[flexcoders] Re: Setting the backgroundcolor of a canvas with a function - Newbie alert

2007-01-17 Thread oneproofdk
Hi Cato!

Thanks for your reply, but I still can't make it work.

The value {myRepeater.currentItem.left.page.swift} is a string (or is
it?) it contains a number, either 0 or 1.
leftpage pageno=22 swift=0//left
leftpage pageno=22 swift=1//left

I've tryed to do it like you suggest, getColor(swift:uint):uint, but
with no changes.

public function getColor(swift:uint):uint {
if (swift==1) {
return 0x00;
} else {
return 0xFF;
}
}

mx:Canvas
backgroundColor=getColor(uint({myRepeater.currentItem.left.page.swift})
width=50%

The error I get is on the mx:Canvas line, 1067: Implicit coercion
of a value of type String to an unrelated type uint.

Anyone out there that can help me on this issue ?

Thanks in advance.
Mark

 Hi use uint for colors like getColor(swift:uint):uint
 
 
 The uint class is primarily useful for pixel color values (ARGB and 
 RGBA) and other situations where the int data type does not work 
 well. For example, the number 0x, which represents the color 
 value white with an alpha value of 255, can't be represented using 
 the int data type because it is not within the valid range of the int 
 values.

[flexcoders] Getting an image's original size - needed to resize

2007-01-17 Thread oneproofdk
I'm trying to resize images to fit in a canvas. Works great.
Now I also want the user to be able to zoom/resize the images using a
slider, allowing them to resize to (at least) 100%, but I can't figure
out how to set the image(s) to their original 100% size.

Here's my functions, which get called by user click.

First I switch state, to make the images visible, then I call
switchImage, that get the image url's from the repeaterItem.
Set the source of bigLeft + bigRight
Set the width of the images to half of the canvas. (the images are
pages from a magazine, left and right)

For debugging purpose I put the width into a label.

At the bottom of this post, is the HSlider zoom which are used by
the zoomChange function.

How could I make this work, OR, how could I make 2 buttons [Fit to
window] [Real size].

I can't figure out how to set the image back to the real size 100%.

Thanks for any help and pointers.

[flexcoders] Re: Newbie alert - Trying to populate combobox w. httpservice

2007-01-17 Thread oneproofdk
So now I'm trying to make several httpservice requests, populating
comboboxes and other items, the thing is that they all depend on what
data is selected in the other comboboxes.

Example:
We have 3 comboboxes A B C

First to get data is A from a httpservice, when that is populated,
combobox B should make a post using the selected value (first value)
from combobox A. This also applies to combobox C.

Then if A changes (close=update_combos()) it should make B and C
reload the data, using the new value from A.

How can I do this ?

I tried something like this - but obviously it wont work:

mx:HTTPService id=xmlEdition
url = http://localhost/xml/xml.asp;
showBusyCursor=true method=POST result=editionHandler(event)
mx:request
actionedition/action
/mx:request
/mx:HTTPService

mx:HTTPService id=xmlSales
url = http://localhost/xml/xml.asp;
showBusyCursor=true method=POST result=salesHandler(event)
mx:request
actionsales/action
edition
edition.selectedItem.edition
/edition
/mx:request
/mx:HTTPService

Any help or maybe even some Tutorials out there I could use ??

[flexcoders] [Flexunit] - How to test throwing errors?

2007-01-17 Thread herrodius
Hi all,

sorry for this slightly OT message.

I was wondering what the best way is to test for a method throwing an
error. I have an Account class that takes a number:int and a
name:String as constructor params. If an Account is instantiated with
a null name, I want to throw an Error (IllegalArgumentException).

In my test, I instantiate a new Account with a null name inside a
try/catch and fail immediately after the instantiation. However this
does not seem to work. The fail never executes and the test passes.  
See example:

var errorMessage:String = Account constructor should throw
IllegalArgumentException when passing 'null' name.;
try {
  var a:Account = new Account(100, null);
  fail(errorMessage);
}
catch (e:Error) {}

The only way I can get this to work, is to check if the errorMessage
in the catch block is the same as the error message in my test and
then call fail() again.

var errorMessage:String = Account constructor should throw
IllegalArgumentException when passing 'null' name.;
try {
  var a:Account = new Account(100, null);
  fail(errorMessage);
}
catch(e:Error) {
  if (e.message == errorMessage) {
fail(errorMessage);
  }
}

Seems a bit weird. The fail() in the try block is catched by the catch
block. I thought this worked in AS2? Am I missing out on something or
doing something wrong here?

thx in advance.

regards,
Christophe

[flexcoders] Custom icons on Tree - scroll corruption...

2007-01-17 Thread jamiebadman
Hi,

I've implemented custom icons on a tree component - which looks great 
until the vertical scrollbar appears and I use it... scrolling up and 
down seems to confuse the tre into showing the icons in the wrong 
places - sometimes, two icons against one tree entry.

Anyone else experienced this at all ?

Any idea what might be causing this and/or how I might go about fixing 
it ?!

I imagine a lot of people are custom rendering the tree icons so there 
*must* be someone else out there who's already felt my pain!

Thanks,

Jamie.

 It is very probable that I am confused, for that reason I go to you

 My problem is the use of the memory: basically, which I see is that

 In order to show better he arms it a small application in which we 
 can instantiate n times the control Simple (that contains 2 
 DataGrid) and see that the used memory becomes stabilized in 8Mb or 
 10 Mb. In order to see this in the application we must make several 
 times click in the button that says Component Simple. 
 Soon, to see what I call problem, we must do several times click on 
 the button Component WithNavigator, this will instantiate n 
times 
 the control WithNavigtor (that contains 1 TabNavigator with 2 
grids 
 inside), is there where we will see that the memory never lowers,

 that is increased always. By this it is that it seems to me that

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Builder no longer compiles

2007-01-17 Thread Paul Whitelock
I occasionally have a similar problem in that I'll make changes to
code but when I run or debug the application in Firefox from Flex
Builder it's the same version as the one before the changes were made.

