Re: [flexcoders] fyi : Open Source ActionScript 3 Libraries Moved to Google Code
Hi Mike, There's a great movement, thanks. I want to ask you a question about corelib project. I downloaded some days ago and notice that SWC does not have all corelib classes inside, so I must to create a flexbuilder project and configure it to create a new SWC. Then I had a problem with some classes that was not usable (for example the JPGEncoder does not compile). Maybe I was doing something wrong, or I download the zip from a bad place, but I download now from google and see that JPGEncoder is an old version too. I'm a little confused about this. Please could you give me some light about this? Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Adding a listener to a Move Effect with multiple instances
Yes,
I have an mdi pane that resizes and moves at the same time window effects.
I actually tried this in the beginning but found it didn't work. Just
becasue you are adding an effect end to the last instance in the loop, it
doesn't mean that it will actually be the last one to end.
This might not actually answer you r question but a solution that is bullet
proff for me;
in the loop, create a incremental pointer.
add the effect end handler to all of the instances being effected.
increment the pointer for all even if it's resize and move events, get them
all.
in the effect end handler have something like...
this is just my copy and paste
private function moveEffect_tweenEndHandler(event:TweenEvent):void
{
currentEffectsLength--
//log(moveEffect_tweenEndHandler(), currentEffectsLength)
if (currentEffectsLength == 0)
{
var len:int = currentEffects.length;
for (var i:int = 0; i len; i++)
{
var effect:EffectInfo = currentEffects[i];
effect.overlay.x = effect.position.x;
effect.overlay.y = effect.position.y;
effect.overlay.width = effect.position.width;
effect.overlay.height = effect.position.height;
IInvalidating(effect.overlay).validateNow();
effect.position.child.visible = false;
}
callLater(defferEffectEnd);
}
}
---
I have not had a problem with this at all. when the stack is empty you know
all your effects are finished.
Peace, Mike

I am at a complete loss as to why this is happening, it was at one
time working as designed but I must have changed something (what, I
cannot tell) that has brought this about. Can anyone see any issues,
especially race-conditions in this setup? I am unschooled in the ways
of effect instances and the documentation on them is sketchy at best.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue or tell me a better more
solid way of accomplishing this? Thanks for listening

Hi Andriy,
While I like your example, how do you propose aligning the children of
the FormItems? It seems, with this method, that the entire form item
(including the children - TextInput...), gets moved to the left with
the label; at least in my test of this code. If the label text has
different lengths, for each form item, the various children get moved
to the left as well; and don't align. Preferably, this is something
that should be handled with a stock CSS property. but I was wondering if
you had experienced the same behavior. Instead of nesting HBox's, for days,
this would be a very useful technique, for FormItems.

RE: [flexcoders] flex2ant
You might want to use the eclipse.incrementalBuild Task that comes with Eclipse. This allows to invoke the incremental Flex Builder compiler from within Ant. This gives you the same compilation performance as using Build Automatically plus adds all the nice stuff you can achieve with Ant :-) Check my blog post here: http://www.richinternet.de/blog/index.cfm?entry=2B7613A8-C687-AF8E-B9855 2AF89BBE463 http://www.richinternet.de/blog/index.cfm?entry=2B7613A8-C687-AF8E-B985 52AF89BBE463 You'll only need to make sure that Ant runs in the same JRE as the workspace.

[flexcoders] Maximum Precision of a Slider? (Flex 2)
Anyone know what the maximum precision of a Slider component is? I'm building an app where the users need to manipulate values that are very small. For example, the range of possible values for one variable is 0.89 - 0.000100. When I set the Slider.minimum = 0.89 and the Slider.maximum = 0.000100, the Slider appears to interpret both values as zeroes. So the thumb sits at the left end of the slider, no matter what Slider.value is. And when you drag the thumb to the right, it snaps back to the left as soon as you release the mouse button. Does anyone have a way of overcoming this limitation? (Am I missing something obvious in the docs?)
Re: [flexcoders] fyi : Open Source ActionScript 3 Libraries Moved to Google Code
Yes. We continue to work on the libraries, and thus the SWC does not necessarily contain all of the changes that are currently in source (such as the image classes). We will be doing new builds soon, which should update everything.

TransformManagerFX DND Framework WorkSpace - PaneFX - TaskPaneFX - TaskListFX - TabPaneFX (drag and drop itself and also into new divided containers like Adobe Premiere) - PerspectiveFX (ditto, the engine, saves it's workspace state through mxml and loads it) MDI Framework - MDIPaneFX Window Framework - FrameFX - WindowFX (title, menu, tool, content and status bars, just like windows api, minimize, maximize, iconize, close, effects.. etc) - MDIWndowFX Desktop Framework - DeskTopFX - uses windows, icons dataProviders application interface Document framework - DocumentFX an as3 application that documents as3/mxml usinf database projects etc. exports html and xml. (blog) Creation framework - RuledCanvasFX (fireworks knock off) - RulerFX dynamic rulers. get the idea,,, plus a bunch more. Anyway, This summer you should see quite a bit of movement in this area.

