Re: [flexcoders] custom event not added

[Josh McDonald]

If you're getting a runtime error accessing Application.application you'll
need fire to clean this up, methinks.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flash USB-API :)

It wouldn't be a bad idea for AIR, but it doesn't look like Adobe are coming
out with much hardware support for AIR.  Your better bet is using something
like Merapi.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Importing SWC Files in FLEX

[anuj sharma]

Hi Danny
Thanks for the reply. That's the confirmation that the list is receiving my
emails :-). Danny I imported swc and I can see that component in the custom
component folder and I can drag to drop in the design view. However When i
compile my application that component is not visible in the browser and
sometimes it gives compiler error

"An internal build error has occurred. Right-click for more information."

I am not sure what's going on . It should be very simple to import flash
shapes and components in Flex but I am new to Flex world which might be
causing such naive errors. Please let me know if you find the solution. I
need to look at SWC file in the Browser while executing the application. By
googling , some folks recommended to check the library path and some say try
to compile the application using command line. Few folks have just reinstall
the whole builder too.
Please let me know if you have found any missing link.
Again I appreciate your help
Thanks
Anuj

Re: [flexcoders] custom event not added

[Josh McDonald]

The only thing i can think of after looking at that is that your controller
(whatever that is) is not part of the display tree? Try replacing
dispatchEvent() with Application.application.dispatchEvent() and see if it
works then.

"Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee."

Re: [flexcoders] custom event not added

[dnk]

It is dispatched like this (in  function in my controller):

dispatchEvent(new GetNewsEvent(GetNewsEvent.GET_NEWS_EVENT, null,  
false, false));

the null is used for an object (if I need to pass data with my event).  
In this particular case I did not.

My actual event class looks like:

package Flexb.events
{
import flash.events.Event;

public class GetNewsEvent extends Event
{   
protected var _data:Object;

public static const GET_NEWS_EVENT:String="GetNewsEventType";

public function GetNewsEvent( type:String, data:Object = null,  
bubbles:Boolean=true, cancelable:Boolean=false ):void
{
_data = data;
super(GET_NEWS_EVENT,true,false);
}

public function get data():Object
{
return _data;
}

}
}

[flexcoders] AIR capabilities

[Josh McDonald]

Hey guys,
Apologies if this is an FAQ but I can't seem to find straight answers via
google.

I'm about to start work on an app, and I'd prefer to use AIR over Swing or
JavaFX - I'm just wondering exactly what capabilities you get on top of Flex
with AIR besides file read/write. Specifically, a few of the following
things:

   - Can I get http response bodies when I get a 500 from a remote server?
   - Can I make http requests other than GET and POST?
   - If not, can I open a socket?

If I can't do any of that, are there plans to allow AIR apps to be Java with
a Flex / Flash UI and some sort of nice communication layer between them? Is
there a third party solution that does this?

Re: [flexcoders] Parsing ISO8601 date

[Josh McDonald]

FYI The parse(Date) method just calls Flex's built in parser and returns
null if the result's no good.

[flexcoders] Re: Center/Shrink To Fit

[Richard Rodseth]

Is there a way to set the scale of a component without triggering
invalidateSize() ?

My initial effort to create a "ScaleToFit" component involved setting
scaleX and scaleY in updateDisplayList. But that results in some
recursion. Perhaps this is the wrong place to set the scale.

I notice that SWFLoader uses a DisplayObject as a content holder, but
my attempts to cast "this" to DisplayObject before setting the
property didn't help - the UIComponent version of "set scaleX" is
still invoked.

[flexcoders] Re: ASP.NET RSS proxy?

[Craig]

I am going to try to use the RSS PHP Proxy on this example...(below)
I am using the Flex3 code to load and parse the RSS files from the Flex3
documentation... it looks the same as most of the code from the
as3syndicationlib that is on Mike Chambers blog (also below).  This PHP
proxy looks fairly simple to implement along with the most of the same
code that I am using now, it skips ASP as a proxy, which I thought would
be the easiest route, but I am not finding a way to use ASP for RSS XML
proxy that has been done and can be easily re-produced and I do not want
to invent a new version of the wheel or in this case a new version of
the Toyota Prius ...

Thoughts and comments welcome.

[flexcoders] Back Button issues . . .

[srieger_1]

Hi All,

I am having an issue with the ViewStack when the user clicks the back
button. The browser takes them back a page however, my Flex
application doesn't recognize the change thus none of my links work on
the previous page. Let me give an example as that sounds confusing.

The user is viewing a page in my application. Lets call it page one.
On page one the user clicks a link to go to page 2. Now the user is
viewing page 2 and clicks the back button to go back to page 1. For
some reason the link to page 2 no longer works. I found if the user is
viewing page 2 and clicks a button or link that use flex code to
navigate to Page 1, anything besides the back button, then the links
on page 2 will work. Below is some sample code of how I am working
with the ViewStack Links and Buttons . . .

