Flex memory issues.
Title: Flex memory issues. I have avery large flex app I am running into some random crashes and heavy memory consumption. Memory consumption on Standard Flash Player (not Flash Debug Player) has been reaching 150 to 170 megs. I need to know what I can do to manage this. I have seen some methods available to the UIObject, mainly destroyObject, and I got this to remove objects that were no longer needed, but I cannot find a good way to re-instantiate them when they are needed again. This could be a really bad approach, but I am afraid I may be pushing some limits on Flex that is forcing me down this route. I am open to any suggestions. If any more information is needed, I would be happy to provide. Thanksin advance! Dustin Mercer
Dynamic URL for HTTPService
I have a drop down, populated and want to use the change event to
populate the httpservice url parameter which will also fire off
another httpservice.
I have this:
mx:Script
![CDATA[
var nameOf = ;
function custChange(event)
{
nameOf = cusBox.data;
srv.send();
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:HTTPService id=srv url=installation.jsp?id='{nameOf}'/
mx:HTTPService id=cust url=cus.jsp/
mx:HBox
mx:VBox
mx:ComboBox id=cusBox
dataProvider={cust.result.list.customer} change=custChange
(event)/mx:ComboBox
/mx:VBox
mx:Panel title='{nameOf}' Installation List width=515
height=350
mx:DataGrid id=dg dataProvider={srv.result.list.installation}
width=500 height=255
mx:columns
mx:Array
mx:DataGridColumn columnName=postcode
headerText=Post Code width=100/
mx:DataGridColumn columnName=manufacturer

mx:DataGridColumn columnName=model
headerText=Model width=100/
mx:DataGridColumn columnName=location
headerText=Location width=200/
/mx:Array
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
How can I use the data element of the combobox to properly populate
the httpservice parameter and fire off the request and also use it
to populate the Title of the Panel??
Thanks in Advance.
PS: Stupid Question, but if my data returned in the httpService has
some silly characters in the nodes such as '' it also fails. Why?
cursor priority problems
Hi all, I have noticed that when I load a flex app into another using the Loader control, when the cursor needs to be changed it appears blank, almost as though it is appearing behind the loader and on the root application. For example the loaded app has a HDividedBox and when i place the mouse over the resize bar it disappears! I also have this same behaviour in my custom component, even when setting the cursor to the highest priority. Is there a workaround for this? Andrew.
RE: [flexcoders] Populating a Combobox from an HTTPService
You may not be at the right level of your result object.
To debug, create a handler function and call it from the result event of
the HTTPService:
mx:HTTPService result=onResult(event)
Private function onResult(oEvent:Object):Void{
trace(oEvent.result.list.customer.length) //or alert
}
You should see the number of items returned. If you do not, you don't
have the data structure you think. The datagrid needs an array, where
the elements are the rows, and contain an object with properties(in your
case) label and data.
Try: oEvent.result.list.length
Enable debuggin of the http service proxy in the flex-config file,
observe what is being returned.
Or use the netConnectionDebugger or FlexBuilder network monitor to see
what your data structure is.

Hi,
I have an HTTP service with a returned dataprovider. I want to
populate a combobox with this dataprovider. The tags within the
returned xml in the dataprovider are label and data.
I tried this:
mx:HTTPService id=cust url=cus.jsp/
mx:VBox
mx:ComboBox id=cusBox
dataProvider={cust.result.list.customer}/mx:ComboBox
/mx:VBox
The box drops down, but it has no data!
Thanks in advance.

RE: [flexcoders] Dynamic URL for HTTPService
I don't think you can bind in the query string like that. Instead you
will want to manipulate the request object:
var oRequest:Object = new Object({id:nameOf});
srv.send(oRequest);
There is a full example on www.cflex.net at the end of the beginner tips
section.

amfgateway
Hi I am tuning my applications at this moment. When I check the temp files directory of the internet explorer, I found a file named amfgateway of size 300K. The amount appears to download eveytime the IE access the site. I am trying to understand what this file is for and best if possible, trim this file in size. See if anyone of you can help.

