Subject: [flexcoders] Re: downloading fonts dynamically


Roger, thanks for the suggestions.  Yes, I had found and been playing 
with the embedded font list used by by the Flex UI controls; and I've 
also been using the lower level TextField API's directly. So far, I've 
had no luck at all in getting dynamically loaded fonts to be 
recognized.

You said:
 Fonts in RSLs are available to the application because 
 they are loaded to the same application domain as the app 
 itself. Fonts in child application domains are (probably? 
 I should check this...) not accessible to the application.

This is certainly consistent with everything I've found 
experiementally with Flex 1.5.   And in Flex 2.0 alpha I'm stopped by 
the following error when trying to load a child SWF, if it has an 
embedded font in it:

TypeError: Error #1009: null has no properties.
  at mx.managers::SystemManager/set fontList()
  at _LoadChild_FlexInit$/init()
  at mx.managers::SystemManager/SystemManager$71
$private::handleFrameEnd()

I'm assuming this is a bug that will eventually be fixed, but what 
will the final behavior be?  Will the same issue I'm seeing in Flex 
1.5 -- fonts in child application domains are not accessible to the 
application --remain in Flex 2.0?  And if so, is there any work-around?

[flexcoders] Re: Scrollbar placement

2005-11-17 Thread Andy
Hi,

Have you tried placing the form inside a box? That way when the form 
is too large for the box its in it should scroll by default. Without 
mocking up your problem yet that would be my first attempt at it.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm is bad?

2005-11-17 Thread Mykola Paliyenko



Omar
This is exactly what I mean you just have to learn how to refactor and not getting panic when you need it.
Actually I'm not agree with Anatole that Refactoring of Flex 
applications is no fun refactoring is always fun and without is you will finally produce crappy software.
Another thing I will never agree that model cant be static. Static is
always bad, in 90% cases you will have to refactor it if you have a big
application. To explane why static is bad lets see the simple example.
you have a list of the order items and you want to implement viewing
item content in the popup window (not modal). How will you do it when
your model is static? when you open two popups they both will contain
the same model. That is the problem. 
I do not see great difference between developing desktop applications
and RIAs but as far as I aware in desktop applications model is never
static (Eclipse and lots of other examples and recomendations). Sure
for helloworld you can make is static but don't be surprised when you
faced the problem while your application growth.

Hi guys,

Why not use the apropiate use when the situation merits it. If in
your application you have a component that doesn't share it's model
with the rest of the application then make it self contained and use
the Delegates directly. If in the future you need to use it's model in
other view's then just refactor it into a command. Please correct me if
am wrong.

I found
the IIS setup appauling if Im honest. The fact weve spent such a
large amount of money on the app, yet the IIS connector appears
to be unreliable is just not on. With a mixture of fiddling and luck we got it
working for the majority of the time, just not 100% of the time, especially if
a user is using IE and refreshes. Unless its 100% it just cannot go
live.



If

I have come across this in my own

Here is a post from the MACR forum
about the lc_id

http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=346threadid=1056843

If you search the forums
(particularly the CF one) there are more threads.



I can't guarantee the info is 100%
so if anyone has more on the subject lets hear it.



Steve, how did you go with the IIS
setup at large? At the time I was doing mine I had enormous trouble (and indeed
couldn't) get it to what I considered a production level. See thread below.

If anyone has any good articles on

Guys  Girls,

Seem to be having an odd problem with getting and keeping a
Jrun server stable.

The Jrun server is installed, flex installed on it and IIS is connected. Now this works fine (took a while to get it working, but its now working right). However when uploading changes to the app, sometimes the page will hang. Whats strange is we also get a _javascript_ error when this happens. The html source is published to the page but no swf is then viewable. The _javascript_ error says the following variable is underfined: lc_id .Looking at the source code the following line is obviously pulling in some _javascript_:script language='_javascript_' charset='utf-8' src='/Symph/flex-internal?action="">/scriptNow the _javascript_ error Im getting suggests this file is not loaded.Has anyone come across the situation where jrun stops serving pages? Restarting it twice seems to wake it back up.TaSteve

Thanks Matt, 

I had created a cross domain policy file and that did work. Yeah,
I must have been thinking allowDomain backwards. It worked in Flash 8,
that is what got me confused.

 If you access your SWF from

filesystem you also won't get the error.

I get you on that, but I was just trying to debug in Flex Builder wit the debug button and using FireFox.

