[flexcoders] Re: Tab navigator questions ANYONE ?
Thanks alot Manish for the Tab style, that's exactly what I was
looking for...
About the Icon: the following mxml app have three buttons, the first
one changes the icon of the first tab in a binding way, the second in
a direct way, and the third allows me to control the icon's value...
While both binding direct way of changing value do update icon's
property, there is no visual impact of the update onscreen... Any idea
on what to trigger to force icon's visual-refresh ???

RE: [flexcoders] Bug report: Incorrect hidden member in ancestor class warnings
Hi Aral,
This doesn't look like a bug to me.
You are effectively creating a sub-class with the same class members as its
base class contains (set the keep-generated flag when you compile and you'll
see that) and the Flex compiler is correctly warning you of that.
Taking MXML out of the equation (and simplified), here's what you're really
doing:
class com.ariaware.pizza.view.Application extends mx.core.Application
{
...
private var orderForm:OrderForm;
...
class AprPizza extends com.ariaware.pizza.view.Application
{
...
public var orderForm:OrderForm;
...
So, you are hiding the base class member.
Is there really a need to have the same class members in both the base class
and the sub-class? If you explain what you're trying to do, we may be able
to offer alternatives.
Cheers,
Ali

Re: [flexcoders] Bug report: Incorrect hidden member in ancestor class warnings
Hi Ali,
Actually, your email highlights the problem even better than mine :)
The problem currently is exactly as you illustrate. I am being forced to
write the equivalent of the code you provided (below) because Flex does
not understand that orderForm already exists in the base class and
redeclares it while compiling the MXML.
// Ali's code demonstrating bug in question
class com.ariaware.pizza.view.Application extends mx.core.Application
{
...
private var orderForm:OrderForm;
...
class AprPizza extends com.ariaware.pizza.view.Application
{
...
public var orderForm:OrderForm;
...
Of course, the ideal thing would be to fix this behavior so that the
compiler does not redeclare properties that already exist in the base
classes. This is the same issue I was pointing out (albeit starting with
the symptom and not the cause.) Thus, Flex should generate the following
code, but doesn't:
// How Flex *should* generate the class
class com.ariaware.pizza.view.Application extends mx.core.Application
{
...
private var orderForm:OrderForm;
...
class AprPizza extends com.ariaware.pizza.view.Application
{
...
// public var orderForm:OrderForm; // Not redeclared because it already
exists in base class.
...
Not knowing the amount of work that would be involved to fix the actual
cause, I was suggesting it might be easier to turn off the warning
message in these instances. As I stated earlier, however, it would be
ideal if Flex detected the existence of the property in the base class
and didn't redeclare it when creating the AS2 class from the MXML.
All the best,
Aral

[flexcoders] Remote object that returns an array of objects
All, I have a method on my app server called getAllUser() that returns UserVO[]. When I get that back in flex as an Array the items inside the array are of type object, instead of the actionScript UserVO that is associated with that java type being returned. My work around for this is to create a UserArrayVO class on both sides (App Server and Flex) and in that class is just one variable that is of type UserVO[] on the server and Array on flex and then I get back the correct classes in flex. So my question is, is this the way to do something like this? Obviously flex knows how to handle the objects when it is within another class, just not when it is an array of them coming back.

RE: [flexcoders] Remote object that returns an array of objects
Are you using Object.registerClass() to register the UserVO type to map the fully qualified ActionScript class name to that returned by Java (rather than the old Flex 1.0 _remoteClass which I strongly discourage in Flex 1.5)? If so, then the next step is verify that the server sent back Typed AMF Objects in the RemoteObject response rather than generic AMF Objects. To do so, you want to rely on server side logging for this as it is more reliable and client AMF debugging tools (notably it avoids the issue in the old Flash Remoting NetConnection Debugger where by registered objects are printed as "undefined" in the trace output - possibly related to a bug in AS2 that registered type instances answer true to a test for "== null"...the work around to this bug in your own code isto use the strictequality test of "=== null" or "!== null") If you're working on a local Flex server and launched your app server on the command line - enable console logging in /WEB-INF/flex/flex-config.xml and then modify the AMF Gateway logging settings by turning on "Debug" level logging in the /WEB-INF/flex/gateway-config.xml file. You should see in AMF trace whether Typed objects were sent (and the classname that was specified for the type).

