[flexcoders] First attemt at getting result back from AMFPHP - Why is it a Object
I'm using AMFPHP 1.9B and have created a service called
inventory.getInventoryGroups - in the AMF service browser I see the
result just perfect. :
(mx.collections::ArrayCollection)#0
filterFunction = (null)
length = 5
list = (mx.collections::ArrayList)#1
length = 5
source = (Array)#2
[0] (Object)#3
data = 1
label = Moduler
[1] (Object)#4
data = 2
label = Hylder
[2] (Object)#5
data = 3
label = Skuffer
[3] (Object)#6
data = 4
label = Hvidlakerede bakker
[4] (Object)#7
data = 5
label = Andet
uid = 42A87A93-37B2-1BCF-2D31-1E7CD7004C04
sort = (null)
source = (Array)#2
But when I try to use the result in Flex (I've modified the examples
from Adobe
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex2_amfphp.html, using a
RemotingConnection copied from the Adobe example.
The problem is, that I get an Object back from AMFPHP and I just cant
figure out how to use that ??
This is my AS snippet :
public var gateway : RemotingConnection;
public function initApplication():void
{
gateway = new RemotingConnection( gwurl );
gateway.call( inventory.getInventoryGroups, new
Responder(onResult, onFault));
}
public function onResult( result : Object ) : void
{
trace( result );
selInventoryGroups.dataProvider = result as ArrayCollection;
}
public function onFault( fault : String ) : void
{
trace( fault );
}
I'm trying to populate a simple ComboBox with the result ! What have I
done wrong [:-/] ?
BTW If I select result : ArrayCollection it returns an error Cant
convert Object to ArrayCollection
Thanks for your help,

[flexcoders] Re: Flash game ESC problem
Sory for the late reply. Well, in my case, we are making games for kids, from age 7-11, and all games run in full screen. We dont want the kids to press escape and get MINIMAZED windows, we want to game to exit completly on ESC, or block ESC and expose an exit button in game just like all other games do. The main point here is to make Flash tehnoloty transparent. The directX world wanted ALT+TAB blocked just to block users to get to windows while the game is running so it cant be easely cracked, or in MMORPG world, so that to pockets cant be sniffed easely. All those blocks are used to prevent bad people to do bad things to your software.

Re: [flexcoders] First attemt at getting result back from AMFPHP - Why is it a Object
Use ObjectUtil.toString() to see what type the result really is in the Console,
my guess is it's an Array though.

[flexcoders] RSL Digests.
Checking out this page : http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/flex3/html/help.html?content=rsl_08.html We like this feature as it gives us a lot of control over which version of a swf we can deliver to a client, but there is a couple of points the article doesn't make clear. Does the RSL get downloaded onto a user's machine before the digest is checked? I wouldn't imagine so, as this would be a huge waste of resources (especially for those of us tossing around massive swfs). So, does the digest get checked against before, or after the RSL is downloaded? Gk.

[flexcoders] Problem adding a control to a container??
Given you have a container(outer) that contains another container (inner) which itself contains a control that is large enough to force the scrollbars on in container inner i.e. mx:VBox id=outer mx:VBox height=300 id=inner mx:DataGrid height=400 width=200/ /mx:VBox /mx:VBox Then you run the following code (you can run it from appComplete) inner.parent.removeChild(inner); var lbl:Label = new Label(); lbl.text=HELLO WORLD inner.addChild(lbl); outer.addChild(inner); The Label never appears, however change the height of inner (say just remove the height attribute) so the scrollbars dont come on, run again and Label appears. Anyone seen this issue? It appears to me the problem is connected with setting the nestLevel on child controls. When you add the inner container back in it will try to set the nestLevel on all its children which is what we want for the Label becuase as it is newly created its nestLevel is 0 and it wont appear. However it uses rawChildren to iterate over the child objects and if the scrollbars are on the Label is not a raw child of the container, the contentPane is but it is a sprite so it is ignored by the container so Label never gets its nestLevel set. The reason why the grid stays visible is because its nestLevel never got set to 0 when the container was removed because again the container ignored it. Seems a prb in both FB2 and FB3. tks

