You need to escape the xml formatting before sending it to the client.
In cold fusion you could use the XMLFormat() function so if you're using
cf, just wrap that around your return, or find a similar function for
the back end lang you're using.

Subject: [flexcoders] Storing / retrieving rich text

I am trying to develop a method to allow web administrators to be able
to edit text in their Flex application directly in the UI (without
Flex). This text gets saved to mySQL when they close the rich text
editor.  

The data is stored correctly in mySQL however when its retrieved it gets
formated as an XML object when extracted from the event.result.

While this makes it easy to populate the various labels and text objects
with the rich text data. The problem is that the rich text data gets
formatted as XML with new lines and indents. Like in this
dmup

contentLive
  TEXTFORMAT LEADING=2
P ALIGN=CENTER
  FONT FACE=Verdana SIZE=14 COLOR=#FF LETTERSPACING=0
KERNING=0
BThis is /B
FONT COLOR=#0033FF
  B
Ulive content/U
  /B
/FONT
  /FONT
/P
  /TEXTFORMAT
/contentLive

How can I force it to treat it as raw text just like its stored in mySQL
without the formatting ?

That is exactly what you need to do. Create a for loop and get a
handle on each object in the loop. 

Then, set up a method that returns a Boolean if it needs to be flagged.
This method will check the dates. if true, then inside your For loop,
flag the data object.

Note: You can do the conditionals inside the for loop, it's just better
for readability to extract that logic out to another method within the
same class.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: ArrayCollection.filterFunction assigned but returns null

I'd imagine there is something wrong with the logic. The way I think
about filterFunction is that it inspects each
Item in a collection and says yes or no. If it's returning null, the

 One perf test we did in 1.5 was to return three hundred items as

 I am calling a web service that sometimes returns up to 1.9 MB of SOAP
 formatted data. I have left the resultFormat set to object, and it
 seems to handle the initial parsing into anonymous objects without
 much trouble. However, when I attempt to convert this structure into
 class instances the player chokes and usually ends up freezing the
 browser.
 
 The object structure consists of one main Batch object instance, which
 contains 2000 BatchDocument instances, which in turn each contain a
 single ClientInfo object instance and up to four Plan object
 instances. This doesn't seem like a structure that Flex should fail so
 miserably with as the performance everywhere else has been pretty
 impressive. I have attempted this using Darron Schall's

 simply passing the anonymous objects to my class constructors. Both

RE: [flexcoders] how do you call the super's super?

There is no super.super syntax in AS3. What you want can only be done
indirectly, such as through a scheme like this:
 
class A
{
function foo():void { trace(1); }
}
 
class B extends A
{
function $foo():void { super.foo(); }
override function foo() { trace(2) };
}
 
class C extends B
{
// can call $foo() to execute A's foo()
}

RE: [flexcoders] Basic inheritance question

The Developer's Guide is wrong... you won't get a compilation error if
you don't cast. However, casting is best practice so that the compiler
can help you catch coding mistakes. For example,
 
e.currentTarget.setSytle(...)
 
would compile despite the typo, but throw a runtime error. However,
 
Button(e.currentTarget).setSytle(...)
 
would not compile.

In general you always want to cast something like this - because
event.currentTarget is of type object and NOT UIComponent or Button. But
since objects are loosely typed as type Object, then you reference any
property or method you want at compile time. Often at runtime though you
will hit errors unless it is properly casted. Your sample application
was done in Flex 2 right?
 
Definitely a best practice to be casting generic objects like this to
the type of object you want to be working with to avoid runtime errors

Hi,
I'm reading the Developer's Guide and in the section using Events, they
say on a paragraph that :
If you try to call another method on the currentTarget (for example,
the setStyle() method), Flex returns an error. The setStyle() method is
defined on UIComponent, a subclass of DisplayObject. Therefore, you must
cast currentTarget to UIComponent before calling the setStyle() method
for example:
mx:Script
![CDATA[
 import mx.core.UIComponent;

 private function myEventHandler(e:Event):void {
UIComponent(e.currentTarget).setStyle(color, red);
 }
  ]]
/mx:Script

and e.currentTarget is of type Button. But Button extends UIComponent,
so we don't have to upcast the reference because setStyle method is
public and is available to Button object reference0. I tried the code
without upcasting and it works.
Is the writer wrong or Am I missing something on the concept.