Thanks for any help you can offer .. . ..

private function showPage( pageNumber : Number ) : void
{
switch( pageNumber )
{
case (1) :
model.workflowState = ModelLocator.PAGE_1;
break;
case (2) :
model.workflowState = ModelLocator.PAGE_2;
break;
case (3) :
model.workflowState = ModelLocator.PAGE_3;
break;
}
}

public function getView( workflowState : Number ) : Container
{
switch( workflowState )
{
case ( ModelLocator.PAGE_1 ) :
return somePage1;

case ( ModelLocator.PAGE_2 ) :
return somePage2;

case ( ModelLocator.PAGE_3 ) :
return somePage3;
}

return pageError;
}

[Tracy Spratt]

Yes, something is returning HTML to you instead of XML.  At least the
XML is not valid(not XHTML).  This looks like an error from the site you
are hitting.  Are you sure it is an RSS feed?  You will need to wrap
that in a try catch block and handle the html error.

greetings..oh wise list.
my 1st post.

im trying to find a way ( a class/library ) to 
BATCH upload from FLEX using fileReference() to Amazon S3.

is there some code/samples one is kind enough to share that will
automatically via Keys - generate and attach 64-based policies,
signatures, etc.

and would this be easier to do in PHP? 
if so, why? and how?

any advice, direction, and code sharing would be immense.

[Craig]

I did turn on the tracing and de-bugging where I could find it and it
gave the following information.
It highlighted Line 13 below in RED.
However, I can access this RSS feed just fine in a browser. I am running
this from within Visual Studio 2005 not on an actual web server, but I
do believe it simulates a web environment, (though I guess I'm not
sure).

[flexcoders] Re: Very simple - Convert XML => ArrayCollection => DataProvider

[Tim Hoff]

Hi,

Your problem is that you have both items in the dataProvider
referenceing the same object.

Remove

private var authorObj:Object = new Object();

and add:

var authorObj:Object = new Object();

right above:

authorObj.name = author.name;

This will create a new object for each node in the XML.

-TH

p.s. sounds very familiar to a previous post today. :-)

RE: [flexcoders] Re: ASP.NET RSS proxy?

[Tracy Spratt]

Do you control the server? Can you  turn on verbose errors?  That is in
the web.config file.

 

Can you debug the aspx page?  Step through in Visual Studio to see where
the error is.

 

If for some reason you can't do that, comment out all the code until you
get no error, uncomment a line,response.Write("here"), hit the page in a
browser until you find where the error is.

RE: [flexcoders] Help me understand how to manipulate dataProviders

[Tracy Spratt]

Let me say this again, very clearly: Do not use the index of the
datagrid to identify records in the database.

 

Suppose someone deletes record 3 from the DB? The keys will then be
0,1,2,4,5...  When you put that in a data grid you will have:

Key  DGIndex

0  0

1  1

2  2

4  3  WRONG!

5  4  WRONG!



 

Also if the data gets sorted, you are totally screwed.

 

Instead, use the key propertry itself.  Make sure it is in the data
query you use to retrieve the data, and it will be in the selectedItem
object.

var selectedItemKEY:int = adgProducts.selectedItem.KEY;
dataManager.selectProdDataForEdit(selectedItemKEY);

 

But first, what does selectProdDataForEdit() do? 

 

Tracy

Subject: [flexcoders] Help me understand how to manipulate dataProviders

 

After doing some research which consisted mainly of searching through
this forum, I noticed a mantra along the lines of manipulate the
dataProvider, not the controls it populates. It makes sense,
especially since without directly manipulating the primary key of the
very first entry in a database , it will read as 1, while the first
index of a dataGrid will read as 0. Right now, I have a mostly
finished AIR form which serves as a way of maintaining a product
table. The dataGrid's provider is an array collection built from the
results of a select statement. To get to the point I'd like some
assistance in streamlining some things to not onlt help this form, but
others in the application which will use the same data access
functionality. For starters, here's how I update data:
Assume that the first primary key in the very first entry of the

That is what I see from the browser to the web page. I have not gotten

Not always a purist, I'd say that if it works, cool.  Adding un-
necessary event listeners can sometimes effect application 
performance though.  Another .02.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: ASP.NET RSS proxy?

[Tracy Spratt]

What do you see if you hit that aspx page directly from a browser?  You
can get better error reporting that way.

 

I don't see anything wrong, though I would have to verify that outerXML
was a property of XMLDocument.  Might have to get documentElement.

