RE: [flexcoders] Memory Profiler - Memory Snapshot does automatically runs garbage collector?

[Andrej van der Zee]

In the documentation that ships with Adobe it sais
that it runs the GC before taking a snapshot. But it
also mentions that it is not guaranteed that all
unreferenced objects are freed when the GC is run
(manually or before a snapshot). A bit misleading
functionality I would say!

[flexcoders] Re: FB3 Web Services - complex types?

[mailamannow]

(@above i believe this problem is similar to your problem...)

although my os is Windows XP, i also made a test WS on Java to accept
two integers and return their sum and deployed it on axis inside tomcat.

On calling this WS from flex, the sum of two integers is returned
successfully, but on sending another pair of  numbers to the web
service, the web service returns a complex object, containing the
actual result.
for e.g., if i initiate my flex application and pass numbers as 3 and
2, i get result 5 directly, but, if, i pass another number set say 4
and 8, in the same session, what is returned from the web service is
not 12, instead a complex object containing 12 somewhere in it.

...a similar problem to the one posted above... what could be the reason?

[flexcoders] Re: LCDS - Rollback in dataService doesnt work

[Shailesh Mangal]

We finally figured out the issue, here is quick description

Problem:
Object Graph:
 A -(1 - many) -- B -- (many to 1) -- C

Each of these object has a corresponding assembler with relationship
defined in data-management-config.xml. Say - AA, BA, CA
In UI, I have Corresponding DataServices say AS, BS (there is none for C
as C get fetched as part of B)

If There is a change made on object C, the change is not collected by AS
or BS (although they show commitRequired = true). Rollback on AS and BS
doesnt do anything.

Solution:
 create a dummy* dataService corresponding to assembler CA and call
rollback on it.

RE: [flexcoders] graphics object seems to degrade performance

[Alex Harui]

Flash/AIR are vector display list renderers.  If you give it tons of
vectors to display, it will take a while to render them.  This is quite
different from bitmap renderers like Windows.  There are advantages and
disadvantages to each.

 

If I were writing such an app, I would probably take a snapshot every
once in a while and draw on top of the recent snapshot.

Subject: [flexcoders] graphics object seems to degrade performance

 

Hi,
I'm writing an AIR app that uses a scribble type component. In a 
nutshell, just uses the graphics lineTo() method to draw a line from 
the current location to the new position of the mouse on a mouse move 
event.

I have noticed that after scribbling for a bit (maybe 30 seconds), 
the mouse movement tracking is impaired and my scribbling which once 
resembled smooth circles, starts to look like octagons, hexagons, 
pentagons...eventually trianglesyou get the picture. The 
frequency which the application picks up the move events is reduced 
so the smooth tracking turns to noticable lines. The graphics object 
appears to be bogging down the application and mouse event frequency 
as the number of lines in the graphics object increases. It doesn't 
take long to degrade.

I tried out the flex profiler and didn't show any significant growth 
in memory over this scribble period. I tried a scrible application 
from Andy Rayne's scribble board 
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/arayne/
  and it behaves exactly the same

way. There is no scaling, zooming or manipulation of the graphics 
lines at all. I'm assuming they're just pushing points onto an array 
but haven't looked into the source to confirm how this type of class 
behaves.

Has anyone experienced this kind of degradation with a graphics 
object and if so, have you figured out what's going on?

 

[flexcoders] Re: lcds / fds release collection problem

[Kevin]

I have had similar problems releasing collections.  In fact, i have
for now abandoned the practice since it was taking a fair amount of
time and CPU on the client to complete.  My problem is that I am
paging in a large collection of 5000 objects.  Using autoSync = true I
can get the objects very quickly from dataservices, but then I want to
release them at some point (which takes a while) so they stop
responding to server push calls.  I could create my own paging
parameters and figure a different way to fill these objects, but for
now, I am just doing it this want am keeping the objects managed on
the client.  It would be nice to have a quicker way to release objects.

[flexcoders] FB3 Web Services - complex types?

[carljmosca]

I am seeing a problem importing a web service which returns a complex
type.  The web service was developed on OS X using Eclipse WTP Axis
1.4 Java 1.5.0_13 and is running on Tomcat 5.5.

There are compilation errors in the WS generated code.

