Re: [flexcoders] wanted to share...
Hi Clint,
Just want to let you know that I re-installed ColdFusion, and this new version,
I put your code remtingExample in the localhost, and it worked great, with no
issues. I guess this does work on the mac. I have no idea what was wrong with
he other developer's version of ColdFusion, but this new one works great. Now I
can have flex ColdFusion communicate`-`
Just wanted to thank you one more time!

can you insert childB at 99 for example.
if so if you remove childA does childB's index change?
can you ensure that you're child will remain at an index?

Look at the code for removeAllChildren.
It will either removeChildAt(0) j times or iterate backwards.

I have a custom component that adds multiple shapes during
UpdateDisplayList. When I scale the browser it calls update
display
list and draws over all of my shapes.
I have tried:
j = this.numChildren;
for (i=0; ij; i++){
this.removeChildAt(i);
}
Before I write redraw my shapes in UpdateDisplayList. I always
get an
outofbounds error after i exceed numAutomationChildren(?). If i
try
the same loop with numAutomationChildren nothing disappears.
It won't let me call this.removeAllChildren (i think because I'm
extending an UIComponent and not a Container)! Isnt there a way
for
me to get all those shapes outta there?
Maybe I'm taking the wrong approach.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Brian, thanks for your reply. I'm trying your tips, because I had forgotten to put the jar in the WEB-INF/lib. But it isn't running. When jboss deploy my program.war, no exceptions are thrown.

The function CostCalc() is just doing basic math calculation. i.e. a + b

Howdy again.
The flex application that I'm building is really quite simple which is
good cause I'm learning flex. However that said.. in html we have onLoad()
which we put on a page. I have built a function called CostCalc() everytime
someone changes a field it will recalculate each field. I got that working
perfectly.
However, when I first load the page up with values every value in the form
is 0.00 until I make a change to a field. I know that in flex we have
creationComplete= onCreationCompl ete(event) ; but when I put in the
function call CostCalc() it doesn't seem to work. Below is the code.
Disregard the RequestType stuff. I'm switching states based on the URL.
//Alert.show( RequestType) ;
if (RequestType == 1)
{
EndValue();
CostCalc()
}
else
{
LandedCosts( );
CostCalc()
}

here is a couple of ideas. (I didnt test these, but either 'should
work')
1. have a function tied to the click event of the checkbox that adds
that index to the selectedItems of the list control
2. when submitting the info, loop through the list and check to see if
any check boxes are checked.
option 1 would mean you would need to change how your itemRenderer is
built, but it should work.

labelField=TABLFLD id=lstControlCodes

The problem here is that the checkboxes do not relate to
the actual selected status of the items. For example, if I click 3
different items without holding down the control key, all 3 items have
checkboxes, but only one (the last) is highlighted in blue.. meaning
it's the only one REALLY selected as far as the list control is
concerned.

Re: [flexcoders] Are Events OK in the MVC (S) pattern
Hi, Troy Gilbert wrote: Brett, Events are actually an a pretty fundamental component of an MVC implementation. Events are most often used by the model to notify the view and/or controller of changes (Observer pattern). Usually the model does not talk to the controller (see the diagram at the java blueprints url below). - Observer(page 94) - The MVC pattern often uses the observable pattern to manage communication. This is usually done for the following parts of the system: . between view and controller so that a change in the view triggers a response in the controller. . between model and view so the view is notified of changes to the model. [Stelting and Maassen(2002) Applied Java Patterns, page 213] - If your model is responding to *any* events then its really not acting as a model in the traditional MVC sense. Models should be pure data, they should basically represent state and contain no behavior. The exception, of course, are structural behaviors like collection management (ArrayCollection) or notification (Bindable). If you have parts of your model that are listening for events that's a good indicator (in my book) that your model needs some refactoring to truly be MVC. I tend to work toward the goal of the model having only properties, no methods. The model should just be made up of objects which are modelled on the business processes and should adhear to the usual best practices. Properties represent state, methods implement behavior to modify state based on some business logic. Therefore, the model should define the state and business logic(behaviour) to manage the model's state. The ModelLocator(Cairngorm speak?) should not contain functional methods, because the ModelLocator is not the model, its just the locator of models. This is what the java blueprints has to say about the model in MVC. Model - The model represents enterprise data and the business rules that govern access to and updates of this data. Often the model serves as a software approximation to a real-world process, so simple real-world modeling techniques apply when defining the model. [ http://java.sun.com/blueprints/patterns/MVC-detailed.html ] Even though the pattern in this instance is being descibed for an enterprise application, the rules for the pattern dont change.

