[flexcoders] Re: xml to e4x Help Please!!!
The example that you pasted contains errors and there's no XML
provided. Please send a compilable simplified example. Btw, I'm using
E4X by just loading XML with URLLoader and then typing the result as
XML. It's brilliant.

[flexcoders] Setting the styles to Text .htmlText at runtime
I have a string that goes somthing like this:
var str:String = p class=\H1\section/p;
var str:String += p class=\TXT\main text/p;
and then I populate the Text component like this:
txtPage.htmlText = str;
Now, I want to add styles to this text through class attributes that I
provided in the HTML. In Flash 8 this is pretty straightforward but I
couldn't figure out how to do it in Flex.
In Flash I would create a StyleSheet, then add some styles with
setStyle(), and finaly assign a StyleSheet to TextField.
In Flex, I tried something similar but it didn't work. I did this:
var style:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
style.setStyle(.H1,{fontWeight:bold});
style.setStyle(.TXT,{color:#FF});
txtPage.styleName = style;
It didn't work, then I tried:
var newStyleDeclaration:CSSStyleDeclaration = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
newStyleDeclaration.setStyle(.TXT, {color:#FF});
newStyleDeclaration.setStyle(.H1, {fontWeight:bold});
StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration(.style1, newStyleDeclaration, true);
txtBook.styleDeclaration = newStyleDeclaration; // didn't work
txtBook.styleDeclaration =
StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(.style1); // didn't work
Then finally I tried this:
txtPage.setStyle(.H1,{fontWeight:bold, textAlign:center});
txtPage.setStyle(.TXT,{color:#FF});
For all the options I tried both the .H1 and the H1 style syntax
(with and without the dot).
I think I'm missing the obvious here. I'm sure it can't be too
complicated.
Thanks.

mx_internal is the namespace for internal stuff in the Flex framework.
You can access this stuff but it comes with no guarantee (and can/will
break in future versions).

In the subclass, I'm providing a getter/setter for the styleSheet

Well, you can generally subclass any of the framework components and
use them in MXML. See the tutorials for an example of how to do this.
I don't know how it works in Flex Builder/design view.

Re: [flexcoders] compc help
If you're setting configuration file like -load-config papervision.xml it replaces default flex-config.xml, thus you should specify path to the framework libraries.

I've got a pretty good proof of concept that works like so: target.cachePolicy = 'on' mask.filters = [new BlurFilter(20,20)] Sure enough, that creates a nice feather on the mask. Trouble is that the mask now refuses to be rendered in negative space. Even though I can trace the mask co-ordinates and verify they are in negative space, the mask shape renders on screen as if it was set at 0, 0. I've tried a few combinations of this, and I give up.

Than I changed the project compile settings adding '-locale it_IT'. Well, nothing changed and, in particular, DateFormatter still returns english formatted strings (ie 'Sun 15 Jan' vs 'Dom 15 Gen'). You have to rebuild framework_rb.swc. ant -f build_framework.xml -Dflex.locale=it_IT build-framework-rb This will place a new framework_rb.swc in your locale's directory.

[flexcoders] Flash cache probem when flash is embedded in a asp.net page
I have embedded a flash into a asp.net page, and i want the flash to be cached by browsers. But the the flash embedded in the aspx Page will not be cached.So the flash will be reloaded everytime your revisit the page.And if i embed the flash into a html file ,there is no such probems. it seems that when the page are generated dynamically , the flash will not be cached. Does anyone know the reason and a solution. I also found that the page http://www.flex.org/blogs/ http://www.flex.org/blogs/ ,which is generated dynamically, has embedded a flash. And the flash will be cached. Then i digged out that the page will first embed a iframe ,which cotains the flash. Since the iframe is html file ,the flash will be cached. I am not sure if this is the only solution for the cache problem. Is there better solution? Thanks.
RE: [flexcoders] LinearAxis - need help with value ordering! (Repost with sample code)
The kludgey answer is:
1) Invert all your values (5 becomes -5)
2) Add labelFunctions to your axis (and possibly dataTip functions)
to re-invert the values before they get displayed on screen.
There's no functionality in the charts right now to just tell an axis to
render top to bottom.