RE: [flexcoders] Remote object that returns an array of objects
Hi Jeff, You don't mention if you are using the Cairngorm frameworkor not, but I do and I also use ValueObjects. I took the ViewHelper/ViewLocator pattern and created a ValueObject (or Model) Pattern so that finding ValueObjects from anywhere in your app is as easy as the ViewHelper pattern.

When I get that back in flex as an Array the items inside the array are of type object, instead of the actionScript UserVO that is associated with that java type being returned. My work around for this is to create a UserArrayVO class on both sides (App Server and Flex) and in that class is just one variable that is of type UserVO[] on the server and Array on flex and then I get back the correct classes in flex. So my question is, is this the way to do something like this? Obviously flex knows how to handle the objects when it is within another class, just not when it is an array of them coming back.

exactly what you are doing in Test 2, I duplicated this pattern from the Login

[flexcoders] Re: Simple Cairngorm architecture question
If you looks at the mx.controls.Alert class, you can only give the show() method a listener object, and that object must implement a click() method. You can't specify which method the Alert may call, so I'm stuck giving it an object that has one click(). If this object happens to be the MXML, then I can't use it for different Alerts, because each one will only call click(). So now I have to decide where the proper place for click() should be. I don't want to use groupdetails.mxml, for the reason stated above (I also have buttons that deactivate groups, and do other things, all backed by Alerts). I don't know if it should go into the DeleteGroupCommand. I supposed I could add a click() method to this command, that kicks off an event that runs the same command, but that seems messy. It also somewhat ties my command to my view, since the Alert is just a UI technicality. This leaves the GroupDetailsViewHelper, but again, using this class for broadcasting a command event might not be right.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Remote object that returns an array of objects
Can you show me the constructor of your ActionScript UserVO class?
Note that ActionScript object instantiation from deserialized AMF is
different from, say, normal Java object instantiation.
i.e. The ActionScript pseudo code might look something like this (note,
I'm not an AS coder and this isn't real ActionScript... just a
reflection of my understanding of what goes on):
var myInstance:MyType = MyType.prototype.clone();
myInstance.someProperty = suppliedValue;
myInstance.anotherProperty = anotherSuppliedValue;
...
myInstance.constructor();
This allows you to mimic passing constructor arguments. If you set
defaults in your constructor then you should first check to see if a
property is undefined so that you don't override the deserialized value.

I do have lots of public vars which come back undefined. So I assume
they
were not of the proper type.
I think I have a test case that should prove the class is available but
I am
not sure. I am using the cairngorm framework. So in my command class
in
the onResult class I can test these two sets of code. Obviously I
switch
out the java code to return the correct types to match the test.
Test 1 (Fails, but I do get the correct length array of 1 item)
var tempArray:Array = Array (event.result);
for (var i = 0; itempArray.length; i++)
{
var tempUser:UserVO = UserVO(tempArray[i]);
mx.core.Application.alert (Test with userVo +
tempUser.userName);
}
Test 2 (Succeeds)
var temp:UserArrayVO = UserArrayVO (event.result);
var tempUser:UserVO = UserVO(temp.userArray[0]);
mx.core.Application.alert (Test2 with userVo + tempUser.userName);
Does that test make any sense or prove or disprove anything?
Thanks
Jeff

The AMF trace says objects are being sent back as Typed AMF Objects in
both cases... so now you have to determine whether the type is linked in
at compile time (this will depend on more than just an import statement
- you actually have to use the type somewhere in the script) so that it
is available at runtime.
When you said the items inside the array are of type object how are
you determining that they are just a plain old ActionScript object? Note
that typeof() in AS2 does not tell you the class name of an instance, it
always says object for anything that is derived from object.
Do you have a function on your ActionScript UserVO class that you can
call to check whether it was correctly instantiated as UserVO?

