[flexcoders] Re: Accessing TextInput via Panel and getChildByName

[bhaq1972]

enabled is not a method, its a getter/setter property.

so you have to do ti.enabled = false;

The Problem is in your PHP code. Simple guess without looking at it

Re: [flexcoders] TitleWindow Component...help!

[Roman Protsiuk]

Hi.

Why don't your pop up dispatch some event (e.g. submitData) and you listen
to it?

R.

On 12/5/06, qnotemedia [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:


  OK - so I'm using the generic TileWindow example found on the
Component Explorer. It basically shows you how to build something
where:
1) User clicks a button, Window pops up.
2) User types into a text box in the window, clicks Submit.
3) Text typed in appears in the main app.

http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/inproduct/sdk/explorer/explorer.html

But, I'm having a little difficulty understanding the assignment of
the returned data. i.e.:

login.loginName=returnedName;

...where login is the instance of the TitleWindow, loginName is a
public Text variable inside the component, and returnedName is a text
box in the main app.

My confusion comes up when I try to edit this so that:
1) App has a combobox. Dataprovider for the combobox is an
ArrayCollection of data: data and label. User clicks a button,
TitleWindow pops up.
2) User types into a text box in the window, clicks Submit.
3) The text is a passed as a label, along with a generated ID
(generated in the component) and is added to the combobox's
dataprovider.

The problem appears to be that there is no handler of the Submit
button click on the main application. Obviously, I would add to a
datasource and return an ID from that, but I can't even get this to
work manually (i.e. for testing purposes, setting a static data and
label).

Just trying to keep this as simple as possible. Seems to me that if
I can pass a string of text, I should also be able to pass an Object
that is added to a dataProvider in the main app? Right?

Help!

Re: [flexcoders] ListBase.as getting called after Drop to Datagrid--Preventing the Drop???

Hi Wayne,

By any chance did you forget to register your event handler with the  
DataGrid? Just a thought.


Cheers,

the fact that I have a custom dragEnter handler, it still executes the
handler found in ListBase.as which cancels out my handler.

Does anyone know what would cause this? Thanks!

My Handler is as follows:

private function onDragEnter( event:DragEvent ) : void
{
DragManager.acceptDragDrop(UIComponent(event.currentTarget));
}

It doesn't matter if it's a collection of dumb value objects, a
component, a state variable, or just a common effect. If an object
is used more than a couple of times in the app, put it in the
ModelLocator.  Remember, everything is an object; instantiated and
destroyed like the rest of them (GC?:)).  The key is; does the object
need to be reusable?  If so, make it central.

Re: [flexcoders] drag n drop manager

[Lachlan Cotter]

Hi Rajesh,

When you say that the object is moved or disappears when you drop it  
on the application, is that because you haven't set up event handlers  
to receive the dropped data?


There are at least two methods you could use to remove the drag  
operation.


1.  Do a test in the method that initiates the drag to see if the  
target is 'eligible' to be dragged.


2. Remove the event handler from the object when it is dropped on the  
canvas.


Cheers,
Lach

Re: [flexcoders] Returning values from objects on another canvas

[Lachlan Cotter]

Hi,

There are a couple of different issues here.

First, why do you need to get a reference to the other view? If it is  
in order to access or manipulate the data therein, the better  
approach is to bind both views into some dataProvider and manipulate  
the data through that.


Second, the reason you can't address the sub-components at compile  
time is that they are not part of the canvas class (they are children  
of your instance). Notwithstanding the above paragraph, if you still  
need to access them this way, you might want to define your own  
subclass component with these child properties, so Flex Builder can  
find them at compile time.


Finally, just a guess but perhaps dgselectedOptions is null at  
runtime because at the time your function is executing, that  
component has not yet been initialised. Check the creationPolicy of  
the tab navigator.


Cheers,
Lach

How does one go about referencing objects on another canvas? For

Payment Options

Inside the attendees tab I have a canvas: csAttendee with a datagrid:

When the user submits the pay button on the payment options tab I
call a function to validate their input and try and reference the
columns array for the datagrid dgselectedOptions.

Using csAttendee.dgselectedOptions gives me an error when I try to
compile of Access of possibly undefined property dgselectedOptions
through a reference with static type mx.containers:Canvas.

If I try Attendees.csAttendee.dgselectedOptions gives me Access of
possibly undefined property csAttendee through a reference with
static type mx.containers:Canvas.

If I try just dgselectedOptions it compiles, but when I click my
payment button it gives: Cannot access a property or method of a
null object reference. Even though I can click on the Attendees tab
and the datagrid is there and populated.

[flexcoders] Images and tooltips

[Kenneth Sutherland]

 I've been having a look at the ImageToolTip component from
everythingflex.com I've implemented it in my own flex site but I would
like to make the tooltip appear at a different position. As at the
moment it appears below the mousepointer when you hover the mouse. I
would like it to appear above the mouse pointer.  So that the bottom
left corner of the image is where the pointer is.

