Re: [flexcoders] nulling primitive data types
These are the simple types and their default values: uint - 0 int - 0 Number - NaN String - null Boolean - false I still do not get your problem. In your database a representation of a boolean would be a bit type. Which means that it's either true or false. You could look at your problem in antother way. A boolean should have two values, that's what the term suggests. Your database however adds another value: NULL. This is kinda strange. You could set the field in your database to NOT NULLABLE and declare a default value. The field in the database should represent something that is either true or false. I hope this last bit makes any sense, quite hard to tell in a language which is not your own. Greetz Erik
Re: [flexcoders] nulling primitive data types
If you want to set values to NULL in your database you could make a simple method on the server side with a signature like this: setValueToNull(table, column, primaryKeyColumn, primaryKeyValue) You could get the primaryKeyColumn from the database metadata.

extract the data you need from your dataProvider and then validate

dg.itemEditorInstance and doing e.preventDefault() if the field is

[flexcoders] Redirect to login page: from flex to jsp in struts
Hii Can someone tell me how do i unload flex and load/redirect to login page, once the session is over. Currently, when the session is over. Obviously I cannot access any data from the server side. But my flex GUI will still remain there and it doesn't unload from the screen. Can anyone guide me in the right direction. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Redirect-to-login-page%3A-from-flex-to-jsp-in-struts-tf4480003.html#a12774460 Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
[flexcoders] Load all classes implementing an interface
Hi,
I have created an swc library with an interface and some classes
implementing this interface. I get objects from the server of the same
type and interface, and everything works fine if I do like this:
private function serverResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void{
var obj:Object = event.result;
//All classes implementing IMyInterface
//They are all in an swc library
//Hell breaks loose if I leave out these four lines
var s1:MyFirstClass;
var s2:MySecondClass;
var s3:MyThirdClass;
var s4:MyFourthClass;
if(obj is IMyInterface){
var short:IMyInterface= obj as IMyInterface;
//process it...
}
}
if I leave out the 4 lines initing my classes, the event.result will
be of the type ObjectProxy.
However, all classes are compiled in my swf since they are in the swc
library.
Is there a way to load all classes implementing an interface dynamically?
Regards,
Leen Toelen

[flexcoders] compile all classes on the command line
Hi, is there a command line parameter to compc that makes it compile all classes in a folder and all of its subfolder? Right now I create all my as classes, and I have to use the flex builder interface to select which classes need to be compiled in my library. It would be far easier to automate this using compc using the command line. I only found the method of specifying all classes on the command line. Regards, Leen Toelen

RE: [flexcoders] DelegateFactory
Hi Sammi, Normal you don't need that sort of logic, but in this case it seems like you do. So your logic below seems correct, I guess you will have a global property that will define which service to use and then each delegate will take care of doing the apppropriate calls. So you can move along with your idea, it should work out just fine. Dimitrios Gianninas Development Team Lead Optimal Payments Inc.

All the webservices supply the same functionality - just in a slightly different way. My idea is this. Use the FactoryPattern for the Delegates. So when a Command needs a delegate it calls the Factory and the factory supplies the command with a delegate. So the command needs a LoginDelegate. It gets a LoginDelegateForWebServiceA(), because the user has previously configured the app to use web service A. I am just so new to actually applying design patterns.

[flexcoders] Code behind - class extend mxml vs. mxml extend class
Hi, I just wanted to use code behind in a flex application, but wasn´t sure which way to go. In all Examples/Mailinglists,... following method was used. MyClassCodeBehind extends e.g. Canvas in the MyClass.mxml the root node is type of MyClassCodeBehind. The mxml class extends more or less the class MyClassCodeBehind. In this case the class MyClassCodeBehind of course has no access to the components in the mxml file. So all components have to be declared in the class MyClassCodeBehind as public properties. From the mxml file I can access Methods of class MyClassCodeBehind. If I make it the other way round, I can extend MyClass.mxml in class MyClassCodeBehind and don´t have to declare all components as properties because they are already derived from the parent MyClass.mxml. Drawback of this method is that if I want to call a method in the MyClass.mxml I have to implement a stub in MyClass.mxml and overwrite it in MyClassCodeBehind. But I don´t want to make function calls in mxml anyway. I want to have the code in the code behind. Have I missed something specific, why everyone is using the first method and not the other option? cheers, Christoph

