[jira] [Commented] (FLEX-33349) TypeError #1009 happening in dataProviderRefreshed() of List.as after a call to endItemEditorSession() in Spark Datagrid

The List.as where the null error occurs is the ComboBox inside the itemEditor. So the scenario is the following: 1- A Spark Datagrid has an itemEditor 2- The itemEditor has an (editable) ComboBox binded to ArrayCollection ac 3- By default, the selectedItem of the Combobox is null 4- The user can choose an item of the ComboBox, or write a new String 5- When he focus out, the itemEditor calls the save() method that dispatches an event 6- The outside component catches the event, and checks if the user wrote a String. If he did, the String is converted to an Object 7- This new object is added to ac, and ac.refresh() is explicitely called. 8- This new object is also assigned to the item that the Combobox selectedItem is binded to, so the ComboBox selectedItem also changes 9- The refresh on ac forces the call of dataProviderRefreshed() on List.as of the Combobox - but ONLY on the second change (still need to understand this one) 10- In the meantime, a modal popup might appear, asking some stuff to the user. When the modal opens, updateCompleteListenerA is called and that's where all hell breaks loose, due to dataGroup being null in dataGroup.removeEventListen[...] of List.as . In other words, it's a ComboBox inside an itemEditor that triggers a RTE when it's dataProvider is refreshed while a popup is shown for the second time with PopupManager. Weird stuff: a) If, in step 10, the modal DOESN'T reuse the same same instance (it's a new instance everytime addPopup is called), the error doesn't happen b) If, in step 10, I decide not to show the modal, the error can still happen by simply changing the currentState of a another component (it's a simple group with label) that has transitions.

Also, as for singletons, they don't get as much MXML love as the rest of the SDK but that doesn't mean you have to give up on them. A few months ago I made a Singleton Enforcer class so that *any* class can be a Singleton and referenced in MXML. The way it works is you declare in the root application or a document an instance of your class /singleton in MXML (yes MXML). This can be any class with instance variables on it (they don't have to be static and you don't need to create a getInstance() method except if you want to reference it in AS). Next, you add a RegisterSingleton MXML class and bind it to that instance. That registers it in Flex's global singleton manager. Then in any component you need it you can declare your singleton class (in MXML) and add a SingletonEnforcer class next to it. When you run your application the Singleton Enforcer class will ensure that that instance is the same instance across the application. Reading previous discussions it sounds like AOT accomplishes the same thing.

