if I do:

Then the sol namespace gets copied. However, if I do,

RE: [flexcoders] Keyboard Listeners with IE 7

IE7 may have more keyboard shortcuts that conflict with yours.  Just a

Subject: [flexcoders] Keyboard Listeners with IE 7

 

Are there any known issues with keyboard listeners and IE 7? I've
added a listener to handle Ctrl+1, 2, ...0 for switching tabs inside
my interface, and it works great in everything except IE 7. In IE 6
and Firefox the commands are accepted immediately, causing the
interface to switch to the appropriate tab. In IE 7, I have to
hold the keys down for several seconds before they get passed through.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

[flexcoders] Re:Offline Work Support in Flex 2

[Anzer]

Hi,

Since flex is a client tool and the application will download to the client
browser (Flash player) when the user requests the application I think you
can structure your app to work offline.

When the user has connection to server get all the needed data from server
and store them in memory using array, arraycollection or VOs. When the user
make changes, update the data in memory objects and finally when the user
needs to synch to server check whether connection available and update the
data.

I haven't tried it yet but I think it will work if we structure the app
perfectly. 

Another choice is use Google gears,  http://gears.google.com/

[flexcoders] compc usage

[Stephen Roy J. Tang]

Hi all,

Can someone point me to a good example of compc command line usage?

I saw a few but the examples always require a manifest file that list
out the files included in the SWC. Is it possible to do it without a
manifest file, i.e. I just point to the folder where the classes are?

In the middle of development, I expect to be adding classes to the SWC
regularly so I don't want to keep updating a manifest file every time.

Thanks,

Roy

[flexcoders] IE cache

Hi All,

I need an auto refresh feature in my flex application, my code is like this: 

var timedProcess:uint = 
setInterval(refreshResults, 30);

it works fine on firefox. but looks like there is a cache problem on IE. the
refreshResults() doesn't get called.

i changed the IE cache settings to 1MB(minimum) but it doesn't work.

any ideas?

thanks

RE: [flexcoders] Flex SSL over AMF with ColdFusion services-config.xml

[Peter Farland]

If you're loading your SWF via HTTPS then you should be able to make
secure connections from the Flash Player. As for the right channel being
automatically selected, it depends on whether channel failover happens
correctly. I didn't see a destination configuration below, but if the
 snippet represents the list of channels for your destination,
then I believe it will try to connect using the SecureAMFChannel first
and fall back to the AMFChannel on failing. While this might be useful
in development, I wouldn't suggest it for deployment - especially if you
really do have a requirement to connect to a secure endpoint.

Can you add  to your MXML, recompile, and then debug
or look at flashlog.txt for more information about what might be going
wrong in the channel connection phase?

[flexcoders] Re: Developing Flex against CF Server

[nasawebguy]

Dale, I feel your pain. Flex Builder does need more intuitive and 
support different develop/production scenarios, especially where the
developer isn't running locally or even on a local network. It can be
confusing. It is assumed that you're using a dev version of CF on your
dev box. (ideal scenario).

Mapped drive works great when on a LAN, but doesn't if I'm deploying
to a remote server/host.

In my case, I find using the "Basic" project, not CF option, is
easiest for me for remote server work.

On my local PC, I created a folder path
C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\web-inf\flex\services-config.xml 
CF8 in your case

Then after compiling/running locally in Flex, I FTP/RDP the /bin to
the remote server.

This lets me build locally and compile locally, then test on the
server with live data. Not ideal, but it works.

But, you do need to right-click on the project, select properties and
enter the following in the complier arguments
-services "C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\web-inf\flex\services-config.xml"

It's a workaround that works for me.

When I'm in the office, on a LAN, I map a drive, like Mike suggests.

[flexcoders] embedding html in xml

[jamalwally]

Hi there,

I am using an external XML file to define the content for a Text
component in Flex.  The xml file has HTML tags (e.g.  for bold).

