[Flashcoders] Flex 2 Datagrid/Tabnavigator bug?
Hi,
I have some serious problems refreshing content in a Flex2 beta2 datagrid,
located inside a tabnavigator.
The content consists of mailheaders, and the grid could (of course) contain
0-many mails.
The data is captured from a DB, via HTTPService. The datagrid is loaded
with:
try {
uMailGrid.dataProvider = arrUMails;
} catch (e:Error) {
uMailGrid.data = arrUMails;
}
Is there a better way to do this?
And for my major concern: why doesn´t the datagrid refresh???
uMailGrid.freeItem doesn´t has no effect.
It seems like the user have to click through the tabs in order to have the
items activated / properly drawn.
There must b something buggy about this, or?
Thanks,
Fredrik Sandberg

Here here :) Trust me, when you start using it, you'll be amazed... The part I like most is the portability. I can't see any reason you couldn't run haXe from a CD if that's what you wanted.

Whether one uses Ruby, PHP or mothers_mouthwash, all one is doing is using xmlSendAndLoad() (or similar function) to call a script and retrieve results. What's the big deal? Most of the time, you need to encode some kind of values into XML, then decode them on the other side. This XML protocol need to evolve with your application, everytime you need to add a new functionality. Also, you get virtualy 0 warantee that of what will happen if the protocol is not respected, if an attribute is forgotten for example. This can open a lot of holes in your application that can be exploited (you might not care at all but it's important in some particular cases). In haXe what you will be able to do is to just do some calls between server and client transparently just like you'ld do method calls, and send data over the network (not xml, but structured objects) just like Remoting. But in haXe, you will also be able to send *classes* through the network, since it's the same language it's ok as long as the class is available on the other side as well. Other nice features includes : - a very Fexible type system : strongly typed by default, with Dynamic features to write dynamicly type stuff when you don't feel like being bothered. - type inference so you don't have to write types everywhere - conditional compilation : you can make some specific optimizations for Flash8 / Flash8.5, have different compilable versions (like Release and Debug) and everything else you need - a fast reusable compiler, just like MTASC - improved runtime errors reporting - quick usability, if you now already ActionScript or JavaScript, jumping to haXe is pretty straightforward - the ability to reuse some part of your code on the server and client side at the same time (rewriting complex form validation code on the client in JS and on the server in PHP is NOT funny :) - 30 times faster VM than PHP, if you're interested in speed ... and much more Nicolas ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
RE: [Flashcoders] Using Flash with Ruby on Rails
Ruby can handle XML... That's all that's required. If Ruby is all you can handle, then use it. It is more than enough for your needs, but as your programming skills develop (and they definitely will), you'll want a more portable system. Lee -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chad Royer Sent: 23 March 2006 22:13 To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Using Flash with Ruby on Rails Here's where I'm coming from. Like I said, I'm more of a designer than a programmer. I really grasp the logic behind OO structures so I'm able to understand what I need to accomplish with my code to get things working nicely, but I don't have a 'words' brain, so if I'm not writing in a particular language every day, I quickly forget what I know as far as actual syntax and code structure. I can write with php, but it takes a long time to step thru simple things and make them work, and if I go a few days without writing php then I have to figure it all out again. I can do quite a bit in Actionscript, since that's really where I started, but I only have room in my brain for so much of that stuff, and even some of the advanced AS stuff flies right thru my head without making any serious contact. That was what I found attractive about ruby on rails... that I can focus on logical application structure and make things work pretty well without having to deal with syntax details that I just can't seem to keep in my noggin. For most of the things I do, simple database connectivity is really enough, but I'm also trying to build some applications that are quite a bit more complex. Ultimately for the more complex projects, I'd prefer to be able to knock out a prototype that 'works' relatively quickly and without having to learn all of PHP or whatever, then hire a 'real' programmer to make it all proper. RoR also seems like it would make it very easy to deal with building both xhtml/css versions and flash versions of the same site. Again, I know that can be done with php and everything else, but would involve much more actual coding to do so. I just started looking into RoR a couple of days ago, so I haven't decided that it's the king setup or anything like that, but it seems to work the way I think. The only thing I hadn't been able to find much info about is how to get results from ruby to flash. If it's just a matter of pumping xml out of RoR and parsing it in flash, then cool... If there's something that could work better, given my perspective, I'd be happy to hear about that too. To me, haxe looks like AS with just enough subtle differences to confuse the hell outa me, tho I do understand what they're doing. I hope that clarifies what I'm getting at... if RoR is suitable as a backend for flash, essentially, and what needs to be done to pass variables back and forth. I'm not interested in 'chasing the language of the day' as you put it, either. I'd like to find one setup that works for me and stick with it. thanks once again. and thanks also to chris allen for your insight on haxe, and to mark daggett for the answer I was really looking for... I would love to see some examples of how you set up that integration with JSON and the javascript integration kit (tho if I could do it without javascript I think I'd be happier). -chad Message: 8 Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 15:18:59 -0400 From: Miles Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Using Flash with Ruby on Rails To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-FBA73C4 I don't get it.

