[flexcoders] Calling a REST webservice from Flex
I have developed a REST web service in WCF (Windows communication Foundation. .NET Technology). I want to use that web service in Flex 3. Can someone let me know is REST calls in supported in FLex3 or not? Muhammad
Re: [flexcoders] Calling a REST webservice from Flex
You can only make GET and POST requests from Flex. -J On Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 4:21 PM, javed786pk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have developed a REST web service in WCF (Windows communication Foundation. .NET Technology).

It's a limitation of the browser plugin API unfortunately. You can proxy GET/POST requests via a server that makes the correct requests on your behalf, but that's about it. -J On Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 4:32 PM, javed786pk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: thanks for quick response.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Calling a REST webservice from Flex
Well the idea is you run a proxy on your server, make non-rest calls to it with GET and POST, or Data Services, and the proxy is the one that makes the GET / POST / PUT / DELETE rest calls and then returns the result to your Flex program. I think LCDS / BlazeDS has some stuff in it to help with that, but I don't use it because we don't use rest so I don't know the details. -J On Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 4:47 PM, javed786pk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: J, I am sorry but i did not understand the proxy part of your response.Can you kindly elaborate it for me a little more? -Muhammad --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com, Josh McDonald [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's a limitation of the browser plugin API unfortunately.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Calling a REST webservice from Flex
As far as I understand REST invocation is same as any HTTP url loading in Flex. You can use the HTTPService from Flex. But I am not sure why you wanted DELETE and PUT methods with REST webservice, you just need only GET/POST. I think Flex 'HttpServer' support only GET/POST.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Calling a REST webservice from Flex
If you're only using GET/POST you're not really doing rest, but I don't wanna kick off a holy war. I don't even like rest :) I don't like SOAP much either, but I do like the idea of schema definition, and I'm still waiting for something nice in between the two ;-) -J On Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 4:58 PM, Gireesh Kumar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As far as I understand REST invocation is same as any HTTP url loading in Flex.

Re: [flexcoders] Casting Problem.. Type Coercion Failed
I am using the WebORB for PHP on my server side.
There am doing a SELECT * query and am sending the returned results to Flex.
How did you create the collection? Did you
use AMF? Did you load from XML?
I am using the RemoteObjects in here and configured the VO's at both ends.
Somehow the objects that got created did not
get created as the proper UserVO objects. So check the collection when it
gets set, it's not getting set right. If you're using AMF then you might
need to include a reference to the UserVO class so the compiler knows to
include it, otherwise it won't get deserialized right.
Am new with PHP stuff, so just experimenting with it to use with Flex.
Here is how my class looks like in php:
?php
require_once(vo/UserVO.php);
class UserDelegate
{
public function getUsers()
{
$link = mysql_connect(localhost, dbuser, dbpassword);
mysql_select_db('userdb', $link);
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM tbl_user order by
userId;)or
die(Invalid query: . mysql_error());
mysql_close($link);
return $result;
}
}
?
So, I am selecting * and returning $result straightforward, in responder(on
flex side) am getting this in my arraycollection as below:
public function result(data:Object):void
{
//TODO: implement function
var list:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(data.result as Array);
// definition of ALL_USERS - public static var ALL_USERS :
ICollectionView;
ModelLocator.ALL_USERS = list; // $results is being populated to
this corresponding collection.
}
So, on PHP side, am not sure how I would get the result in the form of
UserVO and populate the $result with vo's and then send it back to Flex.
Thanks for your help.

[flexcoders] First row trouble with datagrid component
topic summary :
The first element of my dataprovider is not shown and there is always
an empty line as the first line of my datagrid
Dear all,
I think my question is entirely explained in the topic summary of this
post. I have a datagrid that uses a item renderer. The main app is
defined like in the first part of the attached code. The itemrenderer
looks like the second part of the attached code.
When I run it, the first item of my dataprovider is not shown while
the first line of my datagrid is always empty... Any idea to explain
this strange behavior ?
Thanks in advance...

Re: [flexcoders] Re: New to flex, wonder why one works and the other doesn't...
In other words, UIComponents /can/ natively contain other UIComponents,
only the child UIComponent will by default have a 0 width and height.
Which it means it won't show up on the stage. Which means, by default,
you cannot get a native (non-extended) UIComponent to show up when you
add it to another UIComponent. Which means you cannot (successfully) add
a native UIComponent to another UIComponent.
Thanks for catching the technicality, as a writer I love that kind of
precision.
But basically what Charlie was saying is correct: UIComponent's can't
contain other UIComponents without being a subclass of Container or
implementing the IContainer interface. -- only he forgot to add 'and
have them successfully show up on stage'.
So you're both correct IMO. Thanks for the clarity.

