Subject: [flexcoders] udefined property error without function
context: an mxml app, with classes written by me ( Zdemos) and Flare

and it works.
I don't understand---
this compiles:
public var myDemoClass:Zdemos ;
public var myDataFilePath:String = http://.realdata2.xml; ;
private function init(): void {
myDemoClass = new Zdemos(myCanvas,myDataFilePath);
myCanvas.addChild(myDemoClass.getUIComponent());

this doesn't:
public var myDemoClass:Zdemos ;
public var myDataFilePath:String = http://.realdata2.xml; ;
myDemoClass = new Zdemos(myCanvas,myDataFilePath);
myCanvas.addChild(myDemoClass.getUIComponent());
Errors: access to undefined property myCanvas/myDemoClass/myDataFilepath
You'll notice that in the error there's a mention of myDataFilepath not
myDataFilePath in the error, so somewhere you've got the wrong variable
name..

I don't know exactly why the resultHandler function is not called.

Hello all,
I have been unable to figure out why something simple is not
happening in a form of mine. I have a form that does successfully
take the user input and email it to us. However, for some reason, the

just hangs there when the user clicks on the submit button.
I will need to share the code to get help with this. It is
very basic and it does send the email message. I'll trim off
extraneous appearance code that is not related to the actual logic of
the form.
So, we have the main application that has a Panel that calls the
ContactFormComp (for ContactFormComponent)(leaving off the Application

still rather simple, but I don't know why it doesn't call the Alert

If anyone knows php how would I send a message from the php form

[flexcoders] Http Service Issue -Urgent
Hi, Iam new Flex user. I have come across a peculiar problem.. I wanted a flex UI for an already existing java project. So I went about creating the UI in Adobe flex builder and i have servlet deployed on a server to which the front end has http service calls. When i run the mxml file from IDE itself it works just fine i.e http calls work and data from servlet retreieved properly..but when i go to the project forlder and just run the html file created there the http service call fails. Can anybody tell me the solution or may be what Iam doing was wrong. Also help regarding what all files need to be uploaded to my java project is welcome. Thanks in advance...
Re: [flexcoders] invalidateList or itemUpdated?
Ok. I finally solved it by defining a bindable global variable in the

borderColor={app.strongNodes.contains(data) ? COLOR_STRONG_NODE :
COLOR_DEFAULT_NODE}

made a local variable in the item bound to the array. However, when I

Here's the scenario: I have a Button class that extends UIComponent. If I specify a Button declaration in an external CSS file, and specify the overSkin, upSkin and downSkin for it, the Button will accept that and apply the style. No problem. However, if I create another ui element, PlayPauseButton that extends Button, and attach that to my app, this subclassed component PlayPauseButton does not pick up the style. Also, adding an explicit declaration in the stylesheet for PlayPauseButton does not work. Note that these components do not have any MXML associated with them. They are attached to the base application with actionscript. These classes also have some drawing api stuff in them (but do not extend programmaticskin), and I'd like to make them be able to take graphics as the assets. Any thoughts? I've searched high and low on the web for something useful on this, but all I can find are tutorials that show how to do with with the built-in UI components. Not helpful. Is your PlayPauseButton inside a List-based component?

[flexcoders] How to mask scrolling errorTips
Hi, I have a screen where I use the ToolTip manager to create error tips that stay on the screen. However, when the screen is scrolled, the error tips scroll on out of the viewing area, while the text input they are next to is masked by something. My question is how can I apply a mask (if that is the right thing), so that the tool tips will be hidden in a smooth way, like the text inputs. I've tried assigning a displayObject to the mask property of the tooltip, but it isn't masking properly. It hides everything on the screen but the tooltip. So, for example, if I have a VBox that contains 10 TextInput fields, if the first one has a manual error tip next to it, when I scroll the text input field goes away, but the error tip just slide up over other things. Thanks, John

[flexcoders] Graceful handling of server timeout
I have a flex client that makes service calls to a tomcat server running BlazeDS. I would like to gracefully handle server session timeouts in this environment. I do have security constraints on the service, so the client authenticates against a remote object by initializing a ChannelSet based on the destination, and then logging in using that ChannelSet. After the user is authenticated, if they go get a (long) cup of coffee, their session will inevitably time out. I would like the client to detect the timeout, and return the user back to the login page, with the appropriate informational messages. But I am having difficulty finding the best way to detect this timeout from the client. Is it possible, or must I have the server throw an error when the timeout occurs? Thanks!