Binding attributes in Flex
Is there a way to bind a value of the attributes
Those one are not working:
mx:NumberValidator field=valeur.nombre
listener=chiffre maxValue={allo.enveloppe.valeur}/
mx:Label text=First Name color={envelope.text}/
This one is working:
mx:Label text=Maximum: {envelope.value}/
Our idea is to bind all data (labels,TextInputs, etc) to a XML file
containing all the information (validation, style, etc) about those
data.
or would it preferable to use ColdFusion to generate MXML files on
the fly for such task?
Thanks
RE: [flexcoders] Flex memory issues.
Title: Flex memory issues. Upon more investigation, my memory usage seems to be stemming from my higher resolution. When I run the app in 1024*768 the memory consumption does not seem to exceed 110mb (high, but manageable for the size of this app). When run in 1280*1024, them memory usage is increased by 50mb or so. It looks like this is an issue with the graphics the controls are rendering. Makes sense. Maybe I can get some help with some good ideas on how to better manage this. Does anyone know how to enable the Flash quality setting in Flex. I want to try to turn the quality down to see what kind of memory results I get with that. I remember seeing an article like this, just cant seem to find it. Thanks!

Small arrow on DividedBoxes for hidding container
Is there any way we can add a small arrow icon over the scrolling icon given by the DividedBoxes? Similar to the ones we have on Dreamweaver to hide a window. That would be great if that function could be added to Flex out of the box! Thanks

Re: [flexcoders] Dynamic URL for HTTPService
Tracy is right, but there is an easier way.
Change your HTTPService tag to look like this:
mx:HTTPService id=srv url=installation.jsp
mx:request
ID{nameOf}/ID
/mx:request
/mx:HTTPService
You can still reference the srv ID from AS and call it elsewhere in your
app. But now - when you call srv it will append ID to the querystring and
add nameOf as the value to that variable.
Give that a go.

What exactly is the format of the data in result? If result works with a

So you should be able to do:
...result[0].myColumnName //item.property

Subject: [flexcoders] Webservice array question
I have a problem that I am sure just about everyone on this list could
answer - but for the life of me I cannot figure it out.
I have a webservice that is returning a Query object from a CFC. I can
reference the result in a datagrid but I want to have a bit more control
over it. I would like to create 3 seperate Labels and force the output
on
those Labels to the individual rows (and the data) from the result.
Here is what I have so far:
mx:WebService id=samples wsdl=http://localhost/samples.cfc?WSDL;
showBusyCursor=true
mx:operation name=getTop3Samples /
/mx:WebService
mx:Button click=samples.getTop3Samples.send(); label=go /
mx:TextInput text={samples.getTop3Samples.result.ID[0]} /
mx:TextInput text={samples.getTop3Samples.result.ID[1]} /
From CFC:
cffunction name=getTop3Samples access=remote returntype=query
cfquery name=leftNavSamples datasource=dsn maxRows=3
SELECT ID
FROM TABLE
/cfquery
cfreturn leftNavSamples
/cffunction
Thanks in advance,

Re: [flexcoders] Populating a Combobox from an HTTPService
If you are seeing the combobox look like it contains the data (meaning that
you have a solid drop down) but there is nothing there, you probably
overlooked labelField=. Add that as a property and put the name of the
element that you want to see there.

Hi,
I have an HTTP service with a returned dataprovider. I want to
populate a combobox with this dataprovider. The tags within the
returned xml in the dataprovider are label and data.
I tried this:
mx:HTTPService id=cust url=cus.jsp/
mx:VBox
mx:ComboBox id=cusBox
dataProvider={cust.result.list.customer}/mx:ComboBox
/mx:VBox
The box drops down, but it has no data!

RE: [flexcoders] MODEL BINDING / DATAGRID
The binding is done but youre
changing an element within the DataProvider without notifying the DataGrid that
anything changed. You can call invalidate() on the DG in the result handler of
webservice.MethodName and see if everything draws immediately. Otherwise you
could re-assign the whole dataProvider which also triggers this sort of thing.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex memory issues.
Title: Flex memory issues. Unfortunately I havent had the opportunity to do any profiling yet. I tried it a couple of weeks ago, couldnt get it to work and I had to get back to developing the application. I will set aside some time to do this though. To the other suggestion, I havent experimented with the loader component to break up the app. Good Idea and I will explore this option though. One concern I have about this is: If I break these components down, can I still communicate easily between them and can I stop people from accessing those new apps directly? I have some needs to do this. Plus, I would like some of them to keep state. My first option seems to be some profiling though. I will try to get this working as soon as possible.