[flexcoders] Accordion Header Icons - Changing during runtime

2005-11-17 Thread Niklas Richardson
Hi all,

I have hunted high and low for an answer to this and I've played
around with accordion.getHeaderAt(), getChildAt(), but to no avail.

Basically, I want to change the icon for a specific accordion header
depending on a certain state of that child.

There doesn't seem to be a way at runtime to change the icon.

Does anyone know a solution to this?

Thanks.  Your help is much appreciated.

You need to write a specific function to blank out all the controls.

If the controls are bound to a model you could blank the model too.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Scrollbar placement

2005-11-17 Thread Sreejith Unnikrishnan






Run the example below. Click the small text button and large text
button to dynamically load small and large text dynamically.
The Vbox would automatically add scrollbars to accomodate the large
text.

The key is in adding the minWidth="0" and minHeight="0" in the VBox.
Hope this solves your problem!

Sree

Example:

?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?
mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"
 width="100%" height="100%" initialize="loadSmallText();"
 mx:Script
  ![CDATA[

 var smallText:String = "This is small text. Ideally should not need
a scrollbar"
 var largeText:String = "Old question, but did not find working
solutions. I have a structure in a tab navigator (see below) and I
would like to have the scrollbar (when needed) in a specific place. The
tab contains a HBox and a Form. HBox is of fixed size and place and
should always be visible - no scrollbar. The contents of the Form are
created dynamically and are of various sizes and formats. The Form
should have a scrollbar when needed. Now the scrollbar is always on
parent container, VBox, so that the fixed-place HBox scrolls as well."
 
 function loadSmallText() {
  textX.text = smallText;

 function loadLargeText() {

 mx:VBox width="100" height="200"
  mx:Text id="textX" /
 /mx:VBox
 mx:Button label="Small Text" click="loadSmallText();" /
 mx:Button label="Large Text" click="loadLargeText();" /
/mx:Application

Yes, tried it and it does not work.
Perhaps the problem comes from loading the form contents 
dynamically - the form does not know its size when it is initialized 
and so does not know it needs a scrollbar?

 Hi,
 
 Have you tried placing the form inside a box? That way when the 
form 
 is too large for the box its in it should scroll by default. 
Without 
 mocking up your problem yet that would be my first attempt at it.

Re: [flexcoders] form state

2005-11-17 Thread Sreejith Unnikrishnan






Reset does not necessarily mean "blanking out", if you are comparing
the HTML form.
It could also mean resetting to the values originally populated.

And that would mean storing the "original values" in an instance object
and then binding to it on reset.
I've tried this before and is sometimes labor intensive since you need
to write for each form. I have not found a generic solution yet.

Please post one if you break this. :-)

Jeff Tapper wrote:

Thanks Matt,

Hey I also have another wierd bug - I just dont have another machine 
to duplicate it on, so perhaps you can check on yours for me.

In FlexBuilder 2, on the first line of an MXML file:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

If you place your cursor right after the second question mark, and 
begin to type, everything you type comes out backwards.  It's 
intresting, and it's the only place I've been able to make it happen.

Am I crazy?

Hey Niklas,



Ive done this before. Im
accomplishing it with a custom class for the header, but if all you need is the
icon you should be able to use something like accd.getHeaderAt(0).icon = iconLinkage
Since AccordianHeader is a subclass of Button, it should work just fine.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm is bad?

2005-11-17 Thread Anatole Tartakovsky





Mykola,
 I just want to clarify the point 
I was making about the refactoring and non-heterogenic environment. There is a 
huge difference between RIA and desktop application. It is called "distributed 
non-heterogenic" application.Refactoring theback-end Java code will 
not cause compilation notifications of missing/changed fields/methods in UI - 
they have to be found via global search and (with larger apps)through 
testing - and can easily slip into production, especially if done in 
maintenance phase. The same applies to changes in UI - very easy to get out of 
synchronization with back-end.

 Here is simplier example for 
desktop application developers. Let us say you do changes to non-heterogenic 
piece of application - SQL table used by application - changing column names and 
datatypes. Compiler (unless it is integrated with pre-compiler/code generator) 
is not going to catch those and prompt you that your queries are no longer 
correct. You can start getting random errors based on overruns of the buffers 
due to field length, etc. 

 While programming is definetly 
fun, retesting large application after each change is definetly not. Writing 
test cases to anticipate future enhancements is not possible, adding ones along 
the change is not a reliable solution but rather desparate measure to plug the 
obvious hole.

