[flexcoders] Re: Managing States and Cairngorm
Hi Seb,
Thanks for the reply, I like you idea, it makes sense. If I create an
event which is fired during start up a I can in theory reuse the same
event in the menu I'm creating. All it will be doing is passing the
name of the state to change to.
One thing I will do is when the event is fired during start up I won't
pass a value for the state name, then in my Command I can check for
this value and as it doesn't exist I can call the default state
(Login). Do you think this is a good idea?

Cairngorm, the problem is ... this is not really a best a idea. You
need to
create an Event, then put the desired state string into the event
(where to
get this string from?), dispatch event, register in front
controller, create
a command and in command get the data from event and change the
model value
accordingly. This does not seem like bad, if you just manage single
state.
Now imagine that you use components and they have their own states.
What's
more, you would probably want to react on higher level on a state
broadcaster down below. You need to create as many events/commands
as the
amount of your components, and what's more : you're inevitably
coupling them
with cairngorm.
My blueprint would be to have each component managing its own state
in his
as code. State is bound to component the same way you've described (by
currentState). Each component has method changeState and probably
exports
static strings with state names. When the state is changed from
within the
component, the basic flash event is broadcasted, and you react to it
on the
level (container) that holds this component as child.
Probably a bit way off your question, anyway :P Generally, for your
needs,
the solution you presented feels valid to me.

Subject: [flexcoders] Managing States and Cairngorm
Hi,
I'm building a new app using Cairgorm and one of the problems I'm
having is managing states.
My application is set up with a base state which is blank and then two
other states, one which contains my login screen (called Login) and
one which contains the main menu (called MainApp). Then all my other
states are based on the state called MainApp so that they all contain
the main menu.
Now when my application starts it should go to the Login state, then
after logging in the system will load the Welcome state, which is
based on the MainApp state. So to change between states in my
Application tag I have set currentState like this:
currentState={model.workflowState}
When my application first starts it should load the Login state as
default, I set the model.workflowState variable as:
public var workflowState:String = Login;
Will I be able to update the model.workflowState? The way I am
thinking of doing this is by having an event on all the menu buttons
which changes model.workflowState to the value of the state, for
example if the user clicks on the Welcome button, model.workflowState
is set as Welcome.
Now is this a good way to manage states in a Cairngorm application,
I'm trying to achieve 2 things, one only have one main menu which is
used in all states, and two use binding to select the current state.
Is there another way I could do this?
Thanks
Stephen

Use the argument passed to the event handler, that's what it's for.
currentTarget should give you what you need.

Re: [flexcoders] getDefinitionByName and gotoAndPlay
That's close to the truth, I think. As a colleague of mine pointed out, objects on frame1 were already initialized before the constructor is executed while objects on another frame need some time (usually 1 frame) to become initialized as well. So my solution will be to avoid gotoAndStops as much I can and work with single frame symbols. Matthias 2007/11/21, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm pretty sure that gotoandplay just advances the playhead and doesn't execute the script on that frame until your script finishes so the widgets it creates won't be ready right after the call. -- *From:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Matthias Dittgen *Sent:* Wednesday, November 21, 2007 8:13 AM *To:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com *Subject:* [flexcoders] getDefinitionByName and gotoAndPlay Hello, I am loading a SWF into my application, which I created in FlashCS3.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Managing States and Cairngorm
Not really, unless you can give yourself a good explanation, why you don't want to pass the value. The default logic for this behavior is a bit too complicated (if, then). I assume your app is small, but as it grows, you might be confused what's going on, since there is no clear explanation in code, that you are switching to Login state. If your Login state is the default one (starting), remember that you can always refer to it as . Create a final string APP_DEFAULT_LOGIN_STATE = and use this constant even on start - this way you will know what is going on, and there is no need to create additional check in command's logic. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of stephen50232 Sent: Thursday, November 22, 2007 10:26 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Managing States and Cairngorm Hi Seb, Thanks for the reply, I like you idea, it makes sense.

RE: [flexcoders] Resources included in SWC library
I've read about maybe needing to use -include-file but does that mean
we need
to manually create the compile line to include every resource and

It's not quite as bad as that (though to be honest, compc needs to be
made a lot more user friendly, not everyone uses Flex builder!)
You can get away with compiling everything in a directory, so you just
need to be careful what you include, here's an example of what we use.
The mappers creates the list of files, which then gets fed into the
compc task.
Hope this helps.

