Re: [flexcoders] Re: popup on screen certer? [1 Attachment]
Mark-
I don't know what you did to test this, but I was not guessing at my
answer. This is something I actually use (FB 4.6, btw, in case that
matters). As my gift to you, here is my simple Alert component that
extends s:SkinnablePopUpContainer (attached as a ZIP and also pasted
into the message, since I don't know which will work best on the list).
As you can see, it calls PopUpManager.centerPopUp(this) when it is first
added to the stage and also anytime it receives a Resize event while it
is open. Some of the component is borrowed from tutorials I've seen on
the web, but the code to handle resizing and centering was my own work.

[flexcoders] privacy settings popup
How to listen if a user already clicked accept, when the camera access popup showed up?
Re: [flexcoders] privacy settings popup
You can't, FP does not provide a close event for that panel. There was a request in Jira but I am not sure what the status of this is You need to listen for camera events and guess. There is activity and status events. In addition what I do I start a timer and monitor for a couple of seconds the camera.currentFps. if that is 0, something is wrong, if is constant there is also a chance that the camera delivered frames but stopped, otherwise camera is fine.

[flexcoders] Re: How to populate itemeditor with popup value
You will need to create an event listener on the System Manager to trigger on
the window close event (Will probably have to be at the application level).
once the event triggers, grab the data that you need and inject it into the
component that needs it. NB. System Manager handles all window events.

Re: [flexcoders] How to layer popup windows
Thanks Alex, much appreciated! -Greg On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 4:21 PM, Alex Harui aha...@adobe.com wrote: The Application and all popups are parented by the SystemManager. The SystemManager divides its children into four childlists (application, popup, tooltip, cursor). The Application childlist is the lowest so that children in the popup childlist float over them, tooltips float over the application and popups and cursors float over everything. The popup children probably should’ve been called “floating” or something like that. The PopUpManager always adds a popup over all the other children currently in the childlist specified in addPopUp/createPopUp, so depending on the order and childlist specified, you can get different things at different levels.

I updated my code however, same result. My top level popup, or the one I want on top specifies the parent as the main application and uses APPLICATION childList arg. My small middle layer popup specifies the module as the parent and specifies PARENT as the childList however, when the middle layer popup displayes on top of the top level popup. Should this be working or am I still missing something? Not sure if it makes a difference, but the actual code for displaying the popups is in the main application and it is being called from the module.

Re: [flexcoders] Use a Popup as itemEditor in Datagrids
You may not be able to prevent another edit session from ITEM_EDIT_END, but there should be an ITEM_EDIT_BEGINNING right after that you can use to cancel the editing of that renderer.

Re: [flexcoders] How to layer popup windows
Hi Alex, No, I was not specifying the childList and never understood the implication of using that argument. I updated my code however, same result. My top level popup, or the one I want on top specifies the parent as the main application and uses APPLICATION childList arg. My small middle layer popup specifies the module as the parent and specifies PARENT as the childList however, when the middle layer popup displayes on top of the top level popup. Should this be working or am I still missing something? Not sure if it makes a difference, but the actual code for displaying the popups is in the main application and it is being called from the module.

Re: [flexcoders] How to layer popup windows
The Application and all popups are parented by the SystemManager. The SystemManager divides its children into four childlists (application, popup, tooltip, cursor). The Application childlist is the lowest so that children in the popup childlist float over them, tooltips float over the application and popups and cursors float over everything. The popup children probably should’ve been called “floating” or something like that. The PopUpManager always adds a popup over all the other children currently in the childlist specified in addPopUp/createPopUp, so depending on the order and childlist specified, you can get different things at different levels. I suspect you want the top level popup to go in the popup childlist On 5/11/10 12:52 PM, Greg Hess flexeff...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Alex, No, I was not specifying the childList and never understood the implication of using that argument.

Hi Alex, I studied your example at http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2008/08/datagrid_with_popup_editor.html I have created editing cell with popup editor with ADG and also implement cell edit in double click instead of single click.

If data is not Date type then itemeditBeginning goes with default behaviors(i.e. direct edit the cell).

