RE: [flexcoders] Re: Create mxml custom component in a actionscript event handler
The compiler compiles the function regardless of whether it is ever called, If you reference a class that it cannot find it will error. No, if you are using normal classes, then you must have a reference to that class in order for it to be linked in at compile. This is one of the problems the Modules are intended to address. Note, the reference can simply be a variable declaration typed as the class. But I am still more confused about your problem. Let's try again. Can you instantiate Form1 if you wanted to?

If the code is not finding this class then you certainly can't proceed. As I have stated in my earlier posts commenting the onItemClick function the Form1 can not be instantiated if I remove comment on onItemClick function Form1 gets instantiated Please refer my First Post in this Thread. I am not understanding what difference it makes when I comment out a unused function. Well to best my guess when Form1 is referred explicitly in onItemClick function the mxml class Form1 is being linked but when I comment onItemClick function Form1 Class is not being linked. Is there any way to Link this Form1 in application so that its available for dynamic Instantiation i.e. without having any explicit reference in main application. Thanks and Best Regards Raja
RE: [flexcoders] Mate and sharing data across files

Re: [flexcoders] Mate and sharing data across files
To be honest, I'm not entirely certain. I've heard the word bandied around a bit, but I must confess that I don't fully understand what it means, what a singleton is, or how to identify if I've got them. I get the impression that they're something to do with an MVC approach, but I'm not 100% sure. Anyone here familiar enough with Mate and the attendant concepts to answer this one?

[flexcoders] Re: Mate and sharing data across files
Hi Seona, Let's start by taking a deep breath and don't freak out. Ok, wheeew! Mate is a little different than typical MVC; in that it seperates the model into managers and presentation models (a manager holds data and a presentation model holds an instance of the needed data and controls constituant views). Let me elaborate a little, in that these two factions of the model are also smart models; they don't just sit by and hold data., they can also manipulate data/state as well. Yes, both managers and presentation models are singletons; thus they persist. If you place your user data in a userManager, then you can easily inject that data into whatever object you want, be it a view or a presentation model, via a map. I know that there aren't a lot of mate examples out there yet.

[flexcoders] ItemRenderer frustration! - What to invalidate??
Hello there, I have a DataGrid and one of the columns contains a custom CheckBox (item renderer/editor). When the user selects the CheckBox I want to over-ride a value in another column. The problem is that the value of the other column is not updating until AFTER the user has selected a different row or has taken focus away from the DataGrid by clicking on something else, but I would really like the column to update as soon as the CheckBox has been checked. Currently this is what I have: 1) User clicks checkbox ( I capture the 'onItemBegin' event and check that it's the CheckBox which is being edited... if (event.itemRenderer is CheckBox) ... 2) I examine the underlying data (in this case it's an XMLListCollection) and if conditions are correct I change the value of my data property, then call myDataGrid.invalidateList(); Nothing seems to update the DataGrid visually until the user has clicked something else! I have tried calling all the invalidation methods I can think of, as well as validateNow() So frustrated! Please help.

In my opinion,
You should use a List of some object defined by you.
Then you create a correspondent object in ActionScript , put it in

If you want to build something more generic I believe that you will have
more trouble, but if you have available time...
It's all up to you.