RE: [flexcoders] List Control with checkbox items
I was looking at the source. You'll need an inline renderer with
selectedField set to some property in your data that will record
whether it is selected or not.
If you want to store that elsewhere, then you'll need more subclassing
and set up a centralized repository of what is selected.

That almost works here's my MXML:

width=360
dataProvider={parentDocument.ro.getListData.lastResult.CONTROL_CODES}
labelField=TABLFLD id=lstControlCodes
rendererIsEditor=true itemRenderer=mx.controls.CheckBox
/mx:List
The problem here is that the checkboxes do not relate to the
actual selected status of the items. For example, if I click 3
different items without holding down the control key, all 3 items have
checkboxes, but only one (the last) is highlighted in blue.. meaning
it's the only one REALLY selected as far as the list control is
concerned.

[flexcoders] Accessing Item Renderer in a List.
Hi everyone, I need bit of a help in displaying items from a List. I have an item renderer which is associated to the List. The items in the list contains lots of data, one of which is an indication of how many percent a task has been completed. My custom item renderer has a ProgressBar in it. Every 5 minutes, the data source for my list is updated, hence the progress bar should be updated. How can I detect the change in data source from the item renderer's class, so that I can change the progress bar status? I have always thought that new item renderer object is created everytime the list is updated (everytime the data source is updated, I cleared the array collection which is the source of the list and re add the new items). At the moment, my progress bar only looks right when the application first run. However, seems like the progress bar is updated randomly afterwards. Thanks. Ivan.

[flexcoders] HTTPService/ArrayCollection/DataGrid/Tree/
Hi all,
I was wondering if someone could please point me in the correct direction.
I have an HTTPService that I am using with a datagrid, the Service's data is
loaded into an ArrayCollection and I filter the ArrayCollection with a
filterFunction. All works great.
I now want to take the same ArrayCollection and load certain elements of the
data into a tree. This is where I am getting errors.
The xml:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
build
item id=1
nameName/name
areaChicago/area
statusAvail./status
spec1264/spec
size40/size
/item
item id=2
nameName/name
areaNew York/area
statusAvail./status
spec1264/spec
size49/size
/item
/build
I want to display in the tree the area(s) as the folder and the name under it
as a leaf(s). All I managed to do is a labelFunction that returns the area, and
populates the tree as leafs. I am assuming, I will have to create a custom
function?
private function trModels(item:Object):String{
return item.community;
}
Now all the docs I could find tell me to use the result on the httpservice as
e4x and filter the data that way for the tree, but when I specify e4x as
resultFormat I get an error and it breaks my filtering on the datagrid...:
Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
mx.collections.ArrayCollection.
Can anyone point me in the correct direction please? There must be a way to
filter data that is not tree friendly..
thank-you