[flexcoders] TreeItemRenderer setting an icon to an embedded image
What is the proper way to set the icon from a TreeItemRenderer when

hundreds of instances of it in memory. TreeItemRenderer.icon is an
instance of IFlexDisplayObject which is implemented by BitmapDataAsset

public var testIcon:Class;
public function MyTrereItemRenderer() {
super();
}
// Override the updateDisplayList() method
// to set the text for each tree node.
override protected function
updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void {
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
this.icon = new studentIcon();
}
}

[flexcoders] Re: Accessing properties of Embedded Flash SWFs from Flex 3
From my readings around the web, the Flex compiler strips all timeline information from the SWF when embedding. I now have found a suggested workaround over at Grant Skinner's Blog, however, it's dependent upon all the code written on the timeline being put into a Class (this is how I interpreted the workaround).

Hi,
Did this solution work? I have done something similar for changing the
border colors of the nodes of a graph but it does not work. I had an array
as a globally scoped variable, and in the item renderer, if the item is in
the array, then the border should be of one color, otherwise another. I made
a local variable in the item bound to the array. However, when I change the
array using the methods, it does not seem to trigger a refresh in the item
renderers.
I also tried to register for the PropertyChange event but it does not seem
that it is ever raised.

[flexcoders] Calling executeBindings makes ADG appears as if there are no selected items
I assigned a bindable hierarchical data to ADG's data provider. Somewhere else in the application, I modified the contents of ADG by updating part of the data in the hierarchical data. For example, a few children nodes are moved under another parent node. The contents of ADG did not get updated correctly. The nodes that were supposed to be moved also appear under the original parent node. This problem was fixed by calling executeBindings method that came with ADG class. However, this introduced a minor problem. The selected item in ADG now appears to be unselected. I know that the item is actually selected, but the selection is not visible, because I can still programmatically make the selected item expand its children. Has anyone experience this, and know a workaround? Thank you in advance.

Re: [flexcoders] RemoteObject with synchronous call
you can not do synchronous rpc calls... search the list for AsyncToken and fault / result events quickly: 1) make a remote call and asign an asynctoken to it 2) on the response handler, the token var contains the associated asynctoken, so using this you know which call resulted to this result...

[flexcoders] Re: Problem with Flex form
It works for me although it does display the alert twice - once for
the eventListener you add in sendMyData and once for the result
handler in the HTTPService tag.
In your result handler you should be checking the response you get
back from the server and display an alert accordingly.
One thing that will probably help you out a lot is to get an HTTP
debugging proxy like Charles (http://www.charlesproxy.com/). I use it
every day.

just hangs there when the user clicks on the submit button.
I will need to share the code to get help with this. It is
very basic and it does send the email message. I'll trim off
extraneous appearance code that is not related to the actual logic of