Re: [flexcoders] Desde pagina Flex = mostrar archivo PDF (From Flex to PDF)
I suggest using a PDF library API for archive (PDF/A). Adobe LCDS, as I understand it, produces PDF/X or XML based PDF documents which while the implementation maybe easier the resulting PDF have certain limitations. I recommend PDFlib as a robust PDF api with ability to produce more mainstream PDF format and allow many more opportunities for interactive features and annotations.

[flexcoders] Loading Flex Components at runtime
Hello,
I want to design a Flex Web Application that would
load features (flex components) hosted in different
SWF or SWC files at runtime. The prototype of that
application can be viewed on the url below.
http://80.227.133.21/FlexTestInternal/ApplicationLayoutManager.html
The actual application needs to call a webservice that
will return an xml. A sample xml is attached herewith.
The xml contains the layout description and the names
of feature (flex components) to be loaded. The layout
and features varies for different users.
I am thinking about deploying features in separate
SWF/SWC files so that only the required files will be
download at runtime. Can you please let me know the
following in this regard?
1. How can I package individual features in separate
SWF/SWF file using Flex Builder2.
2. How can I load the those separate SWF/SWC files at
runtime from the main SWF file?
3. In case of separate SWF/SWC files for features,
will the Flex library be included in every SWF/SWC
file?
I am also attaching the code of the prototype
application.
Regards,
Jehanzeb

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Streaming bytes through a web service
Hello Jeremy, I am also a fledgling to Flex Application development. I believe the problem you are facing (invalid xml) is because of the redult type you have specified for the flex webservice component. If you didn't specify the result then by default flex assumes it's xml. Search for WebService and resultFormat in Flex help to see the possible values of resultFormat attribute. It would be handy if you can provide the same code of flex that you have using to call the webservice. Hope this helps.

[flexcoders] Custom events and view states
i, need some help from the event guru.
I have several view states, each of them contain custom component,
which is subscribed to listen to my custom GenEvent.
When I click the button and change the view state, the components on
that state don't get the event!
private function onSidesChange():void{
switch(sides.value){
case 1:
currentState='';
break;
case 2:
currentState=2sides;
break;
default:
currentState=3sides;
break;
}
dispatchEvent(new GenEvent(config,GenEvent.TYPE));
}
It looks like the problem is that the components are not ready at the
moment the event is dispatched.. If I pass the event manually, like
with button click it works. What can be the workaround?
I tried to dispatch event in creationComplete handler of the parent
container (that is common for all 3 states), but it doesn't work. The
only solution I came up with is to put creationComplete handler inside
each container on the view state(but I have lots of them, which is ugly).

