[flexcoders] Restoring property values after an effect
Is there a way to automatically restore all property values back to how they were before an effect is run? What I am doing is basically allowing someone to pass me an Effect object which I will play against a given target. I have no idea what the effect is but after it is finished playing I want to restore everything back to how it was before the effect ran so I can run the effect again or run another effect. I dont really want to have to save every conceivable property on the target and then reset them, and I wondered if there is something in the Effect system that will do this for me. Example, though its not needed in case where say its a FadeIn and the alpha is coming up to 1 but if you run a FadeOut the alpha runs to 0 so you need to restore the alpha value back to 1 so you can run again. A SlideIn effect is OK but a SlideOut effect leaves the target in the wrong place for the next run. Although I could really handle these specific cases by writing specifc code I wanted something generic that would work for any conceivable Effect. Tks
[flexcoders] Note to ADOBE people
Dear Adobe People, In the act of using Flex and in anticipation of tomorrow's SilvaFUG, I thought of this email to write. First and foremost, the Flex 3 upgrade went very nicely and has been a pleasurable update. You indeed made Flex even better. I was actually able to get Resource Bundles to work. Yay! I want you to know that I am having as much fun using and learning Flex as I did when I started Cold Fusion in 1996 as a sophomore in high school. I have spent many happy hours in front of a computer because of these two products. So, thank you. I know it takes a lot of work to do what you are doing. Peace, Ariel Jakobovits BTW, Can we A) change the Flex icons back, B) Replace all private vars in the source code with protected ones, C) make the live notes updatable by the public so someone could clean up the mistakes and clear corrective comments every so often, and D) fix the weird Build Project loses focus behavior in Builder? Or, perhaps tell me where to put these requests where they will be seen and perhaps voted upon by the community because frankly I don't know where to.

[flexcoders] Deleting an Item from a List
Hi! I have a List (populated via a dataProvider) and in each of the list items, I have a Close button. What is the best way to remove the item when the Close button is clicked? I understand I must remove the data from the dataProvider instead of just deleting the list item, but how do you get the index of the list item based on which button is clicked? I have tried using the list's selectedIndex, but that's not really how you want to do it because the list item won't necessarily be the one selected when the close button is clicked (it'll screw up if you use keyboard to navigate to the button) I have tried getting the list by using thebutton.parent.parent and then do a getChildIndex(...) passing in thebutton.parent. But all I got is the number 2 all the time no matter which item I clicked on. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Datagrid itemRenderer
Hi Joan, thanks for your reply.
It works pretty fine.
I noticed something I didnt know. It seems that when you set the dataField
property of a DataGridColumn, only that particular data is passed to the
itemRenderer. But with your example, I realized the the ENTIRE value object
is passed to each DataGridColumn's itemRenderer, what allows you to create a
cell that combines more than one data field and so on.
Thanks again =)
On 6/13/07, Joan Lafferty [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
You will need to use a custom itemRenderer that overrides the set data

public class CustomComp extends Label {
override public function set data(value:Object):void

if(value != null)

if(value.qty 10) {
setStyle(color, 0xFF);

Hi all,
I want the color of the text in a particular cell of a Datagrid, modify
depending on the value of another cell, in the same record. I thought of
some function like labelFunction but it only applies to the text. I need to
modify the properties of the Label, that I think is the default
itemRenderer. I could create a custom itemRenderer too but I thought there
could be an easier way to do that.
any tips are welcome.

[flexcoders] Re: Deleting an Item from a List
Here is a sample I wrote doing the deletion.
mx:List id=mylist
mx:Array
mx:Object label=Test Entry 1 /
mx:Object label=Test Entry 2 /
mx:Object label=Test Entry 3 /
mx:Object label=Test Entry 4 /
/mx:Array
mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
mx:HBox
mx:Script
![CDATA[
override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
// set the label text
status.text = value[label];
// set it on the button also so that we can use it
// for deletion.
closeBtn.data = value;
super.data = value;
}
private function removeItem(data:Object):void
{
var index:int =
outerDocument.mylist.dataProvider.getItemIndex(data);
outerDocument.mylist.dataProvider.removeItemAt(index);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Label id=status /
mx:Button id=closeBtn label=Close click=removeItem(data)/
/mx:HBox
/mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer
/mx:List
The idea is to use the data object passed to a itemRenderer. This data
represents a item in the data provider. You can use the IList APIs on
the dataProvider to find the index and remove the item.
As I defined the itemRenderer inline I am using the outerDocument
property to access the list parent.
Let me know if it works for you.

