If the service returned an empty AC, I would verify that the DG has really
been assigned that empty AC.  Read back the dataProvider on the DG and see
what its length is.  You can also try to manually reset the DG to an empty
AC and see if it refreshes that way.

Alex, the HTTPService returns an empty arraycollection, but the 
datagrid still has the values from the last call.

How do I in the code refresh the arraycollection, since the 'refresh
()' did not work?

Thanks

 I use a HTTPService to load data into an ArrayCollection which is 
used 
 for a datagrid. For example I type in a parameter A to the 
 HTTPService that returns data that gets loaded in to 
ArrayCollectin.
 
 However when I when resend the HTTPservice with parameter B that 
 returns no data, the datagrid still displays the value of 
parameter A.
 
 I've tried:
 
 httpservice.send(); // To get new values
 arraycollection.refresh(). // To refresh the datagrid.
 
 But no luck.

It seems the following should do it:

private function copyColumnData(ac:ArrayCollection, 
sourceDataField:String, destDataField:String):void
{
//you could use the real object type here instead of Object

   //checks for hasOwnProperty not necessary if you are using

   if(obj.hasOwnProperty(sourceDataField)

[flexcoders] Problem with OC4J web services and Flex3 SOAPEncoder

2008-04-07 Thread jannemaijanen
Hello!

I got a problem trying to execute a web service running in Oracle 
OC4j 10.1.3.3, and a client side with Flex3. I generated the scripts 
for using the web service using Flex builder 3, but it's not making a 
valid call to web service. I debugged the call operation to the Flex 
SOAPEncoder which seems to generate an invalid soap message. The 
SOAPEncoder generates the following message;

SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/
envelope/ xmlns=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema; 
xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance;
SOAP-ENV:Body
tns:getDocuments xmlns:tns=http://modultek.atonpdm.document/;
tns:getDocuments
tns:String_1service manual/tns:String_1
/tns:getDocuments
/tns:getDocuments
/SOAP-ENV:Body
/SOAP-ENV:Envelope

Where the correct working soap message should be;

SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/
envelope/ xmlns=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema; 
xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance;
SOAP-ENV:Body
tns:getDocuments xmlns:tns=http://modultek.atonpdm.document/;
tns:String_1service manaual/tns:String_1
/tns:getDocuments
/SOAP-ENV:Body
/SOAP-ENV:Envelope

Problem in the first message is that Flex SOAPEncoder generates an 
extra tns:getDocuments child tag, and Oracle app server can't 
handle it. 

Has someone any idea why SOAPEncoder is generating the extra 
operation tag, and is this behaviour configurable somehow or is the 
soapencoder broken?

[flexcoders] Re: Question regarding mx:List and itemRenderer

2008-04-07 Thread tchredeemed
Thank you very much tracy, I have been reading about it and it is working 
perfectly now.

Of course have to set up a few different tweaks ;)

--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tracy Spratt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Yes.  Google: Alex Harui itemRenderer recycle
 
 You will find a full explanation and lots of example code.
 
  
 
 Briefly:  For performance reasons, the list-based conponents only
 renderer enough UI elements to display what is visible to the user ,
 plus a few for buffering.  Anytime you interact with the List (or DG),
 like scroll, or update the underlying data, Flex manipulates the
 underlying list and sends the changed dataProvider item object to the
 appropriate itemRenderer, which must use that data to change its
 appearance as needed.
 
  
 
 In this recycle process, the framework calls the itemRenderer's set
 data() function, passing in the new item object.  This means your item
 renderer must override set data(o:Object), and then use that passed in
 data to set itself up.  Best practice is to save the data in a var, then
 call invalidateProperties().  This makes the framework, at the correct,
 optimized time, call the item renderer's commitProperties() method.  You
 should do the actual UI work in this function, using the data you saved
 in set data();
 
  
 
 All this is in the interest of performance on large lists.
 
  
 
 See Alex's blog for all the details.

  Why is it that, when I have two lists, if I drag between the two of
  them, sometimes the 
  itemRenderer will display data / colors from an incorrect item in the
  List.
  