When I assign the XML to the Text component's htmlText property, I get
unwanted extra line breaks around the HTML tags.

For example, here is the external XML file:


  This is the text with html tags


Then in actionscript I load the XML file and create the Text component

  // create the XML file loader
  var xmlLoader = new URLLoader();
  xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(externalFilename));

  // create an XML object from the file contents
  var myxml:XML = new XML(xmlLoader.data);

  // make the Text component
  var mytext:Text = new Text();
  mytext.htmlText = myxml;

The displayed text component has three lines of text because of
unwanted line breaks around the HTML  tag:
  "This is the text with
  *html*
  tags"

Instead of just one line of text as I was hoping for:
  "This is the text with *html* tags"

Is there a way around this (perhaps a way to specify a set of tags
(e.g. ) that should not be interpreted as XML sub-nodes of ?

Thanks in advance

Re: [flexcoders] Developing Flex against CF Server

If your development server has CF installed on the C:\ drive, map that
C drive share onto your local dev box. Let's call it Z drive. Do in
your Flex settings you write Z:\ColdFusion8\ for the path. I bet you
could also use UNC paths, such as \\server\c$\ColdFusion8\.

[flexcoders] TabNavigator and States problem

[tpokrajcic]

I have a TitleWindow and a TabNavigator inside with several tabs based
on Canvas.
There are two states - "Base State" and "Edit". TitleWindow goes to
"Edit" state upon click on "Edit" button.

Now a problem:
After clicking on a button, state of current tab changes to Edit, but
when I click other tabs, they're in Base State. 
Actually, after switching tabs I can see in a blink of an eye that
other tab somehow changed state from Edit back to Base State, but when
I place breakpoints in UIComponent state handling functions I can't
catch any state changing there...
And more strange is that the first tab always has a correct state, no
matter on what tab I was when clicking button.
Anyone experienced something like this?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Mock objects in AS3

[Drew Bourne]

As the author of that mock framework Adam linked to I thought I  
should chip in with my thoughts on the issues that have been raised.

Regarding having to hand code the implementation of the class you  
want to mock I have found that with a couple of snippet templates for  
TextMate I can write them quite quickly.

If you are going to hand-code stubs for use in testing without using  
a framework you are adding behaviour to a class which means you  
should then be testing that class too.

To ease some of the pain until we can generate mock objects from  
interfaces I intend to bundle a bunch of support classes that provide  
mocks for many of the core flash class (think URLLoader,  
EventDispatcher, Socket, etc). Speak up if you've got suggestions for  
the classes you would like to see included initially.

I have a couple of ideas about what we would need to be able to  
generate the mock classes:

1) Generate the .as for the mock from reflection information at  
runtime, then compile the generated .as at runtime with a self-hosted  
compiler (AS3 compiler in AS3) then load it via Loader.loadBytes and  
flash.utils.getDefinitionByName

2) Write an AS3 Parser in something like Java or Ruby that would  
provide access to the Abstract Syntax Tree from which we can generate  
the mock class, then compile the generated .as with mxmlc along with  
the test suite.

By implementing a tool that provides the AST for an AS3 class we open  
up the doors for lots of fun like generating mocks, AOP, code  
mutation (think adding hooks for code coverage reporting, mutation  
testing, additional metadata directives)

There is work in the Tamarin project for a self-hosted compiler  
however last I checked it wasn't far enough along for our purposes.

The hxASM library looks interesting and could definately be an avenue  
worth exploring for this. Adam, I would be interested in  
collaborating on getting a port of hxASM to AS3 so that we can  
generate the necessary bytecodes to create mocks from an interface at  
runtime.

cheers,
Drew

[flexcoders] How to use Beta 2 SDK in Flex Builder 3 beta 3?

[Scot]

I have a new installation of Flex Builder 3 b 3.  I would like to use this 
version (beta 3) to 
continue developing projects with the beta 2 SDK.