[flexcoders] Datagrid - case-insensitive sort
Hi, When I click on a column header to sort a datgrid column the sort is case sensitive e.g. the values aa, AA, bb, BB are displayed as AA BB aa bb I can't find a way to tell the Datagrid (or DatagridColumn) to sort in a case-insensitive manner. Can someone please enlighten me? Thanks, Paul.

[flexcoders] Flash Component *.swc not working in Flex ... help ...
I have installed the Extension for Flash CS3 and updated Flex to latest 2.01 that supports the Flash Components. I made a simple Flash CS3 a symbol and clicked the Commands - Make Flex Components and got: Command made the following changes to the FLA: Turned on Permit Debugging Turned on Export SWC Set frame rate to 24 Imported UIMovieClip component to library Component FlashComp is ready to be used in Flex. So far so good... I continued by clicking on the symbol and selected export to SWC and saved to a folder. Continued to go to Flex Builder and added swc under my project's library path. All seems ok. when I do: var a:FlashComp = new FlashComp(); Flex Builder finishes the word FlashComp for me so it does see the component. However, I do get an error of: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method FlashComp I also tried saving the FlashComp.swc in the root dir of the project and did: local:FlashComp id=ABC/ with no luck. Any Help would be great ... Regards, Sean - HeliHobby.com

As to docs, I'm not sure. I mostly looked up things from the flex docs or from the archives of lists like this. As to multiple files, I'm not. I know you can match a whole source folder with -include-sources, but not with wildcards. If you're running the compiler from the shell, then you may be able to use wildcards with sources (because they're paths, not AS3 class definition names, but in that case it would be the shell resolving the wildcard, not the compiler.

Here's a simple component that draws a 100x100 rectangle.
package {
import flash.display.*;
import mx.core.*;
public class RectangleComponent extends UIComponent {
override protected function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number):void
{
super.updateDisplayList();
var g:Graphics = this.graphics;
g.clear();
g.beginFill(0xFF);
g.drawRect(0, 0, w, h);
g.endFill();
}
}
}
In your application's MXML code:
mx:VBox
local:RectangleComponent xmlns:local=* width=100 height=100 /
/mx:VBox
Note that in Flex components should ideally delegate any graphics work
to a skin class, and any colours, etc., should come from CSS styles
(as opposed to being hard-coded in the component's code).

[flexcoders] binding and dataProvider.filterFunction
I have a class that manages a var called
allAvailableCategories:ArrayCollection.
I have a list that would like to use that variable as the basis for
its output, but only output a subset, say those categories starting
with the letter 'A'.
Now, since the allAvailableCategories collection can be modified by
other controls, I would like to bind the data provider of the list to
the allAvailableCategories variable, and use a filterFunction to limit
the output in the list.
It seems that setting the filterFunction is affecting the
allAvailableCategories variable when I trace the length of the
allAvailableCategories variable after the listData is refreshed.
Why?
here is the code:
model:CategoryData id=categoryData /
mx:ArrayCollection id=listData /
mx:Binding source={categoryData.allAvailableCategories}
destination=listData /
mx:List id=categoryList dataProvider={listData} /
mx:Script

[flexcoders] Re: Html Text does NOT print in same format as rendered on scre
John,
I ended up going a different route.. i'll use this technique in the
future. It was a great expirement. The print quality just wasn't
good enough.
Anyway, I wrote a recursive routine to find all Text controls, then
manually reset their heights for printing. For reasons, unknown to
me, when you add a couple pixels to the height of Text object, then
print, ALL lines print.
Each time i found a Text control in my DisplayObject being added to
the printJob, i determined line count (oddly, no built in lineCount
property), went through each line and got the lineMetrics and
calculated a new height, plus added a few pixels to be sure. I did
all this between calling my printJob.start() and printJob.send().
Oh, setting my printJob.printAsBitmap to false is also very good for
quality and they suggest that in the docs if not printing images or
non-vector stuff... the print quality is crystal clear!
I agree this is a hack... but when there's LITTLE documentation and
it doesn't work as expected i was under the gun to get something out
since i released my app... before testing all printing scenarios...
--Scott
Turning off printAsBitmap on the print job seems to condense the text
a little so if you only have one word on the last line, it's possible
that it's brought up to the previous line. This may cause an extra
blank space when printed, minor issue, but all text prints, the most
important thing.
I went through several different fonts and sizes and now very rairly,
a letter gets clipped on the right, i'll figure this out later.

