[flexcoders] Animated PNG
I fully realize there may be patent issues with Adobe using animated GIF. However, what about Animated PNG? I've considered this subject for some time, and I am concerned that Adobe is withholding a great potential improvement in Flash to benefit FLV. I maybe completely wrong -- but that is why I'm posing the question. Lossless reduced color spaces have a great potential benefit to the web. It would be Adobe's free choice whether to include it or not -- but then again, we are free to dump any platform that is overly zealous when it comes to the economics of supply. -r - Be a better sports nut!

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm - what's you best practice on handling inital data from the server ?
Hi Tom, Thanks, I think your addition will help me too, yet, I think you refer to another issue which is whther the TabBar can accept user interaction, which is an issue I havn't take care of yet. I could leverage the model.doneStartUp flag to start manipulating the view data, but I think when initializing a view component properties, it is more intuitive to first try binding the component to a specific function or property from the model or an helper function, this is a matter of personal taste, but also can help initializing components while configuration data is being retrieved from the server: For example, if my app needs to get 10 configuration files that needs to be loaded before the user can start interaction, I'll show him a modal screen showing the process, but for the sake not delaying the user after the services were loaded by initializing complex component with the retrieved data, the binding can cause the components to initialize before all the services were loaded.

I saw something similar with the AdvancedDataGrid after upgrading. In

that needed to be added to the project (datavisualization_rb.swc)... My

Hi,
If anyone could help me with this I'd appreciate it. FYI, I've used the
fds-tomcat.zip testdrive sample app to code this. I am new to everything
(MySQL, Java, Hibernate, Flex 2, LCDS, you-name-it) however many years
developing C and early web apps, so I'm now playing catch up. Please bear
with me.
Here's the facts:
1) My custom service generates a userid and inserts the record into my User
table successfully. From my UserService.java:
...
Statement s = c.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()); // unique userid
rs.next();
user.setUserid(rs.getInt(1));
// System.out.println(user.setUserid + user.getUserid() + .); -- this
value is correctly displayed
...
The println displays the userid I want to use in my client properly, but the
client never seems to get it. The ItemReference in my client code does not
display the same userid, it always displays 0. Debugger shows all the
correct values for the insert populated in the ItemReference, but not the
userid. It's always set to zero. Here is my client code:
...
import mx.data.ItemReference;
import classes.tfdao.User;
private function handleRegister(event:Event):void {
var dsuserDAO:DataService = new DataService (UserDAO);
var user:User = new User();
user.firstname = this.firstname.text;
user.lastname = this.lastname.text;
user.lastmoddate = new Date();
var userIR:ItemReference = dsuserDAO.createItem(user);
var dsaddressDAO:DataService = new DataService(AddressDAO);
var address:Address = new Address();
// address.userid = userIR.userid I know this won't work but how do I
get the correct value
address.addressid = null;
address.addresstypeid = 1; //hardcoded for now
address.address1 = this.address1.text;
address.address2 = this.address2.text;
// yada yada ...
var addressIR:ItemReference = dsaddressDAO.createItem(address);
this.currentState = registerSuccess;
}
2) How do I reference the generated userid? I thought it should be in the
Item Reference, but debugger shows value as Zero. I must have missed
something -- but I am stumped!
Thanks!

[flexcoders] dataGrid cellRenderer and PropertyChangeEvent
Hello,
I have added a combobox cellRenderer to an editable datagrid like in
this example. I use the propertyChangeEvent of the ObjectProxies array
passed as dataprovider to update the data change, but for the combobox,
the event seems not triggered.
I think it's because the value of the comboBox is changed
programmatically, and have tried to simulate an event like :
public function onChange():void
{
var index:int = editor.selectedIndex;
result = uint( dpValue[index].data );
//dispatch an event to alert the update
editor.dispatchEvent( PropertyChangeEvent.createUpdateEvent(
dpValue[index],
refid,
null,
result
) );
}
but the result is the same, event is not triggered and the value is not
updated.
Any idea about the way to have a correct update ?
Thanks in advance

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Launching 0% - Flex Builder 2 will not launch
I don't use IIS, so...I'll walk through the process I'd walk through... I presume that since you can load it in a browser, that the URI is something like: http://localhost/flex/application.mxml (or html) [e.g. you know or are sure the context root and doc type are appropriately configured in IIS ] Can you open the application from the output folder of the project (file wise) in a browser through FB2? [e.g. the file is loadable by FB2 as a File in a browser as opposed to being served] Have you looked at the web log for access information, is the output folder for the project in the IIS web path and appropriately off the defined context root ?

