RE: [flexcoders] Regarding Session in macromedia flex
Hi, You don't need to do that. In Flex, you can load the user data using some remote call (using as example RemoteObject) and save it in a variable on the Flex side and use it whenever you want. Normally you would put the variable in the root MXML file and access it when needed. If you get more advanced, and use say the Cairngorm framework, you would save the user data in the ModelLocator.

RE: [flexcoders] Is it the right way of using dispatchEvent?
Hi, When you extend UIComponent, it comes with event dispatching capabilities. So you don't need to use EventDispatcher.initialize(this) kind of mixin. You need to add [Event("eventName")] metadata in your class/component and just use dispatchEvent(..) method directly. No need to use Delegate inside your class, compile generates the code for you with right scope. Also you don't need to execute the event-handlers in your code by getting the reference of event-handler. Everything is done automatically... Check out following link to see how to dispatch event correctly. You probably need to less code that you write than you write pure Flash becauseFlex makes your life little easier :) http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/flex_docs_en/0985.htm If you still have any problem, let us know. -abdul From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ramu pSent: Tuesday, October 18, 2005 4:32 AMTo: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: [flexcoders] Is it the right way of using dispatchEvent?

[flexcoders] Maximizing to fullscreen a component
Hi, I'm currently trying to enhance the Christophe's pods. I'd like to add some Fullscreen feature: When clicking on the Fullscreen button, the panel is taking the whole browser screen overlapping everything. I managed to do that by using createChild() and instanciating a new Panel which I refill with the previously entered data (when the panel was in normal mode). But as our application will be huge and will contains tons of Panel. I'd like to reuse the existing panel instance and replace its parent by the main layout (there can be a indefinite number of layers between the panel and the main layout aka any fullscreenable panel should be capable to overlap everything without carring about its depth in the application). Aren't there some method or component that support some addExistingChild method?

[flexcoders] Vector images versus Bitmaps in Flex (and transparency)
We have a number of transparent images that we'd like to display in Flex. I know that Flash is at heart a vector engine, so it suggests that performance of vector images will be much better than bitmaps. 1) Are vector images typically faster than bitmaps? I suspect there are a number of situations in which bitmaps will be smaller and/or faster. 2) How does one get vector images with a transparent background into Flex? I'm talking about the production process and not the @embed swf syntax. Assume the images will be coming from Adobe Illustrator. I assume that there are ways to do this with and without the Flash Authoring tool. Ideally there is a command line process? 3) From what I can tell, if we want transparency and the ability to load these on the fly, they must be swf's. (GIF's need to be embedded and FP7 does not support transparent JPEG's).Is this true? If I convert the transpent GIF's to a SWF, do I lose anything? Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Fair play?

In this case, however, I don't want to do that because that would mean having to use DataSelector on VBox. I've looked into how ScrollSelectList does it, but List and others that actually utilize the modelChange event are merely getting it from their super-class even though that super class doesn't get it till runtime. He does subscribe to the modelChange event generated from the dataProvider in his' init method, but when trying that in my class, no go. I can get the first modelChanged event when the dataProvider is set externally by doing the following: addEventListener(modelChanged, Delegate.create(this, onModelChanged)); The only solution I can think of is to use composition, but it shouldn't be this hard to subscribe to an event... ??? --JesterXL -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

Re: [flexcoders] Vector images versus Bitmaps in Flex (and transparency)
1. Nope. Vector images take more CPU to render, and in pre-Flash 8, they are constantly redrawn. So, too, are raster graphics (bitmaps), but they do not require using the internal vector-to-pixel rendering engine; more RAM, less CPU. Yes; use bitmaps when you can. 2. You can: - utilize Flash, output a SWF and embed into Flex - utilize Illustrator, import the AI into Flash, and repeat the above - utilize Illustrator, or another program, output SVG, and import into Flex - utilize one of the open source drawing packages, and have them render the drawing at runtime (DENG for example) Don't know about commandline. 3. Correct; if you load your Flex SWF into Flash Player 8, however, it'll support PNG's GIF's. GIF's don't bode well into Flash, mainly because their palletes are 8bit, and sometimes transparency throws older versions of the Flash Player off. Suffice it to say, if you utilize Flex to import, you should be fine. - Original Message - From: Eric Raymond [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2005 12:30 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Vector images versus Bitmaps in Flex (and transparency) We have a number of transparent images that we'd like to display in Flex.