I created a simple web service (it accepts and returns a String) using
the same environment and this works OK (the generated code contains no
compilation errors and the web service works as expected).

I have entered a bug in the Adobe bug database but I have not see a
reply yet.

What experiences have others had with web services which return
complex types?

I did add the comman line parameter into the .actionScriptProperties

 If the -o option is left out, a Main.swf file is generated named

Thoughts anyone?  Thanks for the help.

[flexcoders] Discrepancy between Video Players built with Flex and Flash

[shivkxr]

Anyone using Flex to build a video player?
Have you compared Full screen mode with a video player built using 
Flash?
Do you have issues with the full screen poping up on the wrong monitor 
(as compared to video players built using Flash).

I'd like to hear from you and compare notes.

RE: [flexcoders] Mp3 player causing 40% CPU power

[Shiv Kumar]

It's not the file size of the video that makes the difference but rather the
bitrate at which the video is encoded.

 

Our site supports HD video but we have to cut down the bitrate quite a bit
(losing the HD ness of the video).

[flexcoders] need help capturing focus in a variable or using event to capture current target

[Teresa Howington]

Hi everyone,

I'm relatively new to Flex, and need help with targeting. I'm creating
an app that has multiple text areas, shape, and image objects. I want
the user to be able to click on one of these, have it show that it's
"selected", and then use the control buttons I make to manipulate the
objects, like changing font, rotating, etc.

I'm using this Flex snippet from
http://blog.paranoidferret.com/index.php/2007/08/14/flex-snippet-tutoria\
l-using-the-textrange-class/
   but trying to avoid hardcoding the
target.

Look at this snippet in particular:

[flexcoders] Reinitialize a renderer

[cesarerocchi]

Hi guys,

to save some memory, instead of adding and deleting, I use a fixed number of 
renderers, 
which I add to a vertical box.
My problem is the "reinitialization" of the single renderer, that is set to "" 
my text fields and, 
sometimes, delete some children added previously to a container.

I tried to call mycontainer.removeAllChildren() on different events:

- remove
- removed
- removedFromStage

nothing works?

Am I missing anything? which event should I exploit?

Thanks in advance,

[flexcoders] Having trouble understanding how to access a component from ActionScript

[tomaugerdotcom]

Hi! This is my first post. I hope I don't come off as too clueless, but then 
again, I am pretty 
clueless.

I'm trying to figure out a best practice framework, and in the process, am 
running into 
some pretty big gaps in my understanding of the interaction between what is 
being 
displayed (in  my mxml page) and the code that can manipulate that content.

I am using the code-behind technique because it seems to suit my philosophy of 
keeping 
presentation separate from functionality, but that's not what I'm writing about 
here. Below 
I have two examples, one working, the other one not. I'm trying to figure out 
what it is 
about the second example that makes it not work.

Here's the first example. First the MXML code:





http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; 
xmlns:dform="com.tomauger.dform.*"
backgroundGradientColors="[0xdd, 0x8d5454]"
backgroundColor="0xCC"
horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="center"
viewSourceURL="./dform.mxml">   












This is a multiline, non-editable text component. 
If you need an editable multiline component, use TextArea.












---
notice that I'm using the mx:Application as my "hook" into the code behind, 
which is found 
below:
// Main.as
package com.tomauger.dform {
import mx.core.Application;

import mx.events.FlexEvent;
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.controls.Text;

public class Main extends Application {
public var text01:Text;

public function Main() {
trace("launching Main");
addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, 
initApplication);

}

protected function initApplication(event:FlexEvent):void {
trace ("Main application initialized");
text01.text = "This is a test";
}
}
}

The goal here is to change the text of text01. It works as expected. 

Now, here's the second MXML file:




http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
xmlns:dform="com.tomauger.dform.*"
backgroundGradientColors="[0xdd, 0x8d5454]"
backgroundColor="0xCC"
horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="center"
viewSourceURL="./dform.mxml">   











This is a multiline, non-editable text component. 
If you need an editable multiline component, use 
TextArea.












