[flexcoders] Re: item renderer in ComboBox not consistent
Hi Jeff, what this does is set the background color of the renderer's VBox and
therefore the line shading to gray if the label text begins with an asterisk
we want to highlight these paricular rows in the list. I know what you are
saying about creationComplete() only running once, but I was thinking the
renderer would have to redo itself on a scroll because the viewable area had
changed.
--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Jeffry Houser j...@... wrote:

This won't work due to render recycling. Renderers are re-used. There
is not a single renderer for every item in your dataProvider.
CreationComplete complete only runs once.
You might try code like this on the dataChange event. Or using
updateComplete.
Or google it and discover the alternatingItemColors style:

Hi, Tim,
Thanks for the tip! I hadn't thought of that as a direct workaround
of sorts, but that does open the doors for another way to get it to
work, I think :)
It's not-so-much accessing the data that's the problem with this bug
(which I probably should have explained), but rather some of the
fields of the itemRenderer--specifically, the depth field. I guess I
could, instead of relying on that field, just traverse the tree
upwards from the selectedItem and calculate the depth manually in the
bug case.
Thanks again, Tim!

Hi, Group!
I'm having some trouble with the Tree component in the Flex

When browsing a Tree with an XML-based dataProvider, I seem to be
unable to retrieve the itemRenderer field of the ListEvent event
that
gets fired when the selected item changes (ListEvent.CHANGE). The
itemRenderer field is expected to not be null, but, I'm apparently
expecting the wrong thing.
Has anyone ever ran into this issue? I've searched the Adobe JIRA
system and Google (and this list!), and I've yet to find a helpful
result. There were some previous bugs in the bug repository, but
they
were transferred over from an old system. I've submitted the
request
for more information, so we'll see where that goes.
An example MXML file follows below. To see the bug, scroll down
through the XML list until the parent item is out of view. Then,
select one of the children currently in view and press the
left-key
to try to go to the parent item. Notice that the itemRenderer is
null, and this is where my problem arises.
Thank you in advance for any help you're able to provide!

Re: [flexcoders] The Blueprint Eclipse plug-in is live on Adobe Labs
I'm surprised at the lack of reaction for this on this list. I'm impressed - looks to be quite useful; just need to add it into my workflow. The examples are good when dealing with completely unfamiliar classes, but I often forget what a certain property/method in a certain class does/returns, and the code hinting/completion in FB3 isn't very helpful most of the time. It would be neat if there could be a quick shortcut button to switch between examples and a condensed version of the flex class reference (allow me to select if multiple classes are relevant), similar to how Netbeans and to a lesser extent Eclipse Java works. That would save me a lot of time going back and forth between FB3 and my browser as I do now. 2009/6/23 jrunrandy ranie...@adobe.com: If you get a minute, please check out Blueprint, which we released on Adobe Labs a couple of weeks ago. Blueprint is an innovative code-centric search application, initially delivered as an Eclipse plug-in. It is a custom search tool that searches only for code (for now, it searches just for MXML and ActionScript). So, for example, if you search for DataGrid, it returns a set of code examples that use the Flex DataGrid control. But what's really cool is that you can easily highlight, copy, and paste chunks of code right into your application, all without leaving Flex/Flash Builder.

I'm glad you found an easy way to get the functionality you wanted.
According to the docs, mouseEnabled defaults to true. I wonder why the ADGGIR

I just wanted to say that if you still wanted the functionality from

The key was setting mouseEnabled=true. It is set to false in the

If the web service box is not available to the outside public, then the Flash player running on the clients machine won't be able to load the WSDL.

Re: [flexcoders] Audio recording using AIR
Digimix was acquired, and though I'm not 100% sure, I think it was Aviary that made the acquisition. It did what you're lookin to do, but without the FMS and Red 5 component. I'm not sure that there are FOSS, or even licensable options for AS3 audio encoding, but here are a few other thoughts. You may want to take a look at Alchemy for this, now that it's available, as you may be able to get a C library for audio encoding to run in AIR. Ogg Vorbis is one of the sample libraries on Labs. Also, if you're going to have the server capabilities there anyway, you could send to the server to encode, and deliver the file back to the client. Or use Merapi to have Java do the encoding. Not sure if any of these fit your use case, but I hope they help. - Zach On Jul 1, 2009, at 7:48 AM, Jeffry Houser j...@farcryfly.com wrote: I'm not sure of complete specifics, but I thought Ribbit supported something like this Wasn't sure if they support computer mics or you have to use a phone.