Guys, sorry, but that's not quite right. UIComponents can contain
other UIComponents without being a container. It is a common use
case. Take a look at the simple example Adobe includes with their
docs:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.h
tm?href=1742.html
You will notice that the mocal text component is a UIComponent but
it contains a button and a text area... both UIComponents.
The difference is that containers like Canvas have the logic to size
and position any child they contain by default. UIComponent does
not. So, in a UIComponent descendant, you need to write code to size
and position every child or they will exist as 0 width and 0 height
component.

Not a
simple task.
addChild() is defined in DisplayObject which apart of the Flash API
not the Flex API. BitmapAsset is a sublcass of DisplayObject and
not
UIComponent. So you can add it to the text area directly using
this
code:
var img : BitmapAsset = new imgCls() as BitmapAsset;
img.x = txtArea.mouseX;
img.y = txtArea.mouseY;
txtArea.addChild( img );
Now, try that out, and you'll start to see some issues that you'll
have to asess if this is going to work for what you're trying to
do.
Since the bitmap is not apart of the document in the TextArea you
are
going to get clipping or scrolling. If you want to do that you'll
have to get really dirty with the TextArea API. Probably even
ditching TextArea altogether and writing your own, or modifying
rich
text editor.

Hello,
I have figured out how to work around my problem, but I do
wonder why
one of the following methods works, and the other doesn't. I
would be
grateful if someone could explain the error in the failing
method.
The code is pasted below (Below the line of dashes) in it's
entirety,
and is commented as to which works and which doesn't.
The image referenced in this case is a 32x32 pixel png file on my
local system. I am attempting to display the image on a text
area.
Using the default example from the flex documentation to embed an
image, I cannot get the image to show up when added to the text
area's
display list, but it does show just fine when added to the root
display list. I also added the image to the textArea using
addChildAt(txtIcon, txtArea.numChildren) with no change in
effect.
The second method works just fine. I imagine that the problem has
something to do with applying the image as a byte array to
image.source, but I wonder why exactly? Is this a bug?
Thanks in advance,

[flexcoders] Accessing the sub-items of a Menu command
Hi all. This is a stupid question, but I can't work it out! Given the following XML and code, how am I supposed to access the Do Something menu item that is created? var xml:XML = new XML( root menuItem label=File menuItem label=Do Something / /menuItem /root ); var menuBar:MenuBar = new MenuBar(); menuBar.dataProvider = xml; menuBar.showRoot = false; menuBar.labelField = @label By making a call to menuBar.getMenuAt(0) I get a reference to the File menu, returned as type Menu. Menu doesn't seem to expose either a collection of sub-items, or a getMenuAt() method. I'm stumped! Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers Marty

some questions to clear things up further, nothing big, just simple
things. Check below for the blue text, in the meantime I'll experiment,
Thanks a bunch I appreciate it.

Normally, you listen for dragDrop or dragComplete events and if you

So, if I were handling dragging products to a shopping list, I would
write something like this:
public function dragDropHandler(event:DragEvent):void
{
var draggedItems:Array =
event.dragSource.dataForFormat(items);//Is items simply a generic
name or the name of what you're dragging from?
var draggedItem:Product = draggeItems[0];//Am I correct in
assuming that this is the row of the dataGrid being dragged from?
// search array collection for existing object
var ac:ArrayCollection = dataProvider;//This is the
dataProvider of the dataGrid being dropped on, right?
var n:int = ac.length;
for (var i:int = 0; I n; i++)
{
If (ac[i].productKey ==
draggedItem.productKey)
{
ac[i].quantity ++;
event.preventDefault();
return;
}
}
// if we don't exit via preventDefault()/return, then
default behavior will add it to the dataProvider

It's early stages right now, but it seems to do everything I need, with API calls for moving from one page to another, zooming, scrolling, etc. The Pro edition is $80 and there's a server edition that has an automation API, letting you integrate conversion into your application. Very cool. Anyone facing this powerpoint to Flex problem should take a look to see if this meets your needs. I've had a quick look at print2flash and it looks good, but I think the problem for powerpoint conversion is the use of animation and transitions - something I don't think that print2flash can handle. I'm sure that conversion of static slides (via the print interface) would work fine. If you know different, let me know fast! Paul Robin snip

Right… I don't have the time to fix your application for you – but I
do have time to give you a quickie example that will set you in the right

verticalScrollPolicy=off
mx:Image source=house_plans.png/
mx:Image x=62 y=26 source=couch.png/

/mx:Canvas
/mx:Application
Key Take-aways:
#1 – a container in container approach helps eliminate scroll bar scaling
issues
#2 – a container in container approach helps reduce the number of scalable
objects you have to keep track of to one (myCanvas – children should be
added here)
#3 – position of all objects is maintained without having to after-manage
coordinates
How you manage the size/ratio of objects after you get this all setup…
should probably be done just setting the unscaledWith and unscaledHeight
appropriately.