I'm doing something like that right now for the individual cells.
I've integrated a validator into the cell object. However, I need to
be able to validate the complete datagrid when the save button is

itemEditEnd to validate, I need to move through the data and check.
Using the itemEditor.newInstance() and calling my validation routine,
I can detect that a validation fails. Now I'm going to try to use the

RE: [flexcoders] nulling primitive data types
The default value and NULL are very different things. NULL means the data point is not known or not set yet. If you just use the default values then there is no way to differentiate between a 0 value that is there because it happens to be the default or a 0 value that is correctly zero based on user input or application rules. And setting things to not nullable in the database only works if your data truly is not nullable. You're suggesting the user change his application data rules because the language doesn't support nullable booleans. Shouldn't the application rules dictate what the application does and not the language the application happens to be programmed in? :-) Sam --- We're Hiring!

In your database a representation of a boolean would be a bit type. Which means that it's either true or false. You could look at your problem in antother way.

[flexcoders] Re: Can't style a cursor with CSS, can you?
In order to allow cursor styles to be set on a per instance basis,
this is the approach I am considering. Feedback is greatly appreciated.
- Give my class a property called cursorStyleName.
- Set a default cursorStyleName in constructor
- In setCursor() method, I use the following code:
var cursorStyle:CSSStyleDeclaration =
StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration(. + cursorStyleName);
cursorClass = cursorStyle.getStyle(resizeCursorVSkin);
CursorManager.setCursor(cursorClass, )
Thoughts? Is this appropriate?

Embed creates a class. You could also use setStyle(moveCursorSkin,

bottom line is my manager calls basically,
var cls:Class = styleName.getStyle(cursorSkinName + Skin);

CursorManager.setCursor(cls, 0, offsetX, offsetY);

A typical view only has a few, maybe a dozen, controls - if not, you should refactor *anyway* even if you're not doing code behind. Everything has a cost. You have to ask is it worth it. I happen to think for all but trivial views it is. The point I´m not sure about is class extends mxml vs. mxml extends class. Shall the MXML extend the CodeBehind class as suggested in the examples, or the CodeBehind class extend the MXML. If you do something other people don't (like this backwards-code-behind) you make it harder for other people to work with you.

RE: [flexcoders] httpservice and crud
One HTTPService instance will work fine.
Instantiate it with AS, or declare it in mxml as you choose.
Then, in the function where you are going to invoke the send(), you can any
properties you wish. The main property you will probably set is the url.
Instead of declaring the request object in mxml as you show, build it in AS
just before you invoke send()
You can also set a property on the AsyncToken, which you can then access in the
result handler function, in order to identify the result to perform the desired
processing.
Below are some snippets.
Tracy
Sample code using HTTPService, e4x, handler function to populate a list item.
Also shows usage of AsyncToken.
The DataGrid tag:
mx:DataGrid id=dg dataProvider={_xlcMyListData} .../
The HTTPService tag:
mx:HTTPService id=service resultFormat=e4x result=onResult(event)
fault=/
Script block declaration:
import mx.rpc.Events.ResultEvent;
[Bindable]private var _xlcMyListData:XMLListCollection;
Invoke send:
var oRequest:Object = new Object();
oRequest.calDate = fmtDate.format(dateChoose.selectedDate);
oRequest._update = true;
var callToken:AsyncToken = service.send(oRequest);
token.callId = myQuery1;
Result Handler function:
private function onResult(oEvent:ResultEvent):void {
var xmlResult:XML = XML(event.result);//converts result
Object to XML. can also use as operator
var xlMyListData:XMLList = xmlResult.myListData; //depends on xml
format, is row data
_xlcMyListData = new XMLListCollection(xlMyListData); //wrap the XMLList in a
collection
trace(_xlcMyListData.toXMLString()); //so you can see
exactly how to specify dataField or build labelFunction
var callToken:AsyncToken = oEvent.token;
var sCallId = callToken.callId; //myQuery1
switch(sCallId) {
case myQuery1:
doWhatever(); //massage data, call
another query, whatever