[flexcoders] binding handler called twice
Hello, I have a form with options and below it a preview, which should reflect the changes in options immediately, so the user could see what it wold look like with this set of options. The preview is a custom comp, and i send it events with the options data (Value object) so that it could update accordingly. The only solution I could come up with was to bind the form data to this Config object, and then to dispatch the event with this Config data. I tried first the change handler, but at the moment the handler is called, the binding didn't occur. I tried to listen to propertyChange event (binding default trigger) but it didn't work at all. Then I came to ChangeWatcher. I have a form item - checkbox, and a custom class property bound to it. mx:FormItem id=comItem mx:CheckBox label=Allow Comments id=comments selected=true/ mx:CheckBox label=Tree Comments id=treeComments/ /mx:FormItem I have set up a Change watcher to pass the bound object when the checkbox value is changed. ChangeWatcher.watch(comments,selected,onBinding); but my handler gets called twice, once when the event is a FlexEvent, second when it's a MouseEvent.. I suppose It should get called only once. If anyone knows a better solution on how to do what I want, i can use it. But so far the watcher thing works, but the handler is called twice...
[flexcoders] LCDS, Hibernate, Destinations and Client Side Cacheing
Hello Everyone, I have some questions about the technologies mentioned above. Let's say I had a relational database, I know this is a stretch :) Or at least it would seem so based on all the documentation and examples. If I had the following structure... Company has many Employees. Each Employee has one Company. Each Employee has many WorkOrders, a WorkOrder belongs to an Employee. A WorkOrder has many Proposals, each Proposal beolongs to a WorkOrder. Each Proposal has many LineItems, etc. I'll provide some example configs at the bottom of my post. Here are my questions. 1. Do I need a corresponding mx:DataService/ for each destination? If I do a fill on getWorkOrdersForEmployee, I get the whole data model for that employee (which is what I want) 2. If I set a CacheID for the DataService, I get an error saying that nested Destinations are not supported. Does this mean that If I used relationships and complex data models, I can't use client side cacheing? 3. In Christophe's blog he mentions that the dataService first tries to connect to the server before loading the data from the local cache, But in the documentation it says the opposite is true DataService instance always attempts to load any local data before attempting to establish a connection and satisfy a fill() or getItem() request. Which one is it? Thanks in advance, any clarification would be greatly appreciated. If I'm completely off base it would be great if someone would let me know, maybe i'm just approaching this all wrong :) Here is an example Destination in my data-management-config.xml (I included only the metadata section to keep example as short as possible) destination id=hibernate-work-order metadata identity property=id/ one-to-many property=proposals destination=hibernate-proposal/ many-to-one property=employee destination=hibernate-employee/ /metadata /destination I have the following hibernate mapping files. WorkOrder.hbm.xml Employee.hbm.xml Proposal.hbm.xml LineItem.hbm.xml Company.hbm.xml Here is an example of how they are mapped. (leaving out the columns) hibernate-mapping class name=WorkOrderVO table=work_orders catalog=somedb many-to-one name=employee class=EmployeeVO fetch=select column name=employee_id / /many-to-one set name=proposals inverse=true key column name=work_order_id not-null=true / /key one-to-many class=ProposalVO / /set query name=getAllFrom WorkOrderVO j/query query name=getWorkOrdersForEmployeeFrom WorkOrderVO wo where wo.employee.id = :employee/query /class /hibernate-mapping
[flexcoders] Problem with compiled swf (only working with debug version of flash player)
Hello, I wrote an application but the problem is that it's only working when you have the flash debug player. I use HTTPServices for my data and when people try to access it without the debug player, they can see the application but get no data. Very weird. I try'd to recompile the file with flex2 instead of 3 but this isn't working either. Anybody had this problem before ? Greets, Ward
[flexcoders] Label not updating properly
Ok I have a label in my flex app.
mx:Label bottom=0 left=0 textAlign=center text=Start Date:
{dispDate} width=100% height=5% /
The dispDate is defined as
[Bindable]
public var dispDate:Date = new Date();
then in an init function I update the date through flashvars which
javascript is passing in a millisecond time.
dispDate.setTime(Application.application.parameters.startTime);
I can alert the dispDate and it shows the updated date, but the label
doesn't update and is just the current date...
how can I make it update.
thanks
[flexcoders] Re: Flex 2.0.1: itemRenderer won't get printed using PrintDataGrid
Hi Muzak, Do you know of any way to apply the same logic, but as a MovieClip instead of a Bitmap? I have a swf that loads in a SWFLoader and I want to take the content of that loader (as a MovieClip) and duplicate it so I can put it in the display list in other areas of my application at the same time. The content of the SWFLoader needs to remain vector so it can be zoomed effectively. duplicateMovieClip doesn't exist any more and any attempt to assign the completed content of one SWFLoader to another's source (so it doesn't have to load it via http) removes that content from the first component before moving it to the other. Thanks for any insight you might have! Phil
Re: [flexcoders] Label not updating properly
I would bet that the binding just looks for changes to the value of
dispDate not to changes in its attributes. You should be able to verify
this by setting your compiler to keep generated code, then go look
through what it generates. But, operating on this assumption, I would
say your two options are to update your dispDate as follows
dispDate = new Date(Application.application.parameters.startTime)
or alternatively set it the way you are, then manually update your label
with something like myLabel.invalidateDisplayList().