I have set the location to the beta 2 SDK in the "Installed Flex SDK's" tab of 
the 
Flex>Preferences panel.  The beta 2 SDK is recognized as "Flex 3 M3 (Beta 2)".  

The problem occurs when I try to use that as the SDK for a new project.  I get 
an error "An 
internal build error has occurred."  At that point, nothing will compile.  Any 
ideas?

[flexcoders] Keyboard Listeners with IE 7

[dfalling]

Are there any known issues with keyboard listeners and IE 7?  I've
added a listener to handle Ctrl+1, 2, ...0 for switching tabs inside
my interface, and it works great in everything except IE 7.  In IE 6
and Firefox the commands are accepted immediately, causing the
interface to switch to the appropriate tab.  In IE 7, I have to
hold the keys down for several seconds before they get passed through.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

[flexcoders] Developing Flex against CF Server

[Dale Fraser]

I have a CF development server aleady,

 

But what I don't understand, is when I create a new flex project is that it
asks me for the web root and url of CF.

 

What am I supposed to put in here, the server one I assume. It fails of
course as the locally C:\ColdFusion8 is not available.

 

So how do you configure a Flex project that works with a development server
rather than a local development environment?

[flexcoders] Webservice issue

[rahul_mainkar]

Hello people,
Recently I got a very tricky problem to deal with. I have a web
service which accepts few parameters and an array of objects. Web
service is working perfectly fine as we have tested it with some tools.
Now when I execute my flex application, I get a strange error which I
am not able to solve for a long time.
Error is:
faultCode:EncodingError faultString:'Cannot find definition for type
'urn:com.ebg.challanparking.ejbs::GetPoItemList'' faultDetail:'null'

As I guess, my flex application is not able to resolve the name space
or it is not getting the correct definition for the Class GetPoItemList.
I tried putting name spaces into  tag but still no luck.

My question is, how do I resolve this issue and Why is this
application not able to recognize the class definition.
Following is the code snippet










I also checked in the WSDL, it has all the necessary details and this
class type is present in the schema.
Any reply will be highly appreciated
Thanks in advance

[flexcoders] Manual Drag & Drop - copying of original component that is bein dragged?

[Fah Queue]

Hi there I am using this code as the basis of my project:
http://blogs.adobe.com/flexdoc/2007/03/creating_resizable_and_draggab.html

I modified the code and came up with my own drag/drop functions:

private function tbMouseMoveHandler(event:MouseEvent):void 
{
// create the filterEditObj in order to display its data in the
Filter Settings Edit form
// - form id =

var dragInitiator:Button = Button(event.currentTarget);
var ds:DragSource= new DragSource();
ds.addData(event.currentTarget, 'panel');

// Update the xOff and yOff variables to show the

xOff = event.currentTarget.mouseX;
yOff = event.currentTarget.mouseY;

// Initiate d&d. 
DragManager.doDrag(dragInitiator, ds, event);
}

// Function called by the canvas dragEnter event; enables dropping
private function doDragEnter(event:DragEvent):void 
{
DragManager.acceptDragDrop(Canvas(event.target));
}

// Function called by the Canvas dragDrop event; 
// Sets the panel's position,

private function doDragDropMemberCanvas(event:DragEvent):void

As you can see I'm not using panels but Button componenets that have
the "data" attributes set to an object containing data related to it.

Anyway what I am trying to do is instead of dropping the button that i
have clicked and dragged to instead create an instance (a copy) of a
button that has been clicked AND dragged at the same time so that if
there is only one button after I click and drag there will be two
buttons with identical data except that their "id" will be different -
i will probably use some way to make sure that no two ids are the same.

Any ideas, tips? thank you so much!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: interface inheretence

[Aaron Miller]

Hi Simon,

I definitely understand your position. In fact this was how the code used to
work. The problem we were running into is that there are a lot of different
child users types which frequently change during the execution of the
program. What's worse is more child user types keep getting added and much
of the program execution throughout the application depends on which type of
user is currently in use. We were finding that making frequent updates to
this system was becoming quite a chore, and usually introduced new bugs.