 

Is this possible and how.

 

Thanks.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm's Anaemic Domain Model

[Alex Uhlmann]

Hi Lach,
 
there many ways to use Cairngorm. I agree with you completly, it's of
vital importance to refactor the right functionality from both, views
and commands into model objects that mean something to your use case.
Then, this functionality can also be easier unit tested. Just lets keep
in mind that there's also view functionality like effects code etc,
which wouldn't make too much sense in a model, instead they can often be
refactored into utility classes ( which you might want to call view
helpers ;) )
 
However how your model is going to look like depends on your specific
needs. Cairngorm doesn't tell you how to design your custom model or
your custom view. It's the infractucture around that. 
 
My blog entries around that, which Douglas pointed out, have the indent
to show one possible route to go towards this direction. Nevertheless,
it's difficult to show that in examples, since there's a tradeoff in
completeness and complexity vs. easy to understand examples and most
importantly...time.  ;)
 
Best,
Alex

[flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm's Anaemic Domain Model

[Tim Hoff]

I'm with you Alex.  The gripe seems to be duplication and object 
graphing.  With client/server architecture, this is common place and 
often unavoidable. Usually though, this has to do with mapping data 
classes, but business logic always seems to fall into this category 
as well.  My take is that it's all about organization.  Cairngorm is 
not a savior, but rather a sheperd.

The AxisRenderer class has a 'placement' property.  If you explicitly supply 
your own AxisRenderer, you can set the placement appropriately:

 

 

LineChart

   horizontalAxisRenderer

   AxisRenderer placement=top /

[flexcoders] Re: Some Thoughts and examples on making Custom Flex Charts simpler.

[richmcgillicuddy]

Nice examples Ely. You are a charting magician. A couple of small
comments:

1. In the Basic Drawing API. If I move the right slider and then
increment the Top spin edit box, it pops an error.
2. The comment screen is great but there is no close box. 


While I think it is great that you are providing these examples, I can
see it generating even more questions (what I think your trying to
slow down). Just the comment stuff alone, I can think of 10+
variations on what someone would want.


Great work.

The command should fire six new events for the reason you specified.
The result of each lookup should go into a class in your model. When
all the results are done, the class in the model then calculates the
final result. The class has fields for all the intermediate results,
and every time that a new result is recieved, the class checks  to see
if all the results are there. If they are,  it calculates the new
public result. Note that the intermediate results should not be
public, and should be set using a setter or by function in order to
maximize encapsulation.

Of course this is just one way to do it, but I think it is at least
and example of a clean way to handle something like this.

Hank

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm Newbie Question - Please set me straight

[Douglas McCarroll]

Hi Steve,

I'm going to take a stab at this as I've been studying the Command 
pattern (as defined in GoF) and Cairngorm lately. In fact I'll be 
presenting on the subject here in Boston tomorrow evening, so this is 
right up my alley. (www.bfpug.us)  :-)

  how do you handle 6 different results since there is only 1
  onResult function.

I think that the answer here is you don't.  :-)

Cairngorm has a SequenceCommand which has:

public var nextEvent : CairngormEvent;

You can then call its executeNextCommand() from your result() method 
which launches that event.

This will work well enough if you need results from command_1 before you 
make the service call in command_2, which you need before command_3, etc.

On the other hand, if that's not the case, what to do?

The Gang Of Four chapter on the Command pattern describes a MacroCommand 
that executes a number of (Simple)Commands. As described it seems to 
simply fire them off, one after another. Wouldn't be hard to roll your 
own, extending ICommand, with an array property, and passing in Command 
objects.

I could even see creating an MacroEvent class that kept track of whether 
its Commands had finished and that then did something when all were 
finished.

Other Cairngorm programmers, wiser than I, will probably ask you wise 
questions about why you wish to pull data from six different data 
sources...  :-)

First, I have never seen examples or discussion of Cairngorm that

I'm not sure you'd want your model to be very more complex.


Really? Maybe it's my upbringing but I seem to want this a lot. In  
particular, when you want to model relationships and connections  
between objects other than a simple containment type relationship. Or  
when you want to describe objects with behaviour rather than only data.



Second, and more importantly, pretty much all the logic of Cairngorm
apps seems to reside in the Command and Delegate classes with not
much to speak about in the actual model. It seems to be the Commands
that end up manipulating the application data directly, and I'm a
little uncomfortable with this.


I think it's a good idea to stick all the logic in once obvious  
place, and
then have that change the model, which uses data binding to make  
things

change in the view.


Seems to me that the one obvious place for logic related to the  
business domain is in the model. Not that commands aren't a good  
idea; and I have no problem with using binding to update the view.  
That's not really the issue. The issue is encapsulation of business  
logic and guidelines for architecting the distributed domain model.

[flexcoders] WPF/E CTP Released

[John C. Bland II]

I don't know if anyone posted this or not but WPF/E CTP was released.

