No they shouldn't. We run an application with similar amounts of modules (though bigger in size) without too many problems.

Re: [flexcoders] Child items in custom component
sure you added your '_nodeContainer' Sprite to the display list?
On 5 May 2008, at 16:34, Weyert de Boer wrote:
Hello!
I am currently a bit clueless regarding using Flex components. I am
currently trying to port a .NET component to Flex. Only I have some
problems. In a simplified form the problem is that I am trying to add
childs to the component. The idea is to use public method to add nodes
to the component. The code could be:
var node: MyNode = new MyNode();
node.width = node.height = 125;
myComponentInstance.addNode( node );
The addNode-method is basically contains:
public function addNode( node: MyNode ): void {
_nodeContainer.addChild( DisplayObject(node) );
invalidateDisplayList();
}
The _nodeContainer is a Sprite class which gets created in the
overriden
createChildren-method. Now I would be expected that the MyNode-
instance
(which just draws a simple rectangle 125x125) would be shown. Sadly
enough, this is not the case.
Does anyone know what should be done to get this working?

[flexcoders] Re: How do I add a header or additional post parameter to a RemoteObject Request
The only way I see to do what you want is to delve into sockets but
this would be a very difficult proposition.
I still think you are better off putting all your data into a generic
object (Or better yet, a VO) and pulling it out on the server. This
will give you a lot more flexibility in the future (If you need to add
another parameter, it is very simple to do so) for a bit of extra
effort to rewrite your accessor methods.
Maybe someone else here has an idea?

1. Open Southwest - Nevada.

What's happening here is that after clicking submenu, an editor will

3. Go back to the browser.

1) I've read the book Programming Flex 2 from Joey Lott and Chafic Kazoun, it helped me very much. They have published a flex3 version that seems valuable too. 2) using flex builder instead of free sdk is easier because there are a lot of helpers.

Re: [flexcoders] itemUpdated() functionality for XML properties?
I believe I've seen XMLChangeWatchers used in generated source to listen for attribute changes, etc, on XML data. I think the DataBinding chapter of the Flex developers guide claims you can only bind to XML attributes and changes in MXML, but at some point it gets compiled to AS. On Mon, May 5, 2008 at 12:28 PM, Tracy Spratt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a bindable data model implemented as a singleton, several properties of which are implemented as XML. My app uses binding and ChangeWatchers to respond to changes in this XML data. If I assign an entire xml to one of these properties, the property change is dispatched and my bindings fire and my watchers are called. But if I update an item in the xml, like set and attribute value or text node, it APPEARS that the events are not dispatched. This is unsurprising, as it is analagous to updating an item property in a Collection, for whichitemUpdated() method exists. First, is the behavior I am seeing is expected? I know that XML dispatches ordinary events that fire bindings, but those events are notgetting out of my model instance. Second, if the behavior is expected,is there some similar itemUpdated() functionality for XML? Tracy
[flexcoders] FlashVars CF issue
Hi, I've set up my project so that when I hit Run or Debug my swf gets published to a location on a development machine (rather than to the local bin folder(s)) While the swf gets published to the correct location, my problem is that, by default, Flex generates an HTML wrapper to go with it. However, the original HTML wrapper (i.e. the one on the remote machine) contains FlashVars which I need to access. My initial thought was to open up the Debug Dialogue/Run Dialogue and swap the url/path to point to the original html. The problem is that the original html wrapper is actually generated from a ColdFusion file, and pointing to the ColdFusion file directly doesn't work of course. Is there a better way of of working like this with FlashVars, or do I simply have to fake an html file with some FlashVars hardcoded? Any feedback much appreciated. Hopefully I've worded this post clearly enough to make some sense! (if not, I've added a little more detail below). Cheers, Neil MORE INFO In the Flex Build Path settings I have set my Output Folder to be Z:\wwwroot\project\folder and my Output URL to be http://devMachineName/folder/ By default, the Debug Dialogue for the Flex project specifies the html wrapper as: http://devMachineName/folder/ProjectName.html The swf is actually wrapped in some HTML which is generated by a ColdFusion file (and this contains FlashVars). The CFM is at Z:\wwwroot\project\folder\ProjectName.cfm *
[flexcoders] What are the analogous properties of Event Audio Play back and Stream Audio Play back in FLEX 3.0 vs. Flash?
I'm a very proficient ActionScript 2.0 programmer still learning to reach the same proficiency in ActionScript 3.0 So I wanted to ask anyone from Adobe or any other flexcoder experts out there: What are the analogous properties of Event Audio Play back and Stream Audio Play back in FLEX 3.0 vs. Flash? That is, in Flash, the stream method has been very good at ensuring the syncing of audio with visual animations, even if it has to skip frames, while the event mode simply plays. I'm interested in capturing spectrum data in an event type mode (that's what it would be called in Flash) in FLEX 3.0 Then, I'm interested in playing back in a stream type mode (again referring to traditional Flash mp3 terms), that skips frames if it has to, to keep up with an accurate alignment of animation in a play-back mode. Some may ask, why not just use computeSpectrum --- well I would be in the pre-processing, but in the playback, my requirements are necessary to play back in stream mode (once again a Flash term; so if I'm ignorant of the audio in ActionScript 3.0 forgive me). So that in playback mode I'm not using computeSpectrum, but simply looking up in cell Index (or time Index) what the spectrum data would be that I had saved in pre-processing mode. I'm creating a Logic Studio 8 Audio Unit and I want to ensure that I have a couterpart in FLEX 3.0 that can demonstrate some of what I'm trying to do. -r