I've actually finished the conversion to the more polymorphic system, and it
seems to be working quite well. I've even found that I could utilize binding
by creating a "morphUserType" function that dispatches a propertyChange
event. This would allow me to do something like:

# selectedIndex="{(myAuthUser.userModel is IChildUserModel )? 1 : 0}"

However, this does introduce another question. Is there a good way in AS3 to
determine the exact implementation of a class? Right now, I can only check
to see if it's not an IChildUserModel which means it must then be an
IUserModel. What if down the road a third type was added? I was thinking I
might be able to do something like a switch statement without breaks to see
how far down the line it goes, but this would bring me back to the updating
problem where switch statements would have to be updated throughout the
application.

This is really just a question for my own curiosity, so anyones  thoughts on
the matter will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again!

[flexcoders] Re: Custom Tooltips in UIComponent

[Nate Pearson]

I'm hooking up dynamic data to it.  I also like to customize the
appearance of it(multiple rows, bold, maybe a background color change).

Is that enough info?

RE: [flexcoders] Custom Tooltips in UIComponent

[Gordon Smith]

I don't understand. UIComponents already have a toolTip property. When
it is set, a tool tip automatically appears when the mouse moves over
that component and stays there for a little while.

I'm extending UIComponent to make some custom components.

I want to add a custom tooltip to it when someone mouse overs it.

I can't figure out how to do it...I might need to implement
ToolTipManager and use controls.ToolTip but that seems like too much
work. I wouldn't want to listen for every time the mouse moves for

What I would really like is a function like "dataTipFunction" that's

[flexcoders] Custom Tooltips in UIComponent

I'm extending UIComponent to make some custom components.

I want to add a custom tooltip to it when someone mouse overs it.

I can't figure out how to do it...I might need to implement
ToolTipManager and use controls.ToolTip but that seems like too much

O yes, that's right.
But I am using this 
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/defining_data_models/
and it does not have bindable for each getter. I think.

I'm not sure what the compiler does in this case, but even if it allows
it we'd consider it bad practice because of the ambiguity.

This is an interesting idea, but it would increase the SWF size while
gaining relatively minor benefit (at least in my opinion).
 
> It just feels sort of hackish if you know what I mean.
 
You probably feel it's hackish because the syntax for setting
properties, styles, and events is the same in MXML but different in AS.
But the AS syntax is "real" in the sense of showing what is actually
happening at the level of the Player and framework APIs. The MXML syntax
is "sugar" due to the simplicity of using XML attributes to specify
three things which under the covers are really quite different. You're
advocating hiding these differences at the AS level as well, which I
think could cause more confusion than you're trying to solve.
 
I'd be interested to hear others' opinions on this.

Thanks Gordon. Can I ask what would happen if you had an attribute the
same name as a style and the same name as an event and you tried to set
this in the mxml? 

Or would this not be allowed? If its not allowed it seems like events
and styles should automatically create getters/setters of their variable
types on the classes so that you programmatically could do something
like component.someEventName = someFunctionName; instead of
component.addEventListener("foo",bar);  and the variable would be of
type EventListener, or something. /shrug

It just feels sort of hackish if you know what I mean.

Some MXML attributes specify properties, some specify styles, some
specify event handler bodies, and some specify effects. (And some, like
'id', get special handling.)

The programmatic way to set a property is

component.foo = bar;

The programmatic way to set a style or effect is

component.setStyle("foo", "bar");

The programmatic way to set an event handler is

component.addEventListener("foo", bar);

Well, I solved the problem by using
adgc.setStyle("headerStyleName","someStyle");  - however I'm still
confused as to how there are attributes you can specify in mxml that
can't be set programmatically.

I've encountered this elsewhere also - is it just a styles thing?

