[flexcoders] Caputre DisplayObject as high res image for use with AlivePDF
AlivePDF ooks like a noble effort. I'm trying to get higher resolution chart shapshots into a PDF, and it appears that 1) PNGEncoder can't handle transparency 2) JPEGEncoder is very slow 3) These might be addressed in a forthcoming 0.1.5 release, but I'm not sure how imminent that is. There is an addImageStream method that takes a byte array. Can anyone point me at a good example of capturing a DisplayObject as a higher-resolution image?

[flexcoders] text from a form into an e-mail?
Hi
I'm trying to move text filled into a form in an app being built with
Flash Builder beta2 into the body of an e-mail. I'm trying to do this
via the default program on the user's computer because it seems
potentially simplest. If there's a better basic strategy or a big
problem my aforementioned strategy, please clue me in.
What I've tried that hasn't worked is calling this function on
clicking the Submit button:
private function sendEmail():void
{
var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest(mailto:recepi...@isp.com?body=+
nameFormItem);
navigateToURL(u, self);
}
I suspect there's at least a problem with the code after the email
address
Better for the FormItem text to be put into Model first? Need to use
an HTTP Service?
Thanks for your attention.

[flexcoders] Trapping Control-A in webapp
I want to pass Control-A to a Flex app running in a browser. Seems the
browser grabs Control-A and does not pass it to the Flex app. I tried
adding this to index.template.html:
script language=JavaScript type=text/javascript
!--
function disableCtrlModifer(evt) {
var disabled = {a:0, c:0, x:0, v:0};
var ctrlMod = (window.event)? window.event.ctrlKey : evt.ctrlKey;
var key = (window.event)? window.event.keyCode : evt.which;
key = String.fromCharCode(key).toLowerCase();
return (ctrlMod (key in disabled))? false : true;
}
// --
/script
/head
body scroll=no
onKeyPress=return disableCtrlModifer(event)
onKeyDown=return disableCtrlModifer(event)
... but no joy. Suggestions?
[flexcoders] ObjectUtil.copy() and Dictionaries
I have an AIR project setup in Flex Builder 3 that copies a subclass of flash.utils.Dictionary just fine with ObjectUtil.copy() when the target player is set to 9.0.28. However, when the target player is set to 10.0.0 I get the following error when attempting to make a copy: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.utils::diction...@2743cf71 to com.elasticsales.utils.ElasticDictionary. Does any one have any insight into why this is happening?

Hi,
Bump, in case someone who has an answer has missed the topic.

Hello,
I have an MXML TitleWindow component that contains the following:
popup:MajorImprovementClickableBoard id = board player = {player}
majorImprovements =
{AgricolaModelLocator.getInstance().game.majorImprovements}/
view:AlternativeCostComponent id = alternativeCostsComponent visible =
{board.multipleCosts}
includeInLayout = {board.multipleCosts} selectedImprovement =
{board.selectedImprovement}
player = {player} width=100%/
where at initialization time, board.multipleCosts = false, which means the
AlternativeCostComponent is not displayed.
When the TileWindow is first created, it is automatically scaled so that
the MajorImprovementClickableBoard fits exactly.
However, when the board.multipleCosts becomes true, the
AlternativeCostComponent becomes visible, but the TileWindow is not
refreshed; as a result, a scrollbar appears.
What I would like to do is to have the TileWindow be automatically
redrawned / rescaled / whatever, so that the content (MajorImprovement +
AlternativeCost) fits exactly.
I have tried to listen to the includeInLayoutChanged, but this did not
achieve anything
private function addEventListeners():void
{
alternativeCostsComponent.addEventListener(includeInLayoutChanged,
onLayoutChange);
}
private function onLayoutChange(event:Event):void
{
trace(On layout change); // This is printed to the
console
invalidateDisplayList(); // This does nothing, I still
have the scroll bar
}
I have tried to google it, but without much success.
Would you happen to have advises on how I could solve my problem?
Thanks a lot,

[flexcoders] Data Transfer between Viewstacks
I am building an app that includes datagrids where when double clicking a record causes the ViewStack to change to a new view to present the data in a form for editing/creating. What is the best way to transfer data between two different view states? Bindable public variables? Where you dump the record field data into public bindable vars then load it into text squares in the new viewstate??? Is there a standard way to do this? Value Objects? Thanks Dan
[flexcoders] Re: Make Flex AIR app demand more system resources
Ironic, huh? Actually, we are not finding the AIR app to be unreasonably resource hungry. Yes, I am using the papervision cube to navigate between forms, and the animation is not always smooth(sometimes it is). However, the os memory monitor indicates that the air app is not taking the resources it has available at that moment. I will try your suggestion of running something in an enterFrame handler. We just got an important demo wrapped up and I will have some time to work on this. Thanks, Tracy --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Gregor Kiddie gkid...@... wrote: Are you really suggesting that the AIR app isn't a massive resource hog and is unusable for any purpose? This should be a good thread to watch *fetches popcorn* Seriously though, and on topic... When you say it relinquishes resources back to readily, are you talking about CPU time, and therefore getting a jittery frame rate? Could be either the runtime or the OS scheduler I suppose. If the runtime doesn't place a high enough priority on running animations (i.e. AS is given a higher priority) it could release back to easily. Likewise the OS scheduler could be thinking the app is idle when it isn't. Stupid suggestion, but running some AS code alongside the animations... Running something small and inconsequential in an enterframe handler. Does it change the game somewhat? Gk.

[flexcoders] Re: Data Transfer between Viewstacks
Use a central data model. Some folks use a singleton for this. Use binding, or events, or ChangeWatcher to update your UI pieces as needed.

Thanks for your response. I re-wrote the code so at least I can send
body text without the form data.
private function sendEmail():void
{
navigateToURL(new
URLRequest('mailto:kear...@gmail.com?body=some%20body%20text%20goes%20in%20here'),'_self')
}
Now the problem is how to specify the contents of the FormItems in the
'mailto'.

RE: [SPAM] Re: [flexcoders] Re: text from a form into an e-mail?
Ok, next, put that string into a variable and use the var in the url string.
When that works, all you need to do is generate the string from the form,
and put it in the var.