[flexcoders] VideoDisplay bug?! How to extend to change a private variable?
Hi,
I would normally spend more time trying to work this out first, but
I'm under a bit of pressure... There appears to be a bug in the
VideoDisplay code.
vid.close() = within the videoDisplay a private variable called
closeCalled is set to true.
vid.play() = the closeCalled variable is set to be false in the play
function.
Fine, but:
vid.close() = closeCalled=true
vid.load() = loadVideo()
vid.play() = if (closeCalled==true) {loadVideo()}
So if you load in the video this variable is not reset to false. This
means that the video gets loaded twice; once when the video is loaded
and once when the video is played...
Anyway, all this is besides the point... I just want to know how to
get around this. I've tried this:
package libraries.utility
{
import mx.controls.VideoDisplay;
public class NewVideoDisplay extends VideoDisplay
{
//private var closeCalled:Boolean = false;
public function NewVideoDisplay()
{
super();
}
override public function load():void
{
super.load();
closeCalled = false;
}
}
}
but naturally I cannot access the private variable closeCalled. How
do I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance

Re: [flexcoders] Accessing Item Renderer in a List.
All the interaction with item renderer is expected to be done via data set to it. And the feedback may be for example bubbling event (though, I use this technique very seldom). When list-based control is created it creates as many item renderer instances as needed and only substitutes data afterwards. R.

[flexcoders] Problem with measureHTMLText when using different font-sizes
Hi
I need to resize a TextArea to show all the text it got populated
with. The TextArea has to display htmlText, so I use measureHTMLText
to get the width and height of a string. According to that I calculate
the dimensions of the TextArea.
Now this all works, unless I change the font, its weight or size.
Below is an example to demonstrate this. Does anyone now how to get
the correct TextLineMetrics for styled fonts? Or does anyone have a
better way to solve this problem?
If you run the code below, you will see 3 TextAreas. The 1st one just
displays normal text, is editable and the height is fixed. Beneath it
is a Button when clicked updates the other two TextAreas to contain
the same text as the first one, but formatted as htmlText. The text in
the second TextArea is not styled, whereas in the third one it has a
greater font size. Now, if you add text to the first component and
click update, the second one resizes correctly and displays all the
text, but the third one only resizes to the same height as the second
one and because of its greater font size, might not display all the text.

Re: [flexcoders] Problem with measureHTMLText when using different font-sizes
yeah, measureHTMLText will give you trouble for this type of problem. If
you're only resizing the height and keeping the same width, you can use
textArea.textHeight and resize the textarea to that (plus border, padding,
etc). The only thing to look out for is that the textHeight property is up
to date when you ask for it. It probably will be but if it's not you may
need to call one of the validation functions (such as validateNow()) on the
TextArea or the TextArea's UITextField.

[flexcoders] HTML-like Table/Textbox behavior possible?
As a pilot project to see if we can make the move to flex, I am trying to convert some common widgets/screens that we use in the HTML/Ajax world into Flex. One widget that we have uses a standard HTML table based on percentages (100% width, various percentage TDs) that has many date picker thingies, which are made up of a text field in one TD and the calendar icon in an adjacent TD. In HTML it is pretty easy to specify percentage widths for the TDs as well as the text fields, and to have the table and all of its contents scale accordingly as the table or window is resized. Is this possible -- and PRACTICAL! -- using the existing date picker and grid container in Flex? Specifically, say that when the user's window is 100% of the screen. Well in that case, the date picker should be 100% of its maximum width, the width of the TD holding it (if we are using a grid), which say is 110 pixels. If we reduce the window to half the width, is it possible to make all of the elements of the grid -- including the date picker widget -- to also reduce by half, or 55 pixels for the text field (the icon stays the same size)? I should point out that one page in one of our web apps has 15 date pickers on it, so doing a manual calculation of how wide to make each datepicker seems impracticle. Now, I do appreciate that Flex is not HTML, so if the answer is it is not practical for Flex Apps to have this behavior then that is fine, I just need a definitive answer that I cannot provide as a newbie. (Maybe I should not be trying to do any layout with a grid to begin with?) Thanks, Ann

Re: [flexcoders] Re: VideoDisplay bug?! How to extend to change a private variable?
mx_internal is easy to access because it's just a namespace.
Simply import mx.core.mx_internal. After the imports type the line:
use namespace mx_internal;
There should be a complete discussion if you just search through the mailing

HOWEVER, mx_internal is not documented or stable. If you use it and an
update to the framework is released, there is no guarantee that the update
will not break your code. Use at your own risk.