Thanks

RE: [flexcoders] Transitions Explanation

The problem is a timing issue. 
 
view states define what and how to change states
transitions define which order visual changes occur during a state
change
You must still take into account the timing of when things are rendered
to the screen
 
On Your problem the button was getting rendered on the screen and then
the effect being applied. To get those fade in's and fade out's to
appear normal you have to trap for them a bit
using the creationCompleteEffect, showEffect and hideEffect. 
 
 
Try this:
 
I took the fadeIn out of the transition and set the effects on button2
and also the visible to false, when the button is rendered to the screen
it's hidden and then I set the visible = true
which applies the fadeIn. The creationCompleteEffect applies the fadeIn
the first time the component is rendered, after that, it uses the
showEffect

RE: [flexcoders] list of events really dispatched by a view

Take a look at the 'events' property of ComponentDescriptor. Each
UIComponent like Canvas and Button has 'descriptor' property for
accessing its UIComponentDescriptor, which extends ComponentDescriptor.
But this will only tell you about event handlers written as MXML
attributes.
 
If you need to know about all event handlers added using AS, I think
you'd have to recompile the framework with an override of
addEventListener() in UIComponent. But then you'll get all the event
handlers that the framework adds as well.
 
BTW, what are you trying to do with this?

RE: [flexcoders] Dispatching an event between 2 classes -

 My class that is adding the event listener is like this :
_caption = new Caption();
 this.addEventListener(MeEvent.STOP,pauseStop);
 and from my calling class:
var evt:MeEvent = new MeEvent(MeEvent.STOP);
 
This code doesn't really give enough detail to diagnose the problem.
What is the relevance of _caption? Is your calling (i.e., dispatching)
class actually calling dispatchEvent(evt)? It's best to post a complete
-- but as small as possible -- app that doesn't work, so we can
determine exactly what the problem is.
 
However, I suspect that the problem is that your listening class is
calling
 
this.addEventListener(MeEvent.STOP, ...)
 
which means that it is listening to a STOP event which is dispatched by
'this' -- i.e., by the listener. But you want your listener to listen
for a STOP event dispatched by your dispatching class, so you want to
call
 
instanceOfDispatchingClass.addEventListener(MeEvent.STOP, ...)
 
In other words, you add listeners to the dispatching object.

 I am implementing the IEventDispatcher class instead of extending the
EventDispatcher class

Why do you need to do that?

 My application uses all actionscript no flex.

IEventDispatcher and EventDispatcher are part of the Flash Player, not

this project, which was going smoothly until this hiccup.

Thanks for your time,

Patrick

from your post...

Only the second class -- the one that dispatches the event by calling 

dispatchEvent() -- needs to extend EventDispatcher. You don't need to be


an EventDispatcher to listen to events.

The dispatching class must declare [Event] metadata if you want to write


listeners in MXML.

If your first class -- the one that listens -- is written in AS, you 

register for the event by calling addEventListener():

instanceOfDispatchingClass.addEventListener(someEventType, 

myEventHandler);

You would normally do this immediately after creating 

instanceOfDispatchingClass.

  Hello all,

How can I access public members of custom MXML component using inline
statemen ?

For example, I have my own MXML component name myComp which has
public members.

How can I access these public member from inling mxml.

In other words, of couse I can do myComp.myMember = ABC;

But I wish to do it not in ActionScript but in MXML ( inline ).

In other words, I wish to do:

myview:MyComp x=100 y=100 myMember=ABC /

In other words, in line MXML ( not in AS ).

I tried using the setter function in myComp, but no luck.

As always, Thank you for all the help and support.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Just curious, A big development team or individual developers

2007-02-28 Thread Roger Gonzalez

Modules were a point-release feature that were released earlier than the
corresponding IDE support so that we could get feedback from the
community about what people wanted.
 
If we had waited to get Module support into FlexBuilder, you wouldn't
have seen Modules until 3.0.
 
Would that have been preferable to you?

Hi,

This does look like a bug with SequenceCommand.

I've been looking at the various options as to how to fix this. I've
never been overly enamoured with SequenceCommand (it wasn't
something we ever used in projects), but there was enough requests
for us to add it.

I suppose my initial question would be around how attached people
are to the current API. We have discussed this here and can see a
better implementation, but that would require changes to existing
code.

So, for the people who use SequenceCommand, how would you feel about
having to change your client code, though it would be a relatively
only small change in each place you use SequenceCommand?