Subject: [flexcoders] httpservice and crud
noob question alert.
Just starting on flex. I'm doing a simple CRUD page working with a calendar. Do
I need
to do seperate HTTPService components for the different CRUD operations or is
it possible
to dynamically pass in requests to one service since I'm doing all of the
operations on the
same backend php page.
i.e. do you need to seperate:
mx:HTTPService id=getEvent url=_calendar.php resultFormat=text
method=GET
mx:request
calDate{fmtDate.format(dateChoose.selectedDate)}/calDate
/mx:request
/mx:HTTPService
mx:HTTPService id=updateEvent url=_calendar.php method=GET
result=getEvent.send()
mx:request
calDate{fmtDate.format(dateChoose.selectedDate)}/calDate
_updatetrue/_update
/mx:request
/mx:HTTPService
or can I dynamically pass in the in update=true and just use one service for
both Get and
Update.
Thanks.

Replace the hard coded string with the variable.

[flexcoders] How would you go about to make SuperImage support .swf?
SuperImage:
http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/2007/01/23/some-thoughts-on-doubt-on-flex-as-the-best-option-orhow-i-made-my-flex-images-stop-dancing/
I need it to support .swf's - but I don't worry about the cache part - as
long as it shows the swf.
I guess it would have to be done in the commitProperties() function -
somewhere here:
if(newSource is Class)
{
// if it's a class, instantiate it.
newSource = new newSource();
}
// if it's bitmap or bitmap data, we know how to render that.
if(newSource is Bitmap)
{
_content = newSource;
}
}
.. an embedded swf would be a class. Is there a way to convert this to
Bitmap so that SuperImage behaves as normal?

Re: [flexcoders] Code behind - class extend mxml vs. mxml extend class
Hi Christoph,
I think one of the things you should look into doing, is try to avoid
directly referencing the items that are in your view in your code behind
class. By doing so this will allow you rebuild your view without changing
much to your base class. For example, say you have an application that has
a number of buttons that trigger some action. In your BaseClass.as you
could have a number of consts:
[Bindable] protected static const LABEL_SUBMIT:String = Submit;
[Bindable] protected static const LABEL_RESET:String = Reset;
Then a simple function to handle the processing of buttons:
protected function handleButtonClick(event:MouseEvent) {
var b:Button = event.targat as Button;
var label:String = b.label;
if(label == LABEL_SUBMIT) {
doSubmit();
}
else if(label == LABEL_RESET) {
doReset();
else {
throw(new Error(Invalid Label));
}
}
Then in your mxml view you can just bind to the consts and make a call to
the generic function:
mx:Button label={LABEL_SUBMIT} click=handleButtonClick(event) /
mx:Button label={LABEL_RESET} click=handleButtonClick(event) /
This is an overly simplistic example, but it does demonstrate my point. As
Tom also pointed out, by separating out the view and the code, it looks much
cleaner and in turn is more maintainable. You'll also have code that is
more unit testable if you can just load in a class and not have to worry
about referencing an initialized view.

[flexcoders] Actionscript sprite within the Flex framework
I'm trying to do a primarily Actionscript 3 written Flex app writing
within the Flex framework.
Following Moock's Actionscript 3.0: The Essential Guide examples, I have

attempts to draw a circle on the stage. See code and errors below:

}
}
}
Before compiling, I get this error:
1084: class 'TestSprite' will be scoped to the default namespace:

After compiling, the debugger gives this error:

[flexcoders] Re: Code behind - class extend mxml vs. mxml extend class
As far as I know, Flex gods from Scotland do not advise the use of code behind approach as seen in .net. I was doing the same at the beginning but after having a chat with them I see why it's not good. First of all there is no code generator that would create references to all mxml elements in the accompanying AS class. Second and more important, you can't use data binding that way which is one of the most powerful features of Flex. And there is also third, which is Cairngorm. Cairngorm is ment to use mxmls as classes, so you treat them as a class. There's more to Cairngorm than this of course but if you'd like to implement it don't use code behind approach.