Here's my take:
http://blogs.katapultmedia.com/jb2/2006/12/wpfe_ctp_is_availableheres_my.html
.

Excerpt:
Other than the no-autoinstall, I looked over the examples and have nothing
bad to say. For a first shot at this market AND for a CTP release, cudos
Microsoft. I didn't expect to see a page flip effect, hover thumbnails, VIDEO
(!!), etc. I'm impressed.

[flexcoders] Re: FDS - class cast exception - lazy loading relationship

[thunderstumpgesatwork]

I have tried to submit this as a defect, because as far as I can tell,
it is. The bug report form is very lacking though! It said my
description had to be less than 2000 characters, which isn't enough to
provide the trace information, or the Hibernate/FDMS mappings, and
then I trimmed and trimmed my bug report to 1931 characters and it
STILL wouldn't let me submit it... (last time I checked, 1931 was less
than 2000)... so I yanked out MORE useful information until I could
get it to submit.

Does anyone at Adobe want to get the full scoop on this issue? Here it is!

Please let me know if this has been captured, and if it is a known defect.

thanks,
Thunder

 Guys,
 
 I'm having more troubles with FDS... seems like there's some internal
 exception lurking around every corner...
 
 Here's a simple managed relationship between an applicationConfig and
 a Set of dashboards. The relationship is lazy, and when a dashboard is
 accessed I get the expected ItemPendingError but then immediately
 afterwards I get this java class-cast-exception on the server.
 
 I can load the dashboards separately, but when accessed across the
 relationship I get this error. Below is the relationship from the
 data-management-config, and my Hibernate relationship mapping, and the
 exception and debug trace follow that. 
 
 Thanks for any help you can provide. Is this a defect?

[flexcoders] Re: Web Services authentication

[h8me4everplus1]

What you're doing is calling a webservice method called
setUsernamePassword, and passing that method 2 parameters, so unless
you have a method called setUsernamePassword on your webservice,
nothing will happen, however, you aren't even able to access the
webservice because I don't think you've defined the username and
password in either the http header or the uri.

To keep it simple, try something like this with your wsdl definition:

myService.wsdl =
'http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/service/?wdsl';

myService.load();

if you're using NetConnection, then just try the same URI for the
connect() function.

I think there is a class that would secure identification through http
headers, Flex is vast...

Check out the docs.

I would suggest sending the value as a string instead of a long, and
do a type conversion from the string to long afterwards and just place

RE: [flexcoders] SWF Meta Data

[Roger Gonzalez]

Because Flex always creates a root class for the SWF, the [SWF] metadata
must be attached to (i.e. immediately before) the root class definition.
 
The parameters may not be documented, as they're pretty much intended
for code generated by the compiler from MXML source.  End users are
encouraged to use the compiler flags (i.e. on the command line) to set
the values for AS, or to use root tag attributes from MXML.
 
(For what its worth, I think you have the entire set we support at the
moment.)

RE: [flexcoders] removeNamespace() and the default namespace in XML

[Peter Farland]

I've found that removeNamespace() doesn't work if there are existing
attributes or elements using that namespace... have you tried first
deleting any of these and then tried to remove the namespace? Also, when
you're calling removeNamespace, how are you constructing the Namespace
instance to pass in to the function?

Subject: [flexcoders] removeNamespace() and the default namespace in XML



Hello,

I realize this topic was covered a bit in a thread titled Namespace
hell, however I didn't see a resolution to a lingering question. Is
there any way to use the removeNamespace() method of the XML class to
remove the default namespace (the namespace without a prefix)?

I would like to do this, because i have an object heirarchy which
represents an unstructured XML document (not a recordset). In
serializing the object structure, the new XML can get littered with
namespace declares, it would be easier to simply remove the original
default namespace and be done with it. Name collisions are not a
concern for me, but the fact that removeNamespace() doesn't work with
the default namespace is. Is there an answer other than RegEx on the
xml string?

Cheers,
Steve



 

[flexcoders] Re: Need Help...Passing data from datagrid to database

[ben.clinkinbeard]

I think in most cases, reading from a DataGrid is unnecessary and I
would recommend against it. Instead, you should iterate over the
DataGrid's dataProvider to access the data. The exact syntax for that
will depend on what you're using as your dataProvider, but assuming
its an ArrayCollection or XMLListCollection you should be able to just
use a for each loop and make your HTTPService calls from there.

HTH,
Ben

Re: [flexcoders] Re: need strategy for filtering ArrayCollections in a Cairngorm app

[Rick Schmitty]

To dig up an old thread... How would you go about this if you had a
component that you wanted to reuse for different views of the data
that could be filtered additionally by that view?

I've run into a similar problem Tom had where the filterFunction is
passed along or overwritten.  It seems my only choice (good or bad?)
is to have all possible filtering functions in the component and pass
the component some logic on which to use for its 'base' data in
addition to any user filter applied on the already filtered 'base'
data set

[flexcoders] Re: TitleWindow Component...help!