Even so though... the bitmap image is pretty darn close to the

[flexcoders] Re: Help! Object integrity across DataService.commit()
Pete / Jeff.
I think I need to start from the basics here. I have been poring
through endless logs but I have some unanswered questions at the
beginning which I think I need to sort out first.
The basic unanswered issue for me is that when I lazily load a child
the parent reference is null. I never do anything to address this in
code (i.e. I do not populate the parent object reference). Should I?
Here is what my destinations look like (.'s for readability):
destination id=portfolio.spring
.adapter ref=java-dao /
.properties
..sourcebeanPortfolioAssembler/source
..factoryspring/factory
..metadata
...identity property=uid/
...one-to-many property=planpoints destination=planpoint.spring
lazy=true/
../metadata
./properties
/destination
destination id=planpoint.spring
.adapter ref=java-dao /
.properties
..sourcebeanPlanPointAssembler/source
..factoryspring/factory
..metadata
...identity property=uid/
...many-to-one property=parent destination=portfolio.spring
lazy=true/
../metadata
./properties
/destination
Notice there is a bi-directional one-to-many relationship, both ends
of which are defined as lazily loaded. My flex application has
DataService object which is bound to portfolio.spring. I call the
standard fill method supplying an ArrayCollection object to hold the
results and the ID of the currently connected user:
[Bindable] public var activePortfolios:ArrayCollection = new
ArrayCollection();
private var ds_po:DataService = new DataService(portfolio.spring);
private function getPortfolios(authenticatedUser:User):void
{
..ds_po.fill(activePortfolios, authenticatedUser.uid);
}
I have no client reference to planpoint.spring. On fill I populate
and return a list of Portfolio objects. Each Portfolio object has a
Set called planpoints which I populate with PlanPoint objects which
are empty except for their uid. This means I do not send back a
populated parent reference in the initial fill from portfolio.spring.
I'm not sure whether that is correct or not. Can I rely on data
services to wire that up correctly or should I be sending back a stub
Portfolio object with its uid?
Here is what my value objects look like. I am omitting most of the
pojo code for brevity, all members are accessed by standard getters
and setters. I have an equivalent set of AS objects on the flex side:
public class Portfolio extends PojoBase implements IPojo
{
...
..private String uid = new String();
..private SetPlanPoint planpoints = new HashSetPlanPoint();
...
}
public class PlanPoint extends PojoBase implements Serializable, IPojo
{
...
..private transient Portfolio parent;
..private String uid = new String();
...
}
So on initial fill I have:
PortfolioObject
..uid=XXX
..planpoints
PlanPointObject
..uid=YYY
..parent=null
..everythingelse=null
I then get server side calls through planpoint.spring when the lazy
loading of the children kicks in. The getItem calls contain the uids
of the partially populate objects that I returned on fill as expected.
I then send back fully populated PlanPoint objects EXCEPT I never
populate the parent. Not surprisingly when my PlanPoint arrives on
the client side it has a null parent.
PlanPointObject
..uid=YYY
..parent=null
..everythingelse=something
What should I be sending back? The back reference to the parent is
lazily loaded accorinding to the definition of planpoint.spring above
and the PlanPoint is being returned in response to an itemPendingError
on the client side because a stub PlanPoint is being accessed in the
context of a Portfolio. The Portfolios live in a managed collection.
Should I reply to the planpoint.spring.getItem message with a
PlanPoint object containing a stub Portfolio object with its uid
populated?
I think that until I make sure I have this part correct it is useless
for me to look deeper into my issue.
Am I doing the right thing here?
As ever I really appreciate your help. This is currently standing
between me and production code.

