[flexcoders] How to implement HTTPService? and when to use it?
Hi, Can anyone tell me how to implement HTTPService and when to use it. My requirement is i am developing an web application which is used in salesforce.com. for each page i have created login method and accessing the salesforce connection object, i want to restrict multiple login. For that i have tried implementing Singleton class, but unfortunetly it is working in test project but not in actual project is there anyway to restrict multiple logins in each page. In main application i created the login method and displaying the another mxml component based on the roles and rights. I want to reuse the salesforce connection object in each mxml component. how to achieve it.. Thanks in advance Regards Girish Get the freedom to save as many mails as you wish.

[flexcoders] How to improve BitmapData processing speed?
Hello all, I am processing a bitmap data in Flex 3 beta 2. I want to do something to the pixels so I need to get them all and add my action to them. But I found it is very slow if I get pixels one by one by using two for loop and getPixel() method. Of course the setPixel() method is also slow. Then I try the getPixels() to gain a byteArray. It's fast but I still need to loop the byte array and readUnsignedInt() to get every color pixel and set them back. This also takes me much time. Is there any way to make it faster or I just use the wrong method to do such things? Thanks. == Make Every Day Count Larry Zhang
[flexcoders] Flex Preloader, not displaying immediately
Hi There I'm experiencing some issues with the default Flex preloader. It used to display immediately in our application but now recently as the app loads there is a blank white screen for the bulk of of the upload the preloader displays for a short instance just before the app load completes. I used Charles to simulate a slow download speed - although not sure how accurate an experience it will present - and it shows a white screen while downloading the bulk of the main swf. I have tried initializing adding the main view to the stage in the onComplete event, but there isnt much difference. Our app is quite large (2mb+) and there are a lot of data connections being made in the app's initialize event. The only things that have changed since we noticed the preloader not appearing immediately is upgrading to FlexBuilder 3 beta 2 and our app getting slightly bigger. Any suggestions? Cheers Tracy

[flexcoders] Accessing Microsoft XLS from Flex.
Hi Guys I have a Microsoft Excel file with 2000 rows of data, which I want to load in a Flex app. Basically it is something like a shopping cart, where a user can say that I want to search for products with certain costs and certain features.So the Flex app will load all the data at the client side and then will apply filters on the data. My questions are: 1. Is there someway that I can read the XLS file directly into the Flex app? 2. What is the best practice if you have large set of data on which you want to apply filtering in the Flex app? 3. Am I better off by writing some server side Java code to query the XLS file (or should I convert it into a database)? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

[flexcoders] Embedded SWFs and Fonts
Hi Flexcoders, I've got a slightly obscure objective concerning Embedded SWFs and Fonts in ActionScript 3 Projects. Basically I want to be able to create several SWFs (probably in Flash) which can be embedded in ActionScript 3 projects and styled. I.e. I want to be able to change the fonts used in the SWF. The tricky part is, I don't want to embed the fonts directly inside the embedded SWFs — I want to embed them in the parent application so they can be shared across the embedded SWFs. The goal is to keep all SWFs as small as possible. Can this be done with SWFs created in Flash 8? What about Flash 9 CS 3? Cheers, Lach smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

[flexcoders] Re: Preserving History when leaving and returning to Flex
While working on a small test case for this, I realized what was happening. The pages beyond the Login screen have a security check that looks for a user_id variable (stored in the application model). When the user leaves the Flex app and then returns, the model variables are lost and so trying to go directly back to the page results in the user being redirected to the Login page. So, I'm now storing some session info in the database then passing the session id back into the Flex app and having that re-establish the necessary model variables so that the user ends up back on the correct page. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Flex should reload the saved state.

