[flexcoders] combobox set selecteditem
I've seen a half dozen solutions to this on the internet but somehow they don't
work. Basically
I just want to set the selectedItem of a combobox:
mx:Combobox id=comboboxID dataprovider={httpserv.lastresult.system.data}/
// actionscript which won't work
comboboxID.selectedItem = something;
So then I tried to loop through the comboboxID.dataprovider to find the index
for
something but it won't ever give me the dataprovider strings, instead giving
me errors like
this:
warning: unable to bind to property 'name' on class 'String' (class is not an
IEventDispatcher)
How can I get this working?
Thanks.
[flexcoders] need help in creating states.
I am using caringorm and have two states defined in my main appplication. I am using a currentstate variabe in my model, to define decide which state to make current. The second state has many child componets, and none of these are getting initialised. On debugging found that the code is going through the second state, but returning back without initialising any component. I am following the structure that is being desicussed in anatomy of a enterprise flex RIA. I am using creationPolicy=all in my second state. thanks is advance to anyone who can help me with this issue. thanks, ashok

[flexcoders] Component Broken
Hi, all;
I have a component that was working last week, but on Friday I had a
crash that meant my machine would not reboot, so I had to restore
from the Windows Home Server backup. I thought my machine was back
100% from where it was, but I tried to run some Flex code that worked
last week and it is not working at all today.
The intent of the component is to read in an external xml file and
make it available as a data source in mxml.
package magnoliamultimedia
{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import mx.collections.XMLListCollection;
[Bindable]
[DefaultProperty(xmlData)]
public class XMLLoader extends URLLoader
{
private var _request:URLRequest;
private var _path:String;
private var _xmlData:XMLListCollection;
public function XMLLoader(request:URLRequest=null)
{
super(request);
}
public function get path():String{
return _path;
}
public function set path(path:String):void{
_path = path;
_request = new URLRequest(_path);
this.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
getURLResult, false, 0, true);
this.load(_request);
}
public function get xmlData():XMLListCollection{
return _xmlData;
}
private function getURLResult(e:Event):void{
var resultXML:XML = XML(this.data);
if (!_xmlData) {
_xmlData = new XMLListCollection
(resultXML.children());
} else {
_xmlData.source = resultXML.children
();
}
this.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
getURLResult);
}
}
}
Am I totally stoned in my recollection that this worked last week?
When the complete event fires, the data property is empty. I've
tried passing in a path of data/data.xml and moving the xml file to
the root and just using data.xml.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks;

[flexcoders] Flex Builder 3 Security Sandbox Violation
I've just imported a Flex 2 Project into Flex Builder 3 (still using the Flex 2 SDK to compile) and started getting this error when debugging: *** Security Sandbox Violation *** Connection to http://localhost:1631/Improv2Service/improvService.asmx?wsdlhalted - not permitted from file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Daniel/My Documents/Flex Builder 3/Improv/Improv2/bin/Improv2.swf Error: Request for resource at http://localhost:1631/Improv2Service/improvService.asmx?wsdl by requestor from file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Daniel/My Documents/Flex Builder 3/Improv/Improv2/bin/Improv2.swf is denied due to lack of policy file permissions. The important thing to note is that this is not a new install of Flex Builder 3, and this is not new install of a Flash Player. I've successfully debugged Flex 3 projects that call a service on localhost on this machine w/ this version of flash player. So I'm not sure why importing into Flex Builder 3 broke this. Anyone seen this before? - Daniel Freiman
RE: [flexcoders] The High Score Problem
I've ben struggling with this as well. The issue is not with Flex; you'll have
this with any client server application.
You even have a bigger issue than what you are outlining...
The components you have to expose on the server can be directly accessed by a
skilled programmer without using your application. And why deal with your code
if someone can attach directly to the server and update their score directly?
I've started using validation anytime a user touches my server. So all of my
components have a validation mechanism. Is it fool-proof? Probably not.
So not only will you have to validate your interface; you'll have to validate
the data being put into the server through your components.
Now for the application side. The best way is to use CRCs on the application
to know if something has changed in the code before it attaches to your server.
I'm not sure how this would be implemented in action script or if its
possible. If not, then you'll need some way to validate the code you provide
to the end user.
Biggest thing... Never rely on the stupidity of your end users. There's a
small percentage of people that have the skills and that small percentage will
be the ones that cause the biggest problems. This is even more the case if
there are rewards that people can earn.