Re: [flexcoders] Anybody Out there Please! Re: Flex Builder/Webapp/Flex
Leif Do you use enterely ant for compile your flex apps ?, why did you decide not to use flexBuilder instead (i mean i like the idea for use ant but i dont know how to convince my architect to use it instead of the flex builder)? Leif Wells [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: Matt, At my workplace, we normally have a team working on the front-end and another working on the Java back-end. Although we share the same Subversion repository, we place our code in separate folders. The front-end team uses the root of the flex folder as the base of our Flex Builder project. For compiling, assembling and deploying we use Ant. Seriously, Ant is awesome. Check out the Flex Ant Tasks found on Adobe Labs (http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Ant_Tasks ) for some examples of the tasks. To generally describe this to you, we have two build.xml files, one in the Java folder and one in the Flex folder. The Java file will call to the Flex build file, compile the Flex files and assemble them, then compile the Java, move the Flex files into the Java deploy folder and then create the War file. When I come in to the office in the morning, I update my Subversion repository, run the build process, start Tomcat and load up Flex Builder. I can't share the Ant files with you today, but they honestly are fairly easy to put together. That is one of the great things about Ant --- it's fairly easy to use. I hope this helps you.

Re: [flexcoders] Actionscript sprite within the Flex framework
The first error says you need the TestSprite class to be defined like:
public class TestSprite extends Sprite
The second error I initially thought was because the application
addChild takes a UICompoent, but according to the help docs what you
have 'should' work. I would try casting it as a DisplayObject although
this probably isn't the correct way to fix it.
mxmlApp.addChild(testSprite as DisplayObject);

[flexcoders] How do i aggregate data into charts
I am have data that does not have a uniqui field and therefore I need
to aggregate the values.
eg.
{Month: Feb, Profit: 1200, Expenses: 400, Amount: 57}
{Month: Mar, Profit: 1000, Expenses: 200, Amount: 32}
{Month: Apr, Profit: 2000, Expenses: 600, Amount: 20}
{Month: Apr, Profit: 200, Expenses: 100, Amount: 80}
I want to agregate the 'Apr' data to show aggregated data in the chart.
Adding both Aprils will get me the following:
{Month: Apr, Profit: 2200, Expenses: 700, Amount: 100}
Is there an automatic way to tell Flex to aggregate the data?
Thanks

the data returned was in form of a ArrayCollection.
However when I try to use the following function, it gives me an
error.
public function initApp():void
{
// Set filter function // Be careful to set
filterFunction // only after ArrayCollection has been //
populated.
// sanData.filterFunction=processFilter;
}
public function processFilter(item:Object):Boolean
{
var result:Boolean=false;
// If no filter text, or a match, then true
if (!item.name.length
|| item.Expr2.toUpperCase().indexOf
(txtFilter.text.toUpperCase()) = 0)
result=true;
return result;

Here is the HTTP call

[flexcoders] Components in a TileList?
Hi, I'm pretty sure this is possible - but I can't get it working so wondered if anyone had an example of how I could do this: I have a TileList and on this TileList I'd like to show a number of Flex Components (most likely based on Tile I guess?). I've tried defining the TileList with a dataprovider ArrayCollection then creating a component based on Tile, creating an actionscript instance of the Tile and then inserting it into the ArrayCollection. I suspect though, that TileList requires something a little more precise if it's going to be able to render the Tiles... I hope the above makes some kind of sense... Can anyone help? Thanks, Jamie.

[flexcoders] Layout question
I have a component that I need to center within a control bar attached to a panel. But the control bar also has a couple of link buttons over on the left. In the rest of the app, I have not yet had a need for absolute layout or constraints. For this scenario, the following seems to work: - a Canvas in the control bar, - set horizontalCenter=0 on the component that needs centering. - put the two link buttons in an HBox - set a minimum width on the panel, so the centered component and link buttons can't overlap. Does this seem like a good approach? As an aside, I'd love to have a setting so that components with text labels (like titles in panels, or link buttons) could shrink to small widths, and display a partial title with ellipses. Then the minimum width in the above example could be lower. Thanks in advance.