Hey Tracy, this looks pretty easy, I am using ASP.NET with Flex 3.0
and but when I create an aspx page I get an error with the code
below... I don't use code behind and put it on one page and try to
access the page itself. Do I need to access the page some other way
or modify code? the RSS is an example feed, my RSS feeds will need a
variable ie... http://finance.yahoo.com/rss/headline?s=MSFT
  (the
ticker symbol will be the variable).

I am trying to access the feeds through Flex SWF.

Any suggestions?

The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

Here is code

Thanks Tim. That's the code I'd seen before. (but was too lazy to go
look for )

Here's how I accomplished it. A bit different, but it works. Any
comments on this would be appreciated.

Kenny

CODE
==

public function init():void { 
addEventListener("dataChange", handleDataChanged);
} 

private function handleDataChanged(event:Event):void
{
if (data.fn == 'Live')
{
theButton.visible = false;  
}
else
{
theButton.visible = true;
}
}

[flexcoders] Help me understand how to manipulate dataProviders

[bredwards358]

After doing some research which consisted mainly of searching through
this forum, I noticed a mantra along the lines of manipulate the
dataProvider, not the controls it populates. It makes sense,
especially since without directly manipulating the primary key of the
very first entry in a database , it will read as 1, while the first
index of a dataGrid will read as 0. Right now, I have a mostly
finished AIR form which serves as a way of maintaining a product
table. The dataGrid's provider is an array collection built from the
results of a select statement. To get to the point I'd like some
assistance in streamlining some things to not onlt help this form, but
others in the application which will use the same data access
functionality. For starters, here's how I update data:
Assume that the first primary key in the very first entry of the
database has been edited to read as 0 after it was entered so it syncs
up with the dataGrid.selectedIndex property.

//Begins the proceedure to edit a currently existing item when the
edit button is clicked
public function newEdit():void
{
chosenMode = "Edit";
currentState = "Edit Item";
editColumn.visible = false;
deleteColumn.visible = false;
duplicateColumn.visible = false;
this.lblUniqueID.visible = false;
this.rbAll.visible = false;
this.rbBillable.visible = false;
this.rbNonBillable.visible = false;
try
{
var selectedItemIndex:int = adgProducts.selectedIndex;
//Uses another select statement to get the needed information and
passes the results into
//variables which populates the controls instead of an arrayCollection
dataManager.selectProdDataForEdit(selectedItemIndex);
this.lblUniqueID.text = model.editVarOne;
this.txtNewProductID.text = model.editVarTwo;
this.txtNewProductName.text = model.editVarThree;
this.txtNewBarcode.text = model.editVarFour;
this.txtNewUnit.text = model.editVarFive;
this.txtNewQuantity.text = model.editVarSix;
this.txtNewVendor.text = model.editVarSeven;
this.txtNewCost.text = model.editVarEight;
this.txtNewList.text = model.editVarNine;
this.chkNewBillable.selected = model.editVarBool;
this.lblCurrentStatus.text = "Currently " + model.editVarEleven;
}
catch(ex:Error)
{
trace(ex.toString());
trace(ex.getStackTrace());
}
}
private function saveItem(mode:String):void//Differentiates between
whether you want to insert a new item or edit an existing one
{
switch(mode)
{
case "Add_New": insertNew();
break;
case "Edit": editItem();
break;
default: Alert.show("Cannot Determine State","State Unknown")
break;
}
}
//Actually edits an existing item when the save button is clicked
private function editItem():void
{//Takes the information from the controls and sets them equal to
global variables of the same type which
//are then passed into the function which performs the update
model.insertStringOne = this.txtNewProductID.text;
model.insertStringTwo = this.txtNewProductName.text;
model.insertStringThree = this.txtNewBarcode.text;
model.insertStringFour = this.txtNewVendor.text;
model.insertIntOne = parseInt(this.txtNewUnit.text);
model.insertIntTwo = parseInt(this.txtNewQuantity.text);
model.insertNumberOne = Number(this.txtNewCost.text);
model.insertNumberTwo = Number(this.txtNewList.text);
model.insertStringFive = this.cmbNewClass.selectedItem.toString();
model.insertBooleanOne = this.chkNewBillable.selected;
model.insertStringSix = this.cmbStatus.selectedLabel.toString();
model.insertIntThree = parseInt(this.lblUniqueID.text);

dataManager.updateProduct(model.insertStringOne,
model.insertStringTwo, model.insertStringThree, model.insertIntOne,
model.insertIntTwo, model.insertStringFour, model.insertNumberOne,
model.insertNumberTwo, model.insertStringFive,
model.insertBooleanOne, model.insertStringSix, model.insertNewDate,
model.insertIntThree);

cancelOperation();
//Refreshes the datagrid
refreshGrid();
}

What I want is to see if there's an easier way to do this via
accessing the ArrayCollection model.prodMaintData to get the values to
edit as opposed to going through another select statement as well as
some other things that might help. I don't totally understand the
functions associated with the ArrayCollection or at least what needs
to be passed into them to get what I need. Thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] Re: Importing SWC Files in FLEX

[Danny Venier]

Hi Anuj,

 

 

You can try  Import/FlexBuilder/Artwork and point to a swf or swc? 