I have my AS code in different files, and right now have nothing but function stubs, and am getting no end of errors :/ I create a variable var investigatorSelectionGrid_dp:Array = new Array(1); first thing it does is on the mxml side where I have it assigned to a dataProvider parameter it says something about possibly not being able to see changes or something. So I add [Bindable] over it. Then it says I can't use [Bindable] on a non-public variable, so I add public before it. It still says its a non-public variable. *scream* It was so simple before and seems to be like pulling teeth now, im going nuts. I can't belief they would louse up Flex as bad as it seems they have, so I am hoping I am missing something that knowing makes it all atleast mostly as easy as before. Anyone?!?! Tnks Greg Yahoo!

Hi Greg, If you can post the code that's not working, or a link to a zip of it, that would probably help.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2: Passing to a PopupWindow
I think the best way to pass values to popup window is to use init object methodology. Declare variables in myPopup.mxml For example var firstName:String; var lastName:String; In the parent mxml file Create an object. Assign values to above said attributes. Example var initObj:Object = new Object(); initObj.firstName = zz; // should match variable declared in myPopup.mxml initObj.lastName = xxx; // should match variable declared in myPopup.mxml then pass this initObj var popupWindow:TitleWindow = TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, myPopup, true,initObj)); Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] De-Select on Tree does not fire change event
Hey Stacy The change event event fires only as a result of user interaction. So if youre de-selecting a node by changing the trees selectedIndex or selectedItem properties programmatically, you will not receive an event. There are a few ways to get around this. You may want to watch for changes to the Trees selectedItem/selectedIndex properties (read: binding) or the easier thing would be for you to manually dispatch a change event when the de-selection occurs programmatically. If the de-selection is occurring by user interaction (ctrl + click), then Im seeing the change event fire when selection and de-selection occurs. Of course that is in the case of multipleSelection=true. If multipleSelection is not enabled, youll want to watch for a change event on another node to register that the currently selected node is not selected anymore.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Macromedia Labs site
I think there's a business opportunity to create a CF based Wiki; I've had to integrate a PHP one because there aren't any good CF based ones out there. But I just want to comment that for MACR to make one; the decision would be to divert resources. Frankly I'd rather see MACR focusing on their core products, as opposed to pulling CF guys off of CF8 to make a CF based wiki which would be totally sunk cost unless they plan to sell it as a product. Financially it wouldn't make sense. charlespaz1 wrote: I recognized it as MediaWiki, and I understand PHP is a great tool, I use it myself when the project calls for it. I have nothing against Macromedia using PHP if it is the right tool for the job. However, as the "15th Billionth" person to comment on this, I find the impression that it gives in this case an unsettling one. How would you feel if Microsoft hosted their web pages on Linux/Apache instead of Windows/IIS? Or developed Office in Delphi? It just wouldn't give a great impression of their confidence in their own product. Who, if not Macromedia, has the most knowledgable people of ColdFusion? Who, if not Macromedia, should be running a ColdFusion based Wiki, to not only showcase their product, but to show their confidence in its use in an enterprise environment. With a simple Google search today I found a ColdFusion wiki, and I've downloaded a few others previously. http://www.cdsi-solutions.com/cfwiki/ But hey, that's just my opinion. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Mike Chambers [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes.