As a pilot project to see if we can make the move to flex, I am trying to convert some common widgets/screens that we use in the HTML/Ajax world into Flex. One widget that we have uses a standard HTML table based on percentages (100% width, various percentage TDs) that has many date picker thingies, which are made up of a text field in one TD and the calendar icon in an adjacent TD. In HTML it is pretty easy to specify percentage widths for the TDs as well as the text fields, and to have the table and all of its contents scale accordingly as the table or window is resized. Is this possible -- and PRACTICAL! -- using the existing date picker and grid container in Flex? Specifically, say that when the user's window is 100% of the screen. Well in that case, the date picker should be 100% of its maximum width, the width of the TD holding it (if we are using a grid), which say is 110 pixels. If we reduce the window to half the width, is it possible to make all of the elements of the grid -- including the date picker widget -- to also reduce by half, or 55 pixels for the text field (the icon stays the same size)? I should point out that one page in one of our web apps has 15 date pickers on it, so doing a manual calculation of how wide to make each datepicker seems impracticle. Now, I do appreciate that Flex is not HTML, so if the answer is it is not practical for Flex Apps to have this behavior then that is fine, I just need a definitive answer that I cannot provide as a newbie.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Data Services installation
Are you sure you need to use FDS? I think you will be much better off evaluating Flex first as a UI development environment. If you then decide you like it for UI and you know you will need to use FDS then evaluate FDS after you have a grip on Flex. A good way to check out FDS is to use the packaged Tomcat standalone that goes with this tutorial http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/java_testdrive.html you just unzip it and run it.

The completed app could have a thousand or more i18n strings. Would it unnecessarily stress the application to have each one of these thousand strings setup with data binding?

[flexcoders] Re: How heavyweight is data binding?
I'm going to jump in here and say that if you try binding a very large number of strings you are going to have a performance penalty. I think the only benefit to not using the built in localization and ResourceBundles is a user could switch locales dynamically within the app and not have to reload the app. I considered that a positive and looked at going that route. I found however that it did slow the app down when the user switched locales mid stream. In the end I went back to using the ResourceBundle and I am much happier. The most common use case is that a user would select the locale at login or startup and not change it. well actually the most common use case is the browser will tell us the users locale and we serve the correct swf file based on that and the user never has to select anything. In the end it's less code, less overhead from binding and gives us much more control over the appearance of a specific locale.

Hi,
I would normally spend more time trying to work this out first,
but
I'm under a bit of pressure... There appears to be a bug in the
VideoDisplay code.
vid.close() = within the videoDisplay a private variable called
closeCalled is set to true.
vid.play() = the closeCalled variable is set to be false in the
play
function.
Fine, but:
vid.close() = closeCalled=true
vid.load() = loadVideo()
vid.play() = if (closeCalled==true) {loadVideo()}
So if you load in the video this variable is not reset to false.
This
means that the video gets loaded twice; once when the video is
loaded
and once when the video is played...
Anyway, all this is besides the point... I just want to know
how to
get around this. I've tried this:
package libraries.utility
{
import mx.controls.VideoDisplay;
public class NewVideoDisplay extends VideoDisplay
{
//private var closeCalled:Boolean = false;
public function NewVideoDisplay()
{
super();
}
override public function load():void
{
super.load();
closeCalled = false;
}
}
}
but naturally I cannot access the private variable closeCalled.
How
do I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance

[flexcoders] Re: Custom Component Width when 100%?
In my measure function I have:
override protected function measure():void{
measuredWidth = getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth()
measuredHeight = getExplicitOrMeasuredHeight()
}
That makes them both zero though. although my updateDisplayList gets
called twice my measure function is only called once. How should I be
setting my measure function? If we get this worked out I think I'll
be good to go, if not ill post the code. Thanks so much for your help