It turns out that for reasons unknown Firefox caches the SWF and
doesn't recognize that it's been changed. If I clear the browser cache
(using the Firefox Web Developer Toolbar plug-in) and run again
everything is fine. It took me a while to figure out what was going
on, but it's now quite easy to solve this problem when it occurs.

Browser caching might not be what is causing your problem, but try
clearing the cache next time you see this problem and see if it helps.

 Ok... so must be something in my project... started hacking away at

 }
 /mx:Style

 /mx:Application


 Deleting the style tag for a blank appliaction, it compiled
immediately 1-1.5sec


 Here is what's going on (or so I think)

 FlashType support

 FlashType is the text rendering engine introduced in Flash Player 8.
 It improves the readability of text, especially at smaller font
sizes.
 To leverage the FlashType engine in Flex 2, you had to create a SWF
 that embedded a particular font using the Flash authoring tool, and
 then embed that SWF file in your Flex application. With Flex 2.0.1,
 the mxmlc compiler can now embed a font using the FlashType engine
 directly, eliminating a step for many developers.


 So I'm back to running fast as long as I dont embed fonts via css,
 I'll reenable it when I need to publish a working version (or look
 into creating the SWF file on my own and not use CSS)

[flexcoders] Launching FlexBuilder from multiple User accounts

2007-01-17 Thread wardmruth
Hi:

I've got a MacBook Pro I've set up with a couple of User accounts for myself. I 
installed and 
launched the standalone version of FlexBuilder on my main account (I installed 
FB into an 
Applications directory above the level of the Users directory).

Then I logged into the other account and tried to launch FB, but it won't 
launch, and 
generates an error message directing me to look at a log file. Examining the 
log, this is 
some of what I see:

Anyone else run into this? Is this some sort of licensing check? I though about 
trying to 
launch FB providing the -data flag -- how would I supply this arg to FB through 
the 
terminal? 

I'd like the ability to run FB from multiple accounts on my machine w/o having

Thanks for any pointers!

[flexcoders] Re: Code behind- do you use it?

2007-01-17 Thread Danko Kozar
I use code-behind on pages with lot of code, since I don't want a mess:

On index.mxml I have the script block containing th epath to the 
actionscript file (not as class):
mx:Script source=index.as /

My question  is:
Why doesn't Flex Builder allow to name the .mxml and .as page using the 
same name? Does this happen only with files in subdirectories (?). 
Because the index.mxml -- index.as (in root) works ok, but some other 
files cause me problems, so I have to add some extra characters in it's 
name, e.g.: MainView.mxml -- MainView_.as

[flexcoders] Weird behavior of mx:Effects on ViewStack

2007-01-17 Thread Danko Kozar
Hi,

I'm using mx:Move effects on ViewStack as it's items showEffect and 
hideEffect. HideEffect moves the previous view off-screen; then the 
next view slides in.

(btw these views are complex full-screen displays (containing 
TabNavigators, DataGrids and TileLists)

First time when changing views, the effect plays properly - e.g. when 
switching from view 0 to view 1, or view 1-view 2 etc. everything 
works as expected: the first view moves out, the second one moves in.

But: I've noticed a strange behaviour when returning to the ViewStack's 
view that was previously shown (created), for instance view 1 -view 0: 
for a blink of a second the object is displayed on it's final position 
(!); then it dissapears, the effect starts and object moves in as 
expected.
Another thing I noticed is that previously created view's showEffect 
starts too early: it doesn't wait the hideEffect of the previous view 
to play it's part - they play at the SAME TIME.

I've come to conclusion that this first time the effect plays right 
because objects aren't created yet (?).

I tried to do the same thing with mx:States - nothing was improved, and 
the performance was drastically degraded - seems like States have 
problems (?).

The questions are:
- what am I supposed to do with Effects. Did I miss something? 
- do I have to destroy objects previously shown? 
- how do you destroy objects in Flex?
- what's the problem with mx:States and performance?

Thanks in advance!

[flexcoders] Precompiling with active web-tier compiler

2007-01-17 Thread haravallabhan
Hi all..

I am trying to precompile the application which uses the FDS 2.0. 
Precompiling doest give me any errors. But the issue is Iam using 
RemoteObject in the client to access Java methods. So it need web-
tier compiler. 

So when I wrote a html wrapper with the src=MyApp.swf I get the 
error couldn't establish a connection to MyService where MyService 
is the destination I referred to in the RemoteObject call.The 
destination poits to the service mentioned in the remote-config.xml.

But when I give src=MyApp.mxml in the html wrapper the application 
works fine. Is it that it nullified the precompile I did?? Does it 
compile again when I specify MyApp.mxml iside the html wrapper 

If so is there a way out, without compromising the precompiling 
action? Can I deactivate the web-tier compiler? And which config I 
may use instead of remote-config.xml. Since when remote-config.xml is 
there then the web-tier compiler is activates as per the help doc.

Does anyone have an answer for me?

Thanks in advance

[flexcoders] Query regarding multiple files upload using the FileReferenceList class

2007-01-17 Thread paromitadey
Hello Everybody,

I have browsed multiple files using the FileReferenceList.browse() 
method but to actually upload the fles I have to iterate through the 
FileReferenceList.fileList array and individually upload each file 
using FileReference.upload() method.

My question is, does this mean that for each file being uploaded an 
urlRequest is made and there is a server hit?

Also, is there any other way to avoid multiple server hits but upload 
multiple files? Can we do a batch upload where we can send the 
filesReferenceList object instead of individual FileReference objects 
maintained in the FileReferenceList.fileList array?

Please advise.

Thanks and Regards,

2007-01-17 Thread herrodius
Hi Olivier,

that should indeed be the behavior, but the test also passes if I
remove the throw Error() line in my Account constructor. This is
probably because the fail() in the testcase is directly caught by the
catch block underneath. I used to do it this way in AS2, but it seems
like the try/catch behavior is different in AS3.

