[flexcoders] Apollo SDK
Hi All, I have a very basic question about getting started with Apollo. I downloaded Apollo SDK zip and checked out its content. It contains : 1) bin - all exe's to compile from command line 2) Frame work - swc's and action script classes 3) lib - contains jar 4) runtime - dll's 5) samples - sample application 6) src - contains application Now, I am using flex builder to develop flex application. After reading document , I understood that i need to install the Apollo extension for flex builder. But can I not work with flex builder and Apollo sdk? and how do I install apollo runtime from SDK zip. Is it neccessary to download Apollo extension for flex builder if i want to develop Apollo application. Can I not make to work by copy pasting the files form Apollo SDK to particular locations or something like that. Please guide me. Regards Ps
[flexcoders] Re: Urgent call for Flex Portlet (Flex Taglibs) specialists (James Ward, help!)
Sorry for having been so impatient, my bad... Firstly, thanks to
everyone who's put in so many hours to bring us these technologies, I
hope you had as much fun making it as I have using it.
Matt, I can wait 48 hours, anything to get this technology in. I
just really want it to work; 1 - Because I think it's fantasic, 2 -
I'm a technology junky, 3 - It's above all, the best possible
solution. Please drop a post when you guys have something, I'm
holding my breath...
Jeff, my portlet is real simple, I tested using a simple .mxml page,
in which case I got the generateSwfCacheKey error, and then I used
Flah Taglibs in a .jsp, and got the generateJspCacheKey error. To
confirm, I just editied the .jsp and changed its contents
to Hello..., and the portlet displayed it perfectly. As soon as
you start using the mxml tags in the .jsp it goes bottoms-up.
Portlet code below (I will wait for Matt's response on the 48
hour new stuff)
package com.test;
import javax.portlet.PortletRequestDispatcher;
public class Test extends javax.portlet.GenericPortlet
{
public void doView(javax.portlet.RenderRequest request,
javax.portlet.RenderResponse response)
throws javax.portlet.PortletException,
java.io.IOException
{
response.setContentType(text/html);
PortletRequestDispatcher rd =
getPortletContext().getRequestDispatcher
(/ftest/index.jsp);
//ftest/index.mxml
rd.include(request,response);
}
}

I'm not sure why this is happening unfortunately. In both of those
stack traces, the line of code looks like:
String uri = request.getRequestURL().toString();
So either request is null or the request.getRequestURL() method is
returning null? I'm not sure why either of those would happen.

[flexcoders] Flex dates
Hi guys, I am new to flex and have been having a huge learning curve. So be gentle. I'm kinda new to REAL OO. But I know CF very well. So with that said I'm stuck on dates. I am trying to format a date coming out of a database so it will look pretty. i.e. dd/mm/ I have an mx:datefield id=DateIn text=remoteService.qryDrawdown.lastResult[0].DateIn formatString=DD/MM//mx:datefield Now I know that the formatString paramater does that for when you choose it but how do you format it coming out of the database. Currently its Tue Feb 28 00:00:00 GMT etc etc. I found the mx:dateFormater tag but haven't been able to get it working correctly. Any Advise would be great!! Jeremy
Re: [flexcoders] Flex dates
Formatter will do that only for displaying your date. And how it comes out of database depends on database interface. In general you receive some standardized date/time. If you want to get specifically formatted date out of the database you should ask database to do it. Though I can't imagine why one may need that kind of formatting. R.

[flexcoders] Re: Urgent call for Flex Portlet (Flex Taglibs) specialists (James Ward, help!)
There is a 2.5 feature that allows quick enabling of Flex applications as local portlets and as WSRP producer portlets. It is documented in Chapter 18 of the Beta 2 documentation. Here is the summary paragraph from the documentation, The portal feature lets you easily configure Flex client applications as local portlets on a portal server. It also lets you enable Flex client applications for consumption by a portlet consumer using portal servers that support WSRP. The 2.5 Beta 2 will be publicly available tomorrow evening.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex dates
Hi Jeremy,
I recommend converting your date into a native actionscript date object. This
has many benefits which include all of the date manipulation methods available,
the dateformatter class, correct date sorting in the datagrid, etc.
You can use
var date_from_db:String = ;
var d:date = new Date();
d.setTime(Date.parse(date_from_db));