 

Or..you can add a swc to your project by adding the swc to your project
properties build path. (use project/properties/FlexBuild Path and open the
Library path tab, then add swc.)

 

Not sure what environment you have set up or exactly what you're doing, or
trying to do, but try that, or review the docs again.

[flexcoders] Re: ASP.NET RSS proxy?

[Craig]

Hey Tracy, this looks pretty easy, I am using ASP.NET with Flex 3.0
and but when I create an aspx page I get an error with the code
below... I don't use code behind and put it on one page and try to
access the page itself.  Do I need to access the page some other way
or modify code?  the RSS is an example feed, my RSS feeds will need a
variable ie... http://finance.yahoo.com/rss/headline?s=MSFT (the
ticker symbol will be the variable).

I am trying to access the feeds through Flex SWF.

Any suggestions?

The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

Here is code

Craig

[flexcoders] question for cairngorm with .net webservice?

[markflex2007]

Hi,

I have a question how to pass VO(valuse object) from Flex to .net web 
service. I also need pass object back to flex with .net web service.

I am using framework now. Do you know where I can find a Demo how to do 
this things.

I do not have idea about the data match between .net and Flex.

Thanks a lot for your help.

RE: [flexcoders] Application crash due to Channel disconnected

[Seth Hodgson]

Hi,

What version of Data Services are you using and what Linux distro? I'd suggest 
turning on server-side logging in services-config.xml, with at least the 
Endpoint.RTMP and Protocol.RTMP categories enabled. The RTMP connection between 
the client and server is closing while the client has an outstanding call in 
progress (hence the 'DeliveryInDoubt').

[flexcoders] CSS inheritance?

[Dennis Falling]

I'm trying to find a cleaner way of doing css.  Right now I have a common
border style used frequently throughout my app, and a couple common
container styles (background, padding, width, etc.).  I'd like a way to have
the different container styles reference the border style, instead of
duplicating those values.  Does anyone know if there's a good way to do this
in flex's limited css?  Right now I'm just trying to find the least common
denominators and split those out to separate classes.

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Automation libraries kill my app

[Geoffrey]

I'm trying to use FunFX(http://funfx.rubyforge.org/) to do some
automated testing of our GUI.  I noticed that after I add the
automation libraries to the compiler options of my main project, I can
no longer interact with various parts of the UI using the mouse.  This
includes textinput, textarea, buttons, numericstepper, etc.

I can tab to these controls, but I can not click on them to bring
focus to it.  Very odd.

I've added the libraries in the main project's Additional Compiler
Arguments property under Flex Compiler like so:
-include-libraries "C:\flex-sdk\frameworks\libs\automation.swc"
"C:\flex-sdk\frameworks\libs\automation_agent.swc"

Any thought?

[flexcoders] Re: Question regarding DataGrid

[Tim Hoff]

Hi Kenny,

Just for a little more background info that others may find beneficial. 
You can think of the data object as a single record (or row) in the
DataGrid's dataProvider (dataset).  Every column's itemRenderer in a
DataGrid has access to all of the fields in the record (data object);
regardless of the dataField that is set.  However, since itemRenderers
are recycled, you have to perform any conditional logic in the
itemRenderer's set data function.  This ensures that when the data is
changed, that the itemRenderer will be refreshed with the appropriate
state.  Inside the RollOverButton itemRenderer, you'll have to override
the set data method in script:

override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
 super.data = value;



 if (data != null)
 {
this.visible = (data.fn == "showMe" ? true : false);
 }

super.invalidateDisplayList();

}

Hope that this helps.

Cheers,
-TH

[flexcoders] Issue with PopupButton in full screen

[sudha_bsb]

Hi,

I have an issue with popup button in full screen. I have a
horizontalList in the popup window of the popup button. In Normal
Screen mode the popup window comes up. But in Full Screen mode, the
popup window doesn't turnup. Once u came from full screen mode to
normal mode..even then the popup window doesn't show up.

I am using stage.fullScreenWidth and stage.fullScreenHeight for
changing the bounds of my application.( basically a flv player).

But when I use stage.width and stage.height for changing the bounds,
everything works fine. The popup window shows when u click on the
popup button.

I just want to know the difference between stage.width, stage.height
and stage.fullScreenWidth and stage.fullScreenHeight...and why is it
not able to show popup window when I use fullScreenWidth,
fullScreenHeight.

Please help...

The player is at...

Thanks,
Sudha.