[flexcoders] Development Environment Setup Q's
I've been thinking recently on how to setup a good development environment for multiple developers on the same Flex application. Using CVS or Subversion would be the goal. Getting a production or test version out of CVS could be done with Ant, that seems simple enough. Where I run into problems is the structure of the different files on the server side and how to get those into the module/modules in CVS properly. In all my previous projects with CVS it's been a single language involved, so having all the Java files in one module (or a few if there were shared libraries) was easy. In this case there's the actual app directory with mxml and as files. Then there's the directory with the remote java objects files (which is shared between apps). And the directory with shared as files (also shared between apps). And in my case there's also going to be the internal web services in cfc files. Making seperate modules for each of these doesn't feel right. And configuring the server side so each developer has their own directory so they can rip apart what they're working on safely doesn't seem right either. But I don't think I can install a local copy of Flex and ColdFusion on each machine to develop from (can I?). Any wisdom from the experienced here? Jason Yahoo!

Hi Josh,
Here is a example of how you would do
it.
var alertListener:Function =
Delegate.create(this,OnAlert_Click);
Alert.show("This is a test of errors", "Error", Alert.OK | Alert.CANCEL,
this, alertListener);
function
OnAlert_Click(){trace("CLICK");}
or you
could also do this.
Alert.show("This
is a test of errors", "Error", Alert.OK | Alert.CANCEL, this,
Delegate.create(this,OnAlert_Click));
hope it helps.

Hi Josh, If you looks at the mx.controls.Alert class,
you can only give theshow() method a listener object, and that object
must implement aclick() method.As Omar was saying earlier,
you can use a Delegate in place of the listener. Instead of a listener
reference (object or function), pass it a delegate function using the
Delegate factory. ie,Delegate.create ( this, someOnClickMethod

[flexcoders] ActionScript Components
Might someone point me in the direction of some good docs/examples of creating components using ActionScript. I have the RIA book and chapter 10 has some information, but its disappointingly sparse. Mostly I am interested in how to create a composite component. A component containing many other components. The examples I have seen so far simply extend a given component and alter its behavior.Right now I am creating all of my components in MXML with a separate file for their ActionScript. It's starting to get a bit messy for complex components. Any kind of a boot in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks! -- Matthew Yahoo!

Using CVS or Subversion would be the goal. Getting a production or test version out of CVS could be done with Ant, that seems simple enough. Where I run into problems is the structure of the different files on the server side and how to get those into the module/modules in CVS properly. In all my previous projects with CVS it's been a single language involved, so having all the Java files in one module (or a few if there were shared libraries) was easy. In this case there's the actual app directory with mxml and as files. Then there's the directory with the remote java objects files (which is shared between apps). And the directory with shared as files (also shared between apps). And in my case there's also going to be the internal web services in cfc files. Making seperate modules for each of these doesn't feel right. And configuring the server side so each developer has their own directory so they can rip apart what they're working on safely doesn't seem right either. But I don't think I can install a local copy of Flex and ColdFusion on each machine to develop from (can I?). Any wisdom from the experienced here? Jason Yahoo!

Omar,
That really does help, I appreciate it. I was trying to figure out how
to accomplish this...
Again, thanks!

Hi Josh,
Here is a example of how you would do it.
var alertListener:Function = Delegate.create(this,OnAlert_Click);
Alert.show(This is a test of errors, Error, Alert.OK | Alert.CANCEL,
this, alertListener);
function OnAlert_Click()
{
trace(CLICK);
}
or you could also do this.
Alert.show(This is a test of errors, Error, Alert.OK | Alert.CANCEL,
this, Delegate.create(this,OnAlert_Click));
hope it helps.