  For instance:
  
  List A:
  [ item 1 ]
  [ item 2 ]
  
  List B:
  [ item 3 ]
  [ item 4 ]
  
  If I move [ item 2 ] to List b:
  
  List A: 
  [ item 1 ]
  
  List B:
  [ item 3 ]
  [ item 4 ]
  [ item 2 ]
  
  Then I move [ item 4 ] to List A:
  
  List A:
  [ item 1 ]
  [ item 4 ]
  
  List B:
  [ item 3 ]
  [ item 2 ]
  
  [ item 4 ] will display some properties that [ item 2 ] should have,
  seemingly because I put 
  it in [ item 2 ]'s position in List A.
  
  Is this common and is there something simple to fix this?

[flexcoders] Using Embedded and System Fonts in same text field

2008-04-07 Thread a.hawksworth230
Hi everyone, I'm having some trouble with embedded fonts. I have read 
many many threads/posts about embedded fonts and haven't really 
gotten anywhere so far.

No matter what I have tried I cannot seem to apply an embedded font 
to a section of text and have a system font applied to another 
section of text within the same text field. It almost seems as if you 
are restricted to using either system fonts or embedded fonts in the 
same text field.

Iv'e got a sample application below which allows me to apply multiple 
fonts to different selections with a text field - however when I pick 
one of my embedded fonts, a default system font is used in its place:

mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; 
layout=absolute 
creationComplete=creationComplete(event)

  mx:Style source=.\stylesheets\primary.css/

  mx:VBox id=vb
mx:Label text=My Title fontFamily=AdLib RM/
mx:TextArea id=textArea fontSize=26 width=200 height=50/
mx:ComboBox id=fontComboBox dataProvider={fontFamilyArray} 
labelField=fontName change=fontComboBox_change(event)/
  /mx:VBox

  mx:Script
![CDATA[   
  use namespace mx_internal;

  [Bindable] private var fontFamilyArray:Array;

  private function creationComplete(event:Event):void
  {
fontFamilyArray = Font.enumerateFonts(true);
fontFamilyArray.sortOn(fontName, Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);
  }

  private function fontComboBox_change(event:Event):void
  {
var tf:TextFormat = textArea.getTextField().getTextFormat();
var beginIndex:int = textArea.getTextField
().selectionBeginIndex;
var endIndex:int = textArea.getTextField().selectionEndIndex;

tf.font = fontComboBox.selectedLabel;
textArea.getTextField().setTextFormat(tf, beginIndex, 
endIndex);

textArea.invalidateDisplayList();
textArea.validateDisplayList();
  }
]]
  /mx:Script

/mx:Application

I know the font has been embedded correctly because the label control 
has the correct font applied to it.

If I initialise the font property on the text area to my embedded 
font (fontFamily=AdLib RM) then when I start typing into the text 
area the font is correct - and I can select any of the other embedded 
fonts and they work fine. But selecting a system font for part of the 
text now causes the text to become hidden.

Any advice would be grately appreciated.

[flexcoders] Re: How can I clear an ArrayCollection or Datagrid

2008-04-07 Thread Dmitri Girski
Hi Alex,

I believe that there is a bug/feature with binding HTTPService result
to a DataGrid. If HTTPService returns empty result (null), DataGrid
won't be cleared from a previous values.

To overcome this problem I had to use a dataProvider
variable(ArrayCollection) which I clear every time before the request
and then copy values from HTTPService.

Before this topic I thought that this is feature, but after I saw your
comments it is definitely a bug :)

PS  I have not found any other way of resetting the DataGrid. If you
assign dataProvider to an empty ArrayCollection it won't help
(presumably because DataGrid needs collectionChange event and nothing
else)



Cheers,
Dmitri.

When the app loads, a login Panel is displayed in the default look and feel

basically, the default style is initially shown for a split second and then it

[flexcoders] Adding Shape Objects to Canvas control

2008-04-07 Thread Mike Anderson
Hello All,

I am trying to add my custom shape objects (which create several
different shape types), to a different type of container, and I am
having some difficulties.

From my experience, you can directly add a Shape (flash.display.shape)
as children to UIComponents, but you cannot add them to a Canvas
Control.