[flexcoders] FormItemLabel with label on multiple lines problem
Hi, has anyone succesfully implemented a FormItemLabel that can have text on multiple lines instead of single line label? This way a form item could contain longer label texts without making a very wide form...

So I was wondering if anyone has a working solution to this already? Thanks, Mika

[flexcoders] A Question of AS3 Object Equality and Collections
Hi All, In AS3 we have only the Object, Array, and Dictionary to use for collections (as far as I know!). I'm posting this unless I am missing something about how AS3 handles equality in collections. I'm using QName objects but I guess anything could do. Consider the following: var nameSpace1: Namespace = new Namespace(http://foo http://foo ); var nameSpace2: Namespace = new Namespace(http://bar http://bar ); var qname1: QName = new QName(nameSpace,bob); var qname2: QName = new QName(nameSpace,bob); var qname3: QName = new QName(nameSpace2,bob); trace(are equal1 : + (qname1 == qname2)); trace(are equal2 : + (qname1 === qname2)); trace(are equal3 : + (qname1 == qname3)); Gives : true false false Good. AS3 believes qname1 qname2 are equal, and qname2 and qname3 are not. Excellent. Good start. However: var a: Array = new Array(); a.push(qname1); trace(a.indexOf(qname2) -1); Ooops. They are not quite the same after all. So, with this behaviour different part of my framework cannot create a QName and put in an Array for other classes to get out with their own QName objects - even though AS3 says they are equal. Perhaps I could use a Dictionary. However it is based on '===' strict equality and doesn't fit the bill because of that. In fact, try adding a QName as a key to a Dictionary like: var nameSpace: Namespace = new Namespace(http://foo;); var qname: QName = new QName(nameSpace,bar); var d:Dictionary = new Dictionary(); d[qname] = why does this blow up?; gives an explosion: ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property http://foo::bar on flash.utils.Dictionary. you simpy cannot use a Dictionary object for QNames. I've tried it in 10 different ways (namespaces with/without prefixes etc etc). I'll post this separately I reckon. Bottom line: Do I have to create my own collections classes (a la Java) and use my own equality mechanisms... ? All replies appreciated. Greg.

[flexcoders] Re: how to display values in flex reading from a jsp an retriving the data's fr
I never passed any data frm jsp to FLex. Is that JSP alone your
solution?. You can use java methods and beans to do the same thing.
Accessing Java methods using RemoteObjects.
What error do you get ?
if JSP the only option you have then try validating the XML format.
Sometimes when you use improper xml it might not work properly.
Check for the jsp file path.
Or try making the jsp to a XML file by changing the
applicationContent. and try accessing the XMl directly.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 3 Beta is now available!
Gunnar, although I've not tried this yet, I think that you may be able to pre-authenticate with BASIC auth if you set the Authorization header on HTTPService. I recently discovered that the Authorization header is not one of the request headers disallowed by flash.net.URLRequest (which is ultimately used by by HTTPService to prepare a request to send over HTTP) so this approach should be technically possible. Note that you will need to Base64 encode the credentials from the String username:password into an encoded form. myHTTPService.headers.Authorization = Basic + base64EncodedCredentials; Note that there is an undocumented mx.utils.Base64Encoder class in Flex that we plan to formally document in Flex 3.0.

[flexcoders] SWFLoader weirdness when using separated applicationDomain
Hi there. I ran into weird issue with swfloader component. I need to load into host flex application different swf (flex, flash etc) from external developers. So the choice was to use separated ApplicationDomain for swfloader, like: var appDomain = new ApplicationDomain(); swfLoader.loaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, new ApplicationDomain()); swfLoader.load(someFlexFile.swf) It actually loads specified swf but the loaded content behaves weird - Mostly it throws such errors: at Object$/Object::_hasOwnProperty() at Object/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::hasOwnProperty() And it absolutely doesn't following layout rules of parent container. When I use same application domain as host or child application domain all works nice and smooth. But that's not the solution as 1. we need it to have in different applicationdomain as sometimes there could be used same classes but different version of it. 2. loaded swf's have their individual styles and while loading with same or child applicationdomain - the host application domain style is replaced with loaded one -- Best regards, Oleg Filipchuk
Re: [flexcoders] Errors after 2.0.1
For me the problem was that I created a MXML project that specified an AS
file that had the same name.
For example:
Test.mxml contains:
mx:Script source=Test.as/mx:Script
Apparently this is not recommended.
I simply renamed my AS file and all was well.

