[flexcoders] Initialize does not work for embedded swf's in Flex

[{reduxdj}]

neither does creationComplete or complete

I was trying to access a swf's methods from an embedded swf to no 
success?  If i load it in then it works... any ideas? 

Why can't i access the methods and properties of an embedded swf in a flash?

Thanks,
Patrick

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Component kit 4 flash - I wish it did...

[{reduxdj}]

Yeah, flexbuilder has a bug, because I retyped the exact line and then 
it worked fine.  Also, the refresh issue is a quirk too - but at least I 
know about it.

I have some issues with how flex integrates UIMovieClip.

OK SWFLoader is a UIComponent, so you can apply effects to it like any 
other UIComponent.  But you can't use that to call methods etc...(I 
never messed with local Connection class yet ;)

However, UIMovieClip does support calling methods and events... but it 
can't have effects applied to it because it's not a UIComponent in the 
flex sort of
of way.  So, Now I realize after a day of messing around that I can't do 
what I want to do with Flex in this fashion, maybe
I could use the localConnection class to call methods,  I guess i expect 
a component called UIMagic that does everything.

Any suggestions on how to do both, ok now to read up localconnection class.


Thanks,
Patrick

[flexcoders] Using Database Data For Hard Coded Flex swfs

[boybles]

How can I use database data to be used as hard-coded values when I 
compile a Flex swf (so that the client doesn't need to make remoting 
calls to retrieve the data)?  I was thinking of populating comboboxes 
for units of measure, state names, city names, etc...things that don't 
change often...and when they do, I could recompile the swf.  The 
database would be the easiest way for me to maintain that data (rather 
than put this data in xml files).  Any suggestions/examples would be 
very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Boybles

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Component kit

[leds usop]

no. it can be placed in the mxml declaration of the
component itself.

[flexcoders] UIMovieClip

[{reduxdj}]

So i am digging into the UIMovieClip. . am i am a little bummed, i tried 
to apply a zoom effect and I got an error that says "effectStarted" 
property not found on my object?  How do i work around this... I thought 
UIMovieClip had the same functionality as UIComponent - more or less.

How do i zoom my component?

Any help out there?

Hi,



I have a datagrid with variable row height( multiline rows). If the 

height of last row is bigger than the other rows, then only half of it 

is visible and half is below the visible area. 



I need to set the verticalScrollPosit ion so that the complete row is 

visible. My class inherits from DataGrid class. And the 

verticalscrollposit ion in datagrid is based on number of rows and not 

on piexels.



How do i set the complete last row fully visible, any ideas?

  What if you were to create "ac" like this:

var ac:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(myXML.menu as Array);

The way that I interpret the ArrayCollection (or XMLListCollection)
source property rule is that you must use the methods to modify
the "source" and don't rely on it's setter method (setting the
property directly as in ac.source = myXML.menu as Array;).

source
property


source:Array [read-write]

The source of data in the ArrayCollection. The ArrayCollection
object does not represent any changes that you make directly to the
source array. Always use the ICollectionView or IList methods to
modify the collection.

Let me know if that works.

Re: [flexcoders] DataGrid + Web Service

[leds usop]

for our case, we did the sorting at the back end -
overriding the default behavior of the datagrid
headers when they are clicked and then returning the
pagenated data after sorting. It really is - in
essence - changing the dataprovider of the datagrid
during both page requests and sorting requests.  This
however necessiated that we come up with a 'selection
manager' helper class to go with the component. What
this class does is just to remember which items had
been selected and reload/reselect those selections
when the user goes back to that page or in the case of
sorting, when an item in that selection manager is
encountered on a loaded page.  But if you are not
dealing with multiple selections then you can do away
with that helper class.

1) Use the style explorer as mentioned above to see what css styles
you can change (colors, cornerRadius, etc)

2) Import graphic elements from photoshop/flash and set them as skins
on the components

3) Use programmatic skins to create custom skins for your components

4) Use a skin developed by other people as a custom skin. There are a
few at scalenine.com

[flexcoders] datagrid overlay while loading data

[Derrick Anderson]

how can i display an image sort of how adobe does on their exchange over a 
datagrid when data is loading from a remote object?  would like to show the 
little circle-thingy over the datagrid so it does not just look blank for a few 
seconds.  how do you guys do that?

(not just datagrids either, any visual object that is waiting for a response 
before it gets populated)

thanks in advance,
d.

It appears to be lower than that. What max default are you referring  
to, and can it be increased?

I made a similar test in which I scaled the image directly and the  
image displays ok at 7680x4969 but then stops displaying it all when  
I zoom in one more to 7920x5124.

[flexcoders] Re: Flash/Flex and EXE

[Doug Lowder]

Interesting... The projector exe I created from my Flex 1.5/AS2 app 
runs fine up until I try to access a feature that makes a remote 
object call, and then the calls never return.  I thought it was 
because Flex 1.5 required a server.  Is that a distinction between 
Flex 1.5 as opposed to just AS2?

That is not correct.
You can make remote calls/access resources on the web just fine from a 
standalone projector or an .exe created with a 3rd party 
wrapper (like Zinc).

I don't think the Projector approach will work for your case.  I know
with AS2, the browser was required for remoting calls using
HTTPService and the like, and I haven't heard of anything changing
with AS3.  It should be simple enough to test if you want to be

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 1.5 dispatchEvent and addEventListener question

[Doug Lowder]

Hi Dave,

Are you getting an error with the addEventListener() call, or are you 
just not able to detect the event? The call looks correct so I don't 
see why that wouldn't work.  Also, if you are creating your 
components in mxml with , you should be able to define 
the event handler in the declaration with 
eventThrown="myCompEventThrown(event.target)".  Maybe you could post 
some code illustrating the problem.

[flexcoders] DataGrid + Web Service

[Ravindra Wankar]

I've created a DataGrid (with pagination) populated from a web service. 
Since not all data is sent back, the Datagrid's sort function only sorts 
within the results.  How do I add a hook that allows me to fetch sorted 
data from the server? Also, is there a better out-of-the-box component 
for doing pagination and this?

Thanks
Ravi.

[flexcoders] Re: Flash/Flex and EXE

I don't think the Projector approach will work for your case.  I know 
with AS2, the browser was required for remoting calls using 
HTTPService and the like, and I haven't heard of anything changing 
with AS3.  It should be simple enough to test if you want to be 
absolutely sure.

[flexcoders] Input Language on Mac

[jomyoot]

Using a Flex app on a Mac, I am unable to switch my input language.

However, using the same Flex app on Windows XP, I am able to switch my input

pressing ~ which is typical for any program).

I am testing this on a Flex app I wrote, and also the Flex app at this link:

Is there a work around that would allow me to enter text in other language on a

Re: [flexcoders]Can't convert XML to ArrayCollection in AS3

[bill_sahlas]

What if you were to create "ac" like this:

var ac:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(myXML.menu as Array);


The way that I interpret the ArrayCollection (or XMLListCollection) 
source property rule is that you must use the methods to modify 
the "source" and don't rely on it's setter method (setting the 
property directly as in ac.source = myXML.menu as Array;).

source
  property
 

source:Array  [read-write] 

The source of data in the ArrayCollection. The ArrayCollection 
object does not represent any changes that you make directly to the 
source array. Always use the ICollectionView or IList methods to 
modify the collection. 

Let me know if that works.