Re: [flexcoders] [ AIR ] Create files on local system possible ?
Yes, in general, you should not use native path (as that wont work across operating system). If possible you should try and use some of the built in File APIs for creating the path to your files. mike chambers [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Nov 8, 2007, at 6:03 AM, Adnan Doric wrote: Thank you I solved the problem by using file.url (file:///...).

Here's one way of doing it:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute
creationComplete=appInit();
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
import mx.controls.SWFLoader;

var swfReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(_assets/test.swf);
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,

loader.load(swfReq);
}
private function swfCompleteHandler(evt:Event):void {
trace(Application ::: swfCompleteHandler);
var t:LoaderInfo = evt.currentTarget as LoaderInfo;
this.swfContent = t.content as MovieClip;
trace(- target: +t)
trace(- content: +t.content);
var swf:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader();
swf.addEventListener(FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE, swfUpdateCompleteHandler);

addChild(swf);
}
private function swfUpdateCompleteHandler(evt:Event):void {
trace(Application ::: swfUpdateCompleteHandler);
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:Application
Note that the loaded swf is not duplicated, but the loader content (which is a
MovieClip) is assigned to the source property of an
SWFLoader instance.
Another way would be to load the swf as Binary data using URLLoader, then use
Loader.loadBytes() and display the Loader content in
an Image or SWFLoader instance.

I have a very simple app with a List that displays a custom drag proxy. It works just fine in Flex 2, but in Flex 3 the custom drag proxy does not show. I simply override the protected ListBase.dragImage getter to return my custom drag image (I am pulling the image source out of the currently selected row) like such: var renderer:CustomItemRenderer = this.indexToItemRenderer(this.selectedIndex) as CustomItemRenderer; var actualImage:Image = renderer.thumbImage; var dragProxy:Image = new Image(); dragProxy.source = actualImage.source; dragProxy.setActualSize(actualImage.width, actualImage.height); return dragProxy; I see the custom drag proxy moving around fine in Flex 2, but nothing is drawn in Flex 3. I do get the drag indicator (red X when not over a drop target), and when I drop the image it does show up. It is just that the custom drag proxy does not show while dragging. Any ideas?
[flexcoders] Dragging - ListBase.dragImageOffsets?
ListBase defines two overrideable (protected) getters: dragImage dragImageOffsets It looks to me like the design was to allow subclasses to override the drag image and the offset of it, which is great. However, if you check out ListBase.dragStartHandler, it only ever looks at dragImage. Shouldn't this line: DragManager.doDrag(this, dragSource, event, dragImage, 0, 0, 0.5, dragMoveEnabled); actually be this line: var pt:Point = dragImageOffsets; DragManager.doDrag(this, dragSource, event, dragImage, pt.x, pt.y, 0.5, dragMoveEnabled); I don't even see dragImageOffsets being used anywhere, so I am assuming it was a partially implement design. Thoughts?

[flexcoders] event or method called when TileList renderer becomes visible?
What event gets fired, or what method is called on a renderer when it comes into view on a tile list?

RE: [flexcoders] Dragging - ListBase.dragImageOffsets?
Please file a bug From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of rkettrey Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2007 7:37 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Dragging - ListBase.dragImageOffsets? ListBase defines two overrideable (protected) getters: dragImage dragImageOffsets It looks to me like the design was to allow subclasses to override the drag image and the offset of it, which is great. However, if you check out ListBase.dragStartHandler, it only ever looks at dragImage. Shouldn't this line: DragManager.doDrag(this, dragSource, event, dragImage, 0, 0, 0.5, dragMoveEnabled); actually be this line: var pt:Point = dragImageOffsets; DragManager.doDrag(this, dragSource, event, dragImage, pt.x, pt.y, 0.5, dragMoveEnabled); I don't even see dragImageOffsets being used anywhere, so I am assuming it was a partially implement design.