Does anyone have any solution for this, or another way of testing
throw statements?

 Subject: [flexcoders] [Flexunit] - How to test throwing errors?
 
 
 
 Hi all,
 
 sorry for this slightly OT message.
 
 I was wondering what the best way is to test for a method throwing an
 error. I have an Account class that takes a number:int and a
 name:String as constructor params. If an Account is instantiated with
 a null name, I want to throw an Error (IllegalArgumentException).
 
 In my test, I instantiate a new Account with a null name inside a
 try/catch and fail immediately after the instantiation. However this
 does not seem to work. The fail never executes and the test passes. 
 See example:
 
 var errorMessage:String = Account constructor should throw
 IllegalArgumentException when passing 'null' name.;
 try {
 var a:Account = new Account(100, null);
 fail(errorMessage);
 }
 catch (e:Error) {}
 
 The only way I can get this to work, is to check if the errorMessage
 in the catch block is the same as the error message in my test and
 then call fail() again.
 
 var errorMessage:String = Account constructor should throw
 IllegalArgumentException when passing 'null' name.;
 try {
 var a:Account = new Account(100, null);
 fail(errorMessage);
 }
 catch(e:Error) {
 if (e.message == errorMessage) {
 fail(errorMessage);
 }
 }
 
 Seems a bit weird. The fail() in the try block is catched by the catch
 block. I thought this worked in AS2? Am I missing out on something or
 doing something wrong here?
 
 thx in advance.
 
 regards,
 Christophe

Your idea of the UID sounds like it will work but I'd

these redundant event notifications.. It seems that cairngorm creates
new instances of the delegate/event listeners etc every time, maybe
there is a way to find a unique reference for them that you can use to
filter out the extra events? but I guess that still creates a memory
problem and the application will get slow after a while, something that
would easily happen in a chatroom application for example.. question is:
how does someone kill these event listeners with cairngorm?

Subject: [flexcoders] Precompiling with active web-tier compiler



Hi all..

I am trying to precompile the application which uses the FDS 2.0. 
Precompiling doest give me any errors. But the issue is Iam using 
RemoteObject in the client to access Java methods. So it need web-
tier compiler. 

So when I wrote a html wrapper with the src=MyApp.swf I get the 
error couldn't establish a connection to MyService where MyService 
is the destination I referred to in the RemoteObject call.The 
destination poits to the service mentioned in the remote-config.xml.

But when I give src=MyApp.mxml in the html wrapper the application 
works fine. Is it that it nullified the precompile I did?? Does it 
compile again when I specify MyApp.mxml iside the html wrapper 

If so is there a way out, without compromising the precompiling 
action? Can I deactivate the web-tier compiler? And which config I 
may use instead of remote-config.xml. Since when remote-config.xml is 
there then the web-tier compiler is activates as per the help doc.

Does anyone have an answer for me?

Thanks in advance
Regards
Hara

The .mxml files get translated into .as files of the same name.  So
basically you then have 2 index.as files... which obviously is going to
give you problems.

I use code-behind on pages with lot of code, since I don't want
a mess:

On index.mxml I have the script block containing th epath to the

actionscript file (not as class):
mx:Script source=index.as /

My question is:
Why doesn't Flex Builder allow to name the .mxml and .as page
using the 
same name? Does this happen only with files in subdirectories
(?). 
Because the index.mxml -- index.as (in root) works ok, but
some other 
files cause me problems, so I have to add some extra characters
in it's 
name, e.g.: MainView.mxml -- MainView_.as

Thanks..

[flexcoders] Module Interface Problems

2007-01-17 Thread kristian_wright2002
I'm having a problem passing variables from one module to another via
an interface.

I have an application that calls a module when it enters a specific
state, which works fine. The module is loaded through mx:ModuleLoader
id=modMyModule1 url=myModule1.swf and it works as expected.

Within this module, I have a button that when pressed, calls a second
module via a module loader, using an interface. I need an interface,
as there is a variable that I need to pass between these two modules.
Clicking the button runs a couple of functions, ending with:

currentState='Results';
modMyModule2.url='myResults.swf;

and the states look like:

mx:states
mx:State name=Results
mx:AddChild
mx:ModuleLoader id=modMyModule2 ready=readyModule(event)
error=modErrorHandler(event) /
/mx:AddChild
/mx:State
/mx:states

So when the module is ready, the following code is invoked in
modMyModule1:

private function readyModule(evt:ModuleEvent):void
{
var ichild:* = modMyModule2.child as IResults;
if(ichild != null) { ichild.searchResults = arrSearchResults;
trace(NOT NULL); }
else { trace(NULL!); }
}

modMyModule2 contains 'implements=IResults' in it's root module tag,
and IResults is defined as follows:

package
{
import flash.events.IEventDispatcher;
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;

public interface IResults extends IEventDispatcher
{
function set searchResults(arrResults:ArrayCollection):void;
function get searchResults():ArrayCollection;
}
}

I have corresponding getter and setter functions in my modMyModule2,
but they never seem to get called! For some reason, the interface is
always failing, and therefore in my readyModule() function in the
first module, it always traces NULL.

I can access the required variable in the second module via
parentApplication.modMyModule1.child.arrSearchResults, but I'd prefer
to do it via the interface.

I've gone through all the docs, but I can't see what I've done that's
different from anything in them, except for the fact that I'm calling
a module from a module via an interface.

Can anyone shed some light on this at all?

Cheers,
K. 



RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Builder 2.0.1 the update !

Rick, you might be able to still embed fonts without experiencing such a
dramatic performance problem. Try embedding the fonts but disabling
FlashType (it's enabled by default):

 @font-face {
   src: url(/assets/fonts/ARIAL.TTF);
   fontFamily: myArial;
   flashType: false;
 }

 Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Builder 2.0.1 the update !
 
 Do you have embeded fonts in your application?
 