[flexcoders] SWFLoader Object and Panel
Hi All, I am new to Flex, so please bear with me. I can load my swf sucessfully into both a SWFLoader and Image Component, and both as a static file and binary. My problem is when I render it in my panel, if the SWFLoader or Image component is smaller than than the panel, it floats on top (and is much larger than the panel itself - it actually goes larger than the canvas. If I make SWFLoader or Image component a little larger than the panel, it is contained in the panel, but with scrollbars (and this is not a desired behavior). Like I said, I am need, so it is probably something stupid I am doing. Any advice or a point in the right directions would be much appreciated. I am using Flex 3 Builder. Thanks.
[flexcoders] Custom renderers - need help
I am still having problem understanding how to do some things with
custom renderers.
Here is a scanario (The code is simplified):
There is a HBox. That would have a few children:
public class columnHeaderCheckBox extends HBox
{
public function columnHeaderCheckBox()
{
super();
}
override protected function createChildren():void
{
super.createChildren();
var leftSpace:Spacer = new Spacer();
leftSpace.width = 2;
addChild(leftSpace);
checkBox = new CheckBoxHeaderRenderer();
addChild(checkBox);
var title:Label = new Label();
title.text = Set;
addChild(title);
}
}
CheckBoxHeaderRenderer is an extension of a checkbox.
I am setting a custom renderer for a header like this:
setOrderHeaderRenderer = new ClassFactory(columnHeaderCheckBox);
Gridreceiving.columns[4].headerRenderer = setOrderHeaderRenderer;
So far so good.
But what if I want to run some code on one of the children of
columnHeaderCheckBox before it actually is shown? To make it more
generic? So it might check for its parent and adjusts itself
accordinally. Thus my question is, how can I execute a method of the
child checkBox while a renderer is getting set to the header?
I am kind of stuck with that.
Thanks for any help.

RE: [flexcoders] Learning flex !
I think the best way to learn is to have some reference book that you either read or reference when needed. Then have a real project in mind, and try to write it, when you get stuck ask questions, refer to your book, search google, use this list etc, you will make a lot of mistakes, but you will learn a lot also. Once you get to the end of this project, you will feel confidant that you can take this to more complex projects.