[flexcoders] Re: RemoteObject call does not get through if called by a Module
Thanks Jeff. I added the extra debug patterns in LCDS, and made some progress (actually I got things working), but I still need some answers. First, it turned out the alias for flex.messaging.messages.RemotingMessage is not registered in my Module. so when my module's RemoteObject is sending out a RemotingMessage, and because it has no alias the LCDS does not properly map it into a flex.messaging.messages.RemotingMessage Ok, now...one single line of code added into my Module's constructor has fixed the whole problem. It is: registerClassAlias(flex.messaging.messages.RemotingMessage, mx.messaging.messages.RemotingMessage); The first question is why do I need to manually register this class alias for a Module? It is not required for the case the whole LCDS communication is done from the Flex main application. Is there a way to instruct the compiler to include this class alias registration at the Module compilation time? Is this the only class that needs to be explicitly registered in module to have things working, or I'll encounter further issues as I'll progress with the development? The second thing is the 2 messaging swcs (rpc.swc and fds.swc) have to be linked as merged into code on my Module project (which is an ActionScript project in FlexBuilder) otherwise the above statement will throw an exception. So linking them as external won't work. Will that be an issue? I remember you saying it's important having these libraries linked as External to the module.. but as I said, some aliases are not visible to my module and I already had to explicitly register one to have things working.. Thanks, Robert --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Jeff Vroom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This does seem strange. There are a few tricks you can use to get more details. On the server, the debug logging configuration is set via the WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml file (set level=Debug and the pattern tags below control which patterns are logged). The Endpoint.* pattern will show the details of the serialization process including the alias sent over from the player. The other thing that would be interesting is on the client side to check the aliases registered for these Message classes. If the server responds with an instance of a class like mx.messaging.messages.AcknowledgeMessage and there is no alias for that class in the SWF, it will come back as an Object and you get those type casting errors. There is the describeType call in the player apis which lists the info for a given class and the mx.utils.ObjectUtil.getClassInfo method uses that to return this info in a form that is easier to use from ActionScript. When we build the swcs such as rpc.swc and fds.swc which include message classes, we use a trick so that any swf that links against that swc should include versions of the message classes. Their aliases should also get registered at that time. I believe that aliases are visible across the player instance and not isolated for a module so it might be possible for a module to get loaded that registers an alias for a class loaded via another domain. That is one reason it is important to ensure only the main swf links in the Message classes. The other swfs should treat those swcs as external libraries.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flash game ESC problem
Well, in my case, we are making games for kids, from age 7-11, and all games run in full screen. We dont want the kids to press escape and get MINIMAZED windows, we want to game to exit completly on ESC, or block ESC and expose an exit button in game just like all other games do. The main point here is to make Flash tehnoloty transparent. If you're making a web game, what you're wanting simply isn't possible with Flash. If you're making a standalone executable (using Flash as the engine), then you can get the result you're wanting with a package like those provided my MultiDMedia and other commercial projectors. The directX world wanted ALT+TAB blocked just to block users to get to windows while the game is running so it cant be easely cracked, or in MMORPG world, so that to pockets cant be sniffed easely. Actually, that's not at all the reasons why ALT+TAB was blocked by DirectX games. Handling the lost of focus used to be a pain under DirectX and many developers simply chose to prevent it rather than properly handle it. The latest versions of DirectX can optionally handle all focus issues for the application transparently (at the expense of memory usage), and under the latest MS OS's and DirectX I don't think you can actually block ALT+TAB from working (I may be wrong, though).

