[flexcoders] How to load image with non-ascii chars in path?
Hi, I tried using an mx:Image source=[path]\image.png / where [path] contains non-ASCII characters. In some cases it works, (when using Chinese chars), in others it doesn't (when using Japanese chars). I'm not sure if there's a bug in Flex, or there's something missing in my env settings or such. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Roy

Re: [flexcoders] Grid Editing
The way I typically do this is to have a simple form (asking for only required data) above or below the grid. When the user adds data in this form I add the new row and then clear the form. If you don't want the form visible at all times use an mx:state to hide it until the user gestures that they want to add data... then hide it again after the data is added. Note: If you want even simpler just put an add button near the form, or context menu item, etc. then add the new row with dummy values when clicked. hth Scott Scott Melby Founder, Fast Lane Software LLC http://www.fastlanesw.com yourName wrote: I have a flex grid with editable=true but the problem is i can only edit data in the grid but can not add entire new row to the grid how can i do this . empty cells r always un-editbale how can make thses cells editable as well plz help me..

[flexcoders] How to code/configure remoting so endpoint URLs not hardcoded in .swf ?
Hi,
I am developing an application which needs to have a separate
installation for each client (i.e. Client1 will access the app via
www.mycomp.com/myapp/client1, Client2 will access the app via
www.mycomp.com/myapp/client2, etc).
However, as I understand things from the documentation for
mx:RemoteObject and LCDS, the mxmlc compiler uses context-root
property (and other properties) in conjunction with the
remoting-config.xml and services-config.xml to build your swf file,
and basically hard-codes the context root into this file. This means
that I would have to recompile the app for each client - obviously far
from ideal.
Having googled extensively, I have amended my flex code as follows to
try and get around the above issue:
code
...
public function init():void {
var amfChannel:AMFChannel
= new AMFChannel(my-amf, getContextRootUrl()
+ /messagebroker/amf);
amfChannel.pollingEnabled = false;
var myChannelSet:ChannelSet = new ChannelSet();
myChannelSet.addChannel(amfChannel);
myService.channelSet = myChannelSet;
}
private function getContextRootUrl():String {
var i:int = Application.application.url.lastIndexOf(/);
var contextRootUrl:String
= Application.application.url.substring(0, i);
return contextRootUrl;
}
...
mx:RemoteObject
id=myService
destination=MyService
endpoint={getEndpointUrl()}/messagebroker/amf
showBusyCursor=true
result=event.token.resultHandler( event )
fault=event.token.faultHandler( event )
requestTimeout=30/
...
/code
I have left my services-config.xml and remoting-config.xml files
unchanged:
services-config.xml:
code
...
channel-definition id=my-amf
class=mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel
endpoint
url=http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amf;
class=flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint/
properties

/code

component).

Re: [flexcoders] className question
The className property is used to reference a chunk of code (like the name of your mxml file would do). You would have to follow all the same namespace rules as you would if you were to create an Actionscript or mxml class/component. Unless you have multiple data fields in your item editor which need to be referenced by typing it to a specific class, it would probably be better to use the DataGrid.itemEditorDataField property instead.

Re: [flexcoders] How can I make the preloader wait until my runtime styles have been applied?
From the Adobe livedocs The Preloader class is used by the SystemManager to monitor the download and initialization status of a Flex application. It is also responsible for downloading the runtime shared libraries (RSLs). By design, the preloader is supposed to run prior to loading any shared libraries. You might want to try pulling out the styles you need for the preloader and apply them at compile time. If you prefer to load them at runtime, you can use the StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations function in your preloader and wait to start it until the StyleManager finishes loading (function returns an IEventDispatcher where you can listen for StyleEvent.COMPLETE). Although, I'm not sure how well the later will work before the application finishes initializing.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: AMFPHP 1.9 security problem
You can create the login/logout methods in a parent class and have all your child classes extend it. However, what I did was create one Auth class which gets called for login/logout requests and returns an authentication token to the client. This can be as simple as a session ID, or be a more complex object with a user id, user hash (generated at login), available classes/methods, etc. The idea is to pass this authentication token as a parameter to each request, and validate it before serving any data. Perhaps there is an easier way to do what you want, but this has worked for me pretty well.