If you have a look in the fabridge/samples/srcview directory you will

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Async Concurrent Requests with AMF for BlazeDS or LCDS

[Seth Hodgson]

Right, only for AMF, and I'm not aware of any documentation on that. If
there was, it would be regarding NetConnection.call(...).

 

URLLoader doesn't do any batching - it just hands off HTTP requests to
the browser to send. But when using URLLoader, you need to be aware that
browsers impose connection limits to a single domain (a recommendation
in the HTTP 1.1 spec) so even there you end up in a pseudo-serial
situation with no direct control over whether requests will be sent
serially or concurrently. You can use CNAME hacks to circumvent this
(ie. Yahoo/Google maps downloading map tiles), but that's quite a bit
more complex to configure and deploy and your app needs to be hardcoded
to know about all your CNAMEs and to know when to use which for what
calls.

 

Our HTTPChannel, which uses URLLoader internally, serializes the
requests it sends to sync up with the behavior of the AMFChannel and
RTMPChannel and try to ensure that requests from the client to the
server have a consistent, expected order (very important for Data
Management).

wrote:

There is a single thread that advances through SWF frames and runs your
ActionScript code and event handlers, but network calls are performed by
separate background threads concurrently.

In order to have calls processed concurrently on the server, they need
to arrive as separate requests. In the case of AMF, if you make a series
of calls quickly chances are good/excellent that the Player will batch
them up and send them to the server in the body of a single HTTP POST.
When this happens, the server must unpack them and process them serially
and then pack the results for all these calls back up in the body of a
single HTTP response. Because we're dealing with a single request and
response, there's no way to send back results for individual calls
separately. When these results get back to the browser and are passed
back into the Player, they are dispatched to your ActionScript handling
code as asynchronous events. There's not a good way to force calls to be
sent as separate requests, and even if you could, browsers impose limits
on the number of concurrent connections they'll open to a server, so
this really isn't the right way to solve your scenario. Also, in the
case of RTMP all traffic between the client and server happens over a
single connection and is ordered serially.

 

If you want to process calls/messages/data asynchronously on the server
the proper way, it requires a bit of work on your part to accomplish at
this point. Rather than running your current logic in your RemoteObject
directly when it is invoked, you need to break that out into a Runnable
class, and when you're invoked, create an instance of this class that
packages up the incoming args and info about the client making the call
and then submit that for asynchronous execution to a
java.util.concurrent.Executor that you'd need to set up during server
startup. Your remoting method could return a job id or just void once it
has queued an instance of your Runnable with the Executor. On the client
when you get a ResultEvent for your call you don't get the actual result
- you just know that your invocation was successfully queued for
asynchronous execution on the server. So the second half of the equation
is how to get the result or fault generated when the Executor runs your
Runnable back to the client. You need to take advantage of messaging in
BlazeDS or LCDS to achieve this. In your client app, create a Consumer
and subscribe to a destination you define that you can publish
results/faults as AsyncMessages back to target clients from your
Runnable. Your Consumer should subscribe to a subtopic that applies only
to it, or use a selector expression. When your Runnable runs and
generates the result or fault to return, you'd can create an
AsyncMessage containing the result of fault info and publish it to this
destination, using either a subtopic header, or some other message
header that will be evaluated against the Consumer's selector expression
such that the message is routed to the proper Consumer. That lets you
return async results or faults to clients in a truly asynchronous
manner.

 

This is actually something I'd like to see us bake into the product
directly. Would one of you on the thread log an enhancement request here
and the rest of you vote for it: https://bugs.adobe.com/blazeds/

No promises because resourcing is always a juggle but lots of people ask
for this, I'd like to see it happen, and your votes matter J

Is there a particular way to place a user in a certain cell?

Like I have a check one one row, and if that check comes back invalid,
I want to place the user back in that cell. If its valid I want the
user to go to the next cell.

A setFocus for a dataProvider is what I'm looking for I guess.

RE: [flexcoders] Populating Datagrid from Database

[Tracy Spratt]

Here is a simple example.  It actually uses a Timer to poll the
HTTPService, but you can ignore that part.

http://www.cflex.net/showFileDetails.cfm?ObjectID=560

 

Also note that if your data is deeply nested in the xml nodes, you may
need to use labelFunction to display it.  There is an example of  using
labelFunction with XML on the same site above.

[flexcoders] Tree node height problem on initial load

[burttram]

I have a component I'm developing to, among other things, accept an
XMLListCollection as a dataProvider (the data is being supplied via a
remote object call, which is why I've elected to extend a component to
handle the reopening /drag&drop, etc).

Best I can tell I've got working great, vice one issue that I just can't
seem to resolve.  Essentially, the first time the component loads it
shows the nodes in the tree at an apparently random height that is
significantly "taller" than what my normal tree node height should be. 
It would appear that the nodes are being spaced evenly across an
arbitrary height of the tree which is greater in height than the "100%"
I've specified for the tree to take up inside it's container.