[flexcoders] Modules and ActionScript
The docs say that you should extend from Module if you are using mxml and ModuleBase if you are using Actionscript, but these Classes are drastically different. One is a subclass of EventDispatcher (similar to and Object) and one subclasses LayoutContainer (similar to Container). This is a very important difference. I've tried using actionscript to subclass Module and it works perfectly fine. Are the docs incorrect or is there a more subtle reason why actionscript shouldn't extend Module? - Dan

[flexcoders] basic flex architecture questions
Newbie to Flex, (but not Flash/AS 2.0) so for me it's like a skier learning to snowboard. I have dabbled with Flex in the past, and recently went through all the lessons in the help docs, as well as read a lot of other things in there. I'm designing a Team Page - a site that shows people of the business unit as individual cards - like baseball cards. Each card will have elements like a photo of the person, a description of skillsets, and buttons to expand and change to a different state. Making that is easy with a custom component, but I'm having some struggle with the dynamic data part as it relates to the custom component - in other words, making the components generic and then settings the data for them later in my application. I thought I would make a generic person card with a placeholder for the photo and data - that would be a single component, and then in another main application MXML I would repeat that component over and over based on some XML data. Easy enough so far - the XML data isn't the problem. In Flex, I'm not sure how to add the image dynamically, or change the value of the image file reference for each component repeated - I can add an image tag easily enough in the component, but having a hard time not hard-coding the image reference. So I guess I have a few questions: 1. What's the best way to set up a generic image container for the image file be in the person card component and how would I set that in the main application MXML repeat region? Or is making the person card as a component not a good approach? Should I just describe the person card within the repeat region and not make it a custom component? 2. How do i set other variables in the custom components like label values? 3. Overall, what would be a good way to architect a site like this? I know how to create and change states, but unsure what should be a component and what should just described right in the main MXML.

[flexcoders] Eclipse compiler not seeing packages
Good Morning group, My first post, went googling/through archives without success. Running trial Flex 2 Builder(2.0.143) on xp pro. Can get the compiler to see errors when AS3 project file is set as default. But cannot get the compiler to see errors in other as3 files in same project. This is true whether I but them (*.as) in a package and do import statement or leave them in root of project. Line numbers for .as files are dropping out from time to time even though they are selected in Preferences and there is only one perspective? Cannot get trace to output anything even though I have the 9.0.28 debugger for windows showing up from FlexCapilbilities.mxml file I am running. I believe this was all happening with Flex projects also but have large as3 project to iron out before I get back to Flex. Can anyone tell me why compiler is seeing errrors on default application file but not in packages? Why trace is not showing up even though debugger is installed? Why line numbers are dropping out? Thanks in advanced, mapper2255

Re: [flexcoders] scrollbar on the left side of any kind of containers
Sounds like you need to write a component. There is no way to do this with Container. You could create a Container subclass and composite a scroll bar into it(also turning off scroll pilicies of the main Container). Create a view and do your own calculations. The view could then create any container you wanted, then measure it and set your scroll bars accordingly.

[flexcoders] Re: basic flex architecture questions
Jason,
I think you're on the right track with your custom component idea. I
think the best way to handle the dynamic data is with data binding.
Let's take the image as an example. In the ActionScript of your custom
component, you declare a bindable public variable to hold the source
of your image:
[Bindable]
public var myImageSource:Class;
Also in your custom component, you place your image tag where you want
it, using binding syntax for your source attribute:
mx:Image source={myImageSource} /
In your main MXML file, you set the value of the public variable to
the graphic asset that you want. For example, in the ActionScript of
the main file you might have something like this:
[Embed(source=assets/JoeSmith.png,mimeType=image/png)]
[Bindable]
public var myImageSource:Class;
Then, if you use MXML to load your custom component, you would write
something like this:
myCustomComponent myImageSource={myImageSource} /
There are lots of variations on this theme (for example, you could do
it with all ActionScript and no MXML, etc.) but this is the basic idea.
Data binding rocks.
HTH

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Compiling modules
Roger, Would it be possible to get an example of how a shell app could communicate or pass data to a module and vice versa. I'm having difficulty understanding of how to expose methods on both sides that allow for interoperability. What I'd like to do is to load user data in the shell application and then add modules at runtime as needed. If they require user information then have them look to the shell for that information so it's always in the same place. And Also, I can't really see any real difference between a module and another application except for it's extremely tedious to debug the modules?! Couldn't the module automatically look for a debug version of the swf if the shell is a debug version?