I had built some Flex Applications prior to 2.0.1 that are now

I have a pretty simple MXML file that contains a Script tag with the

The AS contains two simple functions:
private function AppInit():void
{
trace('init');
}
private function go():void
{
output_ta.text = 'hello\n';
}
When I upgraded to 2.0.1 I saw errors pointing to the two functions
in
the AS file, both saying:
1013: The private attribute may be used only on class property
definitions.
When I look at Properties for the project under the Flex
Applications
section it lists test.mxml (default) and test.as.
When I remove test.as and click OK the errors go away.
If I then choose Run Debug or Run Run everything is fine.
If I choose Alt+Shift+D,F (listed as Debug Flex Application), the
errors reappear and test.as is back in the project properties.
What gives?
Btw, I've been using this key sequence because it was listed in the
Keys section of the Preferences as Debug Flex Application. What is
the
difference between this and choosing Run Debug?

Not 100% sure, but QNames have special privileges in AS as they generally get evaluated before applied as a property lookup. If you do d[http://foo::bar http://foo::bar/ ], what happens?

time. First one shows up correctly. Second and third are blank

Please forgive the intrusion of contacting you directly, but I saw
you post several times on a related topic in the flexcoders mailing
list, and - after not receiving a response to my own query on the
list, thought you might be able to save me hours of wall-to-head-
banging with just a few seconds worth of advice.
It seems that a viewStack component that contains a SWFLoader is
not
successfully loading the SWF of the second and further panes.
Frankly, I can't believe that's the case, because surely someone
else
would have noticed this. I assume it's an elementary error on my
part.
The following mxml demonstrates the problem. I'm binding the
repeater to an ArrayCollection of filenames that should be used as
a
source for SWFLoaders inside the Repeater. This only loads the
first
pane, even when clicking on the second or third pane.
I must be doing this in either a wrong or non-standard way. Is
there
any way you could point to an easier way to accomplish what I'm
trying to do here?

I think there's a little further I'd like to go before merging the
two, though my project is now hosted at code.google. com and the
source is BSD-licensed, so anyone is free to crib it for their own
projects. I have some features in mind and some bugs people have
logged, and (mostly as a personal exercise) I'd like to continue with
those. I think the two projects can benefit from each others'
presence, and ultimately, I suspect merging the makes sense.
Frankly, however, developing this is kind of fun, and I'm not quite
ready to give up on it. :) But we'll keep talking and when they both
reach as stable feature set, then we can look at benefits/costs of
each approach and what it would take to merge them.

Christian.

If you want to, we can discuss the way we should merge the

done quite fast. We can host the project on SF.net and change the
project name (its unix name is simply mvnflex2plugin) . If it is ok
to you, let me know your SF.net user id ; I will give you admin

Hey Jeff,
This is really funny - we have developed quite similar plugins.

Ok. Actually, I were not able to find a way to specifiy the target

Ok. That's partly why I went with using the dependency plugin to
push .swfs into the temporary locations, then using the war's native
web resources facility to get them in.
Our plugin also use the SDK, that can be set with a FLEX_HOME
environment variable or a flexSdkHome configuration property.
Concerning compilation, we do not use the SWCs included inside the
SDK, this we can manage the way they are compiled into the target
artifact bytecode. The users have to install the swc files onto
their repositories, that's annoying but MPL should quicly fix this
problem. The swc-mojo handles all dependencies as external library
paths, the swf-mojo only includes the dependencies with scope
compile (provided, like playerglobal or test like flexunit are
ignored). Resources bundles are also considered as dependencies.
Right. That makes sense. The maven-flex2- plugin includes an option
to ignore the flex-sdk lib contents and use deployed artifacts,
precisely because of what you are saying. But we were having some
problems with my client deploying things into their internal maven
repo, so this avoided that problem practically, while allowing for a
more mature use as you have implemented.
Anyway, we should collaborate to merge the two, I think, and make
sure we're including the best of all possible requirements, but you
seem to have done a great job so far. There might even be no added
value in mine, except insofar as I have already arranged for
replication to the repo1.maven. org, but that's organizational. We'll
figure it out.