 I was experiencing the same slowdown after upgrading to flex 
 2.0.1. I had 2.0 installed, updated to 2.0.1, then ran the 
 clean command prior to opening flex. It was still slow.
 
 Saw the blog about closing projects, closed everything but 
 the one I'm working on, still slow
 
 Deleted all projects and created a blank application, super fast.
 Ok... so must be something in my project... started hacking 
 away at the files until I came down to the fonts.
 
 This took almost 20seconds (on my machine) to compile
 
 ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
 mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml 
 http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml 
 
 mx:Style
 @font-face {
 src: url(/assets/fonts/ARIAL.TTF);
 fontFamily: myArial;
 }
 @font-face {
 src: url(/assets/fonts/BKANT.TTF);
 fontFamily: myBkant;
 }
 @font-face {
 src: url(/assets/fonts/TAHOMA.TTF);
 fontFamily: myTahoma;
 }
 @font-face {
 src: url(/assets/fonts/TIMES.TTF);
 fontFamily: myTimes;
 }
 @font-face {
 src: url(/assets/fonts/TREBUC.TTF);
 fontFamily: myTrebuc;
 }
 /mx:Style 
 
 /mx:Application
 
 Deleting the style tag for a blank appliaction, it compiled 
 immediately 1-1.5sec
 
 Here is what's going on (or so I think)
 
 FlashType support
 
 FlashType is the text rendering engine introduced in Flash Player 8.
 It improves the readability of text, especially at smaller font sizes.
 To leverage the FlashType engine in Flex 2, you had to create 
 a SWF that embedded a particular font using the Flash 
 authoring tool, and then embed that SWF file in your Flex 
 application. With Flex 2.0.1, the mxmlc compiler can now 
 embed a font using the FlashType engine directly, eliminating 
 a step for many developers.
 
 So I'm back to running fast as long as I dont embed fonts via 
 css, I'll reenable it when I need to publish a working 
 version (or look into creating the SWF file on my own and not use CSS)

Re: [flexcoders] FlexPrintJob problem: application background colors showing in margins

2007-01-17 Thread Jason Y. Kwong

Since there doesn't appear to be any follow-up to this topic, I'll provide
an example.  I recently started working with printing (using 2.0.1) and
noticed this problem of the background colour bleeding through into the
margin of the printed output.  This might be printer/driver specific,
though.  It happens on my HP Photosmart 2575 printer, but doesn't happen
when I print to a PDF using CutePDF Writer.  A quick example follows below.
It would be good to know if this happens with other people's printers, and
hopefully someone has a workaround.

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute
backgroundColor=0xff
   mx:Script
   ![CDATA[
   import mx.printing.FlexPrintJobScaleType;
   import mx.printing.FlexPrintJob;

   private function doPrint(): void
   {
   var job: FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
   job.printAsBitmap = false;
   if (job.start())
   {
   job.addObject(preview, FlexPrintJobScaleType.SHOW_ALL);
   job.send();
   }
   }
   ]]
   /mx:Script

 Hi all..
 
 I am trying to precompile the application which uses the FDS 2.0. 
 Precompiling doest give me any errors. But the issue is Iam using 
 RemoteObject in the client to access Java methods. So it need web-
 tier compiler. 
 
 So when I wrote a html wrapper with the src=MyApp.swf I get the 
 error couldn't establish a connection to MyService where 
MyService 
 is the destination I referred to in the RemoteObject call.The 
 destination poits to the service mentioned in the remote-config.xml.
 
 But when I give src=MyApp.mxml in the html wrapper the 
application 
 works fine. Is it that it nullified the precompile I did?? Does it 
 compile again when I specify MyApp.mxml iside the html wrapper 
 
 If so is there a way out, without compromising the precompiling 
 action? Can I deactivate the web-tier compiler? And which config I 
 may use instead of remote-config.xml. Since when remote-config.xml 
is 
 there then the web-tier compiler is activates as per the help doc.
 
 Does anyone have an answer for me?
 
 Thanks in advance

Re: [flexcoders] AMFPHP Security

2007-01-17 Thread Patrick Mineault
Amfphp is not inherently less secure than FDS. Anybody who wants to can 
spoof requests to FDS or amfphp, just like they can for HTTP POST. As a 
side-note, users don't have to bother to decompile your SWF; they can 
just sniff packets coming in or out of your movie using ServiceCapture 
or Charles.

The rules for securing Remoting apps aren't any different than the rules 
for HTTP POST: don't trust data, secure sensitive methods 
(deleteEntireDatabase(), for example), use sessions to identify users, 
be wary of SQL injection, don't send SQL over the wire, use SSL when 
sending credit card/banking info, etc. Just common sense really. The 
only thing that you should be worried about that doesn't have an 
equivalent in HTTP POST is sending VOs. Since they are mapped 
automatically and VO types are uneforced, someone can spoof VOs and make 
them any type they want. For example, consider the service function:

function deleteUser($userVO)
{
$userVO-delete();
}

Well, you might expect that $userVO is a com.myPackage.UserVO, but it 
could also be a com.myPackage.PhotoVO, or a com.myPackage.AdminVO, 
or whatever. So you either have to make sure you do receive the VO type 
you expect, using instanceof or is_a, or you should only use dumb VOs 
which don't have any methods. This and the fact that assignments on a 
class for variables that not defined won't cause a warning unless using 
E_STRICT, which amfphp won't run in (as it's impossible to work in 
E_STRICT while supporting PHP4), means that using VOs in amfphp (and in 
PHP in general) is IMHO bad practice. VOs make a lot more sense in fully 
(runtime, not just compile-time) typed languages.

Also, sending the information encrypted via the use of SSL/TLS should also
help lock down security.

Hi Guys, 

 

Is there something like a timeout in AS3.

 

Problem is following:

 

I have a Canvas. When I call validateNow(), scrollbars change, but if
immediately after I call validateNow() ask for the
maxHorizontalScrollPosition, I get the old value from before the
invalidate and not the new one...

