Re: [flexcoders] Dual core license policy
Personally, i think that now that FLEX 2.0 is on the showroom floor, any who have bought FLEX 1.5 already should get a big ol 1xFLEX per Computer, not cpu ;) as theres no real direction anyone can go unless they upgrade to Enterprise Services.. heh :) *(worth a shot)* On 11/3/05, Mika Kiljunen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What is the Macromedia's license policy on dual core processors?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex2: component and generated source code?
There are options in the project settings to allow you to add compiler
arguments, but in the public alpha it doesn't work correctly.
The only way I know of to get it to generate the .as files is to use the command line compiler - mxmlc.exe
That lives in the Flex Framework 2 Alpha\bin directory which I think
is automatically added under the Flex Builder install if you use the
standalone install.
Once you've found it, you can compile a file using the following from the command line:
mxmlc -keep {path_to_file}

Hi all,
Anyone know where/if we can get our hands on the component source for the Flex2 Alpha?
Also, there's a directory underneath my FB2 project tree called
generated but it always seems empty! Is therea way to inspect
the generated as3 code in Flex2 projects? Just for interests sake more
than anything else...

[flexcoders] Creating custom v3 components
For what I've seen v3 components are based on a template method pattern like did v2. If I'm not wrong this is the method invocation workflow : Constructor Initialize createChildren childrenCreated measure updateDisplayList Instead of calling invalidate() like in v2, now, if I'm not wrong, we can call redraw(Boolean) or invalidateDisplayList(). On the other hand when you call addChild, internally invalidateDisplayList is called. My problem is that if in updateDisplayList() overriden method I add an addChild statement then an infinite loop starts. Is there a way to prevent this?

hi, thanks for the response, i suppose i could do something like that, although after a quick test it would mean deferring a function call using getTime(), so a workaround. I was hoping that there is something more straightforward i could do within the component. i suspect i am missing something in my 'layoutChildren()' method, like changing invalidate flags or the like, that would get it to behave like the standard components.

[flexcoders] Newbie Question: Drag-And-Drop between two Flex-SWF files
Hi, i'm extremely new to Flex and, although I've seen in a few days part of the potential it has to give, I still got a lot to learn. Question comes here: I've tested the ability to drag-and-drop between two different custom components and it works amazingly well without demanding a lot of code. However, I'd like to do this between two different Flex files embedded in a JSP page (to accomplish some reuse of the SWF pages through the whole JSP application). I've tested a few things and googled about it, without getting any conclusion. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks in advance Pablo Apanasionek Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Fair play?

Re: [flexcoders] To code-behind or not to code-behind?
I was also raised .NET / Java and keep my code files the same name as the component and put them in a mx:Script source=ComponentName.as / It's probably personal perference but Flex Builder and the Eclipse plugin for mxml can't help at all with *.as formatting or any sort of tag completion if you keep your script in the mxml file. That... plus I love being able tosee the versions of the mxml files apart from the script in source control... shows me where we messed up in designing the UI higher version number in an mxml file means bad design up front. And now for the inflamatory material IT'S JUST CLEANER... WHY WOULDN'T YOU KEEP YOUR CODE FILE SEPARATE???!?!?!?!?? *snickers* On 11/2/05, Julian Suggate [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Gidday everyone, Years back, I wrote php scripts with code embedded in the html and it led to maintenance hassles. Since then, I've migrated to Java and now .NET and what I liked about their models was the ability to separate the code into code-behind, something done quite elegantly in ASP.NET. These eliminated a lot of the maintenance problems I'd encountered earlier with PHP. So when I saw macromedia's examples of mxml with mx:Script.../mx:Script blocks embedded directly into the mxml,I immediately searched for a way to avoid this. I found that i could add a source=.. attribute to the mx:Script element and the AS code would be included by the compiler from an external file at compile time. The IDE was even smart enough that any elements I'd defined with id attributes in the mxml showed up with intellisense in the included AS file (I am using Flex Builder 2, not sure if FB1.5 had that feature or not). But now I'm having second thoughts. It kinda feels like going against thegrain. I don't want to carry old biases into a new paradigm unnecessarily. I read an article by Aral Balkan (of ARP fame) endorsing the code-behind approach quite strongly, but by the same token, all sample apps from the Cairngorm team freely mix mxml and AS code, as do examples from macromedia themselves. I note though, that the Cairngorm framework itself is all pure AS; it is only the sample apps that use inline actionscript. I can't seem to find a best practice anywhere, because for every framework/example/article I find that seems to hint at one way of doing things, I find another one that suggests the opposite! Has anyone else with more Flex experience than me answered this question, particularly in terms of which approach is easier to maintain? At this stage, any hintswould be appreciated!