I've included a screenshot of the behavior here, the left-hand image is
the initial, jacked up state, and the right-hand image is the very same
component instance after the contents are loaded the second time:

[flexcoders] Re: How to run a sample from docs

[valdhor]

The documentation on that page actually tells you:

To run the samples:

   1. Browse to the files found within the
installation_dir\frameworks\javascript\fabridge
   2. Place the src and samples folders side by side on any HTTP server.
   3. Open a web browser to
http://yourwebserver/samples/FABridgeSample.html and
samples/SimpleSample.html and follow the instructions there. Make sure
you access the samples through http:// URLs and not file:// URLs. The
Flash Player security sandbox prevents them from working correctly
when they are accessed as local files.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Async Concurrent Requests with AMF for BlazeDS or LCDS

[Seth Hodgson]

Hi Tim,

Yeah, it's the same issue. With proxied calls though, it's a bit more 
complicated to solve. In the remoting case, your remote object method is 
generally just doing some local computation on the server and maybe hitting a 
database. It's simple to wrap this up in a Runnable and execute it 
asynchronously. In the case of the proxy service, we use the Apache HttpClient 
library to make proxied calls on your behalf, and this would be _much_ harder 
for you to wrap up in a Runnable to execute concurrently.

I'd like to see us support async mode for the proxy service as well as for the 
remoting service, and the proxy service itself should be updated to use NIO to 
support making proxied calls that don't tie up a server thread for the duration 
of the proxy request. Right now, in BlazeDS, because Servlet IO is blocking, 
when you make a proxy service call that hits our server the servlet request 
handler thread has to wait for the proxy request to return before it can 
return. So you tie up the thread for the duration of the call which could take 
awhile. 

Would you mind logging an enhancement request for async proxy service support 
in our bugbase?

Thanks,
Seth

Hi Seth, could you say whether this is similar to the limitation in LiveCycle / 
Blaze proxy service, which causes multiple web service calls to be queued and 
executed in sequence rather than simultaneously - and whether there could be a 
similar approach to working around this?
 
I have an application that calls several web services at startup, and the 
sequential vs. simultaneous thing really slows it down.

Hi Seth,

This is awesome information. I didn't know player batch them up and
send in one post. I learned something today. I digged through Blaze
source code and found out that "BatchProcessFilter" is responsible for
processing those messages . I am wondering is there any way, I can
write our own batch process filter and plug that in instead of default
one. What I am thinking is to process those messages in parallel on
server then response to the client in one response. Basically, it
would cut down the time server has to wait to finish processing all
those messages sequentially.

Any thoughts or insight info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jay

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Async Concurrent Requests with AMF for BlazeDS or LCDS

[Seth Hodgson]

Hi Jay,

You could fork the endpoint code and build your own custom AMF filter chain to 
do something like this, but the problem remains that when you receive a single 
HTTP request, you have to return all your results in a single HTTP response. 
Say you have 3 batched calls with average execution times on the server of 
10ms, 6 seconds, and 50ms respectively. Even if you split these invocations out 
across concurrent threads in your custom AMF filter chain you'd still need to 
join on these threads, wait for them all to finish and then bundle the 3 
results back up in a single response. So you're not really buying yourself 
much..

Which is why I recommend a truly async approach where your initial call just 
queues a job(s) for async execution on the server and you use the messaging 
infrastructure to get the eventual result(s)/fault(s) back to your client.

Good luck,

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Async Concurrent Requests with AMF for BlazeDS or LCDS

Hi Seth,

This is awesome information. I didn't know player batch them up and
send in one post. I learned something today. I digged through Blaze
source code and found out that "BatchProcessFilter" is responsible for
processing those messages . I am wondering is there any way, I can
write our own batch process filter and plug that in instead of default
one. What I am thinking is to process those messages in parallel on
server then response to the client in one response. Basically, it
would cut down the time server has to wait to finish processing all
those messages sequentially.

Any thoughts or insight info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jay

Something I did at a financial institute was to store the URLs in an
XML file.  I'd have a section for pred and a section for dev.  And I
would just comment them out for whatever environment was used.  Then I
would use AppCoreLib to load the xml and reference the keys in the
appCoreLib.business.Settings.getInstance().getURL("key") to
dynamically set the web service urls.