Day Mon DD HH:MM:SS TZD
Day DD Mon HH:MM:SS TZD
Mon/DD/ HH:MM:SS TZD
/MM/DD HH:MM:SS TZD
I'm not familiar with CF but the way I do it in PHP using MySQL is in this SQL
query. The 'start_time' column is a datetime.
SELECT replace(start_time,'-','/') as start_time FROM mytable
In another project where I only receive the date in the format '-MM-DD', I
use my own parseDate() method.
public function parseDate(s:String):Date
{
if (!s) return null;
var a:Array = s.split('-');
return new Date(parseInt(a[0]),parseInt(a[1])-1,parseInt(a[2]));
}
you would use it like:
var d:Date = parseDate('2007-01-01');
Hope this helps.

Formatter will do that only for displaying your date. And how it comes out
of database depends on database interface. In general you receive some
standardized date/time. If you want to get specifically formatted date out of
the database you should ask database to do it. Though I can't imagine why one
may need that kind of formatting.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex dates
There's no conversion needed. Date's sent from ColdFusion become ActionScript
date objects.
What you need to do is call the DateFormatter.format method when needed,
passing it the Date object.
Here's an example of a RemoteObject fetching news from a MySQL database, which
contains:
- newsHeader (string)
- newsText (text)
- newsDate (date)
The results are displayed in a List instance (news_list).
When an item is selected in the list, it displays the date (newsDate) of the
selected item in a label (newsDate_label) instance.
Instead of just displaying the date, it calls the format() method of the
DateFormatter:
--newsDate_fmt.format(this.news_list.selectedItem.newsDate)
mx:RemoteObject id=newsSelect_ro
destination=ColdFusion
source=path.to.service.NewsSelect
mx:method name=getNews /
/mx:RemoteObject
mx:DateFormatter id=newsDate_fmt
formatString=, DD
/
mx:List id=news_list
dataProvider={newsSelect_ro.getNews.lastResult}
labelField=newsHeader
/
mx:Label id=newsDate_label
text={newsDate_fmt.format(this.news_list.selectedItem.newsDate)}
/

Hi Jeremy,
I recommend converting your date into a native actionscript date object. This
has many benefits which include all of the date
manipulation methods available, the dateformatter class, correct date sorting
in the datagrid, etc.
You can use
var date_from_db:String = ;
var d:date = new Date();
d.setTime(Date.parse(date_from_db));
Where date_from_db would equal one of the following string formats.
MM/DD/ HH:MM:SS TZD
HH:MM:SS TZD Day Mon/DD/
Mon DD HH:MM:SS TZD

Re: [flexcoders] How to DataBind to DateField when Null Values come into play??
Mike:
What is the type of the property you are trying to bind to in your Value
Object? A DateField selectedDate property can be sent to null and should
give you an empty date.
I've extended the DateField making my own DateField Component -
EditDateField and I always use that whenever I use Date. My Component looks
like this:
mx:DateField xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
focusOut=checkFilterDate(); editable=true
mx:Script
![CDATA[
*import* com.myDomain.util.DateValidate;
*public* *var* defaultDate:Date;
*private* *function* checkFilterDate():*void
*
{
*if* (*this*.text.length == 0)
{
*this*.selectedDate = *null*;
}
*else* *if* (!DateValidate.validate(*this*.text))
{
*this*.selectedDate = defaultDate;
}
*else
*
{
*this*.selectedDate = DateValidate.format(*this*.text);
}
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:DateField
Where my DateValidate class is some custom functions I've written that allow
formats like mmddyy or mmdd to be input and automatically cast to a Date
type.
Hope this helps