---

As you can see, I've gone back to the standard mx:Application control, and I've 
transferred 
my code-behind to the mx:Panel control instead. I'm doing this because 
philosophically, I 
think this is a more accurate representation of how I want to be able to 
control the 
elements on my page. Regardless, here's the code behind dform:Panel

// Panel.as
package com.tomauger.dform {
import mx.containers.Panel;

import mx.events.FlexEvent;
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.controls.Text;

public class Panel extends mx.containers.Panel {
public var text01:Text;

public function Panel() {
trace("launching Panel");
addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, 
initPanel);

}

protected function initPanel(event:FlexEvent):void {
trace ("Panel initialized");
text01.text = "This is a test";
}
}
}

Here I get an error - apparently text01 is not yet initialized. At least that's 
how I'm reading 
this error :  Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

So I'm curious about why this is the case? Does the Text that is contained by 
my Panel not 
have to be initialized (created) in order for the Panel to trigger its 
creationComplete event? 
My understanding is that a panel is only created once all its child components 
are created. 
Is that not correct?

How would YOU access the text01 child component of the Panel from within this 
custom 
class?

Thanks in advance for your feedback! I hope I'm posting to the correct group.

Tom,
Toronto

[flexcoders] understanding TitleWindow garbage collection

[Aaron Miller]

Hello,

I just started playing around with the Flex 3 profiler and I noticed that
every time I open a pop up window, the number of instances keep increasing.
I was aware that I had to remove any event listeners when closed, but is
there more to it then that? I am worried because I have quite a bit of
custom window components, most of which reference various singleton classes.
Are these references keeping the window from being garbage collected? If so,
would it be enough to destroy the references like this?

private var myAuthUser:AuthUser = AuthUser.getInstance();

on close:
myAuthUser = null;


Is there anything else I need to be careful of when using TitleWindows?


Thanks for any input!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Module Interfaces and Events

[Alex Harui]

My point was that while I can answer questions about how modules work, I
am not the person to explain how code hinting interfaces work.  I've
never even looked to see if it did work because I really don't create
that many module projects, I just own the internals of how the work.

 

I actually went and asked the FB QA folks before answering, and they
thought it should work.  I finally took the time and tried it and it
doesn't work and they verified that it doesn't too so I think you're out
of luck.

RE: [flexcoders] Mp3 player causing 40% CPU power

[Shiv Kumar]

Sajid,

 

No answer but I'd like to add that I find the same problem.

 

When flash player is downloading data (mp3 audio, flv video etc.) the CPU
utilization goes really high. Further, when playing back videos and
downloading at the same time PCs can't handle it.

 

The same video played back using Windows Media or Silverlight uses only 30%
for downloading and playing simultaneously.

[Todd]

Just drop the Cairngorm.swc file into your Flex 3 project lib folder

BTW, I'm pretty sure Cairngorm actually references Flex specific
things, like the IResponder, so it's not that it's only Actionscript
3, like the person above suggested.  Its only referencing interfaces
that haven't changed from Flex 2.

(Someone who knows the innards more can chime in, I'm just using it.)

Hi,

 

Using that subtraction, you will have to wait to flex redraw the screen
(waiting the frame rate next step), after the redraw, it will update the
height properties of the objects, so it may take a couple of frames for that
update...

 

Using the bottom="0" you arent acessing some other properties, so, could be
faster...

 

Teorically, shouldnt be. As internally, flex its suppose to use the height
atribute of the parent for positions based on bottom constrains...

 

And by the way, you could try to increase the Frame Rate for a better
results, just add that option into the compiler arguments:

 

-default-frame-rate 60

Luciano,

Thanks! That actually fixed the slow motion effect. So I have a solution to
my current problem, but I wonder is something needs to be addressed in Flex?

Hi,

cant you use bottom="0"?



You will not have to do that Math thing... But i dont believe that will
really speed up...

I have a canvas and a few controls within the canvas. On of these is an 
image.

Essentially, what I want is that the image appear towards the bottom of 
the canvas, so what I do is this



This works, except that when the canvas is sized to a different size it 
looks like I have a slow motion effect in place. It takes quite a few 
seconds (3-10) depending on the difference between the old and new 
height of the canvas.

So is there a way to speed this up?

 

[flexcoders] Re: Rotate Button label without embedding fonts

[joan_lynn]

One of our developers suggested putting  a 0-value BlurFilter on the
Button. This puts the button into bitmap mode, which will allow it to
be rotated, text and all.