[flexcoders] Positioning / Scrolling problem with Flex popup
Hi all,
I'm trying to work out a specific problem I'm having with positioning in Flex
using the PopUpManager. Basically I'm wanting to create a popup which will
scroll with the parent container - this is necessary because the parent
container is large and if the user's browser window isn't large enough (this
will be the case the majority of the time) - they will have to use the
scrollbar of the container to scroll down. The problem is that the popup is
positioned relative to another component, and it needs to stay by that
component. (also sorry if the code below isn't formatted right, but I pasted it
right from Eclipse).
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute

popup.width = 250;
popup.height = 300;
popup.title = Example;
var tf:UITextField = new UITextField();
tf.wordWrap = true;
tf.width = popup.width - 30;
tf.text = This window stays put and doesn't scroll when the hbox is
scrolled (even with using the hbox as parent in the addPopUp method), I need
the popup to be local to the HBox.;

[flexcoders] Re: Positioning / Scrolling problem with Flex popup
You'll want to create a method that does something like this:
var target:Point = localToGlobal( new Point( hbox.x, hbox.y ) );
popup.move( target.x, target.y );
Call the method after you add the popup and when the container is scrolled. In
some cases localToContent is more appropriate.

[flexcoders] Popup focus issue, seems very broken
I have a very odd issue in my Flex3 app. I have a popup that is an mx:TitleWindow, instantiated with the popupManager in the normal way. It has a number of buttons, and a canvas. On creationComplete, an additional control is dynamically added to the canvas using childCanvas.addChild(). Everything works perfectly, *except* that the focus does not arrive in the popup; it remains in the background application window (which is blurred out as normal). On tabbing, I can observe the blue focus rectangle moving about the old top-level window. This doesn't always happen- but in about 75% of cases it does. If I manually set the focus into the popup (e.g into a textfield or a button), then tabbing continues to only have an effect in the wrong window. I've tried explicitly setting the focus in the creationComplete method (setFocus), both in the popup and from the outer container but no dice. I've tried making the added component trivially simple, and it still seems to cause it to break. Any good ideas, or is this just terminally broken?
Re: [flexcoders] Popup focus issue, seems very broken
Try using an Alert instead of the TitleWindow. If that works, then there is probably code in the titleWindow causing problems, otherwise it is probably code in the app. You can try tracing out focusIn/focusOut events to see what is going on.

[flexcoders] RTE focusManager is null in a popup
I have a custom control that is similar to a combo in that it has a 'popup' dropdown. The difference is that the popup is editable and can be clicked into. The problem I am having is that when I click into the dropdown I get a RTE because focusManager is null. The problem seems to be that the addPopUp sets the parent to be the SM and and the owner is my control. With SM as parent the focusManager is automatically null. So where am I going wrong?

[flexcoders] How to mouse-wheel scroll DataGrid in TitleWindow popup?
Hi, I'm stumped on a problem and could use some help: I have a PopUpManager-launched TitleWindow (modal == true) that contains a DataGrid. Using the DataGrid's slider, I can move through the data rows just fine but can't scroll the DG using the mouse wheel. As a test, I set a MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL listener on the TitleWindow and, sure enough, it doesn't get any mouse wheel events. Rolling the mouse wheel doesn't make anything happen in any other context either, at least not that I can see. As the application is written, the popup's parent is an HBox but I've tried other parent components with no change in behavior. Is this a focus issue? How can I get the popup's DG to recognize and scroll on mouse wheel events? Flex SDK 3.4, Flash Player 10.x, Firefox 3.0, Windows XP Thanks, Garry

Hello, thanks for your reply... The event is being dispatched from a Command but I'm using HTTP Service and AsyncToken to call a Web Service. I think my problem would be getting the function ref from the delegate to the responder Command as they are de-linked if that makes sense... Cheers, Nick 2009/12/25 Vaibhav Seth vaibhav.s...@live.com Hi, Thanks for the appreciation. Yups you have got it right. But in you statement: then I have the problem of getting that function reference over into the 2nd CairngormEvent, which isn't created and fired until the Web Service responder is called I think you are talking about dispatching an event from the command or Sequence Command type of thing. For that scenario, you can pass on that function reference to the the 2nd Cairngorm Event also. You can keep that parameter in the Event also. So that you always does not need to worry about it. And Function reference is in terms of instance of the command. If your command gets fired again before it returns you the result for the last executed method, even then you are safe. Keeping the view reference in the model have pros and cons. I will not prefer that way, simply because it breaks the encapsulation, view gets publicly exposed as the Model is a singleton class. But there is no hard and fast rule as well.. :) Thanks, Vaibhav Seth.