[flexcoders] Deploying FLEX *.swf's and LCDS services on two separate servers
Hi, I've been building and debugging my flex/LCDS application on my local machine using Jrun to host my swf's and the LCDS messaging and Data services that it subscribes to. Now the application is almost done and I'm thinking about deployment. Due to performance concerns I'm trying to separate the swf hosting and LCDS services on two different servers. ie: I want one web application server (jrun or tomcat) to just host the swf and assets. I want another separate web application server to run LCDS (via jrun or tomcat) and handle the RTMP and data management assemblers. The idea is that one server handles the load of hosting the swf/application assets while the other server just concentrates on processing/transmitting RTMP messages and managing data assemblers. My problem is that I can't figure out how to change the compiler/server settings so that the compiled .swf files subscribe to the LCDS services hosted on another server. I'd appreciate it if anybody with experience in this matter would be kind enough to help.

[flexcoders] Re: Streaming bytes through a web service
I think I am following what you are saying about setting the result

documentation that on the WebService you can set the Operation type, but
it is done through the mx:operation tag and not through the WebService
class itself (although their is a protected method initializeOpertion on
the WebService).
Is Flex like Java, where if I want to have access to that protected
method, then I need to create a class that extends the WebService and is
located in the same package structure?
Is this what you were thinking by the setting the result type? If so,
which type? Object?
mx:operation
Properties
concurrency=multiple|single|last
name=No default, required.
resultFormat=object|xml|e4x
makeObjectsBindable=false|true
Events
fault=No default.
result=No default.

If I do return it as an object, then do I need to write my own
attachments class that will know how to handle attachments?

Given you have a container(outer) that contains another container (inner) which itself contains a control that is large enough to force the scrollbars on in container inner i.e. mx:VBox id=outer mx:VBox height=300 id=inner mx:DataGrid height=400 width=200/ /mx:VBox /mx:VBox Then you run the following code (you can run it from appComplete) inner.parent.removeChild(inner); var lbl:Label = new Label(); lbl.text=HELLO WORLD inner.addChild(lbl); outer.addChild(inner); The Label never appears, however change the height of inner (say just remove the height attribute) so the scrollbars dont come on, run again and Label appears. Anyone seen this issue? It appears to me the problem is connected with setting the nestLevel on child controls. When you add the inner container back in it will try to set the nestLevel on all its children which is what we want for the Label becuase as it is newly created its nestLevel is 0 and it wont appear. However it uses rawChildren to iterate over the child objects and if the scrollbars are on the Label is not a raw child of the container, the contentPane is but it is a sprite so it is ignored by the container so Label never gets its nestLevel set. The reason why the grid stays visible is because its nestLevel never got set to 0 when the container was removed because again the container ignored it. Seems a prb in both FB2 and FB3. tks

[flexcoders] segments with out of range endpoints on LineSeries
Is there some way to get LineSeries to draw segments with out-of-range endpoints, other than setting filterData=false ? I have a LineChart with a DateTimeAxis that has its minimum and maximum set so that not all data points are visible. As suggested in messages 61005 and 62883, I set filterData=false so that LineSeries segments are drawn in the chart area even if the endpoints are out of range. But this causes two unwanted effects: - data tips stop working (as described in message 65440) - NaN or missing points are plotted on chart (with y value = max y value in data provider).

