[flexcoders] Error 2025 with images
Hi there This question was previously asked on Flexcoders and not addressed: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/64576 I have dug futher into the problem know what may be causing it. Here is a description of the problem: I load html text into a textarea. I then edit the text try to set a new htmlText value to the textarea, which results in the following exception: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. at flash.text::TextField/set htmlText() This only happens if my htmlText contains an 'img' tag. What I think is happening is that the player is struggling to delete the old image object that was created thought the 'img' tag, possibly because it isnt an explicit child of the textarea. The only way that I have found to get around it is by dynamically creating deleting a textarea: http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=85011 This solution is not ideal since my textarea is quite intricately defined in my MXML markup. Does anyone know of a better cleaner solution? Cheers Tracy

[flexcoders] Re: Are Events OK in the MVC (S) pattern
Brett, You can read about this in more detail on any website which discusses the pattern but I will try and simplify it here for you. I highly recommend also trying out Cairngorm (A Flex MVC framework) even if only to better understand the concepts. If your view is firing events, the events are being passed to the controller which then does the work of calling a function or command to update the model. So for example: User presses a Button on the View View sends an event to the Controller Controller decides what to do with the event it has been passed Once decided, the controller (or associated commands( updates the model The view listens for events on the model and then reacts to the change For a Superb example of MVC and how it works, check out cairngormdocs.org and look at the Cairngorm Diagram Explorer. It will demystify most of the process for you. -Kenny

[flexcoders] Controlling item spacing in a vbox
I have a group of checkboxes that I'd like to put in a vbox. However, I need the spacing between the items in the box to be dramatically less than the standarding spacing because we have some real estate issues. I currently use absolute positioning on the checkboxes, and have them such that there is only about 1 px of space between each one. When I put them inside a vbox, they are automatically spaced in a way that I could only describe as double spacing... ie, there's room for another checkbox between each. I've tried setting the paddingTop and paddingBottom on the checkboxes and the vbox itself to no avail. Any suggestions?

[flexcoders] Checkbox Select List Component
Someone blogged about a custom component they'd built that was like a list component, but rendered the items as checkboxes... however I can't find it anywhere. Our users prefer the visual of the checkbox in a multi-select component, plus not having to SHIFT-click or CTRL-click makes it easier for them to use.

a) I didn't test this code
b) In my situation, I wasn't adding from the same component that was
displaying things, so the 'add' and 'display were never shown at the same
time. There could have been other code that made the refresh work,
but I don't remember anything explicit.
c) When accessing a repeater element you use currentIndex when it is
repeating, but repeaterIndex after the fact. I haven't found a
simple way to switch between the two of them, but my solution was
something like this:
try{
return myArrayCollection. getItemAt( loop.currentInde x );
}
catch (e:Error){
return myArrayCollection. getItemAt( loop.repeaterInd ex );

Re: [flexcoders] Repeater Refresh
thanks. I think the ArrayCollection is the key. Using addItem
instead of push makes all the difference. It now works.

I've done this with an ArrayCollections, but never with an Array.
The code would be something like this:

public function addItem():void{
myArrayCollection.addItem('test4');

mx:VBox
mx:Repeater id=rp dataProvider={myArrayCollection}
mx:TextInput id=myRepeat /
/mx:Repeater
mx:Button label=click me click=addItem(); /
/mx:VBox
A few caveats...
a) I didn't test this code
b) In my situation, I wasn't adding from the same component that
was displaying things, so the 'add' and 'display were never shown
at the same time. There could have been other code that made the
refresh work, but I don't remember anything explicit.
c) When accessing a repeater element you use currentIndex when it
is repeating, but repeaterIndex after the fact. I haven't found a
simple way to switch between the two of them, but my solution was
something like this:
try{
return myArrayCollection.getItemAt(loop.currentIndex );
}
catch (e:Error){
return myArrayCollection.getItemAt(loop.repeaterIndex );
}
I imagine there must be a better way

[flexcoders] Registration point woes
I'm developing my first Flex component, and I'm having some trouble with registration points and images. I'm loading data from flickr, and have a custom class that extends mx:Image. I'm trying to create a rollOver effect that will increase the size of the clip from its CENTER, but right now the registration point is the top left... I've dealt with this issues in Flash, but I can't seem to figure out a way to do it in Flex. I tried changing my custom component to be a canvas, and adjust the position of the image by width/2 and height/2 but then it only shows a quarter of the Image.