[flexcoders] Design Choices and best practices for using RTMP/AMF over HTTP/XML communication
Hi, I am new to flex/RIA. I am exploring different design choices especially in client server communication. On client side we will be using Flash based RIA (using Actions scripts). There will be some simple forms (like for login, registration, payments etc) and some simple reports including with several graphs and charts. Each chart might have 1000 to 1500 data points etc. There are not video or audio content as such. On server side we have Servlets, java API and some EJB's to provide the business logic and real time prices/content (price update is usually every 10 seconds) /data. Some of the content will be static as well. I have following questions in my mind. Is it worth it to use RTMP/AMF channels for the followings? 1. For simple forms processing (Mapping Actions scripts classes to Java classes). Like to display/retrieve/update data for/from registration forms. a. If yes, why? Am I going to be stuck with LCDS? Is it worth it? What could be the cons for heavy usage/traffic scenarios b. If not what are the alternates? Should I create the web services? Or only servlets are sufficient (ie. Only HTTP+Java based server side with no LCDS+RTMP+AMF)? All forms need to communicate on secure channel. 2. For pushing the real time prices/content which we may need to update every 15 seconds on user interface using graphs and charts. Can I do it with some standard J2EE/JMS way with RIA (Flex) on front- end? i.e. Flash application will keep pulling data from some topic. Data can be updated after few secs or few minutes which can't be predicted. 3. Are there any scalability issues for using RTMP? What happens if concurrent users increase 10 times within a year? 4. What are the real advantages of using RTMP/AMF instead of simple HTTP/HTTPS probably using xml based objects 5. Do I need to use LCDS if I am using AMF only on client side? Basically I mean if I am sending an object in form of xml from a servlet. Can some technology in Flash (probably AMF) in client side map it an Action script object? 6. What are the primary advantages of using LCDS in a system? Is there any alternate solutions? Can I use some standard solutions for data push technologies? I would like that my server side implementation can be used by multiple types of clients e.g. RIA browser based, mobile based, third party software (any technology) etc. I appreciate if you can kindly refer me to some reading materials which can help me deciding the above. If this is not the right place to post this message then please do refer me to the place where I can post such questions. Thanks and Kind regards, Jalal

[flexcoders] Re: Bind to Dynamic Component or Panel
I am on the path of creating an associative array with reference to
the objects (which is this case is a datagrid).
However I can't seem to figure out how to update the data provider
when a new message is received from my source. Here is how I create
the GUI dynamically.
CONFIGARRAY gets populated from a DB query. I then loop through
creating a panel with a datagrid. At the end I add the panel to the
canvas for display.
Can someone advise how I could reference the datagrids to bind new
data to them when a message is recieved from the server. This step
would obviously occur based on an event listener.
Basically what I need to do is say something like (if message contains
msgType1 then send the message to datagrid1)
Here is the gui creation code:
for ( var i:int = 0; i CONFIGARRAY.length; i++)
{
var panel:SuperPanel = new SuperPanel();
var datagrid:DashBoardADG = new DashBoardADG();
datagrid.percentHeight = 100;
datagrid.percentWidth = 100;
datagrid.id = CONFIGARRAY.getItemAt(i).Panel_Name;
datagrid.dataProvider = dataFeed;
panel.title = CONFIGARRAY.getItemAt(i).Panel_Name;
panel.showControls = true;
panel.enableResize = true;
panel.width = 400;
panel.height = 150;
panel.x = X;
X = X + 410;
panel.y = Y;
//
if (panelcounter 2) {
Y = Y + 160;
X = 0;
panelcounter = 1;
}
panelcounter++;
panel.addChild(datagrid);
PANELARRAY.addItem(); //ADD something for reference to datagrid
this.MAIN2.addChild(panel); //MAIN2 is a canvas
}

I would instead advise that when you create the child, you place a

Use that reference to access public members, add event listeners, etc.

Oscar,
Thanks for that. That is basically exactly what I needed. The one
problem I am running into is that I want my panels to be only 3 wide
on the page and I have 12 entries in the DB. So I am creating a
page 3
panels wide and 4 panels down.
To do this I create a new HBOX every 3rd Panel.
so I need a way to figure out which HBOX the panel is in. Then I
can do
HBOX3.getChildByName(My Panel)
The way I am starting to do this is by creating an array collection
that keeps the Panel Names and the childIndex for the HBOX and the
Panel.
What would be nice is if you had a Canvas and and it didn't matter
how
many levels deep the panel was (i.e the panel had a global bindable
name)
Then you could do Canvas.getChildByName.
I can post code if that doesn't make sense.