[flexcoders] E4X normalize() + CDATA = invalid XML, data loss
I'm getting some very strange results from E4X and normalize() when
working with CDATA text nodes, especially when those text nodes may
contain strings that, unescaped, represent CDATA end tags.
Consider the following code:
var x:XML = test /;
x.appendChild('![CDATA[ test1 ');
x.appendChild('![CDATA[ test2 ]]');
trace ('--- before normalize (string value) ---');
trace (x.toString());
trace ('--- before normalize (full xml) ---');
trace (x.toXMLString());
trace (\n);
x.normalize();
trace ('--- after normalize (string value) ---');
trace (x.toString());
trace ('--- after normalize (full xml) ---');
trace (x.toXMLString());
trace (\n);
var xAsString:String = x.toXMLString();
x = XML(xAsString);
trace ('--- after reparse (string value) ---');
trace (x.toString());
trace ('--- after reparse (full xml) ---');
trace (x.toXMLString());
trace (\n);
Here's the output when using Flash Player 10.0.12.36 Debug on Linux:
--- before normalize (string value) ---
test1 ]] test2
--- before normalize (full xml) ---
test
![CDATA[ test1
![CDATA[ test2 ]]
/test
--- after normalize (string value) ---
test1 ]] test2
--- after normalize (full xml) ---
test![CDATA[ test1 ]] test2 ]]/test
--- after reparse (string value) ---
test1 test2 ]]
--- after reparse (full xml) ---
test
![CDATA[ test1 ]]
test2 ]]gt;
/test
Note how the call to .normalize() causes the text of test to be
concatenated to one incorrectly formatted CDATA node, containing an
unescaped ]] end-of-CDATA marker. The resulting XML is invalid and
will not parse with other XML parsers, such as libxml2's xmllint:
badxml.xml:1: parser error : Sequence ']]' not allowed in content
test![CDATA[ test1 ]] test2 ]]/test
Using Flash's E4X to re-parse this XML does not throw an error, but the
resulting XML does not represent the original XML in any way. It appears
that the XML parser switches out of CDATA-mode when reaching the first
end-of-CDATA-marker (between 'test1' and 'test2'), and then enters some
sort of lenient parser mode where it helpfully converts the bare ''
after test2 into gt;. Of course, the resulting string value for
test's text node is very much different from its original contents.
(compare 'after normalize (string value)' to 'after reparse (string
value)')
On the other hand, not calling .normalize() causes the resulting XML to
contain a newline \n character between the two original CDATA text
nodes, which when parsed by other xml readers usually results in
]]\n, or worse ]]\n .
Anyone have any experience with how to properly embed strings containing
xml-ish content with E4X?

[flexcoders] Graphical skins and subclasses of UIComponent
I'll try to keep this as simple of an example as possible. Here's the scenario: I have a Button class that extends UIComponent. If I specify a Button declaration in an external CSS file, and specify the overSkin, upSkin and downSkin for it, the Button will accept that and apply the style. No problem. However, if I create another ui element, PlayPauseButton that extends Button, and attach that to my app, this subclassed component PlayPauseButton does not pick up the style. Also, adding an explicit declaration in the stylesheet for PlayPauseButton does not work. Note that these components do not have any MXML associated with them. They are attached to the base application with actionscript. These classes also have some drawing api stuff in them (but do not extend programmaticskin), and I'd like to make them be able to take graphics as the assets. Any thoughts? I've searched high and low on the web for something useful on this, but all I can find are tutorials that show how to do with with the built-in UI components. Not helpful. Thanks, Josh

RE: [flexcoders] TreeItemRenderer setting an icon to an embedded image
If you replace the icon in a subclass, you'll have to remove the old one from
the display list and add your new one (removeChild/addChild).
Tree has APIs for getting the renderer to choose different icons depending on
the data. See Tree styles like defaultLeafIcon, and APIs like iconField You
may not need a custom renderer if all you want to change is the icon

Subject: [flexcoders] TreeItemRenderer setting an icon to an embedded image
What is the proper way to set the icon from a TreeItemRenderer when
using an embeded graphic file? I don't want to accidentally create
hundreds of instances of it in memory. TreeItemRenderer.icon is an
instance of IFlexDisplayObject which is implemented by BitmapDataAsset
(the embedded graphic class). When I do the following:
public class MyTreeItemRenderer extends TreeItemRenderer
{
[Embed(source=../../assets/test.jpg)]
public var testIcon:Class;
public function MyTrereItemRenderer() {
super();
}
// Override the updateDisplayList() method
// to set the text for each tree node.
override protected function
updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void {
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
this.icon = new studentIcon();
}
}
I get this RTE:
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child
of the caller.

I can't seem to find a good example of a TreeItemRenderer on the web

[flexcoders] Re: Problem with Flex form
Did you try the form itself? I guess I didn't show the link. It is
here: http://futurewavedesigns.com/ContactUs/ContactForm.html
When I enter information into the form, I get no response after I hit
Submit. Can you try that page and see what happens for you? Unless
you tried it already but I didn't list the page.
I think it is fixed. It seems to work fine now. I just need to add
some validation. I have this in my php form mailer:
$OK = mail ($mail_to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($OK)
{
echo 'sent=OK';
}
else
{
echo 'sent=ERROR';
}
I don't know how to make it not send the message and set an error. If
that does happen, my Flex code checks for event.result=ERROR which I
don't think is going to work with the php code I just listed. I hope
someone here reading this knows some about php so that I can figure
out what to do to change the code so that it gives the user a message
if the email was not sent. I tried something that wasn't working
which is this:
else
{
die(failed);
}
That failed to cause any response at all from the form.