When I try to add a Shape to Canvas controls, Flex tries to cast the
Object as a UIComponent.

My question is, how can I convert my custom shape objects, so that they
can be added to Canvas controls?  Do I need to wrap my objects into a
different type of component (UIComponent).

The reason I like Shapes, is because they are so lightweight - but if
there is a better way, I'd be very interested in hearing about it.

Thank you in advance for all your help on this.

RE: [flexcoders] AIR SQL - Datatype issues

2008-04-07 Thread Kevin Aebig
Hi Fidel,

 

Actually, the version of SQLite that AIR uses has been customized to
implement dates as julian dates and stores them as REAL. My issue arises in
that I'm getting the dates originally from a MySQL DateTime column and still
want to be able to use that form of formatting to query the local database
with date ranges and ordering.

 

It would be nice if there were better examples of using the AIR SQL engine.

The database engine used in Air is SQLite. I am not that experienced

datatypes. I have seen people use Text and Real for storing date
values. So, just do a search on the web for sqlite.

I've got 4 NumericSteppers; and the problem I'm having is one I can't 
get my head 'round: the values of all the NumericSteppers have to add 
up to 100.

On the whole I could easily check via a 'submit' button if they don't 
addup, but I'd like to check on any of the stepper's 'change' function 
-- what I was thinking was:

As a one is going up, the maximum of all the others goes down in a 
cycle (ie if someone is putting numB, then C then D -- they're max 
slowly goes down.

If the max value of a numeric stepper meets the current value of that 
stepper, and there's no more 'room' -- then the user can't keep 
increasing the size of the current numeric.

Is this making sense? In other words, how does one tie in the value of 
one stepper with another to equal 100. Sure, having 2 steppers makes 
it easier somewhat, but with 4 I don't know how best to pay attention 
to them all while still keeping the numbers validating.

I'd appreciate any thoughts.

 



[flexcoders] Re: Connecting 2 mxml files in flex

2008-04-07 Thread Tracy Spratt
First we need to be understand your question.  One does not connect 
two mxml files.  mxml is a source code format, not a runtime 
entity.  The source code files do not necessarily have any relation 
to the runtime architecture.  You must phrase your question in terms 
of the runtime functionality you desire.

Running Flex apps consist of components.  Components can be assembled 
and instantiated in many ways.  Options include sub-components, 
Containers, Navigation Components, SWFLoader, ModuleLoader, and 
separete applications (maybe a few more).

Communication between run time component instances can also be done 
in many ways.

Before we can help, we need to know more about your application 
functionality, and how your have implemented that functionality.  If 
you have not begun to implement it yet, start with the docs,

Re: [flexcoders] Drop anywhere to remove

2008-04-07 Thread Troy Gilbert
 that's what I was afraid of - anyone know of any other ways around it?

You'll have to create a new DragProxy class to change this behavior.
To do this, you'll need to monkey patch (google it, you'll find it)
the framework's DragProxy class. Once you do that, you can change the
logic it uses for allowing a drop, or simply insert your remove code
directly.

Another option is to simply do the checking in addition to the work
the DragManager does. So, when you start the drag operation, start
listening on the stage (or SystemManager) for the mouse up event. When
the mouse up event occurs, look at the currentTarget or target (or do
a hitTest) to figure out where the mouse up occurred. If its in a
trash it section of the screen, do the delete.

You can also listen for mouse move and update the drag proxy cursor as
it goes performing the same tests.

Its the beauty of the event system, and the fact that (as far as I can
remember) the DragProxy class isn't consuming the mouse events.

What he is saying is that if you simply enable dataTips, Then Flex
should show the value of the column's dataField property, but only if it
is too long to fit in the cell.

 

However, If you are using a dataTipFunction, you are responsible for
showing/not Showing the dataTip.

 

Are you seeing differently?  And you are not using a dataTipFunction to

[flexcoders] Re: HttpService post error 2032:iostream error

2008-04-07 Thread Carlos Reyes
I believe I've run into the same problem. I haven't checked the length
of the POST data, but I'll bet it's over 1022 bytes.