[qnotemedia]

Well - what I've done, after finding a titlewindow example on cflex, 
is create a public variable in the titlewindow component of the same 
name as one in the application, and I send it to the component from 
the main app AND back via the title window's instance variable.  i.e.:

TitleWindow Component:

[Bindable]
public var aListOfData:ArrayCollection;

private function sendData():void {
- runs when you click submit in titlewindow
  var compilation:Obect = new Object;
  compilation.setting1 = something in component;
  aListOfData.addItem(compilation);  (or setItemAt, etc)
}


Main Application looks like this:

[Bindable]
private var aListofData:ArrayCollection;

private function openComponent():void {
   - runs when you click open window in the main app
  var openingWindowblah blah, opening the TitleWindow;
  openingWindow.aListOfData = aListOfData;
}


OK - so those variable names are random thoughts off the top of my 
head, bu you get the picture.  From what I understand, this doesn't 
follow the idea behind loosely coupled components, but is there 
anything really wrong with this methodology?  It seems to work very 
well in my case.  I can even have a window within a window, all 
passing variables between windows, all the way down to the main app 
quite easily, and so far its been a breeze to setup.

Thoughts anyone?  If I continue down this path, where will I start to 
run into problems?

RE: [flexcoders] Returning values from objects on another canvas

[Tracy Spratt]

And to beat a horse that might not be quite dead yet, if the problem IS
with the deferred instantiation of the container, then the best solution
is as Lach outlines in the first paragraph: update a data model
somewhere accessible, then bind the viewstack children's components to
that model.  Avoid solving the problem using creationPolicy.

Hi,

 

There are a couple of different issues here.

 

First, why do you need to get a reference to the other view? If it is in
order to access or manipulate the data therein, the better approach is
to bind both views into some dataProvider and manipulate the data
through that.

 

Second, the reason you can't address the sub-components at compile time
is that they are not part of the canvas class (they are children of your
instance). Notwithstanding the above paragraph, if you still need to
access them this way, you might want to define your own subclass
component with these child properties, so Flex Builder can find them at
compile time.

 

Finally, just a guess but perhaps dgselectedOptions is null at runtime
because at the time your function is executing, that component has not
yet been initialised. Check the creationPolicy of the tab navigator.

 

Cheers,

Lach

Using csAttendee.dgselectedOptions gives me an error when I try to

If I try Attendees.csAttendee.dgselectedOptions gives me Access of

If I try just dgselectedOptions it compiles, but when I click my

[flexcoders] RadioButtons in DataGrid

[Roman Protsiuk]

Hi.

I'm trying to use RadioButtons in DataGrid to select some row. One of
data entries that populate DataGrid is already selected. Say we've got
dataProvider of entries {someData : Object, selected : Boolean}. One
of entries has selected == true others are false.
The DataGrid itself is in ViewStack. When I switch selectedChild the
DataGrid is created and populated with data.
One of columns is RadioButton (item renderer derived from
RadioButton). I override data setter and in it set selected property
for this RadioButton depending on data set.
The problem is -- RadioButtons are always DEselected after creation.
Is there any way to make one of those RadioButtons selected?

Below is simple example that demonstrates the problem.

RadioButtonItemRenderer.as:
package {

import mx.controls.RadioButton;

public class RadioButtonItemRenderer extends RadioButton {

public override function set data(value : Object) : void {
selected = Boolean(value);
super.data = value;
}

}
}

RadioButtonsInDataGrid.mxml:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Need Help...Passing data from datagrid to database

[Tracy Spratt]

Yes, and I'll go a step further.  Reading from a DataGrid directly is
practically impossible.

 

What is your back-end platform, the target of your HTTPService call?

 

I think I would not advise a separate call for each row, though
HTTPService seems very fast and this will probably work ok.  But it just
feels wrong to torture the internet connection like that. Instead,
build an xml string that has the necessary information to build the
(SQL?) insert or update queries fo all the rows, post that to the
HTTPService, and on the server, either build that SQL query or even call
parameterized stored procedures.

 

I have even built the SQL itself in Flex and just passed it through the
business tier to the database.  This method has potential performance
and security issues however.

I think in most cases, reading from a DataGrid is unnecessary and I
would recommend against it. Instead, you should iterate over the
DataGrid's dataProvider to access the data. The exact syntax for that
will depend on what you're using as your dataProvider, but assuming
its an ArrayCollection or XMLListCollection you should be able to just
use a for each loop and make your HTTPService calls from there.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: TitleWindow Component...help!

[Tracy Spratt]

I am slowly becoming comfortable with using event driven functionality,
so this opinion is only that.

 

However, the primary benefit of loose coupling is re-usability, and
maybe maintainability, in the sense that it will be easier to drop-in
replacement parts. (any others, anyone?).  But event code is a little
harder to write read and debug than straight calls to directly
referenced members.  If you are reasonably sure what you are building
will not need to be re-used, then there may be little benefit in the
effort to gain loose coupling.