[flexcoders] Standard list sufficient or custom from ground up?
Hi! I need to have some pretty unusual behavior in a list and being fairly with flex I'm not quite sure of the standard components abilities, so far I haven't found what I'm looking for. Here are the requirements: A number of different item renderers, only one pr list though. All cells/item have same size. Never show partial items neither horizontal/vertical Ability to say one of the following: NOSCROLL, HSCROLL, VSCROLL or specific limit on the amount of items in the list. NOSCROLL also gives the option of the last item being replaced by [CLICK FOR MORE] item No scrollbars should be visible, if scroll is available it will be handled by buttons elsewhere The list is not of fixed size and should always be filled with items meaning the tiles/cells needs to fill the available screen real estate, except if the number of items is below the amount the list has room for. BIG lists potentially 1s of items, and although I assume the item renderer recycling is not completely in the woods I assume that one could do an even better job if it was specific for a component this specialized. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated,,, -Allan

Re: [flexcoders] Accessing Components By Dynamically generated IDs
I think you should be able to constuct the id something like this:

I assume you know the number of boxes you create.

In case anyone wonders this is my quick and 'easy' workaround (here in

The currency formatter has the currency symbol deliberately suppressed.
// DataGrid Column labelFunction (using a currency formatter called
'valueFormat').

return (Math.abs(Number(item.XXX))=

Subject: [flexcoders] numeric formatters - a small gripe
OK, I can always get around this stuff by writing my own formatter or
extending an existing one, but I naively expect the number and currency
formatters (say precision 2), to format 0.23 as 0.23 rather than
.23.
Similarly I expect -0.23 to be formatted as -0.23 and not return
-.23.
I know there's ways round this, but I find this formatting default odd.
Even
if it were popular in some quarters (is it?), I'd at least expect the
classes supplied by Adobe to allow the choice of having the formatter
generate that leading 0 or not.
Is it just me that finds this odd? Am I right to expect that zero in front
of the decimal point?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Managing States and Cairngorm
my opinions: 1) Use Flex states for components. Use viewstacks to manage the application. Easy to bind the selectedIndex on your viewstack to a bindable var in your model. 2) Which framework to use for this is a discussion for a different thread, it really doesn't pertain to the topic. DK On Nov 22, 2007 8:31 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Seb, Thanks, I've now created a static const in my ModelLocator class which , is called APP_DEFAULT_STATE, which I'm using to load in the Application.currentState. So now I can switch between states fine, thanks. One question though is Cairngorm good with managing states or is it better suited to using the viewstack to manage how an application looks? This is hard question. Cairngorm per se don't really force you into any particular solution, though creators advocate binding to data model as often as you can. This may be perceived as either good and bad. For me it's a bad smell since it changes your application into great confusing state machine. I'm not sure I'm right but I think they've used ViewStack, since it view can bind directly to model data. It seems like either they forget about the currentState property and the ability to bind, or have a good reason no to do that.

[flexcoders] HttpService not called the first time
Hi, Components A and B are inside Panels of a ViewStack; they're accessed via a TabBar. I define an HttpService within component A. I call A.HttpService from an action in component B.

[flexcoders] Making a component 'hop' between containers
OK, I'm being lazy and asking for the best approach to this before I give it a go. I have a custom component based on a canvas. Inside the component is a panel. Inside the panel is a controlBar. In the main application I have the custom component (CompA). I want to add another custom component (CompB) inside the controlBar of the custom component (CompA). It seems to me I have three choices: 1) Copy the custom component (CompA) and make a variation of it (CompC) with the controlBar populated with CompB (this is probably the path of least resistance), 2) Use actionscript to add CompB to the controlBar of CompA dynamically - very doable 3) Add the CompB in mxml between the tags for CompA. By default this would give me CompB inside CompA, but it won't be in the controlBar. I could then add some actionscript to the CompB (or perhaps even CompA) to move CompB into the controlBar of CompA. If the custom component were derived from a panel, rather than a canvas, there wouldn't be a problem. So, what's the best approach to make CompB hop from the canvas of CompA into the controlBar inside the panel of CompA? I might just go with 1), but it's interesting to consider 3) What a pity we can't extend custom components in mxml.. Paul
[flexcoders] Extending RichTextEditor

I want a basic HTML editor that will allow me to style and lay out fairly simple text as content for webpages. I want to be able to add images, re-size them and to be able to add heading tags. I think I can fake the heading tags by extending the Existing Rich Text editor and simply appling a large font and a font weight of bold to text in the internal html text. the get htmlText would re-convert this to a h1 tag. For the images I would ideally like to be able to select an image in teh text field then edit the alt, width, height ect. To do this I need to be able to get at the images within the field. Does anyone know how I can do this? I've looked at the children of the textArea and so on but no sign of any images. It seems ridiculous that Adobe provide such a poor implentation of this very useful tool. It's also odd that no one has provided a good alternative yet. Thanks Giles.