Thoughts?

 Finally, I tried setting it in a handler method in my SC subclass

 a file upload command), on the line right before executeNextCommand

 and that seems to have fixed it.

 It makes me wary of SequenceCommand though, so I am converting any
 classes that subclass it to regular command classes and I will just
 set and dispatch the next event manually. I also tried (very
 briefly) switching to the Cairngorm 2.2 beta SWC and was still

Re: [flexcoders] Basic inheritance question

2007-02-28 Thread Doug McCune

The docs are telling you that event.currentTarget is typed to
DisplayObject, which is higher in the inheritance chain that
UIComponent. So to use setStyle you've got to type-cast
event.currentTarget to either UIComponent, or some type below
UIComponent in the inheritance chain. So typecasting to Button would
work fine as well, but you can't not typecast it and expect to get
access to setStyle, or other methods of UIComponent.

So either:
UIComponent(e.currentTarget).setStyle(color, red);

or:
Button(e.currentTarget).setStyle(color, red);

would work fine, but simply:
e.currentTarget.setStyle(color, red);

wouldn't.

On 2/27/07, jairokan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:








 Hi,
 I'm reading the Developer's Guide and in the section using Events, they say 
 on a paragraph that :
 If you try to call another method on the currentTarget (for example, the 
 setStyle() method), Flex returns an error. The setStyle() method is defined 
 on UIComponent, a subclass of DisplayObject. Therefore, you must cast 
 currentTarget to UIComponent before calling the setStyle() method
 for example:
 mx:Script
 ![CDATA[
  import mx.core.UIComponent;

  private function myEventHandler(e:Event):void {
 UIComponent(e.currentTarget).setStyle(color, red);
  }
   ]]
 /mx:Script

 and e.currentTarget is of type Button. But Button extends UIComponent, so we 
 don't have to upcast the reference because setStyle method is public and is 
 available to Button object reference0. I tried the code without upcasting and 
 it works.
 Is the writer wrong or Am I missing something on the concept.

Subject: [flexcoders] Result to ArrayCollection - somtimes node is single, 
sometimes it's an array









  



When I use an HTTPService result as an ArrayCollection, certain 
nodes 

will be set as a single item or an array depending on the number of 

items in the node.  Is there a simple way to always force a node to an 

array regardless of how many items there are?

Re: [flexcoders] Quick Question: Conditional Operator ?:

2007-02-28 Thread Troy Gilbert


The difference you point out is the only difference.

The trinary operator (?:) is an operator so it can be used in expressions
(it evaluates to something). if/else is control flow and thus does not
evaluate to anything nor can it be used inside of an expression.

For certain situations, it can make the code easier to read and more compact
than a control flow statement. It could possibly make the generated code
faster if only because the byte code is simpler or more compact (more cache
coherent). But I can't imagine it'd make a huge difference.

Personally, I prefer it for the situations you mentioned... whenever I see
if x return y else return z I always think, could this be more concisely
written with the trinary operator?

The place I most often use it, though, is in initialization of variables
passed into function parameters, e.g. this.x = (x) ? x : 0; will set
this.x to x if x is valid (not null, not undefined) otherwise it'll set it
to zero. I'm sure its not an accident that it almost reads like a sentence
with a question mark... ;-)

Troy.

  Hi there,

  I've seen on the mxml remote object a tag that sats:

  showbusycursor=true

  For the actionscript version, (RemoteObject) I can't see an equivelant?

  My code goes like this:

  // call controller to call as remote object
  pageController.getPage(selectedItem); 

  // switch view from a list of records to a record detail
  viewstack1.selectedChild = detail;

  How can I using this kind of detail put a busycursor up during the
  wait period? Do I need to use events? any help would be appreciated.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How can I loop through a Tile ?

2007-02-28 Thread Ciarán

Hi Mark,

What you're trying to accomplish is (don't quote my authority here...)
I think best tackled in Flex with a TileList and a custom
ItemRenderer. You're definitely going into too much depth by altering
component children individually at runtime.

Since there's more than one way to skin a cat, best take a step back
an prepare for a paradigm shift... forget about adding children and
looping through and the like - Flex shouldn't need to follow that kind
of model.

If you need to loop through because your sources are live, you can
schedule a call to one of the invalidation methods in the Flex display
architecture, and thereby have Flex redraw the screen (except you
should override the method so it does your stuff too...)