[flexcoders] How to tell what type the object is
I have a VO object with a fill(xml:XML) method. I have it working fine except for one place. My VO has a var beginDate : Date = null; property. Problem is that when I am looping through the xml is need to: // Say prop = beginDate at this point in the loop if ( this[prop] is Date ) This returns false because beginDate is null. If I change the declaration to var beginDate : Date = new Date(); it works fine, but this field can be null by design. So, how can I determine the type of object it is when it is null? In Java, the instanceof would still work just fine. Thanks, Dale

Should have mentioned a couple of quick cheats in case you have not

1) Put the label in the column next to the image
2) Just show the image and set the data tip for the column to be the

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Performance Impact when using custom item renderer
Check out CenteredCheckBox on Alex's blog (assuming you want it
centered, otherwise just use CheckBox). I think Alex's blog also has
something for a centered image which should be easily adaptable to add
the text next to it (if it doesn't already support it). You can contact
me off list if you want help with the image one.

[flexcoders] Re: Where is the Debugger or Profiler?
This happens if you are running the debug version of the player and launch the debug version of the html wrapper, but didn't launch your swf from flex player in debug mode. For example, if you just access access the URL for the -debug html wrapper directly in a browser you'll get this popup. The solution is to either launch from flex builder if you intend to debug, or access the non-debug html wrapper. You might check you Eclipse launch configurations to make sure that they are pointing to the right html wrappers. __ Josh Vanderberg - http://vanderblog.typepad.com --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tim Ashworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, Not a major one this, but I keep getting the Where is the Debugger or profiler running? alert when I run my app. I've got a development machine running CF8 as a standalone and Apache 2.0.

[flexcoders] Air/Flex App With Barcode Reader
Hello, I am just doing research and need some input. We would like to make an Air/Flex app that when you scan in a barcode you get product details from a database that CF is serving out. The barcode scanner works like a key board and at the end of a scan I can have it send a carriage return. I don't want the user to have to put focus on a text input field then scan the barcode to get a result. I want them so that any keyboard entry from the scanner will always pull up product details upon the carriage return. It does not matter what section of the Appliction they are in. If text entry is present from the barcode scanner then I want to return product details from the database. Has anyone built an app that works with a barcode reader in this way? Any quick code suggestions on capturing the text input from the barcode reader? Thanks!

[flexcoders] LiveCycle with multiple data services failing...
Hi, I have a strange problem - hopefully someone might be able to figure out what's wrong... First, I'm using Flex 3 beta (Eclipse 3.2+WTP1.5), LiveCycle 2.5, JBoss 4.02. So here's what I do... I use the Flex 3 'create application from database' (if you've not used it yourself, don't give up on me - the problem is almost certainly unrelated to this step!) to create a flex 3 livecycle app from the wizard. This runs fine! I then run it again, against a different table. Again, the second app is fine. But when I try to combine the two applications (obviously renaming variables on both sides to avoid a clash), one of the dataservices runs absolutely fine but when I try to use the other, I get: 'Destination 'SIM_USER_REPORT_PAGESJava' either does not exist or the destination has no channels defined (and the application does not define any default channels.)' But this destination is defined in the same data-management-config.xml as the one that is working - and they're both using the same channel - so I know that channel both exists and works! Any ideas why the second service won't work when combined with the first? I've listed the data-management-config.xml below in case it helps... Thanks, Jamie. ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? service id=data-service class=flex.data.DataService adapters adapter-definition id=actionscript class=flex.data.adapters.ASObjectAdapter default=true/ adapter-definition id=java-dao class=flex.data.adapters.JavaAdapter/ /adapters default-channels channel ref=my-rtmp/ /default-channels destination id=SIM_USER_REPORTSJava adapter ref=java-dao/ properties use-transactionstrue/use-transactions sourcecom.db.storage.dao.SIM_USER_REPORTSAssembler/source scopeapplication/scope cache-itemsfalse/cache-items metadata identity property=REPORT_ID/ /metadata network session-timeout0/session-timeout paging enabled=false pageSize=5/ throttle-inbound max-frequency=500 policy=ERROR/ throttle-outbound max-frequency=500 policy=REPLACE/ /network /properties /destination destination id=SIM_USER_REPORT_PAGESJava adapter ref=java-dao/ properties use-transactionstrue/use-transactions sourcecom.db.storage.dao.SIM_USER_REPORT_PAGESAssembler/source scopeapplication/scope cache-itemsfalse/cache-items metadata identity property=REPORT_ID/ /metadata network session-timeout0/session-timeout paging enabled=false pageSize=5/ throttle-inbound max-frequency=500 policy=ERROR/ throttle-outbound max-frequency=500 policy=REPLACE/ /network /properties /destination /service
Re: SPAM-LOW: [flexcoders] Air/Flex App With Barcode Reader
I've done something similar, although not with a Flex Application. The bar code data will go to the element that has focus. I'm not sure how you are defining sections of the application. But you'll either need to make sure that every focusable element will respond to the bar code input (not practical) or force the users to select the bar code input field before scanning.