I read that article, but this is just one man's opinions. I'm not saying he's wrong, but some of his points largely depend on the usage of the singleton itself (specifically #4). #2 kind of sounds like bullshit to me too. Sure, you can split a singleton into two classes, fine, one for creation and one for the class itself. I just don't see the point. Single responsibility deals with required changes. I don't see how the singleton aspect of the class would ever require a change (correct me if I'm wrong). In fact, if you look at a lot of windowing toolkits for operating systems, you will see singleton usage scattered throughout. Just a few I can think of offhand in Apple's Cocoa (a beautifully designed framework in my opinion): Color panel Font panel ...in fact, all panels Application User Defaults It seems to me (because I've never run into any problems) that careful use of singletons is an okay thing to do.

The first question is: Is it good practice or should it be avoided at all cost? Anyway, I have been trying to extend one, but the problem is that instance variables are not accessible in the class that extends the singleton (and which is also a singleton). So for instance, take a class A that has a properties instance variable that holds key/value pairs. That var is initialized in the constructor. A.getInstance() gives me the single instance. B extends A, and B.getInstance() gives me the single instance of B. But since it extends A, A's constructor is called (although it is private, a camouflaged protected in AS2) and the properties var is instantiated again. Get the picture? B will have a properties instance var but it will not be the same as the one in the singleton of A. Am I overlooking something very obvious here or is this actually hard to accomplish? I changed it from inheritance to using A.getInstance() internally which works; but now I have to add wrapper methods for every method in A/ /I want to make available. thx in advance, Christophe ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
RE: [Flashcoders] upload a file
Sorry, I've never really needed to use it, though there is an example in
the Flash help docs.
The following example creates a FileReference object that prompts the
user to select an image or text file to be uploaded. It also listens for
any possible event.
import flash.net.FileReference;
var allTypes:Array = new Array();
var imageTypes:Object = new Object();
imageTypes.description = Images (*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.gif, *.png);
imageTypes.extension = *.jpg; *.jpeg; *.gif; *.png;
allTypes.push(imageTypes);
var textTypes:Object = new Object();
textTypes.description = Text Files (*.txt, *.rtf);
textTypes.extension = *.txt;*.rtf;
allTypes.push(textTypes);
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onSelect = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace(onSelect: + file.name);
if(!file.upload(http://www.yourdomain.com/yourUploadHandlerScript.cfm;)
) {
trace(Upload dialog failed to open.);
}
}
listener.onCancel = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace(onCancel);
}
listener.onOpen = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace(onOpen: + file.name);
}
listener.onProgress = function(file:FileReference, bytesLoaded:Number,
bytesTotal:Number):Void {
trace(onProgress with bytesLoaded: + bytesLoaded + bytesTotal:
+ bytesTotal);
}
listener.onComplete = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace(onComplete: + file.name);
}
listener.onHTTPError = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace(onHTTPError: + file.name);
}
listener.onIOError = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace(onIOError: + file.name);
}
listener.onSecurityError = function(file:FileReference,
errorString:String):Void {
trace(onSecurityError: + file.name + errorString: +
errorString);
}
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.addListener(listener);
fileRef.browse(allTypes);
Seems to me, this example is all that you'll need for the front end.