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Book_Partsfile=ascomponents_advanced_148_16.html

You'll need an understanding of ItemRenderers:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/using_item_renderers/

The basic concepts:

- Any sort of List has a dataProvider.
- A TileList is a sort of List.
- Your dataProvider is normally an Array or ArrayCollection of items

- A list has a default ItemRenderer which renders the items in the
dataProvider (ordinarily extracting values from the label and data
properties of objects in the dataProvider's ArrayList)

- Your dataProvider can be a collection of *any object type*
(in your case, I'd recommend creating a class that contains all the
data relevant to each pair of image/text)

- At render-time (to coin a term), an itemRenderer has it's content
dropped into it. Flex will populate the with the TileList with
itemRenderers, and set the data property on each itemRenderer. Flex
loops over the dataProvider of the list, passing in one object at a
time.

- Each itemRenderer can now see one item (whatever is passed in) of
the dataProvider (one instance of your custom class) in it's local
scope as the data property if your itemRenderer is MXML. If it's
ActionScript, you can override the data setter.

So in your case, create a TileList with a columnWidth of 1.
Each item in your TileList dataProvider should be of a custom type
(create whatever type is necessary to store the data relating to each
image and it's text).
Put all your data into an ArrayCollection and bind it to the TileList
dataProvider
Create a custom itemRenderer in MXML (a VBox with an Image on one
side, labels on the other) - bind it's properties (i.e. the image
source, the label text, to the object you expect to be dropped in via
the data property).

If you need any more detailed modifications, look into creating your
itemRenderer with ActionScript.

This is an abstract of a wide range of concepts, so you may have to
look round a bit on docs, blogs and the like, to find examples of
similar stuff (there's plenty out there).

It seems the main thing would be to change the approach your taking
(if I'm making the right assumptions about what you're trying to do).

Best Regards,
Ciarán

Very simple app - 2 buttons.

Loop Through Children - Will loop through tile1.numChildren - printing
each name into the textarea.
But HOW can I get hold of the names of the images (and even more,

I need this to be able to loop through each item, check if the source
has been updated, and if so, reload the image.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex not sending over SSL

2007-02-28 Thread Allen Riddle

We are using the Proxy Services, so those destinations are set up using
http. We are using web and app server pairs. Apache is the web server
serving up the swf on port 443. We route requests the the swf makes
(rootContext/messagebroker/http requests) to the app server, which is
our data services app. At that point, the requests should be decrypted
before it hits the app server and I would think it would be able to
handle that endpoint destination being over http.

Are you sure that the wsdl path you have specified on the webservice

Flash Player with HTTP hardcoded in it.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex not sending over SSL

Hello all, we are setting up our production environment for our Flex
Data Services app. According to the Apache logs, all requests that the
swf makes for images,css, etc is in fact going over ssl. However when
the .swf invokes a  web service (using proxy endpoints/destinations),
the request is using /messagebroker/http, and does not appear to be
going over ssl (we know this because there is no ssl or tsa entry on the
line in the log file, as there is for images and css files). If the swf
is being served up on 443, shouldn't all communication through the swf
be going over port 443. I guess another way to ask is, do the requests
from the swf use relative pathing, and by default be going over
https/443? I hope I'm explaining the problem well enough. Thanks.

[flexcoders] FDS port in biggest disadvantage in Flex?

2007-02-28 Thread marcel.panse

Because flex uses another port for FDS instead of 80... A lot of users
have firewalls installed and cant use ports other than 80 or have to
adjust there firewalls. I work at a company who just can't use other
ports..
When using FDS you exclude a lot of users from your application (and
thus potential customers). So you just cant create like a webshop
using FDS or some helpdesk at a company which restricts ports other
then 80.

Another problem is you have to specify an new port for every flex
application you host on your server. Every webapp needs its own fds
port. So you have to forward who ranges of ports in you firewalls and
systems..

I am a big fan of flex, but this would be a problem if i start selling
flex to client (like big insurance agency's or large companies)
because it is just not acceptable to exclude users from accessing your
site..

So FDS usefull or not? (or maybe there is some way to fix this issue,
that i dont know about?)