[flexcoders] Yahoo Maps Example
For those who want to see a quick example, you can download the SWC
(stupidly called Shockave control on the site, that's where the confusion
came in), and use this code. Keep in mind the sliders are NOT BACKWARDS!
Since I'm not a map geek, this was my first lesson in latitude longitude
as applied to map movements.

RE: [flexcoders] Yahoo Maps built with Flex!
The Flex API for Yahoo Maps does not require Shockwave. The pure-Flash, nothing-Shockwave-in-it SWC format is named SWC for historical reasons (ie, we never changed it to something that makes more sense). Yahoo gives the full name, ShockWave(r) Control, in one place that I noticed. Hopefully they can change this to just say SWC. -Brian -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Thompson Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 9:08 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Yahoo Maps built with Flex!

Although I'm not saying this is the case, there is prob. only one thing I'm sensetive to when it comes to macromedia, and that would be anything going on to try to unnecessarily require someone to adopt a certain technology only for the sake of spreading it (e.g. I like the new plans for Flex2 that won't _require_ getting involved in the huge license of Flex Presentation Server; on the same token, all my customers have complained heavily in the past about Shockwave versus Flash; Flash is _always_ preferred). -r --- David Mendels [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, More info here: http://www.techcrunch.com/2005/11/02/new-yahoo-maps-shows-powe r-of-flash / I suspect this is the highest profile Flex app to date.

[flexcoders] Re: Newbie Question: Drag-And-Drop between two Flex-SWF files
Sure! First of all, I have my JSP based application, which manages all the interaction between pages and business objects. When reaching the frontend subject, we thought of Flex for that job. So we began analyzing building some UI components which combine business logic in a fancy way. Those components (in SWF format), we'd like to use several times across the application, in different use cases. At the bottom line, we end up having (for example) a JSP page with 2+ embedded SWF/Flex files, that we would like to interact with each other. For instance, imagine a Registration component working with a Shopping Cart component as two different SWF files in the same JSP, and then reusing the Registration one with another SWF file in another page. I might be looking it the wrong way, but it's the approach we were looking for. (By the way, I'd be really interesting to find out it is wrong.) =) Thanks in advance --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Clint Modien [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can you tell the list a bit more about your trying to do... it sounds like your going about this the wrong way?

Subject: [flexcoders] problem adapting to FLEX 2 on defining variables
I had the following working OK in FLEX 1.5
mx:Script
![CDATA[
var gridResult:Object
function getPlayersResultHandler(result):Void {
gridResult=result;
// other stuff
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:DataGrid dataProvider={gridResult}
However I am finding it impossible to duplicate in FLEX2/AS3
I have tried various alternatives e.g
[BINDABLE]
public var myTest:Object - which gives me a no type declaration error
Placing the variable within the resulthandler gives an access of
undefined property error (predictably I suppose) in the mx:DataGrid
The data is coming across OK because if I alternatively do
mx:ArrayCollection id=gridResult
source={mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(ContactService.getPlayers.result)}
/
I can populate fine
And also putting breakpoints in the resulthandler I get debug results
e.g
result=[](0x6c5c746)
[0] Object

Re: [flexcoders] Yahoo Maps Example
Thanks Jester!
It's obvious of course as has been said that Flash
Player is used for presentation of Flex -- still the
SWC as you say and I agree, is a big mistake as it can
cause shock :-/
Besides this mistake though, seems Yahoo is starting
to get it's act together in working with developers;
i'm sure to compete with Google.
I really see huge things for Web Services and Flex in
the next 1-3 yearswith the smooth performance of
Flash 8 Video, I just have to believe it's possible to
do one-up on DirectX and create a unifying OSX WINXP
3D model that is xml tag based in description of
object, environments, etc. If this issue is somewhere
in there, the sky's the limit (as long as the
corp.anality stays out; but w/ the nice change in
reasonable deployment model for Flex2 I see good
things only).
--- JesterXL [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
For those who want to see a quick example, you can
download the SWC
(stupidly called Shockave control on the site,
that's where the confusion

Re: [flexcoders] Yahoo Maps built with Flex!
It's called web content writers that know diddly squat about what they are writing. SWC is like a Java JAR file; it contains code and assets applicable to a control. The Flex SWC is just the packaged component; a zip file with the component in a SWF + code defintion files used for compiling + catalog XML file + icon file + all other assets. The Flex framework is demployed in an .swc file as well. I can either give you a bunch of folders full of code that you must compile, or I can give you 1 swc file that's already compiled, with the flexibility of it compiling into your app. - Original Message - From: Robert Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 9:47 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Yahoo Maps built with Flex!

