hello greg h

if (Connect_btn.label == Connect ){
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.objectEncoding = flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0;
nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,

I placed phone.flv file in applications/videodisplay
directory .When I debug this application , these codes caught all cases
decleared in ncStatusHandler and netStatusHandler function .However ,
the surprisingthing is phone.flv couldn't be played .I saw phone.flv was

[flexcoders] Howto dynamicly bind XML element to a TextInput component using BindingUtils?
The question is: Howto dynamicly bind XML element to a TextInput
component using BindingUtils?
Now I use following codes:
!--
[Bindable] private var xml: XML = itemlabellist1/label/item;
// initialize code for application's initialize event
private function init(): void {
BindingUtils.bindProperty(txtDemo, text, xml, label);
}
//click event
private function test(): void {
xml.label = something;
// txtDemo.executeBindings(); // no use anymore
}
--
mx:TextInput id=txtDemo/
mx:Button label=Test click=test()/
//--
My really idea is when bindable xml property is changed, then the
textinput will be updated as hoped. However, no update happens to me
when I click the Test button.
But, if I make codes like that:
mx: TextInput id=txtDemo text={xml.label}/
the text will updated when xml changs.
So, what happened, I indeed need the dynamicly bind to the textinput
compont.
Help me. thanks.

[flexcoders] Reload detection of a flex application
Hi, Is there any reliable way to detect a full reload of a Flex app (after a browser reload button click or a back/return for example). It seems possible, with RemoteObject, to use the incremented response prefix on an AMF3 body (/1, /2, ..., /n, then /1... again after a reload). But is it really reliable ? The point is to know, on server side, that the client has lost all cached informations. Thanks for any hints, Franck.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Will Microsoft's new Silverlight Player Kill our beloved Flex ?
Ummm no IE does not work on the Mac, the last few versions were awful and barely worked. MS hasn't been developing it in at least 2 years, maybe three. They stopped supporting it over a year ago. Everybody uses Windows, almost all the workstations are windows. Macs have IE working OK. The better solution was a cross plataform solution, that's why I've been working with Flex.
[flexcoders] Re: Will Microsoft's new Silverlight Player Kill our beloved Flex ?
I think you are right that .NET support should be there, although I am not a .NET developer and probably never will be. I wonder if Microsoft could develop this solution? In theory they would have the best resources to understand .NET and enough people have figured out the protocols used in FDS that they should be able to develop this. Anyway, the big flaw in your argument is that Adobe doesn't need to built the solution when there is one on the market already.

[flexcoders] Constant curve using LineChart
Hi Folks! I have a LineChart graph and i need to add two constant curves to show when my data exceeds maximum and minimum values. My original curve is a function y=f(x) and what I want is to draw two adicional curves such as y=K1 y=K2 where K1 and K2 are constant. I want to avoid to repeat K1 and K2 in my data provider for each data in the original series. Best Regards Manuel Villarroel.
[flexcoders] Re: Reload detection of a flex application
Forgive me if I am wrong... But wouldn't the CreationComplete event be triggered on the application if a refresh or back/return has been done at the client side? If that is so, you would probably want to reload your cached information.

The point is to know, on server side, that the client has lost all cached informations. Thanks for any hints, Franck.

4. Make the DataGrid editable and give it a dataProvider and at
least
one column.
5. Add itemEditEnd event.
6. Have the listener method fire an Alert.show( test)
7. close the Custom Control.
8. Create a mx:Script section in the main app.
9. create a private var (x) that is an instance of the Custom
Control.
10. Add initialize event.
11. Have the listener assign x = new Custom Control Name()
12. addChild(x)
Run the program and edit a column (making itemEditEnd fire). If done
correctly, the Alert.show() will result in a large stack dump and an
undefined error.
My question is: Is this my fault? What did I do wrong?