[flexcoders] PlotSeries plots on baseline when it shouldn't, anyone else have this issue?
Is anyone else getting this? Anyone know any workaround or
resolution?
The issue is that the PlotSeries plots on the zero line of my chart
when there is no data to support it. In my example the chart should
only render one plot on the graph, it renders one correctly and then
others appear at the baseline of the cartesian chart. These other
ones do not have any coinciding xml to warrant a plot on the graph.
Interesting note: When I add 1 to each of the values in the xml then
this issue does not appear, but can not have that as a workaround.
(ex: So the value was 0.92, I made it 1.92) May be value base with
code when the values of the collection is n? (Just thinking out
loud).
Expected Results:
One plot on the chart and no plots on the baseline.
Workaround (if any):
None

[flexcoders] Cartesian vs ColumnChart Issue
Does anyone know of an underlying reason why a column chart would display the second vertical axis and not a cartesian chart? I have a mixture of mxml and actionscript I use to create a chart. If I have the chart as a ColumnChart, the second axis appears just fine, but the mixture of columns and lines don't line up properly. If I change nothing but the chart type to Cartesian, the columns and lines are centered properly, but the second axis is no longer visible. Has anyone else seen this or know what causes it? Thanks, John

[flexcoders] Re: Adding/Removing child components
Tom and Tracy both have good suggestions. However, I'd recommend using any of the List based controls, with an itemRenderer, instead of using a repeater. Unlike the Repeater component, which instantiates all objects that are repeated (no recycling), the List based controls instantiate only objects visible in the list. I dont know where I am missing it, but I am only able to remove the lines from the bottom of the stack Your problem is with this line: myAcc.removeChild(vBoxes.pop());. Here you are using the array method pop; which always removes the last element in an array. While the removeChild method works here, since the value of the removed array element is returned from pop, this is kind of a backwards way of controlling the displayList. There may be some confusion here about collections (data) and the display list (components). While you can certainly create an array and/or arrayCollection of components, it's much easier to create and maintain a List based control; with an arrayCollection of data bound as the dataProvider.Then, as Tom indicated, use the built-in ArrayCollection methods to add/remove the data; and the display automatically adjusts. All that you have to do is something like: myACC.removeItemAt(myList.selectedIndex) ; -TH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tracy Spratt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, unless you have some special needs, using Repeater for your dynamic instantiation will save you a lot of work.

RE: [flexcoders] SWFLoader Object and Panel
There is no clipping unless there are scrollbars. Why are your swfs being placed outside the Panel?

I can load my swf sucessfully into both a SWFLoader and Image Component, and both as a static file and binary.

[flexcoders] Re: Adding/Removing child components
Wanted to clarify that when I say (no recycling), I'm refering to itemRenderer reuse with the same set of data. The recycleChildren property of a Rpeater does allow for the re-use of children; when a new data is used. -TH In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tim Hoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Tom and Tracy both have good suggestions. However, I'd recommend using any of the List based controls, with an itemRenderer, instead of using a repeater. Unlike the Repeater component, which instantiates all objects that are repeated (no recycling), the List based controls instantiate only objects visible in the list. I dont know where I am missing it, but I am only able to remove the lines from the bottom of the stack Your problem is with this line: myAcc.removeChild(vBoxes.pop());. Here you are using the array method pop; which always removes the last element in an array. While the removeChild method works here, since the value of the removed array element is returned from pop, this is kind of a backwards way of controlling the displayList. There may be some confusion here about collections (data) and the display list (components). While you can certainly create an array and/or arrayCollection of components, it's much easier to create and maintain a List based control; with an arrayCollection of data bound as the dataProvider. Then, as Tom indicated, use the built-in ArrayCollection methods to add/remove the data; and the display automatically adjusts.