Re: [flexcoders] Yahoo Maps Example
Keep in mind, Yahoo! is one of the few large companies that publicly hosts a
crossdomain.xml file to allow Flash developers to access their webservice
API's. Flex doesn't really need this if you use the server as a proxy, but
they have a plethora of API's they have been pushing for awhile.
However, it really makes developers take you seriously when you deploy
applications that utilize some of those very services you are offering.

RE: [flexcoders] To code-behind or not to code-behind?
So what's the best practices for this process of seperating the MXML and AS? I'm just getting up to speed with Cairngorm so I figure it would be good to get into the right habits now. I would like to note, however, that one can go into a resursive perceived optimization extrme with just about any model, until the effort at not ever repeating anything actually becomes a burden in itself...so I don't believe there is a purest/extremist view that should be applied to any model. There's a threshold of waiting in the wings while designing where it just becomes the right time to seperate into an abstractino; granted, I realize code-behind isn't necessarily exactly like an actual pure design (but then again after 3 years of ASP.Net I realize how overkill it can be and I'm finding much more comfort in Java designs; webservices). I've did an IBuySpy store and found after considering it's implementation after 2 years to be just outright un-elegant. C#.Net and VB.Net is more elegant as far as what .Net can really do...and Web Services is really the best target for that and I find MXML consumes them quite well thank you. The way I see it, the majority of the future is Web Services WDSL and Flex Presentation Tier (long term even as long as there is a 3D modelling project for the future of Flash). -r --- Matt Horn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Guilty. The examples in the Flex documentation usually mix AS and MXML... but we do this mostly for readability.

Gidday everyone, Years back, I wrote php scripts with code embedded in the html and it led to maintenance hassles. Since then, I've migrated to Java and now .NET and what I liked about their models was the ability to separate the code into code-behind, something done quite elegantly in ASP.NET. These eliminated a lot of the maintenance problems I'd encountered earlier with PHP. So when I saw macromedia's examples of mxml with mx:Script.../mx:Script blocks embedded directly into the mxml, I immediately searched for a way to avoid this. I found that i could add a source=.. attribute to the mx:Script element and the AS code would be included by the compiler from an external file at compile time. The IDE was even smart enough that any elements I'd defined with id attributes in the mxml showed up with intellisense in the included AS file (I am using Flex Builder 2, not sure if FB1.5 had that feature or not). But now I'm having second thoughts. It kinda feels like going against the grain. I don't want to carry old biases into a new paradigm unnecessarily. I read an article by Aral Balkan (of ARP fame) endorsing the code-behind approach quite strongly, but by the same token, all sample apps from the Cairngorm team freely mix mxml and AS code, as do examples from macromedia themselves. I note though, that the Cairngorm framework itself is all pure AS; it is only the sample apps that use inline actionscript. I can't seem to find a best practice anywhere, because for every framework/example/article I find that seems to hint at one way of doing things, I find another one that suggests the opposite! Has anyone else with more Flex experience than me answered this question, particularly in terms of which approach is easier to maintain? At this stage, any hints would be appreciated!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 1.5 - n checkboxes
No, my requirements are simple. An Edit User panel with checkboxes for all the roles the user has.
I have the check boxes rendering as follows
mx:Repeater id=rolesList dataProvider={allroles}
mx:CheckBox id=role label={rolesList.currentItem}
selected={user.hasRole(rolesList.currentItem)} /
/mx:Repeater
Now, I need to submit the form, and call user.setRoles() with an array
of the the checked roles. Right now there roles are just strings, but
they should probably be Role objects.
Presumably I will need a submit handler that iterates over the
checkboxes looking at their selected state and building the array of
checked ones. I don't know how to do that yet, but I'm sure I can
figure it out.
It would be nifty if there was a more automatic way to do this.
Thanks,

Hi Richard,
I recently completed a project in which we had to dynamically build
form selection elements based on different control types (eg.
checkboxes, radio buttons, etc...). The data model we worked with
provided us with the string name of the control type to use, and the
appropriate data structure to populate the control type(s). Solution
I came up with was to (as you mention you might have to do) create the
form elements using actionscript, more specifically the createChild
method. I created a custom instance of each control type, and added
some additional properties to it, the most important being the data
property it needed to affect. Inside the custom control, I had my
change event directly modify the data property that was passed in.
Because the reference was passed in, this essentially bound that
change to the data model it came from. Problem solved.
Your requirements may be slightly different as it sounds like you
already know what type of control you need to render. In this case, I
would imagine you could use a repeater tag and have it's children be
the custom check box you're creating, and pass in the object
property reference that needs to be changed.
Hope this helps you...

