript commands.

Basically, your ActionScript code that affects the UI is queued until
the end of the current frame, then it is batch-executed on the UI. I
think there is even some optimization done so that if you change a
Text field with 50 AS statements, only the last is actually seen.

The setInterval code can happen on a clock-tick, so you could have it
go off between UI code calls, thus mucking up the display.