Subject: {Disarmed} [flexcoders] The High Score Problem
I've been doing a lot of research on this topic recently and I'm sort
of stuck. For those who don't know about this type of problem, it is
the security concern that communication between Flex (a Flash
front-end application) and a server through PHP is thinly-veiled and
prone to attack. Specifically, when a Flash game tries to tell the
server that a user got a high score, an attacker can find a way to
fake this high score and achieve the best score (sometimes resulting
in a cash prize).
The measures that I've been studying seem to only get in the way for
attackers, but not thwart them entirely. For example, one could simply
encrypt the data that is passed to a PHP file, but the Flash
application can be decompiled and the encryption technique is
discovered. Alternatively, one could obfuscate the application, making
the decompilation produce jargon, but this too can be translated into
human-readable text. A server can check data for feasibility by using
a timer to detect super-fast computer-generated PHP POSTs, but this
too can be overridden by slowing down the auto-POSTs. This is the case
for other human feasibility checks. If the server checks the POST
headers, they too can be faked by proxies.
Is the simple conclusion that Flash applications are inherently
transparent? There is no such thing as Flash application security?
Does SSL patch any of these risks?
How can a high score problem be overcome?

I have run into problems like this when the browser insisted on
caching the swf. Haven't had this problem when accessing the
generated HTML wrapper through FB3 at a file location though.
If your run option is configured to show the HTML/SWF combo on a web
server (Properties - Flex Build Path - Source path - Output folder
URL), caching could be a problem with your browser settings. I have
also had problem with the web server itself caching in combination
with using Liferay (J2EE open source portal solution). In the latter
case you have to change configuration on the web/app server itself.
Can't remember where we changed it right now however.
IE seems more stubborn than Firefox with caching. I use the Web
developer plugin to turn off caching in Firefox although there is
probably another way to do this also. IE, I just configure the
options directly.

[flexcoders] LineSeries datapoint lookup
Hi all, Currently i have a linechart with a single lineseries, using annotationElements and extending ChartElement, i created a custom chart cursor which draws vertical lines across the chart (using graphics object) at specified intervals. For each vertical line that i am drawing i am also trying to display the datapoint which it intersects, and this is where i run into problems. I use findDataPoints method on the lineseries object but it doesn't always return the value of the point that i intersect but instead return closest datapoint to the x/y coordinates that i pass ( as it should per documentation ). what would be a better way to go about this problem? Basically i know my X coordinate but dont know where the data is on the Y axis so i cant get close to the intersection point. Thanks

they don't work. Basically
I just want to set the selectedItem of a combobox:
mx:Combobox id=comboboxID
dataprovider={httpserv.lastresult.system.data}/
// actionscript which won't work
comboboxID.selectedItem = something;
So then I tried to loop through the comboboxID.dataprovider to find the
index for
something but it won't ever give me the dataprovider strings, instead
giving me errors like
this:
warning: unable to bind to property 'name' on class 'String' (class is
not an IEventDispatcher)
How can I get this working?
Thanks.

(the result of an e4x expression is never null) If there is only one node, then many of the XML methods will work on it the same as with XML.

I have created a checkbox renderer. My datagrid has 5 out of 8

Also, it looks like you are doing some work in the set data()
method. This method gets called more often than you might expect.
Consider, in the set data(), storing the data in a local var then
calling invalidateProperties(), then actually do the work in

Hi,
this little example tries to update the selectedItem property of a
ComboBox from somewhere outside the ComboBox.
The Flex 3 reference says about the ComboBox change event: Dispatched
when the ComboBox contents changes as a result of user interaction,
when the selectedIndex or selectedItem property changes, and, if the
ComboBox control is editable, each time a keystroke is entered in the
box.
When I run this application and click on the MasterCard Button, the
selectedItem property changes, but the change event is not dispatched
- does somebody out there know why ??