 

So wrong? No. Best practice? It depends.  Think ahead.

Hi Rick,
 
I havn't read the complete thread below, but since you're saying you're
working in a Cairngorm app, to me this looks like functionality that
should live in either one or multiple model object(s), instead of the
view. The view could just bind to a property (some collection) of that
model and update it via encapuslated API requests aka commands. Would
that work for you?
 
Best,

To dig up an old thread... How would you go about this if you had a
component that you wanted to reuse for different views of the data
that could be filtered additionally by that view?

I've run into a similar problem Tom had where the filterFunction is
passed along or overwritten. It seems my only choice (good or bad?)
is to have all possible filtering functions in the component and pass
the component some logic on which to use for its 'base' data in
addition to any user filter applied on the already filtered 'base'
data set

Perhaps I'm going about it the wrong way. I've modified Paul's example

A few things: first, you'll have to call preventDefault() on your

handler so that the DataGrid shows the correct feedback allowing items

[flexcoders] Design Pattern/Best Practices for generic record 'list' and 'detail' view Component

[Steve Hindle]

Hi All,

  I'm trying to create a component to use as an example or 'template'
of how to achieve a record list and detail view in flex.  I'm starting
with a simple 'contact' record (model) that has name, address, phone,
email, etc.  The list of records is held in _dataProvider, and the
specific record to be displayed in the detail view is held in _model.
My goal is to have a nice clean skeleton of how to handle this sort of
display.

  My component is a viewstack with 2 views:
   View 0: a datagrid displaying summary info of a list of records
   (title, first, last). Double click on an entry should
open it in the
   'detail' view.  dataProvider is bound to _dataProvider, an
   arrayCollection.
   View 1: a custom component that displays all my model fields.
   It has a 'model' property that is used to set the
record to be displayed.
  model is a single static instance of my record type, and
all fields in the
  view are bound to it ( eg text='{_model.last_name}' )

  The logic for the component is pretty simple:
 1. Initial view is determined by _dataProvider.length
 2. if _dataProvider.length = 1, default to 'detail' view of that record
 3. if _dataProvider.length  2, default to 'list' view
 4. if _dataProvider.length = 0, add a new empty record and
default to 'detail'
view to allow data entry.

This mostly works - however, I run into 'odd' problems with
dataBinding and Initialization, etc.  As my script gets cruftier with
all sorts of special case logic, and
manually poking stuff to get dataBindings updated, I wonder if perhaps
others have a better Design Pattern or template for this ??

I'd appreciate any feedback...

This does look like a bug that will occur when you have

It is an easy fix - we are just casting to a List in a couple of places

[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] Extending Flex Web Services with WS-Security (WSS4J)

[Jamie O]

WS-Security is not supported by Flex out of the box. Has anyone
tackled this, or if not could someone give a high-level view of how
they might accomplish this? I can't seem to create a user in the Adobe
forums to post it to find out if this might be added in upcoming
support point release???

My thoughts on topic:
1) Manual creation of the SOAP Headers will not work because the token
has a set expiration time based on timestamp, username, password.
Building that logic up in the client app would expose the credentials
in the .swf.

2) Using Axis to create a proxy of the true WS-Secure web service
might be viable, but seems dumb to create a web service wrapper for an
already exposed web service. Plus, my knowledge on the java side is
limited and the googles on Eclipse WTP and doing this haven't yielded
much more than a headache.

3) With the FDS Plugin facet for Eclipse WTP in theory I can code both
java and mxml / as3 into one. If that is the case could I write a
component (SecureWS) to extend mx.rpc.soap.WebService to add the WSS4J
functionality I'm after. The user / pass parameters would then be
stored as part of the named proxy service on FDS. Everything secure
and connective.

Also something I'd happily share back to the community if I can get
some help on how I'd tackle #3.

Thx,
Jamie

[Thread History]
In a previous thread that was in danger of being fragmented, Seth
Hodgson wrote, WSSAddUsernameToken is part of the WSS4J API that
implements the OASIS WS-Security spec. The Flex web service stack on
the client doesn't currently support WS-Security out of the box, but
WS-Security is based on SOAP headers and you could probably build
these manually. Perhaps someone on the list has tackled this and has
code to share?

It was in response to my question, One of the next web services I'm
looking to integrate uses a username / password to create token via
WSSAddUsernameToken. Its package is org.apache.ws.security.message. Or
so the co-worker who has built connectivity to that out through J2EE
tells me.
 
Each client system connects with it's own user / pass combo. So I
believe I should be able to write these into the named proxy web
service connection (having issue with that also, put a separate post
out for it) on FDS to be secure.

[flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm Newbie Question - Please set me straight

[stevehousefl]

Douglas (and all),

Since they are not dependent on each other, I went with just having a
single command fire 6 new events.  I will look into the MacroCommand
though.