However, when I try to do it with actionscript:

var adgc:AdvancedDataGridColumn = new AdvancedDataGridColumn();

adgc.headerStyleName = "someStyle";

I get the error that headerStyleName is not defined on
AdvancedDataGridColumn.

Huh?

Whats going on here, and how can I set it programmatically?

RE: [flexcoders] Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference

[Gordon Smith]

That's because when you simply declare
 
var test:testClass;
 
the variable 'test' is automatically assigned a default value of null.
 
The default value of a var depends on its type, as follows:
 
Boolean --> false
int/uint --> 0
Number --> NaN
Object --> undefined
All other types --> null

[flexcoders] Re: tileList displaying items order other than that represented by dataProvider

[Alex]

If I alter the code as follows:

  public function get thumbLabel(): String {
  return data.name;

to 

  [Bindable]
  public function get thumbLabel(): String {
  return data.name;

I get the following compiler warning:

  [Bindable] on read-only getter is unnecessary and will be ignored.

Ignoring the warning and running anyway exhibits the same (incorrect)
behavior.

FYI: the name of the data item has not changed, the data is itself
static. Only the sort order has changed. Something seems to not be
being reset to cause the tileLists's renderer to pick up the change in
order in all cases; some icons are in the right order, others are not.

[flexcoders] Re: Creating tooltip for datagrid column header(s)?

[chuyler1]

Try defining the component in-line instead. You also don't want to use
the ToolTip component because you still need to display the header
text.  Instead, just use a Label component and set the toolTip string
for the label like so...


  

  

  
  

  


  

  

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Datagrid Renderer not showing updated ArrayCollection

[Alex Harui]

My rule is: don't use Bindable unless you absolutely need it.  It adds
overhead to your application.  You'll get warning if you try to bind to
something that isn't bindable and then you can decide how to deal with
it.

 

I use [Bindable] in prototypes, but I would use it more sparingly in
real apps.  In the framework, we always use [Bindable(event=...)] so we
have full control over all the code.  If you did that, then you have to
write more code, but you can fully see what is running and opt-in to
having change detection or not.

Thank You! That fixed it. Are there 'rules' to follow about when/if
things need to be bindable? I've been using the [Bindable] tag pretty
often. Should I not use it until it seems like something is not working?

Thanks again,

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Two way binding

[Tracy Spratt]

A few problems:

When you assign the result from the server to the xml model, it will
overwrite the entire xml.  So you can't bind the form elements to the
dynamic model using binding braces.  I don't think.  You might test that
though.

 

Then, selecting an item in a ComboBox does not automatically save the
selectedItem to anything.  You will either need to manually update the
appropriate xml element or attribute in a change handler function on the
Combo, or as Douglas K. suggested, you can try using the Binding tag.
But since you are replacing the model with data from the server, I don't
think that will work.

 

I'd go with a straight update of the xml from change event handlers.

Try removing [Bindable] from the data setter.  I don't see where you are
using it, and it autogenerates change detection logic that may prevent
your setter from running since the comparision is done by reference

Here is the code for the renderer. I extend Label and add a
dataProvider to make it act like a combobox, so that I can specify an
index to show. That way it doesn't look like a combobox when it

[flexcoders] Re: Datagrid Renderer not showing updated ArrayCollection

[j_lentzz]

Thank You!  That fixed it.  Are there 'rules' to follow about when/if
things need to be bindable?  I've been using the [Bindable] tag pretty
often.  Should I not use it until it seems like something is not working?

Thanks again,

John

Mark, the dataGrid is merely a visual means of viewing / editing the
data held in the dataprovider. I usually loop through my dataprovider
(arrayCollection in my case)and generate dynamic sql queries to
saving/reading/updating data.