And if I change only the canvas scaleX and scaleY the placed object is not
zooming properly.

[flexcoders] FocusRect troubles
Hello, I'm fairly new to Flex and have some questions about the FocusRect: How would I globally change the color? How would I globally remove all focusRects? If that doesn't work, how can I do that at least for the NumericStepper arrow buttons, and how can I do it for UITextField? Thanks, Mark
[flexcoders] Re: Casting Problem.. Type Coercion Failed
I don't use WebORB; I use AMFPHP (I found AMFPHP faster, more reliable
and easier to use than WebORB).
Anyway, you include the UserVO.php file at the top of your PHP file and
then never use it (I assume this is the value object for your user). You
should create an array of UserVO objects and return this array:
?php
require_once(vo/UserVO.php);
class UserDelegate
{
public function getUsers()
{
$users = array();
$link = mysql_connect(localhost, dbuser, dbpassword);
mysql_select_db('userdb', $link);
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM tbl_user order by
userId;)or die(Invalid query: . mysql_error());
mysql_close($link);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result, UserVO))
{
$users[] = $row;
}
return $users;
}
}
?
Now, at the flex end, you will need a UserVO class so that the objects
can be deserialized correctly: (The variable names will be wrong - just
change/add your own)
package myservices
{
[RemoteClass(alias=services.UserVO)]
[Bindable]
public class UserVO
{
//instance variables
private var _FirstName:String;
private var _LastName:String;
//accessor methods
public function get FirstName():String {return _FirstName;}
public function get LastName():String {return _LastName;}
//mutator methods
public function set FirstName(FirstName:String):void {_FirstName
= FirstName;}
public function set LastName(LastName:String):void {_LastName =
LastName;}
}
}
So, when you get your result back, convert it to an arrayCollection:
var ALL_USERS:ArrayCollection = new
ArrayCollection(ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result));
Now, I can use each user object:
var currentUser:UserVO = ALL_USERS[i] as UserVO;

[flexcoders] configuring for a headless server
I have seen a few posts about setting up flex to run on a headless server but I'm a bit confused about how to actually do this or even if this will fix my problem. This is what the documentation says should be done to set things up: --- define the value of the headless-server tag in the flex-config.xml file. Setting this property to true is required to support fonts and SVG images in a nongraphical environment. The headless-server tag is a child tag of compiler. The following example sets headless-server to true: headless-servertrue/headless-server --- Seems straight forward enough, but when I deploy to the server using a war file, I am not providing the flex-config.xml file. Do I need to get my sys admin to update this on the server manually? What I am doing is launching flex from the server as a thread to run in the background and save snapshots of charts drawn in flex every time new data is sent from the server to the flex app running in the browser. So in this instance of flex, no user is involved. The server is a headless rack mounted computer.

[flexcoders] Re: New to flex, wonder why one works and the other doesn't...
Close, but no. In Flex, parents are responsible for sizing their children. Flex Containers (which are just UIComponents with more code) do size their children, but you can also create UIComponents that know how to size their children. Neither a container, nor a component that implements a container interface needs to be involved in any way to handle this. That is the fallacy I am addressing. Look at the example I provided and you will not see a Container or implementor of that interface. In other words: * UIComponents can contain other UIComponents. * Containers are UIComponents which know how to automatically size their children through the component lifecycle Does this make sense?

Which it means it won't show up on the stage. Which means, by default, you cannot get a native (non-extended) UIComponent to show up when you add it to another UIComponent. Which means you cannot (successfully) add a native UIComponent to another UIComponent. Thanks for catching the technicality, as a writer I love that kind of precision.

RE: [flexcoders] First row trouble with datagrid component
First, a dataProvider should contain data. It looks like you are
putting ui components in the dataProvider. Unless you are working a
very extreme edge-case, you do not want to do that. What are you trying
to accomplish?
Second, you cannot use creationComplete to show row/item level UI in a
renderer. All display work in a renderer must happen as the result of
the framework's call to the set data() function. Typically, one
overrides set data().
I think you may have some basic misconceptions to work through.