 Iam aware of 2 approaches 
to reduce the impact of refactoring (while hopefully reducing coding as 
well):
1. usage of higher-level "model" objects 
encapsulating communications as well - i.e. "super" dataProviders that are aware 
of retrieval/update methods, maintain state, provide diagnostics andcan be 
submitted as a part of biggertransaction - just few features to be delt 
within any application. Such "models" can also greatly simplify coding of 
datagrids, forms and other databound controls
2. use code generators to be included as a part of 
"build" process. You can produce "proxy" objects that can facilitate strong type 
checking in either java of flex. They can improve performance of the software 
execution as "guesswork" is taken out of both client and flashgateway software. 
You can also generate UI resources so initial form painting is less time 
consuming.

Iuse both approaches - actually one on the 
top of the other - to reduce amount of "manual" code. That drives application 
into using high-level objects instead of framework - and I personally like 
it.

However I would say for one person who uses these 
approaches there are 10 people using frameworks. It come down to the project 
management - small teams of highly trained specialists vs uniformly trained in 
framework large development teams with predicatble (while long) development 
schedule/replaceable resources. If you foresee the lifecycle of the project to 
be completed via reducing the team toward the retaining the better technology 
peopleof the team and insuring the quality across the modules (and company 
budget allows for that) then the framework-less approach is the way to go. If 
you anticipate to retain maintenance crew of the least creative people that 
would prefer to do "spot" fixing then low-level code and framework might be 
better choice.

Here is very simple article on abstractions that is 
also applicable to refactoring:
http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/LeakyAbstractions.html
Towardthe end, there is Joel's estimate what 
using code generators or frameworks amounts to:

"The law of leaky abstractions means that whenever somebody comes up with a 
wizzy new code-generation tool that is supposed to make us all 
ever-so-efficient, you hear a lot of people saying "learn how to do it manually 
first, then use the wizzy tool to save time." Code generation tools which 
pretend to abstract out something, like all abstractions, leak, and the only way 
to deal with the leaks competently is to learn about how the abstractions work 
and what they are abstracting. So the abstractions save us time working, but 
they don't save us time learning.
And all this means that paradoxically, even as we have higher and higher 
level programming tools with better and better abstractions, becoming a 
proficient programmer is getting harder and harder."

Sincerely,
Anatole Tartakovsky

[flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?

2005-11-17 Thread Merrill, Jason










Im
a Flash IDE guy and have only produced simple apps with the Flexbuilder 2 Alpha
which use XML. Anyhoo, I have 2 questions. I have created a site
mockup of a Flex app in Photoshop for one of my clients. See it here:




http://cmt.icfconsulting.com/temp/navyHRPortal_2.jpg



Question
1: The client can only run Flash player 7, so knowing that and what I have
mocked up, would you look at the following screenshot and tell me if everthing
I am proposing in this graphic is possible in Flex 1.5 (obviously assuming we
will have easy access to the data etc.)  including embedding the graphics
and fonts in the tabs. I have played with Flexbuilder 2 and the 8.5 player, but
not Flex 1.5. 



Question 2:
I probably already know the answer, but can you run Flex 1.5 on a server in one
place (say here, on the development side), produce the necessary .swfs, and
then take the .swfs to another server that does not have the Flex server to
deploy the app? Or are the .swfs strictly built at runtime? Or are
there legal considerations for that? This isnt a requirement, but
it would be nice to only have to buy Flex 1.5 server here, and give our clients
the .swfs instead of telling them they need to also buy the Flex server to run
this. I am guessing though, that the Flex server and the Flex app have to
be on the same machine. Right? If so, I guess what are my options for
something *kinda* like this 
realistically  the Flash IDE or AJAX?
If Flash 8.5 were an option, I would hold out for Flexbuilder 2,
but its not with them since they can only run the Flash 7 player. 



Thanks,

[flexcoders] Re: downloading fonts dynamically

2005-11-17 Thread pkleppner
Thanks, but although the Darron Schall piece on embedding fonts in 
RSL's is related to this topic, it doesn't address my issue here, 
since the RSL's can't be selected at runtime (as far as I can tell).

I think the key here is the child and application SWF domains that 
Roger Gonzalez hinted at in his previous response, but I can't figure 
out exactly what the rules are, or how they might apply in Flex 2.0.