[flexcoders] Adobe Labs platform classes best practice
Hello, I have been playing with various of the classes stored in SVN at http://labs.adobe.com/subversion/flashplatform, and have some questions about what is the best way to check those out, to build them. So far I have been checking out the trunk of each project (corelib, xmlsyndication, flexunit, xmpp, etc.) as a separate Flex Library Project using Subclipse. Then I set (what I think are) the appropriate classes (all of them?), source paths (src/actionscript3) and library paths (other Flex Library Projects) in the properties window (under build path) in Flex Builder 2, and have been able to get these to build swc files. Is that the best way to do this? While I am able to get the swcs, I am not able to compile the test applications from within Flex Builder 2 - is there a way to do that? Any help or pointers are appreciated. Thanks, Kevin N.
Re: [flexcoders] fyi : Open Source ActionScript 3 Libraries Moved to Google Code
You shouldn't use those instructions anymore. The code in the Adobe Labs SVN is now out-of-date, and is not going to be updated anymore. All projects going forward will be using the Google Code SVN repositories. Each project on Google Code, then, has instructions for downloading the latest code from SVN. When projects reach milestones, we'll create official releases which will include .swc files in a .zip archive on the main project page. However, if you want to use the latest, you'll have to pull from the Google Code SVN. It's on my roadmap to create ANT scripts to make it easier to get docs/swc from the source, I just haven't had the time to get to it yet. The latest release for each project right now is just a copy of what was previously available on labs. We haven't updated any of the individual downloads for the libraries, though some of the code in the Google SVN is already different that what was in the labs SVN. To pull source for the AS3 libraries now, use instructions found on the Source tab of the Google Code project home page. For example, to get the latest corelib source, the instructions are here: http://code.google.com/p/as3corelib/source -d Paul Evans wrote: On 9 Jan 2007, at 08:59, Carlos Rovira wrote: or I download the zip from a bad place Then I had a problem with some classes that was not usable (for example the JPGEncoder does not compile).

I would do the following:

public function get myDataProvider() : Array

pass the dataProvider you want to use, like this:
custom:CustomComboBox myDataProvider={DataProviderYouWantToUse}/
or
var myCustomCB : CustomComboBox
myCustomCB.myDataProvider = DataProviderYouWantToUse
Please consider that DataProviderYouWantToUse is the array (or

[flexcoders] basic architecture question
Newbie to Flex, (but not Flash/AS 2.0) so for me it's like a skier learning to snowboard. I have dabbled with Flex in the past, and recently went through all the lessons in the help docs, as well as read a lot of other things in there. I'm designing a Team Page - a site that shows people of the business unit as individual cards - like baseball cards. Each card will have elements like a photo of the person, a description of skillsets, and buttons to expand and change to a different state. Making that is easy with a custom component, but I'm having some struggle with the dynamic data part as it relates to the custom component - in other words, making the components generic and then settings the data for them later in my application. I thought I would make a generic person card with a placeholder for the photo and data - that would be a single component, and then in another main application MXML I would repeat that component over and over based on some XML data. Easy enough so far - the XML data isn't the problem. In Flex, I'm not sure how to add the image dynamically, or change the value of the image file reference for each component repeated - I can add an image tag easily enough in the component, but having a hard time not hard-coding the image reference. So I guess I have a few questions: 1. What's the best way to set up a generic image container for the image file be in the person card component and how would I set that in the main application MXML repeat region? Or is making the person card as a component not a good approach? Should I just describe the person card within the repeat region and not make it a custom component? 2. How do i set other variables in the custom components like label values? 3. Overall, what would be a good way to architect a site like this? I know how to create and change states, but unsure what should be a component and what should just described right in the main MXML.

If people are interested in using this approach I will look at hosting it somewhere. This is however an NAnt task so I suspect there will be less people interested in this.

Yes, I've seen this before. Although I don't know if it's a bug, I do
know the workaround.
If you call ObjectUtil.toString() on a UIComponent, you will get this,
because many of the members of UIComponent.systemManager.loaderInfo
throw this exception. In your case, I bet the 'target' property of
the event is a UIComponent.
The workaround is to exclude the 'loaderInfo' property from the dump,
like this:
ObjectUtil.toString(event, null, ['loaderInfo'])
I agree the error message seems suspicious, since the app has
completely finished loading.