If you set it to all, all child controls will be created up-front (which can be expensive, if you have many that are complex). See: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/mx/core/Container.html#creationPolicy --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, gers32 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Components A and B are inside Panels of a ViewStack; they're accessed via a TabBar. I define an HttpService within component A. I call A.HttpService from an action in component B. When I perform the action in component B, A.HttpService will only get called if I have PREVIOUSLY visited A... And to top it all off, A.creationComplete() doesn't get fired either when I visit it, unless I have PREVIOUSLY performed the action in B ! My problem seems to stem from the order in which these components get initialized, but this behavior doesn't make sense to me. Thanks for your help, Chris.
Re: [flexcoders] Extending RichTextEditor
Well at least Adobe provide something :) They can't make very complex RTE because it is too complicated and people usually want customized components to suit their needs. Feel free to extend it or make your own from scratch and don't forget to share it :) Adnan Giles Roadnight wrote: Hi All I know that Rich Text editor has bene brought up a load of times but there still doesn't seem to be any decent solution. I want a basic HTML editor that will allow me to style and lay out fairly simple text as content for webpages. I want to be able to add images, re-size them and to be able to add heading tags. I think I can fake the heading tags by extending the Existing Rich Text editor and simply appling a large font and a font weight of bold to text in the internal html text. the get htmlText would re-convert this to a h1 tag. For the images I would ideally like to be able to select an image in teh text field then edit the alt, width, height ect. To do this I need to be able to get at the images within the field. Does anyone know how I can do this? I've looked at the children of the textArea and so on but no sign of any images. It seems ridiculous that Adobe provide such a poor implentation of this very useful tool. It's also odd that no one has provided a good alternative yet. Thanks Giles.
[flexcoders] Bug in rich text editor invalidate the html text
This problem is not really bug, but semantic problem i html text generated by this comp. The font size html tag generated by rte use 10 and in flex its ok but in html text go huge, why adobe don't change to style:font-size or use size in pixel?

I have a custom component based on a canvas. Inside the component is a panel. Inside the panel is a controlBar. In the main application I have the custom component (CompA). I want to add another custom component (CompB) inside the controlBar of the custom component (CompA). It seems to me I have three choices: 1) Copy the custom component (CompA) and make a variation of it (CompC) with the controlBar populated with CompB (this is probably the path of least resistance), 2) Use actionscript to add CompB to the controlBar of CompA dynamically - very doable Well, the more I think about it, option 3 (my original question) is pretty pointless, since option 2 is so easy. 3) Add the CompB in mxml between the tags for CompA. By default this would give me CompB inside CompA, but it won't be in the controlBar. I could then add some actionscript to the CompB (or perhaps even CompA) to move CompB into the controlBar of CompA. So, the hopping of components between containers, is shelved. Paul

[flexcoders] Re: radioButton label colour via AS3?
Color is actually a style so its idname.setStyle(color, 0xFF); HTH, Ben --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, candysmate [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I can set the colour of a radioButton's label with color = #ff in mxml, but when I try to use the idname.color = #ff; in AS3 Flex 2.01 throws an undefined property error. How can I change the radioButton label text colour via AS3 please?
[flexcoders] Re: HttpService not called the first time
Thank you so much Per, I set creationPolicy=all on the ViewStack and it immediately solved my problem. Cheers, Chris. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, per.olesen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Maybe you should try setting creationPolicy=all on your TabBar. By default, it first creates the child components when someone tabs into it. If you set it to all, all child controls will be created up-front (which can be expensive, if you have many that are complex). See: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/mx/core/Container.html#creationPolicy --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, gers32 cbu@ wrote: Hi, Components A and B are inside Panels of a ViewStack; they're accessed via a TabBar. I define an HttpService within component A. I call A.HttpService from an action in component B. When I perform the action in component B, A.HttpService will only get called if I have PREVIOUSLY visited A... And to top it all off, A.creationComplete() doesn't get fired either when I visit it, unless I have PREVIOUSLY performed the action in B ! My problem seems to stem from the order in which these components get initialized, but this behavior doesn't make sense to me. Thanks for your help, Chris.