RE: [flexcoders] To code-behind or not to code-behind?
Title: Message Jules: Quoting from Steve and Alistair's Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex book (p.57): "Developers should generally avoid inline ActionScript where possible; instead, they should refactor code into external classes imported at compile-time." While prototyping, and perhaps for small, exceptional cases, in-line AS is probably a reasonable approach, however the "rule" expressed above certainly creates a more easily managed configuration within a production environment. Hope this helps.

Gidday everyone, Years back, I wrote php scripts with code embedded in the html and it led to maintenance hassles. Since then, I've migrated to Java and now .NET and what I liked about their models was the ability to separate the code into "code-behind", something done quite elegantly in ASP.NET. These eliminated a lot of the maintenance problems I'd encountered earlier with PHP. So when I saw macromedia's examples of mxml with mx:Script.../mx:Script blocks embedded directly into the mxml,I immediately searched for a way to avoid this. I found that i could add a source=".." attribute to the mx:Script element and the AS code would be included by the compiler from an external file at compile time. The IDE was even smart enough that any elements I'd defined with id attributes in the mxml showed up with intellisense in the included AS file (I am using Flex Builder 2, not sure if FB1.5 had that feature or not). But now I'm having second thoughts. It kinda feels like going against thegrain. I don't want to carry old biases into a new paradigm unnecessarily. I read an article by Aral Balkan (of ARP fame) endorsing the code-behind approach quite strongly, but by the same token, all sample apps from the Cairngorm team freely mix mxml and AS code, as do examples from macromedia themselves. I note though, that the Cairngorm framework itself is all pure AS; it is only the sample apps that use inline actionscript. I can't seem to find a best practice anywhere, because for every framework/example/article I find that seems to hint at one way of doing things, I find another one that suggests the opposite! Has anyone else with more Flex experience than me answered this question, particularly in terms of which approach is easier to maintain? At this stage, any hintswould be appreciated!

Just guessing, but your DataVO doesn't extend

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Newbie Question: Drag-And-Drop between two Flex-SWF files
Ya I thought so... technically no it isn't wrong it's just not what flex was meant for. Instead of writing multiple small flex SWF pages you'd write one user interface in flex and use ActionScript to control the interaction on the client. There areso many advantages of doing it this way over your traditional JSP/HTML application I really wouldn't know where to start. (client side caching... zero post backs... drag and drop... drawing... ). Flex is a beautiful framework to write web apps in and based on what you've said your leveraging very few of what flex has to offer. I would SERIOUSLY consider re-architecting your application. The data interaction you've already written can still be used with flex through remote objects and unless you have an incredibly large JSP app I'm willing to bet recoding it in mxml would be very painless.

RE: [flexcoders] Code-only Flex apps
The more you can factor out into mxml, the better (I've found). But we have a VERY dynamic presentation, including a dynamically generate graph (vertex/edge kinda graph)...along with a tabnavigator that has an arbitrary # of tabs, and within those tabs are controls that may or may not appear...etc, etc. So AS coding is inevitable if you want your app to be VERY dynamic. But @ the same time, when I can manage to label something as static, then I'll try to make an MXML component because it's quicker and it's easier to manage the layout.

[flexcoders] Video and Breeze
Maybe I'm just I have ADD or something, but I swear I learn from video tutorials and breeze presentations so much faster than spending time on a book. The only reason I'm posting this is that I got my quick start with Sho's video (and the other guy:) and since then it's gone expoential. I would encourage Macr to not only keep doing this, but I'd even pay for a DVD for Alpha 2 and/or Beta tutorials (not that that's needed but just explaining the point). Done right, these can even be updated and managed better than largely distributed books. Seems like very piece of software I have from 3D animation to Music Production and apps. have DVDs or some type of video tutorial and it take about 1/3 the time of thumbing through poor dead trees (though it is nice to sit down to a quiet room with coffee to a book once in a while; but video is far better for 90% of the case). -r __ Yahoo!