The problem is, when you click Back after leaving Flex, it looks like the History Manager no longer works and it just returns you to the default/initial state instead of the saved/history state. I noticed the URL still has the state URL variables/data in it (e.g. #app=a1ceeac2-selectedIndex=4) but Flex seems to be ignoring this URL data and just loads the default/initial state. Is there a way to have Flex reload the saved state when returning from an external URL? To say this another way, assume the following path of a User: 1) Login Page 2) Main Menu Page 3) Product Category Page 4) Product Detail Page 5) External Product Link [NOT Flex -- uses NavigateToURL()] The forward/back buttons work fine between #1 and #4, but once the user navigates to #5, the back button returns them to #1 instead of #4 -- but I want to take the user back to #4. Note: one workaround to this would be to open a new window by using _blank for the target of NavigateToURL(), but in my scenario this is undesirable.

Therefore it can't include these classes in the SWF unless you give it some help. One way is to use vars like you show to create dependencies.

RE: [flexcoders] Application without MXML: Is it possible?
I'd be happy to share that information with you. My main reasons for preferring straight Actionscript over MXML are: 1. My editor of choice, Visual SlickEdit, which I've used since my C days in the last millenium, does not have an MXML mode. It provides nice code completion, syntax highlighting, autoindent, etc. for XML or Actionscript separately, but not together. So when I have to work with MXML, I usually pull the Actionscript out into a separate include file. 2. I don't like to fuss with namespaces and manifest files to use my own components in MXML, especially for one-offs. 3. As a matter of personal preference, I prefer working with code, with all of its curly braces, parentheses, function calls, etc., over XML. As far as the extra verbosity of code goes, I have some utility functions which make it comparable to MXML. For example, I have a utility function that will add a UIComponent to its parent container, and set any number of properties or styles on it, all in a single function call. 4. As a corollary to #3, I prefer that the code that ultimately is compiled is written (and hence known) by me, rather than generated, so if it doesn't work right, I can more easily diagnose the problem. I rarely use databinding. Instead, I use old-fashioned assignment statements, that execute exactly where and when I want them to. I previously worked with a guy who was committed to doing things in The Flex Way, who bound all of the controls on a GUI form to the fields of the object it was meant to modify. But since the form had a Cancel button, he also had to write a lot of code that would save a snapshot of the properties of the object so he could restore the object's original state if the Cancel button was clicked. When I had to go back and fix the numerous bugs in that form after he left, I ripped out all of the binding and restore code, and simply updated the object's properties when the OK button was clicked. The end result was much less code that was far more understandable.

We then compile using a link report to optimize each of the modules for our application and everything seems to work fine. However now the application is nearly finished we just started to really skin the application (we started with the OSX stylesheet from scalenine and tweaked from there) everything looked ok until we noticed some oddities. The things we noticed were that you could click on a textarea within a module but you couldn't type into it and wherever date choosers are used we got the OSX style chrome on the date chooser but couldn't see nor choose any dates. Removing the OSX stylesheet fixed both of these problems. I tried tweaking the OSX stylesheet but that did not resolve the problem the only thing that I did which resolved all these strange issues was to include the OSX stylesheet within each of the modules themselves. I know I get a few warnings when compiling stating that certain CSS declarations aren't going to be evaluated, but the fact that the styles for things like the date chooser are in the app when the CSS is only in the main application is really confusing.

[flexcoders] Line Chart Zooming - data points drawn incorrectly
Hi, My application has a LineChart with a customized DateTimeAxis for displaying stock data. One of the features I am working on is the ability to zoom into a section of the chart, accomplished by adjusting the axis min/max values. The problem is that for charts showing intra-day data, when I zoom in the data points are rendered incorrectly - specifically, the distance on the x-axis between the 1st and 2nd points is much longer than it should be, with the rest of the points squashed up in the remaining space. I've already verified that the transformCache() function in my DateTimeAxis class is producing correct convertedField values, but somehow the conversion from these fractional values to actual screen coordinates is going wrong. Does anyone have any ideas about where this error can be appearing? I've looked at the CartesianTransform class, but I don't know if it's possible to use a customised version of this in my application. I hope this makes sense... thanks. Iain

So I'll do the ff: 1. set itemRenderer=checkbox and itemEditor=checkbox. 2. set tabEnabled=false for the checkbox itemRenderer; this is so that the itemRenderers don't screw up the tab order Under the above setup, the tab order seems correct.