Alright. Is the following correct: 

Inside of a model I have it nodes bound to form items. In the form I
have it items bound to model's nodes, and xmlmodelvar = event.result as
XML will pull data into the model as well as show int in the form's

[flexcoders] Re: Datagrid Renderer not showing updated ArrayCollection

[j_lentzz]

Here is the code for the renderer.  I extend Label and add a
dataProvider to make it act like a combobox, so that I can specify an
index to show.  That way it doesn't look like a combobox when it
renders.  I'm not doing anything special to look for a change, just
implementing what I thought was necessary.

public class LabelWithDownArrow extends Label
{

private var _dataProvider:ArrayCollection = null;

private var _prompt:String= null;
private var defaultPrompt:String  = "Select Item...";
private var _selectedIndex:int = -1;

public function LabelWithDownArrow()
{
super();
}

public function set dataProvider(value:ArrayCollection):void {
_dataProvider = value;
}

public function get dataProvider():ArrayCollection {
return _dataProvider;
}

public function set selectedIndex(value:int):void {
_selectedIndex = value;
}

public function get selectedIndex():int {
return _selectedIndex;
}

public function set prompt(value:String):void {
_prompt = value;
}

public function get prompt():String {
return _prompt;
}

override protected function updateDisplayList(w:Number, 
h:Number):void {
super.updateDisplayList(w-15, h); // subtract from 
width to allow
for down arrow

var g:Graphics = graphics;

g.clear();

// add arrow to box
// Draw the triangle.
g.beginFill(0x00); // black
g.moveTo(w - 11.5, h / 2 + 3);
g.lineTo(w - 15, h / 2 - 2);
g.lineTo(w - 8, h / 2 - 2);
g.lineTo(w - 11.5, h / 2 + 3);
g.endFill();
}

// method used to change what is displayed
[Bindable]
override public function set data(value:Object):void {
super.data = value;

if (listData != null && dataProvider != null) { 


// now iterate through dp to find a matching

Thanks. Mike.

I know how to use mx:RemoteObject .

My question is how to get all the data from datagrid and pass it to 
mx:RemoteObject .Thanks

There are many ways to do this, and no single best way. I would
suggest looking at the mx:RemoteObject tag for starters. You could
send ColdFusion a typed "RemoteClass" object that directly corresponds
to a CFC, a generic object, an array, a string of data, etc.

One thing to experiment with is the ColdFusion plug-in to FlexBuilder,
which gives you these wizard features that create all the CRUD code
for you. You will probably find that the wizard-generated code needs a
lot of tweaking, but it is a good way to get started. If you were
hoping for some built-in magic where you just data-bind the grid to
the server, similar to what ASP.NET does, you will be disappointed.
You need to write the SQL and CFC at some point, although the wizard
helps.

Good luck,
MIke Chabot

[flexcoders] displaying the results of a UNION query in Flex DataGrid

[Mr Greg Murnock]

Can this be done in a Flex 2 DataGrid?  anything I need to be aware of?  
Currently returning results via Remote Object as an Array from CF.

Alex,

the value:Object is not intended to be used. It will be an event if 
called by Alert window, null if no argument passed. It's just a 
workaround to maintain current usage (no arguments) but accept 1 
argument of any kind.

RE: [flexcoders] Datagrid Renderer not showing updated ArrayCollection

What does the renderer look like?  How will it detect changes to the

Subject: [flexcoders] Datagrid Renderer not showing updated
ArrayCollection

 

Hi,

I've got a datagrid with a custom renderer. I'm not editing in the
datagrid, but when a row is selected, I populate some TextInputs and
ComboBoxes to let them edit the data. When they are done, I use
itemUpdated on the datagrid ArrayCollection. This seems to work just
fine. However, after they edit the data, it isn't being updated in
the datagrid. I can select a different row, then select the original
row and the new data appears in the edit locations, but only the old
data is displayed in the datagrid. I've tried all the invalidateXXX
methods I could find, but nothing seems to get the datagrid do display
the new data. Also, I can set a breakpoint, examine the
arraycollection the datagrid uses, and the correct data is present -
just not being displayed. What do I need to do to get the datagrid to
be forced to used the arraycollection and update all the
itemrenderers? I'm using 2.01, would Flex 3 be better?