RES: [flexcoders] Resize very slow

[Luciano Manerich Junior]

Hi,
 
Using that subtraction, you will have to wait to flex redraw the screen 
(waiting the frame rate next step), after the redraw, it will update the height 
properties of the objects, so it may take a couple of frames for that update...
 
Using the bottom="0" you arent acessing some other properties, so, could be 
faster...
 
Teorically, shouldnt be. As internally, flex its suppose to use the height 
atribute of the parent for positions based on bottom constrains...
 
And by the way, you could try to increase the Frame Rate for a better results, 
just add that option into the compiler arguments:
 
-default-frame-rate 60

RE: [flexcoders] Re: HitTest - Sprite and Shape

[Gordon Smith]

> the main application class doesn't receive mouse events

 

To clarify this a bit... It's the root Sprite (the one at the top of the
DisplayObject hierarchy) that doesn't receive mouse events. A Flex
 does receive mouse events; the root Sprite is an
instance of SystemManager and the Application instance is one of its
children.

Turns out the main application class doesn't receive mouse events
(O'Reilly AS3 Cookbook recipe 1.6). Not sure why that is.
The problem in my game was that the localToGlobal call was incorrect.
If you mousedown on a Sprite the event target will be the sprite. If
you mousedown on a Shape, the target will be the parent.

Hi all,

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I wasn't aware of those AS3
libraries. I just want to encrypt password related data for the time
being, as I figured the data being sent across is not a secret. I
have, though, a records management system for police work, and that
one requires more encryption as the data is very sensitive. It was
originally created using webservices, but we are porting it to
BlazeDS.

I will have a look at the libraries you guys suggested.

Thank you once again.

Fidel.

Application works fine if the user isnt scheduled at another location
during the same time frame.
So the problem HAS to be in the way it's suppose to exit on the Oracle

Has anyone else done anything like that?

RES: [flexcoders] Resize very slow

[Luciano Manerich Junior]

Hi,
 
cant you use bottom="0"?
 

 
You will not have to do that Math thing... But i dont believe that will really 
speed up...

Assunto: [flexcoders] Resize very slow



I have a canvas and a few controls within the canvas. On of these is an 
image.

Essentially, what I want is that the image appear towards the bottom of 
the canvas, so what I do is this



This works, except that when the canvas is sized to a different size it 
looks like I have a slow motion effect in place. It takes quite a few 
seconds (3-10) depending on the difference between the old and new 
height of the canvas.

So is there a way to speed this up?



 

RE: [flexcoders] call a function from a pop up title window.

[joe . g . james]

Thanks , that was helpful. I am still looking to dispatch an event from a 
title window. The mypopup.addEventListener does not seem to recognize the 
event  being dispatched from the title window.

I'm not sure if this matters, but the event is being dispatched when I get 
results back from a remoteObject.

Can I please get some ideas on how to best call a function from a title 
window. So if data is changing in the popup window I can call a function
from the container that opened the window. I have a tried to dispatch 
an event and parent.everything. I'm sure this is simple and I am

[flexcoders] Can a SWF be hosted on server "A" and have access to server "B" which does remoting?

[Mark Lapasa]

On one domain, the .swf is hosted

On another domain, resides Blaze DS server.

User accesses the .swf from the first one so it can take advantage of 
remoting on the other.

The reason for this arrangement is that the place where the .swf is 
hosted not available to install BlazeDS.
Haven't been able to find out in the documentation how to redirect the 
remote object to a different URL.


Help anyone?

Thx,

Chad,

You can do this using FlashVars or QueryStrings.

FlashVars is simpler but requires that your server side includes these 
parameters in the  tag at the time of serving the application.
QueryStrings requires that you have code/class on your application that can 
extract these values.

Have you tried any of these methods?

Because it looks like it does that. 
I have some increase in memory, then the moment I take memory snapshot
it goes down a bit which is the same effect with just running garbage
collector manually.
Otherwise the the memory won't change and the garbage collector won't
kick in by itself.

Re: [flexcoders] filterFunction - blows up when item field blank

[Scott Melby]

1) Can someone explain in words what indexOf does? Obviously it
compares the two and spits out a number, but I just don't fully grasp
what is going on. Why use it instead of just == ?