In theory, if you started with UIComponent, you need to implement a
measure() method to tell the parent how big you want to be. That parent
will then call setActualSize which should result in your
updateDisplayList being called with non-zero values. Again, if
extending UIComponent, you should be able to draw or add shapes in
updateDisplayList without causing a second call to updateDisplayList
providing that your measure() method returns the same values and nobody
else called invalidateDisplayList.
It feels like you're not quite following the formula somehwere. You

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Custom Component Width when 100%?
Ahhh HA! I was reading the adobe documentation and it turns out that
when you do addchild() it calls updateDisplayList again. This is why
my program wasn't working, I had an infinite loop when I called
addchild.
I fixed it by adding an if function with a flag.
if (_newBackground){
...
}
Since my updatedisplaylist was being called twice, once with 0
unscaledWidth and once with an unscaledWidth, I had to add another
condition.
if (_newBackground unscaledWidth != 0) {
...
}
Now I can't seem to get the component to scale with the rest of the
app when the browser window opens. I'm going to start a new thread
for that question.

So to draw in UpdateDisplayList you have to manipulate graphics like
this:
graphics.lineStyle(0,0x00, 0);
graphics.beginFill(0xff, 1);
graphics.drawRect(0,0,unscaledWidth/2,unscaledHeight);
graphics.endFill();
But what if I want to draw shapes or UIcomponents? That's why It
wasn't working for me before, i was drawing like this:
var shape:Shape = new Shape();
shape.graphics.lineStyle(0,0x00, 0);
shape.graphics.beginFill(0xff, 1);
shape.graphics.drawRect(0,0,unscaledWidth/2,unscaledHeight);
shape.graphics.endFill();
//When i do the add child my program won't load!

I watched Ely's component video and it says I can add UIComponents,

New question:
Is this the best way to scale? Is it expensive to remove and re-add

graphics and text and it seems really fast. But what if I used more
complex things like sprites or containers? Would removing all of them
then re-adding them be the best way to redraw?

Hi folks, I'm consuming webservice from a server with no crossdomain file. So, I've generated a proxy script based on wsdl file. The proxy script resides on the same server as my SWF file (I have no access to the data server, and FDS is not an option). Now, in my MXML file, I have mx:WebService, and wsdl=myProxyScript useProxy=false ... define my operation, etc. When I run it, I get the HTTP request error. I know I probably don't do it right, but I'm not sure how else I invoke a proxy script that talks to WebService. I see all the web methods inside proxy script, but I guess I'm just so dumb, that I can't figure it out. Please help! Thanks, /Roman
[flexcoders] Xml result / repeater weirdness (w Rails)
Hey Everyone,
I'm wondering if someone can shed light on this, I've had a search of
the archives but no joy and don't seem to be missing anything obvious.
PROBLEM:
I have a repeater iterating over a dataproviders currentItem, which if
only one element is in the provider works perfectly fine, as soon as
two elements exist the repeater is dumping to screen the xml tags, and
the content within them. I will explain
DESCRIPTION:
I have my little flex up hooked up to rails. I've got a fairly
standard Order 1 - 1-* Order Lines association, returned to my flex
app. Xml looks like so.. simplified.
order
id type=integer1001/id
order_lines
order_line
descriptionMy product a/description
id type=integer2773/id
product_id type=integer1/product_id
qty_ordered type=integer500/qty_ordered
/order_line
order_line
descriptionMy product b/description
id type=integer2774/id
product_id type=integer2/product_id
qty_ordered type=integer500/qty_ordered
/order_line
/order_lines
/order
Now I'm getting at the order lines through a repeater control, where
_selectedOrder was a service call to the rails app which returned the
above xml.
mx:Repeater id=rptOrderLinesView
dataProvider={_selectedOrder.order_lines} width=100% maxHeight=8
mx:HBox
mx:Text
text={rptOrderLinesView.currentItem.order_line.description}
height=16/
mx:Text
text={rptOrderLinesView.currentItem.order_line.qty_ordered}
height=16/
/mx:HBox
/mx:Repeater
So,if I have just one element in the order lines element then I get
this...
Product A 500
If I have two elements, I get this, tags and all ?
descriptionProduct A/description qty_ordered
type=integer500/qty_ordered
Now I've tried return the result set via XML or E4X. I've looked at
the result set via String transform into a debug panel, looks a-ok
(there's a few more attributes than what I've shown above, but I don't
think they contribute to it)
Any ideas ?
Thanks kindly,
Rowan