RE: [Marketing] - publicity
Another mention here on ZDNet: http://www.zdnet.com/apache-moves-flex-forward-should-flash-be-next-709843/ Perhaps we come up with an official short statement with a link back to the apache flex site to add to many of these articles? Thanks, Justin I do not think that an official short statement is the right path. IMO, the writers are interested in providing information to their readers obtained from someone with an authoritative voice = a persuasive opinion, if you will. .And there's the rub. Who can speak for Apache Flex? We can attempt to answer some of the questions that the author poses in the article you linked to: The future of Adobe Flash, and of course Flex, has been heavily debated with the emergence of HTML 5 and other web app dev technologies. Nevertheless, there are strong backers who maintain that there's still a place for Flash and Flex. Flex was donated to the ASF in late 2011. 1) What is the future of Flash and what is the future of Flex? 2) How does the emergence of the current state of HTML5 and other web app dev technologies change this future? 3) Who are the strong backers who maintain that there's still a place for Flash and Flex and why are they right or wrong? And yet more questions that we can't answer are also posed in the article: Might be nice for Adobe to donate Flash to the ASP, though it's not clear how much of the proprietary Flash and AIR components are part of the company's new lineup of HTML5-based Edge tools. 1) Would donating Flash to the ASP be a good path for Adobe? 2) Are the proprietary components of Flash and AIR part of the company's new lineup of HTML5-based Edge tools? 3) Is Adobe still confident that donating Flex to the ASF was the right move?
[jira] [Created] (FLEX-33351) mx menubar problems using embedded font
gkk created FLEX-33351:
--
Summary: mx menubar problems using embedded font
Key: FLEX-33351
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33351
Project: Apache Flex
Issue Type: Bug
Components: mx: Menu Bar
Affects Versions: Adobe Flex SDK 4.5.1 (Release)
Environment: FlashBuilder 4.6, SDK 4.5.1
Reporter: gkk
1. Copy/paste the below Flex application into your IDE of choice (I'm using
FB4.6, with Flex SDK 4.5.1).
2. Copy Arial.ttf from your system library folder into the workspace folder
you've copied this code.
3. Run the application.
4. Observe that when you select the checkbox to enable variableRowHeight, that
the menuBar does not allow enough vertical height to fit the menu options. This
occurs for all pull-down menus, although it's easier to see when there are a
lot of options (e.g. click on File pull-down and position your mouse over the
last option that appears).
5. Also observe, regardless of variableRowHeight setting, there are visual
artifacts in the menubar. For example, click on Edit1, and observe a gray
vertical line running about 10 pixels to the left of the menu-bar's pull-down
text area. The right-side of the menubar pull-down area has a white pixel
border mistakenly placed between the right-edge of the menubar and the shadow
region.
6. Remove `fontFamily=arial_mx` from the menubar's properties, run the
program again, and observe the menubar looks perfect.
7. As a side note, however, there appears to be functional bug now, in that
when you click, for example, the first item in a pull-down menu (e.g. File
then New in my example below), then click outside the menu to collapse the
menubar, the click again the same pull-down File selection, then mouse-over
the New option (which you previously clicked), Flex doesn't highlight to show
the mouse is hovering over New.).
8. As another aside, I implemented the spark menuBar component from here:
https://github.com/badu/SparkComponents
This did remove the visual artifacts, perhaps because there's no dropshadow.
However, the embedded text appears more blurrly than the already somewhat
blurry embedded text in Adobe's spark (e.g. dataGrid) components. Zooming in on
the text using my Mac's DigitalColor Meter, I can see that Adobe's text, in the
darkest portion, is truly black (0x00) whereas the new spark MenuBar's
embedded spark text (same font settings) is gray (0x626262) (I zoomed in on a
straight letter l as in lobster). The darkest part of the spark menubar
text seems to spill into neighboring pixels, making it appear blurry.

Re: [OT] The end of the SpiceFactory
Speaking of Singletons and frameworks, Robotlegs has solved this problem in a very nice way. They say that a class should not care about how many instances it has. So there are no Singletons but there are dependency injections that will always pass the one and only instance. The logic is the same (there are times when you need only one instance) but the implementation differs.

Re: svn commit: r1433766 - /flex/sdk/branches/develop/ide/checkAllPlayerGlobals.sh
Hi, Also my reading of the license rules under Scenarios Involving Prohibited Works it states. YOU MAY ALSO include a feature within an Apache product that allows the user to explicitly choose to download an optional third-party add-on, as long as that feature also alerts the user of the associated license. Under build scripts is also states: YOU MAY ALSO include within an Apache product a documented, non-default, build option to allow users to explicitly choose to validate, retrieve, or configure any system requirement for an Apache product, provided that such option is not likely to be confused with the standard product build and that any resulting retrieval of a prohibited work is accompanied by a clear identification of its associated license. As this is not part of the standard build script I don't think we need to ask to accept any license but we do need to display it. However I've added a hit Y to accept prompt to the script to be doubly sure and I'll checked it in. Tell me if you agree that we don;t need it and I'll remove the prompt. How exactly is playerglobal.swc licensed? I was unable to find a specific license for it on the Adobe site. Is there a URL for it's license? For now I put in the Adobe SDK license and stated that The playerglobal.swc is part of the Adobe Flex SDK and covered by it's license. is that correct? If not free free to correct. Thanks, Justin
Re: Google Maps
For those willing to use Java we have a solution on how to integrate the Maps JS with Flex. As a matter a fact we provide a 100% binding of the Google Maps API. I should be able to share some more details in a few. Cheers, Alain 2013/1/15 Kessler CTR Mark J mark.kessler@usmc.mil I'm going to guess that as long as you're using the Google API even if it's the JavaScript one you are fine. Just as long as the data is coming through their API using your dev key. However the illegal way would be to scrap their websites or try to access the data directly without going through their API. -Mark -Original Message- From: Avi Kessner [mailto:akess...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2013 12:23 To: dev@flex.apache.org Subject: Re: Google Maps This is making me confused.