Re: SPAM-LOW: [flexcoders] Re: Air/Flex App With Barcode Reader
Conceptually this sounds good. However, I would expect this method
would be non-intuitive to users.
Containers will not broadcast keyboard events on their own, so the
user must have have given focus to a component that will broadcast the
keyboard events. I believe there are a lot of situations, such as
changing the selectedIndex of a ViewStack or tabbing through a
TabNavigator where nothing will be given focus and the bar code scan
would be ignored.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Animated overSkin (how to use more than one frame of a symbol)
Hi Juan, I've had a look at the example and I've got it working. But myself and my designer are struggling to get the over state working when the overstate is larger than the normal state. e.g. If you had a button that normally looks like this: |--| |--| In the over state I want it to expand (with animation) to be like this: || | | || Do you know how this can be done? The example works great when the symbols are the same size, but my designer is struggling when it's got to animate larger. Any tips greatly appreciated.

Does anything other than the size change with the state change? Because you could just animate the height and width property of the component on MouseOver event.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Animated overSkin (how to use more than one frame of a symbol)
I think it's just the width / height that changes, but I was looking for a solution which could be incorporated into the actual skin for the button (as opposed to having a developer write a transition for any buttons that the designer decides will change size).

RE: SPAM-LOW: [flexcoders] Re: Air/Flex App With Barcode Reader
I guess I should not have used the term Section of the app.
The app is standalone and it's only purpose is there to spit back data about
the product entered via the barcode scanner.
I don't want the user to have to click on anything. They scan and they get
back data. The only focus I suppose will be the Air application itself. That
will have to have focus out of other applications running on the computers
desktop.
Thanks for the feedback!
Once I get this more into the proof of concept range I will try out the code.
Now maybe once this app gets toss around some more. There will be the need to
scan the barcode, display the data, then alter the data and submit it back to
CF, but for right now that is not the case.

If anyone could help me with this I'd appreciate it!

user.setUserid(rs.getInt(1));

this prints the new unique id correctly
...
The println displays the userid I want to use later on properly, but
the client never seems to see it. The ItemReference in my client
code (below) does not display the same userid as server generated, it
always displays 0. For example, debugger shows all the values for the

passed as dataprovider to update the data change, but for the combobox,
the event seems not triggered.
I think it's because the value of the comboBox is changed
programmatically, and have tried to simulate an event like :
public function onChange():void
{
var index:int = editor.selectedIndex;
result = uint( dpValue[index].data );
//dispatch an event to alert the update
editor.dispatchEvent( PropertyChangeEvent.createUpdateEvent(
dpValue[index],
refid,
null,
result
) );
}
but the result is the same, event is not triggered and the value is not
updated.
Any idea about the way to have a correct update ?

Re: SPAM-LOW: [flexcoders] Re: Air/Flex App With Barcode Reader
In that case, I think you'll have a lot of success w/ Flex or AIR for
this. Just have a textInput field to capture data. You can give it
focus in code using creationComplete; and you can write code to throw
focus back to the input field in case it loses focus.
Josh's explanation of listening for the keydown is probably spot on
with what you have to do. The trick will be figuring out whether the
keydown will launch with each character in the bar code or only after (
Or since this isn't a keyboard input, whether or not the scan will
trigger it at all ).
Chad Gray wrote:
I guess I should not have used the term Section of the app.
The app is standalone and it's only purpose is there to spit back data

I don't want the user to have to click on anything. They scan and they
get back data. The only focus I suppose will be the Air application
itself. That will have to have focus out of other applications running
on the computers desktop.
Thanks for the feedback!
Once I get this more into the proof of concept range I will try out the
code.
Now maybe once this app gets toss around some more. There will be the
need to scan the barcode, display the data, then alter the data and
submit it back to CF, but for right now that is not the case.

Conceptually this sounds good. However, I would expect this method
would be non-intuitive to users.
Containers will not broadcast keyboard events on their own, so the
user must have have given focus to a component that will broadcast the
keyboard events. I believe there are a lot of situations, such as
changing the selectedIndex of a ViewStack or tabbing through a
TabNavigator where nothing will be given focus and the bar code scan
would be ignored.