I am not understanding something - I don't have to include my .as class files along with my swf file when I publish. And how would I make sure Const is loaded?

Re: [Flashcoders] IE vulnerability
You could always just tell that the IE is a buggy and insecure browser - and that in order to use your application, active scripting must be enabled. If your client balks then tell them IE is vulnerable with any web technology - it is just a piece of crap application. Explain to your client that you could just as easily create a signed java applet that would load a virus through JNI that could do anything it wants to a user's PC. It is up to users to be vigilant and aware of the vulnerabilities in their applications. For trusted sites, users should allow active scripting. For sketchy sites, users shouldn't. In any case, you as a developer should let users know that active scripting is required to run your site in the same way that you would let them know that Flash or javascript must be enabled - or develop without any Flash or javascript calls to the browser. You cannot be expected to seamlessly handle every moron user's ignorance about 'dat innernet thing'. There is only so much a developer can do to coddle users before they have to take responsibility for their online activity.

[Flashcoders] AS equation trouble making my own scrollbar
Hi list, in my poor english i will try to explain my need
I made a scroll MC behind a mask, which is controlled horizontally by
another MC (such as scrollbar) it works but not so fine, because the
scrolling MC don't fit with de slider MC
you can see it at
http://www.e-foco.com.ar/prestigio/sucursales.php by clicking on Nuevas suc.
Actually I have:
scrollSize = big MC width
maskSize = mask width
sliderSize = slider width = maskSize/scrollSize*100;
for the movements are defined by:
function updateScroll() {
var ratio = (scrollSize/maskSize *sliderSize /100);
_root.sucContainer._x = -_root.slider._x*ratio;
}
The issue is that when the slider reach it's right limit, the
bigMC(sucContainer) still have a portion to show. I understand that my
equation is not working fairly accurately but I couldn't see my error.
Any idea will be appreciated
Thanks a lot

Re: [Flashcoders] A lack of understanding re static methods
HI Dave,
It's my understanding that that _should_ work. However,
Const.portfolioPath isn't replaced at compile time - Flash has no
native understanding of constants. But at runtime, Const.portfolioPath
should certainly return your hardcoded path.
The only immediate things I can think of which might throw this off are:
- The loader movie (not resources.swf) contains a different verstion
of the Const class. The first version of any class loaded by Flash is
the one that is used throughout the app, regardless of what's compiled
into movies loaded later on.
- The loader movie is compiled for a different version of Flash
Player from the resources movie. From memory, a Flash 7 movie has a
_different_ global variable space from a Flash 8 movie (or is it 6 and
7? Can't remember offhand), even if they're both running in the same
player.
HTH,
Ian
On 3/23/06, Dave Mennenoh [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Can someone kindly point out my lack of understanding here - so that I don't
need to use any globals I created some static getter and setter methods in a
class I call Const - for constants. Here's a short version, but enough to

class Const {
static function get portfolioPath():String {
return hardCoded path to my images folder;
}
}
Within my resources movie I say something like:
myLoader.loadClip(Const.portfolioPath + imageName.jpg, picHolder);
This works great. But, when I load resources.swf into my navigation movie,
Const.portfolioPath is showing undefined. This has me baffled. I thought the
reference to Const.portfolioPath would be replaced with the hardCoded path
to my images folder when the resources.swf was compiled... Evidently it's
not though?
To get around this I created a portfolioPath timeline variable within
navigation and then reference it from resources using _root.portfolioPath,
but this isn't how I'd prefer to do it.
Thanks.

Thanks Ian. This is pretty much what I need except actual Locale would be better (only because it doesn't differential en-us from en-uk).