RE: [flexcoders] Removing the Event listener...
Yes, the cell renderers will be zombied,
sort of. Its not actually truly zombied because we recycle thecell
renderers. When a row isnt needed due to resizing or whatever it goes
on a free list, when its needed well bring it back. What I dont
remember off-hand is if we do decide to clear the free list if we go through
and actually remove the MovieClip. I think it becomes moot if we do that since
the Player will destroy the object. Though there will be dangling references
to undefined I think, but at least you wont have lots of code executing
that you dont want.

Re: [flexcoders] What are the advantages to connecting an mxml page to an as page
Remember, each MXML file is effectively a class. Following OO best practices, each class should do 1 thing, and do it well. There are effectively 3 ways to add ActionScript to a flex app. 1) mx:Script block inline of mxml page. 2) mx:Script source= pointing to .as file, 3) AS Class instantiated in mxml Both one and two compile the script as part of the class created by the mxml file. This is the proper approach for code which belongs as part of the same class as the MXML for that page. Their are times when a separate class is called for. Among the many reasons for this: Encapsulation, Reusabilty, etc. AS classes and MXML files are two approaches for creating custom components. The end result from either is a compiled class. An experience AS2 developer will probably find they have a lot more control over an AS2 class vs. the same class created with MXML.

Tracy -Original Message- From: Jeff Tapper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 25, 2005 10:03 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] What are the advantages to connecting an mxml page to an as page Remember, each MXML file is effectively a class. Following OO best practices, each class should do 1 thing, and do it well. There are effectively 3 ways to add ActionScript to a flex app. 1) mx:Script block inline of mxml page. 2) mx:Script source= pointing to .as file, 3) AS Class instantiated in mxml Both one and two compile the script as part of the class created by the mxml file. This is the proper approach for code which belongs as part of the same class as the MXML for that page. Their are times when a separate class is called for. Among the many reasons for this: Encapsulation, Reusabilty, etc. AS classes and MXML files are two approaches for creating custom components. The end result from either is a compiled class. An experience AS2 developer will probably find they have a lot more control over an AS2 class vs. the same class created with MXML.

The docs discuss the window parameter to getURL:

TabNavigator tab color styles?
Just was working on applying a stylesheet
throughout my application and Ive successfully changed the header colors
of my datagrids and panels but I cant seem to figure out how to change
the gradient fill color of my tabs in my tab navigator
I have a stylesheet with the following:
TabNavigator {
fillColors: #D8E6EF, #FF;
}
Is that not the right syntax to apply a
gradient of a light blue to white for each tab? I dont see a similar
headerColors style attribute like I do for Panel and DataGrid componentsIm
also adding these tabs on the fly based on a users grant access when
they log instyles are still applied to components added on the fly,
right?

Subject: [flexcoders] Pre-selecting a Combo Box from Bound Data
Situation:
I have a component, and that component has an Actionscript object in
it that will hold the data passed into it.
I also have a form. I want to populate the form with information that
has come in on that object. Tutorials abount on how to do this, but
one thing I can't seem to get to work is selecting the correct item in
a combo box based on the object passed in.
Now, I know i could write action script to determine which index
should be selected, but it doesnt seem to come as cheaply as a simple
data binding on a form element in other cases.
e.g.:
---
var slot:Object;
mx:TextInput text={slot.name} id=name/
---
Will pre-populate the form element with the value of the name
property on the slot Object.
So how does this work as simply for a combo box?
e.g.:
---
var slot:Object;
var statusTypes = [{label:Unknown, data:Unknown}, {label:Live,
data:Live}, {label:Shutdown, data:Shutdown}];
.
mx:ComboBox id=slotStatus dataProvider={statusTypes}/mx:ComboBox
---
THe above snippit will show the list of options, but I dont see how to
get the list to be selected to the correct item, based on the
slotStatus value of my object slot

Flex Builder?
Greetings, I'm a mac user and I wondered if anyone knew if they were going to port Builder to OSX or to Linux? I use it at work and really like it (although my license has run out which sucks), but I wondered if there was a way to accomplish the same thing on OSX. I had run across a website that talked about MyEclipse and mapping to a mxml.xsd, but I was unsure. Any ideas? I've been programming in my spare time and I would like to really do soemthing with Flex. M@ ** This e-mail and any files transmitted with it may contain privileged or confidential information.