[flexcoders] Is there a way to mock stage?
My scenario: a user can click on a full screen button which calls Presenter's
setFullScreen() method. I'd like to unit test this method but am not sure how.
If the unit test wasn't required, I would probably do something like this in my
Presenter:
public function setFullScreen() : void {
view.stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
// 'view' is a reference to the screen which Presenter looks after
}
However, this is hard to test. If I try this:
[Test]
public function can_set_normal_screen_mode() : void {
var settingsPresenter : SettingsPresenter = new SettingsPresenter(new
SettingsViewStub());
settingsPresenter.setFullScreen;
var view : UIComponent = UIComponent(settingsPresenter.view);
assertTrue(view.stage.displayState == StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN);
}
I get null reference error because the view hasn't been added to a display list
yet and therefore stage is null. I don't really want to add the stub view to
the display list because that's not the point of testing a Presenter, is it?
So I thought I would mock view.stage to contain my implementation of Stage but
calling new Stage() or new MySubclassOfStage() fails because Stage can't be
instantiated using the new keyword.
Right now, I am thinking about moving the actual call to stage.displayState =
... to the View itself and just call this method from the presenter. I won't be
able to test if stage's property has been set correctly (or at least not
easily) but I can see no better way at the moment.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Borek
[flexcoders] How Could I not map a property to lcds object ?
I am developping a J2EE/Flex Application and we recently decided to switch to hibernate to handle our database management strategy. The java/as mapping worked real smoothly before. All properties declared in java objects were also declared in as object. When switching to hibernate, i had to add some properties to the java objects, in order to have all my fields declared in the object. So now, the java object has more properties than the actionscript object and therefore, i get a #1056 error when creating the object (Cannot create property XXX on object myObject). I do not wish to add these missing properties in actionscript so this is why I would like to know how to not map a java attribute to it's actionscript-sided object. sorry about my english, frenchy @ work ... -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-Could-I-%22not%22-map-a-property-to-lcds-object---tp23059499p23059499.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[flexcoders] Creating ArrayCollection from returned AMFPHP data
I am using amfphp to return a complex object / multi-dimensional array.
In the past, I have been able to simply create an ArrayCollection of the
returned results by doing the following:
public function result(event:ResultEvent):void {
var resources_ac:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection()
resources_ac = event.result as ArrayCollection
}
In this particular case, if I try this method, the ArrayCollection does
not contain any items. In order to create the ArrayCollection, I have
done the following:
var resources_arr:Array = new Array()
for(var i:String in event.result) {
event.result[i] = new ObjectProxy(event.result[i]);
resources_arr.push(event.result[i])
}
resources_ac.source = resources_arr;
I am guessing it has to do with the fact that the returned item is a
multi-dimensional array/complex object? While this method seems to work
fine, is it the best/proper way to handle this type of returned data?
Thanks for the insight.
Re: [flexcoders] building a dataprovider in Java
You probably want a List of Maps. Is this coming from a ResultSet from
jdbc? In Java-ish pseudo-code, you'd do something like this:
- ListMapString,Object list = new ArrayListMapString,Object();
- For each row in the result set
-- MapString,Object row = new HashMap();
-- For each column in the result set metadata
--- row.put(column name, row value)
-- list.add(row)
and then return the list to Flex.

Romu Tim Hoff wrote: Hi Seona, Let's start by taking a deep breath and don't freak out. Ok, wheeew! Mate is a little different than typical MVC; in that it seperates the model into managers and presentation models (a manager holds data and a presentation model holds an instance of the needed data and controls constituant views). Let me elaborate a little, in that these two factions of the model are also smart models; they don't just sit by and hold data., they can also manipulate data/state as well. Yes, both managers and presentation models are singletons; thus they persist. If you place your user data in a userManager, then you can easily inject that data into whatever object you want, be it a view or a presentation model, via a map. I know that there aren't a lot of mate examples out there yet. But, please be patient; more are coming.. -TH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com, Seona Bellamy seona@ wrote: Hi guys, I'm not sure that the subject line is all that clear, but I honestly can't think of how best to express it. My brain's just really tied in a knot over this one. Bear with me for a moment and I'll try and explain where I'm coming from and what I'm trying to do. I'm pretty new to Flex as a whole, and have been trying to rework an existing app into the Mate framework. The original app was built when both myself and the other developer were just learning Flex (actually, we learned as we went along) and it quickly spiralled out of control into this complete nightmare of code. It's been decided that Mate is going to be our framework of choice for future Flex development, so I decided to start trying to rebuild our app in it as a learning exercise. I used the Cafe Townsend example ( http://mate.asfusion.com/page/examples/cafe-townsend http://mate.asfusion.com/page/examples/cafe-townsend) as a basis, and started off. So far so good - I managed to build a login interface, get the login function to call a CFC that looks up the details in the DB, and pass the user off to the main interface if they were in the DB. My problem now comes when I try to populate the main interface with the user's data. This would involve making more calls to other CFCs, passing them the user's ID, and getting back the records that are associated with the current user. The Cafe Townsend example didn't really help much with this, since once you're logged in you're logged in and it doesn't really do anything else with that information. I hunted around a bit and decided that the closest I could find to something that might do what I need is a Model and Injectors. The Weather Widget example ( http://mate.asfusion.com/page/examples/weather-widget http://mate.asfusion.com/page/examples/weather-widget) works with this, and I tried working it into what I had, but I suspect I've tied myself in a bit of a knot. Despite the fact that FlexBuilder is not flagging any errors, the app crashes the browser every time to try to run it. So I'm obviously doing something wrong. I just can't figure out what. So to summarise: how do I go about storing some data in such a way that it will be accessible to other parts of my application? For example, the user data that is brought back by an event in the MainEventMap needs to be visible to events in the UserEventMap. For that matter, are there any other decent examples out there besides the ones on the Mate website? Cheers, Seona.