[flexcoders] binding event processing
Hi all, I want to catch binding events. I have object bound to UI, I want to do some actions when the binding occurs. The documentation says flex dispatches propertyChange event. I tried to listen to it though addEventListener, but it didn't work. Anybody knows why? Then I tried to use ChangeWatcher. Well it works, but the handler is called multiple times. Depending on the type of UI widget, this is a FlexEvent and then MouseEvent, or any other component specific event. Any Idea why it is called twice? Thanks
[flexcoders] How would you make a heat map?
I'm thinking about making a heat map overlay. I'm not sure how to go about it though. Does anyone have any ideas? Lets say you have a grid, the more points you have in one place the more red it is in that place, less would be yellow, then green, then blue. I don't know how I would code this though Any help is appreciated.
Re: [flexcoders] Saving Duplicate Reference in Data Services - Hibernate
I want to update a little on the problem we are having. It is still
not resolved so any help would be much appreciated:
This all has to do with saving images to our database (as Base64
Strings) in a class called ImageVO which hold image, title, tags, etc...
We have a contacts class (ContactVO) which holds two things related
to images: 1) an defaultImage 2) an images collection
OUR JAVA CLASS
@ManyToOne
public ImageVO getDefaultImage() {
return defaultImage;
}
public void setDefaultImage(ImageVO defaultImage) {
this.defaultImage = defaultImage;
}
@ManyToMany(cascade = { CascadeType.ALL })
public SetImageVO getImages() {
return images;
}
public void setImages(SetImageVO images) {
this.images = images;
}
OUR OUR ACTIONSCRIPT CLASS
[ArrayElementType(com.onefoot.dbocl.vo.misc.ImageVO)]
public var images : ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
public var defaultImage : ImageVO;
OUR DESTINATION
(** notice we do not set up a separate destination for Images since
we have no need to manage a separate list of all our images in the
database. However, do we need a destination for every potential
nested collection in our objects? I hope not, but possibly this is
the case.)

OUR CODE
In our code we create an ImageVO (myNewImageVO using our bitmap to
Base64 conversion) and then add that image to the contact's image
list, we then want to add the same image as the default image.
contactVO.images.addItem(myNewImageVO);
contactVO.defaultImage = myNewImageVO;
//WE TRIED THIS AS WELL WITH NO SUCCESS...
//contactVO.defaultImage = contactVO.images.getItemAt(0) as ImageVO;
HERE IS WHAT IS HAPPENING
1) with the addItem call (line 1), Flex-Hibernate is adding the
image row to the images table adding an entry in the
contacts_images table. What we would expect!
2) when we then add the same image to the defaultImage property (line
2) it adds it again to the database in a new row and then puts the
key of that row in a the defaultImage_id column in contacts.
Basically it seems it is not seeing that the image is the same image
as the one added to the images collection...not desirable...
3) HOWEVER, here is what is strange...
It then updates the row in the contacts_images table with the new id
of this second image it has added, thus linking them all together
like they should be. So ultimately, we have the structure we are
after...but unfortunately, it doesn't remove the old image so now we
have an orphaned image in the database.
(It is important to note that this same behavior happens when we make
the two calls consecutive OR when we call them separately. It is
also important to note that doing this same process directly in Java
(with Hibernate) works correctly without the duplicate image
creation, so we are lead to believe there is something in the way we
have set up Flex to work with Java Hibernate that is causing this
to behave this way. Obviously, doing another complete insert of the
image is wasteful since all that really needs to happen when one
updates the defaultImage property is for a id to get saved in the
contacts table...
If you have made it this far, thanks for reading and hopefully you
can help us find out where we are going wrong with this stuff. We
have over 100 classes most of which include nested collections so
this is going to be of great importance to us as we are developing.
Also, if there is any documentation (other than the dev guide which
is nice but seems incomplete) that give a more detailed description
of each of the possible parameters in the data-management-config.xml,
that would really help. Are there docs for this? We are finding it
very hard to understand what to do in that document to get the
behavior we are looking for. For example, what are the possible
properties that can go inside the metadata tag?...
Thanks for your help with this!

[flexcoders] AS2 errors and code when debugging in Flex Builder
I'm using a SWFLoader to load an AS2 Swf. When it loads I see my AS2 code in the call stack in the flex debugger...and errors are thrown. Is this expected? I'm porting this code, which is just a SWFLoader loading an AS2 swf, from an AIR App. I didn't see those errors and AS2 code call stack in the AIR app. Also, when I ran this as an AIR app, all relative urls in my AS2 swf were loaded relative to the AS2 swf. Now that I'm compiling a Flex Application, I see security issues when it loads relative urls from file:// I'm confused about what determines this. Any help would be appreciated...