[flexcoders] REPOST: Problem switching to Flex Builder Plugin from standalone
(sorry if this shows up twice, I first sent it yesterday morning and
it still hasn't shown up on this stupid list, I freakin HATE yahoo
groups)
I've been using a slightly modified version of this (as we discussed
on the flexcoders list) for a while now:
http://url.rickroot.com/u/18
I'm switching from the standalone flex builder to the flex builder
plugin, and I can't get the app I use this in to compile anymore
because of a strange error in this component:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property CHANGE through a reference
with static type
Class. EntityLookup/adsCheckBoxListItemRenderer.as
/EntityLookup/ads/CheckBoxListItemRenderer.as
Now, the line at which this error is occuring is in this method:
override public function set listData(value:BaseListData):void {
super.listData = value;
this.selected = (listData.owner as
ListBase).isItemSelected(listData.uid);
//all we need to do is add an event listener to get notified whenever
//there a change event dispatched by the main list control
(value.owner as ListBase).addEventListener(ListEvent.CHANGE,
listEventHandler);
}
I don't understand why it worked just fine before (when I was using
FlexBuilder standaloen version) and it does not work in the plugin
version
Got any ideas?

Re: [flexcoders] Creating Multiple objects and giving them each a unique name
So, are you saying that if you comment out the addEventListener lines you
only end up with one sprite displayed instead of multiple sprites displayed?
That can't be right... what does the code in the event listeners do?
Are you needing a unique ID that ties back to your XML? If so, you first
need a way to uniquely look up the XML elements (by index is fine if the
collection doesn't change, otherwise you'll want to assign an ID attribute
to each element). Then you can use the unique XML element ID's as the name
property for your sprite. You can then use the sprite's parent's
getChildByName method to grab the specific sprite.
A more general way to do it: use a dictionary to associate any object with
any other object. In that case, you can use the XML element as the key in
the dictionary with the sprite as the value (and you can do a reverse
lookup in the same way). In fact, I believe the Dictionary example in the
Flex 2 docs does something very similar.

now the above code without the event listeners displays the proper

I want to know how I can loop through my xml and produce a uniquely

reference it anywhere in my program.

I largely prefer many of Visual Studio's (particularly 2005) features to FlexBuilder, though do like some of FlexBuilder/Eclipse's features as well. Of course, the features I like most about Visual Studio don't seem to be intrinsic to the way it does things, more just that they don't exist in Flex Builder. For example, Visual Studio does some incredible Intellisense for C#... it basically suggests appropriate text (keywords, variable names, types, functions, etc.) with every keystroke. For folks with a lame memory like myself, it's great... it's also very conducive to using long, descriptive names for things since you don't end up having to type it all out constantly. It's also *very* smart about automatic formating of the code, and you can define all the rules that it applies as you type. In addition, there are some tools built into VS that need to be added to Flex (and sound like they may be to a degree with the data wizards in Flex 3), stuff like automatically generating classes from XML schemas, providing visual designers for schemas, etc. Troy.

RE: [flexcoders] Show incremental numeric index in a List
I have not seen any way to do this except by adding the index to the dataProvider. You would just need to rebuild the index after the drop action, or after a sort. Now, an idea. Perhaps, if your item renderer extends IdropInItemRenderer and so has access to the listData, and the dataProvider is a collection, you could use listData.getChildIndex(data) to get the index? Just brainstorming here, you'll need to try it.

[flexcoders] Re: Help Request : Deferred Instantiation and Bound SWFLoader
By the way, I can fix the problem by setting
creationPolicy=queued on the TabNavigator, or by setting it
to none and then manually calling createComponentsFromDescriptors
after the array is populated. But that band-aid short-circuits
deffered instantiation, which I don't want to do.
Also interesting is that creationPolicy=all does not fix the
problem. This is why I was thinking it had something to do with the
timing of defferred instantiation vs. the bindings or something. It
almost acts like createComponentsFromDescriptors() is getting called
before the array is populated in the init() method, and then future
calls to createComponentsFromDescriptors() don't fire or something.

