RE: [flexcoders] Re: New Into Flex
Thanks for the heads up. I have tried to get some datatable/dataset into my first application. I am getting the error: [RPC Fault faultString=Security error accessing url faultCode=Channel.Security.Error faultDetail=Unable to load WSDL. If currently online, please verify the URI and/or format of the WSDL (http://localhost:50505/TestWebService.asmx?wsdl)] I have VS 2005 web service running on localhost on my machine. How do I remedy this? By the way, I compiled my application using the SDK. Command used was mxmlc test.mxml.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: New to flex, wonder why one works and the other doesn't...
In other words, UIComponents /can/ natively contain other UIComponents, only the child UIComponent will by default have a 0 width and height. Which it means it won't show up on the stage. Which means, by default, you cannot get a native (non-extended) UIComponent to show up when you add it to another UIComponent. Which means you cannot (successfully) add a native UIComponent to another UIComponent. Thanks for catching the technicality, as a writer I love that kind of precision. But basically what Charlie was saying is correct: UIComponent's can't contain other UIComponents without being a subclass of Container or implementing the IContainer interface. -- only he forgot to add 'and have them successfully show up on stage'. So you're both correct IMO. Thanks for the clarity. ___ Joseph Balderson | http://joeflash.ca Flex Flash Platform Developer | Abobe Certified Developer Trainer Author, Professional Flex 3 (coming Winter 2008) Staff Writer, Community MX | http://communitymx.com/author.cfm?cid=4674 Michael Labriola wrote: Guys, sorry, but that's not quite right. UIComponents can contain other UIComponents without being a container. It is a common use case. Take a look at the simple example Adobe includes with their docs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.h tm?href=1742.html You will notice that the mocal text component is a UIComponent but it contains a button and a text area... both UIComponents. The difference is that containers like Canvas have the logic to size and position any child they contain by default. UIComponent does not. So, in a UIComponent descendant, you need to write code to size and position every child or they will exist as 0 width and 0 height component.

UIComponent's can't contain other UIComponents without being a subclass of Container or implementing the IContainer interface. Not a simple task. addChild() is defined in DisplayObject which apart of the Flash API not the Flex API. BitmapAsset is a sublcass of DisplayObject and not UIComponent. So you can add it to the text area directly using this code: var img : BitmapAsset = new imgCls() as BitmapAsset; img.x = txtArea.mouseX; img.y = txtArea.mouseY; txtArea.addChild( img ); Now, try that out, and you'll start to see some issues that you'll have to asess if this is going to work for what you're trying to do. Since the bitmap is not apart of the document in the TextArea you are going to get clipping or scrolling. If you want to do that you'll have to get really dirty with the TextArea API. Probably even ditching TextArea altogether and writing your own, or modifying rich text editor.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: new to FLEX
Hello Dangel, I was a part of team that was devloping solutions for (Point of Sale) POS devices. Those devices have to integrate with Scanners, Barcode Readers, Printers, Cash Drawers etc. As per my experience, to intercat with such devices, there is standard called OPOS. You can find implementation of that in C++, Java and .NET. To interact with Scanner using Flex, you either need to implement OPOS standard in Flex or need to find one already implemented. However, as Flex is mainly targeted for RIA application (mainly web clients), I don't think it is possible to interact sith such devices directly from Flex becuase of Security constraints. If you are designing desktop application in Flex using AIR then may be you can interact with those devices directly. Alternatively, you can write a server application in C++, Java or C#/.NET that interact with those devices. Whenever the server gets input from the scanner, it forwards that to the Flex application using Sockets. Hope this helps. Regards, Jehanzeb --- dengelwood [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Abyss Knight: It seems that the example is for reading bar codes with a cam corder rather than a hand held bar code scanner. Or is the principle the same? My requirements are quite specific regarding a scanner, any other hand held device falls out of scope. Can't see the code example at any rate.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: New to Flex, and mxml and getting an error trying to use RSS
Hi Malik, I have been able to reproduce your error. The ?xml part needs to start at exactly the 1st row and the 1st column of your .mxml file. If you add a space or a new line before it, the error you mention below will appear. I think we were a little bit put on the wrong foot thinking your problem was a runtime error, but it appears to be a compile time error. Try to be more specific next time.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: New to Flex, Questions for datagrid
Ritesh, I'm no expert on .net, but I think that any application that can do this will need to support MS latest flavour of OLE. I have heard the newer version of the MS OSs and their RIA framework will include Office components. So instead of a datagrid, you would have Excel. I have also heard that the actual reality of this is pretty far off, like years and years away. Well that's my limited knowledge, only rumours at this point. Anyone have the real inside scoop?