Re: [flexcoders] anyone know of a good (free) flex component for playing video/swfs?
Depending on what you are doing, this could be a very bad idea. Loading an FLV is simple and easy. SWFs are very different, especially if it is outward facing, like people loading their own SWFs. What if the SWF wants its own controls? Will your wrapper/player assume a timeline-based playback only? If it's actionscript-based, how would you control it, or show progress? What if it's AS2, and you are loading it inside Flex? Will you maintain it to support newer versions of Flash later? What about FLVs embedded in the SWF timeline? Or Externally loaded FLVs from a SWF? I can think of dozens of reasons why this can become a nightmare trying to support infinite SWFs from your finite player. It sounds like a good thing to do, and a easy request to make. But when it comes to implementation and support, you have some serious questions to ask yourself. That's why you're not getting responses to a simple, one-size-fits-all Flex component for controlling SWFs. I would not recommend creating a Flex app with a customer expectation that it will load and control any SWF they can throw at it. You may want to consider just loading video files, FLVs and h.264 It's easy to support and it sounds like that's what you're trying to do in the first place. -- Cole - Original Message From: gmoniey22 gmonie...@yahoo.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, April 13, 2009 7:34:31 PM Subject: [flexcoders] anyone know of a good (free) flex component for playing video/swfs?

[flexcoders] relationship of mxml child tags and actionscript
Hi,
I am still looking for some general documentations about the guidelines as to
how to write ActionScript custom components. It's clear that you can expose
public properties, styles and event listeners of your custom components as MXML
properties.
But what are the general rules if I want to allow my client developers to
define a property in my custom component using a MXML child tag (as opposed to
a property)?
Like this:
my:MyComp
my:myChild color=0xFF width=300
mx:Label text={data}/
/my:myChild
/my:MyComp
Again, I am looking for _general_ guidelines. Thanks much.

[flexcoders] Custom DataTip function and mouse cursor. Little gray forking lines.
I was wondering if anyone has seen an example or can tell me if I am on the correct track regarding datatips. What I am trying to achieve is create a line chart with two data series, thus two lines. The chart height will be low, like Edward Tuft's sparklines (google it if you aren't familiar). When the user mouses over the chart I want to send both data point of data for both the series to a datatip function. I then want nothing to show up for the datatip (blank and no gray lines forking out), as I am sending that hitData info to a function that displays the data series points on another panel. So far I have created a custom dataTipRenderer, that is empty, but I still get the gray lines forking out point to my empty/blank renderer. So it looks like a gray line sticking out to nothing. Second issue is that I always want both series to send their data to my datatip function. Sometimes it sends both if the mouse pointer happens to touch both lines. I was thinking if I make a custom mouse pointer for just the chart that is a long vertical line it will always touch both data points, which solves that problem. Unless anyone has another idea? The second issue with the gray forking lines I can't seem to get rid of those little suckers. Any ideas?

2. Stacked Column chart that contains values where I can chart the
following example:
item1 (name=myName, selection=sel1, value=4)
item2 (name=myName, selection=sel2, value=6)
item3 (name=name3, selection=sel1, value=8)
I expect a chart that has myName and name3 across the x-axis (myName should
only appear once). A column should appear at myName that has one
color/selection (value 4) stacked on top of another (value 6). A column
should be at name3 with the same color/selection as item1 (value 8).
Can you please help me with this? Thanks so much in advance

Re: [flexcoders] Re: RSS Feeds
I know this is an old thread but you can't just browse to it - a browser only displays html, but that html comes from a server at some point - i.e. a proxy. The same goes for ajax. The reason that they don't post a crossdomain.xml is because that would make developers put their secret key inside the flex app which can easily be decompiled and compromised. Still it would be nice to have a solution, without having to spin up your own servers.

And I noticed a misunderstanding in your original post. The set data() function *is* called every time the underlying data changes and is the most important function in a itemRenderer.

