Re: [flexcoders] Re: Does Flex work with Java without FDS?
Charles, Thank you for your response. You already know what my next question is? How did you do this magic? Do you have an example or can you point to one?

Re: [flexcoders] Ogg Vorbis Tremor in AS3?
I'd love to see a way to get this working, although assumed it was not possible. Are the sound classes in AS3 open source? Could they be used as a base for an Ogg Vorbis decoder? The question that comes to mind is, why bother? Just use an mp3! I actually have an answer, for those wondering. Despite popular belief, the mp3 format is neither open nor free. When I last researched it, the decoder was free, but the encoder had to be licensed. The Flash player didn't encode mp3s, so therefore there was no licensing issue involved there. It looks like this has changed at some point, and now the decoder must be licensed. http://www.mp3licensing.com/royalty/software.html In theory that means that Adobe is paying a price for each Flash Player download. I suspect this was also why mp3 was left out of the Soundbooth beta on labs. If you start a business selling mp3s, they also take a cut ( http://www.mp3licensing.com/royalty/emd.html ) . I would theorize that this licensing fee is why iTunes did not use the mp3 format, but rather ACC. I looked into this a while back, and even submitted a feature request that Flash Player support Ogg. Nothing came of it, presumably because of lack of demand. I'd love to attempt to this; feeling adventurous? Is this my first list post?

[flexcoders] Re: DataService fill not filling on first try? timing issue?
Continuing in the tradition of replying to my own posts when I find
the solution...
I found the issue is caused by the fill method being processed
asynchronously to the actionscript execution (duh!) I didn't know
that obviously ;)
I just moved my code that processes the returned object into an event
handler that gets called when a result is returned by the fill...
So one question, is there a way to avoid filling the first array
collection and just dealing with the object that is returned in the
ResultEvent?
it looks like this (it's ugly):
private function getAdminOption(username:String):void
{
var theUser:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection;
ID_USERS.addEventListener(result, processAdminOption);
ID_USERS.fill(theUser,IdUser.single,[username]);
}
private function processAdminOption(event: ResultEvent):void
{
if (event.result.length != 0)
{
if (event.result[0].administratorGroupKey == 1)
{
currentState='AdminOption';
}
else
{
currentState='';
}
}
else
{
currentState='';
}
}
cheers,
JK

[flexcoders] Re: Launching FlexBuilder from multiple User accounts
Hi Tom: Thanks for the feedback. Both user accounts have admin priveleges -- the group for the Flex Builder files is admin. This sits in an Application directory next to the Users directory. So, I dunno! I was able to install Flex Builder inside the second user account. I then made symbolic links from most of the resources in this install to the higher one. Using that technique I only had 3.1 MB of non-linked resources (which would cause the error if I tried to link them). Not the most elegant solution, but it works!

RE: [flexcoders] Posting PNG to server
If you are using AMF3 (RemoteObject), you can serialize binary data
without any conversion. If you are trying a standard HTTP post, I would
use a HTTPService with the method= POST. Then you have to Base64
encode the binary data and attach it to the parameters of the http
service. On the server side, you will need to decode the base64 encoded
data back into binary.
Example:
mx:HTTPService
id=httpService
showBusyCursor=true
useProxy=false
method=POST
resultFormat=text
url=/BinaryData/cf/HTTPImageSave.cfm
result=onResult('Data Saved via mx:HTTPService')
fault=onFault(event) /
private function base64Encode( data : ByteArray ) : String
{
var encoder : Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
encoder.encodeBytes( data );
return encoder.flush();
}
private function sendData() : void
{
var data : ByteArray = encoder.encode( myPngByteArray );
var params : Object = { data : base64Encode( data ) };
httpService.send( params );
}
In ColdFusion, you can decode the base64 data simply by using the
toBinary function. Other languages have similar functions as well.
Just a FYI... using the JPG instead of PNG requires significantly less
bandwidth time to post the data to the server. Base64 encoding the
data also increases the size of the data being transferred across the
wire. It is much more efficient to use a remoteObject method with
JPG-compressed data.