 

So do I have to wait a frame? Or is there a better way, because this is
what annoys me in Flash, to solve something, often you need to wait a
frame...

[flexcoders] player 9 security, crossdomain, permissions, local/network files, etc

2007-01-17 Thread jerome_cordiez
Hi all,

being a long time flash user, but pretty new to flex and more
generally as3/player 9 features, I am having a pretty hard time
working out the in and outs of the new security features of fp9...

The docs are pretty exhaustive (51 pages pdf!), but pretty much very
difficult to read imho, things went a long way since the basic can't
load swf from domainA into domainB, but... :), and I am currently
having many difficulties to fully understand how things now work, and
how to allow what etc.

Basically, in my case, I have a main SWF application, that loads local
(flash 9) SWFs, that in turn load stuff externally :  swf's, images,
probably text and/or xml data later on, etc... 

My first question would be : how would one tune his development setup
to allow for this to work without popping up security errors?

My second question would be... has anyone here seen/written a
comprehensive post/document on the matter, besides the official ones,
that are truly difficult to follow :)?

Anyway, if someone here has answers to bring to this post, i would be
very grateful, and i tend to believe i won't be the only one :)

Thanks a lot anyway, cheers,
J.



RE: [flexcoders] Need primer on Events, from the List Gurus -

Now it all makes sense to me - the key is using the Getters and Setters as the

So I guess in some odd way, we are still using Event Broadcasting to accomplish

Now what will happen is the minute you add a new note to your model, the

Hello Dimitrios,
 
I was trying to keep my post as generic as possible - which is why I didn't 
post specifics.
 
In this particular instance however, I want to broadcast a Custom Event to a 
DataGrid residing on a Panel Control - to Scroll to the very top, whenever I 
add a new record to an ArrayCollection (residing in the ModelLocater).  This 
can happen ONLY when I add a new record - and this is why I want to create a 
Custom Event for this.  I am pushing for a Custom Event, because I don't think 
there is a built-in Event native to the DataGrid, that I can count on 100% of 
the time, to fire off ONLY when New Records are being added.
 
The catch is, I can't dispatch the Event until I get my onResult response from 
the ColdFusion Server - indicating that the Database Insert was in fact 
successful, and that it's now okay to update the Model's ArrayCollection with 
the new ValueObject.
 
Since the onResult logic resides in a Cairngorm Command Class, this is where I 
need to dispatch the Event from.  Or at least initiate the command to dispatch 
the Event, which can reside in the ModelLocater - and dispatch it from there.
 
Since all of my primary Views containing the Model-bound Controls, have a 
reference to the ModelLocater, I am thinking that there must be a way to 
dispatch these Events from the Model - and have a way for these Views to 
respond accordingly.
 
If you could help me out in this regard, I really would be truly grateful.  My 
application development, has literally come to a screeching HALT, because of me 
not knowing how to handle all these issues.
 
I am tracking down every Event Broadcaster and Listener Tutorial I can get my 
hands on, so that I can learn more about how all this works.  But in all of the 
examples I download and dissect, they ALL have a common View, that centralizes 
the code - in which it's quite easy to tie everything together.
 
In my case, I have Views and Controls scattered all over the place - and they 
can be instantiated (or not be for that matter) at any given moment.  I just 
don't know how to write code to broadcast Events in such a manner, so that each 
component has no prior knowledge of any other component.
 
I hope I'm explaining all this properly...
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Mike

They say the Event model is so great, due to all the components being so

RE: [flexcoders] Re: ObserveValue, and how to reference within AS3 Class File

2007-01-17 Thread Mike Anderson
Thanks Alex!

With the help of Dimitrios, I was able to accomplish what I needed to.

Still, using your cool little utility Class, it makes it really easy for
somebody to listen for very particular changes in a variable.

Since I am using Cairngorm, and the nature of Cairngorm centralizes
everything in the Model, I was trying to Dispatch Custom Events, from my
Commands (and failing miserably).

Using the method I just learned (getters, setters, and events), this way
is much cleaner.

Again, thanks for your reply -

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: ObserveValue, and how to reference within AS3
Class File

Hi Mike,

Observe and ObserveValue have been designed to work with MXML binding
only. The curly braces in the source and handler properties are being
treated differently by the MXML compiler than just simple ActionScript
assingments as you do in your example. Therefore, the current
implementation relies on the MXML compiler and cannot be used in
ActionScript. 

However, I'd be intersted in why you want to use data binding in an
ActionScript environment (for your ActionScript model or utility
classes). In my experience, using a pure EventDispatcher is easier to
write and most importantly to read (especially for other developer,
potentially coming from other technologies). Just let your class
dispatch a custom event when something important happens. Or if you
cannot do that easily, listen to the propertyChange event of Bindable
properties.

Best,
Alex

 Hello All,
 
 I am trying to figure out how to use the ObserveValue Component, when 
 I use it inside of a Class File.
 
 In all the examples I've seen, they all utilize the Class File as a 
 MXML Component - and when I use it in this manner, it works just fine.
 
 BUT, I really need to use this inside my Class Files - and as far as I

 can tell, I should be able to import the Class File, and create a new 
 variable - casting it as an ObserveValue() - but when I use it this 
 way, nothing happens.
 
 Per the examples, here is the proper use of the file:
 
 ac:ObserveValue 
   id=valueObserver 
   source={ model.myVarToBeWatched } 
   handler=valueObserverHandler 
   value=true/
 
 Now, I'd like to use it using pure ActionScript - and here's what I 
 got so far: (keep in mind, the AS Class File below, is extending the 
 Control in which it belongs to - and rest assured, that I am placing 
 all the appropriate code within all the proper Event Listeners, like 
 onCreationComplete, etc.)  I am just keeping it simple, for this

 My real question here is, when creating component written purely in 
 AS3, can they be used either way - like as an inline Component in 
 MXML, or if you choose, referenced within an AS3 Package?  I don't see

 why not, since MXML Controls are all just Class Files anyway...
 