Is there really no wildcard way to include all the images in the SWC
from the command line without listing them explicitly in a config

The properties files references the images like this
zoom=Embed(images/zoom.png)
I assume we would have to use images/zoom.png as the name in a

[flexcoders] How do I trigger updateDisplayList() on *every* component in my Application?
I have an application with a bunch of nested containers and
components. We are internationalizing this app (with ResourceModules)
and when someone switches languages we need invalidateDisplayList()
called on every child component of the app.
Iterating through the Application's rawChildren doesn't return any
components that are nested in a Canvas for example. Do I really have
to do some recusive deal to traverse the whole tree to make the whole
app redraw? There has to be an easier way to do this that I'm overlooking.
Example: rawChildren only returns the Canvas, do I need to check if
it's a container and recurse?
App
Canvas
Box title={resourceManger.getString('boxTitle')}/

Re: [flexcoders] How do I trigger updateDisplayList() on *every* component in my Application?
That would be the wrong approach. Take a look at Gordon's article:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_3:Feature_Introductions:_Runtime_Localization
You'll see that you just need to change the locale chain of the
resource manager. You already have a binding expression which invokes
the resource manager.

I have had the same problem in the past. The way I solved it was as follows. I installed the POS printers on each point of sales, and made it shareable. On the server side, I created a servlet that would send the request to the correct printer. I mapped an ip address to a printer address in the database. So, whenever I point of sales requested a print job, the server would read the IP address of the machine making the request, and would retrieve the printer address so that it could send the print data to it. The print data is all ASCII, as I was using Parallel Port printers. The solution would be the same for a USB printer as well. So, my advise is just for you to give it a try. We have modified the application to use the Hessian protocol now, but you can also implement it using BlazeDS. Hope that info was helpful. All the best, Fidel.

RE: [flexcoders] parsing complex xml
I don't know if I have ever noticed this removal of comments, I'd need to verify. To iterate over nodes, use an e4x expression to return an XMLList, then use a for loop. Or For Each, or For In. The docs have some more detail and examples. A list can also use XMLList as a dataProvider if you do not plan to programmaticlly update the dataprovider. If you do, simply wrap the XMLList in an XMLListCollection. It looks like you will need to declare the default namespace, or use the namespace::node in all e4x expressions. You've not shown any expressions, so I can't say what you're doing wrong.

In there. You probably won't gain *much* performance but it's only one line,
and it might help a lot depending on various bindings :)
Also, and I'm not 100% sure on this but depending on what you're actually
doing with _title, it might be more in line with the standard flex way of
doing things to just call invalidateProperties, and then in
commitProperties() check for a change in _title (compare it with
titleComponent.text or whatever) and simply change the property on that
component instead of calling the entire updateDisplatList() method. But I've
only seen 5 lines of your component, so that may be way off for your use

Injecting a current client-side timestamp into an outbound request is a
good way to avoid Http response caching if you don't control the server.
If you do control the server, you should consider configuring it to set
HTTP no-cache headers in these responses to suppress caching.

Re: [flexcoders] Any folks from WebService Fx SDK team here?
With Flex 3, the source code is all included, and it's pretty nice and clean too. It takes some debugging single-stepping to get a handle on what's going on in the XML and SOAP codec classes, but I managed to diagnose and fix a bug in the encoder in about 6 hours work and I'm no flex ninja yet, so you should be able to figure out where it's going wrong with a little patience. BTW, 2032 often means your service is returning a SOAP fault. By default (and probably the standard) this is a http/500 response, which the browser discards before telling the Flash plug-in about it so your app will never get the result. Sucks, but that's the way it is. If you put a filter on the web server to change 500 to 200 when coming from a SOAP request you may get more useful information in the FaultEvent. Also, I can't recommend the Charles web debugging proxy highly enough. It's saved me countless hours debugging weird bugs in our XSDs, as well as in Flex's encoder. You'll be able to see exactly how Flex thinks the request should be formed, and also exactly what it is your server is sending back. If you can create a (small) soapUI project that exhibits your problem (ie .net can connect but Flex cannot) and post a link to it here (as opposed to an attachment which is poor form on lists), you'll also improve the chances of somebody at least telling you what the problem is. -J On Wed, May 28, 2008 at 9:38 AM, Igor Costa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So.