RE: [flexcoders] HTTPService Vs WebService
Web services use the SOAP protocol and the wsdl file in order to provide anonymous third parties with information about the interface. So you can easily consume a web service, without any other knowledge of the service or documentation. HTTPService is simpler, but to use an HTTPService source you will need to know, via documentation, or looking at the code if you control it, what it requires as input and what it will output. If you control both server and client, and you do not plan to make your data service accessible to outside third parties, then HTTPService is a good option. It is very easy to build xml on the server, in almost any server language. It is simple string or dom manipulation. And some data bases make it even easier (FOR XML AUTO). Creating a Web service is more complicated. There is a significant learning curve. If you do not plan to make your service publicly available, you do not need the complexity. Also, the SOAP protocol adds some bulk to the data passed down the wire, but in my experience this a minor consideration compared to the business issues.

So, I figured I could wrap the BitmapData in a BitmapAsset (which implements IFlexDisplayObject) and everything would be fine. But its not. I just got a black box for the proxy. Looking at the drag proxy source code, it looks like it takes the proxy and makes it a child of a UIComponent (a popup)... again, from reading about the BitmapAsset, it looks like it implements all the right classes for this to work. So, I tried keeping the image controls that worked and trying to feed it a bitmap.

[flexcoders] organizing projects in eclipse and publishing source
I have a question regarding what people do in terms of project organization and distribution of source code for publication (say on a blog). Here's my scenario: I've got a bunch of AS components, I would like to keep them all in one main Flex Library project, they're all part of the same top-level package. Now, what I'd like to do is be able to keep all the components I create in the same project, then create individual projects for the examples of how to use the components. So say I have Component A and Component B. The AS code for both components remains in my Library project. Now I want to blog about how I made Component A and I want to include an MXML example of how to use the component. What I want to publish is the source of the MXML file, along with the sources of the classes that I used for the example. So I want to include the MXML file and the source of Component A, but not the source of Component B. Ideally I'd like to be able to say Publish Source on my MXML project and specify that I want to include the source of certain classes in my Library Project. While in reality, the Flex compiler may be using the compiled SWC of the Library Project, I want to make it look like the component classes are within the MXML project when I publish the source. Am I making sense? One thought I had for my MXML project, instead of adding the SWC or the Library project to my build path, maybe I can add the directory of my Library project as an external source location for my MXML project. But if you link to a external source then Flex Builder doesn't let you include those external AS classes when you try to Publish Source. Also, I'd like to be able to easily make individual SWC files out of various classes, all of which are contained in the same Library Project. So instead of just always having one SWC file for a library project, I'd like to say, make a SWC file called SliderComponent.SWC and include certain specified classes, then make a SWC called AnimatedGifLoader.SWC and include different specified classes. Maybe the best I'm going to get is to file feature requests with Adobe and hope they get incorporated into FB 3 or later.

Finally, I tried setting it in a handler method in my SC subclass (its a file upload command), on the line right before executeNextCommand() and that seems to have fixed it.

[flexcoders] Re: Module subclass issue
Hi Roger,
thanks for your answer.
Actually I didn't set the application domain of the modules i was
loading so i believe your diagnose could be right, since I was
actually loading these modules inside another module, that itself was
loaded in the mainapp (without changing any application domains anywhere).
What I did for the moment because of a pretty tight deadline, is
converting the block modules to components that are then embedded in
larger modules that are loaded in the main app. That works fine, even
if i would have liked to have every block in separated modules, but
the deadline being very close, I had to take action quickly :)
On the other hand, the first issue i posted about returned to the
surface :
Main application is loading a bunch of swf's that define classes that
all inherit from the same super class.
When playing the app with the debug player, it throws #1074 errors for
each component, because apparently it tries to overwrite the already
defined superclass.
I load the swf's using a pretty classic approach
ldr = new Loader();
context = new LoaderContext();
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
ldr.load(url, context); // url is an URLRequest instance
any idea what could be causing that error? I remember you said
something about looking at the externs options of the compiler... I
took a look but I have to admit i'm still unsure about what to do in
this case :)
Anyway, thanks a lot for your help, have a nice weekend :)

If so, then the two interfaces are unrelated (even though they have the

of the main app. (I assumed that you were - is the ready event
handler you cite defined in the parent? If so, I'd think it would be