[FlashCoders] BitmapData.dispose()
Hello,
Quick question.
private function createBitmap():Void {
var bitmap:BitmapData = new Bitmap(200, 200, false, 0xFF);
clip.attachBitmap(bitmap, 0);
}
If I never execute .dispose() on the bitmap, does it remain in memory?
It seems logical to me that it remains there only until the function is
finished. It's a local variable so I would expect the memory gets freed
as soon as the local variable dies.
Thanks!

Re: [FlashCoders] BitmapData.dispose()
bitmapData remains in memory, even when the bitmapData objects refrence
count reaches zero, in which case, dispose() can no longer be called on the
bitmapData object, causing memory leak.
There is more on this subject, you should find more information on it
searching google, the flashcoders archive, and so forth. To my knowledge,
this behavior persists in the newest commerical player release.

Re: [FlashCoders] BitmapData.dispose()
Thank you all guys. I think this makes it rather difficult
to deal with if you use bitmaps a lot.
I've built a complex RasterText class that works with bitmaps
and in some cases it's very useful to render the text, get the
resulting bitmap and then destroy the RasterText instance. The
bitmap could then be attached on a movieclip. If you do that
with dozens of bitmaps it's a pain to keep track of all of them in
seperate variables.
Anyway,
Thanks a lot!

Re: [Flashcoders] IE vulnerability

[Flashcoders] Beware of depth 9876
I suppose this has been discussed a few times already, but if not: When you use the Tween class, an Instance of the Class mx.transitions.OnEnterFrameBeacon is created if not already existing. In that Class the following line is executed: var mc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip (__OnEnterFrameBeacon, 9876); which means that if you have anything at that depth (9876) already, it will disappear. You can confirm this by a simple test like pasting the following code in the first frame of your movie: (change the depth to 9875 or 9877 and see the difference..) --- import mx.transitions.Tween; this.createEmptyMovieClip(square_mc, 9876); square_mc.beginFill(0xFF); square_mc.moveTo(10, 10); square_mc.lineTo(100, 10); square_mc.lineTo(100, 100); square_mc.lineTo(10, 100); square_mc.lineTo(10, 10); square_mc.endFill(); var myTween:Tween = new Tween(square_mc, _x, mx.transitions.easing.Elastic.easeOut, 0, 300, 3, true); So if you are in a large dynamic project swapping depths a lot and using Tweens, and been experiencing strange problems, this may be worth to know... All cred to Robert Penner (obviously the genius behind the Tween Class), but I think this detail could have been improved on before shipping with Flash 8. Sorry if this has been discussed already...

[Flashcoders] Flash and Servlet
Hi: Really new to Servlet and Flash functionality. So, the doubt may seem basic. Any help would be great. I am trying to call a Java Servlet that supports doPost method. It uploads an XML file on the application server and names that file based on certain details (userid, etc). I can use the servlet using html form. In Flash, I know that we need to use LoadVars. But what function/ method I use for specifying the file that needs to be uploaded before actually doing LoadVars.sendAndLoad?

With LoadVars, you dynamically assign a property So basically, var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars(); lv.xmlContents = xmlString; lv.sendAndLoad(...); The doPost method will be passed the request containing the xmlContents variable.

RE: [Flashcoders] System.Locale
We changed it as of Flash Player 7 because the locale isn't really a language setting, it only deals with formatting of dates, times, etc., so it was misleading to call it System.capabilities.language. Moreover, there was no way in Flash Player 6 to get information about the actual localized OS version. We thought it would be far more useful to get information about the actual language of the localized version of the OS, as opposed to the setting for dates, times, etc. == Flash Player 6 System.capabilities.language == Windows User Locale This is an excerpt from the Windows documentation for User Locale (http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/localetable.mspx): The user locale determines, which default settings a user wants to use for formatting dates, times, currency, and large numbers.

All menus, dialog, error messages, and help files are in this language, except on Windows 2000 Multilanguage Version, where the user can select a different language.
