Well, you can file an enhancement request suggesting those changes.  It
won't make 3.0, and I'm not sure it is "common enough" to get into 4.0.
In the same way I offer several DataGridColumn subclasses on my blog,
you could certainly contribute to the community by offering a
NullDataGridColumn featuring those capabilities.

 

Subclassing DataGridColumn to have a default generic sortCompareFunction
would be my recommendation for a solution today as well.  If the
sortCompareFunction points to a method on your subclass, your 'this'
pointer is the column and you can pull information from the column to
pull the right data from the rows.

values, I think

 

I agree that you cannot tell what type of data a null is. 

The sort routine(s) has no problem sorting nulls when the non-null 
data is string. It also works for completely null columns. 

I think a reasonable solution would be a new column 
attribute, "sortDataType" (values: ascii, number, date) for datagrid 
columns. If you wanted to go crazy, add another 
attribute, "nullCollateOrder" (values: low, high). Modifying the 
existing sort routines to handle nulls should be fairly trivial. This 
may improve performance for columns where these attributes are 
specified since the routine doesn't need to read data to determine 
the type of sort to perform.

A different approach might be an attribute nvl(value), where any 
nulls would be converted to the value specified. Examples might be nvl
(0), nvl(9), nvl(01/01/0001), or nvl(12/31/5600)

I realize I must deal with the here and now, so how would you write a 
generic function to hande this? 

It is my understanding that the sortCompareFunction wants a function 
like mySort(obj1:Object,obj2:Object). obj1 and obj2 are two objects 
that represent two rows, and to access the column to compare you need 
to know the property such as obj1.myDate, or obj[4]. In order to 
write a generic routine I need to know know what column has been 
clicked.

[flexcoders] If Flex is open source, how do we go about changing the language?

[aceoohay]

I just ran across what I consider a significant deficiency in Flex. 
To correct this problem would require an addition of two attributes 
to the mx:DataGridColumn class.

I could make a change to my version of the language, or perhaps I 
could create an inherited class. However, I feel strongly that the 
problem is so fundamental that it should be changed in the language. 
How do I go about making this happen?

The problem is this;

It appears that when sorting a DataGrid by clicking a column that 
Flex currently does its best to determine the data type and sorts 
based on that data type. The problem is that it gets confused when 
there are nulls in date, numeric, or boolean fields. When it gets 
confused it ralph's on its shoes (blows up). Based on my research, 
including reading a bit of the file sortField.as, this is by design.

There is a way around it but it requires instantiating a compare 
function for each column that might get a null, and might be one of 
non string data types. The workaround is to create a function, and 
use the "sortCompareFunction" attribute to call a that function. 
There is even a kludgier workaround to make the function generic by 
using the "headerRelease" attribute of the DataGrid to update a 
public variable with the column number.

Since it seems as though this is an ubiquitous problem, it should be 
solved in the language itself. The best approach that I came up with 
is to have two new attributes for the mx:DataGridColumn;

sortDataType - Basically specify the type of data contained in the 
column that would be honored by the sort routine irrespective of the 
values contained in the column. Values would be any valid data type.

sortNullCollatingSequence - This would define whether nulls get 
sorted to the top or bottom of the list. Values would be low - which 
would indicate that nulls would sort lower than the lowest normal 
value, and high - which would indicate that nulls would sort higher 
than the highest normal value.

This is one possible solution, there may be better ones but in my 
opinion the current method should be improved. I would like to see it 
implemented quickly as I believe it is a serious problem.

How do I go about getting this taken seriously, and not assigned 
an "enhancement request number" and never looked at again?

[flexcoders] Application without MXML: Is it possible?

[Dave Glasser]

I'm trying to create an Application in pure Actionscript, by subclassing 
mx.core.Application, and when I run it I get:
   
  TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object 
reference.
 at 
mx.core::UIComponent/getStyle()[C:\dev\flex_201_ja\sdk\frameworks\mx\core\UIComponent.as:7095]
  ...etc.
   
  The source file is basically an empty shell, with nothing but a constructor 
that calls super(). I'm not adding any children or setting any properties. It's 
not in the top-level package, if that makes any difference.
   
  Is what I'm trying to do impossible, at least without adding some amount of 
setup code that is normally generated by the MXML preprocessor and isn't 
documented anywhere?

The thumb is centered, and it's two halves hang over the track bar at
0 and at the maximum.