[flexcoders] How to set remoteobject to reach a java(spring) bean in a remote machine
Hi everybody, I have a very simple problem with setting RemoteObject to connect a spring bean in a remote machine. I tried at Fds-Tomcat test drive server by Christopher Coenraets. However those samples(and all other samples) were for using a web-tier mxml compiler. I have to connect a local project to java(spring) beans in a remote object using tomcat server. Can anyone simply tell me how to configure services- config and remoting-config.xml. What should be the endpoint of the remoteobject, as it was gateway.php for AMFPHP? I saw that there were many configurations in web.xml of apache, I guess some were for web-tier compiler(client) and some for java backend. I could not just separate the configuration. Onw more thing, We are using WebOrb server for another project. Do we have to use such a special library for connecting client application to a remote java backend (I guess it should not be so...) Thanks for your help, Eren Bali Invento [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[flexcoders] AS3 Browser weirdness!!??
Hey all,
I'm working on some physics/game stuff... not typical Flex area of concern,
but... well
eventually I'll be making use of the Flex specific stuff, and for now I want to
write in in AS3
and am on a Mac, so no AS3 Preview for me... :(
Anyways, I wrote a little function to try and capture persistent key press...
as the
Key.isDown() got deprecated. It looks like this:
private var l:uint; //left
private var u:uint; //up
private var r:uint; //right
private var d:uint; //down
private function persistKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.LEFT)
{
l = setInterval(control, 10, event);
}
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.UP)
{
u = setInterval(control, 10, event);
}
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT)
{
r = setInterval(control, 10, event);
}
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.DOWN)
{
d = setInterval(control, 10, event);
}
//tFrame.text = keyDown: + event.keyCode;
}
private function persistKeyUp(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.LEFT)
{
clearInterval(l);
}
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.UP)
{
clearInterval(u);
}
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT)
{
clearInterval(r);
}
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.DOWN)
{
clearInterval(d);
}
//tFrame.text = keyUp: + event.keyCode;
}
The control function just applies forces to an object on the screen. I have
the seperate
intervals for each key so that I can catch simultaneous keys being held down...
is that
right? I think I must be doing something wrong, because, though it works fine
in FireFox,
it behaves all weird in Safari.
You can check it out here:
http://www.noncehence.com/game/experiments/test05.html
Ideally, the green ball should bounce off the walls and the grey box. You'll
have to click
inside the canvas to give it focus, and you can control the green ball with the
arrow keys.
It's actually kind of fun already, but only in FireFox. In Safari, the green
ball seems to get
stuck in one direction or another and magnatize to a wall.
Is there a difference between how keyDown/Up events are dispatched in various
browsers?
That doesn't make any sense to me... but then, I don't know why I'm having this
problem.
If anyone can help, or has other questions for me, please let me know.
Thanks much,
//Matt

[flexcoders] An odd problem with the 'width' and 'height' of Sprite
Hi all. (This is my first post in this group, so I'd like to give all of
you a greeting .)
As the title, I've met an odd problem with using Sprite class.
Because I'm a novice of Flex, my problem may be so trivial.
But Your helps would make me happy.
The simple version of my code is below.
public class CustomSprite extends Sprite
{
public function TCellView(w:Number, h:Number) {
this.width = w;
this.height = h;
draw();
}
private function draw():void {
this.graphics.clear();
this.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0x00, 0.7);
this.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, this.width, this.height);
}
}
The problem is that the assignments to width and height in the
constructor of mine have no effect.
So in draw(), the rectangle to be drawn has size of zero. The width and
height are public properties of Sprite and are not read-only.
Then why does the code like 'this.width = w' have no effect? (In debug
mode of Flex Builder, the Variables view told me the values of
width/height of the Sprite object have not changed by the codes.)
After some investigation, I knew that the drawing on the graphics of
Sprite causes update of width/height.
That behavior is reasonable, I think. However, I wonder why a
direct-assignment to width or height is banned, and how.
Is there any mistake in my code? Or Do I misunderstand something?
Please, tell me what's going on behind the scene about Sprite.
Any replies of you would be grateful.
Thank you.

[flexcoders] Re: List item selection with filterFunction
I experienced this when checking a CheckBox itemRenderer inside a DataGrid a few motnhs back. I thought I had determined that it was a change in the underlying dataProvider that caused the problem, but if you're experiencing it just selecting an entire list item that sounds different (but obviously related). I did have some trouble reproducing this bug consistently. I reported this to our support contact at Adobe but last I heard the engineers were unable to reproduce it. He suspected it might be a bug that was introduced in 2.0.1. Is that the version you're using? There is a fairly painless workaround. In my case, just before updating the item in the dataProvider, I would set the filterFunction to null, then update the value, then reassign the filterFunction. You don't need to call refresh() (I am assuming your dp is an ArrayCollection), so the list won't unsort and resort or anything like that.