[flexcoders] Making ComboBox stay open after item select?
Does anyone know how to modify the ComboBox so that it stays open after selecting an item? I need such a ComboBox for a client that opens/closes only if the user clicks on the 'header area' of the ComboBox or that closes only if clicked outside the ComboBox. The use case for this is that the ComboBox will have custom item renderers that contain (for example) a CheckBox and a Label and the user should be able to make several selections without the ComboBox closing inbetween. I've made this before by wrapping all the stuff into a Panel and changing the Panels height on close so that only the header is visible but that method is rather suboptimal, especially for skinning. Would be great if somebody has a workaround for this! Thanks in advance! Sascha
RE: [flexcoders] Re: How Could I not map a property to lcds object ?
You can use the flex.messaging.io.PropertyProxy features. The BeanProxy class
has a way to exclude properties from AMF serialization. You can either
register these statically or wrap an instance. These should be in the docs.
We really should have @FlexTransient or something so that can be turned on/off
independently. I think there is an implementation in the BlazeDS bug base
someone contributed I've been meaning to look at. You'd just need to write
some service hook to check for the annotations, register property proxies to
exclude the right properties on whatever class had the annotations and you'd be
all set.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Mate and sharing data across files
*grin* Thanks. I guess I was freaking out a little - I'd finally thought I was getting a handle on the whole Mate thing, and then I hit this problem and realised I was much further away from understanding than I thought. So let me see if I understand how this works, based on the examples I've seen: - I create a UserModel class which extends the InjectorTarget class. It has all of the user-related variables I want to pass around as bindable public variables, plus get and set functions. - As well as my regular Event Maps, I create a Model Event Map which has all of the different injectors that put data into the various models - When I perform the login function in the AuthorisationManager, the CFC returns me the details of the user who is logging in. I somehow call this UserModel and put all the data into the model's variables. - In the UserManager, when I want to run the GetKeywords function, for example, I can call on the data stored in the model to get the user's ID and pass it to the service I'm calling. Is that right? If it is, I think I need some help making the linkages between them all. I won't bother posting any code until I find out if I'm barking up the wrong tree, though. :) Thanks, Seona. 2009/4/15 Tim Hoff timh...@aol.com Hi Seona, Let's start by taking a deep breath and don't freak out. Ok, wheeew! Mate is a little different than typical MVC; in that it seperates the model into managers and presentation models (a manager holds data and a presentation model holds an instance of the needed data and controls constituant views). Let me elaborate a little, in that these two factions of the model are also smart models; they don't just sit by and hold data., they can also manipulate data/state as well. Yes, both managers and presentation models are singletons; thus they persist. If you place your user data in a userManager, then you can easily inject that data into whatever object you want, be it a view or a presentation model, via a map. I know that there aren't a lot of mate examples out there yet. But, please be patient; more are coming.. -TH

I was wondering what the best way to create classes / etc that multiple projects can use. What would be the best way to do this?
[flexcoders] Re: How Could I not map a property to lcds object ?
This is just the flex vo side. No change to the java transfer object is
necessary; for transient fields that live only in the flex app.

@Transient I'm not aware of. There's also this blazeds annotations

Yep, here's an example:
*
private
* *var* _myProperty:String;
[Transient]
[*Bindable*( event=*myPropertyChange* )]
/**
* myProperty.
* @private
*/
*public* *function* *get* myProperty():String
{
* return* _myProperty;
}
/** @private */
*public* *function* *set* myProperty( value:String ):*void
*{
_myProperty = value;
dispatchEvent( *new* Event( *myPropertyChange* ) );
}

[flexcoders] Re: Mate and sharing data across files
ha, I was just kidding around about the freaking out thing. So, you're
getting close, but I would do it this way:
First, you only need a userManager. It is the model, so you don't need
a userModel. The userManager would have a currentUser property. In
your CFC result handler, call a method in the userManager that sets that
currentUser to the lastResult. Next, create another currentUser
property in any presentationModel that needs the data. Now, in your
userMap, simply inject the currentUser from the userManager into the
presentationModels. When a new user is set, to the currentUser in the
manager, the presentationModels will be automatically refreshed; through
injection.
Injectors targets={ [ UserPresentationModel, AnotherPresetationModel
] }
PropertyInjector targetKey=currentUser source={ UserManager }
sourceKey=currentUser /
/Injectors