[flexcoders] Rotation transition - looking for help
Hi, I have a view stack with a bubble chart on one page and a set of controls (sliders etc) on another. At the moment I have a button which causes one or the other to be shown and the user can switch back and forth. What I am looking for is a sexy transition between the two. Ideally I would have the whole display rotate around a vertical line in the middle of the screen so that it apears that the user is looking at the back of the display when they are using the controls. Anyone care to give me a pointer about how I go about this? I have been looking at the rotate effect and transitions but am struggling to make head or tail of it. What I could do with is a good sample of something similar. I am hoping I don;t have to write a huge amount of custom effect code, although I will go there if necessary. Thanks Simon

[flexcoders] Programatic Icon
Would anyone know if there is a way to create an component that can be used as an icon for any component that accepts an icon? For example, TitleWindow accepts a titleIcon. I would like to create an AS3 class that I can instantiate and specify for the TitleWindow's titleIcon. As conditions change in the window, I'd like to be able to make a function call to the icon class and have it update the icon displayed by the TitleWindow. The class would programatically create the icon (i.e., it would not use an embedded asset). Ideally the icon component should be able to be used for any component that accepts an icon. Any idea if this can be done and if so where I should start looking to create such a component? Thanks! Paul
Re: [flexcoders] Programatic Icon
Hi, The simple answer is no. Why? The titleIcon class is of type Class. This class cannot be subclassed. My advice to you is create a subclass of TitleWindow and create the method you are talking about there. Since you cannot load icons at runtime, you could create a simple iconLibraryModule that held your extra icons and then the method you created in the subclass would then load the icons from the icon library on demand through some type of string call into the library. Conclusion, there is no way to create an image like component in components with properties of type Class. In my custom window, I wrap the icon in a UIComponent, this way when I am rendering the icon, I have 2 options. The icon property is the 'source' but not the actual instance that is manipulated in the component UI.

Or are View related events (or any other events in that matter) supposed to be Cairngorm events too? And on top of that, how do you (Cairngorm users out there) give your other events a place in your structure?

[flexcoders] Re: Module GC question
To be honest I couldn't tell you why it was causing the issue. As for your problem, all the documentation I have seen on using the GC hack says that it is just that a hack. You're not supposed to be able to trigger GC and as such that it should only be used as a tool in testing. My advice would be to step back for a min and find out what is actually causing the memory leak you're having. At best the GC hack would be a bandaid for the real issue at hand. I realize we all have deadlines to make, but if your memory leak is that bad it would seem to make sense that the greater good would be served by fixing what is causing the leak.

[flexcoders] Re: Can I lookup a div in the html page and hide it from within my Flex app?
No, you can't really do that without using javascript. Have you looked at CSS, it sounds like you want a css selector to set the display to none on objects @allowNetworking='all'... I think even to do that you'll need some javascript as I don't think all browsers support that kind of selector. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, wdsnapper [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, Can someone tell me if it is possible to lookup DOM elements within the web page hosting a flex application?

[flexcoders] Hiding Viewstack elements in a toggleButtonBar dataprovider
Good morning all, I am working on a project that requires some level permissions. I have a main viewstack that I call viewController and theres some elements in there. One of them in a Admin view that I would like to hide if the user doesnt have those permissions. I am struggling a little bit on how to do this, the visible property doesnt remove the viewstack element from the dataprovider when its set to false. Any suggestions that may lead me down the right path is appreciated. Thanks, Josh
Re: [flexcoders] Programatic Icon
I've been able to get it to work for buttons and the like by extending ProgrammaticSkin and passing in the class. I've never even used the icon on a TitleWindow to even know how it's supposed to work. It should work, because everything is a class, but it might not know what to do with it. Paul Michael Schmalle wrote: Hi, The simple answer is no. Why? The titleIcon class is of type Class. This class cannot be subclassed. My advice to you is create a subclass of TitleWindow and create the method you are talking about there. Since you cannot load icons at runtime, you could create a simple iconLibraryModule that held your extra icons and then the method you created in the subclass would then load the icons from the icon library on demand through some type of string call into the library. Conclusion, there is no way to create an image like component in components with properties of type Class. In my custom window, I wrap the icon in a UIComponent, this way when I am rendering the icon, I have 2 options. The icon property is the 'source' but not the actual instance that is manipulated in the component UI.

Re: [flexcoders] Programatic Icon
From what I understand, you want to be able to change the icon based on the state of your window. You can do this by setting the titleIcon property every time your state changes. Internally, the old icon object will be discarded and a new one created from the class specified to the titleIcon property. As for the class, it just needs to implement the IFlexDisplayObject interface, as far as I can remember.