What 1.5 stuff does not work under the 8.5 player? Can the 8.5

RE: [flexcoders] fill ComboBox with XML received by RemoteObject

2005-11-17 Thread Tracy Spratt
Actually, I myself often just convert the xml into an array.  It is a bit more 
effort up front, but it simplifies usage.

On your DataGrid, that is what I meant when I said:
And unless your data and label properties are top-level attributes of the item 
nodes, you might need to use a label function:
http://www.cflex.net/showfiledetails.cfm?ObjectID=258

In your case, the column data is not in top level attributes but rather in 
child nodes.

All of the list controls are happiest with an array of Objects.  As you noticed 
childNodes provides an array, but you will need to specify each column and 
label function.

Or, convert this xml into an array of Objects and off you go.

Hi Tracy,

thanks for your answer. Unfortunately you skipped the really interesting part
how to reference the correct nodes/attributes in XML. At the moment I solved my
problem about the ComboBox by writing a method which extracts node values and
puts them into an array(), so this array can be bound directly to a
dataProvider of a ComboBox.

Now I have a very similar problem with a DataGrid. I have again XML in a string
( the framework I use delivers VO's as XML ) and I would like a DataGrid to
display my data. I defined a var vehicle =
XMLUtil.createXML(event.result).firstChild.childNodes; and this is the result,
if i bind vehicle to a TextArea;

If I bind vehicles to a dataProvider of a DataGrid it looks like at the picture
I attached.  At the moment I don't want to write a method for value extraction
again, because I'm a beginner in XML in Flash. Thats why I ask again if there
is some nice trick to convert the XML automatically to an object so it can be
bound directly to a dataProvider. If this is not possible, I would appreciate
for advice, how to get the XML value in the DataGrid.

Greetings

 The resultFormat for RemoteObject defaults to object.  Are you sure
 you do not already have an object in your result?

 Use a handler function and inspect the result object in a debugger.
 Often the issue with dataProviders is determining the exact reference
 pointing at the necessary array.  For instance, sometimes you need
 event.result[0].

 If you really have a string of xml, you could load it into an XML class
 object and use that as the dataProvider. Currently, referencing the
 correct nodes/attributes in XML is a bit clumsy, but I prefer it to the
 black-box conversion of xml to mx:Object that Flex does 

RE: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?

2005-11-17 Thread Philip Costa





Technically, you can deploy SWFs created with 1.5 on a 
server that is not running the Flex server. From a licensing standpoint, 
however, the client would have to buy a license to Flex for each CPU you deploy 
to. As you know, that is changing in Flex 2, but it's not 
retroactive.

Im a 
Flash IDE guy and have only produced simple apps with the Flexbuilder 2 Alpha 
which use XML. Anyhoo, I have 2 questions. I have created a site 
mockup of a Flex app in Photoshop for one of my clients. See it 
here: 

http://cmt.icfconsulting.com/temp/navyHRPortal_2.jpg

Question 
1: The client can only run Flash player 7, so knowing that and what I have 
mocked up, would you look at the following screenshot and tell me if everthing I 
am proposing in this graphic is possible in Flex 1.5 (obviously assuming we will 
have easy access to the data etc.)  including embedding the graphics and fonts 
in the tabs. I have played with Flexbuilder 2 and the 8.5 player, but not Flex 
1.5. 

Question 
2: I probably already know the answer, but can you run Flex 1.5 on a 
server in one place (say here, on the development side), produce the necessary 
.swfs, and then take the .swfs to another server that does not have the Flex 
server to deploy the app? Or are the .swfs strictly built at 
runtime? Or are there legal considerations for that? This isnt a 
requirement, but it would be nice to only have to buy Flex 1.5 server here, and 
give our clients the .swfs instead of telling them they need to also buy the 
Flex server to run this. I am guessing though, that the Flex server and 
the Flex app have to be on the same machine. Right? If so, I guess what 
are my options for something *kinda* like this  realistically  the 
Flash IDE or AJAX? If Flash 8.5 were an 
option, I would hold out for Flexbuilder 2, but its not with them since they 
can only run the Flash 7 player.

Re: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?

Jason, in reference to the design you might want to look at moving the icons inside of the button. This would replace print with the printer icon so your buttons will read [icon] summary and [icon] article or maybe nix article all together and just have the printer icon. The same goes for the add/remove.

RE: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?