Hi all,

In my project, I need to draw some shapes in a canvas and rotate them in
any direction. I've found some topics related to rotating in the help
content of flex builder 2, that I can enter a value of rotate degrees

mouse movement to rotate them, just like I rotate a shape object in MS

Is this possible with flex? And if so, how can I implement this? Thanks

You can do the following:
   Within the remote call method, you can add the following as the first

CursorManager.setBusyCursor();
   Next, within the method's result handler, add the following line once you
get resultstatus as true (I mean once data retreival is successful):
CursorManager.removeAllCursors();

  You'll have to include the CursorManager class for the above.

You could make them disabled, but change the disabled styles so it does
not look quite so disabled. Or trap the click event and stop the user
action at that point.

[flexcoders] JEE5 web application glassfish EJB Hibernate....how use it by fds and flex?

2007-02-28 Thread lruinelli

Hello,


I have a JEE5 web application based on EJB and Hibernate.
for each entity I have:
- an Hibernate mapping
- a java class
- a controller of the java class (with method to create, modify, ecc
the entity)
- a controllerLocalInterface 
- a controllerRemoteInteface

example for entity Year...i have:
- Year.hbm.xml
- Year.java
- YearControllerBean.java (Year createYear()...updateYear(Year y)...ecc)
- YearControllerLocal.java
- YearRemoteLocal.java


...a java client has the following structures (it works fine!):

public class TestClient {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();

YearControllerRemote yc =(YearControllerRemote)
ic.lookup(YearControllerRemote.class.getName());
Year anno = yc.createYear();
anno.setValue(2013);
yc.updateYear(anno);

...
}


How to perform something like this with fds2 and flex...I see an
article on:

http://weblogs.macromedia.com/pmartin/archives/2006/08/ejb_and_flex_in.cfm

and I based my fds and my client on this (using the given
flex-ejb-factory.jar and configuring remoting-config.xml and
service-config.xml as described)
 
remoting-config.xml:
destination id=MyEJB
 properties

/destination

and service-config.xml:
factories 
 factory id=ejb3 class=com.adobe.ac.ejb.EJB3Factory /
/factories


In the client side I have a YearControllerBean.as and a Year.as 

...my flex client (as entry point I use a remoteObject which point the
org.seamless_ip.ontologies.farm.YearControllerBean):


mx:RemoteObject id=ro destination=MyEJB
/mx:RemoteObject

private function initApp():void
{
year = Year(ro.retrieveYear(1));

}



...but the following error occours:
type Coercion failed: cannot convert mx.rpc::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to Year.

Could someone please help me...giving me tricks or interesting link,

[flexcoders] crossdomain? image dragging

2007-02-28 Thread Paul Hastings

we're getting some user complaints about some functionality based on
drag  drop of an image. for servers in domains local to them, works a
treat. for servers in remote domains it appears the drag image can't
be retrieved  they're getting the broken image instead when dragging.
what's puzzling us is that we can load images from those remote
domains w/out any problems:

theMap.load(mapResults.mapSrc);

where mapResults.mapSrc consists of a URL pointing at the image we
want to display which works fine for all servers. only the drag
operations seem broken.

any ideas?

thanks.

[flexcoders] passing lists of DTO's, client-side AS class not getting compiled

2007-02-28 Thread sgrosven2

We are working on a set of data transfer objects where we have 
matching server-side java classes and client-side AS classes.  Some 
of these DTO contain lists of other DTOs.  As an example:

A.java:
public class A {
   
   ListB blist
   ...
}

In A.as we have...
class A {
   
   public var blist : ArrayCollection;
   

And we have B.java and B.as

Then we have a RemoteObject call to pull down a bunch of A 
objects

Here's the problem, Flex does not compile B.as at build-time.

So if B.as has a compiler problem, you never know about it, except 
that the 'blist' in A never gets populated.   If you break down the 
data transfer and debug it.  You find that during RemoteObject call, 
the blist data comes down the wire, but as an ArrayCollection 
generic Objects, they never get turned into instances of Bs... 

I am guessing that this is happening because at compile time, there 
is not direct reference to B in the clientside project.  Our 
covering .mxml wants one or more A objects, and inside A the blist 
is an ArrayCollection.  So the compiler doesn't see a reference to 
B.. 

So anyone know how we can fairly seamlessly make sure B.as gets 
compiled at build time so we'd know of compiler issues with it 
rather than spending lots of time debugging mysterious null values?