Re: [flexcoders] wmode=transparent : any limitations to expect ?
All mouse related events do not detect modifier keys. This was a painful
issue because our app depended on being able to select multiple items
from a list and that's not possible when control and shift are not
registered on a mouse click. MSIE did not appear to have this
limitation, but sometimes didn't register mouse events at all in some
places in the app. I think that was because invisible html layers
were obscuring them from the mouse event. In time we cleared those up
by cleaning up the CSS for IE. No workarounds yet available for the
mouse issues in other browsers. Other than that I didn't see any other
issues.

[flexcoders] eWeek.com Lead Story: Adobe Flex Open-Source Move
fyi ... The lead story today at eWeek.com is: Adobe Flex Open-Source Move http://www.eweek.com/ (btw, eWeek.com leaves up their Friday lead story as the lead story throughout the weekend) This is GREAT BUZZ ! ! ! Note, the lead story has two parts! Following are permalinks on each: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2123067,00.asp http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2123071,00.asp and, the print as a single page link: http://www.eweek.com/print_article2/0,1217,a=206269,00.asp The second part is the best part. Here are some excerpts from the second part: Mark Driver, an analyst with Gartner, called the move to open-source Flex a big deal, noting that it helps Adobe competitively against incursion by Microsoft. I think it will help head off Silverlight and remove concerns of proprietary nature of Flex in the Web world, he said. Open-source co-creation is a powerful way to build a strong development community, said James Governor, founder of the RedMonk market analysis firm. Adobe's decision to open-source the Flex SDK is a radical move which should attract a new class of developer to the platform. Richard Monson-Haefel, an analyst with Burton Group, says: Flex has been doing well in the market so this is not one of those occasions when a vendor throws their software out to open source as a last ditch effort to save it, he said. In this case, Adobe is being really smart because they know that as an open-source project the Flex SDK is going to evolve more quickly and probably in some directions they had not anticipated. Moreover, Monson-Haefel said Adobe sells an excellent IDE [integrated development environment] in Flex Builder 2. And this open-source move can only help bolster already healthy sales of that product as well as their Enterprise Data Server, he said. Monson-Haefel said that in addition, this move will help Adobe with their Apollo platform. The more people using the Flex framework, the more attractive the Apollo platform. I can't see a down side for Adobe or the development community at all. ... Jeffrey Hammond, an analyst with Forrester, said he sees the battle unfolding between Adobe with Apollo and Flex versus Microsoft with its Silverlight and XAML (Extensible Application markup Language). Additionally, Hammond said he believes the platform ubiquity of Microsoft's WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) versus the potential ubiquity of open source should be a real test of classic models versus new business models in software. Hammond also said that until Adobe announced its open-source plans for Flex, it was one proprietary technology against another, so there was no reason for the standards-based crowd to join either side. Now, the standards crowd has some interesting reasons to join the Adobe camp.

[flexcoders] Re: Find and replace wih regex?
It's too early for XSLT as there are numerous redundant tags. Just to get an idea, there are about 400 tags with at least 3 attributes average, with some of them needed to be combined, smome of them split into several tags, some of them removed, etc. But I found the solution. I will do the initial cleaning with regex, casting the whole XML to String, which so powerfull and fast in AS3 that I couldn't believe it. And then create the final XML output with XML class, do some modifications, etc. Really, with regex what seemed to be a huge problem in the beginning is now a piece of cake. It is still a huge piece, but of cake. I'm basically creating my own XSLT which converts this XML into something that can be renderable in Flash/Flex.

Just an idea - if your XML is coming from the server, perhaps running an XSL transformation on the document would be easier and faster. e

This is a little complex, but I'll try to describe what's

1. Create a new Flex Application.
2. Add a Canvas or whatever and give it an id.
3. Create a new Custom Control that is a DataGrid.
4. Make the DataGrid editable and give it a dataProvider and at
least
one column.
5. Add itemEditEnd event.
6. Have the listener method fire an Alert.show( test)
7. close the Custom Control.
8. Create a mx:Script section in the main app.
9. create a private var (x) that is an instance of the Custom
Control.
10. Add initialize event.
11. Have the listener assign x = new Custom Control Name()
12. addChild(x)
Run the program and edit a column (making itemEditEnd fire).
If done
correctly, the Alert.show() will result in a large stack
dump and an
undefined error.
My question is: Is this my fault? What did I do wrong?