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Bad Results referencing local variables in nested loops
I forwarded this to a compiler engineer.
He says that it looks like a compiler bug, but he thinks he found a
workaround: Don't name the three Function objects in verifyContainer().
For example, instead of passing
function myContainerFunction( itemNo : int, numItems : int, items :
Array ) : Boolean { ... }
to enumerateItems(), pass
function( itemNo : int, numItems : int, items : Array ) : Boolean {
... }
He said this seems to make it work.

I noticed two peculiarities in your code: You declare

return void rather than Boolean. But when I declare them to return
Boolean and actually return true, I still see your problem.
In stepping through it in the FlexBuilder debugger, it appears that the
scope chain is different when the second item is processed than when the
first one was. I think you've found an AS3 compiler codegen bug
involving nested anonymous functions. I'll forward this to a compiler

I have been having a great time using ActionScript 3.0 and Flex

I have encountered problems which seem to be caused by Flexbuilder
or the Flashplayer runtime. The following problem is based on a
situation I have in my application uses a data structure of
embedded
objects. I replicated the problem using arrays instead of the
classes I had used. The example may seemed contrived but
reproduces
the problem without duplicating the complexity of my application.
The structure was based on data structure of page objects, which
contains several cell items. Each item has a list of animations,
and each animation has a list trigger events references. So the
nested structure looked like the following:
Pages (instance 1)
Item (instance 1)
Animation (instance 1)
Events (instance 1)
Events (instance 2)
Animation (instance 2)
Events (instance 1)
Events (instance 2)
Item (instance 2)
Animation (instance 1)
Events (instance 1)
Events (instance 2)
Animation (instance 2)
Events (instance 1)
Events (instance 2)
The setup function in my example creates this structure using
arrays. The function goodResult traverses the structure using
nested for-loops. Nested local variables at different scoping
levels are referenced and displayed during the inner most loop for
the Events (instance 1 2). This produces the expected result.
Good Results
500 200 [v:0 i:0 a: 0 e: 0]
500 200 [v:0 i:0 a: 0 e: 1]
500 200 [v:0 i:0 a: 1 e: 0]

500 200 [v:0 i:1 a: 0 e: 0]
500 200 [v:0 i:1 a: 0 e: 1]
500 200 [v:0 i:1 a: 1 e: 0]
500 200 [v:0 i:1 a: 1 e: 1]
The badResult function traverses the structure using the OO
technique of enumeration (iterator) functions. Among other
reasons,
I used this approach to make the code more readable and compact by
hiding the loop from the caller and the typecasting the values
automatically. The caller is required to send a Function which is
then called during each pass (iterator) ofthe loop. The nested
local variables this time are not displayed properly. During the
first call, the results for Events (instance 1) is correct, but
Events (instance 2) is incorrect. Subsequent calls to
the badResult function display erroneous results.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How heavyweight is data binding?
The plan is for Flex to officially support a runtime-localization strategy in the next major release. One team has managed to customize systemManager to allow an RSL of resource bundles to be brought in before the app starts up, and they choose which RSL based on locale, but that's because they couldn't wait for next major release and gamble that we don't pull that feature before we ship. Binding is slow because it is a really convenient but general feature. If you have a bunch of strings and know where they go, you should just write code to stuff them if you are concerned about performance. -Alex From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul DeCoursey Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2007 9:27 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: How heavyweight is data binding? I'm going to jump in here and say that if you try binding a very large number of strings you are going to have a performance penalty. I think the only benefit to not using the built in localization and ResourceBundles is a user could switch locales dynamically within the app and not have to reload the app. I considered that a positive and looked at going that route. I found however that it did slow the app down when the user switched locales mid stream. In the end I went back to using the ResourceBundle and I am much happier. The most common use case is that a user would select the locale at login or startup and not change it. well actually the most common use case is the browser will tell us the users locale and we serve the correct swf file based on that and the user never has to select anything. In the end it's less code, less overhead from binding and gives us much more control over the appearance of a specific locale.