The following mxml demonstrates the problem. I'm binding the

first
pane, even when clicking on the second or third pane.

Re: [flexcoders] A Question of AS3 Object Equality and Collections
I expect that arrays use strict equality, hence the results you're seeing. In fact, I would assume all collections to use strict equality. I think the only reason that there's a distinction in Object and Dictionary is because Object *always* uses strings as keys, and thus calls toString() on non-String objects, and thus gets a quasi equality going on... hence the need for Dictionary which basically just never calls toString(), resulting in the revelation that its strict equality only. Am I making any sense? So, to answer your question, I'd guess a custom collection class would be the appropriate fix. I've run into it several times (like an ordered collection with sparse unique ID's) where you basically have to wrap an Array with all the appropriate access API. Troy.

AS3 believes qname1 qname2 are equal, and qname2 and qname3 are not. Excellent. Good start. However: var a: Array = new Array(); a.push(qname1); trace(a.indexOf(qname2) -1); Ooops. They are not quite the same after all. So, with this behaviour different part of my framework cannot create a QName and put in an Array for other classes to get out with their own QName objects - even though AS3 says they are equal. Perhaps I could use a Dictionary. However it is based on '===' strict equality and doesn't fit the bill because of that. In fact, try adding a QName as a key to a Dictionary like: var nameSpace: Namespace = new Namespace(http://foo;); var qname: QName = new QName(nameSpace,bar); var d:Dictionary = new Dictionary(); d[qname] = why does this blow up?; gives an explosion: ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property http://foo::bar on flash.utils.Dictionary. you simpy cannot use a Dictionary object for QNames.

In addition, there are some tools built into VS that need to be added to Flex (and sound like they may be to a degree with the data wizards in Flex 3), stuff like automatically generating classes from XML schemas, providing visual designers for schemas, etc. I'm working on a Class generator from XML Schemas right now. I have a fairly good start, still working out some bugs. I expect to have a beta release available in the next few weeks. It's built right now as an ANT task. Paul
[flexcoders] Number column in DataGrid
I'm stuck and making a dunce appeal - this can't be as difficult as I'm making it: I have a Data Grid and a Form. When an item is selected on the Data Grid, it displays the selected item on the Form for editing. I'm using mx:Binding so changes on the form are reflected in the grid. With straight text values, life is good - it works fine. One column in the grid is a Number (actually currency) and when I try to include that I get a type coercion error. (I'm saving this back to a database via Hibernate where the column is a number). I tried to use Number(txtInput.text) in the mx:Binding destination tag and it works, but I lose precision on the Number - it won't save decimals. It acts weird - when I type a decimal, it takes it, then backs it out if I type more numbers. I'm stuck on this conversion of the TextInput to a Number. Do you have to convert the TextInput to a Number via a function? Can someone clue me in? Thanks -joe

[flexcoders] Getting styleNames at runtime?? ( CSSStyleDeclaration::getExplicitStyleNames() )
Hi All,
I need to be able to duplicate style declarations at runtime... and I
hit a wall:
Is there any way to do the following??
for each ( var styleName:String in myStyleDec.getExplicitStyleNames() )
{
trace( styleName + = + myStyleDec.getStyle( styleName ) );
}
See, I'm really missing something in the lines of
CSSStyleDeclaration::getExplicitStyleNames():Array
I can see some private or protected members of the class that may hold
that info, but no public way to access it.
Any ideas?
Is this by design? ( I might be missing the bigger picture here...
after all this things are called cascading for some reason )
Thanks!!