 So I just wanted to know if somebody could shed some light on what I'm

 doing wrong, or if the ObserveValue Class just wasn't designed to be 
 used in this manner.
 
 Thanks in advance for all your help,

[flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm support for Flex 2.0.1 modules?

2007-01-17 Thread Tom Baggett
Thanks so much for the replies!

I'm already in the process of implementing my own solution as our
timeframe is quite rushed.  Your info that I duplicated below was
particularly valuable as it was a problem I hadn't thought about yet.
 Your solution will undoubtedly save me a lot of time

 My team is currently in the process of developing a large modular Flex
 application that is based on Cairngorm and uses the mx:Modules.

 The one thing that was quite tricky was uncoupling binding from the
 ModelLocator during module unloads.
...
 Instead we had to use the BindingUtils and then call a method just
 before unloading a module to remove the bindings, then the module
 could be properly unloaded and garbage collected. Also we had to make
 sure we used weak reference event listeners in order to ensure garbage
 collection would properly occur on the unloaded modules.



Re: [flexcoders] Re: Code behind- do you use it?

2007-01-17 Thread Oliver Tupman

I used to use code behind when I first started with the alpha of Flex 2 but
then switched to using helper classes instead. I found code behind simply
added to the huge number of properties and methods that are already
available in a UI component, plus it meant I could introduce an interface
for the UI that I pass to the helper class - then I could reengineer the
look without playing (too much) with the helper class.

Having said that, since Cairngorm came out for Flex 2 I've not used code
behind or dedicated helper classes much at all.

That's my take.

 I use code-behind on pages with lot of code, since I don't want a mess:

On index.mxml I have the script block containing th epath to the
actionscript file (not as class):
mx:Script source=index.as /

My question is:
Why doesn't Flex Builder allow to name the .mxml and .as page using the
same name? Does this happen only with files in subdirectories (?).
Because the index.mxml -- index.as (in root) works ok, but some other
files cause me problems, so I have to add some extra characters in it's
name, e.g.: MainView.mxml -- MainView_.as

[flexcoders] Applying actionscript to mx:Image

2007-01-17 Thread Merrill, Jason
 
 How do I access the sprite/movieClip instance (not sure which it is in
the image class) of an image loaded into image tag and then pass that to
an actionscript method?

 
Basically, I have a repeater that loads dynamic images (based on
XML data) into an mx:Image tag.  That works fine.  I also have a
Reflection class  (I'm making it AS 3.0 compliant) which applys a
reflection effect to a movie clip's bitmap data, which also works fine
outside of Flex .  However in Flex, I know how to import the class, but
not how to tie the rendering of the different dynamic images in my MXML
with the Reflection class.  I read the help docs on mx.controls.image,
and it seems like the image might be loaded into a sprite instance, but
how to I send that sprite instance to my actionscript method right after
the image loads?  
 
Any ideas?  Thanks.

 Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Builder 2.0.1 the update !

 Do you have embeded fonts in your application?

 I was experiencing the same slowdown after upgrading to flex
 2.0.1. I had 2.0 installed, updated to 2.0.1, then ran the
 clean command prior to opening flex. It was still slow.

 Saw the blog about closing projects, closed everything but
 the one I'm working on, still slow

 Deleted all projects and created a blank application, super fast.
 Ok... so must be something in my project... started hacking
 away at the files until I came down to the fonts.

 This took almost 20seconds (on my machine) to compile

 ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
 mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
 http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml 

 mx:Style
 @font-face {
 src: url(/assets/fonts/ARIAL.TTF);
 fontFamily: myArial;
 }
 @font-face {
 src: url(/assets/fonts/BKANT.TTF);
 fontFamily: myBkant;
 }
 @font-face {
 src: url(/assets/fonts/TAHOMA.TTF);
 fontFamily: myTahoma;
 }
 @font-face {
 src: url(/assets/fonts/TIMES.TTF);
 fontFamily: myTimes;
 }
 @font-face {
 src: url(/assets/fonts/TREBUC.TTF);
 fontFamily: myTrebuc;
 }
 /mx:Style

 /mx:Application

 Deleting the style tag for a blank appliaction, it compiled
 immediately 1-1.5sec

 Here is what's going on (or so I think)

 FlashType support

 FlashType is the text rendering engine introduced in Flash Player 8.
 It improves the readability of text, especially at smaller font sizes.
 To leverage the FlashType engine in Flex 2, you had to create
 a SWF that embedded a particular font using the Flash
 authoring tool, and then embed that SWF file in your Flex
 application. With Flex 2.0.1, the mxmlc compiler can now
 embed a font using the FlashType engine directly, eliminating
 a step for many developers.

 So I'm back to running fast as long as I dont embed fonts via
 css, I'll reenable it when I need to publish a working
 version (or look into creating the SWF file on my own and not use CSS)

[flexcoders] Tree Multiple Drag and Drop (Sorting ?)

2007-01-17 Thread Jason Hawryluk
When dragging multiple items in the tree control the array is being sorted
or reversed (depends on it’s mood I suppose). I fully understand the reason
behind building the array in the order selected by the user when using ctrl,
but if I select top to bottom or bottom to top with shift; it's being
sorted...

This kind of makes it difficult to keep a backend version of the tree up to
date properly. I.e. sending updates as they happen as opposed to sending the
entire structure. I’m using a XMLListCollection here so that could be
related.

Any trick to turn this off/override it, without delving into the deepest
inner workings of the tree control?

There are several other problems I’m encountering with this control, which I
’ll post about when I’ve figured out a bit what is happening.

Has anyone managed to get this baby working flawlessly.

Thanks

Jason

[flexcoders] Flex SDK - /* @copy mx.core.UIComponent ??

