[flexcoders] Re: HTTPService xmlEncoder
I have a set of VO's in the application that need to be sent to the server as XML. I was debating whether I should provide the objects and specify an xmlEncoder to the HTTP Service, or simply do the encoding use Strings as the request arguments to send. At this this time, I have decided to go ahead and specify an xmlEncoder.

RE: [flexcoders] reset views fields values for a stackview panel
Hi Matt, I tried distoryAllChildren for the viewStack but the application has been put on his knees I got an warning message from the player that a script is causing some problems... don't remember the message... I think I would like the approach you mention with the binded model to the form elements and try clear the model and disable/enable the validator.

If you want you could have the fields on each screen bound to some model and then clear the fields within the model. If you have Validators set up though you'll need to be careful because the Validators might indicate that the form is invalid after it has been cleared. You'll need to disable the validators before clearing the fields and re-enable them after. I think we've discussed this in other flexcoders posts but I don't remember the subjects.

[flexcoders] Drag/Pan/Zoom HOWTO-do it better?
Hi all, I've loaded a SWF map into a mx:Canvas (Flex 1.5) and need advice as to how to tackle the following problems: - When zooming/scaling the map the mx:Canvas scrollbars (always set to on) are not behaving properly (sometimes not reflecting the change in the scale of the content and sometimes disappearing altogether). Any pointers as to how I can get the mx:Canvas scrollbars to behave correctly/consistently? - When moving the map around in the mx:Canvas using the scrollbars the movement is jerky and slow. Any tips/samples on how I can improve the behavior? - When dragging the map with the mouse clicked down the movement is jerky and slow at best. Does anyone have any tips/samples as to how to optimise this type of functionality? Is there a means to reduce the rendering quality of the SWF displayed within the Canvas to low while dragging to mitigate the effects of this problem? I'm a Java coder and still getting to grips with mxml and as2 tricks. Any tips/hints/pointers/samples much appreciated. Thanks, Carlos Lozano Quavantis Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Drag/Pan/Zoom HOWTO-do it better?
Thanks for tips!
1.Have
tried setting vScrollPolicy to off with the result being less
than satisfactory; despite clipContent being set to on if vScrollPolicy
hScrollPolicy are set to off the SWF loaded within
the Canvas gets repainted beyond the boundaries of the Canvas. Yep... weird.
2.As
to dragging, I do it more or less this way:
-
//
Check whether this is an event affecting the Canvas.
function
handleCanvasEvent():Boolean {
if (canvas1.mouseX=0 canvas1.mouseX=(canvas1.width-20)
canvas1.mouseY=0
canvas1.mouseY=(canvas1.height-20)) {
return
true;
} else {
return
false;
}
}
//
Detect mouse down and whether this event should be handled for dragging.
function
handleMouseDownSomewhere(event) {
if (handleCanvasEvent()) {
mouseDownX
= canvas1.mouseX;
mouseDownY
= canvas1.mouseY;
currentX
= layerCanvas.x;
currentY
= layerCanvas.y;
}
}
//
Handle events for life dragging.
function
handleMouseMoveSomewhere(event) {
if (handleCanvasEvent()) {
layerCanvas.x
= currentX+(canvas1.mouseX-mouseDownX);
layerCanvas.y
= currentY+(canvas1.mouseY-mouseDownY);
}
}
-
I'm
sure there must be more elegant ways to produce similar effects... this
works with the aforementioned unsavoury side-effects.
3.Tried
it... has improved performance somewhat. Can this reduction in rendering
quality be applied to specific contains or always at a global level?

[flexcoders] Flex Containers.
Is there a way to make flex containers grow in size insted of showing a scroll bar? I know you can use 100% values on widths and heigths but lets say you have a viewstack and inside you have a product search component that uses a repeater to display products, but each time there are more products on the repeater a scroll bar comes up on the viewstack and what I would want is the viewstack itself grow so only the main Application scroll bar comes up.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Containers.
Omar - yes, it's an undocumented feature that took me a while to find out about. In your ViewStack, set resizeToContent=true. That's it.

Re: [flexcoders] Drag/Pan/Zoom HOWTO-do it better?
1. Darn...
2. Try changing this:
// Handle events for "life" dragging.
function
handleMouseMoveSomewhere(event) {
if (handleCanvasEvent()) {
layerCanvas.x =
currentX+(canvas1.mouseX-mouseDownX);
layerCanvas.y = currentY+(canvas1.mouseY-mouseDownY);
}
}
To this:
// Handle events for "life" dragging.
function
handleMouseMoveSomewhere(event) {
if (handleCanvasEvent()) {
layerCanvas.x =
currentX+(canvas1.mouseX-mouseDownX);
layerCanvas.y = currentY+(canvas1.mouseY-mouseDownY);
updateAfterEvent();
} }
3. Darn... naw, _quality is a global switch to tell
the Flash player to render the entire contents in that quality mode; currently,
you cannot tell a specific area how to render. You can also try
"MEDIUM".

If resizeToContent is not working for you, another option is to take
over the sizing of the ViewStack.
ViewStack id=vs change=myChangeHandler() /
function myChangeHandler():Void
{
vs.width = vs.selectedChild.preferredWidth;
vs.height = vs.selectedChild.preferredHeight;
}
i.e. always size the ViewStack to the preferred width/height of the
selected child.

You'll have to extend the TabNavigator and override the selectedIndex setter.