Re: [flexcoders] AS3 Browser weirdness!!??
Not sure what you're specific problem may be, but to answer the question of
what to do since there's no Key.isDown()...
I borrowed this from Andre Michelle... works a charm.
private var keyState:Array = new Array();
private function handleKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
keyState[event.keyCode] = true;
}
private function handleKeyUp(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
keyState[event.keyCode] = false;
}
This takes advantage of the fact that AS3 arrays are sparse (otherwise you
could just use an Object or Dictionary). Just replace any calls to
Key.isDown() with keyState[Keyboard.CONSTANT].

right? I think I must be doing something wrong, because, though it works
fine in FireFox,
it behaves all weird in Safari.
You can check it out here:
http://www.noncehence.com/game/experiments/test05.html
Ideally, the green ball should bounce off the walls and the grey box.
You'll have to click
inside the canvas to give it focus, and you can control the green ball
with the arrow keys.
It's actually kind of fun already, but only in FireFox. In Safari, the
green ball seems to get
stuck in one direction or another and magnatize to a wall.
Is there a difference between how keyDown/Up events are dispatched in
various browsers?
That doesn't make any sense to me... but then, I don't know why I'm having
this problem.
If anyone can help, or has other questions for me, please let me know.
Thanks much,

Re: [flexcoders] An odd problem with the 'width' and 'height' of Sprite
Hi Cho,
I assume in your example code below that TCellView was supposed to be
CustomSprite (i.e. the constructor).
This was mentioned recently so you could probably find some details in the
archives, though I'm not sure what to suggest you search for, so I'll repeat
what I learned as best as possible:
When you set the width and height of a sprite, Flash attempts to scale the
sprite to that width and height. So, it'll set the new width and height but
it will also adjust the scaleX and scaleY properties such that *if* your
sprite had content it would be scaled up to the new size (kinda what you
would expect if you resized a movie clip).
Of course, the big problem is that the documentation for width/height (or
DisplayObject) makes absolutely no mention of this, and it appears that the
behavior has simply been deduced through trial and error (Gordon or other
Adobe folks, I'd love to see some official confirmation on what's happening
-- and an update to the LiveDocs!).
What is happening in your case is the width and height of your new Sprite is
0 because it doesn't contain any vector art, etc. So, you set the width and
height manually and the Sprite attempts to adjust scaleX and scaleY to
compensate. Since the width and height are at zero, the scales become NaN
(division by zero), and thus are set to zero. Now, future drawing/sizing
gets squished by the fact that scale is set to zero.
To fix it, you can set your width and height *then* reset scaleX and scaleY
back to 1.0. That should do it.
Adobe? Undocumented!
Troy.

Hi all. (This is my first post in this group, so I'd like to give all of
you a greeting .)
As the title, I've met an odd problem with using Sprite class.
Because I'm a novice of Flex, my problem may be so trivial.
But Your helps would make me happy.
The simple version of my code is below.
public class CustomSprite extends Sprite
{
public function TCellView(w:Number, h:Number) {
this.width = w;
this.height = h;
draw();
}
private function draw():void {
this.graphics.clear();
this.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0x00, 0.7);
this.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, this.width, this.height);
}
}
The problem is that the assignments to width and height in the
constructor of mine have no effect.
So in draw(), the rectangle to be drawn has size of zero. The width and
height are public properties of Sprite and are not read-only.
Then why does the code like 'this.width = w' have no effect? (In debug
mode of Flex Builder, the Variables view told me the values of
width/height of the Sprite object have not changed by the codes.)
After some investigation, I knew that the drawing on the graphics of
Sprite causes update of width/height.
That behavior is reasonable, I think. However, I wonder why a
direct-assignment to width or height is banned, and how.
Is there any mistake in my code? Or Do I misunderstand something?
Please, tell me what's going on behind the scene about Sprite.
Any replies of you would be grateful.
Thank you.