[flexcoders] Re: Learning flex !
I've found Adobe Flex 3: Training from the Source by Tapper et al. to be useful. I also like Flex Solutions by Casario. Flex 3 in Action is available via Manning's Early Access Program. I've learned some things from it but, as you'd expect with early access, a lot of rough spots remain. Don't overlook the Adobe documentation -- it's really pretty good, albeit poorly organized, IMO. http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/index.html seems to be a root for all the Flex 3 material but note that I say seems to be. I'd say an ActionScript book is a necessary adjunct and Essential ActionScript 3.0 by Moock seems to be widely regarded as the best AS3 book at present. But what I'd really like to see is a Flex book that assumes knowledge of all the basics and instead goes into depth, and seeks to provide some real insight. It seems like there are N books on Flex that take the reader to roughly the same first plateau of understanding. I want a book that goes from the first plateau to the second.
[flexcoders] Adobe Help Please: Expired License Hell
Greetings - I'm a licensed owner of FlexBuilder 3.0 Pro (Upgrade version) which was installed and happily running on my Mac G5 Tower. On day two weeks ago or so when I launched Flex Builder it told me that I was in trial mode and that I had x days left. I reentered my license numbers, which it accepted, but every day since then I get the trial message and today it expired, my valid license numbers have no effect, the application does not work, it appears to be running but doesn't display files, etc. Seems to be stuck mind body and soul in a spurious trial mode. I have uninstalled and re-installed repeatedly to no effect. Talked to about 20 different Adobe Tech Support reps, etc. Any ideas?
[flexcoders] Re: NumericStepper goes nuts. Who to stop it?
So, change event comes if you do enabled = false/true.
Here is the description from docs: Dispatched [change event] when
the value of the NumericStepper control changes as a result of user
interaction.
I always though that user interaction means clicks and keyboard input.
Does it mean that NumericStepper overreacts on it's own property change?
Thanks!

[flexcoders] Socket receive limit
Working with the AS3 Socket class, I'm trying to connect to a .NET socket server. I can establish the connection and send and receive data successfully, but if the data from the server-side is greater than 1260 bytes, the packet gets severed. However, this isn't always the case... My packet is variable in size, and the largest one so far has been 4466 bytes, the smallest under 200. On the first try, I was able to receive all 4466 bytes. However, on the subsequent tries, Flex is only loading in 1260... I know the server is sending all 4466 bytes because I am tracing out the amount of bytes written to the socket after sending (the asynchronous Socket.EndSend method in .NET returns the number of bytes written after sending data across a socket). Here is my trace: INFO: [StatusCommand.execute] Polling server with info object INFO: [ServerDelegate.pollServer_socketConnected] Socket connected! INFO: [ServerDelegate.pollServer_socketDataReceived] Socket data received! [4466 bytes received] INFO: [ServerDelegate.pollServer_socketClosed] Socket connection closed.

INFO: [ServerDelegate.pollServer_socketClosed] Socket connection closed. Right now it's an XML string inside the packet that I'm reading, which is why I need to have the whole packet. =) Is there a limitation on the number of bytes that the AS3 socket can receive? Is there any known bug that would cause this problem? Thanks in advance...

I installed FlexBuilder in a non-admin account, but the install to FlexBuilder attempts to put the license in a directory that only an admin account can access. I don't have access to this machine at the moment (home machine) so I can't look up the license location. What I had to do was create an adobe license directory and the license file with my license key. Once I did that I was able to run FlexBuilder 3.0 without having to continually enter the license.

The module loaders are childs of a panel that can be draggable and resizable, with a maximize and a close button... So if the user choose to open N modules at the same, N modules will be displayed... A problem might be that by rule, the modules have tons of bindings... Each component have at least one binding to it's correspondent value in the modelLocator, and each component that have a dataProvider have at one more binding...

RE: [flexcoders] Is this possible?
Yes, in this case it would be worth getting our language accurate. Flex is a client-side technology, and does not run on a server. The swf executes in a Flash Player instance hosted in a browser. Except for security sandbox issues, it is irrelevant what server serves the swf. If you run a Flex app on a server, that server is really a local client, and the Flex app has no more functionality than it would from any remote client. That simplifies this question to: Can Flex upload and delete images on a server. The answeer is as Luciano says, yes, but you must have some server-side functionality to do it.