[flexcoders] Force Tree to redraw using custom itemEditors
I am using a custom item renderer that basically allows the user to change
the label of any leaf nodes inside of that tree. The leaf nodes are physical
files inside folders and on itemEditEnd it updates the filename, however
what isn't getting updated is after they've typed there new filename the
tree isn't redrawing itself to show the new label until you close the parent
folder and open it again. Does anybody happen to know on how you can make it
so the tree recognizes the change in it's data and redraw itself? Here is
the function I'm using of where I need the tree to re-draw. And help would
be much appreciated.
// Define the event listener for the itemEditEnd event to copy the
// updated data back to the data provider of the Tree control.
public function processData(event:ListEvent):void {
// Disable copying data back to the control.
event.preventDefault();
// Set variables to pass to cfc
var fileSrc:String = docTree.editedItemRenderer.data.label;
var fileLocation:Object = docTree.getParentItem(docTree.selectedItem
);
docTree.editedItemRenderer.data.label = TreeEditor(
event.currentTarget.itemEditorInstance).fileName.text;
var newFileSrc:String = docTree.editedItemRenderer.data.label;
// Close the item editor.
docTree.destroyItemEditor();
// Notify the list control to update its display.
docTree.dataProvider.notifyItemUpdate(docTree.editedItemRenderer);

[flexcoders] Flex 3 apache module on OSX?
Anyone successfully get this working? I ran into some hurdles during the install and am not quite sure I've got everything setup correctly. The hurdle was that the installer wanted the path to the apache config directory, which when using the built-in webserver is hidden in /etc/httpd. My solution was to copy this directory to a visible directory on my desktop and point the installer there. Then it asked for the webserver root directory which it picked out on it's own /Library/WebServer/Documents. This is where it put the samples directory. After the install, I copied the files from my mock httpd directory into the real directory and restarted the server. Nothing. I then went into /Applications and noticed that instead of creating it's own folder, it just dumped it's files all over the applications directory. I then put these into their own folder called Flex3Apache and updated compiler.conf and httpd.conf to reflect that. Restarted the server again but still no luck. When I browse to an mxml file, it just shows me a blank page (very snappily I might add, like it's not hitting the compiler at all). Anyone?

By the way, I can fix the problem by setting
creationPolicy=queued on the TabNavigator, or by setting it
to none and then manually calling createComponentsFromDescriptors
after the array is populated. But that band-aid short-circuits
deffered instantiation, which I don't want to do.
Also interesting is that creationPolicy=all does not fix the
problem. This is why I was thinking it had something to do with the
timing of defferred instantiation vs. the bindings or something. It
almost acts like createComponentsFromDescriptors() is getting called
before the array is populated in the init() method, and then future
calls to createComponentsFromDescriptors() don't fire or something.

in function onLoad(),.. but it returns value in here:
mx:TextInput id=txt2 text={myRo.getGetMyObj.lastResult.otherProp}/
But when I'm sending the object back to the server everything is fine.
This works fine, I'm getting right values in server from Java Object:
myRo.setGetMyObj(mm);
But the same Java Object cannot be cast to the MyTestObject.as
In other words: I'm able to submit from my MyTestObject.as to
MyTestObject.java, but not vice verse. But i'm getting result from
MyTestObject.java though, but only here: mx:TextInput id=txt2
text={myRo.getGetMyObj.lastResult.otherProp}/, this doesn't work (returns
null always): mm1=MyTestObject(myRo.getGetMyObj.lastResult);
Does somebody know why? Maybe it shouldn't work at all this way?

I understand the business case for the components working that way (they always have) to deal with a ton of data.

Re: [flexcoders] The future of Flex IDE's
Eclipse/FB does plenty of auto-finishing of variables/classes/constants for me. Where do you see it as falling short? Have you used VS2005?

Sure, I can hit CTRL+SPACE and get one, but in VS2005 it's smart enough to do the autocomplete automatically. The real time save is when filling in function paramters... when I open a paren for a function call's argument list, VS2005 will prompt me with all of the valid (by scope) identifiers that match the right type (or super type). In FB, I've got to hit CTRL+SPACE and then it's just all the identifiers in scope, not a list filtered by what would actually compile in that slot. VS2005 also offers tooltips when going throught he autocomplete list based on the doc-comments for each item. Features like this make code documentation seamlessly beneficial and add tangible, immediate benefit to my coding. You can almost *explore* the code as you write it as opposed to jumping back and forth to an API reference. Hell, I've got a pretty powerful machine sitting their idle while I click away in a text editor... I appreciate the IDE using some of those spare cycles to help my feeble human brain (that's what computers are for!). VS2005 also does syntactic error checking as you type, as opposed to just build automatically when saving. I can always tell in FB when I have a type somewhere become autocomplete all of the sudden stops working... so, obviously FB has some idea that I've mad a typo, it'd just be nice if it let me know (VS2005 uses the common spelling error red-dotted underline and grammatical error blue-dotted underline for unknown identifiers and syntactic errors, respectively).