Re: [flexcoders] Audio recording using AIR
Thanks to Zach and Jeffry! Looks like Aviary plans to release an open API for audio editing - hopefully a Flex component is not too far away... http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/06/10/aviary-launches-firefox-plugin-for-image-editing-audio-editor-c?icid=sphere_blogsmith_inpage_downloadsquad --- On Wed, 7/1/09, Zach Stepek z...@cravemg.com wrote: From: Zach Stepek z...@cravemg.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Audio recording using AIR To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, July 1, 2009, 9:22 AM Digimix was acquired, and though I'm not 100% sure, I think it was Aviary that made the acquisition. It did what you're lookin to do, but without the FMS and Red 5 component. I'm not sure that there are FOSS, or even licensable options for AS3 audio encoding, but here are a few other thoughts. You may want to take a look at Alchemy for this, now that it's available, as you may be able to get a C library for audio encoding to run in AIR. Ogg Vorbis is one of the sample libraries on Labs. Also, if you're going to have the server capabilities there anyway, you could send to the server to encode, and deliver the file back to the client. Or use Merapi to have Java do the encoding. Not sure if any of these fit your use case, but I hope they help. - Zach On Jul 1, 2009, at 7:48 AM, Jeffry Houser j...@farcryfly. com wrote: I'm not sure of complete specifics, but I thought Ribbit supported something like this Wasn't sure if they support computer mics or you have to use a phone.

[flexcoders] Item Renderer doesn't work with just one Item :-(
I have a custom item render on a bar chart. When my the data provider for my bar chart has just one item in it the set data function is never gets called. Updatedisplaylist doesn't trigger and my bar chart is blank. Any ideas? I've had this bug for a while but I need to figure it out now. Thanks! -Nate
[flexcoders] Re: Time Difference between two columns in DataGrid using itemrenderer
Thanks everyone. Never really could find an easy was to do it in Flex, so I opted for the ease of ColdFusion to get it done quickly on the server side. Two easy CF functions, ParseDateTime and DateDiff. Good news is Flash Builder adds some of the ease of ColdFusion, including CF tags, into Flex! Awesome stuff.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Web Service Question (Help!)
Hi Valdhor, I think you are quite right. Seems that the ArrayCollection which I am passing is becoming NULL or does not contain any value. Although I ensure from my web service that there are no fields in my dataset which I am passing back as an XML string to my flex application. I tried to utilize Alert.show(event.fault.getStackTrace().toString); to show the error, but nothing comes up. I wonder how I can make a trace on my arrayCollection? As of now, am using only the compiler and plugging the SWF object inside my asp.net page. Thanks a lot.

[flexcoders] ArrayCollection Does Not Show Items In Order When Passed to .NET WebService
Hi FlexCoders,
I have an array collection which I am populating as follows:
var oTemp:Object;
var xl:XMLList = _xmlData.children();
var i:int;
for(i = 0; i xl.length(); i++)
{
oTemp = {ID_TAG:xl[i].ID.text(), CAT_TAG:xl[i].CAT.text(),
DET_TAG:xl[i].DET.text(), REP_DATE_TAG:xl[i].REP_DATE.text(),
IND_TAG:xl[i].IND.text()};
arrDP.addItem(oTemp);
}
Now, when I pass back this Array Collection back into a web service, the fields
are not in order as I have added them into the array collection.
I am expecting that in my Web Service, when I parse this arraycollection (via
arraylist), I would be getting the same order of columns as I have added them,
i.e. the first array in the array list would have element 0 to be the value I
placed in the ID.
Since the arraylist does not have the field tag (represented by ID_TAG,
DET_TAG, CAT_TAG, etc..), it becomes a trial and error (hit and miss) on my
part since I can only reference the value via the index on the array.
Now, how would I be able to include the tags inside array collection such that
when I read them as an array list in my .NET webservice, I know which element I
am referring to in a particular index.
Thanks.
Regards,
Angelo
[flexcoders] Bitmap downsampling
Hi,
I'm having a lot of trouble with down-sampling a bitmapData.
I tried the smoothing option first
public function produceResizedBitmapData(image:DisplayObject,
transform:Matrix):BitmapData
{
var temp:BitmapData = new BitmapData(image.width, image.height, true,
0x00FF);
temp.draw(image);
var clone:BitmapData = new BitmapData(image.width*transform.a,
image.height*transform.d, true, 0x00FF);
clone.draw(temp, transform, null, null, null, true);
temp.dispose();
return clone;
}
except the quality was poor, once the image was of a certain size.
For example scaling a 2500px image down to 200px.
I've tried using clevrLib plus a pixelBender bilinear sampler but no go.
I've noticed it works in picnik so it must be possible.
Can anyone push me in the right direction.
RE: [flexcoders] Bitmap downsampling
Bjorn,
Does the current method you're using appear to have any anti-aliasing at all?
In the past, resizing with Image using img.resize((height, width),
Image.ANTIALIAS) (where img is mx.controls.Image) has worked - I'm sure there'd
be a similar method for BitmapData. Of course, if you're not specifying
antialiasing and the method call doesn't assume it by default, then yeah,
you're going to get horrible image quality on downsize as a typical algorithm
will pick nearest-neighbor to the new target pixel.