This is normal and looks great, but I want my thumb to be in the

edges of the thumb should be flush with the edges of the track

Is there a solution for this? I'm trying really hard but it's getting
hacky, and I'm using mx_internal, and even that approach isn't working.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Sorting problem on date and numbers with null values, I think

[Alex Harui]

because null can be assigned to anything is does not have a "type" so we
can't tell by examining the data if you want to sort by date, number,
etc.
 
Where do you want nulls to appear in a sort?  Could go anywhere right?
That's why you'll have to write your own compare function with the null
handling rules you want.
 
I haven't tried writing a generic compare function, but I don't see why
it wouldn't be possible.

The data is fully populated at the time the column header is 
clicked. However some of the cells are null.

We certainly disagree on this:-) 

Since a null is a valid result for all data types, it seems to me 
that any sort algorithm should handle the universe of valid data 
elements for that type. 

Additionally there appears to be no way to write a generic 
sortCompareFunction handler that will handle any column from any 
datagrid. If this is true then the developer needs to decide what 
type of data is being stored in each column, can nulls ever exist in 
this column and then write a custom sort routine for that column.

If in fact Flex cannot sort columns with nulls, and every column 
that could contain a null requires the developer to write a separate 
custom sort handler, I think that "serious shortcoming" is a polite 
way of stating the issue.

Is there a way of working around this "feature?"

We use them.  The enumeration is a restriction and Flex ignores it, so you'll

work.  How about when you do your send(), you verify scrmurl has the
string in it?



You might also try a different style of binding/assignment:

url= "{scrmurl + 'xmlrpc/request.php'}"

scrmurl isn't a dynamic property.. it's declared at compile time

You won't be able to {bind} to dynamically created properties
easily.  There may be a way to set up a binding using AS, not sure.  

You could just set the url directly in initApp().

Subject: [flexcoders] Registering flashvar variables properly?

Hi,

   I'm busting my head against the wall on this one, I have to
say that Flex is pretty frustrating when you otherwise code C++ or Java
by trade.

   Poking around, I have found how to pass variables into Flex
apps using flashvars.  If I check the Application.application.parameters
value, they are all there.  So far so good.

   What I need to do, is pass a proxy URL from HTML, into Flex,
that will be used as a url parameter for an HTTPService.

I have for example:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; 
layout="absolute" height="380" width="450" alpha="1.0"
initialize="initApp();">








The idea is to pass in scrmurl, ie http://yourdomain.com/  and
the URL in HTTPService then becomes:
http://yourdomain.com/xmlrpc/request.php

Why won't they HTTPService then, acknowledge the scrmurl
variable?  When it posts, it only posts to xmlrpc/request.php, as though
the parameter is being completely ignored..

Thanks!
Alex





 

RE: [flexcoders] Registering flashvar variables properly?

[Peter Farland]

Right, HTTPService.url isn't marked [Bindable]. Programmatically
updating it as needed should work, as Tracy mentioned.

[flexcoders] Replace httpservice busy cursor with other indicator but not cursors

[George]

Hi guys,

The busy clock cursor cannot render smoothly when too much works running 
in Flash player, so I think it could be better to replace it with other 
indicators, such as animated SWF some fixed place. Unfortunately I 
couldn't find mx.rpc.http.HTTPService.as source(rpc package not open?) 
and cannot extend something based on.

So my plan is to send on-event from each httpservice operation instance, 
when service executed, turning SWF indicator on; and send another 
off-event when result/fault happen, when count back to zero. And another 
clearAll() to turn it off manually.

Any better methods?

Thanks in advance,
George

Yep you were right... 

at the beginning I did it but just after I got the event.COMPLETE when

now I used the ModuleInfo and ModuleInfoProxy to wrap the factory and
works perfectly...

Re: [flexcoders] Registering flashvar variables properly?

Whatever I tried, it just wouldn't work.

I had to finally resort to giving the HTTPService object an id, and adjusting 
that object's ID inside of the initialize block.  Doing that, worked.  Setting 
the HTTPService url to the bindable var inside of the XML markup, was a no-go.

Re: [flexcoders] Web Service & Enumerations...Is this a bug?...need help!

[Kevin]

Ah!  Thank you for the suggestions. I took an old machine and  
installed Eclipse and the Flex Builder Plugins.  Here were my results:


Flex 2:  Ran my WSDL Test and everything worked fine.