[flexcoders] Dividing the mailing list into categories
I've brought this up before and I'm going to go out on a limb again and suggest that we maybe create a Flex 2 noobs mailing list. I say this because I think that in the coming weeks there is going to be a deluge of members to here that a)are brand spanking new to Flex and even Flash b) Haven't really read the posting etiquette or become familiar with searching previous posts c)are just dabbling etc. I think it will make it a lot more readable and usable a list if those who are at least working with 1.5 for production level projects that will continue can be spared our posts of Hello help I'm oblivious. Last time I mentioned this it was more motivated by the sense that newbies needed a place to ask for help and then be directed to the docs or a Google search while the more knowledgeable guys can have a more productive environment. Before I believe that as pointed out to me -Flex's developer population was not yet at critical mass for this kind of partitioning. I have the feeling that this week will change that. Either way I think that this Flex 2 is the best thing since indoor plumbing. The workflow is fluid, the docs are light and informative and I very well might need a relationship counselor in the next few weeks or someone to keep my fiancee at whatever venue so that we don't have to break up while I stay glued to this computer.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Dividing the mailing list into categories
This setup works well in Flash; Flashcoders handles component ActionScript coding issues where as Flashnewbie handles anything not advanced. There are a bunch of smart people on Flashnewbie, and everyone pitches in to help. What Flexcoders, though, really needs is a clear division between tasks, not just skillset. For exmaple, Flex Enterprise Services are what most of the Enterprise customers on this list will care about, whereas those Flashers who finally see the f'ing light, will just be asking MXML component questions. Flashcom for example was setup so Flash Communication Server questions weren't asked on Flashcoders, or Flashnewbie. This works well as each has a nice community going on. If it were up to me, I'd say: Flexcoders = stays as is Flexserver = deals with enterprise services Most of the Flash devs incoming will get up to speed pretty quickly, and there are already plenty of experienced Flex devs on Flashcoders. Besides, we're at version 1.5, not 8 like the Flash community is.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 2.0 - Arrays vs. Collections
I'm so glad someone is venturing into the world of collections, and I encourage the rest of you to do so :) A few points that will help you out as you continue to use collections: -You can still pass in a plain old Array as the dataProvider to list-based components. Internally, we wrap that as an ArrayCollection. -The Flex 1.5 IDataProvider interface is now gone. The dataProviders of list-based components are now of type ICollectionView. You need to use the collection-related methods (methods on IList and ICollectionView) to modify and query the data. The ASDocs will be your friends here. Remember, when going through the dataProvider property to modify the underlying data, you will need to cast the dataProvider as IList or ICollectionView depending on which methods you will be calling. -As for what is the difference between ICollectionView and IList - think of IList as a straightforward, simple interface for describing a linear randomly-accessible collection. ICollectionView is more generic then IList and provides broader functionality like sorting, ranging, filtering (not yet in the Alpha), and navigation via an IViewCursor.

I think JRun has a sniffer.exe in the main jrun bin directory that you could use...

[flexcoders] Flex 1.5 mx.events.LowLevelEvents bug(99911) addition
Before I log this, wanted to make sure my logic is correct. - I have a VBox full of dynamically created children (via createChild). - those children have the ability to change their index by clicking on up and down arrow buttons - clicking the button causes the parent to call setChildIndex to adjust the index up or down - this calls layoutChildren, which in turn re-positions the children... BUT does not update the _mouseTracker that is created via mx.events.LowLevelEvents - if you click again, the mouseUp event still thinks the same child is the target, and thus dispatches this in mouseUp evnets. Naturally, moving your mouse after clicking fixes it because onMouseMove gets called twice. What I did to fix it so you don't have to move your mouse is to immediately call mx.events.LowLevelEvents.onMouseMove twice after setChildIndex. Works like a charm, but man, that was HARD to find...!

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 mx.events.LowLevelEvents bug(99911) addition
That sounds like this below, from the faq: *** 17. Sometimes, if I don't move the mouse, click and mouseDown don't work. This is a focus issue with the Flash Player, usually when the UI changes underneath the mouse pointer, as in a ViewStack navigation where the buttons are in the same screen location. A work around is to add this property to the button tag: trackAsMenu=true *** So I suspect/hope it is fixed in 2.0.

BUT does not update the _mouseTracker that is created via mx.events.LowLevelEvents - if you click again, the mouseUp event still thinks the same child is the target, and thus dispatches this in mouseUp evnets. Naturally, moving your mouse after clicking fixes it because onMouseMove gets called twice. What I did to fix it so you don't have to move your mouse is to immediately call mx.events.LowLevelEvents.onMouseMove twice after setChildIndex. Works like a charm, but man, that was HARD to find...!