RE: [flexcoders] To code-behind or not to code-behind?
Title: Message Damon et al, I'd rather consider that the "official line" be one of "apply your own pragmatism". Rather than enforce a rule, understand exactly what you're trying to achieve ... for me, that's maintainability and clarity of code, rather than any purist ideal. Separation of content and code can be taken on many levels; on an extreme level it would suggest "thou shalt not put code into MXML ever". However, if that then means that a piece of obvious code -like say a method that clears the text in an input field and broadcasts an event - is scurried away into an external file, then have you improved the clarity of your code (ie can someone read it and understand it as easily) ? Or have you introduced abstraction that in turn introduces an opportunity for confusion. When something becomes it's extreme, it becomes it's opposite -- so if people invest TOO much time and effort into code behind classes, helper classes, etc, then all of a sudden the very thing they're trying to achieve, clarity, is lost within complexity. I'd advocate that really what we're doing is performing the age-old refactorings of "Extract Method" and "Extract Class". We'll start by putting things inline in event handlers, eg click="...code here", then we'll extract method to get click="callMyMethod()" where callMyMethod() resides on the MXML inline, because it is encapsulated there. Finally, we'll find we have a bunch of methods, or we have methods that don't deserve to be encapsulated by the MXML Class, and so we'll factor them out into additional classes, like ShoppingCarts, APRCalculators, etc, etc. I think if you apply that pragmatism to when to extract things into other classes, and apply that pragmatism with some understanding of how to build object-based systems with the correct attention to cohesion and decoupling, then the clarity will take care of itself. If you just blindly follow some rules that some idiot wrote in a book ;) without some thought behind where that rule may or not make sense, then you're never going to be happy that you've got it right. For me, I care about code clarity more than anything else ... can someone else sit down at your code, and quickly find their way around it because it is logically organised? If they can do that, then you have expressed your design intent through code that both machine and human can understand. All else follows that. Apologies if any of the above sounds like teaching you to suck eggs. I neither think there's a right answer here, nor do I feel so strongly about this that I'm wishing to enter into big long spirited debate on it. Whatever other people say is right too. :) Best, Steven -- Steven Webster Practice Director (Rich Internet Applications) Macromedia Consulting EMEA Office: + 44 (0) 131 338 6108 Mobile: +44 (0) 7917 428 947 From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Damon E.

Re: [flexcoders] Video and Breeze
Same here. Sho's video gave me a jump start as well and I too would pay for content. At work, we have subscriptions to VTC and Lynda.com and they are a fully integrated part of keeping everyone involved up to date - much faster than by buying a book (although I do like the feeling of anticipation after ordering a book and tracking it ..;). Kai Robert Thompson wrote: Maybe I'm just I have ADD or something, but I swear I learn from video tutorials and breeze presentations so much faster than spending time on a book. The only reason I'm posting this is that I got my quick start with Sho's video (and the other guy:) and since then it's gone expoential. I would encourage Macr to not only keep doing this, but I'd even pay for a DVD for Alpha 2 and/or Beta tutorials (not that that's needed but just explaining the point). Done right, these can even be updated and managed better than largely distributed books.

Douglas, Got me thinking thoughin OOP terms just what is a helper object? I don't recall seeing these in say Java, or maybe they have a different name. View Helper was one of the Core J2EE Patterns, that would most usually have been implemented as a custom-tag in JSP. It's nothing magical, just a pattern to be aware you can refactor towards. Sometimes patterns make the simple sound magical. But the View Helper ain't that. It's simple.

I would encourage you, however, to have a content writer fully evaluate the

coincide with how it should be portrayed.

the SWC (stupidly called Shockave control on the site, that's
where the confusion came in), and use this code. Keep in

Yeah, I understand the ViewHelper. The more generic 'helper object' though I have not heard of. So, View Helper is a helper obejct. So, say I have a Front Controller object that needs some 'help', would I apply a Front Controller Helper object? Obvioulsy this depends on the problem to solve, abstractly though is this idea sound?

Re: [flexcoders] Dual core license policy
I disagree... for all interpretations of thedefinitionat wikipediait results in the same conclusion... a dual-core cpu is 2 cpu's/processors. That's the point. A mobo with one dual core processor uses almost the same power as a mobo with 2 separate processors. All they managed to do was squeeze 2 cpu's on one die. It's 2 cpu's.