Component scripting syntax
I'm having some trouble with syntax while running a script in a component.
I hope I can explain the problem clearly.
I've created an mxml component to which I'm passing a dataObject. In the
component, I want to use a script to do some manipulation of the dataObject.
To test the script, I created a stand-alone app that ran the script and
populated a list using the following syntax:
mx:Model id=dp1 source=assets/sales.xml /
mx:List initialize=newProvider(dp1.measures.measure.element) id=myList/
In the test script, the newProvider function is looks like this:
function newProvider(source)
{
[some actions here to create new Array based on source]
myList.dataProvider = newArray;
}
This works just fine.
Now, I want to do the same thing, but in a component called MeasureList
that is being passed the dataObject. In my main app, I use the same model
and invoke (if that's the right word) the MeasureLIst component instance as
follows:
mx:Model id=dp1 source=assets/sales.xml /
MeasureList id=sMeasureList1 dataObject={dp1.measures.measure.element}/
In the MeasureList component, I have a script where I try to use the passed
dataObject in the script. Here, the list is initialized as follows:
mx:List id=listDisplay rowHeight=16 styleName=dgTextStyle
initialize=newProvider(dataObject) width=100%/
and the script looks like this:
mx:Script
![CDATA[
var dataObject;
function newProvider(source)
{
[some actions here to create new Array based on source]
myList.dataProvider = newArray;
}
]]
/mx:Script
In this case, the list doesn't get populated, but no errors are thrown. I'm
figuring I must just have the data-passing syntax wrong, since nothing else
about the script has changed from the test version. Any insights?

RE: [flexcoders] attributes of getURL
You can get at the name of the window in the page's JavaScript but not in
Flex AFAIK. When you use getURL() to call a function that creates a new
browser window, that new window not a known object in the Flex environment.
However, you can use getURL to call other functions that can access that
window object by its name.
I've attached three files that show this.
WindowOpenTest.mxml - this contains the triggers for calling the JavaScript
functions openWindow, closeWindow, muckWindow, and updateWindow on the new
window object.
WindowOpenTest.html - this contains the HTML wrapper for the flex app and
the JavaScript functions that are called by the Flex app. (You will have to
explicitly request the MXML file first so it is compiled into a SWF; then
request the HTML file to try it out.)
window.html - this file defines the created window

I see that the scrollTipFunction that you

refer to a column by making a call like this using the example from the API:
function
scrollTipFunction(direction:String, position:Number) : String
{
if (direction ==
vertical) {
//
returns the name of the column youre scrolling past?
return
myDataGrid.columns[position].columnName;
} else return ;
}
I dont know if
that works but columns is a valid attribute of the datagrid component so it
makes sense youd be able to index it, because I know Im doing
this for something else Im doinglet me know if that works

scrollTipFunction(direction:String, position:Number) :
String{if (direction == "vertical")
{
//
returns the name of the column youre scrolling past?
return myDataGrid.columns[position].columnName;
} else return
"";}
I dont know if
that works but columns is a valid attribute of the datagrid component so it
makes sense youd be able to index it, because I know Im doing this for
something else Im doinglet me know if that works

Populating DataGrid using Remote Object with arguments
Hi,
I've gone through examples where I can call a remote object by
clicking on a button and populating a datagrid. The function call on
the button click accepts arguments processed by the remote object
(POJO).
How do i populate the datagrid on page launch, without having to
click a 'Get Data' button AND pass arguments to the Java object? In
other words, I dont want to click a button to pass an argument and
populate the grid.
Doing it like this does not work:
mx:DataGrid id=dg3 dataProvider=remoteTagInfo.getList
('ENG').result width=100%
/mx:DataGrid
Code below...
Thx.
mx:Script
var my_list;
/mx:Script
mx:RemoteObject id=remoteTagInfo
source=samples.explorer.EmployeeManager
result=my_list=event.result
fault=alert(event.fault.faultstring, 'Error')
mx:method name=getList/
/mx:RemoteObject
mx:Model id=dp source=catalog.xml /
mx:Panel id=menuBarPanel title=test width=100% height=100%
mx:Button label=Get Data click=remoteTagInfo.getList('ENG')/
mx:DataGrid id=dg3 dataProvider={my_list} width=100%
/mx:DataGrid
/mx:Panel
Re: [flexcoders] Class to Integrate Central with Flex
Thanks!
RE: [flexcoders] Populating DataGrid using Remote Object with arguments
look at using the initialize attribute of the Application tag. You set thisto a
function and when the app loads, this function is fired.
BUT - in this case I would set the function on the grids creationComplete so
that when the grid is created the function will fire and your data will load.