Thanks,

John

 

RE: [flexcoders] Re: tileList displaying items order other than that represented by dataProvider

I don't see any [Bindable] metadata, so I would expect you  to get
warnings in the console about binding to thumbLabel and the renderer
won't know that data.name changed.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: tileList displaying items order other than
that represented by dataProvider

 

Posted a response to another responder in the thread...

I have vastly simplified the application source to focus on the
problem and what I find is that my itemRenderer for the tileList view
if coded as follows works showing the expected sort in both views:



If coded as follows (as I want, so that I can override the renderer
and provide a different attribute other than 'name' for a label) the
issue with incorrect sorting in tileList view arises:



where the following is also defined

/**
* Retrieve the label to be used for the thumbnail
* associated with each data item. This method may
* be overridden in a derived class to customize
* the icon label associated with the thumbnail
* for each data item.
*/
public function get thumbLabel(): String {
return data.name;
}

Is there a solution which will allow me to provide the string to be
displayed via a function? The intent is to be able to override the
thumbLabel function in an itemRenderer derived from this 'base'
itemRenderer class for cases where the dataset displayed uses an
attribute named other than 'name', for example an override might
simply return data.title or even conditionalize the string returned
based on other data attributes.

As I suggested the source for this entire simplified application is
now something that I could provide as I've boiled it down
substantially. The above issue is however the crux of the problem in
both the simplified sample and the original application.

Thanks for your continued assistance.

PS: The tileList is defined as follows

Ok, so just using a popupmanager, size it to cover the component and

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Two way binding

[Tracy Spratt]

The simplest is to declare an instance variable typed as XML:

var _xmlEmployee:XML;

Then assign the event.result as XML in a result handler:

_xmlEmployee = event.result as XML;

 

If you want to use the declarative style, do:



 

And in the result handler, do:

xmlEmployee = event.result as XML;

Re: [flexcoders] Save data from datagrid to database?

[Mike Chabot]

There are many ways to do this, and no single best way. I would
suggest looking at the mx:RemoteObject tag for starters. You could
send ColdFusion a typed "RemoteClass" object that directly corresponds
to a CFC, a generic object, an array, a string of data, etc.

One thing to experiment with is the ColdFusion plug-in to FlexBuilder,
which gives you these wizard features that create all the CRUD code
for you. You will probably find that the wizard-generated code needs a
lot of tweaking, but it is a good way to get started. If you were
hoping for some built-in magic where you just data-bind the grid to
the server, similar to what ASP.NET does, you will be disappointed.
You need to write the SQL and CFC at some point, although the wizard
helps.

Good luck,
MIke Chabot

RE: [flexcoders] Two way binding

[Tracy Spratt]

But don't use mx:Model, that creates the nested dynamic object structure
I mentioned.

 

Use mx:XML, or use an instance variable typed as XML, and assign it in a
result handler.

With DataGrid it is pretty clear: dataProvider. But with form? It 
does not have such a dataProvider property (Which is in my opinion it 
should have). So, what's a solution for that? DataModel? Which it 
turn does not have dataProvider either. But it does have a source. 
Source of what? Data? Ok, let's stick to dataModel. But then I am 
reading that it's better to use class-based models. Here is an 
example of class-based model form Help:
package
{

[Bindable]
public class ShoppingCart {
public var items:Array = [];

public var total:Number = 0;

public var shippingCost:Number = 0;

public function ShoppingCart() {
}

public function addItem(item:Object, qty:int = 1,
index:int = 0):void {
items.splice(index, 0, { id: item.id,
name: item.name,
description: item.description,
image: item.image,
price: item.price,
qty: qty });
total += parseFloat(item.price) * qty;
}

public function removeItemAt(index:Number):void {
total -= parseFloat(items[index].price) * items[index].qty; 
items.splice(index, 1);
if (getItemCount() == 0)
shippingCost = 0;
}

public function getItemCount():int {
return items.length;
}

public function getTotal():Number {
return total;
}
}
}

Two questions:
1. How the data is getting into a picture here?
2. How am I using this model in my mxml file?