True it doesn't - but neither do the other script in that directory. Possibly an issue? The other script doesn't appear to download anything. It looks like it just copies stuff around, and the ruling was that the user had to have accept the license when they previously downloaded the stuff that script copies around. It looked like your script downloads stuff, and all of Adobe's websites try to make very clear the terms of use. We (Apache) should not circumvent that, and probably have an greater responsibility to make the licensing of non-Apache-compatible stuff very apparent. You can freely download the playerglobal from Adobe without accepting a license. http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html The link to the Flash Player rights / terms of use http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayer_usage give a 404.

YOU MAY ALSO include a feature within an Apache product that allows the user to explicitly choose to download an optional third-party add-on, as long as that feature also alerts the user of the associated license. Playerglobal is not optional so this doesn't apply. We got a ruling that playerglobal is a build prerequisite. Under build scripts is also states: YOU MAY ALSO include within an Apache product a documented, non-default, build option to allow users to explicitly choose to validate, retrieve, or configure any system requirement for an Apache product, provided that such option is not likely to be confused with the standard product build and that any resulting retrieval of a prohibited work is accompanied by a clear identification of its associated license. I think the key word here is choose, which I think you are doing with the y/n option you added, because that helps make the identification of its license more clear. As this is not part of the standard build script I don't think we need to ask to accept any license but we do need to display it. However I've added a hit Y to accept prompt to the script to be doubly sure and I'll checked it in. Tell me if you agree that we don;t need it and I'll remove the prompt. Well, in a script, I'm not sure how you can display such that someone can read it without stopping, so I think you will need a y/n. How exactly is playerglobal.swc licensed? It appears to be under Adobe Flex when bundled with Adobe Flex and under the FlashPlayer EULA when you download from the FP downloads page. I was unable to find a specific license for it on the Adobe site. Is there a URL for it's license? For now I put in the Adobe SDK license and stated that The playerglobal.swc is part of the Adobe Flex SDK and covered by it's license. is that correct? If not free free to correct. Probably good enough. Thanks for making the changes. -- Alex Harui Flex SDK Team Adobe Systems, Inc. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui
Re: svn commit: r1433766 - /flex/sdk/branches/develop/ide/checkAllPlayerGlobals.sh
HI, The other script doesn't appear to download anything. /ide/frameworks/makeApacheFlexforFlashBuilder.sh uses curl to download several things including the 11.1 playergolobal.swc. and all of Adobe's websites try to make very clear the terms of use Totally unclear to me especially in that case as none of the licences refer to playerglobal specifically. .We (Apache) should not circumven that, I'm certainly not trying to do that. My intention is to make the SDK: a) Easier to reliably use and test. Currently we have no way of knowing which playerglobal.swc you are actually using. Copying files about of the same same give a large potential for confusion. Note the md5 checks in the script. b) Make it easier for users to use the version of the flash player they want to with the SDK. Thanks, Justin
Re: Falcon functional tests
What were the errors? They run without error for me.

That seems like a problem. If Om's installer had to require acceptance, this script should as well. and all of Adobe's websites try to make very clear the terms of use Totally unclear to me especially in that case as none of the licences refer to playerglobal specifically. Yup, very confusing. You should show the FP EULA. In theory, newer playerglobals aren't covered by the Adobe Flex SDK license, only the version Adobe bundled (11.1) .We (Apache) should not circumven that, I'm certainly not trying to do that.

We just have to automate visiting the Adobe site and viewing that paragraph about usage terms, which I think you've done. -- Alex Harui Flex SDK Team Adobe Systems, Inc. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui

Hi, Yup, very confusing. You should show the FP EULA. I've change the app to use show the links to the 10.2/10.3 and 11.X FP EULAs. I may be in violatation of the EULA specifically: You may install and Use one copy of the Software on your Compatible Computer. I've lost count of exactly how many playerplobals.swc files I have scattered about :-) Justin