RE: [flexcoders] How would you go about to make SuperImage support .swf?
Down at the bottom of the commitProperties() routine, add an extra else clause

Else if (newSource is DisplayObject)

That should in theory take care of it.

I need it to support .swf's - but I don't worry about the cache part - as long
as it shows the swf.
I guess it would have to be done in the commitProperties() function - somewhere
here:
if(newSource is Class)
{
// if it's a class, instantiate it.
newSource = new newSource();
}
// if it's bitmap or bitmap data, we know how to render that.
if(newSource is Bitmap)
{
_content = newSource;
}
}
.. an embedded swf would be a class. Is there a way to convert this to Bitmap
so that SuperImage behaves as normal?

Hi, I'm pretty sure this is possible - but I can't get it working so wondered if anyone had an example of how I could do this: I have a TileList and on this TileList I'd like to show a number of Flex Components (most likely based on Tile I guess?). I've tried defining the TileList with a dataprovider ArrayCollection then creating a component based on Tile, creating an actionscript instance of the Tile and then inserting it into the ArrayCollection. I suspect though, that TileList requires something a little more precise if it's going to be able to render the Tiles... I hope the above makes some kind of sense... Can anyone help? Thanks, Jamie.
RE: [flexcoders] Actionscript sprite within the Flex framework
Even though the API says addChild takes DisplayObject, we can't override
function signatures. The rules in Flex are:
Navigator can only take Containers
Containers can only take IUIComponents
UIComponents can take anything.
So put in a UIComponent tag and put the test sprite in there.

The first error says you need the TestSprite class to be defined like:
public class TestSprite extends Sprite
The second error I initially thought was because the application
addChild takes a UICompoent, but according to the help docs what you
have 'should' work. I would try casting it as a DisplayObject although
this probably isn't the correct way to fix it.
mxmlApp.addChild(testSprite as DisplayObject);

[flexcoders] RSLs
I switched my main Flex Project to load two Flex Library Projects as RSLs instead of as Merged Code to see if I can improve the efficiency of my project. Now I see this in the Console: [SWF] /website/bin/ExtendedLib.swf - 1,752,574 bytes after decompression [SWF] /website/bin/MainLib.swf - 2,345,628 bytes after decompression [Unload SWF] /website/bin/ExtendedLib.swf [Unload SWF] /website/bin/MainLib.swf And I'm noticing a long time to load modules loaded at runtime and I think it is due to the time it takes to load SWF/unload SWF. I thought that RSL's are loaded only once. I assume they are not being retrieved multiple times from the server, but why are they being loaded and unloaded multiple times? Thanks, Ariel
RE: [flexcoders] Cannot use 'filterFunction' from an HTTPService request
The HTTPService returns a ResultEvent object to your
sanDataHandler(oEvent:ResultEvent) function. What is contained in
that object depends on the http service source, and the resultFormat
property of the HTTPService. The default is object, which attempts to
convert the result data inot a nested object structure.
If you hit the HTTPService url directly from a browser address line,
what do you see?

I want to setup a datagrid that can filter from a textfield. I have

filterFunction only works with ArrayCollection, but I thought that
the data returned was in form of a ArrayCollection.
However when I try to use the following function, it gives me an

I need it to support .swf's - but I don't worry about the cache part - as long
as it shows the swf.
I guess it would have to be done in the commitProperties() function - somewhere
here:
if(newSource is Class)
{
// if it's a class, instantiate it.
newSource = new newSource();
}
// if it's bitmap or bitmap data, we know how to render that.
if(newSource is Bitmap)
{
_content = newSource;
}
}
.. an embedded swf would be a class. Is there a way to convert this to Bitmap
so that SuperImage behaves as normal?