[flexcoders] Disabling Selectable Text for a ComboBox
I've got a ComboBox in a Form and for some reason the text is selectable (i.e., the I-bar cursor is displayed when you move over the ComboBox and you can drag-select the text displayed for the currently selected list item). The editable property is not defined, and it doesn't make a difference if editable is explicitly set to false (note that it is not possible to type text into the ComboBox, just select the text that is there). There's no selectable property for a ComboBox, so I can't use that to disable text selection. I have ComboBoxes in other Forms that don't have this problem and I don't see any differences between this ComboBox and the others in my code.

[flexcoders] Re: List item selection with filterFunction
Thanks for the suggestion. In my case, I don't change the underlying data provider, though - I simply have an ArrayCollection set as the data provider for a List. When the filter function is set, the right thing happens: Only items in the list matching the filter criteria show. However, when at that point I click on a list item, the selected item sometimes jumps, so to speak, to a position above where it originally was, and other items rearrange in the list. I don't have a sort function set for the ArrayCollection, btw. I also noticed that this does not occur when the subset created with the filter function is small, i..e, 4-5 items or less. But when the subset is bigger (a dozen or more items), this occurs every time. And when the subset is very long (few dozen items), this makes the list unusable, as users cannot reliably select list items. I also verified this with a list that has no custom item renderer, btw. Yes, I'm using 2.0.1. Thanks, -- Frank --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, ben.clinkinbeard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I experienced this when checking a CheckBox itemRenderer inside a DataGrid a few motnhs back. I thought I had determined that it was a change in the underlying dataProvider that caused the problem, but if you're experiencing it just selecting an entire list item that sounds different (but obviously related). I did have some trouble reproducing this bug consistently. I reported this to our support contact at Adobe but last I heard the engineers were unable to reproduce it. He suspected it might be a bug that was introduced in 2.0.1. Is that the version you're using? There is a fairly painless workaround. In my case, just before updating the item in the dataProvider, I would set the filterFunction to null, then update the value, then reassign the filterFunction. You don't need to call refresh() (I am assuming your dp is an ArrayCollection), so the list won't unsort and resort or anything like that. Sample code below: var ff:Function = myAC.filterFunction; myAC.filterFunction = null; myAC.getItemAt(someIndex).someValue = newValue; myAC.filterFunction = ff; HTH, Ben

RE: [flexcoders] Coldfusion FDS App Wizards for FB 2 ?
When you finished the DB install it should have popped up and asked you do you want to know how to install the CF Extensions?. Basically, there is a ZIP file on your machine, somewhere under where the FB installer bits put themselves, and you need to add that archive as a new Eclipse plug-in (in FB, Help-Software Updates-Find And Install-Search for new features to install-New Archived Site button, and then select the ZIP file). --- Ben From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jamiebadman Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 12:22 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Coldfusion FDS App Wizards for FB 2 ?

It is part of the FB2 install, though the installer does not do it for you.

[flexcoders] Constant Variable declaration in Custom Component
Hi, I need to declare a constant public variable in a custom component (say direction with values horizontal and vertical).

Has anyone implemented this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Madhu