As far as the 6 different datasources, it is not.  Perhaps this is
incorrect, but I have a business delegate for each lookup table and a
service (remote object) for each Coldfusion component that I am
talking to.

For example:

My EVENT_LOAD_CONTROL_PANEL executes the LoadControlPanelDataCommand
The LoadControlPanelDataCommand fires the EVENT_READ_ALL_QUEUES (and 5
other events)
The EVENT_READ_ALL_QUEUES executes the ReadAllQueuesCommand
The ReadAllQueuesCommand creates a QueueDelegate and executes
QueueDelegate.readAllQueues()
The QueueDelegate creates an instance of the ServiceLocator and
executes .getRemoteObject(queueService)
The queueService is configures in Services.mxml as 

mx:RemoteObject
id=queueService
destination=ColdFusion
source=CF.queueHandler
showBusyCursor=true 
result=event.token.resultHandler( event );
fault=event.token.faultHandler( event );/

Does this make sense

 Cairngorm has a SequenceCommand which has:

 You can then call its executeNextCommand() from your result() method

[flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm Newbie Question - Please set me straight

[stevehousefl]

Douglas (and all),

Since they are not dependent on each other, I went with just having a
single command fire 6 new events.  I will look into the MacroCommand
though.

As far as the 6 different datasources, it is not.  Perhaps this is
incorrect, but I have a business delegate for each lookup table and a
service (remote object) for each Coldfusion component that I am
talking to.

For example:

My EVENT_LOAD_CONTROL_PANEL executes the LoadControlPanelDataCommand
The LoadControlPanelDataCommand fires the EVENT_READ_ALL_QUEUES (and 5
other events)
The EVENT_READ_ALL_QUEUES executes the ReadAllQueuesCommand
The ReadAllQueuesCommand creates a QueueDelegate and executes
QueueDelegate.readAllQueues()
The QueueDelegate creates an instance of the ServiceLocator and
executes .getRemoteObject(queueService)
The queueService is configures in Services.mxml as 

mx:RemoteObject
id=queueService
destination=ColdFusion
source=CF.queueHandler
showBusyCursor=true 
result=event.token.resultHandler( event );
fault=event.token.faultHandler( event );/

Does this make sense

Thanks,

Steve

 Cairngorm has a SequenceCommand which has:
 
 public var nextEvent : CairngormEvent;
 
 You can then call its executeNextCommand() from your result() method 
 which launches that event.
 
 This will work well enough if you need results from command_1 before
you 
 make the service call in command_2, which you need before command_3,
etc.
 
 On the other hand, if that's not the case, what to do?

Re: [flexcoders] removeNamespace() and the default namespace in XML

[Steve Hagenlock]

Hi Peter,

Peter wrote:
 I've found that removeNamespace() doesn't work if there are existing 
attributes or elements using that namespace

I suppose that every element in the file uses the namespace, since it is 
the default namespace, ie:
xmlns=http://path.to.com/someplace;

Here's how I'm removing the namespace, rather,  trying to:
where myXML:XML is a parsed XML document

for (var i:uint = 0; i  
myXML.namespaceDeclarations().length; i++) {
var ns:Namespace = myXML.namespaceDeclarations()[i];
var prefix:String = ns.prefix;
myXML.removeNamespace(ns);
  }

As an example, I have two namespaces at the root of my document 
declared.  One is a custom namespace with a prefix (and no elements use 
it) - this one is removed.  The other is the default namespace, without 
a prefix, this one sticks around.

 Subject: [flexcoders] removeNamespace() and the default namespace in XML



 Hello,

 I realize this topic was covered a bit in a thread titled Namespace
 hell, however I didn't see a resolution to a lingering question. Is
 there any way to use the removeNamespace() method of the XML class to
 remove the default namespace (the namespace without a prefix)?

 I would like to do this, because i have an object heirarchy which
 represents an unstructured XML document (not a recordset). In
 serializing the object structure, the new XML can get littered with
 namespace declares, it would be easier to simply remove the original
 default namespace and be done with it. Name collisions are not a
 concern for me, but the fact that removeNamespace() doesn't work with
 the default namespace is. Is there an answer other than RegEx on the
 xml string?

 Cheers,
 Steve



  

   

[flexcoders] Swapping components but keeping a single ID

[Troy Rollins]

I notice that Flex won't allow me to identify multiple components with
the same ID, even if those components are in different view states. I
had hoped to reference a single ID no matter which component was there
(all the components implement a single interface.)

So, how can I maintain a single component reference for my AS to work
with, no matter which of these components are on stage? Is it possible
in MXML, or do I need to come up with an AS-only solution?

[flexcoders] Example in Adobe® Flex™ 2 Language Reference doesn't compile....

Wow, that is weird -
 
When I replied to this thread, I could have sworn that I saw the other
Mike's e-mail addy embedded in the original post.  It's probably because
I had another e-mail that I was in the process of composing, right next
to this one - and subconsciously, filled in his information.
 