How do I create a listener WITH parameters for a button dynamically?
Here is an example
where I am creating a button using mxml:
mx:Button
id="btnOK" label="OK" click="btnOKClicked(event, 'hello', 'blue', 'bird');"
/
Notice mythat the
click event refers to a function, btnOKClicked, passing 4 parameters to
it.
Here is an example
of me creating the same button, BUT dynamically:
var temp =
this.createChild(mx.controls.Button, null, { id:"btnOK" label:"OK"
});
Now here is my
question. How do I dynamically define a listener for this that allows passing
multiple parameters?
I would normally do
this:
temp.addEventListener("click", mx.utils.Delegate.create(this,
btnOKClicked));
But this includes
onlythe function name (btnOKClicked), but I want the click event handler
of this dynamically-created button to pass the strings, "hello", "blue", and
"bird" as well. How can I do this?

Asfunction not working inside htmlText
Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble getting asfunction to work inside htmlText.
This post in the MM flex newgroup suggests that asfunction may have
been broken with the release of 1.5:
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=346threadid=929079highlight_key=ykeyword1=asfunction
Here's a super simplified version of what I'm trying to do:
---
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml; xmlns=*
mx:Script
function hello_you(you:String) {
alert(hello + you);
}
/mx:Script
mx:Text
mx:htmlText![CDATA[
Click a href=asfunction:hello_you,'Dolly'here/a to say hello.
]]/mx:htmlText
/mx:Text
mx:Spacer height=20/
!-- this works, but asfunction above does not --
mx:Button label=Click to say hello click=hello_you('Polly');/
/mx:Application
-
Does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong, or if asfunction really
is broken?
Thanks - Greg

function clickHandler(event):Void

So clickHandler is what the MXML compiler automatically generates for you.

RE: [flexcoders] form validation
Hi Robert, For part 1, you willhave to create your own PhoneNumberValidator class that only validates the value if there is one. I had to do the same thing for some other validator. For part 2, I use the StringValidator for validating ComboBoxes, it should be enough,never done it with radio buttons however. Jimmy Gianninas Software Developer - Optimal Payments Inc. From: Robert Brueckmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 11:10 AMTo: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: [flexcoders] form validation Im havinga heck of a time understanding how form validation works. I have a formit contains text fields, drop down lists, and radio buttons. Its a basic user information formfirst name, last name, address 1, address 2, etc. I also have 3 fields: phone, fax, and mobile, but I only have the phone field as being required (visually, anyways, utilizing the required attribute set to true of the mx:FormItem component, but set to false for fax and mobile). I also have phone, fax and mobile being monitored by the mx:PhoneNumberValidator components. But the problem is the form wont submit if the user hasnt entered a fax or mobile, even though theyre not required but because I have validators on them. Is there any way to ONLY validate them if the user has entered a value in their fields and not enforce them as being required even though I dont have them flagged as being required? Also, how do I validate whether a user has selected an option from a drop-down or a radio button group? I am successfully setting their values to the data model I have set up but do I use a StringValidator on those values to ensure something has been checked or is there a better way to do that? I looked at the examplesin Stephen and Alistairs book but some things arent valid in Flex 1.5 anymore and other things just confuse the heck out of me or dont apply to the type of form Im trying to build and validate.

Hi Dustin, Are you talking about single sign-on? Meaning, having multiple Flex UIs and only having to login once? I need to do this inthe next month or so, and I plan to have a main Flex UI which provides the login form, once login is successful, it will load the appropriate secondary UI using the Loader component.

DataGrid / dataProvider question
Hi,
I have an xml document that has the following form
categories
category id=123 name=abc
products
product id=123 name=def
price12.54/price
/product
product id=345 name=ghi
price12.54/price
descdescription/desc
/product
/products
/category
category id=123 name=abc
products
product id=123 name=def
price12.54/price
/product
product id=345 name=ghi
price12.54/price
descdescription/desc
/product
/products
/category
/categories
I am trying to bind this to a data grid, in which the columns are
the categoy name and price
of each product in the category. My question is how do I specify
the reference to a specific
product in DataGridColumn? If someone has an example, I would love
to see it.
the following is the basic grid that I have
mx:DataGrid id=display width=100% height=30%
dataProvider={category.items} rowCount=10
mx:columns
mx:Array
mx:DataGridColumn columnName=name
headerText=Category/
/mx:Array
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
Thanks.