- In the UserManager, when I want to run the GetKeywords function, for
example, I can call on the data stored in the model to get the user's
ID and
pass it to the service I'm calling.
Is that right? If it is, I think I need some help making the linkages
between them all. I won't bother posting any code until I find out if
I'm
barking up the wrong tree, though. :)

Hi Seona,
Let's start by taking a deep breath and don't freak out. Ok, wheeew!
Mate is a little different than typical MVC; in that it seperates
the
model into managers and presentation models (a manager holds data
and a
presentation model holds an instance of the needed data and controls
constituant views). Let me elaborate a little, in that these two
factions of the model are also smart models; they don't just sit
by
and hold data., they can also manipulate data/state as well. Yes,
both
managers and presentation models are singletons; thus they persist.
If
you place your user data in a userManager, then you can easily
inject
that data into whatever object you want, be it a view or a
presentation
model, via a map.
I know that there aren't a lot of mate examples out there yet. But,
please be patient; more are coming..

Re: [flexcoders] Adobe Bug | http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-17299
Hi Igor
Thanks for your help.
Actually i have a pop up in which i am using lot of components like
Checkbox,Tree control, couple of text controls and few others. Everytime i
create popup the new instance of the components are created. I wanted that if i
can remove these components from memory then i would be great.
Hope the statement below helps.
PopUpManager. removePopUp( e.currentTarget. document as IFlexDisplayObject) ;
thanks

Isn't a bug, Not a Bug the problem is the way of your code implementation
works. The PopUpManager doesn't work to cast itself. Due to the dependecy of
IFlexDisplayObject.
Instead of current code example.
NOT Right way
//action1
if (myPopUp == null) {
myPopUp = PopUpManager. createPopUp( this, MyMxmlComponent, false) as
MyMxmlComponent;
} else {
PopUpManager. addPopUp( myPopUp, this, false);
}
//action1
if (!myPopUp.isPopUp) {
myPopUp = PopUpManager. createPopUp( this, MyMxmlComponent, false) as
MyMxmlComponent;
} else {
PopUpManager. addPopUp( myPopUp, this, false);
}
Remove you should do like
PopUpManager. removePopUp( e.currentTarget. document as IFlexDisplayObject) ;

[flexcoders] Re: Mate and sharing data across files
For a little more clarity, the CFC result handler in therMap would look
something like this:
EventHandlers type={ LoginEvent.LOGIN } debug=true
HTTPServiceInvoker instance={ services.login } request={
event.userName }
resultHandlers
MethodInvoker generator={ UserManager }
method=loginResult arguments={ resultObject }/
/resultHandlers
/HTTPServiceInvoker
/EventHandlers
Sorry, I don't use CF but you get the picture.

[flexcoders] Re: InteractiveObject Problem
I know it, but I can't choice another Class because evt.mouseTarget is InteractiveObject I write code if (evt.mouseTarget.hasOwnProperty(data)) var inObj:AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer = evt.mouseTarget; The error message 1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type flash.display:InteractiveObject to a possibly unrelated type mx.controls.advancedDataGridClasses:AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer. In debug mode I can see value of evt.mouseTarget but I can assign it to any variables in my knowledge :( Here, you've chosen to type your variable as InteractiveObject: var inObj:InteractiveObject; inObj = evt.mouseTarget; Yet you say that the actual data type of your object is this: inObj = inObj = (mx.controls.advancedDataGridClasses.AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer) mx.controls.advancedDataGridClasses.AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer (@9385479) AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer has a data property. InteractiveObject, its great-great-grandparent class, does not. So, you have the choice of typing this object as anything in its inheritance chain, plus the five interfaces it implements. You've chosen to type it as InteractiveObject, which doesn't have a data property, nor does UITextField, FlexTextField, DisplayObject, EventDispatcher, or Object. Change var inObj:InteractiveObject to var inObj:SomeClassOrInterfaceThatHasADataProperty HTH; Amy

[flexcoders] Fixing Flex's mouse wheel scroll
Flex's mouse wheel scrolls are unusually small compared to regular scrolls. Meaning, I have to scroll down about 8-10 cycles with my mouse wheel to read two pages in flex which in a normal browser can be read in 2-3 cycles. Is there a way to set how much a mouse wheel should scroll in Flex?