Re: [flexcoders] Resizing and default size of custom components....
Does it not work to make the itemRenderer width/height 100%? This is will make each item take up all it's available space equally divided between each item. If you do not want the items equally divided, you can set them to different percentages, or override the updateDisplayList function within the itemRenderer and calculate it's size based on the size of the parent. Hope this helps. Best Regards, ...aaron On 11/17/07, DreamCode [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all! I have a weird problem about sizing of tilelists/items and before I pull out the last remaining straws on my head I decided to see if any experts had knowledge to share. I have number of TileLists on screen, the actual number of lists and their size is something the user can customize, but typically it will be 1-4 lists sized as % on both width/height. In the tilelist I want to show data with a specific item renderer but which item renderer is also something that the user can customize. So typically I will have a TileList of unknown size in pixels. Lets say that I want to show a list with 3 rows vertically and the amount of columns is based on the amount of items in the data provider. Is it possible to have the item renderer resize to the available size.ie. around 1/3 of the tilelist height if we take gaps into consideration. Below is what i'm trying to do: *var* paneTemp:TileList = *new* TileList(); paneTemp.styleName = *basePane*; *var* paneStyle:CSSStyleDeclaration = * new* CSSStyleDeclaration; paneStyle = xmlToStyleDeclaration(XMLList(panesXML.constraints),paneTemp); // This is where I find the properties for size/position paneTemp.styleDeclaration = paneStyle; *var* item1:ContentItem = *new* ContentItem(); item1.contentImage = *img/folder1.jpg*; item1.contentTitle = *Item 1*; contentList0.addItem(item1); *var* item2:ContentItem = *new* ContentItem(); item2.contentImage = * img/folder2.jpg*; item2.contentTitle = *Item 2*; contentList0.addItem(item2); paneTemp.itemRenderer=*new* ClassFactory(ContentRenderer1); paneTemp.dataProvider = contentList0; paneContainer.addChild(paneTemp); The item renderer only have a max width/height defined and then I override the measure function to have the default size set to something different than whatever component the item renderer is based on. So in the example above the measure function of the item renderer set default size to 195w x 225h and that size is also the maxW/H for the item renderer. I would like it so that they have the default size if there's room, otherwise scale down to whatever size can fit in the list. I do not want the items to get bigger than the default/max size. The above example shows the items at the correct size if rowCount is not set for the TileList, but the TileList itself is larger than the size it was originally set to. If the TileList is empty the size is correct. The problem is best illustrated visually, so I have made an image of 3 scenarios.

Almong,
I don't see any problem with #5. The getTabsLabels() should contain a
simple null check, so it will only perform an action when your
serviceList object is populated.
Client-side manipulation of the serviceList object should take place
within the result method of the command retrieving the list.
I'm not sure what you mean when you state but it shouldn't be there
as it won't be readable. Can you clarify your concerns with this
approach?

[flexcoders] Confused by context.root, services-config.xml and remoting-config.xml...
Hi,
I've got an application that uses LCDS RemoteObjects and this worked
fine as a development build - I used the Ant mxmlc task and configured
the services and compiler.context-root properties to point at my
development LCDS web-app and everything was dandy.
However, when I tried to rename my web-app it stopped working... After
some googling I discovered that using {context.root} in your
services-config.xml and building with Flex Builder or mxmlc
effectively hard-codes the endpoint urls for your services into your
swf file.
This is an issue for me because I need to be able to do is compile my
app once, but then be able to be able copy this app for different
clients (i.e. each client will have a separate copy of the application
- Client1 will access the app via www.mycomp.com/myapp/client1,
Client2 will access the app via www.mycomp.com/myapp/client2, etc).
I've tried creating an AMFChannel in my client code and setting this
as the channel for my mx:RemoteObjects, but this doesn't seem to work.
I'm guessing I might also need to amend my services-config-xml file to
get this to work???
If anyone can shed any light on this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

[flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm - what's you best practice on handling inital data from the server
Hi Nick,
Thanks for the help, the reasons why I'm not satisfied with #5 are
like that: The tabs naming is one operation that takes place, another
one is creating a ViewStack object to correspond those tabs.
Obviously, the view stack Can be built upon setting the TabBar
dataProvider, however, I think it's not readable beacuse when I open
an mxml component in search for a specific view control, the viewstack
in this example, I would look first at the mx:ViewStack / tag
instead, not at the TabBar, which should have nothing to do with the
ViewStack leaving it to be loosely coupled as much as possible.
Actually, this brings me the idea which I'll have to implement anyway,
to bind the ViewStack object's selectedIndex to the model using a
local helper function to get the selectedIndex, null checking the
model for the config file, and eventually returning an index.
This is not perfect but more elegant I think, yet I'd like to adapt
best practices dealing with such issues so feel about it :)
I almost forgot, my second drawback from the curly braces metjod is
the dispatching of redundant event, which is the reason that causes
the null checking to be essential.
Thanks and best regards,
Almog Kurtser.

If you host your SWF inside the same WAR that hosts the remoting
service, then you should be able to programmatically create a ChannelSet
of Channels that is based on the URL that was used to load the SWF (at
runtime you could look at the value of
mx.core.Application.application.url). Did you create a ChannelSet and
add your AMFChannel to that and then set that on your RemoteObject?

- Client1 will access the app via www.mycomp.com/myapp/client1, Client2 will access the app via www.mycomp.com/myapp/client2, etc). The way I've usually dealt with this is to set the endpoint property of the RemoteObject to point at whatever AMF endpoint url you want and then pass the value into the app via Flashvars, we then usually have an ASP page generate the HTML holding the swf and have it set whatever endpoint is required. I think the real problem is that if you use Flex Builder to build a 'data services' project then it automatically figures out endpoints for you, which is great until you need to change them. Stephen

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your reply. The answer is yes to all your questions.
This is the code I used:
public function init():void {
var amfChannel:AMFChannel
= new AMFChannel(my-amf, getContextRootUrl()
+ /messagebroker/amf);
amfChannel.pollingEnabled = false;
var myChannelSet:ChannelSet = new ChannelSet();
myChannelSet.addChannel(amfChannel);
myService.channelSet = myChannelSet;
}
private function getContextRootUrl():String {
var i:int = Application.application.url.lastIndexOf(/);
var contextRootUrl:String
= Application.application.url.substring(0, i);
return contextRootUrl;
}
...
mx:RemoteObject
id=myService
destination=MyService
endpoint={getEndpointUrl()}/messagebroker/amf
showBusyCursor=true
result=event.token.resultHandler( event )
fault=event.token.faultHandler( event )
requestTimeout=30/
Can you see any possible issues?
I'm still using the same services and compiler.context-root properties
for mxmlc, and I haven't amended my services-config.xml, so it still
has the following channel definition:
channel-definition id=my-amf
class=mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel
endpoint
url=http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amf;
class=flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint/
properties
polling-enabledfalse/polling-enabled
/properties
/channel-definition
Do I need to change any of this?

Hi,
I've got an application that uses LCDS RemoteObjects and this worked
fine as a development build - I used the Ant mxmlc task and configured
the services and compiler.context-root properties to point at my
development LCDS web-app and everything was dandy.
However, when I tried to rename my web-app it stopped working... After
some googling I discovered that using {context.root} in your
services-config.xml and building with Flex Builder or mxmlc effectively
hard-codes the endpoint urls for your services into your swf file.
This is an issue for me because I need to be able to do is compile my
app once, but then be able to be able copy this app for different
clients (i.e. each client will have a separate copy of the application
- Client1 will access the app via www.mycomp.com/myapp/client1,
Client2 will access the app via www.mycomp.com/myapp/client2, etc).
I've tried creating an AMFChannel in my client code and setting this as
the channel for my mx:RemoteObjects, but this doesn't seem to work.
I'm guessing I might also need to amend my services-config-xml file to
get this to work???
If anyone can shed any light on this it would be greatly appreciated.