Hi Gaurav,

This is kind of a pain, but you can convert XML to an ArrayCollection of
Objects like this:

public function result( event : Object ) : void
{
 public var abcAC : ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
 var abcXMLList : XMLList = XMLList(XML(event.result).abc);

 for each(var abcNode:XML in abcXMLList)
 {
 var abc:Object = new Object();
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]();
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 ();
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 abcAC.addItem(abc);
 }



 abcXMLList = null;

[flexcoders] Restricting SWFLoader Content to its Dimensions

Hello,

I have a SWFLoader in my app that loads various SWF files created by
other developers. They are supposed to create them in the specified
dimensions, but I keep running into problems with them going outside
the bounds. Is there any way I can just clip the content in Flex to

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How to extract data from XML

[Tracy Spratt]

Ok, you may have a namespace problem.  They can be a PITA.  I'm not an
expert and you should reveiw the docs/google if this doesn't work but
try putting this in the declarations section of your
app/component(instance scope level):

default xml namespace = ""http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";; 

 

There is more stuff in the xmlns declaration in your sample xml:

http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom  "
...

 

I do not understand what that second part of the string is.  You might
have to include that as well in the default namespace declaration.

 

You can avoid the namespace issue if you use the node index to get a
node, but this is a very clunky way to do it.  To see, try:

Alert.show(myXML.children()[4].toXMLString())

 

XMLList always has 0-n xml nodes in it. (the result of an e4x expression
is never null)  If there is only one node, then many of the XML methods
will work on it the same as with XML.  But for clarity, if I know I want
to work with a single XML node then I do:

var myXMLList:XMLList = myXML.logo;

var xmlLogo:XML = myXMLList[0];

 

If just you do this below, you will get a datatype error:

var xmlLogo:XML = myXML.logo;  //even if that expression returns only a
single node.

Okay, first of all, thanks for all of your help, Tracy. 
I have checked the myXML variable with Alert.show(myXML) and it shows
what I pasted in the first post (that's where I got it). So I know
that myXML contains that. I tried doing
Alert.show(myXML.logo.toXMLString()) but it is still showing nothing.
I have read the documentation on using XML and tried many of the
things it says, but to no avail. One thing I don't wuite understand...
What is the difference between XML and XMLList? If the myXML.logo
returns an XMLList, then should I make a variable that contains it
first? Like 
var myXMLList:XMLList = myXML.logo;
Alert.show(myXMLList);
?
I will try that but let me know if that is what you were meaning or
not... Thanks again..

I believe you can use the textInput's errorString property.  just set
it to a (string) value.  You may also still be able to use the
existing validator framework.  the validator has an 'enabled' property
that you can toggle based on your calculated result.

[flexcoders] Re: Add New Item to Datagrid

[David C. Moody]

I did some more testing to figure out what was causing this to
work/not work.

What I found is that if the evt.result is a mysql/mysqli result set,
it fails to load data sent.  However if you put the mysql data into a
separate array, and return that array.  The data shows up.

However if you set the NewEntryArrayCollection up as so:
ac = new NewEntryArrayCollection (evt.result.source as Array );

It will accept a mysql/mysqli result set.

This has cost me 2 days, but now I know and now other people will know
as well.

I'm looking to find or create a  component which would scale (not
resize) its contents smaller if they were larger than this component's

but would appreciate any suggestions/pointers for this scenario.

[flexcoders] Re: chart data change events

[netdeep]

The problem with the events is that if I listen to changes in the array, I 
don't have access 
to the chart when the event fires.  You can't pass arguments to the event so 
the only thing 
it will know about is the array which fires it.  And as I said before, when I 
create custom 
events, I have to dispatch them myself and they never get called when I need 
them to, but 
are always "late".

My best guess was to try FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE but that seems to never get 
fired 
when I simply append to the array which is the dataprovider for the axis.

So I'm unsure what to do with these suggestions.

Thanks, though!

[flexcoders] Wipe effects with perElementOffset in State Transitions and RemoveChild

[wavinboy31]

Hi

Trying to use a wipe transition effect when changing states. I want to
use a perElementOffset so that the object wipes off and then gets
removed. I've already set wipe.showTarget to false,  but the component
performs the wipe and then flicks back on? I'm pretty sure my code is
solid, I can replace the wipe with a fade and it works fine. I'm
wondering if this is a bug? 

code->


  
 
  

Any suggestions?

No, I don't run virus scanning my my dev computers other than ClamAV 
(force scan). Call me crazy, but I don't use the dev computers 
for "fun" so I'm not at at risk for viruses.  If I need to browse 
the Internet for something then I use a VMWare session that gets 
reset to the initial snapshot when I shut it down)

I did find some articles on developing Flex2 on a remote CF server 
that pointed to an XML file modification.  However, I can't seem to 
find that file in Flex3.  The issue had something to do with the 
flex component looking at localhost vs. remote.  In fact, I ran into 
another post from you on houseoffusion.com which talked about 
copying the XML files locally.

I tried your suggestion on copying the XML files locally but that 
didn't seem to work either.