[flexcoders] Re: how does import statement,work? a possible fb bug
You are probably omitting the import statement -- you are probably assuming that since you explicitly qualified the class name, the import is not necessary. In Java, if you explicitly qualify a class name in your code, then you don't need to have an import statement at the top of the file. But Flex is different: You still need the import.

Where could I find some information/samples to run it directly in the servlet container ? - I have asked to the GraniteDS project leader what was the major issue with this mxmlc runtime compiler, and he answered me (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/graniteds/message/832 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/graniteds/message/832 ) that he couldn't find any way to ask mxmlc to list imports in as or mxml files.

Therefore it can't include these classes in the SWF unless you give it some help. One way is to use vars like you show to create dependencies. Another way is to use the -include-classes compilation option. For some reason that I don't understand, this is only an option for compc when you make a SWC, not for mxml when you make a SWF. But you can make a SWC with all your custom classes and then link that SWC in with -include-libraries. Another possibility is to put all your custom classes into a module and load it.

[flexcoders] How to have no MenuBar No ToolBar in Browser
Good Morning: I am using FlexBuilder 2.01. When I run my app, I want the app to display in the browser without the menu bar and toolbar. Like when JamJar and other apps display it just has the Title bar. I am using IE 6 as my browser. I think I need to change the index.template.html file located in the html-template folder. I have searched but have been unable to find info on what code and where it goes to achieve this. Again, I think it is menubar=no and toolbar=no, but not sure of the syntax and if index.template.html is the right file. Can anyone tell me what needs to be changed and where does it go? Thanks, Jack
[flexcoders] LiveCycle Data Services crashing help. Consultant?
We are having some serious problems with our data services app. Our specific problem is that whenever we upload our application to our server and attempt to log into it from our clients there seems to be a memory overload which crashes the client's browser. Generally what happens is endless lines of [Flex] Thread[RTMP-Worker-6,5,main] connection writer finished appear in our log until the client browser crashes and the End of stream from client or the underlying socket is no longer connected appears. [Flex] Thread[RTMP-Worker-6,5,main] connection writer finished. Elapsed write time: 0 [Flex] Thread[RTMP-Worker-6,5,main] connection writer running.

[Flex] Thread[RTMP-Worker-6,5,main] connection reader closing connection. End of stream from client or the underlying socket is no longer connected. Obviously, if anyone has any general ideas about why this would be occurring (and primarily just when accessing remotely and not localhost) or how we can debug it deeper we would greatly appreciate the help and direction. Admittedly, this is our first attempt at a larger data services app (we did a couple successful tests with smaller data services test apps) and thus we are probably doing something wrong... At this point with our level of frustration and deadlines passing, we are also thinking we need to hire a Data Services expert to help us get to the bottom of the problem. We have contacted Adobe, but their support options are well out of our price range. I would love any recommendations from any coders our there who have used consultants and know of any who would be able to debug these type of problems as well as do some code review for us. Feel free to email me offline if that is more appropriate. Thanks for the help. - Kevin

[flexcoders] Events in AS3 gives Compile Error 1119
Hi Flexcoders,
I#8217;m having trouble with some advanced features of flexthat involve
events, custom datagrid components, and item renderers. Basically, I#8217;ve
been following along #8220;Thanks Mister#8221; blogwhich shows how to bubble
an event to a parent control. In the blog tutorial,there is a list control,
and one of the columns has a button, so when a userclicks the button a menu
appears, and then which ever menu item is selected bythe user triggers a new
event to be dispatched and bubbled up to the parentcontrol.
http://thanksmister..com/?p=68#comment-5836
In my situation#8230;.
1.) I have a custom DataGrid object, which has metadatatag:
[Event(name=menuClick,type=mx.events.MenuEvent)]
2.)I have a custom datagrid ItemRenderer, thatknows how to bubble up the
menu event to the parent custom datagrid control
3.) There is an event handler function inside the mxmlfile that has an
instance of the datagrid object.
My Problem:
For some reason when I use mxml to connect the event handlerfunction with the
custom datagrid control I can get that to work; however, whenI try to use AS I
get a compile Error 1119: Access of possiblyundefined property MENU_CLICK
through a reference with a static type Class.
Here is the mxml that works:
mx:Script
![CDATA[
publicfunction initApp():void {}
publicfunction
handleMenuEvent(event:MenuEvent):void
{ Alert.show(#8220;menu Event#8221;);}
]]
/mx:Script
local:CustomDataGrid id=#8221;mycustomdg#8221;
menuClick=#8221;handleMenuEvent(event)#8221;/
Here is the AS that does *not* work, I put thisinside the initApp() function
and I get a compiler error, 1119:
this.mycustomdg.addEventListner(MenuEvent.MENU_CLICK,handleMenuEvent);