[flexcoders] Re: Help Request : Deferred Instantiation and Bound SWFLoader
Yes, these are still not showing up long after the time it would take
to get them from the server. I understand the asynchronous bit.
Also, running the swf in debug mode shows that downloadedBytes ==
totalBytes, so I'm sure it's done loading. Plus, like I said,
setting creationPolicy=queued makes them show up (but not
creationPolicy=all). I'm pretty sure it's some kind of timing
issue, like something to do with calling
createComponentsFromDescriptors() before the databinding classes have
updated the underlying dataprovider.
But I might be talking out of my butt. There's a lot of magic
going on here under the hood that I don't understand.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 3 fractional scroll on List?
Don't let Adobe off too easy on the efficiency excuse... they could have just as easily had smooth scrolling while still re-using item renderers, etc. For fixed-size item renderers it only requires one additional item renderer to be instantiated, and just a bit more code in the scroll bar handling. I think it's a bad oversight, or a bad business decision, because it makes an otherwise slick UI look archaic... come on, the AJAX guys have even go this stuff working (as does .NET!), so there's really no excuse (well, there are plenty of excuses, just no good *reasons*). It irks me to no end that one of the few complex components I'm using from the Flex framework in my current project is the HorizontalList (for thumbnails) and I'm stuck with the option of having to subclass (and who knows if the right vars are protected!) the control for just a fundamentally basic piece of flash. But hey, they got so many other things alright by me that it's not exactly bringing down their average... it just sticks out like a sore thumb! ;-) Troy.

[flexcoders] Batching PNGs into an SWF
My app is currently loading around a 100-150 PNGs (around 64x64 to 128x128 in size each) from my server. It's obviously taking way longer than it should, not because of the total size of the transfer but rather the overhead of the multiple connections, i.e. 100-150 separate connections to the server, which may or may not utilize keepAlive (depending on browser), which will be pipelined only two-wide (which will probably be a *good* thing once we have thousands of concurrent users!). Of course, it's utterly unnecessary because every time the app launches it has to pull the same 100-150 PNGs. Yeah, I could embed the PNGs and eat the load time in the app load time, but then I'd require a recompile of the app when the PNGs are updated (not desirable). So, I'm hoping there's a simple solution that looks like this: - a command-line tool that takes a directory full of PNGs and compiles them into an SWF full of BitmapData's. - some AS3 code that loads that SWF and can extract the PNGs by their original filename (or some other obvious key). Anyone able to point me in the right direction on this? I've seen some tools that'll turn an animated GIF into an SWF (close, but not quite), and I know SWF's can be loaded as Modules (which I assume would give me an SWF full of BitmapData objects, or at least embedded asset classes or whatever the correct term is). Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Troy.

Yes, these are still not showing up long after the time it would take
to get them from the server. I understand the asynchronous bit.
Also, running the swf in debug mode shows that downloadedBytes ==
totalBytes, so I'm sure it's done loading. Plus, like I said,
setting creationPolicy=queued makes them show up (but not
creationPolicy=all). I'm pretty sure it's some kind of timing
issue, like something to do with calling
createComponentsFromDescriptors() before the databinding classes have
updated the underlying dataprovider.
But I might be talking out of my butt. There's a lot of magic
going on here under the hood that I don't understand.

By the way, I can fix the problem by setting
creationPolicy=queued on the TabNavigator, or by setting it
to none and then manually calling createComponentsFromDescriptors
after the array is populated. But that band-aid short-circuits
deffered instantiation, which I don't want to do.
Also interesting is that creationPolicy=all does not fix the
problem. This is why I was thinking it had something to do with the
timing of defferred instantiation vs. the bindings or something. It
almost acts like createComponentsFromDescriptors() is getting
called
before the array is populated in the init() method, and then future
calls to createComponentsFromDescriptors() don't fire or something.