Re: [flexcoders] Force binding for Arrays
You don't need to do that; Array's in Flex already have the DataProvider API (in 1.5), and thus generate events. So, if you are changing an index, ensure you do: my_array.addItem(someItem) Instead of: my_array.push(someItem) If you do the addItem, it'll trigger the event, and update whatever controls is bound to the array. Only reset the array entirely if the whole array changes. - Original Message - From: superabe superabe To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 11:11 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Force binding for Arrays I realize that we can force binding for Arrays to occur, when modifying one of their indexes by doing something like Model.myList = Model.myList Is there any performance reasons or other reasons why this would be a bad idea to use?

[flexcoders] Re: Problem dynamically creating text controls
Matt,
Thanks for the semi-useful suggestion ;)
Tried to set creationPolicy=all on the view stack and it has the
same behavior. For kicks, I also tried moving the call to
initLayout to the creationComplete event on the second VBox, this
did not help either. Any other ideas?

We have an application where we are dynamically creating various

in a non-visible layer of the viewstack, the height of the control

Re: [flexcoders] Gaps between list items
Hey Matt, thanks for the reply.
I tried changing the canvas to a VBox and also adding the verticalGap
and leading properties to the VBox but it's not not placing a gap in
between the items. Do you have any other ideas or suggestions? I would
like a little gap between the cells. I even tried putting a spacer
after the text object in the VBox, nada..
Thanks again..

[flexcoders] Flex 2:CFC can't seem to return the same type
I have a date field that gets returned to Flex2 from a CFC. Thing is when there is a date in it, it returns a date. When there is no date in it, it returns a empty string. Flex is having indigestion as the Flex variable is of date type. So when a date is returned, its happy, when a empty string is returned, it complains about coersion failure from string to date. If this were a different language I would use something like IsDate, but the closest thing to it seems to be the DateValidator which, atleast as presented in the documentation, seems more complex then what I really need. Is there a function in Flex 2 that will accept a date or a empty string and will return ether a valid date or an empty date? Or is there a better way to pass the date from the CFC so even when its flex still sees it as a date type? Thanks Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Fair play? Video games influencing politics.

RE: helper object? what's that? (was Re: [flexcoders] To code-behind or not to code-behind?)
See my previous reply for a concrete example. I just meant an extra object that encapsulates a well defined piece of functionality, aggregated into your application. I wasn't alluding to any particular GoF-blessed pattern, but if you really need to get pedantic, the application is probably best described as using the bridge pattern. Helpers can be anything from flyweights to factories. I personally consider it bad mojo to have the application's implementation details exposed, so I abstract out pieces of functionality through interfaces, build helper classes that implement those interfaces, and only pass the interfaces around. This is a bit of leftover habit from keeping gigantic C++ apps from turning into dependency hairballs. An additional benefit is that you can then move those reusable bits off into RSLs, decoupling development. If you only change implementation code but keep the interface constant, you don't need to recompile clients of the interface.

RE: helper object? what's that? (was Re: [flexcoders] To code-behind or not to code-behind?)
OK, we're analysing this to a level it was never meant to be analysed at. The ViewHelper is a name borrowed from the Core J2EE Pattern catalogue. As far as I'm aware, it's just a name, it's not a more generic or specific form of another pattern, it's just an observation that sometimes it makes sense to take functionality out of a big thing, and stick it in a smaller thing. If you abstract functionality out of a Front Controller and stick it in a class that you think helps it; give it a name that makes sense ? There are no pattern gods that will strike you down for not calling it a Front Controller Helper. Code communicates intent. So whatever you intend, communicate it.

RE: helper object? what's that? (was Re: [flexcoders] To code-behind or not to code-
Dave,
If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Too much of anything is a bad thing, and people who just blindly and
unobjectively turn everything into a pattern, focus so much on
shoehorning a solution, they don't stop to think what the problem is
they're trying to solve in the first place.
However, with the appropriate and prerequisite knowledge that was behind
the design pattern movement, they are a useful abstraction for software
engineers to apply to address complexity (not introduce it) and increase
code clarity (not obfuscate it) in a team environment.
Blame the player, don't blame the game.

Thanks!
That removed the compile error.
I still get thecompile warning
- 'Unable to detect changes to "_sample_ac".' and the binding I have set up won't update
unless I manually capture the event and update the controls' text property
myself.
I was under the inpression that Flex would watch for
changes and update the binding chain if the getters/setters were set up as in
the code below.
Thanks again!