(This appears to happen whether the project is set to compile on the 
client-side or the server-side.  We are using Flex and FDS 2.0.1 and 
Java 1.5)

RE: [flexcoders] Basic inheritance question

2007-02-28 Thread Jamal Romero

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Yes that's what I wanted to
say. The code will compile, I've tried it on
www.flex.org online compiler and it did what expected
without error. I think the compiler is not strict
about type reference. But as has been said, it's
better to type cast to the right ancestor or
descendent an call the appropiate method. As coming
from java land the java compiler won't tolerate this
error if it is an error. When I get the target from
the event it's not even a UIComponent, it's as been
said an Object type. Anyway I'm still learning Flex.
Java Swing id too slow, but I must say it wasn't a
wast of time. It is a very elegant architecture but
the problem is too slow. All the concept reading the
Develp. Guide are familiar to me because they all
implemented in Java Swing.
Thanks

 In general you always want to cast something like
 this - because
 event.currentTarget is of type object and NOT
 UIComponent or Button. But
 since objects are loosely typed as type Object, then
 you reference any
 property or method you want at compile time. Often
 at runtime though you
 will hit errors unless it is properly casted. Your
 sample application
 was done in Flex 2 right?
  
 Definitely a best practice to be casting generic

 Hi,
 I'm reading the Developer's Guide and in the section
 using Events, they
 say on a paragraph that :
 If you try to call another method on the
 currentTarget (for example,
 the setStyle() method), Flex returns an error. The
 setStyle() method is
 defined on UIComponent, a subclass of DisplayObject.
 Therefore, you must
 cast currentTarget to UIComponent before calling the
 setStyle() method
 for example:
 mx:Script
 ![CDATA[
  import mx.core.UIComponent;
 
  private function myEventHandler(e:Event):void {

 UIComponent(e.currentTarget).setStyle(color,
 red);
  }
   ]]
 /mx:Script
 
 and e.currentTarget is of type Button. But Button
 extends UIComponent,
 so we don't have to upcast the reference because
 setStyle method is
 public and is available to Button object reference0.
 I tried the code
 without upcasting and it works.
 Is the writer wrong or Am I missing something on the
 concept.
 
 Thanks

[flexcoders] Getting a Third-Party Component into Builder 2?

Hey Matt-
 
I would never even try 10,000 objects in a strongly typed result set because of 
the performance. But I think the bigger key factor here is how deeply nested 
your strongly typed objects are. In the example I gave in my reply, it was a

[flexcoders] Re: Flex choking while converting less than 2 MB of data

2007-02-28 Thread Paul DeCoursey

I'd say 10,000 objects is a lot to process in a single result, I'm of
the opinion that this kind of thing should be paginated and processed
in a queue, then Flash won't choke on it.  It will take multiple
requests but then you give the user the opportunity to know what is
going on and cancel it if they want.  Remember if a script takes too
long, like more than a few milliseconds, then the interface won't be
updating.  When you get into the seconds time frame then the app will
become unresponsive, and the browser might start throttling the plugin.

   I'm pleased to announce FlexLib: a new open-source
 project for
 Flex 2
   components. This project is a Google Code hosted
 project,
 released
   under the MIT license. I've been working with
 Darron Schall,
 Mike
   Chambers and Ted Patrick to get the project up and
 running.
 We're
   hoping to build a concentrated community effort for
 custom Flex
   component development.
   
   Have you been looking for a community project to
 contribute to?
 Do you
   have custom components you've been releasing on
 your blog? Want
 to
   brainstorm about new and improved components?
   
   The project currently contains a handful of
 components that have
 been
   developed by me or Darron (including some new ones
 I haven't
 blogged
   about yet). We want to get the Flex developer
 community involved
 and
   have a central resource that will help us all build
 off each
 other's
   work. To get involved take a look at the project
 page on google
 code
   (link below) and read the HowToContribute wiki
 page.
   
   For more information read through the project
 website, join the

I belive there was a post from Adobe asking if anyone wanted to try a new

 Another problem is you have to specify an new port for every flex
 application you host on your server. Every webapp needs its own fds
 port. So you have to forward who ranges of ports in you firewalls and

You could then use a reverse web proxy to send the requests to the correct

The only way to have an AVM1 and AVM2 swf communicate is through a

No idea how large the FusionCharts API is, but if all you need is to call a

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Right Aligned Text in a UIComponent

What do you mean by making the x location the right side? If this is a canvas, 
then just set right equal to 0 if you just want the text box to be as far to 
the right as possible in the container.
 