Flex 2 with Hotfix 2: Ran WSDL Test and it failed with decode errors

Flex 2 with Hotfix 3: Ran WSDL Test and it failed with decode errors

Flex 3:  Ran my WSDL Test and everything worked fine.

It appears that somewhere between 2 & 3 something broke and got fixed  
again.  I am happy that it is working in the newest version!


However, here is my dilemma.  We are in the middle of a huge project  
with weekly deadlines.  It is not my practice to install "beta"  
versions of software while we are in development like this. But in  
this case it seems that if we want the fix then we may need to  
upgrade.  So my question is how stable is this Flex 3 version and  
what potential issues may we run into using this with LCDS 2.5.1?  Is  
there any timeout period to the beta version where we would be stuck  
with software that we can't use anymore work?


This may have already been discussed on the forums so I will search  
there as well for my answers.  Thanks for the help.


- Kevin

scrmurl isn't a dynamic property.. it's declared at compile time as a
public var, and should be bindable.

You won't be able to {bind} to dynamically created properties easily.
There may be a way to set up a binding using AS, not sure.  

You could just set the url directly in initApp().

Hi,

   I'm busting my head against the wall on this one, I have to say that
Flex is pretty frustrating when you otherwise code C++ or Java by trade.

   Poking around, I have found how to pass variables into Flex apps
using flashvars.  If I check the Application.application.parameters
value, they are all there.  So far so good.

   What I need to do, is pass a proxy URL from HTML, into Flex, that
will be used as a url parameter for an HTTPService.

I have for example:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; 
layout="absolute" height="380" width="450" alpha="1.0"
initialize="initApp();">








The idea is to pass in scrmurl, ie http://yourdomain.com/  and the URL
in HTTPService then becomes:
http://yourdomain.com/xmlrpc/request.php

Why won't they HTTPService then, acknowledge the scrmurl variable?  When
it posts, it only posts to xmlrpc/request.php, as though the parameter
is being completely ignored..

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: Sorting problem on date and numbers with null values, I think

[aceoohay]

The data is fully populated at the time the column header is 
clicked. However some of the cells are null.

We certainly disagree on this:-) 

Since a null is a valid result for all data types, it seems to me 
that any sort algorithm should handle the universe of valid data 
elements for that type. 

Additionally there appears to be no way to write a generic 
sortCompareFunction handler that will handle any column from any 
datagrid. If this is true then the developer needs to decide what 
type of data is being stored in each column, can nulls ever exist in 
this column and then write a custom sort routine for that column.

If in fact Flex cannot sort columns with nulls, and every column 
that could contain a null requires the developer to write a separate 
custom sort handler, I think that "serious shortcoming" is a polite 
way of stating the issue.

Is there a way of working around this "feature?"

Hello,

It seems that Flash player 9,0,60,235 can't catch NetStram

on my computer.

I tried with a debugger, it doesn't stop at the breakpoint inside that

It is triggered with 9,0,47,0 on IE, and Firefox.

Can someone confirm that and tell me where can I submit à bug.

[flexcoders] Registering flashvar variables properly?

[flexnubslice]

Hi,

I'm busting my head against the wall on this one, I have to say that
Flex is pretty frustrating when you otherwise code C++ or Java by trade.

Poking around, I have found how to pass variables into Flex apps
using flashvars.  If I check the Application.application.parameters
value, they are all there.  So far so good.

What I need to do, is pass a proxy URL from HTML, into Flex, that
will be used as a url parameter for an HTTPService.

I have for example:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
 layout="absolute" height="380" width="450" alpha="1.0"
initialize="initApp();">

 
 
 




The idea is to pass in scrmurl, ie http://yourdomain.com/  and the URL
in HTTPService then becomes:
http://yourdomain.com/xmlrpc/request.php

Why won't they HTTPService then, acknowledge the scrmurl variable?  When
it posts, it only posts to xmlrpc/request.php, as though the parameter
is being completely ignored..

Thanks!
Alex

Re: [flexcoders] Passing Parameters, is something like this possible with Flex?

[flexcoders] Incomplete scrolling

[Richard Rodseth]

I have a variable-size dashboard-like component, centered inside a panel.
The dashboard is encapsulated in an HBox with a border, and is made up of a
couple of tilelists and some repeated items. It resizes correctly as its
data changes.

My problem is that when the dashboard gets too large to display, the panel
gets scrollbars correctly, but scrolling to the left doesn't take me all the
way to the beginning of the dashboard, i.e. it's clipped.  Any ideas? I
don't wish to give up the centering behaviour when the dashboard is small.