That can't be right... what does the code in the event listeners do?
Are you needing a unique ID that ties back to your XML? If so, you first
need a way to uniquely look up the XML elements (by index is fine if the
collection doesn't change, otherwise you'll want to assign an ID
attribute
to each element). Then you can use the unique XML element ID's as
the name
property for your sprite. You can then use the sprite's parent's
getChildByName method to grab the specific sprite.
A more general way to do it: use a dictionary to associate any
object with
any other object. In that case, you can use the XML element as the
key in
the dictionary with the sprite as the value (and you can do a reverse
lookup in the same way). In fact, I believe the Dictionary example
in the
Flex 2 docs does something very similar.

Hello all! I have a DataGrid that I have associated (dataProvider) to a blank array that has been initialized as a collection of 5 objects with each object having 3 member variables. I have made my DataGrid editable and now have the ability to enter data into the 5 rows. I would now like to simply read this data back into my array for processing after the user has finished filling in the data. For some reason I am having a major block on how to accomplish this. I would love to just say something like: myData = myDataGrid.data trace(myData[0].col1Name) //traces the first row, first column data. but that does not seem to be working for me. Any clues? I have a feeling I am missing something trivial here. :) Thanks. Nick

Re: [flexcoders] Flex3 :: ModuleManager :: not dispatching READY
Thanks you Alex.
Now I really understand what is going on.
I actually ran into this problem when I was using a ModuleOperation class
that is in a service design pattern.
The operation calls getModule(), and I actually did what you mentioned in
that class. I took it from local to a public var.
But in the operation class, I still have it in an event.target reference
that comes back to the controller but, the operation instance is not
handling the READY. The operation class goes out of scope once the execute()
method finishes with a call to module.load().
Any suggestions?

}
When I test the project, I get...
[SWF] modules/HelloWorldModule.swf - 504,327 bytes after decompression
I cannot for the life of me get READY to be dispatched.
PROGRESS works fine, and it shows the whole swf being loaded.
It has been a few since I used module manager, is there anything I am
missing?
Peace, Mike

Re: [flexcoders] Flex3 :: ModuleManager :: not dispatching READY
Ok,
Now debuggin I just had one of those dev flashes.
The problem is, the operation reference was not fixed a reference. So it was
the actually operation that was going out of scope.
So the fix for now was;
public function loadModule(url:String, parent:Container,
domain:ApplicationDomain):void
{
trace(CoreShellController.loadModule())
currentOperation = modulesService.loadModule(url, parent, domain);
performModuleOperation(currentOperation);
}
In the controller, I just saved the instance of the operation while it was
executing.
Before I had;
public function loadModule(url:String, parent:Container,
domain:ApplicationDomain):void
{
trace(CoreShellController.loadModule())
performModuleOperation(
modulesService.loadModule(url, parent, domain));
}
Problem solved for now, thanks again Alex.
Peace, Mike

Thanks you Alex.
Now I really understand what is going on.
I actually ran into this problem when I was using a ModuleOperation class
that is in a service design pattern.
The operation calls getModule(), and I actually did what you mentioned in
that class. I took it from local to a public var.
But in the operation class, I still have it in an event.target reference
that comes back to the controller but, the operation instance is not
handling the READY. The operation class goes out of scope once the execute()
method finishes with a call to module.load().
Any suggestions?
Peace, Mike

We fixed a bug in HotFix2 and Moxie where modules didn't unload.
Now, if you don't keep a handle to the module it won't load because as soon
as it finished, GC runs and if there is no handle to it, it goes away.
Var module:IModuleInfo was your only handle but it is local so as soon
as it goes out of scope it can go away.
Move it to an instance variable and you'll be fine.

Hi,
I have this simple setup;
A module in ;
/modules/HelloWorldModule.swf
in creation complete in the main application;
private function creatModule():void
{
var module:IModuleInfo = ModuleManager.getModule
(modules/HelloWorldModule.swf);
module.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.READY, readyHandler)
module.load();
}
private function readyHandler(event:ModuleEvent):void
{
trace(READY)
}
When I test the project, I get...
[SWF] modules/HelloWorldModule.swf - 504,327 bytes after decompression
I cannot for the life of me get READY to be dispatched.
PROGRESS works fine, and it shows the whole swf being loaded.