 - String.indexOf returns -1 if the specified sequence is not found in 
the target string (the one you are calling the method on) and returns 
the zero based index of the position within the target string if it is 
found.  You would use indexOf if you were interested in substring 
(partial) matches.  i.e. so your grid shows all titles with "ch" in them 
without requiring the title to BE "ch".


The problem you are having is that the filter calls methods on both 
title and docNumber without first checking if they are null.  So, if 
either is null you are going to get exceptions.


I would probably re-write that as something like: Note... this code may 
not compile, but should be close :)


public function processFilter(item:Object):Boolean
{
var result:Boolean=false;


//make sure there is a search term
if(term.text != null && term.text.length > 0)
{ 
  //get the search term as upper case

  var searchTerm:String = term.text.toUpperCase();

  //check against the title
  if(item.title != null && item.title.length > 0)
  {
 result = (item.title.toUpperCase().indexOf(searchTerm) != -1);
  }

  //no need to check doc number if title already matched or if there is no 
docNumber
  if(result == false && item.docNumber != null && item.docNumber.length > 0)
  {
 result = (item.docNumber.toUpperCase().indexOf(searchTerm) != -1);
  }
}

return result;
}

Though I may use RegExp and String.search() instead of indexOf...  Check out this 
page 

 for more info on string searches.

1) Can someone explain in words what indexOf does? Obviously it
compares the two and spits out a number, but I just don't fully grasp
what is going on. Why use it instead of just == ?

2) The OR || isn't clicking either. Would I add !item.docNumber.length
as another || to prevent the error when docNumber is blank? I want it
to filter on one or more columns in the dataProvider, but not blow up
if any one of them are blank. If one is blank, it should still filter
on the others.

public function processFilter(item:Object):Boolean
{
var result:Boolean=false;
// If no filter text, or a match, then true
if (!item.title.length
|| item.title.toUpperCase().indexOf(term.text.toUpperCase()) >= 0	 
||item.docNumber.toUpperCase().indexOf(term.text.toUpperCase()) >= 0

result=true;

[Tracy Spratt]

Rarely is this the way to go.

 

You should go through the dataProvider for all data access.  You should
use the dataProvider for all renderer UI updates as well.

 

Your renderers must be updating the dataProvider items or they wouldn't
be working.  So do:

var myComboValue:String = MyDG.selectedItem.myComboValueProperty;

Because it looks like it does that.

Otherwise the the memory won't change and the garbage collector won't

[Aaron Miller]

That is not the correct use of an item editor. Instead, you should set the
DataGridColumn.editorDataField property and listen for the itemEditEnd
event. In your item renderer, you would then create a public getter method
by the same name as the editorDataField to retrieve
cbItemRenderer.getSelectedItem().label. I'm pretty sure you will also need a
getter method to set the correct selectedIndex of the ComboBox.

Here are some examples here:

If you are just trying to get the data from the selected item when the

private function handleChangeEvent(event:ListEvent):void
{
var cBox:ComboBox = ComboBox(event.currentTarget);

var myXML:XML = XML(cBox.selectedItem);

[flexcoders] Custome itemRenderer and properties

[markgoldin_2000]

Here is  fragment of my code to add a custom itemRenderer to ADG 
(simplified):

codeDestinationRenderer = new ClassFactory(destinationGrid);
codeDestinationRenderer.properties = {someSetter:"1234"};
trainSymbolColumn.itemRenderer = codeDestinationRenderer;
ClassFactory(trainSymbolColumn.itemRenderer).properties = 
{anotherSetter:trainSymbolColumn};

My question is about accessing itemRenderer's methods (setters) via a 
property "properties". In a way code is shown first call (someSetter) 
will not be made. If I remove a call to second setter then first works 
fine. Can someone inlight me please on how these setters work?

Thanks

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Data Services (of LiveCycle Data Services)

[Jeff Vroom]

Take a look at the subtopics feature of the Consumer or the
MultiTopicConsumer if you want to receive multiple subscriptions from a
single message stream.   You'd have one destination for the seats as a
whole and probably a separate subtopics for each seat.  If you need to
route messages to players individually, you could have a another
destination for players and a subtopic based on the user's session or
user id.   Subtopics are created lazily the first time someone
subscribes to them and are removed when the last user unsubscribes.