Re: [flexcoders] Web Service & Enumerations...Is this a bug?...need help!

[Paul Decoursey]

Have you tried Hotfix 3?  That had a lot of updates to web service code.

I did notice a lot of odd things similar to what was described when I  
updated to hotfix 3(I didn't install hotfix 2 until that time).  Most  
of the issues were due to Flex actually handling the SOAP calls as  
they should be verses the close enough hack way they were before.

RE: [flexcoders] Strange multiple select bug in List

I'm having a problem getting allowMultipleSelection to work properly. I
have a form with a List control that's populated by an ArrayCollection.
I cannot seem to get multiple selection or dataTips to work. The code
for the list is: 


















  






I've tried completely replacing the list with a DataGrid, and that
doesn't work either. I've tried setting just the bare minimum attributes
for the List control (and DG) without any luck. 

I've tried this using Flex 3 Beta 2 and 2.0.1 on Mac/Safari with player
9.0.47.0. I tried it on Mac/FF as well, and it sort of worked at first
(clicking items didn't cause other items to deselect - so that's more
like another bug really) but when I reloaded the app, it behaved the
same way as Safari. I'm just building the UI at the moment, so there's
no other functionality in the app. This has got me very confused, and I
haven't been able to find any clues. I know about the Tree multiple
select issue in Flex 2, is this related? I swear I've used a
multi-select List control before. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Sorting problem on date and numbers with null values, I think

[Alex Harui]

Well, I don't see it as a shortcoming that we default to efficient sort
algorithms that assume that all values are of the same type.  Seems like
all you need is a comparefunction for dates and one for numbers and
assign the correct function to the appropriate column.  Also note that
if you sort with nulls for data that hasn't arrived yet, you'll probably
have to re-sort as the data arrives.  The collections generally wait
until all data has arrived to do the sort so it doesn't have to keep
resorting as data has arrived.
 
So, you could wait for all data to arrive as well, or maybe monkey-patch
the sort code to handle null.  You can file an enhancement request, but
I don't see it getting done in 3.0

What is the workaround?

The sortCompareFunction does not seem to be reasonable, since a

This seems like a serious shortcoming...

I'd suggest something like FFMpeg or TeleStream FlipFactory for the

mx.utils.ObjectUtil.copy() won't work for Dictionary or Class as these

@Tom
How would one bind the keys to the new dictionary children?
var newDict:Dictionary = new Dictionary(); var item:Class for each(item
in myDictionary) { newDict[?] = item; }

@ben
If I have an object containing types (in my case a collection of Class
types referenced by a key string). Using the ObjectProxy.copy(), the new
object will contain child objects with the same keys as the original,
but the child types are Object types, not Class types.

RE: [flexcoders] Height Problems of List component using itemrenderer with different row height

[Alex Harui]

Not sure when I'll get time to look.  The basic trick to getting multiline to 
work is to set the explicitWidth/width of the text widget so it can define its 
height correctly.  The explicitWidth of the renderer is set by the list class 
before the renderer's measure() is called.

This only works with single label renderer or renderer with a fixed

Just adjust the path to the CFC.

This is where Coldfusion will start to look for CFC's.

Build a folder structure from here such as:

I just had this same error yesterday and had a couple answers posted.
You might try a search on this board, but the checklist I was asked
for was:

1. Is it using SSL?
2. Are you using Pragma: no-cache or cache control?
3. Is the server using gzip?
4. Did you check the URL of your HTTPService call?

Go ahead and print the fault message too, as that can be helpful at
times. My issue was with #2, but it was an IE6 only issue. Service
Capture is a great program for debugging these things as well. Just
grab the trial, and see what's up with your HTTPService call in the
way of traffic.

[flexcoders] Web Service & Enumerations...Is this a bug?...need help!

[Kevin]

Has anyone been successful accessing web services (with the  
WebService classes) that include an enumeration in them.  I cannot  
get it to work properly and no one seems to have an answer (even the  
support people at the web service company...).  Take a look at this  
WSDL to see the structure of the webservice I am trying to access.

http://ws.strikeiron.com/USAddressVerification4_0?WSDL

Thanks for the help... I am getting desperate.

[Alex Harui]

Yes.  Basically we need unique child collections

Thanx for the reply!

So would it be alright from the perspective of modelling the
application, that i create a 
field children in each class, that hold references to all of its childs
that i want to display?