[flexcoders] Re: Shouldn't this VBox have a scrollbar?
You would think so... however, i have found that you have to set the
height of a vBox to a pixel height, not percentage to get the
scrollbars to act the way you want them to.
By default a vBox's height will autosize to the combined height, plus
verticalGap... of all it's children, UNLESS you set it's pixel
height, which then properly display's scrollbars.
In this case, I would bind the height of the vBox to it's parent
canvas height, that should do it.
This is very weird to me as well, and if you contrain the layout of
the vbox to be top=0 and bottom=0, as if you are wanting to anchor or
dock it so it resizes when the parent resizes, it won't work either.
The height must be set to a pixel height. To get around this i had
to tie into the resize even of my parent container and convert the
size of my vbox appropriately... annoying, not what i expected i
would have to do.
hope that helps some

[flexcoders] Re: Shouldn't this VBox have a scrollbar?
Oh, and one more thing, hopefully i don't butcher this.
As explain to me before, using constrained layout on objects does not
actually resize them, just anchors them based on teh top, bottom,
left and right properties. That's why you can't anchor a vBox on all
sides and expect the scrollbars to appear correctly.
Constrained layout is NOT equal to Docking as some other editors,
such as in Visual Studio refer to it.
This is wierd if you anchor on all 4 sides, put a border on your vbox
and it does appear to grow with the parent display object it's anchor
against, but again, the vbox size, at least for calculating
scrollbars is NOT aware of this. I assume this is very similar to
using 100% values for width and height.
Weird and certain not what i would expect.

Oh, and one more thing, hopefully i don't butcher this.
As explain to me before, using constrained layout on objects does not
actually resize them, just anchors them based on teh top, bottom,
left and right properties. That's why you can't anchor a vBox on all
sides and expect the scrollbars to appear correctly.
Constrained layout is NOT equal to Docking as some other editors,
such as in Visual Studio refer to it.
This is wierd if you anchor on all 4 sides, put a border on your vbox
and it does appear to grow with the parent display object it's anchor
against, but again, the vbox size, at least for calculating
scrollbars is NOT aware of this. I assume this is very similar to
using 100% values for width and height.
Weird and certain not what i would expect.

[flexcoders] Re: Shouldn't this VBox have a scrollbar?
I suspect you may get closer to what you are looking for if you make
the height of each of your canvases in your vbox 33%, e.g.
mx:Canvas width=100% height=33% backgroundColor= green/
mx:Canvas width=100% height=33% backgroundColor= green/
mx:Canvas width=100% height=34% backgroundColor= green/
I presume you are deliberately switching the scrollbar off with
verticalScrollPolicy=off on the parent canvas.
The vbox is being told to occupy all of the available parent real
estate, but then being told to be 3 x 200 tall because of its
contents, and then not the scroll bar is disallowed.
Why not make your top level canvas the right size for your control?

Hi Jas,
I expect the measuredHeight to be 612, which it is. The problem is
that I also expect the VBox to respect the height of its parent
canvas (300) and thus display a vertical scrollbar.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Shouldn't this VBox have a scrollbar?
Simon,
I don't want the parent canvas to own the scrollbar. If I let the
parent own the scrollbar, it obscures the right-most content of the
VBox (or displays a horizontal scrollbar if I let it). I want the
vbox to respect the height=100% and thus have a height of 300 (in
this example) and display a vertical scrollbar.
As Scott pointed out, binding the height of the VBox to the height of
the parent achieves the result I'm looking for. I just expected the
VBox to behave this way already.
The code I sent is a test case to illustrate the problem I've run
into in my app. My app has a bunch of tabs and this particular tab
contains a VBox that I'm using to display an arbitrary number of
items that have varying heights. (Let's say it's a list of 20 blog
entries). I'm using a VBox instead of a List control for several
reasons, the two big ones being that I need smooth scrolling
(itemRenderers in a List don't move as you scroll). and variable-
height items. I started out using a List with variableRowHeight, but
it was a pain. Since I didn't need any of the other List
functionality and VBox provided everything I needed plus the smooth
scrolling, here I am.
Thanks,
Tom

Re: [flexcoders] Stopping embedded flash in Flex
There is no interoperability between AS3 and AS2 apps that means you can't control or invoke anything in loaded SWF8 ( or less) from a SWF9 or more..

Infact, there are some projects around this problem. http://www.flashextensions.com/blog/2006/12/11/swfadapter-%E2%80%93-proxy-to-communicating-to-flash-8-swfs-from-flash-9/ -abdul On 5/3/07, Manish Jethani [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 5/2/07, John [EMAIL PROTECTED] wablam%40gmail.com wrote: I have a ViewStack that has a SWFLoader as one of the views.

I think you want to do this instead:

i.e. remove the binding and use the source property of the collection.