In there. You probably won't gain *much* performance but it's only one

Also, and I'm not 100% sure on this but depending on what you're
actually doing with _title, it might be more in line with the standard
flex way of doing things to just call invalidateProperties, and then
in commitProperties() check for a change in _title (compare it with
titleComponent.text or whatever) and simply change the property on
that component instead of calling the entire updateDisplatList()
method. But I've only seen 5 lines of your component, so that may be
way off for your use case! :D

Reasons why your POST request could be cached: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html Responses to this method [POST] are not cacheable, unless the response includes appropriate Cache-Control or Expires header fields.

Re: [flexcoders] What next after getting FLEX ?
Like what some other people have said, use what you need or if your needs don't limit your choices, then use what you want...with one caveat. Get rid of Access. Access has very limited usefulness compared to a real server, and if you're looking to learn, every single potential upside of Access would be outweighed by the value of learning one of the servers. As someone who works in primarily Microsoft shop but also uses MySQL, I would say this: If you want to stay Microsoft, you have 3 options on the database server: 1. Pick up SQL Server if you need enterprise capabilities (expensive). 2. Download SQL Server Express if you're working on a small project or just looking to learn and can work within the licensing restrictions which are mostly geared towards limiting commercial projects (otherwise free). 3. Or go with MySQL which is very minimally more difficult to pick up if you're used to dealing with Microsoft instead of OSS (yes this is a generalization, and also free).

Re: [flexcoders] Re: HTTPService multiple requests not being sent?
I do have control of the server and I'm using GET requests. I've also done
the setting headers. None of that did any thing. I am sending requests to a
single Servlet. I've setup a message to print in the log if any request
comes in and it shows the client never made a request. I think this is
truely the client caching. I'll try the post method, but I think I did that,
not sure. However like I said I created the Servlet and it's not getting any
hit from the client at all. It's like the client just looks at the request
params and sends the last requests data, if the params match. I'm not sure
the Seth Hodgson thing would apply as my requests are several seconds apart.

[flexcoders] Loading ResourceModule and CSS with one HTTP call
When loading a ResourceModule for the Japanese language, we also want to
apply a set of styles to change the default font to something Japanese.
I have a solution now that loads a ja_JP_Styles.swf through StyleManager
as well as loading a ja_JP_ResourceModule.swf with ResourceManager but
would like to combine the calls.
1. I know I could forget about loading external style SWFs and put
something like
StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(global).setStyle(fontFamily,
resourceManager.getString(FooBar, globalFont));
after setting localeChain, but I'm thinking we'll want to change other
styles and would like to keep a generic solution like I have now, but
cut down on the extra HTTP request. Maybe this is my only option?
2. I thought one could somehow Embed(style.css) in my Foo.properties
ResourceBundle but it doesn't seem like that is the right path.
3. Also, I read in the proposed spec
(http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Runtime+Localization+Specification#RuntimeLocalizationSpecification-Problem:AstylevalueinaCSSselectorcan'tcomefromaresource.)
that one might be able to do something like the following, but it barfs
so this feature probably didn't make it in.
global {
fontFamily: Resource(bundle=FooBar, key=globalFont);
}
What is the best way to do this, am I stuck with option #1 if I want to
just do one HTTP call when switching locales?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: The High Score Problem
In that case, as the prizes are large and the audience will include hackers, I'd go with a combination.