I thought that the treedatadesciptor would be responsible melting the
children to display 
together. But the classes themselves are responsible for providing an
access to the childs 
to be displayed?

Sorry if my english ain't that good. I'm from Germany and i may need to
refresh grammar 
and vocab ;)

Best regards!

Actually, it does.  AES is a subset of Rijndael.  It's basically 
Rijdnael with a few more restrictions (block and key size), so 
that's what you should use.

Docs are here:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.cryptography.rijndael.aspx

I started working with ASCrypt3 and found that it needed a lot of 
work.  Specifically, some of the bitshifts were signed and should 
not have been and the padding algorithms were not consistent with 
the standard padding algorithms.

Shortly after I fixed these in a private implementation (feel free 
to let me know if anybody wants these), Metal Hurlant released his 
AS3 Crypto framework.  Once I took a look at Hurlant's AS3 Crypto 
work, I haven't touched ASCrypt3. Hurlant's work is extremely well 
done using common design patterns and enterprise quality tests.

The only thing that was missing in the AS3 Crypto libraries (and 
might not be missing any more) was a couple of padding algorithms.  
However, I have tested for compatibility with both Java and C# using 
the provided padding algorithms and it works perfectly.

Best of luck.

[flexcoders] Wrapper freezes during HTTPService call

[Paul Fischer]

I have a web application that is primarily html/jsp.  It embeds a Flex 
app for displaying a DataGrid of data from a web service.  While the 
service is executing, the web page does not respond to clicks on links 
which would navigate to a different page.  The embeded Flex app, 
however, does respond to mouse clicks.

I set a timeout on the HTTPService and found that even after the 
timeout, the web page does not respond to clicks for about another 2 
minutes.  At that time, the web page will execute whatever I clicked 
on during the freeze up period.

Is there something I can change about the HTTPService or the wrapper 
configuration?  I did a lot of searching through the Flex docs and web 
sites, but have not found any relevant information.

Thanks,
Paul

[flexcoders] Arrays, iteration, and referencing local variables?

[flexnubslice]

I'm trying to do something like this, but am unsure of the proper
language constructs in Flex:


var a:String = "";
var b:String = "";
var c:String = "";

private function initApp():void{
  var elements:Array = [ "a", "b", "c" ];

  for( var i:String in elements ){
if( Application.application.parameters.i )
  this.i = Application.application.parameters.i;
  }
}

Just trying to init some vars if they were set, but not sure how to
reference the this.i part..

Thanks!

[flexcoders] TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.

Hi there. I'm trying to do a very simple urlRequest ...

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); 
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoadCSS); 
loader.load(new URLRequest("htmlStyles.css"));

But I'm getting this error message ...

TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.

at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()

I've checked and double-checked the code and it is fine. The error suggests 
problems with the EventDispatcher class itself. Anyone have any ideas at all?

[flexcoders] Strange multiple select bug in List

[Ken Dunnington]

I'm having a problem getting allowMultipleSelection to work properly. I have
a form with a List control that's populated by an ArrayCollection. I cannot
seem to get multiple selection or dataTips to work. The code for the list
is:

















  




I've tried completely replacing the list with a DataGrid, and that doesn't
work either. I've tried setting just the bare minimum attributes for the
List control (and DG) without any luck.

I've tried this using Flex 3 Beta 2 and 2.0.1 on Mac/Safari with player
9.0.47.0. I tried it on Mac/FF as well, and it sort of worked at first
(clicking items didn't cause other items to deselect - so that's more like
another bug really) but when I reloaded the app, it behaved the same way as
Safari. I'm just building the UI at the moment, so there's no other
functionality in the app. This has got me very confused, and I haven't been
able to find any clues. I know about the Tree multiple select issue in Flex
2, is this related? I swear I've used a multi-select List control before.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

The sortCompareFunction does not seem to be reasonable, since a

[flexcoders] Re: Module Loader

[Gus]

Done!!

Thanks Alex, I did it... but had to do it by monkey patching some
classes.. don't like to do this... but...

although I only modified the load method in the ModuleInfo class to
add the loadBytes call, had to change the FactoryInfo,
ModuleInfoProxy, ModuleLoader, ModuleManager and ModuleManagerImpl
because they either have a ModuleInfo variable or weren't visible to
my class...

I don't know if can be done better...

one little defect is that the module is not visible in the design
mode... a red X appears...

Any thought on this???