[flexcoders] mx:ComboBox
Hello helpful list,
I seem to be confusing myself. I'm using ColdFusion to get the data
out of our database. Simple. I got a remote object getting the data.
mx:RemoteObject id=remoteService destination=ColdFusion
source=Cows3.cows showBusyCursor=true/
Now what I want to do is firstly get the data into it. I tried this by
doing the following.
mx:ComboBox id=ProcessorName
dataProvider={remoteService.getProcessors.lastResult}
/mx:ComboBox
Now I know that it needs to be in an Array. When I dump the data into
a grid. It works fine. i.e.
mx:DataGrid dataProvider={remoteService.getProcessors.lastResult}
/mx:DataGrid
All the examples on Adobe's site is shitting me. Cause they are put in
from an Array they manually make.
Help. Again.

[flexcoders] Looking for a Wizard custom component
Has anyone created a custom component that is a wizard? In other words, has anyone played around with making a Flex component that defines a wizard that, for example, supports conditional flow, has an index displayed in the left side of how many wizard steps there are, the right pane has the content, and the navigation buttons at the bottom. I'm looking for something that looks like JIDESoft's Swing wizard component. Any advice/help is much appreciated! I created a quick prototype that resembles the JIDESoft's wizard, but I am new to Flex and my prototype is not very good :^) thanx -Ted-

[flexcoders] Setting properties on AS-created components
hi there, Long time AS developer, new Flex developer. Coming from a pure ActionScript background, I've been really banging my head against the Flex framework. I'm working on a Flex 2 project where I need to dynamically instantiate Flex components using ActionScript, and then lay them out manually. I finally got everything sorted out, but I'm wondering if there really isn't a better way to do this. Basically, I'm creating Flex components at runtime using new ___(). In particular, I came across a problem trying to modify a Button component that I created inside a Panel. Setting the x and y immediately was no problem, however the width property kept returning 0 . I tried explicitWidth, measuredWidth, every arcane width I could find in the docs, but always 0. Then I realized that the Button probably hadn't finished its layout processes yet. Okay, after some more hand-wrenching, I decided to add a listener to the Button for the FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETEevent, and set the props on that. Gods be praised, it worked. The width property finally had a value. But really, this seems very inelegant to me. Don't get me wrong, I love the AS3 event system (mostly), but having to create listener functions just to set visual properties of AS-created components...ugh. Is there a better way to accomplish this? Did I miss something? I think that Adobe needs to concentrate more documentation on using Flex from a non-MXML perspective. It is very frustrating trying to get up to speed with such a complicated framework, when most of the documentation uses MXML to teach concepts. thanks, -brett
Re: [flexcoders] dragProxy as image dosen't show image

[flexcoders] Handling results from multiple RemoteObject operations
Hi all, I've been wanting to learn Flex since 1.5 and finally got the chance
to really dive in this weekend. I'm putting together an application that
gets information from a ColdFusion application and was wondering if I'm
handling the results properly. I want to bind the data from one of the
methods of my RemoteObject, but I want to massage the data first (add a
property that doesn't exist on the server) so this is what I'm doing:
My RemoteObject looks like this:
mx:RemoteObject id=Jukebox destination=ColdFusion showBusyCursor=true
source=model.service.JukeboxService /
In my initApp() method, I've got this line:
Jukebox.getFullList.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT,handleResult);
Which triggers this function:
[Bindable]
public var fullList:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
public function handleResult(e:ResultEvent):void {
for (var i:Object in e.result) {
e.result[i].inPlayList = +;
fullList.addItem(e.result[i]);
}
}
And then my DataGrid:
mx:DataGrid id=fullListDG width=80% dataProvider={fullList}
itemClick=setSelectedTrack(event) y=30
It seems to be working, though I'm not sure how strong that binding is; I
seem to recall in the reams and reams of docs and examples I read this
weekend that binding a variable like that won't update the DataGrid if the
contents of the variable change?
Thanks!

