[flexcoders] Flex Charting
Hi. Am doing some flex coding using only a text editor and the SDK compiler. I run across some examples of Chart and when I try to compile the application (using the MXMLC compiler), I am getting an error: Error: Could Not Resolve mx:PieChart to a component implementation. I did a little research and I found out that I may need to have the charts.swc (for SDK 2) and datavisualization.swc (for SDK 3). I am using SDK 3 of Flex. I tried to search for the .SWC file but I cannot seem to find it. Is it downloaded as a separate file? Inputs highly appreciated. Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: What is the best material to learn Flex 3 and AS3?
Honestly, I also could not believe it, but I was extensively looking for good resources, and the best to start with was: Flex 3 for dummies. Even though I have a computer science background, my doubts of buying and reading this books vanished quickly. I have never done anyhing with Flex, AS3, Mxml, etc before, so I really needed a book which explained all the basics. It provides you with the basic knowledge to build your first flex apps.

I found
http://www.nabble.com/-flex_india:18847--Show-Event-is-not-working-for-meNeed-some-hep-td21803964.html
and the basic idea is that TabNavigator only shows/hides the VBox, so as far
as the TextArea knows it's visible property is never altered so you never get
a show event.
The workaround on the Flex India list works well for us.

[flexcoders] XMLFiltering by attributes and values
Hello
Can anyone figure out this problem im currently having, and explain the reasons
and cause of this proplem.
I have an XML file of track data with a bunch of attributes
track
item uniqueTrackId=100 albumId=12 trackId=1 genreId=13
artistId=6584
...
/track
i use this code to execute the filtering on the data, the name is artistId and
the value is 6584, so the data should come back with all the artists with
artistId 6584.
var filterData : XMLList = _trackData.item;
for each (var prop : Object in _propertiesList)
{
filterData = filterData.(attribute(prop.name) == prop.value);
}
but i keep getting this exception, when its applyin the filter, so within the
for loop
TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.
So anyone that can figure what the problem is, would be a big help Thank You

[flexcoders] question with text color CSS for mx:Button on roll over.
Sorry if this is a really simple question.
I have a button and im loading in an external stylesheet and setting the
buttons styleName to .removeUserButton.
*
mx:Button id=removeUser styleName=removeUserButton label=Remove/*
.removeUserButton {
upSkin: Embed(/assets/images/btn_secondary_up.png);
overSkin: Embed(/assets/images/btn_secondary_over.png);
downSkin: Embed(/assets/images/btn_secondary_over.png);
font-family: Arial;
font-size:11;
color:#FF;
font-anti-alias-type:advanced;
}
This all works fine except when I roll over the button the text color
changes to *BLACK*. I need to keep it *WHITE* as I have it set in the CSS.
Any ideas?
thanks,

Re: [flexcoders] XMLFiltering by attributes and values

If it is element then accessing is correct, there is some other problem.
If it is attribute then should access like this

*public function callFunc():void{

[flexcoders] Scale a Class file (png, gif, etc...)
I am trying to use a LinkButton in my app and assign an image to the icon variable, but I need to scale down or make sure the image isn't any larger than 15 x 15 pixels. Is there a way to scale a class file? I tried to load a png file then convert the png to Bitmap, tried BitmapData, and tried BitmapAsset and then scale the embedded image, but non of this worked. So to recap embed and image (which is 50x50 pixels) and shrink it down to (15x15 pixels) and assign it to a linkButtons icon. Anyone know of a solution?
[flexcoders] Re: XMLFiltering by attributes and values
Ok, thanks, but dont think i explained my self very well
Basically, i have a properties list which stores a object with a name and a
value, which are both strings. name is the attribute name, so in ur example it
will be 'id' and the value will be '1'. so knowing that information i should be
able to filter the xml using them values.
var itemList : XMLList = items
item id='1' quantity='2' type='fruit'
item id='2' quantity='5' type='veg'
item id='3' quantity='6' type='veg'
item id='4' quantity='7' type='fruit'
/items;
var propertyList : ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
propertyList.addItem({name:'type' , value:'fruit'});
var filterList : XMLList = itemList.item;
for each(var property : Object in propertyList)
{
filterList = filterList.(attribute(property.name) == property.value);
}
//Output of filterList
item id='1' quantity='2' type='fruit'
item id='4' quantity='7' type='fruit'
So thats the basic idea but always get that error, looking in the API it
suggests it is possible to filter like that. Well hope this gives a better idea
of what the problem is. Thank You

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Java/Flex questions answered by James Ward
Hi Mete You are 100% correct that i am using AMF Channel. I do not want to use HTTP Channel because then data has to be in XML format and it will make the request/response slow. At the same time i am using Remote Binding which will not be possible if i use HTTP Channel. But i put some time lag between the request then i am delaying the request.

