Subject: [flexcoders] Grabbing data dynamically from XML
Hey everyone!
got another small issues... this is the last thing i need to fix to
finish my project :-).. what im doing is creating a map that will
allow you to click on a state and using PopUpManager, display data
from that state (the data resides within an xml file).
right now on each click, i run clickState=createPopUp(). the
createPopUp functions runs and initializes the http service to grab
the xml file. in the result handler.. i have it grab the data for the
state. the problem is, i cannot figure out how to make it dynamic so
that when u click on one state it grabs the name and then uses the
name to grab the data from the xml file. for example, right now it
always grabs event.result.venuelist.michigan but i want it to grab
event.result.venuelist.stateName so its dynamic (or something like
that). i think what i need to do is pass a variable with the selected
state through the createpopup function and call it in the
resulthandler.. is that right?? Thank you so much for the help!!!
Here is the result handler that grabs the info from the xml... here i
just set it to grab the data for michigan to make sure it was working..
public function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
/* var icon:Object = map.target.selected.name; */
arrcol = event.result.venuelist.michigan as ArrayCollection;
dg.dataProvider = arrcol;
Here is the code for creating the popup... i tried to use
this.selectedItem.name to grab the name of the state but it didnt
work. i did it in an alert box to test if it was grabbing the name.
public function createPopUp():void {
var icon:Object = this.selectedItem.name;
var state:String = icon;
Alert.show(state, 'Alert Box', mx.controls.Alert.OK);
getXML.send();
PopUpManager.addPopUp(panel, this, true);
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(panel);

Set the tree's height by calling measureHeightOfItems() From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of gaurav1146 Sent: Sunday, May 11, 2008 4:58 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Tree with adjustable height and without scroll bar Hi, I have a certain structure where I have some components in a VBox. The components are formed dynamically and are used for taking user input.One of the components is a Flex Tree with checkboxes. The problem that I am facing is that the flex tree has a specified height and stands out from other components due to spacing between the tree and the next component. Secondly when the user expands a node a scrollbar appears on the flex tree. What I want to achieve is that the tree height should be adjusted based on the expand/collapse state of its nodes. Also no scrollbar should appear on the tree. If at all there is a space issue the tree should expand to fit in all it nodes and the other components in the VBox should move accordingly. And The scrollbar should only appear for the VBox. Setting verticalScrollPolicy=off for the tree did not work as the the nodes that were further down in the tree did not appear on the screen at all. Any suggestions on how could i achieve this would be greatly appreciated. TIA gaurav

[flexcoders] How to get 0 point on secondary vertical axis to line up with primary axis
Hi, I have a chart with 2 vertical axes (both LinearAxis types). The scales are different on both vertical axes, but I'd like the 0 point on each axis to line up. The primary axis can go negative, so I just can't start both at 0. However, I'd like the secondary axis to have its zero value label line up with the primary axis. Right now, because of the offset, if you're not careful, the second axis can look like it is plotting negative values too. The only way I've come up with is to try to determine the number of ticks and use the tick interval of the primary vertical axis to try to artificially create a minimum value for the second axis.

Re: [flexcoders] Drag and Drop (modify default dragProxy)
Hi Douglas,
thanks for the reply - yeah that's pretty much what I have at the moment (I
capture the data on MouseDown and create/display a Label on MouseMove), but
I thought it could be a little cleaner and so I was hoping I could access
the current dragProxy, use the existing data within it, all within the
MouseMove method.
This is what I currently have:
//Capture the row data when the user clicks on an item...
private function dropZoneMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var selectedData:XML = DataGrid(event.currentTarget).selectedItem as
XML;
_lastSelectedName = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
_lastSelectedAge = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
}
private function dropZoneMouseMove(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var dragInitiator:IUIComponent = event.target as IUIComponent;
var dragSource:DragSource = new DragSource();
var dragProxy:Label = _dragLabel;
dragProxy.text = _lastSelectedName ++ _lastSelectedAge;
DragManager.doDrag(dragInitiator, dragSource, event, dragProxy);
}