You could also set the x to equal parent.width - 100. Does that solve what you

[flexcoders] Re: FDS with Java Question: Why is it grouping requests?

2007-02-28 Thread billy_d_white

I think I'm just not closing or committing something correctly because
it looks like I'm supposed to do something else besides revertChanges to
'clear-out' the previous (failed) request.

I've added this change and it did remove part of the problem.  But now
I'm in a sort of limbo.  Take for example a deletion of a course subject
using deleteItem().

Previously, I would delete 'Art' which should cause an error.  It works
fine and returns the correct error code from the serverside.  Then I
would delete 'Science' but it would still be trying to delete 'Art' on
the backend.  Using revertChanges() fixed this issue.

However, now I'm getting 2 fault events on the clientside for each
deleteItem() call after the first call.  So I can delete 'Art' and
things work great (it shows me the serverside error code when the delete
fails.)   But when I try to delete 'Science', it works correctly on the
backend (trying to delete Science and returning the error code), but on
the client side, I get TWO fault events.  Oddly enough, the tokens
contained inside both of these FaultEvents have the correct server side
error code (Cannot delete Science) but the body property of the first
token still has a reference to the 'Art' object, while the second one
has the 'Science' object in the body property.  Even more interesting,
from this point on, I will always get 2 faultEvents and no more.  It is
not adding a return event for each call, but rather it is treating them
like a stack of 2 with the previous event being removed and the latest
even being added.  I always get 2 with the first having the previous
subject value in the body property.

Any ideas?


--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Jeff Vroom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 When you get the fault for the first delete, you probably just need to
 call revertChanges - either for all changes or just that item.  
After
 any fault, all messages you commit as part of that batch get reverted
-
 i.e. put back into the uncommitted list.  When you revert them, we'll
 undo those changes - i.e. recreate the deleted item.  This is

 Subject: [flexcoders] FDS with Java Question: Why is it grouping

 Maybe Vroom or one of you other FDS experts can tell my what I'm doing
 wrong :

 I'm using Cairngorm with a Java/Spring backend. I'm using autocommit
 and autosync enabled and when I perform a deleteItem which I want to
 fail, it calls my Java assembler which attempts the deletion and
 fails. I customize the error message and send it back as a
 MessageException. So far so good.

 However, if I then try another deletion, the request is sent to the
 assembler with an array of inside the DataMessage and this array
 contains the previous delete request as well as the new delete
 request. Apparently it is trying to batch the multiple requests since
 the previous one failed. (These are stored in that _token_chain_
 property of the request) How do I avoid this and make each deletion
 request atomic so it will not attempt to execute the previous (failed)
 request? Do I need to re-write the service call on the client to use
 the manual commit() call or something like that?

[flexcoders] Re: any interest in an alternative to QTP to automate Flex apps?

2007-02-28 Thread brian.knorr


If you are interested we can collaborate on creating this...we are
taking a similar tdd approach to automating flex apps.  We too
explored using the automation package and found some useful
functionality, but we still intend to abstract this to a higher level
api so one can write test scripts using AS3 and never have to deal
with the automation packages.  Currently we are experimenting with
using asunit and flexunit as our test runner...no need to reinvent the
wheel here.  The one thing that they both lack though is a mechanism
to handle async events in the setUp method.

Also since the Flash Player is single threaded, everything is event
based.  Which doesn't work very well with procedural scripts. 
Basically you end up have to pass in continuation functions all over
the place which is very messy.  Currently we are working with the

get around this issue.

Can your school assignment only be completed on your own, or can you
collaborate with others in an open source project?  We have already
created a project on sourceforge to house the new framework.  Would
you like to join us in this endeavor?

 Hi, I am a last year student at Norwegian University of Science and
 Technology and in my assignment I will try to make an open source
 framework for functional testing of flex applications.
 
 I have been playing a bit with the automation in Flex and is capable
 to record event, even though I do not need that, because I am going to
 have an Test Driven Development approach for this framework.
 
 But one thing that I have not managed is to programatically drive the
 Flex application. What methods in the automation package do you use, I
 have tried the replay event stuff, but does not get any response?
 
 Do you have any pointers?

  out.  I see that I can drive the Flex UI through the automation events
  programmatically...I did a little test and it seems to work so far.  I
  will continue looking into leveraging the automation classes found in
  the SDK.  I still plan on creating a scripting layer that abstracts
  folks from having to do event based logic.  But why do I need FDS?  It
  seems to work fine so far without it.