RE: [Spam] RE: [flexcoders] Using Cairngorm and how to display a Popup from aCommand
Hi, Thanks for the appreciation. Yups you have got it right. But in you statement: then I have the problem of getting that function reference over into the 2nd CairngormEvent, which isn't created and fired until the Web Service responder is called I think you are talking about dispatching an event from the command or Sequence Command type of thing. For that scenario, you can pass on that function reference to the the 2nd Cairngorm Event also. You can keep that parameter in the Event also. So that you always does not need to worry about it. And Function reference is in terms of instance of the command. If your command gets fired again before it returns you the result for the last executed method, even then you are safe. Keeping the view reference in the model have pros and cons. I will not prefer that way, simply because it breaks the encapsulation, view gets publicly exposed as the Model is a singleton class. But there is no hard and fast rule as well.. :) Thanks, Vaibhav Seth.

[Spam] Re: [flexcoders] How to dispatchevent in popup window?
Hi Nick, Yes, you can use Meta-data tags to declare an event in your component: [Event(name=eventname, type=path.to.event.class)] This will enable code completion for your custom event. You can then add listeners to your event just as you would to other component events. And no, the parent shouldn't dispatch the event, this does cause component coupling. I'm pretty certain though that the people who suggested that did it for the sake of simplicity. In case of a quick-and-dirty prototype, you might not want to extend TitleWindow to create a popup, you can simply create an instance of TitleWindow and add your content to it, in such a case, you don't have the ability to dispatch a custom event from within your popup.

That just might have to do.

[flexcoders] calling removeListener on a popup
I have a mxml component based on TitleWindow that's used for a Popup. Nothing new there - big yawn goin your way. I also have an addEventListener called on the object (so I can dispatch a custom event): --- win = EditTaskBox(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, EditTaskBox, true)); win.taskText.setFocus(); . . win.addEventListener(taskInputText, newTaskDialogBoxHandler); -- So obviously, you want to call removeListener when you're done with the dialog, so I call removeEventListener in newTaskDialogBoxHandler(), in main.mxml, after I use the information from the custom event. win.removeEventListener(taskInputText, newTaskDialogBoxHandler); However, in the case of *cancelling* the dialog box, do I need to dispatch an event in this case as well, from within the component.? In my customer TitleWindow component, called EditTaskBox.mxml, for the closeButton handler, I call PopUpManager.removePopUp(this); It's not like you can do: removeEventListener(..) here, since you're in a static component,right? Looks like I need to just create a meta declaration for a custom event, but obviously don't need a custom Event class or anything. Just verifying this. Thanks Steve
RE: [flexcoders] calling removeListener on a popup
The listener won't cause a memory leak. The window now has a reference to the handler function not the other way around.

[flexcoders] Re: Nested PopUp and Mouse_Down_Outside event
Thank you for the suggestion. I looked at the event class and it would be quite tedious just to trap the mouse down event because of the need to traverse the owner chain. what I need to do is just to stop the mouse down event from bubbling up the chain. In the end I solved this problem by replacing the combobox with a popupbutton and list combination.

Re: [flexcoders] Passing values from popup window to MXML component
Hi,
I have written a function and after checking the username and password, to
toggle the buttons, but I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object
reference.
Here is the function I wrote
public function checkCredentials():void {
if(loginWin1.userInput.text == 'funandlearning'
loginWin1.passwordInput.text == 'funandlearning')
{
Alert.show(Login Successful);
PopUpManager.removePopUp(loginWin1);
//var main:Main = new Main();
main.logout.visible = false;
}
else
{
Alert.show('Try again');
PopUpManager.removePopUp(loginWin1);
}
}
LoginPopUp contains the code for displaying on the popupwindow, and Main is
another component which contains code for calling popup window and it contain
other UI code for header. Is this the right way to do?
Thanks

Yeah you can do what rohit said by adding a logout button at the same place and
toggling the visiblity.
This way,
From you main application you can do something like this.
if(loginWin. userInput. text=='funandlearni ng' loginWin.passwordIn
put.text= ='funandlearning' )
{
Alert.show( Login Successful) ;
loginWin.loginButto n.visible = false
loginWin.logoutButt on.visible = true
}
You can also use the same button but play around the text property.