Hello,

We would like to make an Air/Flex app that when you scan in a

The barcode scanner works like a key board and at the end of a scan
I can have it send a carriage return. I don't want the user to have
to put focus on a text input field then scan the barcode to get a
result. I want them so that any keyboard entry from the scanner will
always pull up product details upon the carriage return.
It does not matter what section of the Appliction they are in. If
text entry is present from the barcode scanner then I want to return
product details from the database.
Has anyone built an app that works with a barcode reader in this way?
Any quick code suggestions on capturing the text input from the
barcode reader?
Thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: Performance Impact when using custom item renderer
Hi Scott,
Somewhere in my code, I'm setting up the configuration of all the
columns, and I'm doing something like this:
var ignoreColumnConfig:ColumnConfig = new
ColumnConfig;
ignoreColumnConfig.dataField = ignore;
ignoreColumnConfig.headerText = Ignore;
ignoreColumnConfig.editable = false;
ignoreColumnConfig.itemRenderer = new
ClassFactory(CenteredCheckBoxItemRenderer);
ignoreColumnConfig.headerRenderer = new
ClassFactory(CheckedBoxHeaderRenderer);
columnConfigs.push(ignoreColumnConfig);
var dynamicGrid:DynamicDataGrid = new
DynamicDataGrid
dynamicGrid.columnsConfig = columnConfigs;
Then in my custom datagrid class, I'm constructing the data grid columns
as follow:
public function set columnsConfig(value:Array):void
{
_columnsConfig = value;
var columnArray:Array = new Array();
for each (var config:ColumnConfig in _columnsConfig)
{
var newColumn:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn;
newColumn.headerText = config.headerText;
newColumn.dataField = config.dataField;
newColumn.editable = config.editable;
if(_columnFilterEnabled)
{
var headerRendererClassFactory:ClassFactory;
headerRendererClassFactory = config.headerRenderer;
newColumn.headerRenderer =
headerRendererClassFactory;
}
if(config.itemRenderer!=null)
{
newColumn.itemRenderer = config.itemRenderer;
}
columnArray.push(newColumn);
}
this.columns = columnArray;
}
I'm not sure how to post this code snippet in a code block. I apologize
if it's hard to read. Thanks a lot for your help.

RE: [flexcoders] Error: Repeater is not executing.

First you are not doing the repeater quite right. Try this:
mx:Repeater dataProvider={_main._newss} id=newsRepeater
mx:Label text={newsRepeater.currentItem.myProperty}/
/mx:Repeater
The currentItem propeerty already holds a reference to the dataProvider
item that is generating the current repeater instance.
Second, the Label needs a text value, which will be one of the
properties on your dataProvider item objects.

[flexcoders] Problem with TileLIst RowCount
After adding a tilelist using addchild, I'm trying to resize it's container, a canvas, to fit the tilelist based on the rowcount * rowheight. Strangely it always return rowCount = 2 - even though there is 1 or 3 rows ? How can I force a recount ?? Or is there another way to get the actual size of the content of the tileList. The problem is that I dont know the number of items that the tilelist will display, or how many tilelists there will be. So I need to be able to dynamically resize the container. The tilelist dont have a rowCount property set explicitly, percentheight=100. Hope that someone else has solved this issue. Thanks for your help. Mark

Re: [flexcoders] Is Flex the right framework for an online dictionary?
Dominic: As a side node, there is no reason you can't use both Flex and HTML. Write your application in Flex with all of the bells and whistles, but then display the HTML markup in an iFrame inside the Flex app. Here is an example of how to do it: http://www.deitte.com/IFrameDemo3/IFrameDemo.html Right click for source. Hope that gives you an alternate. FYI, Flex does provide some basic HTML markup in their controls, but for what you are doing I would either look for a custom component (of which I know there are some out there) or write something custom.

SPAM-LOW: [flexcoders] Re: Air/Flex App With Barcode Reader
If you call addEventListener with useCapture=true, the listener will
trap events that don't usually bubble. I've verified that it works
even when the focus is on a tab bar.
The one issue is that after the application starts *nothing* has focus
- but once you click on anything, even a component that doesn't
normally respond to keyboard events, the centralized listener will
start getting key events.

[flexcoders] When are scrollbars added? question on timing of initial rendering
I have a Canvas object that I am dynamically adding images to in a method that is called via Application.creationComplete(). Sometimes the addition of these images results in clipping and the creation of scrollbars, so I'm checking the position of a certain image to see if it's in the viewable area. However, it seems like the scrollbars have not yet been added to the canvas at the time I am checking for them, which is immediately after I've added the images. I'm assuming it's some kind of rendering timing issue, like I'm still within the method stack so it doesn't render the canvas with the new objects yet. Is there a way to force the scrollbars to be added?

What exactly do you want to use the DLL for? That might help us find you a solution that would work with Flex. :) I'm not sure what you are looking to do whether it is to use multi-touch (using your fingers to navigate) with Flex, or to access the UNIX command, finger.

Re: SPAM-LOW: [flexcoders] Re: Air/Flex App With Barcode Reader
I've never tried that userCapture=true approach.
I was trying to create a full screen app w/ AIR and tried a very
similar approach to what you describe to prevent users from escaping out
of the app.
The keyboard events would never get caught until something got focus,
making it very easy for the user to escape out of the application.
Obviously the bar code use case is very different, and you probably
won't run into the problem I ran into.