This is under Windows XP, Internet Explorer, and the latest Flash
(9,0,115,0). I'm seeing the same behavior with Opera under Windows.
Firefox is fine, Apple Safari (under Windows) is fine too. Firefox under
Linux is fine. The data gets to the server okay. It seems that the
problem is related to the Flash ActiveX wrapper.

I'm communicating with Amazon S3, so I don't have a lot of control over
the settings. If I got more information with the error, I could ignore
it. But all I get is 2032 Stream Error. Very frustrating and scary for
my customers (over 50% of which use IE).

I haven't tried WireShark under Windows, but I'm afraid I just don't
have much control over what Amazon S3 responds with.

The response packet just says 204 No Content. There is no body.
Obviously, the ActiveX wrapper is taking this to mean that something

[flexcoders] Example of connecting to Microsoft Olap server

2008-04-07 Thread Phil Jeary
Hi all,

I have found posts stating that Flex can connect to an Olap server.  I 
have found examples of Flex connecting to Xml data for Olap.

What I am looking for is Flex connecting to Olap directly using 
msmdpump.dll
I'd like to see what it can do.  Do I specify what dimensions, members, 
filters etc there are, it gets the data and displays it, do I just give 
it the connection and the user can pick those things are does it do 
both?

If anyone can shed any more light on connecting to msmdpump.dll it 
would be much appreciated as i'm completely stumped.

Kind regards,

[flexcoders] Local file access

2008-04-07 Thread Steve Mathews
One of the noticeable differences between Silverlight and Flash is the way
they handle local file access. In Flash we have to upload a file to the
server before we can gain access to the file's contents. In Silverlight you
get access to the file as soon as it is selected by the user. My question is
if anyone knows if the way Flash does it is because of security concerns
(meaning Silverlight might have to change), or not (meaning Flash 'could'
change)? I have to say that I really like the way Silverlight handles it as
there is no round-trip delay before a user can start using the file in your
RIA.

it returns null and set the array collection to an empty array
collection it should reset the DG.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: How can I clear an ArrayCollection or Datagrid

 

Hi Alex,

I believe that there is a bug/feature with binding HTTPService result
to a DataGrid. If HTTPService returns empty result (null), DataGrid
won't be cleared from a previous values.

To overcome this problem I had to use a dataProvider
variable(ArrayCollection) which I clear every time before the request
and then copy values from HTTPService.

Before this topic I thought that this is feature, but after I saw your
comments it is definitely a bug :)

PS I have not found any other way of resetting the DataGrid. If you
assign dataProvider to an empty ArrayCollection it won't help
(presumably because DataGrid needs collectionChange event and nothing
else)

Cheers,
Dmitri.

For example, item renderers for Ask Price and Ask

You should set the Text's width to some portion of the item renderer's

Note that ListItemRenderer already does wordwrapping and uses TextField

[flexcoders] Blazeds sqladmin processing resultSet List data

2008-04-07 Thread netdeep

I'm trying to get ArrayCollection mapped to an array using the Blazeds turnkey 
sample 
code.  In the sqladmin example, they are creating a List object in the Java 
code by 
executing the SQL query and storing it like this:

// relevant code...

while (rs.next()) {
row=new HashMap();
for (int i = 1; i = colCount; i++) {
row.put(rsmd.getColumnName(i), rs.getString(i));
}
list.add(row);
}
}

Then they put this result in a dataGrid:

mx:DataGrid id=dg dataProvider={resultSet} width=100% height=100%/

and the following method.

private function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void{
resultSet = ArrayCollection(event.result);
}

I'd like to display the same data in a chart, but I don't know how to do this.  
What I'd like 
to do is something like this:

//pseudo code
Horizontal Axis (x) = Data from Column 1
Vertical Axis (y) = Data from Column 2

..or something like that.  Anyone know what class the HashMap/List is sending 
back so 
that I can convert the info into Dates or numbers or somethow get it to show up 
on the 
chart?

I was trying something like this, but it doesn't work:

var axisArray:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection;
for each (var obj:Object in resultSet) {
var f:Number = new Number(obj);
result.addItem(f);
}
// axis data provider = axisArray

removeAll() should do exactly what you are looking for, but only if 
your dataGrid's dataprovider is bound to the arrayCollection. If your 
dataGrid is not bound to the arrayCollection, the dataGrid will not 
change as data in the arrayCollection changes (unless you have 
accounted for this programatically elsewhere). If you do not want to 
use binding, the easiest thing would be to add a collection_change 
eventListener on the arrayCollection so you can clear out or update 
the dataGrid as the arrayCollection data changes.