2005-11-17 Thread Merrill, Jason










So, if I
had my client buy one license of Flex, they could do that, and not have to
install it  and I could send them my .swf files I create with my license,
and all is honky dory? So, no technical issues  just license agreement
issues, correct? Assuming the licensing is worked out, its then just a matter
of moving the resulting .swf files, right?

Technically, you can deploy SWFs created
with 1.5 on a server that is not running the Flex server. From a licensing
standpoint, however, the client would have to buy a license to Flex for each
CPU you deploy to. As you know, that is changing in Flex 2, but it's not
retroactive.

[flexcoders] Re: My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?

2005-11-17 Thread Renaun Erickson
There are technical issues with just deploying generated SWF's.  But
it depends on the features you use in Flex Server.  Like the Proxy
server, named Remoting services, and/or security configurations.

You can still do everything in flash so its by-passable, but just be
aware there are considerations you have to make with not using the
Flex Server.

I found an example online that allows you to filter a datagrid by 
typing values into a text field.  The problem i can only get it to 
work with xml not with a remote object.


XML

var name = employeeModel.employee[i].name;





REMOTE OBJECT

how could I write something like this so I could get the data of one 
column  of the remote object data for the column name?



mx:RemoteObject id=employeeModel fault=mx.controls.Alert.show
(event.fault.faultstring, 'Error') 

source=getData  endpoint=@ContextRoot()/flashservices/gateway 
showBusyCursor=true

mx:method name=getEmployees/

/mx:RemoteObject



for(var i = 0; i  employeeModel.getEmployees.result.length; i++ ){

var name = employeeRO.getEmployees.result[i].name;



mx.controls.Alert.show(name);

}

1. Yep.

2. As Tracy  Phillip have said, nope, it's 
against the EULA to have a Flex generated SWF not on the same box that has the 
Flex server installed.

Additionally, you could do all of that in Flash, 
but I wouldn't code it. AJAX? Sure, but HTML blows.

I can't answer the licensing questions, but I would 
question what the future of this app is. I know this is hard without fully 
knowing what Enterprise Services 2 have to offer, but based on what you know, 
could you post-pone the project until Flex Builder 2 comes out? The price 
difference could be key in some situations.. that is, unless you really see a 
need for Enterprise Services (which again is tough without having full 
disclosure on their features).

RE: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?

2005-11-17 Thread Merrill, Jason










Well,
unfortunately, this client (the U.S. Navy) has a gold disk (NMCI)
of approved players. The Flash player 7 is approved, but it would be a very
very long time before the 8.5 player is put on the gold disk. The rate of
acceptance of players is far beyond the timeline for this project. So, no,
Flexbuilder 2 wont be a viable option unless when it comes out it can
magically export to Flash 7. 



So, I *could* recommend they buy Flex 1.5 server,
and I also buy it as a developer, and then deploy to one of there servers
(which would not be running Flex, but would have a license)



Right?

In FlexBuilder 2, on the first line of an MXML

If you place your cursor right after the second

the design you might want to look at moving the icons inside of the button.
This would replace print with the printer icon so your buttons will
read [icon] summary and [icon] article or maybe nix
article all together and just have the printer icon. The same goes
for the add/remove. 

Not sure if you were looking for critiques or not. Hope it helps...

you run Flex 1.5 on a server in one place (say here, on the development side),
produce the necessary .swfs, and then take the .swfs to another server that
does not have the Flex server to deploy the app? Or are the .swfs
strictly built at runtime? Or are there legal considerations for
that? This isn't a requirement, but it would be nice to only have to buy
Flex 1.5 server here, and give our clients the .swfs instead of telling them
they need to also buy the Flex server to run this. I am guessing though,
that the Flex server and the Flex app have to be on the same machine.
Right? If so, I guess what are my options for something *kinda* like this  realistically  the
Flash IDE or AJAX?
If Flash 8.5 were an option, I would hold out for Flexbuilder 2,
but it's not with them since they can only run the Flash 7 player.

Yeah, I thought of that, 
but didn’t know if it was possible to embed a graphic inside a component button 
in Flex 1.5. Is it? Or would I have to custom make the button as a 
.swf. I could do that I suppose.

[flexcoders] Flex 2.0 - Loader - Error #2036 : Load Never Completed

2005-11-17 Thread Michel Bertrand
Title: Flex 2.0 - Loader - Error #2036 : Load Never Completed








Hello !