RE: helper object? what's that? (was Re: [flexcoders] To code-behind or not to code-behind?)
OK, we're analysing this to a level it was never meant to be analysed at. This often seems to happen, though. I find design patterns to be incredibly useful for attaching names to common code constructs (both for describing how something was implemented or how it could/should be implemented) but I find them unhelpful whenever they're wedged into a context where the potential user of the pattern hasn't previously worked on the problem and personally experienced the pain of coding themselves into a corner. They get locked up in a terror that they aren't following the pattern to the letter, and freak out when the pattern isn't a 100% match for what they're trying to do. I once saw some code that had a class factory that produced class factories, for no reason other than they didn't dare put two factory methods on the same object, because the pattern didn't say that was ok. To bring it back to an area near and dear to my heart, its like explaining lanesplitting techniques to a motorcyclist who lives in a rural area with no traffic. Sure, there are lots of best practices and potential gotchas and what-to-do-when, but they're only interesting from a theoretical perspective if you're never in that situation. However, they'll make a lot more sense -after- a cell-phone-babbling soccer mom in a Maibatsu Monstrosity suddenly realizes she needs to exit soon and cuts you off, forcing you to threshold brake, release, swerve a full lanes-width in front of a bus to the next gap between lanes, and then accelerate so hard you pull a small wheelie off a rain-slicked Bott's Dot while still leaned over, three cylinders of bottled impatience howling as you feed 120hp to the ground via a sticky rubber contact patch the size of a deck of cards[1] (Ah, Lanesplitting Pattern #4, on- and off-ramps are like tributaries in the traffic stream, they cause turbulence...) -rg [1] Part of my employment agreement is that I must checkpoint my code into source control a bit more frequently than my sane coworkers.

[flexcoders] Licensing and dev server compilation
Hello all, We have a client who has a Flex license for their server. We only wish for the compiled SWF to be deployed on their server, so they dont have access to the MXML / AS source files. My question is: is there a way to compile our application on either a) our unlicensed development server or b) a development server using their license code (so there would at some times be multiple servers running the same license)? We are trying to avoid uploading source to their server for compilation.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Code-only Flex apps
Revisit this after you develop in Flex for about 2 months...you might find that you made life harder on yourself or that you are having a harder time making modifications. On the flipside, maybe you'll disagree with that entirely. The bottomline is that if you look @ Flex as a technology, as opposed to a language, it won't really matter to the developer whether he/she writes mxml or as. Both approaches represent the same thing in different ways. Would you want to write a complete native application's UI in C++? Or would you like to create the forms with the GUI builder IDE and then interface with those UI objects in C++? MXML vs. AS isn't EXACTLY the same as the example just given, but it's in the same ballpark. Again, do it your way and then revisit. I know I started with no MXML, and changed pretty quickly, but that's me!

Thanks!
That removed the compile error.
I still get thecompile warning

unless I manually capture the event and update the controls' text property
myself.
I was under the inpression that Flex would watch for
changes and update the binding chain if the getters/setters were set up as in
the code below.

Just guessing, but your DataVO doesn't extend

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Code-only Flex apps
Hola Daniel, My advice is to use MXML for UI and Layout whenever possible. as jesse suggests.. try and give it a ride, even if you are comfortable with pure as coding as of today... here are some of the reasons off the top of my head: - MXML clearly represents the hierarchy of the components being defined this makes it easier to imagine the layout while reading/writing the code makes it easier (for you or other developer ) to locate a given component after you've seen it's position on the rendered application. makes it easy to cut and paste a portion of the UI when changing the layout - doing this ( using MXML for UI and layout ) creates an implicit organization within your code. consider that it might be read by some other developer... he will most probably start looking for a component in the MXML and, only if he doesn't find it explicitly declared there, he would move the the AS code in look for a dynamic instantiation. this second case is likely to be harder, as he wouldn't really know where to start looking within the ascript. - MXML creates less verbose code ( less lines ). and less is always better when you find yourself revisiting an old app after some time. blabla... best, aldo On 11/3/05, Mink, Joseph [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Revisit this after you develop in Flex for about 2 months...you might find that you made life harder on yourself or that you are having a harder time making modifications. On the flipside, maybe you'll disagree with that entirely. The bottomline is that if you look @ Flex as a technology, as opposed to a language, it won't really matter to the developer whether he/she writes mxml or as. Both approaches represent the same thing in different ways. Would you want to write a complete native application's UI in C++? Or would you like to create the forms with the GUI builder IDE and then interface with those UI objects in C++? MXML vs. AS isn't EXACTLY the same as the example just given, but it's in the same ballpark. Again, do it your way and then revisit. I know I started with no MXML, and changed pretty quickly, but that's me!