Thanks!!!

Re: [flexcoders] Height Problems of List component using itemrenderer with different row height

[Christoph Atteneder]

With the default renderer with wordWrap = true and variableRowHeight= true
it works if I´m setting the height of the list after calling
measureHeightOfItems().
But it is not working if you are using more sophisticated ItemRenderers(e.g.
with VBox and multiple TextFields, Buttons,...) I´ve already uploaded a
simple Example under

This only works with single label renderer or renderer with a fixed height, but

Having just switched to a mac recently myself (and still getting used to 
it), it's frustrating that there isn't a TortoiseSVN-like client that 
integrates well with Finder.

The best I've found so far seems to be ZigVersion.  It's standalone, but 
it does a good job in a task-oriented workflow.  Rather than just being 
a GUI for the command line svn client, it has options based on what 
tasks you're trying to accomplish which makes it pretty easy to use.

On Linux I use kdesvn.

Typically, I prefer to use Subclipse, but it's always helpful to have a 
"full blown" svn gui client in the event that Subclipse gets fubar'd.

RE: [flexcoders] Subversion clients

[Samuel R. Neff]

Yeah, VisualSVN really is nice.  It's commercial but works really well and
they have amazing support.  For example, VS2008 was just released and there
were some reports of problems with VisualSVN not working with VS2008 (not
too surprising) and they fixed all the problems and put out a new release in
less than a week.

They also offer VisualSVN Server which is a wrapper of SVN server for
Windows and gives you a very nice windows package (installer, mmc snap-in,
web interface) and in future will provide things like active directory
integration.  VisualSVN Server is actually free.

How would one bind the keys to the new dictionary children?
var newDict:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
var item:Class
for each(item in myDictionary) {
newDict[?] = item;
}

@ben
If I have an object containing types (in my case a collection of Class

[flexcoders] Project works then doesn't

[Steve Hueners]

I'm working on a project that initially compiles and runs correctly. I
change a mx:Label control to a mx:TextArea - no other property changes
at all:




becomes:





No pre-compile problems listed but running the project gets:

TypeError: Error #1006: getInstance is not a function.
at 
mx.core::Singleton$/getInstance()[E:\dev\flex_3_beta2\sdk\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\core\Singleton.as:65]

at global$init()[C:\Documents and Settings\ME\My Documents\Flex
Builder 3\Campus\src\MenuLister.mxml:4]
<<
<<

Even strangerchanging the control back to a Label does _not clear
the error. Meaning i'm back to code that 20 seconds ago worked and now
doesn't.

The first time this happened I set in some breakpoints in a few
different files looking to see where the muckup occurred...didn't find
anything - but while looking the code started working again.

The second time I can only punt to you guys.

I don't know what data you're trying to encrypt/decrypt but when we tried

the source data had characters beyond ascii 127 character set.  The

using the same encodings to convert strings to bytes in .NET / AS3 we
couldn't not get the hashing algorithms to do the same thing.

I can't say anything about the Mac, but I always use the Subversive
Plugin for Eclipse:

http://www.polarion.org/index.php?page=overview&project=subversive

It seems to be less buggy than the alternative Subclipse plugin. Also
it became an official Eclipse project, so in the future it might be
part of the core platform like the CVS plugin.

I'm using Subversive with HTTP and with svn+ssh and did not have any

Re: [flexcoders] Eliminating scrollbars

[Paul Andrews]

It's my fault - my post wasn't too explicit. I wasn't particularly thinking of 
vertical scrollbars. Let's say you had a vertical scrollbar and a width of 
100%, this now means you also get a horizontal scrollbar because you can't get 
the 100% for the component (because of the scrollbar), so a horizontal bar will 
appear. I really don't want a horizontal bar and depending on content and 
context I might not have a vertical scrollbar either.

So really it's more a case of when you have one scrollbar and don't want two of 
them!

This is the scenario I had in mind:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"
 height="300">

 
 



If you make the box too high, the vertical scrollbar appears and also a 
horizontal scrollbar. Of course, when the height is small enough there is no 
vertical scrollbar.
I'd like the box width to track the available space so that no horizontal bar 
appears. The lazy approach with a magic number less than 100% does do the job, 
but it would be nice to see how others approach this. If I deliberately 
suppress the horizontal scroll policy, the vertical scrollbar will be over the 
box, obscuring part of it.

Whats the perceived best practice to avoid the generation of scrollbars in 
layouts?