I find it a ludicrous idea to have to compile resource strings directly into a SWF or SWC. Maybe I am still missing something about how Flex implements it and please tell me if I am. I find two serious issues with this method 1. You have to compile your application for EACH language you want to support. So if I want to support 30 languages I have to compile my application 30 times, storing the output in different directories, etc., etc.. Add to this that in order to support skinning I have to again compile the application for each skin. So if I have 30 languages and I want to give the option of 30 skins for each language that = 30 * 30 = 900 compiled instances of the same application. Some may say why would have that many skins. I say why not? This is EASILY accomplished with HTML. And you can't ask me 'why support 30 languages'. Anybody who has done any kind of enterprise development knows the answer to that question. 2. Related to #1 but still I don't understand why you would want to compile the i18n strings *directly* into the SWF. This means any time I want to make a single update to any string in any language I have to recompile EVERYTHING. Wow, that is insanity. Now as for my solution it is really quite simple. It is simply a singleton class that loads an XML file containing the text strings. The loading of this file is part of my bootstrap process which also loads the application configuration, inits remoting, etc.. The XML file looks like: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? language translation=en_US key id=$I18N_PROGRAMProgram/key key id=$I18N_POINTSPoints/key To get a I18N string you simple call Locale.getKey($I18N_PROGRAM) which does some other error checking but basically the only brains is: var value:String = _langXML.key.(@id == key); E4X makes this *incredibly* easy and even as I mentioned could even allow you to change every piece of text in your entire running application instantly by simply loading another xml file. The original question of this thread though is 'is having that many bindings feasible'. If it isn't I don't really mind as all it means is telling the user to restart the application. Since users don't exactly switch languages often this isn't an unreasonable thing to ask. The

measuredWidth= circle.getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth() +

addchild.
I fixed it by adding an if function with a flag.

Since my updatedisplaylist was being called twice, once with 0

So to draw in UpdateDisplayList you have to manipulate graphics like

graphics.beginFill(0xff, 1);
graphics.drawRect(0,0,unscaledWidth/2,unscaledHeight);
graphics.endFill();

I'm working on one of those new MacBook Pros, with the Intel chip. No Flash 9 AS3 preview for me.

So I'm wondering, is it possible to add frames to a programmatically created AS3 MovieClip, and then populate those frames dynamically? Will nextFrame() called on the last frame of a MovieClip still move the playhead?.. or return some kind of error?.. or just not do anything? I'll be experimenting with all this stuff over the next couple of days, trying to come up with a solution, but if anyone knows anything I'd appreciate the feedback. Also, if you happen to know that there's no way to do what I'm asking... and you happen to have the Flash 9 AS3 preview... would you mind making a few empty AS3 MovieClip SWFs? To be safe, I think one each at 7, 14, 21, and 28 frames would be great. That's not too much trouble is it? Okay, infinite thank yous in advance. //Matthew Anthony Hayes

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Scaling Custom Components
Thanks everyone for your response. Now that I understand how children
are added/removed i can take out some of my work arounds in other
projects!
The scaling works great now.
New question:
Is this the best way to scale? Is it expensive to remove and re-add
all the components when I want to redraw? In this component I have
graphics and text and it seems really fast. But what if I used more
complex things like sprites or containers? Would removing all of them
then re-adding them be the best way to redraw?
Thanks guys.

Hey Alex,
if 0 == childA
can you insert childB at 99 for example.
if so if you remove childA does childB's index change?
can you ensure that you're child will remain at an index?