   FDS requirement first: it is a licensing requirement; it is not a
   technical requirement.  And the license is that you need to pay
 for one
   FDS CPU license per tester seat.  That license could be Departmental
   (list $6k) or Enterprise.  So if you're looking to create a tool
that
   can be used for free by the testers, the automation framework is
   probably not for you.  But if you're just looking to avoid using QTP
   then this could give you a big head start.
   

   
   We are working on documentation for writing an agent.  That has been
   slower to come out because it's primarily ISV/partners who are
   interested in building agents.  When the docs are ready we'll post
 them.
   

   
   I think it is fair to say that playback is essentially what you
 need to
   support scripting, even if you don't need recording.  QTP for
example
   records actions into scripts, then the tool plays the script back
 and we
   turn those into the playback commands.  You can do the same thing.
   Either you can write to the automation framework directly with
events,
   or you could write some layer that takes your own scripting
calls and
   generates the automation events for you.  The automation
framework is
   written in AS and exposes classes, methods, and events, so it is
 capable
   of being used programmatically.

   Is there any documentation on building an adapter to use the
   automation packages? I browsed through the source of the classes in
   the automation package and it appears to support the record and
   playback model of testing, which in my opinion what you want to
avoid.
   Can the automation package be leveraged for programmatically
   controlling the Flex components like you would do in a tool like
   Watir, Watij, or Jemmy? Is FDS absolutely required to build on
top of
   this system?

[flexcoders] Re: Right Aligned Text in a UIComponent

2007-02-28 Thread Nate Pearson

Yes I mean aligned right.  The x to equal parent.width - 100 doesn't
work because the text is dynamic.  Some times it will have a width of
10 and some times it will be 90.  I just set it to 100 because I know
it will never go over 100.

Maybe there is a parameter that will make the label width flex with
the amount of text in it?  Then i could do x = parent.width -
label.width.  I couldn't find this parameter though.

solve what you are asking?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Right Aligned Text in a UIComponent

You could grab the actual width of the label or you could put the label in a 
container like an HBox and set the horizontalAlign=right on the HBox. Set the 
width of the HBox to 100 if that is the max. Then set the x property or right 
style on the HBox as stated below.

[flexcoders] Custom Collection Sorting Challenge


Hi all,

more questions on custom collection sorting... I have a
XMLListCollection dataprovider, which I am sorting using a sort object.
The sorting works as expected, when I use the following syntax to define
the array of SortFields:

aSort.fields = [sfSortField, sfLevel];

However, I would like to assemble the fields array dynamically,
depending on column position, or what have you, so my first thought was
to use the array.push() method to add the individual SortFields, but
this fails without an exception being thrown...

i = aSort.fields.push(sfSortField);
i = aSort.fields.push(sfLevel);

Any ideas? Thanks

[flexcoders] Announcing FlexLib - open source flex component library

2007-02-28 Thread Doug McCune

I'm pleased to announce FlexLib: a new open-source project for Flex 2
components. This project is a Google Code hosted project, released
under the MIT license. I've been working with Darron Schall, Mike
Chambers and Ted Patrick to get the project up and running. We're
hoping to build a concentrated community effort for custom Flex
component development.

Have you been looking for a community project to contribute to? Do you
have custom components you've been releasing on your blog? Want to
brainstorm about new and improved components?

The project currently contains a handful of components that have been
developed by me or Darron (including some new ones I haven't blogged
about yet). We want to get the Flex developer community involved and
have a central resource that will help us all build off each other's
work. To get involved take a look at the project page on google code
(link below) and read the HowToContribute wiki page.

For more information read through the project website, join the
discussion group, and email me if you have more questions. If you want
to contribute your code, drop us a line and we'll get you involved.

FlexLib project page: http://code.google.com/p/flexlib

[flexcoders] Message board

2007-02-28 Thread avincen4

hello.. Im some what new to flex and for my first project I'd like to
make a message board using flex.. If there are any message boards that
were made using flex 2, it would be great just to get an idea of how
the  structure of the application was done.

[flexcoders] Charting: Changing marker size for just one legend item

2007-02-28 Thread jeanette_stallons

Hi
I have another charting question. Is there a way to change the marker
size for just one legend item without having to make the entire legend
from scratch using mx:LegendItem tags? If possible, I still want to
use my chart as a dataProvider for the legend.
Thanks!