[flexcoders] Re: HttpService post error 2032:iostream error

2008-04-07 Thread Dmitri Girski
OK, guys, I'll try to summarise my painful experience with HTTPService.

Things which could go wrong:
- HTTPService settings, i.e. type of the parameters object. You should
check that if you send XML, the type of the object is XML and
content-type is application/xml
- I had a lot of mysterious problems with #2032 error, so I ended up
with a solution to create HTTPService object, send data and then
disconnect() it and kill (assign a null). As soon as the FlashPlayer
code is closed unfortunately we have no idea how it works with sockets
and what are the real error codes we get.

-requests could be cached by the browser/server, to prevent this it is
a good idea always add some random number parameter to the request URL
(someURL?nocache=xyz)

-server side (PHP)
magic sequence to prevent caching
header('Pragma: bogus');
header('Cache-control: bogus');
similar things should be done for other servers, check Judah's blog:
http://www.judahfrangipane.com/blog/?p=87

header('Expires: 0') - causes a lot of #2032's

- error #2032 could be produced in certain cases when server replies
with unexpected response. Usually we see #1090 - XML parser error, but
sometimes, #2032 is thrown. I happens when server replies with
anythinh else rather then 200 code and also some problems with PHP -
it is always wise to check server logs for any errors.


-combination Apache2 + SSL + Gentoo + HTTPService does not work. This
is just a matter of fact. I didn't have time nor resources to
investigate it further, but FreeBSD + Apache1 + SSL + HTPPService
works seamlessly. I suspect that Apache2+SSL + FlashPlayer have some
problem with packet resends during the error recovery - this is the
only result I've got looking through megs of Wireshark logfiles. 

The result of this combination was #2032 error due to the timeouts in
the network - if SSL connection is dropped there was a little chance
that it will be renegotiated again.



PS I have not dealt with Charles, but I highly recommend Wireshark -
this thing sits at the lowest level and allows you to see the raw
network packets. And it is free.


Cheers,
Dmitri.

  Subject: [flexcoders] How can I clear an ArrayCollection or 
 Datagrid
  
  
  
  I use a HTTPService to load data into an ArrayCollection which is 
 used 
  for a datagrid. For example I type in a parameter A to the 
  HTTPService that returns data that gets loaded in to 
 ArrayCollectin.
  
  However when I when resend the HTTPservice with parameter B that 
  returns no data, the datagrid still displays the value of 
 parameter A.
  
  I've tried:
  
  httpservice.send(); // To get new values
  arraycollection.refresh(). // To refresh the datagrid.
  
  But no luck.
  
  Thanks

jon,
thanks! my polygons are only triangles and quadrilaterals at this point, but 
your method works beautifully for 
concave quads. I did have to change one line (which appears a few times) in 
order to compile:

w += 2 * ( p[ip].y  
p[i].y ) - 1;

became:

w += 2 * (( p[ip].y  
p[i].y ) ? 1 : 0) - 1;

I am new to AS, so this may have been unnecessary or they may have been a more 
elegant way to do this.

thanks again.

[flexcoders] Flex 3 GA Designer doesn't work with my modules

2008-04-07 Thread dbronk
In Flex 3 Beta I had no issues doing this, in Flex 3 GA it does not
work and I'm wondering if any of you have seen this issue.

I have extended Module to MyModule and added code that I need.  My
Flex builder is setup into three projects.  AppProject, ModuleProject,
and FrameworkProject.

My Framework is compiled to my.swc and is in the lib folder of both
ModuleProject and AppProject.  Both have the swc correctly setup in
the project properties.

When I open one of my Modules in code view it works great.  But when I
go over to design view I get an error message in the middle of the
design view with the the text An unknown item is declared as teh root
of your MXML document.  Switch to source mode to correct it.