Look at the code for removeAllChildren.
It will either removeChildAt(0) j times or iterate backwards.

Subject: [flexcoders] Scaling Custom Components
I have a custom component that adds multiple shapes during
UpdateDisplayList. When I scale the browser it calls update
display
list and draws over all of my shapes.
I have tried:
j = this.numChildren;
for (i=0; ij; i++){
this.removeChildAt(i);
}
Before I write redraw my shapes in UpdateDisplayList. I always
get an
outofbounds error after i exceed numAutomationChildren(?). If i
try
the same loop with numAutomationChildren nothing disappears.
It won't let me call this.removeAllChildren (i think because I'm
extending an UIComponent and not a Container)! Isnt there a way
for
me to get all those shapes outta there?
Maybe I'm taking the wrong approach.
Thanks in advance,
Nate
[flexcoders] PopUpManager Problem
I need some help with an error I am getting when using the popupmanager.
Essentially the problem I am having is if I dynamically load SWFs from
my main application and more than one of the SWF uses the popupmanager I
receive an error. The specific error I am getting is:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.
at mx.managers::PopUpManager$/addPopUp()
at mx.controls::Alert$/show()
at Tab2/::onClick()
at Tab2/___Button1_click()
My test app to reproduce this problem is essentially on the main
application a tabnavigator with two VBox as the tabs. The SWF files then
get loaded dynamically into those VBox. The two SWF files only contain a
button to press and it displays an Alert (the builtin Alert uses
PopUpManager).
Has anyone seen this error before and can shed some insight?

Hey all, I have a bit of an odd question. I'm working on a project in which I'd like to include some somewhat intricate Flash animations... unfortunately... (sort of)... I'm working on one of those new MacBook Pros, with the Intel chip. No Flash 9 AS3 preview for me. I'd like to keep moving on the project, but as you probably know, Adobe is not shipping (and therefor not making available for download?) the new Flash CS3 until the end of April. So I'm wondering, is it possible to add frames to a programmatically created AS3 MovieClip, and then populate those frames dynamically? Will nextFrame() called on the last frame of a MovieClip still move the playhead?.. or return some kind of error?.. or just not do anything? I'll be experimenting with all this stuff over the next couple of days, trying to come up with a solution, but if anyone knows anything I'd appreciate the feedback. Also, if you happen to know that there's no way to do what I'm asking... and you happen to have the Flash 9 AS3 preview... would you mind making a few empty AS3 MovieClip SWFs? To be safe, I think one each at 7, 14, 21, and 28 frames would be great. That's not too much trouble is it? Okay, infinite thank yous in advance. //Matthew Anthony Hayes

[flexcoders] Center alignment problem
I have a viewstack, that contains two sub components. One (the first)
is simply a small login panel. (its actually just a canvas with text
fields and a header etc inside it). The second is what is shown once
the user is logged in; its also a large canvas, with a function app
inside that component.
So my code looks like this:
mx:ViewStack width=800 height=600 maxHeight=600 maxWidth=800
selectedChild={getView(false)} id=myViewStack
view:LoggedInView id=LoggedInView /
view:loginPanel id=LoginView /
/mx:ViewStack
So I want to have the loginPanel displayed in the center of the
available real estate, regardless of screen real estate, (some viewers
might be 1024x 768 and some might be 800 x 600) is there anyway to
automatically center the loginPanel component in the parent view stack?

a couple of options:
1) change your login control to a popup titlewindow instead and use
popupmanager to center it to the viewstack
2) put your login control in a mx:Box control that takes up the
full size of the viewstack and has verticalAlign set to middle and
horizontalAlign set to center.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Variable width ListItems
You put a repeater inside a hbox and set dataprovider of the repeater to what you're using on the list box. It's not normally best practice to do this, that's why Alex asked if you had a lot of items in the list. Using a repeater is much slower in rendering time than a list.