I can understand the need for MXML, maybe one of the main reasons is to make easier/faster development for people that might not have a strong coding background, which increases the user base.

Hi list, I know it might be too soon to ask this, but I know many of us are having this same questions. There are some dates I would like to figure out: - when will it be possible to start developing with Flex2 my bet: depends on what you need. personally I will wait for the data services. - when will it be smart to launch an intranet application with Flex2 my bet: right after the first FP8.5 final release or Flex2 final release, whichever happens first. you can control the easily control the player version as they are all internal users. - when will it be smart to launch an internet application with Flex2 my bet: when FP8.5 reaches considerable penetratrion. Anyone would like to comment on this?? The thing is that I have two projects that will start in one or two months and I need to figure out which Flex version will be used ASAP ( the version has some incidence on the functionality we can promess to the customer among other issues ). personally, I would love to start developing with Flex2 ASAP, specially for the intranet project. BTW; any chance macromedia might speed up the release of the FP8.5 so we can start growing on penetration right away?? thanks, aldo. -- : Aldo Bucchi : mobile (56) 8 429 8300 Yahoo!

Re: RES: [flexcoders] Flex 2:CFC can't seem to return the same type
Nope, haven't tried that yet.
Basicaly what I did to get it to work is to make all my variables in
Flex2 be strings. Then when I assign the value returned from the
CFC, if its a date or number being returned I use String() which will
convert the number or date to a string representation.
mx:DateFormatter id=StdDateFormat/
mx:CurrenctFormatter id=StdMoneyFormat precision=2/
[Bindable]
public var date_dp:String = new String();
[Bindable]
public var total_dp:String = new String();
date_dp = String(result[0].DATE);
total_dp = String(result[0].TOTAL);
Then in the binding I use a currency formater and a date formater
which seem to take strings or number/dates as acceptable input and
output correctly.
mx:Label text={StdDateFormat.format(date_dp)}/
mx:Label text={StdMoneyFormat.format(total_dp)}/

Greg,
I'm not sure, but I think that in AS 3.0 you can't assign an empty

a Date Object. It's stronglly typed. As well you can't assigns na
empty
string to a Numeric variable. You must return 0 or -1 to a numeric
variable.
I guess that's the problem.
As you're using Flex2 and ColdFusion, have you tested using session
variables? It's not working for me and I don't know why. I tested
the same

Assunto: [flexcoders] Flex 2:CFC can't seem to return the same type
I have a date field that gets returned to Flex2 from a CFC. Thing
is when
there is a date in it, it returns a date. When there is no date in
it, it
returns a empty string.
Flex is having indigestion as the Flex variable is of date type.
So when a
date is returned, its happy, when a empty string is returned, it
complains
about coersion failure from string to date.
If this were a different language I would use something like
IsDate, but the
closest thing to it seems to be the DateValidator which, atleast as
presented in the documentation, seems more complex then what I
really need.
Is there a function in Flex 2 that will accept a date or a empty
string and
will return ether a valid date or an empty date? Or is there a
better way
to pass the date from the CFC so even when its flex still sees
it as a
date type?
Thanks

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Forcing Recompile in production mode
Thanks for the answer Dave. I guess the next question is, Do the changes show up after a time period? If so, how do I find out what the time is.

Great thanks a lot

Still looking for the framework component source ... any
one?
Thanks,

There are options in the project settings
to allow you to add compiler arguments, but in the public alpha it doesn't work
correctly. The only way I know of to get it to generate the .as files is
to use the command line compiler - mxmlc.exeThat lives in the "Flex
Framework 2 Alpha\bin" directory which I think is automatically added under the
Flex Builder install if you use the standalone install. Once you've
found it, you can compile a file using the following from the command
line:mxmlc -keep

Hi all,
Anyone know where/if we can get our hands on the
component source for the Flex2 Alpha?
Also, there's a directory underneath my FB2 project
tree called "generated" but it always seems empty! Is therea way to
inspect the generated as3 code in Flex2 projects? Just for interests sake more
than anything else...

[flexcoders] Flex2: pricing info
Hola, Where can I find pricing info?? I have to defend flex against some cheaper ajax frameworks. For this matter, I believe the serverless deployment model is the feature to highlight... any serverless flex apps TCO approximations? -- : Aldo Bucchi : mobile (56) 8 429 8300 Yahoo!