[flexcoders] Launching 0% - Flex Builder 2 will not launch
No project will launch in Flex Builder 2, does not matter if it is a Basic or ColdFusion project. The SWF files and HTML files will launch in my browser, but not from within the Flex Builder 2 project, it just stays at Launching 0% and never opens and never times out. I have let it run for up to 20 minutes and nothing happens. I have no problems connecting ColdFusion to my Database and no issues with anything else. I can write code, compile, and then open the swf file with my browswer, just can't open it in Flex Builder 2. Flex Builder 2.0.1 ColdFusion 8 MSSQL Express Flash CS3 Dreamweaver CS3 I am running IIS and the output files are in a sub folder in my Web Root C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Flex I don't know what else you may need to know so ask away and I will do the best I can to answer any questions.

[flexcoders] Re: Viewstack problems
First lets explain the problem:
A viewstack normally doesn't create all it's children, but only the
visible ones. This has been done in an ateempt to minimize the
startuptime of your application.
Possible solution:
1. Ask yourself if you really need to write data on something that is
not visible. It's not like someone is going to notice it...
Try if you could use the initialize/show-events of the child itself to
do this.
2. If you can't delegate the writing, and you do have to write to an
invisible component. Do as Josh suggested and set the creationPlicy of
the viewstack and its children to all. This should let the viewstack
create it's children, even if they're not visible.

[flexcoders] Flex Builder 3 Beta 2 Resource Error (unable to resolve resource bundle collections for locale...)
Hi, I've just upgraded our production project to FB3 Beta2. I've had several errors which I've fixed but now I'm having trouble with the resources. Unable to resolve resource bundle collections for locale en_GB. And many others like it. I've created a blank directory in the frameworks folder to stop another error. How can I get FB3 to use compile-time localisation - as it was in FB2?? Thanks, Mark P.S. I've noticed this reported on the bug list, but it's closed. http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-12507 I think it needs re-opening as it's causing a hinderance trying to upgrade an older project.
Re: [flexcoders] Flex Builder 3 Beta 2 Resource Error (unable to resolve resource bundle collections for locale...)

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Confused by context.root, services-config.xml and remoting-config.xml...
If you're programmatically creating a ChannelSet then I wouldn't use the
endpoint attribute as that might override what you're doing. Also, if
you're only using RPC services like RemoteObject and you're creating
ChannelSets, then you don't need to compile against a
services-config.xml.
Other than that, I'd modify your code to look to see whether the URL was
HTTPS or not so that you'd create a SecureAMFChannel instead of an
AMFChannel.

I'm using RemoteObject services which connect to Java services via the
Spring Framework factory - will I need to compile against a
services-config.xml in this case?
I'm still a bit confused about when services-config.xml and
remoting-config.xml actually get used. Are they only used by Flex
Builder / mxmlc when you build your app to produce your .swf file? Or
do these files also used get used when your web server loads the LCDS
web app? If not, how and when do the destinations you configure in
remoting-config.xml get set up?
Thanks again,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Viewstack problems
I found that using a bound Model component is a great solution to populating
and
updating data displayed on viewstack children.
You can update the Model and when the viewstack child is visible the modified
data will be present.
for example:
Create a Model
mx:Model id=myModel
record
FirstNameHomer/FirstName
/record
/mx:Model
Add a text input to a viewstack child canvas
mx:TextInput text={myModel.FirstName} /
Then modify model using AS
myModel.FirstName = Bart
You can also bind your Model to an ArrayCollection, XML, or XMLListCollection
data source to populate it initially.
mx:Model id=myModel
record
FirstName{myDataSource.FirstName}/FirstName
/record
/mx:Model