In the Problems view it shows a warning: Design mode: Cannot load
my.swc (reason: ERROR: Load Verify).  It may require classes (such as
Adobe AIR components) that are not supported by design mode.  Check
the Eclipse error log for more details.

This used to come up just fine in design view with Flex 3 beta.  If I
remove my.swc from my ModuleProject and instead add a new source file
that points to the src folder of my FrameworkProject it works.  But I
don't want this as it causes compiles to be much longer and it is not
the way I need it to work since our customers will be able to build
their own Modules based off of our Framework and I don't want to give
them anything more than a swc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dale

 it is always wise to check server logs for any errors.


 -combination Apache2 + SSL + Gentoo + HTTPService does not work. This

 problem with packet resends during the error recovery - this is the
 only result I've got looking through megs of Wireshark logfiles.

 The result of this combination was #2032 error due to the timeouts in

 Hi Alex,
 
 I believe that there is a bug/feature with binding HTTPService result
 to a DataGrid. If HTTPService returns empty result (null), DataGrid
 won't be cleared from a previous values.
 
 To overcome this problem I had to use a dataProvider
 variable(ArrayCollection) which I clear every time before the request
 and then copy values from HTTPService.
 
 Before this topic I thought that this is feature, but after I saw your
 comments it is definitely a bug :)
 
 PS I have not found any other way of resetting the DataGrid. If you
 assign dataProvider to an empty ArrayCollection it won't help
 (presumably because DataGrid needs collectionChange event and nothing
 else)

[flexcoders] Re: HttpService post error 2032:iostream error

2008-04-07 Thread Carlos Reyes
Thank you for your reply. I've done a lot of research on this problem.
None of the usual causes/solutions to 2032 errors appear to apply.

This is an HTTP POST without using SSL. It's not a caching problem.
Caching is an issue with GET commands, I know that the request really
goes out, and the body changes with every post. I know that the content
type is fine.

Clearly, it's the 204 No Content return status that is messing things
up. Unless I can get Amazon to return something different, I'm stuck. In
the meantime, I see no choice but to silently throw away these errors.
Horrible, I know, but I have no choice.

I've used WireShark under Linux. Charles has a nicer interface and gives
the same information that I'm looking for.

   Hey guys,
  so I have created a simple flex proj

 mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute 
 themeColor=#0EFF02
   mx:Script
   ![CDATA[
   private function onOver(evt:Event):void{
   trace(onOver :  +evt.currentTarget );
   test.setStyle(backgroundColor,0xff00ff);
   }
   
   private function onOut(evt:Event):void{
   trace(onOut :  +evt.currentTarget );
   test.setStyle(backgroundColor,0x00);
   }
   ]]
   /mx:Script
   mx:Canvas id=test  x=118 y=136 width=443 height=133 
 themeColor=#099FFF backgroundColor=#D7 rollOver=onOver(event); 
 rollOut=onOut(event);
   mx:Button x=39 y=35 label=Button/
   /mx:Canvas
 /mx:Application


 So basically all the code above does is changes the backgroundColor of the 
 Canvas. It works fine
 Now if I make a MXML Component using the Code Behind Method











 *


 *mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute 
 themeColor=#0EFF02 xmlns:ns1=item.*
   ns1:ListItem x=80 y=48/   
 /mx:Application




 *ListItem.mxml*
 item:CListItem xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; width=400 
 height=300 xmlns:item=item.*
   mx:Button x=65 y=61 label=Button/   
 /item:CListItem



 *









 CListItem.as*

 package item
 {
   import flash.events.MouseEvent; 
   import mx.containers.Canvas;
   import mx.events.FlexEvent;

   public class CListItem extends Canvas
   {
   public function CListItem()
   {
   super();
   this.addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, 
 onComponentLoaded);  
   }
   
   private function onMouseOver(evt:MouseEvent):void{
   trace(CListItem.onMouseOver :);
   this.setStyle(backgroundColor,0xff00ff);  
 
   }
   
   private function onMouseOut(evt:MouseEvent):void{
   trace(CListItem.onMouseOut);
   this.setStyle(backgroundColor,0x00);  
 
   }
   
   private function onComponentLoaded(evt:FlexEvent):void{ 
 
   this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, 
 onMouseOver);  
   this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, 
 onMouseOut);
   }   
   }
 }



 Now when I mouse over the Button component the onMouseOut function gets 
 called and there is a flicker in the backgroundColor.
 If I dont use the Code Behind Method then the onMouseOut function does not 
 get called when I rollOver the button.