2007-01-17 Thread Rick Schmitty
Just wondering what the terminology means when you see the following

UITextField.as


//--
//  percentWidth
//--

/**
 *  @copy mx.core.UIComponent#percentWidth
 */
public function get percentWidth():Number
{
return NaN;
}

/**
 *  @private
 */
 public function set percentWidth(value:Number):void
 {
 }




Does that copy the functionality from UIComponent or is that something
that is to be done still?


Re: [flexcoders] Embed statement and relative paths

2007-01-17 Thread Daniel Wabyick

Relative paths, strangely, are relative to the *file* that you are 
embedding assets in. So what I assume is that you are embedding in an 
MXML or CSS file some ways down in your project hierarchy.

My solution to this was to create an EmbedRegistry class which is the 
sole location of embed statements throughout my (medium sized) project.


/** Truncated version of the Embed registry. **/
public class EmbedRegistry
{
[Embed(source='../../../../assets/static_assets.swf', 
symbol='scene_icon')]
public static const sceneIcon : Class;

[Embed(source='../../../../assets/static_assets.swf', 
symbol='presentation_icon')]
public static const presentationIcon : Class;
}

Then, I can use the classes like such:

mx:Button icon={ EmbedRegistry.sceneIcon }  /

Hope that helps!

[flexcoders] HTML template used for FDS app

2007-01-17 Thread Oliver Merk
Hi all,
I know that for a basic Flex Builder project, the folder
/html-template contains the wrapper HTML for the generated app. Where
does the Flex compiler get the HTML wrapper code when you access the
application MXML file directly off the application server? eg. If I
invoke http://localhost:8700/MyApp.mxml and view source in the
browser, I can see the HTML surrounding the object tag. Where does
this HTML come from and is it editable?

Cheers,

Subject: [flexcoders] Module Interface Problems




I'm having a problem passing variables from one module to
another via
an interface.

I have an application that calls a module when it enters a
specific
state, which works fine. The module is loaded through
mx:ModuleLoader
id=modMyModule1 url=myModule1.swf and it works as expected.

Within this module, I have a button that when pressed, calls a
second
module via a module loader, using an interface. I need an
interface,
as there is a variable that I need to pass between these two
modules.
Clicking the button runs a couple of functions, ending with:

currentState='Results';
modMyModule2.url='myResults.swf;

and the states look like:

mx:states
mx:State name=Results
mx:AddChild
mx:ModuleLoader id=modMyModule2 ready=readyModule(event)
error=modErrorHandler(event) /
/mx:AddChild
/mx:State
/mx:states

So when the module is ready, the following code is invoked in
modMyModule1:

private function readyModule(evt:ModuleEvent):void
{
var ichild:* = modMyModule2.child as IResults;
if(ichild != null) { ichild.searchResults = arrSearchResults;
trace(NOT NULL); }
else { trace(NULL!); }
}

modMyModule2 contains 'implements=IResults' in it's root
module tag,
and IResults is defined as follows:

package
{
import flash.events.IEventDispatcher;
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;

public interface IResults extends IEventDispatcher
{
function set searchResults(arrResults:ArrayCollection):void;
function get searchResults():ArrayCollection;
}
}

I have corresponding getter and setter functions in my
modMyModule2,
but they never seem to get called! For some reason, the
interface is
always failing, and therefore in my readyModule() function in
the
first module, it always traces NULL.

I can access the required variable in the second module via
parentApplication.modMyModule1.child.arrSearchResults, but I'd
prefer
to do it via the interface.

I've gone through all the docs, but I can't see what I've done
that's
different from anything in them, except for the fact that I'm
calling
a module from a module via an interface.

Can anyone shed some light on this at all?

Cheers,
K. 



 



[flexcoders] Binding a DataGrid to an Array

Re: [flexcoders] FlexPrintJob problem: application background colors showing in margins

2007-01-17 Thread luciano

Hi,
I'm having a similar problem.
The effect that i'm getting is that it prints a line depending on the fit
done when the component is rendered.
As i'm using FlexPrintJobScaleType.SHOW_ALL, some reports are scaled with
MATCH_HEIGHT and others with MATCH_WIDTH.
When the print job is scaled to fit the width, a vertical line is printed at
the right of the paper, and when the job is scaled to height the line is
printed horizontally at the bottom of the page.
I assume that this line is the background as it haves the same width or
height than the printed component.

Any clue?

thanks for the info

Not sure but this may help:
Try to execute  data bindings manually.
// say at this point the array has been updated, then:
var dupArray : Array = origArray as Array; 
/*basically create a new reference*/
gird.dataProvider = dupArray;
This should rebind the data in the grid.

OR you can just do this:
// say at this point the array has been updated, then:
grid.executeBindings(false);

Re: [flexcoders] Binding a DataGrid to an Array

Steve,

why not use an ArrayCollection? in your result function do something like
this

function result(data:Object):void{
var myModel : ModelLocator : ModelLocator.getInstance();
myModel.myArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(data.result);
}

You should be able to add Items to your ArrayCollection and see your
datagrid updated.

[flexcoders] Slightly OT - The Limitations of CFMX 7.02

2007-01-17 Thread Battershall, Jeff
I've been using CFMX 7.02's ability translate CFCs to AS objects but
have noticed the following limitation:

If I have an array of objects (like CFCs) in my CFC/AS class def - these
will not translate over the wire and I'm forced to pull over the array
as a separate remoting request.

Example:
Catalog.cfc has an attribute products of type Product.cfc array.
cfproperty name=Products type=Product[]/
Catalog.as has an ArrayCollection of Product objects, i.e., public var
Products:ArrayCollection.

The rest of the CFC translates perfectly to my AS object instance, but
the ArrayCollection remains null and unpopulated, requiring a second
round trip to retreive the items.

Now I know I might be asking a lot to want direct and complete
translation including nested objects and such and possibly I'm not
understnding how to accomplish this currently - other than to work
around it as above. 

Any input appreciated...

[flexcoders] Why does modifying an ArrayColleciton DataProvider reset headerRenderer?