Re: [flexcoders] Drag and Drop (modify default dragProxy)
I think if you wanted to modify the default drag proxy you could subclass
DataGrid and override the get dragImage function, which looks like this (in
Flex 2.01)
override protected function get dragImage():IUIComponent
{
var image:DataGridDragProxy = new DataGridDragProxy();
image.owner = this;
return image;
}
You could subclass the DataGridDragProxy and then add your labels or
whatever else you wanted, and return a new instance of that class in get
dragImage

[flexcoders] Drag and Drop with data grids
Hi I am VERY new to Flex. What I am trying to do is Drag an item from a data grid and if a flag is Yes then I need to have that item being dragged to be dropped on two data grids rather than just one data grid. Is there any way to do this? I need to to append to what is already in the data grids it is being dropped on.

[flexcoders] How do you all setup your development environment?
Hi all, I would like to get an idea how people setup their development environment. Let me share a bit of how I set it up (this is still work in progress, btw): IDE: FlexBuilder 3 with Ant Build Tool plugin. Workspace: My app is consisted with multiple modules. Each module is in its own project, and each project has its own Ant-build script. Project configuration: Each project's builder only points to Ant-build script so that I can ensure the Ant-build script will also run smoothly in the Build server. For production release: Use a build server that runs the Ant-build script. Feedback: Pros: - Please see 'Project configuration' section. Cons: - Sometimes if there's any build error, my compiler won't stop at the error. It will just continue to execute other Ant-build script. - And if the compiler stops on an Ant-build due to an error, I don't have the luxury to be able to go directly to the file that causes the error because the error output is just a text on the Console. With so much trouble that I encountered by using Ant-build script on my FlexBuilder, I am thinking to revert back to Flex-build on my FlexBuilder but still building using Ant-build script on BuildServer. I appreciate for any feedback, thx.
RE: [flexcoders] binding quandary
That is one way.
You can also directly update the model in a change event.
I prefer to call into a single update function, passing in the property
name and value, so that I can do things like compare data to toggle tool
buttons an menu options.

Subject: [flexcoders] binding quandary
Hi.
I have a master detail setup with a list of sites in the master section
and individual sites in the detail section.
In the detail section I have a form and I want to bind the form field
values to the current site object.
When I click on a site object in the master component, the 'set'
function in the details component sets the site and pulls the
particulars for that site from the server.
I handle that server call (still in the details component) and copy the
site values from the database into the site object.
The form fields in the details component are bound to the site object
using '{}'.
Now when I alter the fields the changes are not reflected in the site
object.
The fields are bound to the site object so they should change when the
site object changes.
However when the fields are changed the changes are not reflected in the
site object and I have to manually update the fields to get this to
work.
I expected the binding to work both ways. Apparently not. Is this
correct.
Should I set binding programmatically and then set them both ways, like
so?
BindingUtils.bindProperty(siteObject, selected, checkboxField,
selected);
BindingUtils.bindProperty(checkBoxField, selected, siteObject,
selected);
Can anyone shed light on this and suggest a recommended way of doing
what I want to achieve.
Thanks.
Kind regards.

Right now in my mx:State I have defined: mx:RemoveChild .../ mx:RemoveChild ../ mx:AddChild ... mx:DataGrid... /mx:DataGrid /mx:AddChild anyways...is there a better or nicer way of handling such things? I'm just curious because it seems like a bunch of work referencing these components all over the place. Just curious on how it might be done better. Thanks in advance.
RE: [flexcoders] Drawing letters -- sprites?
Not really. TextField is the only way to get text. I suppose you could generate a bitmap from a textfield and copy character, but that's a lot of work. You only have to use createInFontContext if you have multiple SWFs and are embedding fonts in different SWFs. Otherwise, generate a TextField and set its textFormat.