[flexcoders] Enterprise use of web services
Hello, I am new to the list and sorry if this is a repeat question! I am wondering about the recommended 'best practice' on the use of web services in an enterprise Flex (2) application. Looking around I found the Kiwi project which seems to suggest that (with proper use of Cairngorm) the View (mxml file) never needs to call a web service. Rather these should be delegated to the server side. While that makes sense to me, I was wondering if this was now widely considered acceptable. For our application, a very related question is how to handle Authentication. Not how to 'do' authentication, but how securely manage it. More directly related to the above web service discussion, so if I am only calling web services from the Server, but those web services require a User to be authenticated first, what is the best practice? Thanks for any discussion or pointers to previous ones.

*Subject:* [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:
mx:ArrayCollection id= pages
mx:Object name=Home pageID= 1 url=/index.cfm /
mx:Object name=About Us pageID= 2 url=/about/index.cfm /
mx:Object name=Services pageID= 3 url=/services/index.cfm /

/mx:ArrayCollection
mx:FormItem label=Pages
mx:List id=navPages labelField=name change=inspect(event)
allowMultipleSelection=true dataProvider={pages }
dataTipField=url showDataTips=true /
/mx:FormItem
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.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the info, I was actually getting confused with allthe various event
names. You are correct, there is no MenuEvent.MENU_CLICKevent which probably
explains the compiler error.
I tried to use MenuEvent.MENU_CLICK after reading the blogtutorial. I believe
using #8220;menuClick#8221; in the MXML works becausethe custom datagrid obj.
that was used has metadata tag at the top of the classdefinition that specifies
a new event, named #8220;menuClick#8221; that isfor all MenuEvents.
[Event(name=menuClick,type=mx.events.MenuEvent)]
Public class CustomDataGrid extends mx.controls.DataGrid
{
Public function CustomDataGrid():void{ super();}
}
However, trying your suggestion I changed
MenuEvent.MENU_CLICK to MenuEvent.ITEM_CLICKin the AS I started getting runtime
errors. Saying
Error 1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convertmx.events.ListEvent to
mx.events.MenuEvent
I#8217;m sending this back out to the flexcoders community toget their input
as well. I appreciate your assistance.

which ever menu item is selected by the user triggers a newevent to be

For some reason when I use mxml to connect the event handler function withthe
custom datagrid control I can get that to work; however, when I try to useAS I
get a compile Error 1119: Access of possibly undefined propertyMENU_CLICK

[flexcoders] how to include local swc files using flexant
Hi all,
I'm trying to do the same to include a swc that I have locally in my
project under flexpackages/lib (it's a library that i created but not
yet disted).
compiler.include-libraries dir=${flexant.mxmlc.swc.custom.dir}
append=true
include name=${flexant.mxmlc.swc.dynamicgrid.file}/
/compiler.include-libraries
(this is defined inside a mxmlc tag)
Where in build.properties,
flexant.mxmlc.swc.custom.dir=${flex.src.dir}/lib
flexant.mxmlc.swc.dynamicgrid.file=dynamicdatagrid.swc
When I build it, the classes defined in dynamicdatagrid.swc cannot be
found. If I just add this swc file using the flexbuilder to the flex
classpath, it works fine.
Should I be including this library differently? Thanks.