Re: [flexcoders] nulling primitive data types
Sam, I think that you're out of luck when it comes to Boolean. There is no undefined boolean value, and boolean can only ever be equal to true or false, nothing else. I'd second the recommendation in the case of number of using NaN to represent undefined values (and for that reason use Number in place of int/uint whenever I need undefined numeric values, though MIN_VALUE or MAX_VALUE sounds like equally good choices). I think the *correct* way of handling this will require a lot of model work, but it'll make it airtight in the end (and the API for the model will be clean even if the internals are dirty). What you're really talking about are two issues, one of serialization and one of Flex API. In regards to serialization, you'll more than likely be translating these values into strings to transmit to the server, in which case you simply just use a NULL string value (just like SQL) to indicate nulls and handle them appropriately on the server side. In regards to API of your Flex classes, this is the approach I've taken: in your model, create getters and setters for the various properties you want to be nullable. The getters and setters should return the correct static types. For each property you add an additional method named something like resetXXX or clearXXX that sets the property to the undefined value (since you can directly set the properties to undefined values). Internally to your model class, you store the private backing variables for the properties as plain old Objects, assigning them null is they're undefined. Your getters/setters will deal with all of the messy casting/boxing the types to and from the backing object. The one convention you need to establish is what happens when a client of the model attempt to get an undefined value. In most of my scenarios, an undefined value meant the value what either a default or an inherited value, so I always had a valid value to return even when the actual model instance's value was undefined (think prototypes). If getting an undefined value is a mistake, then you'll probably want to throw an exception *and* provide a method for the user to validate a property (isValidXXX, etc.) so that folks don't have to always try/catch around your exception for nulls. Yep, it does make the implementation of the model very messy (or busy, rather), but the API to the model remains clean and accurate to the application's design. Troy.

import flash.text.TextField;
import mx.controls.Alert;
public class AdvancedTextArea extends TextArea
{
public function AdvancedTextArea() {
super();
this.editable=false;
this.selectable=false;
this.verticalScrollPolicy=off;
this.horizontalScrollPolicy=off;
}
override protected function measure():void
{
super.measure();
var myTF:TextField=new TextField();
var altoxLineas:Number=new Number();
myTF.wordWrap=true;
myTF.text=text;
myTF.width=explicitWidth-10;
altoxLineas=myTF.numLines*3.9+altoxLineas/3.9;
measuredHeight = measuredMinHeight =
myTF.textHeight + 10;
if (altoxLineasmyTF.textHeight) measuredHeight
= measuredMinHeight = altoxLineas + 10;
}
}
}
Although it does grows my Textarea, in some cases it doesn't grow it
enough... Any pointers would be appreciated.

Before compiling, I get this error:
1084: class 'TestSprite' will be scoped to the default
namespace:
internal. It will not be visible outside of this package.
After compiling, the debugger gives this error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert

What's happening here? Is there a better way to set this up?
Thanks.

[flexcoders] Adding to an ArrayCollection
Is there a good way to add additional information into an array
collection variable?
If I start with this code to build an array collection with data
public var someArrayCol:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
for each (var item:XML in someData){
var xyz:CustComponent = new CustComponent();
xyz.text = item..name;
xyz.property1 = item..age;
someArrayCol.addItem(xyz);
}
Then at a later time when more data is obtained, how can I add
additional information to the ArrayCollection?
for example, lets say I get an address back for each of the people
orignially added, am I able to add this to the current array collection?
for each (xyz2:CustComponent in someArrayCol){
??? how to add in address like I did above, however, it is after I used
addItem
}
Thanks for the guidance

[flexcoders] Modal Window that doesn't disable the whole flash player
Hi, I want to know if it's possible to have a modal window that doesn't disable the whole of the flash player. For instance, I have an application which hosts another application (a widget). When the widget is waiting for it's data I use the PopUpManager to display a canvas (in order to blur the application and disable the user interface). The trouble is, the PopUpManager appears to be shared across all applications in the flash player, so the popup isn't added relative to the widget, it's added relative to the application. Also, the whole of the application is disabled, not just the widget. Does anyone have any clever ways around this? Thanks, Mark
[flexcoders] How to get screen coordinate from child application
Hi, if I have an application within an application, how can I convert
coordinates from the child app to the parent app? I need to display a
popup window and if I use the x, y values from the child application,
they are set to zero, but when loaded into a parent app, they are
actually around 200, 200.
|-|
|Parent |
| |
| |--| |
| | Child | |
| |--| |
| |
| |
|-|
Both parent and child are flex apps. But the x,y values for child are
{0,0}. I want to popup a dialog which completely covers the child
application, from within the child app.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark
[flexcoders] Runtime Error 2048
I developed one simple file to get data from cfc and display in flex application. It's working fine in my development box, but it's blowing an error after i moved that application into my production server. Error: faultDetail:'Channel.Security.Error error Error#2048: Security sandbox violation: http://.. Any ideas about this error, i went through lot of forums and blogs but i couldn't find solution any where. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks ch
Re: [flexcoders] Adding to an ArrayCollection
Hi Don,
You should be able to do:
for each (xyz2:CustComponent in someArrayCol){
xyz2.address = Some address;
}