Thanks for your help - Apologies if I'm being a bit thick , but I'm a
not quite sure what you mean when you say that you set the endpoint
property of the RemoteObject to point at whatever AMF endpoint url you
want. Could you clarify this a bit, please?
Hi,
RemoteObject defines an endpoint property which allows you to
programatically set the AMF endpoint used by that instance. So:
var ro:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject(...);
ro.endpoint = Application.application.parameters[gatewayUrl]
and you're ready to go, the RemoteObject will use either a secure AMF
channel or a regular AMF channel depending on whether or not the url you
provide it is https or not.
You can probably (and I've not checked) set it in mxml using data binding:
mx:RemoteObject ...
endpoint={Application.application.parameters['gatewayUrl']} ...
or somesuch. We set gatewayUrl from FlashVars in the containing ASP page,
so the server decides which endpoint a given application talks to.
Apologies if we're at crossed purposes here!

[flexcoders] Using RSL at development time - best practice?? Getting RSL Error
I am getting a RSL Error 1 of 1 when trying to redeploy a new library.swf which is extracted from my customcomponents.swc. I have a series of custom components that I am developing for use by another application(s) that I am also writing. I can successfully compile my SWCextract it's library.swf, then re-compile my other application and dynamically bind the application to the customcomponents.swc and its library.swf. I deploy my application.swf and the library.swf and things work great. However.since I am still in development mode, I want to make a change to one of my custom components in myrecompile my swcextract the library.swf and overwrite the library.swf to see my new changes. When I do this, I get an RSL Error 1 of 1 - Flex Error #1001: Digest mismatch with RSL c4BaseGUI.swf. Redeploy the matching RSL or relink your application with the matching library. Can this be done? I really don't want to have to recompile the entire SWF application for every change I make to a custom component in my SWC. What is the best practice here? Thanks!

Hi,
RemoteObject defines an endpoint property which allows you to
programatically set the AMF endpoint used by that instance. So:
var ro:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject(...);
ro.endpoint = Application.application.parameters[gatewayUrl]
and you're ready to go, the RemoteObject will use either a secure AMF

You can probably (and I've not checked) set it in mxml using data
binding:
mx:RemoteObject ...
endpoint={Application.application.parameters['gatewayUrl']} ...
or somesuch. We set gatewayUrl from FlashVars in the containing ASP

so the server decides which endpoint a given application talks to.
Apologies if we're at crossed purposes here!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Confused by context.root, services-config.xml and remoting-config.xml...
For the MXML RemoteObject API, it's true there is an endpoint property
and what steve writes about it automatically selecting the right channel
based on HTTP(S) URLs is correct, but it is not marked bindable and I've
not seen it used with MXML binding statements. So, I am suggesting that
while you're trying to get this to work - just use the programmatic
approach you're using with ChannelSet exclusively for now.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Garbage Collection question
IMHO, GC can't cause errors unless you eat up too much memory. In that case your errors would coincide with having a very large memory utilization number.

[flexcoders] AMFPHP 1.9B : Using ADODB5 to get UTF-8 data from MSSQL
Hi Guys - I know that this is NOT a PHP forum, but I feel that some of
you use AMFPHP extensively, so I thought I'd give it a try.
I have just started to use AMFPHP as a backend for Flex2 projects.
When I connect to MySQL databases it is just perfect and fast - great.
Now I need to connect to a MS SQL Server 2000, it is a sql server used
by a MS Dynamics Navision installation.
The data stored are stored in a non UTF-8 charset and database names
include stupid names like [DK idé-nyt as$Insertion] where the sql
driver stumbles on the ´
When I use ADODB in PHP and json_encode the result, it works fine.
When I try to use the following code in AMFPHP, the service browser
fails with a Flex error.
What can I do, to make this work ?
I'm quite new to PHP also, so please be gentle if you can :-)
Thanks for any help you might provide.
Thanks and sorry for this semi non-flex question