What I had to do was set text or htmlText to and then call validateNow() on the textArea (actually you want to call it on the UITextField within the textArea but I think this will be done by the textArea) and then set the htmlText to what you want. hope it works, - Dan Freiman On 26 Mar 2007 02:21:49 -0700, polestar11 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi there This question was previously asked on Flexcoders and not addressed: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/64576 I have dug futher into the problem know what may be causing it. Here is a description of the problem: I load html text into a textarea. I then edit the text try to set a new htmlText value to the textarea, which results in the following exception: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. at flash.text::TextField/set htmlText() This only happens if my htmlText contains an 'img' tag. What I think is happening is that the player is struggling to delete the old image object that was created thought the 'img' tag, possibly because it isnt an explicit child of the textarea. The only way that I have found to get around it is by dynamically creating deleting a textarea: http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=85011 This solution is not ideal since my textarea is quite intricately defined in my MXML markup. Does anyone know of a better cleaner solution? Cheers Tracy

We solved the problem by tacking a random number on the SWF name in the embed page (myswf.swf?38787383), this way the browser thinks the file has changed and it needs to refresh it. In this manner, the SWF will not be sticky.

[flexcoders] filterFunction issue with shared array collection in model / shared list
I have a shared arraycollection of value objects. Singeton, only one instance of this array collection. Dfferent views (in a tab navigator) are generated using this shared array collection but each view filters the data in a datagrid list with different criteria. So.. in each view i utilized the filterFunction to correctly filter the array collection and only display what i needed into my datagrid. That works great. However, when i set the filter function and refresh the arrayCollection all my other views (tab windows) change as well because they are all databound to the shared array collection... This does make sense... but not what i want. Maybe i need to put the filter on the datagrid for each view, not the array collection. Am i going about this wrong? I'm a newbie cairngorm and i believe this is an issue that others would run into.

For my specific application purposes, it would be important if I could define the triggers like i did for the first example. I've tried it with different components and effects, and the problem is always there. Am i doing something wrong? How can i solve this? Thanks, João Saleiro

Now what I want to do is firstly get the data into it. I tried this
by
doing the following.
mx:ComboBox id=ProcessorName
dataProvider={remoteService.getProcessors.lastResult}
/mx:ComboBox
Now I know that it needs to be in an Array. When I dump the data
into
a grid. It works fine. i.e.
mx:DataGrid
dataProvider={remoteService.getProcessors.lastResult}
/mx:DataGrid
All the examples on Adobe's site is shitting me. Cause they are put
in
from an Array they manually make.
Help. Again.

[flexcoders] URLRequest.requestHeaders
Has anyone used this? I am having a lot of trouble getting requests to actually send those headers to the server. I'm curious if anyone else has had experience with them. My problem is I cannot authenticate to our remote servers. Some of the servers use Basic Authentication and some use SOAP headers. I have been able to get it to work by getting the session id from SOAP and passing that as to the services that used basic. I had to turn off basic auth and just fail the request if there is not a valid session. Problem now is I have no session on this other server and need to get one created, but I cannot authenticate because there are no soap handlers and Flash cannot be basic without prompting the user. So I was looking at sending some authentication tokens as headers with the requests, but they are not arriving at the server. Paul

I don't see why you can't use the equivalent of an AsyncToken in a sync call if you really want to. I don't understand the problem. Well, I would like to do something like model.addEventListener(eventType, eventListener); var result:MyAsyncToken = model.doAction(...); result.myData = Unless I am missing something, the problem is that doAction synchronously invokes the eventListener (by invoking dispatchEvent) and therefore the value assigned to result.myData never makes it in the eventListener.

I'll try to find what you refer to. Having no flash experience I will have to do a bit of reading to figure out how all this would match up with the scenario above, but it certainly helps me to find the direction to start looking.