[flexcoders] DataGrid editor/renderer MouseDownHandler error
I've been working on getting a datagrid to validate and I am close. However, whenever I click on a cell in the datagrid, I get a runtime error in the DataGrid.as file, because my itemEditorInstance is null. However, I am providing an extended TextInput to the datagrid column the itemEditor and the itemRenderer. I've tried setting the rendererIsEditor to both true and false, but nothing changes. Has anyone seen this? Or can tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm trying to follow examples, but obviously I'm doing something wrong. Thanks, John
RE: [flexcoders] nulling primitive data types
Troy, Thanks for the additional comment but remember I am not the original poster.. someone asked a question for how people work with nullable primitives and I provided a response on how I particularly do it (which of course is only one of many possibilities). We've been using MIN_VALUE for several years in both .NET and Flex and have been extremely happy with the results. While someone may feel this is not correct from some theoretical standpoint, it works very well, is easy to understand, and doesn't require mucking with the API and making radical changes to support nullable primitives. Serialization of course depends on the mechanism for communication and in my case we're not converting to strings, we're not even doing our own custom conversion at all, we're using Flash Remoting. So having a scheme that works well with built in serialization made the choice that much easier. Again, my comments are only an example of how we do it and I'm happy with this methodology. I personally believe that adding extra reset and clear methods for every property just to provide some level of theoretical correctness is unnecessary, makes things run slower, and causes extra work. However, it is a valid point and suggestion and if you do this and it works for you, then great, always good to have more opinions and options. Best regards, Sam --- We're Hiring!

If interested contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Troy Gilbert Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2007 1:33 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] nulling primitive data types Sam, I think that you're out of luck when it comes to Boolean. There is no undefined boolean value, and boolean can only ever be equal to true or false, nothing else. I'd second the recommendation in the case of number of using NaN to represent undefined values (and for that reason use Number in place of int/uint whenever I need undefined numeric values, though MIN_VALUE or MAX_VALUE sounds like equally good choices). I think the *correct* way of handling this will require a lot of model work, but it'll make it airtight in the end (and the API for the model will be clean even if the internals are dirty). What you're really talking about are two issues, one of serialization and one of Flex API. In regards to serialization, you'll more than likely be translating these values into strings to transmit to the server, in which case you simply just use a NULL string value (just like SQL) to indicate nulls and handle them appropriately on the server side. In regards to API of your Flex classes, this is the approach I've taken: in your model, create getters and setters for the various properties you want to be nullable. The getters and setters should return the correct static types. For each property you add an additional method named something like resetXXX or clearXXX that sets the property to the undefined value (since you can directly set the properties to undefined values). Internally to your model class, you store the private backing variables for the properties as plain old Objects, assigning them null is they're undefined. Your getters/setters will deal with all of the messy casting/boxing the types to and from the backing object. The one convention you need to establish is what happens when a client of the model attempt to get an undefined value. In most of my scenarios, an undefined value meant the value what either a default or an inherited value, so I always had a valid value to return even when the actual model instance's value was undefined (think prototypes). If getting an undefined value is a mistake, then you'll probably want to throw an exception *and* provide a method for the user to validate a property (isValidXXX, etc.) so that folks don't have to always try/catch around your exception for nulls. Yep, it does make the implementation of the model very messy (or busy, rather), but the API to the model remains clean and accurate to the application's design. Troy.