Re: [flexcoders] FlexReport not showing report first time in tab navigator
Derrick,
My guess is that you are setting the heigth and width to percent
values, try to set it to an axplicity value.
That´s because flex only know the size that things have when it draws
them, so your percentage values would evaluate to 0.
It´s just a guess but I had the same problem before and it took a
while to figure it out.

[flexcoders] Re: Two questions: Nested applications styles colllisions, flashvars injection
Hi Alex,
thanks for your reply.
I guess you're right about the styles, since we use modal window to
open the loaded swf, we simply unloaded the main app styles before
loading the 2nd app.
Then, when the user is done with the loaded swf, we called it's
deactivate() method which unloads its styles and the main app reloads
its styles.
About the flashvars, I made it work, in a very hacky way, but I can't
think of anything else.
Basically, the solution is to catch the right moment to inject data to
the application.parameters, which is between when the application gets
a copy of the SystemManager.parameters and the tyime when the
application dispatces a preinitialize event, which is the time for
the app to start kicking.
The only way I found to catch this moment was to use the event
UIComponent.dispatchEventHook and check for the first preinitialize
event.
I had 2 problems with that:
1. I use actionscript only application for the wrapper, otherwise it
will make no sense to use a wrapper - that can be solved by copying
the mx_internal to access the UIComponent.dispatchEventHook and using
ApplicationDomain.getDefinition()
2. The UIComponent class definition is only avialable through
ApplicationDomain.getDefinition() at the SystemManager 2nd frame
So at first, I thought I could simply add an event listener to the
enterFrame, but then I found out, that the enterFrame is always
dispatched after the frameScript function, which in some cases can be
too late, because the application can get initialized and disapcth the
preinitialize before the first enterFrame event for frame 2 is dispacthed.
So, to overcome these timing issues I had to override the call to the
SystemManager.docFrameHandler, by passing my own frameScript function
where I first acquire the UICompoennt class definition to use its
dispatch hook, and only then call the SystemManager.docFrameHandler
manually
Enough bubbling, here is the code, it's hacky, I'm aware of the risk
of using the mx_internal, but currently it works, so here it is:
package {
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;

stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

_systemManager.mx_internal::[docFrameHandler]();
}

{
if (event.type == preinitialize _firstTime)
{
_firstTime = false;

[flexcoders] Re: First row trouble with datagrid component
Thank you Tracy for your answer,
You are probably right about the bad design of my application. I know
that the dataprovider component is used to pass data and not complete
object. However my case is a little bit different (maybe there is an
other way to assess my issue...) because I don't want to display a
basic visual compound. Each of the displayed compound has to do an
additional task; in my case a remote call via a RemoteObject.
The only way I found to display these living object was to build the
object, then to store it in an ArrayCollection and finally to reactive
it in the datagrid (relifeData).
Thanks for the data() function. I didn't know what was triggered by
the addition of items in my grid.

the framework's call to the set data() function. Typically, one
overrides set data().
I think you may have some basic misconceptions to work through.

Hi Alex,

I guess you're right about the styles, since we use modal window to
open the loaded swf, we simply unloaded the main app styles before
loading the 2nd app.
Then, when the user is done with the loaded swf, we called it's
deactivate() method which unloads its styles and the main app reloads
its styles.
About the flashvars, I made it work, in a very hacky way, but I can't
think of anything else.
Basically, the solution is to catch the right moment to inject data to
the application.parameters, which is between when the application gets
a copy of the SystemManager.parameters and the tyime when the
application dispatces a preinitialize event, which is the time for
the app to start kicking.
The only way I found to catch this moment was to use the event
UIComponent.dispatchEventHook and check for the first preinitialize
event.
I had 2 problems with that:
1. I use actionscript only application for the wrapper, otherwise it
will make no sense to use a wrapper - that can be solved by copying
the mx_internal to access the UIComponent.dispatchEventHook and using
ApplicationDomain.getDefinition()
2. The UIComponent class definition is only avialable through
ApplicationDomain.getDefinition() at the SystemManager 2nd frame
So at first, I thought I could simply add an event listener to the
enterFrame, but then I found out, that the enterFrame is always
dispatched after the frameScript function, which in some cases can be
too late, because the application can get initialized and disapcth the
preinitialize before the first enterFrame event for frame 2 is
dispacthed.
So, to overcome these timing issues I had to override the call to the
SystemManager.docFrameHandler, by passing my own frameScript function
where I first acquire the UICompoennt class definition to use its
dispatch hook, and only then call the SystemManager.docFrameHandler
manually