Dump out a link-report for each of the things that you're compiling and

Hello,
I finally decided to port an existing development towards the
new
Modules architecture, and i am facing a pretty tough issue here.
I have a bunch of modules, that all extend BlockModule, which is
a
Module subclass that itself implements the IBlockModule
interface.
BlockModule and IBlockModule are in a library that the modules
project
includes.
Apparently, everything compiles fine, so far so good.
But now, in my application, I load these modules (using
ModuleLoader),
and, when ready, try to set a symbol property on these
modules.
Using the target property of the ModuleEvent, I correctly find
the
modules. But, in order to be able to set the symbol property,
I need
to cast them as IBlockModule.
And, that simply doesn't work.
Here is what my ready event listener looks like :
private function blockReady( pEvt:ModuleEvent ) : void
{
var ml:ModuleLoader = pEvt.target as ModuleLoader;
var block:IBlockModule = ml.child as IBlockModule;
trace (ml.child); // output is correct
trace (block); // null (apparently, the casting failed)
if( block != null) {
block.symbol = symbol;
}
}
From what my googling tells me, I believe it might be an issue
with
the shared library But I honestly have no clue of what
precisely
(everything seems correct to me) nor of how I could solve this.
If anyone has an idea, i would love to hear it :)
cheers,
J.

[flexcoders] LiveDocs, Release Notes?
Hi all, I have read the Flex 2 documentation like my morning paper since beta, but my question is since the new 2.0.1 updater rolled out and there is a new /201 docs out there - is there any place I can see where things have changed in the docs instead of having to read through and say Oh, that's new! Thanks!
[flexcoders] Re: Modules and Cairngorm
I posted a reply to this about 90 minutes ago through the Yahoo site and my message still has not appeared (even though other new messages have, whats up mods?), so I will post again. I am getting the exact same error message. It seems odd that we are receiving those path references that are nonexistent on our machines: C:\dev\swat\projects\ac_emea\Cairngorm\com\adobe\cairngorm\commands \SequenceCommand.as, etc. Anyone have any idea how to solve or even effectively debug?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 3.0 - What happened to letting Flex 2 bed in?
We don't know right now what the exact behavior of Flex Builder 2 will be if you try to pair it with a later version of the SDK. For example, Design View may break if we refactor some framework code (in implementation, not interface) as we set things up for other features. But the AS3 language won't be changing, and it's still Player 9, so the fundamentals should still work. I don't expect that you'd be able to pair FB2 with a new compiler though, so if we add any MXML language features you may not be able to leverage them. To be very honest, backwards compatibility for apps in an SDK is more important to us than a newer SDK working on an older FB. With that said, one thing that we are investigating is making sure that you can use a newer version of FB with older projects, so you don't have to keep old copies of FB around.

Quick question regarding updates to the framework, new components, etc. If the SDK remains free then in theory we'd be able to use our existing Flex Builder 2 to use any updated components or new ones that are added to the framework, right? You obviously wouldn't get the changes that are made to Flex Builder itself (all the stuff mentioned about workflow, productivity, etc). But any new components should be fairly straight forward to get working in FB 2?

[flexcoders] Re: HTTP Request Error and long strings
Tracy,
Your last suggestion did the trick. I was able to send my large
string using by sending the data in the body, not the url. For the
list, here is the fix to my problem.
Tracy writes:
I believe that when the message body is empty, Flex always uses GET.
And when you put your data on the url, you are using the querystring
and not the body.
Instead. use the naked url, and in AS, do:
var oRequest:Object = new Object();
oRequest.data = { ...large JSON data sring ...}
JSONSaveCollection.send(oRequest); // call to the HTTPService

Thanks again Tracy... :D

Subject: [flexcoders] HTTP Request Error and long strings
There seems to be a size limit the value you set on the url propery
for a Flex HTTPService call, around 12000 characters (12KB?). Could
there be maxrequestlength setting in a config file for Flex 2 some
place that we can adjust the limit?
When we send a JSON string on with the HTTP service that is over 12000
characters we receive the following error message:
Error: [RPC Fault faultString=HTTP request error
faultCode=Server.Error.Request faultDetail=Error: [IOErrorEvent
type=ioError bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text=Error
#2032: Stream Error. URL: [...12716 character string...]
We tested this on both IE 7 and Firefox. I don't think this is a
browser post limit as we have other non-Flex applications that post
that many characters.

Re: [flexcoders] Command-line compiler Java errors
I would check what version of Java you're running the class in. I suspect that you are using an older or incorrect version of Java and the flex compiler jars are not compatible with it. I can't remember what 48.0 is. Do any of the Adobe folks know what version of Java was used to compile the released compiler jars? Christian.