 Can anyone explain this strange behavior?
 Thanks

 Cheers
 Firdosh

Once the Jetty is found in JoNas and JBoss, it´s just a matter of Libraries
to start running.

Same configuration you have to install in JBoss will works fine in Jetty
too.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex SuperTabBar skin not updated when selecting tab programmatically

2008-04-07 Thread Igor Costa

If you´re trying using the Flex 3 SDK, this problem happens. Please Check
out the last sources from the project.
Maybe Doug already fix it.

That´s because of StyleProxy acomming to Flex 3 SDK.


Flex 2 works smooth.

 After loading the contents for the SuperTabNavigator I'd like to select
 the first tab -
 superTabNav.selectedChild or superTabNav.selectedIndex.

 This works well, but sometimes the skin of the associated Tab header
 (SuperTabBar child) is
 not set to its upSkin.

 Does anybody have an idea why this happens ?

[flexcoders] Re: how do you guys handle reporting?

2008-04-07 Thread Don Kerr

I continue to use CF Report Builder, cfdocument, etc. for reporting in
my Flex apps. I create a flex report using AdvancedDataGrid, etc. and
then use the same CFCs to generate cf reports. I simple add a button
bar at the top of the Flex report that opens the CF reports in a new
browser tab. Works well and customers like it.

[flexcoders] Re: AMF development with remote dev server

2008-04-07 Thread Mark Piller
Hi Richard,

Copy the config xml files from /weborb30/WEB-INF/flex to your local
box and compile the project with the local version of the files. The
only change you need to make is in services-config.xml. Locate the
my-anf channel and change the endpoint URI to be an absolute URL
pointing to your dev server.

Also, keep in mind you might need to put crossdomain.xml in place on
the remote server.

Cheers,
Mark

Thanks for the suggestion, Mark. Do you mean I should just create a
server-less FlexBuilder project, and place those files inside my src
directory? Someone else suggested that one can ignore the config files
completely, and build up the RemoteObject from scratch in
ActionScript.

 so the requirements for solution we are looking for, are as follows :
 1. flex GIS API for client side
 2. server that can be installed in private network and can handle all

 3. GIS data (digital cartographic maps and aerial/satellite imagery)
 for specific geographical area stored locally with certain detail level.
 
 any points to possible solution will be appreciated.

have a look at esri's arcGIS server--actually you'll have to wait for the next 
release for the flex API. if you can't wait have a look at esri's arcIMS 
product 
though you'll have to roll your own flex bits. if either is too steep take a 
look at mapServer + postGIS, again you'll have to roll your own flex bits.


[flexcoders] Re: AMF development with remote dev server

2008-04-07 Thread Mark Piller
Yes, either one of the approach is valid. I do prefer to have config
files in place as it results in fewer lines of code.

You do not have to put the config files into src, just somewhere on
the computer. When you reference services-config.xml in the -services
compiler argument, make sure to use absolute path to the file.

Cheers,
Mark

[flexcoders] Adding a UITextField to a UIComponent

2008-04-07 Thread esaltelli
I have a component that extends UIComponent.  I am adding several
display objects to it--a FlexShape, Image, and UITextField.  

I've overridden createChildren() to construct each of the component
objects.  However at run-time the addChild call for the UITextField is
throwing an RTE indicating that the UITextField's antiAliasType must
be non-null.  

Anyone run across this; and, if so, any known workarounds?  FYI -- The
text for the field is set at some time after adding the actual label
string.

TIA,

RE: [flexcoders] Adding a UITextField to a UIComponent

2008-04-07 Thread Alex Harui
Search the archives.  Someone else had this problem recently.  I don't
remember the resolution.

 

The global style selector has a default fontAntiAliasType.  Unless
you've overridden it, or somehow found a way to get validateNow to run
before the styles are hooked up, you shouldn't get this error.