[flexcoders] Re: Binding with Associatives Arrays
Binding does not work with generic Objects when referencing their
properties. You will have to create a class that has Bindable
properties or that uses a get/set function pair to dispatch events to
allow binding to work.
Also, even though your example won't work, you need to be in the habit
of adding [Bindable] before variables that you are expecting to be
bindable.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: List Filter Problem driving me crazy!
(Sorry for quoting the whole freaking thing here... gmail won't let me edit
the quoted part :( )
Alex,
I am currently compiling using Flex Builder 3 and compiling my application
with Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 3 SDK.
Under this scenario, the items do sometimes remain selected - but sometimes
not.
If I compile versus Flex 3 M3 (beta 2) SDK, I see that the items do not
remain selected.
so apparently, I was taking advantage of a bug in the Flex 2 SDK with the
selectedIndices, eh? Bummer.
so if I want these items to remain selected I need to store the list of
selected items separately (as someone else mentioned on another list)
But I still want them to appear selected in the list, after the a filter is
removed or changed... is there a an event that fires off after a filter
operation is completed?
Also, I'm not sure how I can copy the item being selected to my temporary
storage area... or more importantly, how to remove the item being
deselected. The change() event on the list itself doesn't specific the item
being clicked and whether its being selected or deselected...
Any suggestions?

Take the following example:

select Item 1 then filter for Item 2... don't select anything.
Remove the filter now.
Item 1 is no longer selected. But the label still says it is
selected.. the label is bound to the
{cboRatings.selectedIndices.length} property.
In my test application I can't get it to work the way I want it to at
all. In my real application, it works sometimes but not others.
I thought maybe it was the CheckBoxList component that someone had
written for me... or the CheckBoxListItemRenderer that was part of
that component, but i'm finding the same problem in the above test
application which only uses a simple, standard list component.
If it makes any different, I'm compiling the application with Flex
Builder 3 (beta 2). I've compiled it with the Flex 2.0.1 HF3 SDK and
the latest Flex 3 beta SDK.
Why doesn't the list remember what's selected? Doesn't the filter
simply prevent an item from displaying?

The various *-config.xml file in the WEB-INF directory are used by the server to determine how to map an incoming request to a piece of server side code. Your remote object calls will specify one of the destinations listed in the config file (remoting-config.xml, perhaps, I don't have an FDS install to hand at the moment I'm afraid), when Flex sends the request this is sent along with it, at the server the' gateway', which is a servlet the url of which you specify as the remote object 'endpoint'', receives the call and uses the information in the config files to figure out which method to call on which object - remoting-config.xml essentially just maps the 'destination' name that flex sends to a class on the server. So, as a Flex developer you just have to make sure the server is running and that the any java class or jar files can be found by the server, and that you know the correct destination names to use in your RemoteObjects. What can cause confusion is that if in Flex Builder you specify a data services server when create the project then Flex Builder uses the config information on the server to automatically set endpoints on remote objects (IIRC you can specify a server-config file to mxmlc to achieve the same thing). This creates a dependency on the server against which you are building 'against' in flex builder, so when you come to deploy in another environment you find you're stuck as endpoint information has been baked into your swf by Flex Builder. You then have to go into your Flex code and add all the endpoints you thought you'd got away without having to worry about : \ Stephen.
[flexcoders] Re: Confused by context.root, services-config.xml and remoting-config.xml...
As suggested, I removed the endpoint property from my mx:RemoteObject
tag, removed the services property from my mxmlc Ant task and did a
clean, build, deploy.
mx:RemoteObject
id=mService
destination=MyService
showBusyCursor=true
result=event.token.resultHandler( event )
fault=event.token.faultHandler( event )
requestTimeout=30 /
Now when I run the app I get a Destination 'MyService' has no
channels defined and the application does not define any default
channels.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help - Apologies if I'm being a bit thick , but I'm
a not quite sure what you mean when you say that you set the
endpoint property of the RemoteObject to point at whatever AMF
endpoint url you want. Could you clarify this a bit, please?
Hi,
RemoteObject defines an endpoint property which allows you to
programatically set the AMF endpoint used by that instance. So:
var ro:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject(...); ro.endpoint =
Application.application.parameters[gatewayUrl]
and you're ready to go, the RemoteObject will use either a secure AMF
channel or a regular AMF channel depending on whether or not the url
you
provide it is https or not.
You can probably (and I've not checked) set it in mxml using data
binding:
mx:RemoteObject ...
endpoint={Application.application.parameters['gatewayUrl']} ...
or somesuch. We set gatewayUrl from FlashVars in the containing ASP
page,
so the server decides which endpoint a given application talks to.
Apologies if we're at crossed purposes here!