Also, I did check out the other link you referred to - and YES it is in
fact a different grid altogether.  I just visited the link, and it does
look quite interesting.  It's just odd to find another grid control out
there, and have the company take the same name of an already established
control.
 
Anyway - sorry about the confusion - I have a lot on my mind these days
:(
 
Take care everybody,

You probably never heard of Janus, because it's created for .NET or the
Visual Studio suite of products from Microsoft - which has nothing to do
with Flex or Adobe.

If you are looking for a nice Grid component for .NET then YES Janus
makes the best one in my opinion. I've been using the Janus Grid for
about 8 years now - and would put it up against the Farpoint one as well
as the Sheridan Controls one. It's been a while since I looked at the 2
alternate Grids I just mentioned, so they may not even go under that
name any longer.

One cool thing about Janus too, is that ONE developer created it, and
also supports his product. I really love it when a single person has so
much talent, that they can make a living off of 1 or 2 well written
components (just like Michael Schmalle, who created the Flex Sizing
component). Anyway, I think the Janus guy resides in Australia, or some
other country other than the USA - but he's very easy to contact, and
very nice to work with.

Just my 2 cents...

Mike

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm Newbie Question - Please set me straight

[hank williams]

Steve,

You definitely shoud not have a business delegate for every lookup
table. I dont really understand the detail of what you explained in
your email, but communications between a client and a server should
never be as granular as mapping just directly to a table. Think of
communications with a server as asking high level questions like, who
are my top spending customers this month. This might require access
to several tables. This calculation work should be done on the server
and the results should then be delivered from the server to the
client. The client should generally not be taking the results of
several table searches and intersecting, joining, merging or anything
of the sort. That is really server side work.

Regards,
Hank

My application is relatively simple:

[flexcoders] HTTPService POST with request parameters

[Todd Breiholz]

I am trying to post an XML payload to an HTTPService that has
additional request parameters (e.g.
http://www.mysite.com/get?o=sponsora=save).

I created my HTTPService as such:

mx:HTTPService
id=getSponsor
method=POST
resultFormat=e4x
result=getResultOK(event)
fault=getResultFault(event)
url=http://www.mysite.com/get
mx:request
osponsor/o
aput/a
/mx:request
/mx:HTTPService

And call it like this:

   private function addSponsor():void {
   getSponsor.send(sponsorModel);
   }

With sponsorModel:
mx:Model id=sponsorModel
sponsor
id{txtId}/id
name{tiName}/name
imageUrl{tiImageUrl}/imageUrl
linkUrl{tiLinkUrl}/linkUrl
/sponsor
/mx:Model

It looks like the request parameters are not being sent (I am not
seeing them on the server). Is this supported in Flex 2?

Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: ListBase.as getting called after Drop to Datagrid--Preventing the Drop???

Thanks so much!!!  It was the lack of event.preventDefault() that was
causing the problems.  Once I added that into all my handlers the
drag-and-drop worked like a charm!!!

Re: [flexcoders] Extending Flex Web Services with WS-Security (WSS4J)

[Sebastian Zarzycki]

WS-Security is not supported by Flex out of the box. Has anyone
tackled this, or if not could someone give a high-level view of how
they might accomplish this? I can't seem to create a user in the Adobe
forums to post it to find out if this might be added in upcoming
support point release???


I was asking about the same not so long ago, as I think this is very 
important issue to resolve - sooner
or later in *real* app, you will face authorization problem with 
webservices.




My thoughts on topic:
1) Manual creation of the SOAP Headers will not work because the token
has a set expiration time based on timestamp, username, password.
Building that logic up in the client app would expose the credentials
in the .swf.


I don't know if I understood you correctly - are you sure about the 
exposure?
If the user and password credentials are put by user dynamically at 
runtime, are credentials unsafe then?

They are dynamically stored, so you cannot decompile it? Or can you?

We're currently exploring this way, trying to add custom headers to 
webservice..



2) Using Axis to create a proxy of the true WS-Secure web service
might be viable, but seems dumb to create a web service wrapper for an
already exposed web service. Plus, my knowledge on the java side is
limited and the googles on Eclipse WTP and doing this haven't yielded
much more than a headache.
I agree, this solution looks bad to me also. Webservices shouldn't be 
hidden.


I don't want to promote anything, but ... just don't use Axis for 
webservices on java serverside. :)
Try xfire. We are using it in our third project now, and I enjoy the 
performance and elegance of this solution. If you want
WTP-like support for Eclipse, try MyEclipseIDE, as it has newest xfire 
support bundled and working very well.




3) With the FDS Plugin facet for Eclipse WTP in theory I can code both
java and mxml / as3 into one. If that is the case could I write a
component (SecureWS) to extend mx.rpc.soap.

WebService to add the WSS4J
functionality I'm after. The user / pass parameters would then be
stored as part of the named proxy service on FDS. Everything secure
and connective.