[flexcoders] Re: Datagrid sort order: is there a natsort() such as in PHP?
You have to do a sortCompareFunction, ala
mx:DataGridColumn dataField=number
sortCompareFunction={sortOnNumber} /
and then create something like:
private function sortOnNumber( obj1:Object, obj2:Object ):int
{
if( obj1[number] obj2[number] ) {
return -1;
}
else if( obj1[number]
obj2[number] ) {
return 1;
}
else {
// They are equal so do
another col sort if you want
if( obj1[ID] obj2[ID] ) {
return -1;
}
else if( obj1[ID]
obj2[ID] ) {
return 1;
}
else {
return 0;
}
}
}

This is sort order on some strings:
1
10
11
2
21
23
This natsort order on the same strings:
1
2
10
11
21
23
In short, it deals sanely with a numeric string suffix. Anything like
that in Flash/Flex out-of-the-box?

[flexcoders] itemRender Debug Warnings
Since implementing some itemRenderers, I've been getting warnings, in Debug mode, that read like this: warning: unable to bind to property 'display' on class 'Object' (class is not an IEventDispatcher) From what I've been able to find on the www, is that this is related to setting RemoteObject results to an array, like this: myAC.source = event.result as Array; Question is, how to I do this correctly to prevent all those warnings?
[flexcoders] Re: Strange behavior
I see. I am looking into your blog to find the answer but I can't
find it. Could you please help me to understand what do I do with
recycling problem?
Thanks alot.

Subject: [flexcoders] Strange behavior
I am trying to implement a checkbox as a headerRenderer:
public class CheckBoxHeaderRenderer extends CheckBox
{
private var _parentGrid:DataGrid = new DataGrid();
public function CheckBoxHeaderRenderer()
{
super();
selected = true;
addEventListener(click, clickHandler);
}
override protected function clickHandler
(event:MouseEvent):void
{
super.clickHandler(event);
parentGrid.dataProvider[0].processorder = 10;
}
public function set parentGrid(value:DataGrid):void
{
_parentGrid = value;
}
public function get parentGrid():DataGrid
{
return _parentGrid;
}
}
That works fine except that when I click on a checkbox it does not
lose it check mark. Commenting out:
parentGrid.dataProvider[0].processorder = 10;
will resore checkbox's behavior. What am I missing?
Thanks
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Strange behavior
If you look at the comboboxheaderrenderer example you'll see that it
always pulls its data from the column so the renderer can be recycled or
recreated. It does not store state within itself

RE: [flexcoders] itemRender Debug Warnings
Neither Array nor Object are bindable, they do not dispatch the necessary events. Wrap your Array in an ArrayCollection. One other cause of this warning is when you have a bindable object that you reference through a property typed as Object, as with selectedItem, currentItem, data, getRepeaterItem(), etc. In that case you can convert or cast the Object to the true data type to prevent the warnings.

[flexcoders] Re: Strange behavior
But I am using checkbox (is that what you meant?) in the header. Does
it have any kind of data to base the checkbox's state on?

[flexcoders] Re: itemRender Debug Warnings
Thank you for the reply Tracy!
So instead of adding the items to the list as an Object I
should..?
var objDG:Object = {itemID: myID, index: myAC[myID].id, display:
gridDisplay, toolTip: tipText};
myList.dataProvider.addItem(objDG);

[flexcoders] Re: Adding/Removing child components
--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tim Hoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Tom and Tracy both have good suggestions. However, I'd recommend using any of the List based controls, with an itemRenderer, instead of using a repeater. Unlike the Repeater component, which instantiates all objects that are repeated (no recycling), the List based controls instantiate only objects visible in the list. However, if you know that the most likely use case is that the repeater will not be showing enough items to cause scrolling, you may want to consider this: http://flexdiary.blogspot.com/2008/04/is-horizontallist-faster-than- hbox-with.html

Hello, I'm looking for the source code of a large application such as http://flex.org/showcase/ Anyone can gimme a hint how is done ? I think would be extremely beneficial to the community if such source would be available. I'm joining RIA word from the lame world of request-response where the approach is different.