[flexcoders] Two-Way Binding Solutions?
I have trying to figure out how best to accomplish the two-way data binding needed for form entry. Here is what I thought would work, but it doesn't seem to: ON MODEL: I created two variables that hold my VO. model.pendingContact model.newContact The user clicks a button to get ContactVO data from the server. In the command class I assign the result (which is a typed PHP ContactVO) to each variable: model.pendingContact = data.result; model.newContact = data.result; I then bind my form fields to model.pendingContact so that the existing values from the server show up in the TextInput fields. Lastly, I use the BindingUtil methods to bind the text property of the TextInput fields back to model.newContact so that I can record any changes and send them back to the server. When the user submits the form, model.pendingContact should hold the old values model.newContact should have the new values. Correct?? Am I overlooking something. The only way I can get this to work is if I don't assign model.newContact to the values from the server and instead create a new instance like this: model.pendingContact = data.result; model.newContact = new ContactVO; However, I can't do this because I need the newContact to start out with the old values from the server. Is there a duplicate or clone object method that I need to use so that both model variables can be assigned to the same object from the server?? Thanks for the help. - Kevin

[flexcoders] Flex Builder Internal Build error (documeted)
I encountered a problem with FlexBuilder 2.0.1 that stymied me for
a few days. The compiler was reporting An internal build error has
occurred. Please check the Error Log. The error was not attached
to any specific line number within my code. This was after several
changes to my program which I judged to be cosmetic changes.
My first problem was that I could not locate the Error Log the
message referred to, and there was little information available on
the web on this error.
I had a similar problem a few days ago and got advice to re-installl
my Flex environment. Fearing a recurring meltdown of my Flex
environment and wanting to avoid another re-install, I retraced
my cosmetic changes and discovered the problem was using an If
statement to skip a code block containing trace statements,
effectively commenting out the code.
I extracted a simple Actionscript 3.0 example that illustrates the
problem:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
public class BuildError extends Sprite
{
private function netStatusHandler( event :
NetStatusEvent ):void
{
var flvVideo : Object = null;
// This line is used to skip the control block based on the
Boolean
if (true)
{
// This line will print netStatusHandler: null
trace( netStatusHandler: + event );
// This if statement causes the compiler problem.
// To trigger the problem:
//1. Change the previous if (true) to if
(false). This
//will cause the Problem window to report An
internal build error
//has occurred. Please check the Error Log.
//2. A secondary problem is that if the if
(flvVideo != null) line
//is changed to // if (flvVideo != null),
effectively commenting out only
//the if statement, the internal error is
removed, and the problem
//area now reports 1131: Classes must not be
nested.
if (flvVideo != null)
{
trace( ... + flvVideo.videoWidth + , +
flvVideo.videoHeight );
}
}
}
public function BuildError()
{
netStatusHandler( null );
}
}
}
Needless to say, this should not generate any errors whatsoever, or
cause a shutdown of the compilier. Additionally, the generated
error message should be descriptive, and the error log is to find.

This does make sense... but not what i want. Maybe i need to put the filter on the datagrid for each view, not the array collection. Am i going about this wrong?

RE: [flexcoders] Setting properties on AS-created components
We can always use more documentation. Books are coming out left and right these days which may also help. You're right, the width/height isn't set until the updateDisplayList pass. We use a invalidate/validate model for performance reasons. Another thing is that we use a top-down layout model. The application is sized, then its children, then their children, etc... Essentially, children are sized by their parents. Parents laying out their children generally don't care about the width/height because they will dictate it. Instead they care about the child's measured or explicitly set height and try to honor that. There is a method call getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth()/Height() that we use all the time. The source code shipped with the product which is a good place to look. There is a keep-generated flag that shows you what AS the MXML compiler generates. Final note, creationComplete is very late, the equivalent of automatically hitting a button to effect change, so you'll probably be better off using getExplicitOrMeasured...() From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brett Walker Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 12:34 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Setting properties on AS-created components hi there, Long time AS developer, new Flex developer. Coming from a pure ActionScript background, I've been really banging my head against the Flex framework. I'm working on a Flex 2 project where I need to dynamically instantiate Flex components using ActionScript, and then lay them out manually. I finally got everything sorted out, but I'm wondering if there really isn't a better way to do this. Basically, I'm creating Flex components at runtime using new ___(). In particular, I came across a problem trying to modify a Button component that I created inside a Panel. Setting the x and y immediately was no problem, however the width property kept returning 0 . I tried explicitWidth, measuredWidth, every arcane width I could find in the docs, but always 0. Then I realized that the Button probably hadn't finished its layout processes yet. Okay, after some more hand-wrenching, I decided to add a listener to the Button for the FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE event, and set the props on that. Gods be praised, it worked. The width property finally had a value. But really, this seems very inelegant to me. Don't get me wrong, I love the AS3 event system (mostly), but having to create listener functions just to set visual properties of AS-created components...ugh. Is there a better way to accomplish this? Did I miss something? I think that Adobe needs to concentrate more documentation on using Flex from a non-MXML perspective. It is very frustrating trying to get up to speed with such a complicated framework, when most of the documentation uses MXML to teach concepts. thanks, -brett