[flexcoders] Help Using Arabic and othe rBidi langauges form wise with Flex
All, we are building an app that has several areas of data entry in english and arabic. Because of the lack of bidi support we are rendeing html form elements infront of flex to display the arabic text, and using a style we are rendering the text rtl. Phrases are working fine, but multiword names are not. For example names like Abu Dhabi get show as Dhabi Abu. Currently we are using the function in JavascriptInjector.setstyle: ExtenalInterface.call(setStyle, uid, styleProp, newValue); so we make the call as this.setStyle(direction, rtl); any suggestions on a better way to do arabic support now, and not wait for Adobe? thanks in advance Jeff
[flexcoders] ColdFusion / Filter Function / Datagrid
HELP! I'm working on a proof-of-concept application. The first version had a simple arraycollection bound to a datagrid and a filter function that was attached to a text input. For the second part of the proof, I need to change the source of the array collection to a live data pulled in from ColdFusion via a CFC. The datagrid works perfectly, as expected. However, now the filter function do not work. :-( I get the following error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. I've complied for Flex 2.01 and Flex 3 beta 2 and I'm using CF 8 with IIS v5.1. I've been Googling this all day with no luck. Anyone out there got any ideas? Thanks ahead of time! Demian
Re: [flexcoders] Binding with Associatives Arrays
i'm trying to bind an associative array to some component property,
You can get close-ish using ObjectProxy:
[Bindable] var p:ObjectProxy;
function init() {
var obj:Object = {name: alice };
p = new ObjectProxy(d);
}
...
mx:Label text=name is {p.name} /
mx:Button click=p.name='bob' /
ObjectProxy wraps 'obj' and intercepts any attempt to get/set/call
anything on it. Crucially, when a property is set on ObjectProxy it
fires a PropertyChange event, which is what a data binding looks for
as the signal to update. While this will work with dynamic
properties using the normal '.' accessing syntax, I don't think
this'll work if you use the square bracket notation (perhaps someone
more knowledgable could tell us why?)

[flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm - what's you best practice on handling inital data from the server
Hi Almog,
I see your concern now. You're right in that the logic for creation
of the view stack should remain in the view code, not the command or
in some other binding.
Here's how we handle that situation. On the component's
creationComplete, we call init():
private function init():void
{
Changewatcher.watch(_model, servicesList, createViewStack)
}
private function createViewStack(event:PropertyChangeEvent):void
{
//do view stack creation logic here
}
This way, your view logic is in one place and built off the model. In
terms of the redundant dispatching of events, it will fire once or
twice on startup will a null value, but after that it should only fire
the one time your property is set. That's how all binding works and
it's nothing to worry about. Are your concerns performance-related,
or more about style/elegance?