[flexcoders] getObjectsUnderPoint problems
Okay, this is really driving me crazy... I've got a UIComponent which is nested several layers deep in a layout. Inside that UIComponent I've got a series of sprites that are nested one inside of the other 4 or 5 levels deep with a Bitmap nested as the deepest level. In the top-level sprite of my UIComponent (child of the UIComponent) I'm intercepting mouse clicks (sprite.mouseChildren = false) and trying to determine what underlying sprite was clicked on (think the SpriteArranger example). Easy, right? Just take the stageX and stageY coordinates from the mouse down event, pass them to getObjectsUnderPoint, and voila, a list of objects (sprites, bitmaps, etc.) underneath that point on the stage. But its not working for me... a few weird issues are popping up: First, 99% the only object that is in the returned list is the top-level sprite of my component. What's weird is its the DisplayObjectContainer I'm calling getObjectsUnderPoint on, so I wouldn't expect it to be included in the list (because the docs say children, grandchildren, etc.). Second, the 1% of the time it finds something else its the deepest child, the Bitmap, which is the only other object with art, so that's too be expected. But it only finds the object if I click on the top edge of the bitmap. E.g., if I click at (20, 120) it finds the bitmap, but if I click at (20, 121) or (20, 119) it doesn't find the bitmap, even though its 100x100 (its fairly big on the screen, I can tell when I'm clicking inside of it!). And I check the hitArea... NULL on all my DisplayObjects, so they should be running off of the visual areas... Third, the getPointsUnderObject seems to be offset... the docs say to use stage coordinates, so I use the stageX and stageY from the mouse event. But, no objects are returned when I reach the edge of my UIComponent due to what appears to be some offset due to the fact that the UIComponent is centered... ARrrgh! This seems so basic? Are there gotchas I'm not aware of when dealing with getObjectsUnderPoint? I can find very few examples of this being used and the ones I can find seem to agree with what I'm doing! Help! Please help! :) Troy.
[flexcoders] Re: Disabling Selectable Text for a ComboBox
Thanks Ben, that helped a bit. I have two ComboBoxes on the Form and each had an enabled=false in the MXML. However, when I removed the enabled=false from the MXML I was still getting the i-beam and selectable text. In my code I'm also programatically changing the enabled state of the ComboBoxes, so I tried removing the code where the ComboBoxes are disabled in response to other settings in the form. This time it worked: the i-beam cursor was gone and the text was no longer selectable. Of course the ComboBoxes are always enabled now, which is bad. I did discover something else odd. With the enabled=false gone in the MXML I can programatically enable and disable the SECOND ComboBox without it becoming selectable (the first ComboBox still has the problem when it is programatically disabled and enabled).

Add a DateFormatter to the main app. If that solves the problem then you have a linker dependency issue.

[flexcoders] Re: Apollo SDK
Im not sure if this helps... You could probably hear me screaming last Saturday afternoon from my office in Cupertino, CA. The fact that it was beautiful outside didnt help. I searched the CD (The stuff that became available for Apollo over the weekend was a hand out at ApolloCamp on Friday night.) I read the release notes, so I had the file name, but I still couldnt find it on the CD. I finally found it in the Flex Builder directory fb_apollo_extensions_win_alpha1rc3.exe The location of this file was a point of confusion for me, first because there was an Apollo directory at the same level. I had already installed Flex Builder and wasnt interested in the Flex Builder folder whatsoever. I searched the Apollo folder and others on the CD several times and couldnt find this file and the information wasnt on the website yet. I was pulling my hair out. If you havent yet already, be sure to install the runtime as well. If you havent yet this may be the problem. If you havent run the plugin installer you'll need to do that next. Go to Apollo... http://adobe.com/go/apollo this will redirect you to http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/apollo/ and at the bottom of that page you can find the runtime under Run Apollo Applications(INSTALL THAT FIRST) and the plugin Develop Apollo Applications (INSTALL THIS NEXT). Im not sure if the order is important, i did it that order and it works for me. Though I am having minor trouble with transparent apps? I think they tried to make it really easy. (And maybe fo someone who understands Eclipse, as well as those Adobe guys do, it probably was. Anyway the installer (fb_apollo_extensions_win_alpha1rc3.exe) makes it simple, good luck.
[flexcoders] Re: Disabling Selectable Text for a ComboBox
I just discovered why the second ComboBox was not affected -- it's because I was disabling the ** Form item ** that wraps the ComboBox and not the ComboBox itself. I changed my code so that I enable and disable both ComboBoxes by setting the enabled property for the Form item rather than for the ComboBox and now the problem with the selectable text is gone (you can even set the enabled property for the Form item to false in the MXML without causing a problem). One possible drawback that I found in doing this is that the Form item's label text is dimmed when the Form item is disabled (disabling only the ComboBox left the Form item's label untouched).

I borrowed this from Andre Michelle... works a charm.
private var keyState:Array = new Array();
private function handleKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
keyState[event.keyCode] = true;
}
private function handleKeyUp(event:KeyboardEvent):void

This takes advantage of the fact that AS3 arrays are sparse (otherwise you
could just use an Object or Dictionary). Just replace any calls to
Key.isDown() with keyState[Keyboard.CONSTANT].

have the seperate

down... is that
right? I think I must be doing something wrong, because, though it works
fine in FireFox,
it behaves all weird in Safari.
You can check it out here:

Ideally, the green ball should bounce off the walls and the grey box.
You'll have to click
inside the canvas to give it focus, and you can control the green ball
with the arrow keys.
It's actually kind of fun already, but only in FireFox. In Safari, the
green ball seems to get
stuck in one direction or another and magnatize to a wall.
Is there a difference between how keyDown/Up events are dispatched in
various browsers?
That doesn't make any sense to me... but then, I don't know why I'm having
this problem.
If anyone can help, or has other questions for me, please let me know.