RE: [flexcoders] filterFunction issue with shared array collection in model / shared list
Take a look at the ListCollectionView class - you can pass your 'master' ArrayCollection into its constructor (because ArrayCollection implements IList).

[flexcoders] Re: How to asynchronously dispatch an event
The assignment to result.myData happens before the data service call is invoked, and this will work fine. I believe that call does not happen until the next frame. Yes, exactly. Now the point is (or was really) that I wanted to implement the same api interaction when model.doAction is not asynchronous (doAction here stands for one of a few dozen methods that are implemented on the model object). I naively tried to do that by using dispatchEvent from within the synchronous doAction call, but that did not really get me there because the eventlistener is invoked at the time the dispatchEvent is invoked (beginners mistake I am sure) Anyway, I have decided to turn everything around. After I (finally) realized that using an event dispatching approach for model management calls (sometimes through service invocations) is not really buying me anything, I added the handlers and possible user data, both for the synchronous and asynchronous methods, as arguments to the methods. Although the method signatures get a bit heavy, I like that approach better. It is consisten and it saves me from having to juggle with eventlisteners and an application specific event structure. Of course... I would have preferred everything to be synchronous :) Thanks for you reply, Peter

[flexcoders] Re: Two-Way Binding Solutions?
You are right, it is because your model.pendingContact and
model.newContact are object references and not object instances. When
you do the assignment you are just pointing them to the same object in
memory - 2 references, 1 object. In your second case you create a
second object, 2 objects, 2 references. This is a familiar concept if
you have spent any time coding in Java.
I'm willing to bet you won't find a cloning technique that will really
suit your purposes (but then I enjoy a flutter). From personal
experience I am yet to find a use for cloning that I have stuck with.
I have used it in Java but every time I have thought it was a
solution it turned out not to be because of some logical constraint in
the data. Most likely there will be some logic implicit in the
member variables or your object (such as id's etc) that it would not
be safe to simply clone. If you have a complex object containing an
array what would you expect it to do? I generally resort to
intelligent copying and a self-impose standard interface across my
code to copy (I used to use overloaded = operators and copy
constructurs in C++ but that's the very distant past).
For the case that you cite you must be binding the individual members
of your VO to form fields to display their values. One approach is to
trap the enter key on those fields and apply the new values back to
the object. That way you only need a single object and its state is
represented by the fields in your form...
mx:TextInput id=txt_Name text={myVOContact.name} enter=saveName()/
...
private function saveName():void{myVOContact.name=txt_Name.text;}
...
You might wind up with lots of little saveX() functions but that
wouldn't be the end of the world.
Alternatively you could probably also bind the assignment directly...
mx:TextInput id=txt_Name text={myVOContact.name}
enter={myVOContact.name=txt_Name.text}/
Not every control support the enter event but there is normally some
analogue, such as a combo closing or a checkbox state changing or a
radio button being selected that will do just as well.
A third method involves putting a submit button on the page. When
clicked, manually transfer the data from the form fields to your VO
and post back to the server.
Unless you are measuring the changes in your data I'm not seeing the
value of a second object instance (yippee, no clone).

id=textArea/
mx:Button x=10 y=10 label=Test click=Test_OnClick(event)/

and here is my test module:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Module xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
mx:Script
![CDATA[
public static const Ok:String = OK; // OK button
public static const Cancel:String = Cancel; // Cancel button
public static const Submit:String = Submit; // Submit button
public function Item( name:String ) : String
{
return ;
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:Module
If you notice I have commented out the code that loads the module.
Yet even then then module loads and I can get at the strings.
I just want to make sure that my modules only load when asked for.