I have tried to use mx.controls.Loader to load a simple MXML component, like:


public class MyLoader extends Canvas {


public var source:String;


public function ioError(error:Object) : Void {

Alert.show(Loader ioError+ error.text);

}


public function securityError(error:Object) : Void {

Alert.show(Loader securityError+ error.text);

} 


public override function createChildren(): Void {

this.width = 0;

this.height = 0;

this.visible = false;


loader = new Loader();

loader.addEventListener(complete, this.loadComplete);

loader.addEventListener(ioError, this.ioError);

loader.addEventListener(securityError, this.securityError);

addChild(loader);

loader.load(source);


super.createChildren(); 

.

}

} 


The property source contains the path to my MXML that is located at the same directory of MyLoader, for example,

source content is MyComponent.mxml.swf.


So, I've ever had Error #2036 : Load Never Completed when running this code.


I'm using Flash Player version 8,5,0,133.


Any idea ?


Thanks in advance !

a component.

 I get this error message:

Unresolved symbol, SimpleSquare, required by

The thing is that it works in one Flex environment and it does not a
different one.

  [Embed(symbol='SimpleSquare')]

Any ideas?

RE: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?

2005-11-17 Thread Merrill, Jason










Thanks.



So could someone confirm my reasoning on building
an app for Flash 7, having to buy two licenses. 



Do I really need two licenses? One for
development at my company and one for deployment on my clients server? So
I have to recommend purchasing two expensive Flex 1.5 licenses to deploy .swfs
only, not a server - vs. someday this spring (maybe) a much less
expensive Flexbuilder 2 license for under $1000  though I cant
use that. Hmmm, I wonder if Macromedia will drop the price of Flex server
1.5 when Flexbuilder 2 is released?



By the way, Macromedia if you are still listening,
I tried calling Macromedias sales line three times to get pricing
information on Flex for government agencies, went through the touch tone menus
and was hung up on twice before trying a third time and getting some random
sales dudes voice mail. Not impressive.

[flexcoders] Re: Adding Item to a ComboBox

2005-11-17 Thread yaagcur
Several points of clarification please

1) OK so as I understand it, in the final version of Flex 2 prompt will
just be for info and will not be bindable, right?
If so, is it being replaced by an alternative for easy addition of
another item?

2) Using the current alphs I can add an item e.g. 'All States' 
   However, when I try to add it to a combobox which has been
populated from a webservice and uses a labelField=STATE then I get
the error
'Property STATE not found on Object and there is no default value'

3) Is it possible to add more than one prompt e.g Western States,
Eastern States and if so how

4) Would I be better off going back to using a function and ,if so,
how does the post in my original code need to be amended

Thansk for any help

 Yes, the prompt property in Flex 2 will not update the data provider. 
 It'll just display a prompt when nothing in the combobox is selected.
 
 If you use the Alpha 1 build though it still works like Flex 1.5.

Re: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?

2005-11-17 Thread Jordan Snyder



Why not just set up a development server that could be used as the final production server as well, and develop your code on it? Then you buy one license and use it for development and deployment. 
You could still just deploy the SWFs. Just develop on the client's servers to begin with. Build a homebrew PC and work on it, then ship it off to them when you're done? Any obvious problems with this reasoning?

RE: [flexcoders] Unresolved symbol, 'NameSymbol', required by __Packages.com.myComponent

2005-11-17 Thread Oscar . Cortes

I am afraid I am not quite following your idea.  SimpleSquare.as is a
programmatic skin file.  Something like 


class SimpleSquare extends UIObject
{
  static var symbolName:String = SimpleSquare;

..
...
..
it is nothing fancy. I compiled it and got a SimpleSquare.swc, which is
sitting at the same level as the  component that is trying to use it. One
Flex environment is my local PC with Windows and I am deploying to a Unix
server, which is where it does not work ..


Thanks,

 Please respond to  
   
 flexcoders 
   

   

   




Keep in mind that classes and symbols occupy the same namespace in
AS2, so you may need to rename your class to be different than the
symbol you are embedding.

Where is SimpleSquare coming from?  Is it a Flash asset?  It almost
looks like you're trying to embed a component, which isn't correct.  A
SimpleSquare.as with matching class will result in two symbols,
__Packages.SimpleSquare and SimpleSquare.  However, it doesn't know
about the second one until its been compiled, so unless there is a class
dependency to trigger it to be compiled, it won't work.  But if there is
a class dependency (in the other Flex environment that caused it to be
compiled via a hard dependency, then the incorrect code will
coincidentally work.

Don't try to embed component sprites, just use the class.