2007-01-17 Thread patricklemiuex
Hey guys, I have this issue, I just got stopped by one of the people
here and they didn't like the way I implemented a combobox in a custom
headerRenderer.  The issue is that, when you change the
ArrayCollection that's binded to the dataGrid, it resets the combobox,
as if it gets reinitialized.  So the problem is I want to show the
data of This Week by default, when the data is changed, this
property changes, drops back to the first value of the combobox... So,
I had to set a When in my combobox, but I don't want to do that it's
not user friendly, I want to set this so the user can see the value of
time, Week,Month etc.

I'm using an example based on Ben Clinkinbeard's blog.  Can anyone
please explain how to avoid this?  Why does this work this way?  


Any Help, this is something others have noted too...

RE: [flexcoders] Re: title window on app first run

2007-01-17 Thread Battershall, Jeff
Don't have time to write the code for you - but I will give you the
following hints:

1) Your TitleWindow would be a separate MXML component, i.e.,
LoginWindow.mxml.
2) Your app has a 'creationComplete' event which should fire a private
function to popup your TitleWindow.  You can build off the sample code
in the Flex docs. 

Maybe someone else can help more...

[flexcoders] Re: title window on app first run

2007-01-17 Thread jonalexander370
Hi Jeff,

Thank you for your reply.

What sample code in the Flex docs?

I am studying via www.lynda.com.

If you could provide a URL to the Flex docs sample code, this would
most greatly appreciated.

 Don't have time to write the code for you - but I will give you the
 following hints:
 
 1) Your TitleWindow would be a separate MXML component, i.e.,
 LoginWindow.mxml.
 2) Your app has a 'creationComplete' event which should fire a private
 function to popup your TitleWindow.  You can build off the sample code
 in the Flex docs. 
 
 Maybe someone else can help more...

Re: [flexcoders] Slightly OT - The Limitations of CFMX 7.02

2007-01-17 Thread João Fernandes

Try to set a break point in your remote call result event and see what is
returned.
If you run in debugger you might see some information like someobject[]
could not be converted to an ArrayCollection.

Also define your Products property in you AS class as Array and not
ArrayCollection.

  I've been using CFMX 7.02's ability translate CFCs to AS objects but
have noticed the following limitation:

If I have an array of objects (like CFCs) in my CFC/AS class def - these
will not translate over the wire and I'm forced to pull over the array
as a separate remoting request.

Example:
Catalog.cfc has an attribute products of type Product.cfc array.
cfproperty name=Products type=Product[]/
Catalog.as has an ArrayCollection of Product objects, i.e., public var
Products:ArrayCollection.

The rest of the CFC translates perfectly to my AS object instance, but
the ArrayCollection remains null and unpopulated, requiring a second
round trip to retreive the items.

Now I know I might be asking a lot to want direct and complete
translation including nested objects and such and possibly I'm not
understnding how to accomplish this currently - other than to work
around it as above.

Any input appreciated...

Re: [flexcoders] Re: title window on app first run

2007-01-17 Thread Doug McCune

Wow, such intensity for this post.

You've got a click event specified for that button that you have on 
stage that says Login or Register. That click event calls some 
function that calls PopupManager.createPopup, which creates a modal 
popup. All you need to change is to use the creationComplete event of 
the Application, as opposed to the click event of the Button.


So you've got something like mx:Button label=Login or Register 
click=launchPopup(event) /


and just take out the click event and make the application tag look 
something like mx:Application creationComplete=launchPopup(event) /


Cool? Easiest $100 ever made.

[flexcoders] Making a Hover menu with Flex

2007-01-17 Thread missgiggygirl
Hello, I am new to Flex and need a little guidance.  I am not sure
where to look for this, so a little info or pointing my into the right
direction (look in this package/class) would help.

I need to make a hover menu in a Flex App.  Sort of a floating menu
that lets you choose some options, and, if the mouse leaves the area,
disappears.  (Look at the See all 36 Product Categories tab or the
Find Gifts button at www.amazon.com if you don't know what I mean.)

In CSS/Javascript I can accomplish this by using absolute positioning
of an element, making it totally out of the flow of the layout, and
using Z-index, as well as a couple event handlers.

In Flex, well, I don't know where to start.  I have done some
tutorials and searches, but don't see how to have a Canvas be
positioned on a layer above the rest of the document, for instance.

Can someone give me some ideas?

Thanks,
Ann





[flexcoders] source code management and FlexBuilder

2007-01-17 Thread Douglas Knudsen

Ok, we are using CVS to store our code base, ANT to push builds.  yeehaw!
But its a PITA to share code!  I can't get a whole team of developers to use
exactly the same path for their workspace and exactly the same path for Flex
SDK, etc.  FB uses absolute paths in its project config files.  Anyone work
around this any yet unsuccessfully?

[flexcoders] Colspans in Datagrid

2007-01-17 Thread missgiggygirl
Hello,
I know DHTML and am learning Flex, trying to port some of our Web Apps
over to a Flex environment.

Many of the HTML tables we use to display data have irregular headers,
where 3 Headings might themselves be under one heading (using
colspan=3), for instance, and various other non-standard groupings. 
If need be I can provide a link to illustrate.

How would this be accomplished using a Datagrid?  (Or is there another
data table component I should be using?)  I love how easy it is to
tie a Datagrid to XML and have Flex do all the work for me, but
sometimes I need to format the headers (and even a column or two) in
an non-standard manner.

Thanks for any insight you can give. :)

Sincerely,
Ann

Re: [flexcoders] source code management and FlexBuilder

2007-01-17 Thread Daniel Wabyick

I have had some luck with this by setting up Linked Resources ( Windows 
- Preferences -General - Workspace - Linked Resources ), and then 
using these paths in my Flex Project source path

For example, create a Linked Resource  MYPROJECT_SDK, and then add it 
to the Flex project source Path:   ${MYPROJECT_SDK}. This will allow you 
to check in .project files with no relative paths.

Hope this helps!