The components are formed dynamically and are used for taking user input.One of the components is a Flex Tree with checkboxes. The problem that I am facing is that the flex tree has a specified height and stands out from other components due to spacing between the tree and the next component. Secondly when the user expands a node a scrollbar appears on the flex tree. What I want to achieve is that the tree height should be adjusted based on the expand/collapse state of its nodes. Also no scrollbar should appear on the tree. If at all there is a space issue the tree should expand to fit in all it nodes and the other components in the VBox should move accordingly. And The scrollbar should only appear for the VBox. Setting verticalScrollPolicy=off for the tree did not work as the the nodes that were further down in the tree did not appear on the screen at all. Any suggestions on how could i achieve this would be greatly appreciated. TIA gaurav

is this what you are after? The key is to call textFormat on your text.

label.y = 0;
label.width=10;
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

format.underline = false;
format.bold = true;
label.defaultTextFormat = format;

RE: [flexcoders] Drag and Drop (modify default dragProxy)
It isn't the DragProxy you want to change, but probably just the
dragImage handed into DragManager.doDrag. The place to do that is in a
handler for DRAG_START where you call preventDefault() so the default
dragImage isn't used. You can also subclass and override dragImage.

Re: [flexcoders] Refactoring a complete package ( renaming com.a.Foo to com.b.Foo )
If you have a *nix environment, you can do this fairly easily with a bit of sed and a few mv commands.

Doing this with sed is a little dicey, since you're doing text substitution instead of real refactoring, but I don't believe we had any problems after the conversion.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Item Renderer using popup to edit datagrid - How to refresh datagrid?
Are you getting your updated value from the pop-up back into the item
renderer? Are you assigning the changed value to the item's appropriate
property in the renderer?
If so, then you may need to call dp_ac.itemUpdated(item) to make the DG
refresh. Do that in the renderer through the listData object, or by
using Application.application to reach the main app's scope, where the
dg_ac var lives.

[flexcoders] Authentication against a RESTful web service
Hi all - I have written a RESTful web service using Java (Jersey). I would like to have write a Flex 3 front end to make use of this service. What is the best way to have my Flex 3 login page authenticate against my web service? I have been trying to use Basic Authentication with the HTTPService and URLLoader, but there have been a lot of recent security changes with the flash player that have made this very difficult. And before I go down that road any further, I thought I'd step back and ask the more generic question of what is the best way to get authentication done? At this point, I'm thinking of 'best' defined as, moderate security that I can implement in a couple of days. Thanks to everyone (or anyone!) who responds.

Yes, I'm familiar with Modules. During an adobe screen cast about the Flex Component Kit, someone popped a question about dynamically loading Flex Components compiled in Flash, the answer was to use modules. I can't get this to work though!! :( So here's what I've tried: STEP 1 Compile a SWF module which includes the SWC file exported from Flash (it works as expected when compiled as an application). STEP 2 In a second Flex application with a ModuleLoader tag, I set its url to the SWF module from STEP 1. I'm strill trying to get this work but Am I going in the right direction? Other suggestions?

[flexcoders] how to lookup a component with only a string id
I am looking for how to access components when all I have is its id string.
In one experiment, shown below, for instance, I have a repeater to build a set
of buttons
from an array collection. When clicked, I want to select a particular component
in the
application. If I pass the id of the component in the arrayCollection, I get a
reference of
null, though I notice that in a regular array, I can pass the id and use it
throughout the
application.
Is there some way to access the particular component with only a string
reference for its
idsomething like Application.application.component.id? Or must I run two
arrays, using
the index of the button clicked from the repeater, and using that index to
select from
another array of containers (e.g. containers = [copper, purple, red, magenta,
gold]. Or am I
on the right track below, but need to structure the original array differently,
so that it can
hold a pointer to the component? Or must I code the reference values inside a
custom
button and, during the repetition, use the event.target to collect those values
from the
custom component to use in the eventhandler.getRepeaterItem() method?
I am not sure what header subject to look under to answer these questions. I am
pretty
sure I can simply test the string and, in a switch statment, get to the
container, but I
would like to understand what the possible tools are and under which heading to
search to
study more about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: [flexcoders] Working with modules
Yes, or build a shell app that loads the module. BTW, while modules are smaller and faster than sub-applications, they are also more tightly bound as the must use interfaces to communicate with the loading application.. This means that, over time, as your application grows, if your app is comprised of modules, you'll probably need to recompile all of them if you move the main app to a later version of Flex. The same may not be true of sub-applications. While they are fatter, it may be possible in a future release of Flex to make it so they have no tight coupling to the loading application and thus, if your app is comprised of sub-applications, you won't necessarily have to recompile every sub-app. Of course, none of that truly matters now as in order to break tight-coupling we'll probably require that you re-compile all of your pieces as sub-applications on that future version of Flex so you are protected as you go forward. It is unlikely that anything you compile in the interim will work with future versions of Flex. But I wanted to warn you and anybody else who cares that the future of handling applications where it is impractical to recompile everything onto a single version of Flex is probably going to involve sub-applications and not modules. -Alex From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nate Pearson Sent: Monday, May 12, 2008 2:18 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Working with modules I'm building an application with multiple modules.