My guess is that you are setting the heigth and width to percent

That´s because flex only know the size that things have when it draws

It´s just a guess but I had the same problem before and it took a

[flexcoders] Two difficult problems regarding synchronization of RPC in Flash
Problem 1: How can I make sure multiple asynch remote method calls do
not end up canceling each other?
Consider this pseudo code:
onButtonClick()
{
doStuff();
requestSoapData.addEventListener(..., handleSoapResult);
requestSoapData.send();
}
handleSoapResult()
{
doMoreStuff();
requestSoapData.removeEventListener(..., handleSoapResult);
// remove handler so this handler doesn't get called again when some
other control fires requestSoapData.
}
I add the listener before the call and remove after processing the
result, so that there will be no side-effect if another function calls
the same remote method. This was a pattern suggested to me previously
which I find is better than registering listeners permanently.
Now the problem is that since remote calls are asynchronous in nature,
how can I prevent the first result from coming back and removing the
listener BEFORE the second (or any subsequent) calls from invoking the
correct listener? Or am I somehow guaranteed that listeners will not
be removed until a pending remote call returns?
If this is not the correct pattern, then can anyone suggest a better
way of making sure each call to the *same* remote method invokes the
correct listener upon return w/o any side-effects from each other?
The single threaded nature of Flash Player that forces the asynch I/O
pattern leads me to my 2nd problem.
Problem 2: Is there an easy way to synchronize a string of network
calls at all?
I'm attempting to write a test script to test both my Flash frontend
and server backend. However, in order to run a series of tests, I need
to wait for the result from each previous remote call to come back
before invoking the next one.
One proven, but tedious way, is to have a string of listeners that
registers the next listener, then kicks off the next remote call. But
this just doesn't seem like good programming. The ugliness is next to
using nested if statements where a switch would do.
Can anyone suggest a better way of synchronizing remote calls for
testing purposes? Or is this just impossible due to Flash architecture?
Thanks!

Finally, and most successfully, I started playing with print2flash which can convert a ppt to a swf and has a flex component that can open that swf and move around it. It's early stages right now, but it seems to do everything I need, with API calls for moving from one page to another, zooming, scrolling, etc. The Pro edition is $80 and there's a server edition that has an automation API, letting you integrate conversion into your application. Very cool. Anyone facing this powerpoint to Flex problem should take a look to see if this meets your needs. I've had a quick look at print2flash and it looks good, but I think the problem for powerpoint conversion is the use of animation and transitions - something I don't think that print2flash can handle. I'm sure that conversion of static slides (via the print interface) would work fine. If you know different, let me know fast! I checked with the developers. The slide conversion is AS2 based and only via the printer mechanism, so static conversion only. Paul Paul Robin
[flexcoders] Flex 3 - Help sorting formatted data in datagrid
I need someone to help verify a problem I'm running into and perhaps recommend a solution. What I'm trying to do should be very simple: I want to allow users to sort a datagrid column containing data formatted using a CurrencyFormatter. The problem I'm finding is that sorting (by clicking the column header) works fine on raw numbers, but trying to do the same on formatted numbers doesn't do anything. I'm using Flex Builder 3, but have tried this using both the Flex 2 and Flex 3 compilers on two different systems. Initially I was trying this using an AdvancedDataGrid, but found the same problem using just a basic DataGrid. Attached is a simple mxml file that fully demonstrates my problem. I also have a bug logged with Adobe(http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDMV-1769) that I'd love to cancel. Am I missing something? Am I just going to have to define my own sort function? Thanks!

So, in a UIComponent descendant, you need to write code to size and position every child or they will exist as 0 width and 0 height component.

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

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 3 - Help sorting formatted data in datagrid
You need a sortCompareFunction:
In your script area add...
import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;
Then add the following function...
private function myCompareFunc(itemA:Object, itemB:Object):int
{
return ObjectUtil.numericCompare(itemA.Quoted_Total,
itemB.Quoted_Total);
}
Now change your DataGridColumn component to...
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Formatted Total (Flex will now sort)
sortCompareFunction=myCompareFunc
That should do it.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: First row trouble with datagrid component
This will not work: myLiveObj.dataProvider = service.doSomething.lastResult; service.doSomething(); Data service calls are asynchronous, so you either have to use a result handler, or bind to the result. The first row above does NOT establish a binding, it just assigns lastResult, (which will be either null or contain the wrong value) to the dataProvider property. You should not assign lastResult in any case, you should use it only for binding. Why are you doing the data service calls from each item?

Re: [flexcoders] Anyone know why Air drops the first letter of file during coldfusion remoting?
This is already an old bug and apparantly still not fixed. The solution is to set the destination attribute of the RemoteObject element in your MXML file and not in the XML configuration file. Be sure to set the whole path.