Hi Nick,
Thanks for the help, the reasons why I'm not satisfied with #5 are
like that: The tabs naming is one operation that takes place, another
one is creating a ViewStack object to correspond those tabs.
Obviously, the view stack Can be built upon setting the TabBar
dataProvider, however, I think it's not readable beacuse when I open
an mxml component in search for a specific view control, the viewstack
in this example, I would look first at the mx:ViewStack / tag
instead, not at the TabBar, which should have nothing to do with the
ViewStack leaving it to be loosely coupled as much as possible.
Actually, this brings me the idea which I'll have to implement anyway,
to bind the ViewStack object's selectedIndex to the model using a
local helper function to get the selectedIndex, null checking the
model for the config file, and eventually returning an index.
This is not perfect but more elegant I think, yet I'd like to adapt
best practices dealing with such issues so feel about it :)
I almost forgot, my second drawback from the curly braces metjod is
the dispatching of redundant event, which is the reason that causes
the null checking to be essential.
Thanks and best regards,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Confused by context.root, services-config.xml and remoting-config.xml...
Now when I run the app I get a Destination 'MyService' has no channels defined and the application does not define any default channels. That sounds like a server configuration problem. My guess is that you have a 'destination' set up in your remoting- config.xml that isn't specifying a channel., and that there is no default channel element in your remoting-config file. The usual set up is something like: service id=remoting-service ... default-channels channel ref=my-amf / /default-channels destination id=my-destination /destination /service You can also specify channels on a per-destination basis. You need to make sure that whatever is in the ref attribute of the channel tags corresponds to one of the channel-definition's set up in your services-config.xml file, so in the above, you must have a channel with id=my-amf present. Hope this is of some use. Stephen

Setting width/height also sets explicitWidth/Height and thus affects the result of getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth/Height.

[flexcoders] Performance Impact when using custom item renderer
Hi all,
I'm seeing a huge performance degradation while using custom item
renderer with a datagrid. My datagrid is using a custom item renderer
for all its column. And even if my item renderer does nothing more
than :
public override function data(value:object)
{
super.data = value;
}
I'm still seeing a few more seconds delay compared to not using custom

Just wondering if this is a known issue with flex due to heavy graphic
rendering? Any pointers on how to speed things up a little bit? Thanks.

[flexcoders] Emulating Flash MultiThreading; Approaches
Hi Guys, I need to run an expensive computation in the background ( 2 seconds on a modern day laptop ) while keeping the UI responsive. For this matter I have tried creating a secondary application and communicate with it in a non-blocking way. I share my thoughts so far to see if anyone can help with this one. First, some approaches to create a secondary application: * Load a module at runtime * Publish a module from within a new Frame ( Gonzalez/Harui trick ) * Open another SWF altogether ( seems the safest best bet to me ) Some approaches to communicate between apps: * LocalConnection ( sync ) * Write/Poll a LSO ( async ) And to go from blocking to non-blocking communication ( maybe ) * Upon receiving a call start a timer and listen for the completion event. This should make the call return while leaving it up to events to start the real processing. Now, I haven't tried every combination yet, but so far I found some interesting results: I created two separate applications that talk through a LocalConnection. They use the timer trick ( upon receiving a call they set up a very short internal timer that will eventually start internal execution of the code ). If I open both SWFs in IE they effectively work as expected. I can start a very heavy computation on the secondary app while the first remains totally responsive to user events. Then I can make a reverse call and pass the results back. So far so good :) Firefox, however, is a show killer. No matter how I open the two apps ( tabs, apps, etc ) blocking occurs. Can someone from the flash player shed some light on this? This is not real multi-threading, it is simpler in the sense that I don't need synchronization. The contract is passing an input and waiting for a result. Now, even if I managed to pull this off with parallel applications... how would I materialize that setup in AIR?

Notice how the optimized renderer does not use layout containers such as

In general you want to make your renderers as light weight as possible.

[flexcoders] Re: Performance Impact when using custom item renderer
Hi Scott,
Thanks for your post. But I'm on flex 2 now so the
AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer is not available to me. Also, in terms
of keeping the item renderer as light weight as possible, my item
renderer is just a TextInput and I change its background color by
calling this.styleName = ErrorCell where ErrorCell is defined in
my stylesheet. But even if I comment all this out, have my item
renderer just to renderer the text, I'm still seeing a considerable
performance hit just by using custom item renderers on all the columns
of my datagrid. Is this a limitation in flex that we must trade off
performance for using custom renderers heavily?? Thanks.