In your result handler you should be checking the response you get

One thing that will probably help you out a lot is to get an HTTP

[flexcoders] AIR 1.5 and Flash Player 10
I'm trying to figure out how to compile an AIR app with the Flex 3.2 SDK
(stable
build 3.2.0.3794), deployed with Flash Player 10 capability.
Using the example below, you'd think it would work.
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute creationComplete=initApp()
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import flash.system.Capabilities;
import flash.display.ColorCorrectionSupport;
private function initApp():void {
version.text = Flash Player version: +
Capabilities.version;
stat.text = Color Correction Support =
+this.stage.colorCorrectionSupport;
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Label id=version width=250 /
mx:Label id=stat width=250 /
/mx:WindowedApplication
The compiler recognizes the FP10 classes, as does the code assist, but when I
run it I get a null exception error on stage.colorCorrectionSupport -- which
tells me that the FP10 classes are not actually being compiled into the SWF.
When I add -target-player=10 to the compiler settings, I get an error
configuration variable 'target-player' must only be set once, which tells me
that this is already being set somewhere.
So why won't my AIR app compile for Flash 10 classes? I crack open the
aiglobal.swc file, examine the catalog.xml file, and it indicates
swc xmlns=http://www.adobe.com/flash/swccatalog/9;
...
flex version=4.0.0 build=0 /
So I backed up the old airglobal.swc file, and created a new one with the 9
in
the swc tag changed to a 10. But that didn't seem to change anything.
Thing is, the catalog.xml file indicates that the Flash 10 classes are indeed
in
the airglobal.swc file.
So does this mean that AIR 1.5 is being compiled to Flash 9? Do I need to
change
the Flex BUilder config settings to change this?
And why on earth is AIR 1.5 included in the latest stable build (3.2.0.3794) of
the Flex 3 SDK, and touted as being Flash 10-enabled, when it seems like you
need Flex 4 to take advantage of these capabilities? Maybe I'm just reading
this
wrong, because that just makes no sense whatsoever. If it's true, when are we
going to be able to compile to Flash 10 in AIR? When Flex 4 finally comes out?
Has anyone figured out how to create an AIR app with the Flex 3.2 SDK, for FP10?
Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] External Interface is not working in IE

If you get any of the parameters typed incorrectly it can seriously mess the whole thing up and turn things off like script access or fullscreen. If you're using SWFObject, remove that from the equation to see if your actual SWF is working for you correctly - if it's not.then I got nothing.

That's what a VBox does by default when you don't specify its height... it makes itself high enough to show all of its children.

There are many unresolved bug reports at bugs.adobe.com related to flash 10 crashing browser, so I didn't add yet another one. I've had to instruct my users to back up to Flash Player 9 until a workaround or fix is available from Adobe. In the meantime, If anyone has any suggestions on how to troubleshoot browser crashes...I'm all ears. Thanks, Don Kerr

Make sure you have the url for your own crash in the bugs that are field though. On 11/11/08 9:40 PM, Don Kerr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can't find my previous post for some reason. Matt Chotin, the radius deprecated turned out to not be the reason for the crash. I spoke too soon with wishful thinking. I was trying to comment out code to see if any Flex code could be causing it.

[flexcoders] How to share VO with multiple components/views - Nested Binding?
I have some data (e.g. currently selected employee summary data) that appears (Read Only) on several views/components. I am retrieving the selected data and saving in a VO object, but I'd like to share this VO data with several forms/views - I thought I could do this via binding, but some of the views are nested within other components so I'm not sure how to set this kind of (indirect/nested) binding syntax or if this is possible. There must be a better way - anyone suggest an alternative appproach or provide an example of sharing a VO with multiple forms/views? TIA, Patrick
Re: [flexcoders] How to share VO with multiple components/views - Nested Binding?
I usually use a combination of dependency injection and binding, with things being injected into an outer component and passing through only what nested components need with bindings. I know it's not the fastest way, but I guess I'm lucky that I'm not doing anything where this sort of latency becomes visible to users. -Josh On Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 4:49 PM, pbrendanc [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have some data (e.g. currently selected employee summary data) that appears (Read Only) on several views/components.