I need help in knowing how to change the login button in component1.mxml to

successful
Thanks.
Re: [flexcoders] Passing values from popup window to MXML component
Yeah you can do what rohit said by adding a logout button at the same place and
toggling the visiblity.
This way,
From you main application you can do something like this.
if(loginWin. userInput. text=='funandlearning' loginWin.passwordIn
put.text= ='funandlearning')
{
Alert.show(Login Successful);
loginWin.loginButton.visible = false
loginWin.logoutButton.visible = true
}
You can also use the same button but play around the text property.

You can add a logout button at the same place as login button and toggle the
visibilities of these buttons depending upon the
state of your component.

[flexcoders] launching popup TitleWindow from a reused mxml component
I posted a question the other day about how to prevent a popup from being dragged outside the bounds of the application window. Since I'm fairly new at Flex, some obvious things are not immediately obvious to me. I think my popup window can be dragged outside the main application window because this in my method call below: PopUpManager.addPopUp(popwin, this, true); actually refers to an isntance of my (reusable) mxml component which is launching the popup, not to the main application window. If the parent DisplayObject referred to by this is not the main application window, is the default behavior that the popup can be dragged outside the main application window? Thanks
[flexcoders] How to set focus to a control in a popup when activated
How can I set focus to a particular control in a container whenever it it first gets poped up. However after the user has clicked in some other control I want focus to go to the control they last clicked in if the window gets deactivated and activated.
[flexcoders] Re: popup window send event to main screen
Yes you can, A quick overview - Create an Event meta tag create a class for the meta event that extends the Event and then dispatch your event that bubbles to the main application from your popup. read here; http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=createevents_3.html Of course if you are looking to create flex software that incorporates events then read the rest of the message. You might want to look at a framework like puremvc, or a more complex framework like cairngorm, these use an more complex event driven model, view, controller, I personally keep it simple and apply a easyMVC architecture. Anyone can make it complex, keeping it simple is Genius. By keeping it simple I can apply my own algorithms to software development having used for the last 27 plus years of on the job training. read on if you want my candid opinion about frameworks. So when you look at a programming model and it looks simple then you have the freedom to think outside the box, some software industry pundits have placed a big giant box in front of you saying learn this to solve the whatever comes up in the everyday software development, basically placing you inside a box, just a bigger box, saying this will lead you to quicker development, share the same core logic between programs, so on and so forth, but if you look closely enough and see that all their patterns and verbiage is just the framework a learning exercise, nothing wrong with learning, use what you like and discard the rest. The biggest pattern to solving the software development algorithms of tomorrow and today is on a web search engine page, I have found that by searching the web it's the biggest pattern solver of them all, better then any framework. I am more a web research software developer then software developer, design and function from a web search to figuring out the next software steps. The one thing I see the industry doing is following a framework, thinking it to be the greatest thing since bytes came in a core, but they miss the point, that by making pointless framework constructs/ additions to a software architecture they have diluted the meaning of the framework, making it hard to grow, making it complex. No one person or group of persons has the intelligence to lead you down a path of programming enlightenment, just a bunch of software developers that dream in code.

Thanks, Alex. The issue was setting width and height so my override measure
was never getting called. And I had a couple of component referencing/bound
{this.width} and {this.height} caused some kind of infinite loop or something?
Set all to minWidth and minHeight all works now.

Yeah, if you don't get that right then the parent gets width=200 so the child
gets width=200 then the parent measures at 202 because of a border or something
so it gets width at 202 so the child gets width=202 and the parent now measures

Re: [flexcoders] TitleWindow Popup Question(s)
Hi Dave,
Your advise certainly helped. Thanks.
What I did was the TitleWindow was used to display the data which is retrieved
from the parent window.
Although I find it odd that the TitleWindow when opened as a popup window does
not seem to connect to the web service, whereas the parent window does not have
any problem retrieving the data from the web service.
Thanks again.

Hi,
I’d reference a public set function within the title window itself. Works good
for us since we use an MVC model and so don’t really want too much code within
the TitleWindow view itself.
Regarding the title itself. I do this by assigning a Bindable variable to the
title in the main header of the title window.
Then I can update the title by simply assigning values to that variable
whenever I like.
Hope that helps.