[flexcoders] Re: Scale a Class file (png, gif, etc...)
Hi, Bitmaps aren't usually 'shrinked' (this or another way) as they lose in context. You should use a image processing program to first convert by downsampling to this lower resolution, and if you still can make out what the original image was like, OK. Otherwise you should 'enhance' the result to make up for the lost information. Sorry if there is no easy way to effectively scale down bitmaps.

I've got an application I'm trying to implement a custom layout. I'm trying

to work. Have I missed something obvious?
Also...
When I'm extending Canvas am I changing the correct method to recalculate
the size and position of the children.
Should this ignore canvas and instead extend Container?

[flexcoders] Re: Scale a Class file (png, gif, etc...)
I ran into this same problem and could not find and easy fix. I ended up extending the LinkButton class. I created a button class that can load it's icons on the fly from any where local, net, or embedded. Instead of needing to set them strictly to Class I created a iconSource property. This allowed me to load the image scale it down and then use that scaled image as the icon. This required some trickery as you have to get the icon for each state by name and manually add your custom icons, but it does work just fine. I don't have time to include code right now but I can post some example code later if you would like.

This method is mainly for use in implementing the updateDisplayList() method, which is where you compute this object's actual size based on its explicit size, parent-relative (percent) size, and measured size. You then apply this actual size to the object by calling setActualSize(). In other situations, you should be setting properties such as width, height, percentWidth, or percentHeight rather than calling this method. What about it?

[flexcoders] Embedded .swf's as classes with meta-data not always compiling
I have a few uicomponent classes that have movieclips linked up through metadata. It seems every time that I compile, I have to switch up the base-class from sprite to movieclip in my class, or movieclip to sprite, in order for the code to actually compile into the project. Is there a list of best practices, tutorial, or anything specific I can look at so I can make sure that I am not doing something wrong that obvious... Is it true the difference between the plain old actionscript compiler and the flex compiler, when it comes to compiled embedded clips, that the base class is sprite in flex - if the asset has only one frame, and multiple frames are automatically movieclips. Does this also mean in flash, in the properties i should extend the base class as Sprite instead of movieclip? as always, Thanks for your time. Patrick

By doing this on the highest level UIComponent I could access I was able to

It only works as long as you don't move the mouse outside the container that

Once you mouse out of the container the proxy goes wherever the mouse goes
again.
Pretty weak.

[flexcoders] Re: Java/Flex questions answered by James Ward
make a remote call implementation in java that fills a hashmap or related
object with all the info you want:
init()
{
people = getPeople() ;
towns = getTowns() ;
etc...
}
if you want them 1-by-1 call them in sequence:
getPeople() on responce getTowns and so on...

I don't understand. Each call _IS_ a separate request. Even though Flex
batches them up together, each remoteObject call hits the server as a
separate request. They will return asynchronously. This is what you want so
that you get the data back as fast as possible.

This allowed me to load the image scale it down and then use that scaled image as the icon. This required some trickery as you have to get the icon for each state by name and manually add your custom icons, but it does work just fine.

[flexcoders] Some Qs on Flex Pie Chart
Flex Pie Chart I have recently downloaded the DataVisualization.swc file to do some Flex Charting learning. I have some questions with regards to the Pie Chart (which am focusing at the moment). 1. How Do I specify a gradient for each pie in the pie chart? I see some examples but the gradient fill is pre-determined already (ie. the number of pies are already counted and the gradients are specified for each pie). Flex provides its own fill color for each pie. I want all fill colors to be in gradient and it should be regardless of the number of pies in the chart. 2. Any way to make this pie 3d? 3. How can I specify that the label of the Pie Chart is the percentage of the pie itself, for example, my pie chart contains 3 slices (20, 30, 50). The labels should be 20%, 30% and 50% (the allocated count for each pie divided by the total count). your inputs highly appreciated. Thanks. Thanks.