Re: [flexcoders] Storing Dates Times in VO's
thanks for the advice. I completely agree that I need to store them
as dates. Unfortunately, my problem seems to be how to do that from
the PHP end of things.
As I understand it, becuase PHP is not a typed language, AMFPHP tries
to guess as what the type is. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how
to force it to see a date type. It sees anything I send it as a
string or number (UTC). Any suggestions from AMFPHP coders out there??
In the meantime here is what I am going to try:
in PHP:
send a VO with
class myDate(){
public phpDate; // as a string
}
in FLEX:
public class myDate(){
public phpDate:String;
public function get flexDate():Date{
return new Date(phpDate); //parse PHP date (not sure how best to
do this yet)
}
public function set flexDate(value:Date):void{
this.phpDate = value.toString; //or something like this...
}
}
Hopefully this will work and be as clean as I can make it until I
figure out how to return Date types from AMFPHP.
Thanks, Kevin

[flexcoders] Event Dispatching through more than one component

Is there any way to dispatch an event, but have it automatically go through all components down to the root? Obviously I've tried, but events seems to stop at the parent component, and they are not automatically delivered to their parent's parent, etc. What I'm thinking of doing instead is having each popup send a message to the root to open other embedded popups, so that they are ALL created from the root application rather than the popup.

Re: [flexcoders] Event Dispatching through more than one component
It doesn't happen automatically. You need to set this up, but it's not hard to
do. the thing about popups is that they act essentially like their own
application. so they don't normally pass events outside of the popup window.
events originate and terminate with the popup.
so for example, if you have
parent application
|
popup #1
|
popup #2
dispatch the event in popup #2 and listen for it in popup #1.
in popup #2 you would do a dispatchEvent(new Event(myCustomEventPopUp2))
and in popup #1 in the same location that you generate/ create popup#2 you
would put an event listener on popup #2.
ie: popupObj.addEventListener(myCustomEventPopUp2,myPopUp2Function)
then in your function:
function myPopUp2Function(event){
dispatchEvent(event)
}
Then in your parent app, you would put in the same kind of listener as you had
in the first popup:
ie: popupObj.addEventListener(myCustomEventPopUp2,myPopUp2Function)
It's a little round about, but it will get the job done. unfortunately, flex
doesn't handle this sort of event handling.
Hope that helps.

Each popup is parented by the systemManager so it won't bubble from one

I need to find the best algorithm to extract the URL from the text
file. Any suggestions?

[flexcoders] ChangeWatcher question
Flex community, Would someone be willing to help out with the following two questions I have. 1. I need to keep track of a number of properties (about 20 per object) of a large number of objects (hundreds to thousand range). I can either use an army of ChangeWatcher instances or add some code to the set method for each of these properties. I like the idea of using independent changewatchers but I am not sure what the performance/memory penalty is going to be. Has anyone some guidance? 2. Is it possible to figure out, given an object instance and a property name, whether a ChangeWatcher is active? If so, how would that work? Or do I have to keep track of all ChangeWatcher.watch instances that get created. Thanks! Peter
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Maven plugin outputDirectory is READONLY
Yeah. Others have asked. I don't have a public svn repo right now. I'm going to try to set one up, but my current project has me pretty locked up. As soon as I can do, I'll get that going so others can contribute, patch their own, yadda yadda. Sorry for the delay on this. Christian.

I wanted to get access to the sources with the eclipse .project files so I can alter it to enable changing the default directory, but the SVN access is not working. Are going going to fix access to that? Thanks again, Frank P.S. If you need help, I have experience writing Maven plugins. I was the original co-author of the JIBX maven plugin before I handed it over to the current maintainer. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Christian Gruber [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'll be getting back to it soon with some updates.