 

Actually, this type of thing is probably easier to do using data
management since that will do all of the subscriptions for you.   In
that case, you'd do a fill to get the list of seats (which would then be
sync'd with the server so as new seats come and go the client would
automatically be updated).   Once you select a seat you'd do a query to
get the view of data for that seat... again that is sync'd automatically
with the server if you leave autoSyncEnabled=true on the DataService.
Each user could also create records for their per-user info which other
users might share by getting a reference to... maybe the seat would have
a reference to public view of the users at that table.

[flexcoders] Re: Any ideas for a Flex strip chart emulator?

[Jim Boone]

Josh,

I was able to make the chart work nicely using a stock LineChart
component and using the cursor from the ICollectionView interface
implementation. I also profiled the code and didn't see any memory
issues (other than what is associated with the ARLabelData class which
is discussed elsewhere). The following are snippets of code that I
used. I hope it helps someone.

// In class definition 
[Bindable]
private var metrics:ArrayCollection;
private var cursor:IViewCursor;
...

// In init function 

// Populate the array with place holder objects
var i:int;
var myArray:Array = new Array(ARRAY_SIZE);
for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE; i++){
  myArray[i] = new MetricsVO();
}

metrics = new ArrayCollection(myArray);

// Store cursor as an instance variable to minimize memory consumption
cursor = metrics.createCursor();

...

// In callback handler
var msg:AsyncMessage = message.message as AsyncMessage;
var data:MetricsVO = msg.body as MetricsVO; 

// Update chart data provider, remove the oldest and add
// the newest data point
cursor.seek(CursorBookmark.FIRST);
cursor.remove();
cursor.seek(CursorBookmark.LAST,1);
cursor.insert(data);

[flexcoders] Actionscript/Flex 3 - Communicating with an itemRenderer from the main applicati

[jeffreyr6915]

I know that if you want to communicate with the main application from
within the itemRenderer component, you have to use "outerDocument"
first...Example:












My question is:
---How do you communicate with an itemRenderer from within the main
application? It seems like the main app does not have scope to the
itemRenderer, because when I add an id attribute to the 
tag, I cannot refer to it...Example:

cbItemRenderer.getSelectedItem().label)


Thanks

[Alexander Tsoukias]

I am trying to create a multiplayer game, in which at first i need to
show a tables list of available seats.

Each table, should be a new destination on FDS server? or am i missing
something here?

If thats the case, how do i automatically create and delete destinations?

(I'm using RTMP - if I was using Flash Media Server, I would create
server side shared objects).

Thanks,
Alexander

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 3 Builder Pro slow with Vista SP1

[Merle Reine]

simple solution, ditch vista as it sucks.  Every vendor from dell, ibm,
etc.  are all offering xp as an alternative because no one likes vista.
Flex 3 on XP works fine, compiles in seconds.

Better yet, get rid of windows and switch to Linux.

It never makes it back to Flex.. I put an Alert() in the onResult() of

There's log.debug()'s all over the place but I can't seem to find

Is there some way I can force an Alert or something in Java?
I want to find where this craps out..

Looking at the code there, you've given ColumnChart a width of 400, so it 
shouldn't be surprising that the axis extends all the way across, should it ?

[flexcoders] filterFunction - blows up when item field blank

[Don Kerr]

I've been using this code below for a long time...but don't fully
understand how it works:) It does work great, as long as both title
and docNumber are not null. But it blows up if docNumber is null.

1) Can someone explain in words what indexOf does? Obviously it
compares the two and spits out a number, but I just don't fully grasp
what is going on. Why use it instead of just == ?

2) The OR || isn't clicking either. Would I add !item.docNumber.length
as another || to prevent the error when docNumber is blank? I want it
to filter on one or more columns in the dataProvider, but not blow up
if any one of them are blank. If one is blank, it should still filter
on the others.

public function processFilter(item:Object):Boolean
{
var result:Boolean=false;
// If no filter text, or a match, then true
if (!item.title.length
|| item.title.toUpperCase().indexOf(term.text.toUpperCase()) >= 0
||item.docNumber.toUpperCase().indexOf(term.text.toUpperCase()) >= 0
)
result=true;

return result;
}

Thanks for the added insight into this borrowed code.:)

[flexcoders] Common cursors

[thirtyfivemph]

I'm always a bit surprised when I'm building a Flex app and remember
that there are no common cursors provided... considering that the web
browser provides common cursors (which those AJAX people get to use
for their RIAs!) and the OS provides common cursors (which those
desktop people get to use for their RIAs!), I'd think Flash could
provide some native cursor functionality.