Sorry if I am asking something obvious, but I am just having problem 
understanding why data-centric environment does not have a straight 
way of binding data both ways. All I would want is to assign a data 
source to my form and then specify data fields for each control in 
the form. Simple as this. Is this possible in Flex? 

Thanks

I've managed to fix this (after much deleting and undoing and redoing).
The problem was a missing ";" on one line. Strangely, the contents of
the code had been copied from another file where it worked just fine. I
have a feeling the line below this one was [Bindable]. But I'm not sure
why that would make a difference.

[flexcoders] Unwanted arguement?

[candysmate]

Focus can be a real pain, as we all know.  

I have a function which re-focuses a datagrid so:

private function staffGridFocus():void
{
salesStaffGrid.setFocus();
salesStaffGrid.selectedIndex = gridSelectLine;
editStaffCell = {columnIndex:0, rowIndex: gridSelectLine};
salesStaffGrid.editedItemPosition = editStaffCell;
}

no arguements are expected or required.

After my user saves data to MS SQL 2005, via Janus, I alert them that
the action has been completed with:

Alert.show("Staff data updated", 'Information:', 0, this,
staffGridFocus, informationIcon);

However, I get a runtime error:

ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on
main/main::staffGridFocus(). Expected 0, got 1.

I'm  *guessing* that the Alert windows's closeEvent is being passed as
an arguement to the function for some reason.

How can I prevent this, or have you guys any other ideas please?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Actionscript - Canvas.addChild() - objects overwritting eachother???

[Mark Ingram]

You would normally only need to do something like this:

var myVBox:VBox = new VBox();
this.addChild(myVBox);

var textBox1:TextArea = new TextArea();
myVBox.addChild(textBox1);

var textBox2:TextArea = new TextArea();
myVBox.addChild(textArea2);

Mark,

I've tried VBox with the same results.  How do I "auto-arrange" the
children so I don't have to worry about the Y coordinate?  I'de like
to just call addChild() for all of my components.  I tried the following

var myVBox:VBox = new  VBox();  
myVBox.setStyle('backgroundColor', '#FF'); 
myVBox.autoLayout = true;
myVBox.creationPolicy = 'auto';

What am I missing?  Is it because I'm creating the VBox control in
actionscript instead of in the mxml code?

Thanks

[flexcoders] Strange compiler error

[Mark Ingram]

I'm getting this error:

 

"1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: ."

 

Note: It doesn't give me a type at all. Sometimes when I jig around the
import statements it gives me the error in the generated actionscript.
But I've checked that and the error is usually on the last "}".

 

 

Has anyone come across this before?

 

Mark

[Johannes Nel]

have you tried dispatching the collection_change event from the array
collection?

[flexcoders] Datagrid Renderer not showing updated ArrayCollection

[j_lentzz]

Hi,

I've got a datagrid with a custom renderer.  I'm not editing in the
datagrid, but when a row is selected, I populate some TextInputs and
ComboBoxes to let them edit the data.  When they are done, I use
itemUpdated on the datagrid ArrayCollection.  This seems to work just
fine.  However, after they edit the data, it isn't being updated in
the datagrid.  I can select a different row, then select the original
row and the new data appears in the edit locations, but only the old
data is displayed in the datagrid.  I've tried all the invalidateXXX
methods I could find, but nothing seems to get the datagrid do display
the new data.  Also, I can set a breakpoint, examine the
arraycollection the datagrid uses, and the correct data is present -
just not being displayed.  What do I need to do to get the datagrid to
be forced to used the arraycollection and update all the
itemrenderers?  I'm using 2.01, would Flex 3 be better?

Thanks,

John