Thanks for the response guys.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Sending data to the Server
Make sure your classes adhere to AMF serialization rules. You need public
get/set accessors for each property.
You can also use either of the following config settings for your
channel-definition on the server to further debug any problems with
de/serializing your custom types.
channel-definition ...
...
properties
serialization
ignore-property-errorsfalse/ignore-property-errors
log-property-errorstrue/log-property-errors
/serialization
You could use either (or both); when ignore-property-errors is false, an
exception is thrown when a property can't be handled rather than just being
ignored (the historic default to match player behavior).
When log-property-errors is true, you'll get a warning logged on the server
when a property is ignored. If you enable this, add Endpoint.* to your log
category filters to see these.

RE: [flexcoders] Authentication against a RESTful web service
Aside from auth challenges, in case you're not aware, the Player can not issue PUT, DELETE or HEAD requests due to limitations in the browser APIs that it uses for HTTP support, as well as security considerations. Setting request headers also presents some challenges due to security issues, and response headers are not available in the browser players.

[flexcoders] Memory leak in UIDUtil.createUID()

i ran the following simple application in flex builder 3 profiler

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Working with modules
What I was trying to get at is that the last step where you flip the top tag from mx:Application to mx:Module would be skipped. It would remain an application. In the loading app, you would not use ModuleLoader and use SWFLoader instead. There is no restriction on the sub-app being in the same project as the main app, but if you choose to do so, you are correct that it should be a one-time thing. The scary part will be the way you will have to code communications between the sub-app and the main app for anything shared like data, networking, managers, etc. We're still working out the details.

BTW, while modules are smaller and faster than sub-applications, they are also more tightly bound as the must use interfaces to communicate with the loading application.. This means that, over time, as your application grows, if your app is comprised of modules, you'll probably need to recompile all of them if you move the main app to a later version of Flex. The same may not be true of sub-applications. While they are fatter, it may be possible in a future release of Flex to make it so they have no tight coupling to the loading application and thus, if your app is comprised of sub-applications, you won't necessarily have to recompile every sub-app. Of course, none of that truly matters now as in order to break tight-coupling we'll probably require that you re-compile all of your pieces as sub-applications on that future version of Flex so you are protected as you go forward. It is unlikely that anything you compile in the interim will work with future versions of Flex. But I wanted to warn you and anybody else who cares that the future of handling applications where it is impractical to recompile everything onto a single version of Flex is probably going to involve sub-applications and not modules. -Alex From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com ] On Behalf Of Nate Pearson Sent: Monday, May 12, 2008 2:18 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Working with modules I'm building an application with multiple modules.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Memory leak in UIDUtil.createUID()
The profiler does not always account for strings correctly. You may be
seeing the results of that. The true test is to run the test in the
release player and automatically generate UIDs and see if memory usage
grows over time.

That doesn't seem to work for me when I put it in the additional compiler options box under project properties.

[flexcoders] Firefox causing problem with showing of a custom component; works well with IE
I have developed a simple custom component with canvas as the container. I use this component in my main application and run it in Internet Explorer it works perfectly. It has scroll bars at application level and enough space that the component need not get partially hidden at the bottom due to lack of space. On viewing this in Firefox, the lower part of my custom component becomes invisible. On making the Firefox browser full screen with other tabs opened in the same browser, the application cuts less than what it did when it was doing while it wasn't full screen On opening the same flex page in Firefox in full screen mode, the complete custom component is visible as such. I played a lot by increasing the height of the component but it still remains same. The application works well with IE and opera. what could be done for that?