Start with SSH Turn off crossdomain.xml :) Perhaps include something along the lines of an embedded signed java Applet to verify an MD5 of the .swf file Only bother with the encryption if it's within a certain distance of high score, to cut down on server load Have the SWF download the decryption module (perhaps using a unique url it gets from the signed java applet, just to make it slightly harder to simulate the Flash environment) when needed and timeout - as mentioned already Maybe generate a new encryption algorithm SWF every time - could be server expensive, as well as a programmatic challenge Maintain a pool of encryptor-decrypter pairs (cryptdecs?), choose one at random instead of a new one every time. But still have either people or software coming up with new ones and retiring old ones. Depending on the game, include in your high score packet some information that would be able to let a server-side simulation give you some sort of chances of actually getting this score from these starting conditions and log of commands score Statistical analysis of the score history of the userbase as a whole, users in the top 80-90ish percentile, and compare it to the winner Anybody else have any ideas to throw in?

So in the case of XML I'm now assigning a UID to an attribute of the XML and using the value of that attribute as the key. It didn't give me the performance increase I was hoping for, but it is better.

RE: [flexcoders] Dictionary bug
XML read/write is much slower than access of other class instances. If you're going to do lots of reading and writing, I would consider converting the XML data to object data.

RE: [flexcoders] Loading ResourceModule and CSS with one HTTP call
The Resource and Styles subsystems use Modules to load at runtime, and
Modules sort of imply a single main class.
In the end, the single main class registers various resources and styles
with the appropriate manager, so if you create your own main class and
copy enough code, you can pack all of the styles and resources into a
single module and have it register the right things with the right
managers. You probably can't use the compiler to generate the single
SWF so you may have to use the generated code and create a custom SWF.
It won't tax your brain, but will be tedious. I'd say it would have a
difficulty rating of 7 out of 10.

Subject: [flexcoders] Loading ResourceModule and CSS with one HTTP call
When loading a ResourceModule for the Japanese language, we also want to
apply a set of styles to change the default font to something Japanese.
I have a solution now that loads a ja_JP_Styles.swf through StyleManager
as well as loading a ja_JP_ResourceModule.swf with ResourceManager but
would like to combine the calls.
1. I know I could forget about loading external style SWFs and put
something like
StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(global).setStyle(fontFamily,
resourceManager.getString(FooBar, globalFont));
after setting localeChain, but I'm thinking we'll want to change other
styles and would like to keep a generic solution like I have now, but
cut down on the extra HTTP request. Maybe this is my only option?
2. I thought one could somehow Embed(style.css) in my Foo.properties
ResourceBundle but it doesn't seem like that is the right path.
3. Also, I read in the proposed spec
(http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Runtime+Localization+S
pecification#RuntimeLocalizationSpecification-Problem:AstylevalueinaCSSs
electorcan
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Runtime+Localization+S
pecification#RuntimeLocalizationSpecification-Problem:AstylevalueinaCSSs
electorcan 'tcomefromaresource.)
that one might be able to do something like the following, but it barfs
so this feature probably didn't make it in.
global {
fontFamily: Resource(bundle=FooBar, key=globalFont);
}
What is the best way to do this, am I stuck with option #1 if I want to
just do one HTTP call when switching locales?
Thanks,

[flexcoders] Re: How to sorting the results of an OLAPQuery?
Have you tried calling OLAPSet.hierarchize()? It returns a new OLAPSet in which the members are sorted. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Cosma [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I'm trying to sort the results of my OLAPQuery, anyone has tried to do that? I can't find any info in the documentation. I verified that the order of the elements is based on the OLAPSet contents for that axis. That is, if you manually build the OLAPSet that you assign to the query axis, you will control the order. However, it is common to build the OLAPSet querying the cube about its dimensions and hierarchies. The cube will return the elements without any special order, probably it creates its internal sets adding elements as these are read. Is there an easy way to sort an OLAPSet built this way? I mean, probably it is possible to get the tuples array from the OLAPSet, wrap it into an arraycollection, sort it providing a custom compare function and then build a new OLAPSet with the new tuples array, but this is a little tricky - there should be an easier way.. any ideas? Thank you Cosma
RE: [flexcoders] add item to the top of a sorted datagrid
If the things you are adding are not in sort order, then you no longer really want the collection to be sorted. You could use a concatenated collection to join the new items while the others remain sorted like I did in this post: http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2008/03/custom_ilists_combobox_prompts.htm l Or you can simply grab the old dataprovider via toArray() into a new collection without a sort and add your new items at the beginning.