Also something I'd happily share back to the community if I can get
some help on how I'd tackle #3.



We're not using Flex Data Services, just plain WS, but I'd love to help 
with mxml/as3 implementation (extending soap) or testing

on clientside, as this is top priority for my current project right now.

RE: [flexcoders] is there a sample to update/delete records in a database server through webservice?

[Tracy Spratt]

The way to get data into the server is the same as the way to get it
out: Call a web service operation/method and pass the data to it.

 

How that is handled on the server depends on the implementation of the
web service. 

 

It is easy to sample get data from a server, but to have an example of
saving data on a server, you would need to own the server.

Correct, the model data is getting there, but not the querystring

I also noticed about the mx:objects in the post. It was an error and I was
getting really screwy data on the server. I've since changed the bindings to
point to the text property of the objects and the post body is being sent
correctly (I also had to add contentType=application/xml to my

After making those changes, I am still seeing the same behavior as before

The server platform is ATG (Java servlet based). When I try to extract the 2
request parameters, I get null for both of them.

RE: [flexcoders] HTTPService POST with request parameters

[Tracy Spratt]

Then this syntax:

mx:request
osponsor/o
aput/a
/mx:request

Attempts to put those two name-value parameters in the request object,
which is now application/xml, which, well, isn't what you want.

 

Instead, try concatenating the querystring directly on the url before
you send().

RE: [flexcoders] HTTPService POST with request parameters

[Jeff Vroom]

Possibly the issue is due to the fact that you have both query string
parameters and POST data parameters in the same request.  I think that
ATG used to have a bug where the query parameters are not returned by
the getParameter method if the request has method=POST.  They expose
another method on the DynamoHttpServletRequest called
getQueryParameter which will always return the query parameters.  I
vaguely recall that bug got fixed at some point but it has been a long
time since I worked for ATG.

 

One nice thing about ATG is that if you do a toString on the request
object, it dumps out all of the state of the request.  That might be a
way to ensure that the query parameters are at least making it to the
server in the URL.

Re: [flexcoders] AMFPHP / databinding nested arrays

Hmmm, why exactly are you sending nested arrays from amfphp? Why can't 
you just send a flat array?

Patrick

carkraus a écrit :

 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! !

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm's Anaemic Domain Model

[Ralf Bokelberg]

Though Cairngorm doesn't prevent you from creating rich models, i think it
fits better for this kind of crud application with a rather flat model. In
fact the model is  little more than a cache of serverside objects. User
gesture, update cached objects, update view.
If i was to implement a rich model, i would let the model handle the backend
directly and make the controller a real frontcontroller, which maps
usergestures to model method calls. You could still use cairngorm framework,
it's just a slight shift of responsibilities.

Steven,

Could you let us know what you use on your back end?  e.g. Java, ColdFusion,

If we know what you use for backend logic we can better suggest samples that
include update/delete logic.

btw ... for ColdFusion, Flex Builder 2 includes wizards that can read your
SQL database's schema and automatically generate the necessary Flex and
ColdFusion code to the SQL DML (Data Modification Language, i.e. INSERT,
UPDATE and DELETE).

btw #2 ... as Tracy suggested, there is no problem doing update or delete
through a webservice.  Personally, I prefer mx:RemoteObject, but
mx:WebService should work just as good.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2: FDS Freezes Flash player before responders get called

[Jeff Vroom]

I'm not sure how large very large is but it is certainly possible to
give the client too much work to cause this type of problem.  The
createItem call will end up serializing the object which makes a
complete copy of it.  If you have managed associations, there could be
additional work as it has to create the child objects as well.

 

One way to get an idea of what is going on is to enable the debug
logging on the client side:  mx:TraceTarget/, use the debug player,
and look in flashlog.txt in your home directory for the output.   That
hopefully will make things even slower, but hopefully the trace log will
show some evidence of what is taking so long.   If that does not show
anything, if you can get us a test case I'd be interested to take a look

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex 2: FDS Freezes Flash player before responders
get called

 

I am calling dataService.createItem() a very large Object graph. After I
call commit, and my responder is called. the client flash player freezes
(browser stops responding, cpu utiliziaiton at 100%) for about 8-10
seconds. I am releasing the itemReference from the createItem() call in
the responder. Does anybody have any idea how to debug this problem or
figure out what is causing it.

thanks,
JB

Hi,

If it was not encoded with metadata why not inject that metadata with
FLVTool2?
If there is no metadata you will not be able to get the duration. Another
possibility would be to use the print command of FLVTool2 to determine the
duration instead of injecting it.

Cheers,
Sönke

 again, only works if the flv was encoded correctly with the metadata

   Is there an easy way to figure out the duration of an FLV 
   thati s being played? I have been looking at the NetStream 
   object and the onMetaData event, but it seems like the FLV 
   does not always have the metadata set. The FLVs I want to 
   play are created my other people, so there is no way to force 
   them to add the metadata. is there any way to easily get 
 around this?