Re: [flexcoders] Development Environment Setup Q's
We use Subversion at work. I'd rather use Visual Source Safe because the lack of checkout ticks me off. Our folder structure is conf, for config files, typically XML for Java stuff, like Hibernate, various servletSettings that are project specific, etc. The lib folder houses all of those shared libraries that the Java guys need, like the jakarta, hibernate, and OpenAMF jars. The src folder has all the project specific java, typically model, controller, and value objects. I don't know where the homeskillet keeps his Delegates, but I'm not allowed to install Eclipse to find out (wife's learning Java, fragile confidence... don't ask). Finally, we have the flash folder. The only thing the Java guys ask is my model classpath match up with their's. Since You have to map the classes server-side via OpenAMF using XML, it makes it cake, because the Java guys, with just one small meeting with us (or rather my manager, I suckered him into doing all the model stuff... he reads this list, therefore I'll balance that with his experience working with the backend systems already, and his readily available ability to faciliate communication with the backend guys. *ahem*). The Flash get's a little more complex, but I've actually set it up just in case we ever port to Flex (prays). The classes themsevles are already com.companyname.model/view/controller/valueobj. Transitioning to Flex would merely require removing the class definitions from the as files, removing the createChildren functions (for the View's), and linking the AS files to the MXML. Not a bad conversion when your porting an entire app. So, class package path stays the same. The big difference would be my main controller would be replaced by Flex's application class since Flex allows you to have a top level application. The only thing I'd then actually remove from the current folder structure in the Flash directory (classes/fla/includes/jsfl/layoutxml) would be the includes; since it's merely there for a simple top level class instantiator; Flex does this for you. Yes, we have code we like to re-use, but because each project has enough modifications, base on functionality and design, anything truly proflicly OOP-i-fied is thrown in Utilities, a top level static class. Yeah, we'll re-use GUI widgets on other projects, maybe even some data service base classes (wrappers for Remoting)... doing so wouldn't be hard, but we'd ensure each project has it's own slot in source safe, even if they were the exact same. With front-end work, you never know what class you may want to tweak. What I don't know about, however, is actual deployment. Currently, Flash is in there, and we'll make a deploy folder later for actual client-side deployment files which will be downloaded from a website and pretty much fulltime on the client-machine. The Java, however, will have it's own unique server deployment (however our back-end G feels the need to do so). Flex would be different because we'd expect SVN to allow us to see our deployed files. My guess is, Dan (our Java head) would set up an external test server for the client team (since I work from home most the time, and another developer is currently in Canada or Ecuador(sp?) and he's made the biggest firewall known to man. Even with SCP access, as a GUI guy, I'd rather just have FlexBuilder (or Eclipse) allow me to upload in-app to the test server, test my code, and then checkin locally my working source to SVN, which is actually on the in-house, behind the Firewall box via SSH (I use Tortoise since Cygwin's confusing and rtfm in a console makes me want to play Atari). This setup with Flash Java currently works great for 4 main developers and 2 designers, all of which are located in various locations at different times throughout the world. The server guy tells us how to structure our model, my manager maintains most of the front end Model part, I've passed off most hardcore visual View work to my partner front-end develooper, and we all share the bitch work of coding the Controller section. Currently, the ONLY collisions we EVER have in a team environment is the bloody, binary FLA. Naturally, Flex doesn't have this problem; we just replace it with a swf and images folder, and we're good to go. We share the directory, and we all divy up the responsibility of which parts to code; so far, MVC is working out ok. We constantly keep in commuincation over instant messenger, quick in-office meetings, phone, etc. Fortunately (or unfortunately), Subversion kind of forces you to do that. - Original Message - From: temporal_illusion [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 6:15 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Development Environment Setup Q's I've been thinking recently on how to setup a good development environment for multiple developers on the same Flex application.

[flexcoders] createChild dynamically via DB arguments..
Can I quickly confirm something? In order to use createChild(classPath) that initial classPath has to be included before runtime correct? in that you cannot instantiate a custom MXML component unless you either xmlns: / import it? In saying that, if you have a situation where you want to via an onClick instantiate a MXML component thats path came from a DB, its not dooable as the FLEX server will need to know about this class upfront...that or you have to use attachMovie(your.mxmlFile.mxml.swf) ? -- Regards, Scott Barnes http://www.mossyblog.com http://www.flexcoder.com (Coming Soon) Yahoo!