Don't overlap your component names with symbols defined in Flash, define
them with different names.

You should just use a normal class reference for programmatic skins.

var ss:SimpleSquare = new SimpleSquare();

Embed is used for getting access to assets, not classes:

[Embed(symbol='SimpleSquareAsset')] var ssa:String;
...
mc.attachMovie(ssa, ...);

Are you building this programmatic skin in Flex?  Or in Flash?

   static var symbolName:String = SimpleSquare;
 
 ..
 ...
 ..
 it is nothing fancy. I compiled it and got a 
 SimpleSquare.swc, which is
 sitting at the same level as the  component that is trying to 
 use it. One
 Flex environment is my local PC with Windows and I am 
 deploying to a Unix
 server, which is where it does not work ..
 
 
 Thanks,

 Keep in mind that classes and symbols occupy the same namespace in
 AS2, so you may need to rename your class to be different than the
 symbol you are embedding.
 
 Where is SimpleSquare coming from?  Is it a Flash asset?  It almost
 looks like you're trying to embed a component, which isn't correct.  A
 SimpleSquare.as with matching class will result in two symbols,
 __Packages.SimpleSquare and SimpleSquare.  However, it doesn't know
 about the second one until its been compiled, so unless there 
 is a class
 dependency to trigger it to be compiled, it won't work.  But 
 if there is
 a class dependency (in the other Flex environment that 
 caused it to be
 compiled via a hard dependency, then the incorrect code will
 coincidentally work.
 
 Don't try to embed component sprites, just use the class.
 
 Don't overlap your component names with symbols defined in 
 Flash, define
 them with different names.

 I have the SimpleSquare.as, I am trying to embed a symbol
  it is there in
  a component.
 
   I get this error message:
 
  Unresolved symbol, SimpleSquare, required by
  __Packages.commoncomp.Tree2
 
  The thing is that it works in one Flex environment and it does not a
  different one.
 
[Embed(symbol='SimpleSquare')]
var simpleSquare:String = SimpleSquare;
 
 
  Any ideas?

RE: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?

2005-11-17 Thread Merrill, Jason










Why not just set up a development server that
could be used as the final production server as well, 

and develop your code on it? Then you buy
one license and use it for development and deployment. 

You could still just deploy the SWFs. Just
develop on the client's servers to begin with. 

Build a homebrew PC and work on it, then ship it
off to them when you're done? 

Any obvious problems with this reasoning? 



Well, yes, actually. Thanks, I had thought
of that for a quarter second, but this client the U.S. Navy. No way in h-e
double-hockey-sticks theyre gonna let me go in and actually *develop* on their servers. This isnt a
small hometown bakery who wants a web page. Thanks anyway. I explained this to
a govt. sales rep Macromedia, they think they can work out some kind of
licensing so I can develop in one place, deploy on another.

Sho - anything wrong with a Class Example app like BeatPort -- RE: [flexcoders] Re: Links to Nice-looking Flex Apps

2005-11-17 Thread Robert Thompson



Very, very nice application.I think this is the kind of Standard of Quality we are all shooting for.The more Video Tutorials Sho and others do that allow us to keep a standards practice formula for shooting for this kind of quality in each our own specific target applications, the better the barrage of FLEX2 apps that will promote the technology.This is the first complete app. I've seen that I can understand, conceptually, it's back-pinnings. I saw harley davidson and that's very nice too. HD and BeatPort -- the best examples thus far.Anything wrong with a "Class Example" app. like Mickey, sorry, Microsoft has done in the past when trying to promote a new technology (i.e. they came up with the online Winter Sports store I believe and it was a pretty good example of ASP and Commerce server when it first came out a number of years ago; granted
 Commerce Server was ridiculously overly complex; more than it needed to be).-r  "Merrill, Jason" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Sweet – thanks!  Jason Merrill | E-Learning

RE: [flexcoders] ComboBox and Icons

2005-11-17 Thread Jim Phelan










Hey Andre,



I just had to address this earlier this
week, and I had to write two custom subclasses to make it work. If youre
interested I might be able to clean them up and share it, but it might take a
day or two to get around to it.

[flexcoders] Re: Scrollbar placement

2005-11-17 Thread svktiilikainen
Thank you Sree, this really solves the problem! I owe you one!
The upper container Box is actually not needed, the scrollbar appears 
in the right place when I set minHeight=0 on the Form container. 
I have no clue as to why this works but it does.