Subject: [flexcoders] my event isn't sufficiently loaded to provide

This is a bit weird. (Every other time I have said this it's been me
but...)
I have a custom event that I am broadcasting on a button click.
The Button is clicked, which then calls a function.
When I put a trace of the event.target I get the The loading object

I am not sure why this is happening as the target is fully loaded
before I click it.
Any one else seen this?
The below snippet causes this error for me. Do you see this error when
you run the below code?:

RE: [flexcoders] DataGrid row
That is because there is really no such thing. The list controls are windows into the data, and only the visible rows exist. The visual rendering elements are re-used when the data is scrolled or the dataProvider is changed. You cannot access the data through the control, but must work with the dataProvider, in your case, something like: myDataGrid.dataProvider.setItemAt(); The exact API you use depends on what the dataProvider is, ArrayCollection, XMLList, XMLListCOllection are the main types. If you use the Collection api to modify the data, then the changes will automatically be reflected in the control.

RE: [flexcoders] Modules and ActionScript
This is called lost in translation between engineering and documentation, because its somewhat subtle. It means that if you are using modules for code that doesn't include any frameworks code, you should extend ModuleBase. If your modules use code that interacts directly with the frameworks (in particular, does it rely on CSS, and do you expect the product of the module to be able to be added as a visual component) then you need to extend Module so that the compiler does the correct code generation. If you extend Module in a non-frameworks AS project, you will pull in lots of code that you don't want. -rg From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Freiman Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 7:01 AM To: flexcoders Subject: [flexcoders] Modules and ActionScript The docs say that you should extend from Module if you are using mxml and ModuleBase if you are using Actionscript, but these Classes are drastically different. One is a subclass of EventDispatcher (similar to and Object) and one subclasses LayoutContainer (similar to Container). This is a very important difference. I've tried using actionscript to subclass Module and it works perfectly fine. Are the docs incorrect or is there a more subtle reason why actionscript shouldn't extend Module? - Dan

[flexcoders] RTE when using itemRenderers in DataGrid.
I have been struggling with this issue for about 2 weeks. I was able
to reproduce it in a small example. I add and remove an itemRenderer
to a datagrid column at run-time. This only won't cause the RTE but I
also set the datagrids dataProvider again which causes the error. You
will need the Flash Player Debug version to actually see the error.
You can view the example application at
http://develop.gurufaction.com/flexbug/App.swf . I have also include
the source with this post.

Is there a reason why Flex doesn't have a 64-bit int? How have others worked around this limitation? Much thanks, Adam Adam, The 64-bit integer limitation is an Actionscript 3 limit not Flex. The Number data type uses the 64-bit double-precision format as specified by the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic (IEEE-754). This standard dictates how floating point numbers are stored using the 64 available bits. One bit is used to designate whether the number is positive or negative. Eleven bits are used for the exponent, which is stored as base 2. The remaining 52 bits are used to store the significand (also called the mantissa), which is the number that is raised to the power indicated by the exponent. Michael
[flexcoders] [Cairngorm] Command calling another command
I don't see any Cairngorm specific mailing lists so I will post my question here as I have seen some Cairngorm traffic I am wondering if it is considered a good practice to call one command from another. This allows me to define a sequence of events, and also to abstract the functionality of a certain feature to allow it to be called from other places. It all sounds good to me but I am wondering if there are any reasons not to do this, or if there is another best practice. -- Collin Peters Lead Software Developer InTouch Technology
Re: [flexcoders] FLEX 2 FDS Hibernate Help
Hope that helps... I'd personally like to see a little more Hibernate Flex information out there. It's a powerful combination. I suggest to explore the following combo: FDS2 + Spring + JPA/EJB3 (Hibernate, Toplink,...), it's really a powerful combo!! I'm really loving it :) -- ::| Carlos Rovira ::| http://www.carlosrovira.com ::| http://www.madeinflex.com
[flexcoders] Dispatching an Event from a Class
Hello All, I am attempting to dispatch an Event from a generic Class File, and I guess I'm not doing it correctly. I was hoping, that I could simply do this: import mx.events.IEventDispatcher And then in my function, I could simply dispatch the event like this: IEventDispatcher.dispatchEvent( event ); But it doesn't allow me to do this. In the meantime, I extended my Class to use the UIComponent, which automatically pulls in all the EventDispatcher stuff. Of course, it's silly for me to do this, since I really don't have a need to extend the UIComponent class. There must be a way, to import the proper Class, in order to simply dispatch events. Any advice? Thanks in advance for your help, Mike
[flexcoders] Text in a grid?
(The grid I mean here is not DataGrid or a flex component; I mean like on a graphing paper). In other words, I want to present a text (like in a text area) with an ability to draw arbitrary vertical lines in it. That's easy - but I want to do it so that they go exactly between characters. Any ideas?

Hi, expect a new build on labs very soon (within a week it is expected, but not guaranteed.) -David From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of john_69_11 Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 11:38 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] FABridge Is anyone else out there using FABridge? I'm testing it out on Safari and getting js errors, has anyone else ran into this and possible solutions?