So, I'm looking to solve that problem and am curious what's worked for
folks...

- I'd love to see Adobe provide a native, common cursors API in a
future Flash Player. Doing cursors within the Flash engine is great
from a flexibility perspective, but its pretty obvious (in many apps)
when the cursor "disappears" over the Flash content and becomes an
in-Flash cursor (affected by the app's framerate, etc.). The big
advantage of native cursors is that they are silky smooth and the user
is guaranteed to be familiar with them (since their the OS's common
cursors).

- In lieu of Adobe providing a native cursor API, there's obviously
the DisplayList-based cursor API. For that API, I'm curious if anyone
has a good source of common cursor SWF/GIF/PNGs? Sure, I could go grab
some from the web somewhere, but I figured there was an "official" set
of images somewhere that's used by open-source products like Firefox
or used by the Linux crowd... googling "cursors" is fairly frustrating
with all the MySpace-nausea animated GIFs out there.

- I did have a crazy idea of how to get native cursors in Flash, and
I'm curious if anyone has tried this or could suggest its viability
before I start doing the grunt work. If I set the "cursors" CSS style
for my Flash embed (the object/embed element in the HTML), is the
Flash Player going to respect that or override it with its own cursor
management? If it respects it, a possibility would be to call from
Flash to JavaScript and ask it to change the cursor on the embed, thus
getting my native (or at least browser-native, which virtually always
maps to the OS native) cursors...

Any ideas, suggestions, tips, links... all appreciated and welcomed!

Troy.

Re: [flexcoders] How to remove space at the end of line chart when using disabledDays = "[6,0]"!

[Jim Cheng]

It's a Flex 3 charting bug alright.  This was originally reported about 
9 months ago during the beta cycle on the Flex bugbase and was later 
closed by Adobe with a resolution of Cannot Fix for what I believe to be 
a rather spurious reason, see:

https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDMV-963

Contrary to what's reported in the comments on that bug, the problem is 
actually not too difficult to fix provided you have access to the source 
code (e.g. using Flex Builder 3 Pro) and are willing to do a little bit 
of subclassing or monkey-patching to fix the issue.  Read on if you're 
interested.

The basic problem is that the DateTimeAxis class does not correctly 
calculate the total space available for charting when disabledDays 
and/or disabledRanges is enabled.  This is always taken to be the 
difference between computedMaximum and computedMinimum (as seen in the 
transformCache, buildLabelCache and buildMinorTickCache methods).

However, this calculation becomes wrong when there are disabled ranges, 
as it yields a total span that's now too large (not accounting for the 
ranges that have been removed).  The visual consequence of this is that 
the chart now appears to be condensed to the left.

The available space should instead be taken to be the difference between 
computedMaximum and computedMinimum, with the following term also 
subtracted (in the context of the DateTimeAxis class):

   dateRangeUtilities.calculateDisabledRange(computedMinimum,
 computedMaximum);

This additional term accounts for the space that is removed by the 
disabled ranges (or days), and consequently allows the chart's axis and 
elements to correctly take up the full available width.

To make a simple monkey-patch to fix this, you can copy the contents of 
Adobe's DateTimeAxis class into your own class path, doing a search and 
replace on all instances in the file like so (removing quotes and excess 
whitespace for formatting):

Find: "computedMaximum - computedMinimum"

Replace with: "computedMaximum - computedMinimum -
   dateRangeUtilities.calculateDisabledRange(computedMinimum,
   computedMaximum);"

You can also do this as a subclass, but that's somewhat trickier since 
the methods that you'll need to override make references to a number of 
private variables and methods of DateTimeAxis.

As an aside, perhaps someone at Adobe might want to consider evaluating 
this patch for possible inclusion into the Flex 3 Charting codebase.  I 
haven't found any other side effects in testing and my own use of this 
change, and it correctly handles the test case from the JIRA bug listed
at the top of message.

Jim