[flexcoders] Re: Programatic Icon
Well here's the deal. I've created an simple icon class that draws a
red square like this:
package components {
import mx.skins.ProgrammaticSkin;
public class Icon extends ProgrammaticSkin {
private var iconColor:uint = 0xFF;
public function Icon() {
super();
}
public function set color(value:uint):void {
iconColor = value;
invalidateDisplayList();
}
override public function get measuredHeight():Number {
return 16;
}
override public function get measuredWidth():Number {
return 16;
}
override protected function
updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void {
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
graphics.beginFill(iconColor, 1);
graphics.drawRect(0, 0, unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
graphics.endFill();
}
}
}
I can place this icon in a Panel like this:
mx:Panel id=myPanel titleIcon={Icon} ...
So far so good -- the red square is drawn in the top left corner of
the title area and it appears that I can call the color setter
function like this:
myPanel.titleIcon.color = 0x00FF00;
But when I do this the icon color never changes. It appears that the
calling invalidateDisplayList() never results in a call to
updateDisplayList().
Any ideas?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Programatic Icon
Ah,
I know why you are not seeing updateDisplayList() called.
Since this is ProgrammaticSkin, if the size doesn't change, the method will
skip. The layoutManager calls setActualSize() and in that call if height or
width did not change, you won't get the call.
I had this same problem.
In your color property, call validateDisplayList(); that will do the trick.

[flexcoders] embedding multiple images programmatically
Hi all, I have an array of image names (of PNGs on my server), and I want to load these all up in an object list of images so I can show them when needed in my application. I've found an oddity where some of these, sometimes, don't load properly for whatever reason and are blank when I need to show them. So I am thinking I should just embed them. But since I have 50+ images, I'd like to run a loop to embed each one, and all the examples of embedding show doing something like: [Embed(source=logo.gif)] [Bindable] public var imgCls:Class; and then mapping to an image. I'd rather not fill up my code with 50 separate variable defines, any easy way to iterate through this? thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: Programatic Icon
Unfortunately that did not work. It looks like the setter is not
really being called after all. When I do this:
myPanel.titleIcon.color = 0x00FF00;
What seems to be happening is that it is creating a property called
color just as if myPanel.titleIcon was a generic Object.
I tried creating a doIconColor function (rather than using a setter)
in Icon and calling it like this:
Icon(myPanel.titleIcon).doIconColor(0xFF00FF);
But this results in an TypeError:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
components::Icon$ to components.Icon.
I can't simply do this:
myPanel.titleIcon.doIconColor(0xFF00FF);
because I get a compile error (call to a possibly undefined method
doIconColor)
So the question now becomes, how do I call a function of my Icon
class? Thanks for any suggestions!

[flexcoders] How to constrain child elements within a flexable parent?
I have a Panel that I have sized to be constrained at 10 pixels top, bottom, left and right so that it is flexible and based on the size of the browser. Inside this I have a VBox that I want to be 100% the width of the Panel. Inside this I have Labels that I want to be 20% of the width of the VBox, so that they are 5 of them evenly spaced across. The text of this label maybe longer then can be displayed within the above constraints, that is fine and I want it to be truncated if it can not fit into the width equal to ~20% of the browser. The trouble is that if I code all the above elements with percentages the labels will expand and push the parent VBox beyond the width of the Panel and I do not want this. How can I constrain the widths of the Labels (or other containers|controls I may want to put at this level) so that it will not expand, without losing the flexibility of the overall design?

Ok, the problem is this;
titleIcon is the setter for the reference to the class that is
creating the
icon.
You need the actual reference to the icon instance.
try this;
import mx.core.mx_internal;
use namespace mx_internal;
myPanel::mx_internal.titleIconObject.color = 0x00FF00;
BTW we all know mx_internal is not supported but it will get you
what you
want. :)

I tried creating a doIconColor function (rather than using a
setter)
in Icon and calling it like this:
Icon(myPanel.titleIcon).doIconColor(0xFF00FF);
But this results in an TypeError:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert

I can't simply do this:
myPanel.titleIcon.doIconColor(0xFF00FF);
because I get a compile error (call to a possibly undefined method
doIconColor)
So the question now becomes, how do I call a function of my Icon
class? Thanks for any suggestions!

I had this same problem.
In your color property, call validateDisplayList(); that will

So far so good -- the red square is drawn in the top left