[flexcoders] Re: TittleWindow ControlBar not showing up

[valdhor]

>From memory, the documentation says that the controlbar must be the
last child added to the window. You are adding the controlbar to an
Hbox that has already been added to the window.

Try adding the controlbar directly to the window as the last item to
be added.

USB communication from a web site ? I think not... unless you want Joe Random

For AIR this makes more sense.

[flexcoders] how to set handle focus?

[odiel_leon]

Hi.

I have a panel, inside are some controls like buttons and texts 
fields.

I want that when click on any panel region(inside, border, title) set 
focus of my panel and aply some style, and when the panel loose focus 
change the style.

I know how to change the style.

In other hand,I have a eventListener on Mouse_Down event in the 
Panel, this function setStyle and setFocus to panel, also I have 
other eventListener on Focus_OUT, but when I click inside panel or 
border the focus_out trigger the event, thats no occur on the edit, 
and buttons controls.

Some help to solve this problem?

Thanks.

[flexcoders] Force redraw of a Linechart as seen on livedocs ?

[Farid SALAH]

Hi all !

I'm trying to implement the code found here

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/charts_intro_7.html#225506

It's the last part with the multiple line series.

My problem is that I'm updating the series based on a request instead  
of populating it in the creationComplete()

The method described here is called on a resultEvent

public function initApp():void {
var wholist:Array = new Array();
for each(var property:XML in myXML.item.who) {
// Create an Array of unique names.
if (wholist[property] != property)
wholist[property] = property;
}

// Iterate over names and create a new series
// for each one.
for (var s:String in wholist) {
// Use all items whose name matches s.
var localXML:XMLList = myXML.item.(who==s);

// Create the new series and set its properties.
var localSeries:LineSeries = new LineSeries();
localSeries.dataProvider = localXML;
localSeries.yField = "hours";
localSeries.xField = "when";

// Set values that show up in dataTips and Legend.
localSeries.displayName = s;

// Back up the current series on the chart.
var currentSeries:Array = myChart.series;
// Add the new series to the current Array of series.
currentSeries.push(localSeries);
// Add the new Array of series to the chart.
myChart.series = currentSeries;
}

How can I redraw my line series, knowing that it's in a VBox in a  
ViewStack ?

I've been calling validateNow() on a bunch of components...


Thanks again

[flexcoders] Application crash due to Channel disconnected

[Tuncay A.]

Hi,

I hope some of you guys can help me.

I made my first company Flex application integrated into a webapplication
using Java Dataservice to communicate to backend.

On Windows machine it works properly. When deploying into a Linux machine it
crashes almost all time when the application either is launched or refreshed
in a browser (IE/Firefox). Using Adobe flex SDK 3.+ , DataService, Flash 9+
on client it doesn't help. 

The exception I get is:
---

[flexcoders] Re: filterFunction problems being had

[bredwards358]

I kind of see what you're getting at, I'm thinking the ArrayCollection
is probably not being returned as an associative array. I've
double-checked and the "col" variable is containing the value of what
I select in the comboBox yet value is not getting set equal to it so
yeah value = item[col] works. Going by your suggesting of checking the
field names, and all I had to do was make sure they matched and when
they did, the function as a whole worked. 

Thanks, once again a mundane detail ruins my day, lol. Oh well, all

[flexcoders] custom event not added

[dnk]

Hi there,

I have a controller that is adding my custom event listeners, but for  
some reason my event handler was not being fired.

My original code was (snippet):


(in controler)

//constructor
public function FlexbController()
{
//turn the key, start it up
addEventListener( FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, onInit );
}

private function onInit( event:Event ):void
{
//setup event listeners
/*systemManager is where event listener hangs out 
defines the  
relationship between event and handler*/

systemManager.addEventListener( 
GetNewsEvent.GET_NEWS_EVENT,  
handler_GetNewsEvent );
systemManager.addEventListener( 
AddNewsEvent.ADD_NEWS_EVENT,  
handler_AddNewsEvent );
 
systemManager.addEventListener( NewsDataLoadedEvent.NEWS_LOADED_EVENT,  
handler_NewsLoadedEvent );
getNewsData();

}

And I had trace statements in all of my handlers... this is how i  
noticed things were not working as they should.

SO I added a simple check like (in my FlexbController constructor):

if (systemManager.addEventListener( GetNewsEvent.GET_NEWS_EVENT,  
handler_GetNewsEvent ))
{
trace("true");
} else {
trace("false");
}


And I obviously am getting "false".

Ideas?

[flexcoders] Re: Interesting XML performance discovery

[polestar11]

... just discovered how terribly unoptimized code can be.

Changed the delete code snippet from the below example to the following:
delete body.children()[count]; // takes 53636ms
 
and then the following:
delete spans[count]; // takes 852ms

Obviously constructing a child array each time in the loop on a large
list of children is hugely inefficient.