Hi FlexCoders,
Just a little TitleWindow popup question.
I want a function to be executed everytime my popup title window component is
displayed. How do I achieve this?
I tried in the title window using the initialize property like:
mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe. com/2006/ mxml
initialize=RunEveryPop( );
but my function RunEveryPop only executes the first time the popup is
displayed. Subsequent popups would not trigger the said function.
I know I can declare a public function in the title window and simply call this
function from the calling main application, but I am wondering if this is a
good or recommended way in achieving this?
Also, another question...
How do I reference the title of the TitleWindow from within itself? Like for
example:
private function getTitleWindowTitle () :void
{
Alert.show(Titlewin dow.Title) ;
// I Should be able to display the Title of the title window in an alert
message.
}
Advice and inputs would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.,

Popups are actually children of the system manager not the application. :) So
make sure you are listening in the right spot.

hi Vito,
Thanks a lot. This surely does work. The reason why my initialize events were
not firing is that I declared the popup window in an application scope
variable, so basically, it has alread been instantiated and not
re-instantiated when I make the call.
Another question though.
I think the TitleWindow when it is a popup window does not seem to be able to
make web service calls. I wonder why. After changing all the codes, I am
trying to retrieve a data from a web service from this popup TitleWindow but
nothing seems to happen.
Suggestions highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey there,
I'm not sure how you are creating your popup but I would recommend you do it
like this.
var popper:TestPopUp = new TestPopUp();
PopUpManager. addPopUp( popper,this) ;
PopUpManager. centerPopUp( popper);
Where TestPopUp is your TitleWindow Component. Then your creationComplete and
Initialize events will fire every time because you are creating a new
reference.
You can reference the title of the title window inside it's self by calling
this.title.
//This code would go inside the TestPopUp.mxml which extends TitleWindow in
my example
private function getTitleWindowTitle () :void
{
Alert.show(this. title);
// I Should be able to display the Title of the title window in an alert
message.
}
Hope that helps,

Hi Struggling with the follwing problem: We build a popup-based application. Popups are created with default childlist parameters, meaning PopUpManagerChildList.PARENT. In a certain popup, I use a standard button that, when clicked open a Menu to offer additional choices. Problem is that the menu hides *under* the popup, rendering it unusable. I have messed around with Popupmanager.bringToFront(menu), and manipulating the z-index of the menu with menu.parent.setChildIndex() etc, but no avail. The parent of the menu is the SystemManager.

I know I can declare a public function in the title window and simply call this
function from the calling main application, but I am wondering if this is a
good or recommended way in achieving this?
Also, another question...
How do I reference the title of the TitleWindow from within itself? Like for
example:
private function getTitleWindowTitle() :void
{
Alert.show(Titlewindow.Title);
// I Should be able to display the Title of the title window in an alert
message.
}
Advice and inputs would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.,
Re: [flexcoders] TitleWindow Popup Question(s)
Hi,
I¹d reference a public set function within the title window itself. Works
good for us since we use an MVC model and so don¹t really want too much code
within the TitleWindow view itself.
Regarding the title itself. I do this by assigning a Bindable variable to
the title in the main header of the title window.
Then I can update the title by simply assigning values to that variable
whenever I like.
Hope that helps.
Dave.

Hi FlexCoders,
Just a little TitleWindow popup question.
I want a function to be executed everytime my popup title window component
is displayed. How do I achieve this?
I tried in the title window using the initialize property like:
mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
initialize=RunEveryPop();
but my function RunEveryPop only executes the first time the popup is
displayed. Subsequent popups would not trigger the said function.

[flexcoders] Re: TitleWindow Popup Question(s)
Hey there,
I'm not sure how you are creating your popup but I would recommend you do it
like this.
var popper:TestPopUp = new TestPopUp();
PopUpManager.addPopUp(popper,this);
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(popper);
Where TestPopUp is your TitleWindow Component. Then your creationComplete and
Initialize events will fire every time because you are creating a new reference.
You can reference the title of the title window inside it's self by calling
this.title.
//This code would go inside the TestPopUp.mxml which extends TitleWindow in my
example
private function getTitleWindowTitle() :void
{
Alert.show(this.title);
// I Should be able to display the Title of the title window in an alert
message.
}
Hope that helps,
-Vito