[flexcoders] Where is that flex-config.xml file?
Hello: In this article from Adobe: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19323sliceId=2 It says When the optimize attribute is set totrue, it reduces the size of the Flex application's SWF by 10-15% by compressing the ActionScript code and removing all the trace statements. If you have optimize set totrue, then you will not see the trace statements in the output file. To see the trace during development, you need to set optimizefalse/optimize in the flex-config.xml file. I'm using Flex Builder 2.0.1 (not the plugin version), anyone please tell me any place to configure that? Thanks a lot - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.

in the container that actually holds the chart, i've got some code that
calls events to get the data for that component and what not, but i'm
going to slim it down for our sake. I add my series dynamically based
on more xml configurable elements and attributes and all of that comes
back fine... all my style does is takes away the drop shadow from the
line (stroke)...
StudyChart.mxml extends VBox
mx:LineChart id=studyChart
width=100% height=100%
showDataTips=true

here is two images...
please ignore the top selector chart with the handles on the right and
left side...
the first one shows the charts loading, the top one with the yellow
stroke for the data line is finished, the the one below it is still
loading
image 1 http://axel.cfwebtools.com/chartWidth.jpg
the second one is the charts loaded... but if you compare the two images
you can see the chart is shifted to the left, and it's not as wide as it
should be...

thanks for the help... i'm open to anything.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to improve BitmapData processing speed?
Without pretending to have the inside track on how they do it - I'm fairly sure they accomplish it by some combination of multiplication/division but not on individual pixels, without having spent more than 45 secs looking at it. There's also they option that the accomplish the realtime effect by adding a layer filed with a certain color on top and adjust the alpha value. That might be able to mimick the final result without noticable differences and then generate the actual rendering i the background until it's done and the swap of images goes unnnoticed :) On Dec 3, 2007 7:36 PM, larryzzl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My image is 1024 * 768.

[flexcoders] Atom feeds
I have a simple Atom feed reader application using the grid control.
When you click and item on the grid, a text area is populated with the
contents of one of the feed elements (content)
It works great unless the content element contains HTML:
A sample content Atom element with HTML looks like this:
content type=xhtmlThis is a link a
href=http://www.example.com;click here/a/content
This results in [object Object] appearing in the TextArea.
Any ideas for what's wrong?
Here is relevent application code code:
mx:DataGrid id=titleList
dataProvider={atomUrl.lastResult.feed.entry} width=100% height=100%
mx:columns
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=title headerText=Title

You don't say what you want the TextArea to actually display in this
case.
The HTML code that you show?

This is a link click here with click here being a working hyperlink?

[flexcoders] Flex LineChart dynamic data
Hi peeps, I have 4 flex charts all getting random data dynamically added through a java applet. This is all working fine, the problem is I want a unified x-axis for all of them. The way I see to do it is to add null values to all graphs (except the one that gets added) whenever 1 sample comes in. A work mate noticed that when the data fills up to the end of the graph, flex condenses the x-axis to supply more room for data. Is an event fired off on that? The theory being I could fill in the rest of the charts with null values if one chart reaches the end. Cheers
[flexcoders] Parsing a ArrayCollection as a combobox dataprovider

Flex create an arraycollection with each table of my database and i would like to parse the arraycollection to put just one row of my table as the data of a combobox and one row of my row as text of my combobox. Does someone know how to parse the arraycollection generated by flex to put it in a combobox variable. I'am a beginner in flex.. so sorry If you should have an example of it.. why not. Thanks a lot for your help

Of course they do a new image of that quality could not be delivered at that speed. And I'm sure you understand the capabilities of an overlay with solid colors, adjustable alpha and blend modes.

hi Prayank: to Question 1:it seems there's no flex's API to read XLS file... to Question 2:filtering data function is certainly available,but flex did not provide data filter component.u should write codes to accomplish that.if u'll use sever side Java code to read database,how about using SQL to filter datas,in my opinion,this method saves alot of Flex codes but of course is a little bit lazy,and will cost extra time to complete the filtering. to Question 3:yes~i had done this before too,i directly changed XLS file to mdb files(Access'file) and use JDBC-ODBC drive to connect database. all the best~ P.S:if u find ways to read XLS file directly from flex app,i will be grateful if u tell me about it~
