RE: [flexcoders] Call component for String name

[Alex Harui]

createPopUp requires a Class.  You can use getDefinitionByName to
convert a string to a class as long as that class got linked into the
SWF somehow.

Thanks :-). It's certainly helpful to have as much information as 
possible. In my case, I wanted to hide the highlight colors except 
around the edges (past the border of the itemRenderers). Would it 
make any sense to provide an override to allow people to set a 
property that lets the component use its CSS style? The fix I found 
is fairly easy, but a property would be even easier ;-).

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Unload SWFLoader issues

[Alex Harui]

I don't see any code, but in general, if the SWF you loaded does not
clean up after itself, there's no way to force it to unload.  You'll
need to find a way to stop the video and audio before loading something
else.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex Unload SWFLoader issues

 

Hi guys,

I have just today signed up with this mailing list after stumbling
across an issue I cannot resolve! Seems to be a flaw with the SWFLoader
in Flex 3. Basically my problem is this, I have to create a youtube
player for a client and am using the wrapper classes from martin legris
to aid me. All is working ok, I have a datagrid being populated by an
array, and when a video is selected, the SWFLoader loads it into place
as it should. The problem comes when selecting another video from the
list, several things happen (or dont!), the loaded Youtube player
disappears as if another one will be loaded into its place (the desired
effect) but nothing is loaded, also the sound from the original swf is
still audible.

Any suggestions or modifications to the code below would be most
welcome. I have read that possibly using Loader as oppose to SWFLoader
could be the way to go, or maybe Module Loader? I am ver new to flex but
not to actionscript and I seem to recall a similar problem once before
but I am damned if I can remember how (or if) i resolved it.

Anyway, I hope this hasn't been answered ages ago and if it has please
accept my apologies. I hope I can be of some use to some of you in
future postings!

Here's another way:


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 



This works because the data property in an itemRenderer contains all of

I think you will need that new thingy, hold on...yeah,



And maybe:



 

I'm clucking fooless about what they mean, and you probably don't want
so many "*" in a production environment, so you might want to see the
FlashPlayer security whitepapers.

 

Also, the crossdomain file goes on the server that is serving the *data*

Hello,

Per updating to the new flash player; my server admin and I have been
having a heck of a time trying to get the new crossdomain policy
working. Right now we don't need any security on the policy, since
it's being called from two internal domains. The file itself is
residing in the root web directory of the flash files, and it is
trying to access a web service under a different domain. Prior to the
new crossdomain update, the policy was working fine, so I do not
believe it is the location of the file itself.

We are trying to use just a generic policy:

Any ideas what could be causing problems?

Thanks :)

 

RE: [flexcoders] webservice e4x-result can not be filtered??

[Tracy Spratt]

I always advise working up complex expressions slowly, tracing
toXMLString() at each step to be sure you are still going correctly.

 

private function photoDataHandler(event:ResultEvent):void{
  var xmlResult:XML =XML(event.result)

  trace(xmlResult.toXMLString());

  var xlTemp:XMLList = xmlResult.getBronnenResult;

  trace(xlTemp.toXMLString());   //if this doesn't work you probably
have a namespace issue

 //then continue building the expression checking as you go.
}

 

In fact, I suspect you have a namespace issue.  It looks like your xml
has a default namespace:

xmlns="http://tempuri.org/  "

 

I suspect you need to declare this.  I always forget the exact syntax.

Re: [flexcoders] hiding a cell within a datagrid dynamically

[Manu Dhanda]

Ok, one more idea, but not sure about it's performance.
Just use a viewstack with your custom itemrenderer and use a text component
to implement your blank box logic, keeping the text="".
Here is my idea:

 
   
 
 
 
 
   
 

MyCheckBox.mxml:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; 
horizontalAlign="center">

it might help if you chose a font that contained your glyphs. what writing 
script does "hindi" use? devanagari?

as a general rule, boxes means chars can't be rendered using the given font 
(though i just found out buzzword uses "..." instead, what a wacky idea), 
question marks means your data is completely garbaged by encoding error(s).

It raises a runtime error because if you haven't selected a file
fileReference.name is null. you should check for this condition:

if (myFileReference.name && myFileReference.name.length > 0)
myFileReference.upload();


hope this helps,

[flexcoders] Loading arial.ttf style at run time

[pratikshah83]

Hi , 

I would like to know what would be the best way to include the
arial.ttf font at runtime. As currently its embedded which increases
the swf size by 100Kb. 

I have found out a way but would like to know if there is any other
better way of doing it, or this one is appropriate.

[flexcoders] Flex Unload SWFLoader issues

[Ben Reed]

Hi guys,

I have just today signed up with this mailing list after stumbling across an 
issue I cannot resolve! Seems to be a flaw with the SWFLoader in Flex 3. 
Basically my problem is this, I have to create a youtube player for a client 
and am using the wrapper classes from martin legris to aid me. All is working 
ok, I have a datagrid being populated by an array, and when a video is 
selected, the SWFLoader loads it into place as it should. The problem comes 
when selecting another video from the list, several things happen (or dont!), 
the loaded Youtube player disappears as if another one will be loaded into its 
place (the desired effect) but nothing is loaded, also the sound from the 
original swf is still audible.

Any suggestions or modifications to the code below would be most welcome. I 
have read that possibly using Loader as oppose to SWFLoader could be the way to 
go, or maybe Module Loader? I am ver new to flex but not to actionscript and I 
seem to recall a similar problem once before but I am damned if I can remember 
how (or if) i resolved it.

Anyway, I hope this hasn't been answered ages ago and if it has please accept 
my apologies. I hope I can be of some use to some of you in future postings! 

Cheers
 
Ben Reed


  

[flexcoders] Re: How can i customize grouping row renderer in AdvancedDataGrid ?

[gregolux]

Brilliant!  But I had to specify a depth so that the renderer only affects the 
group items but not 
the leaf nodes:


 


I can't imagine using grouping in an ADG any other way-- this method saves 
space by not 
having to dedicate a column to the group label.  You still might want a 
grouplabel column to 
shift the leaf nodes over to the right a bit for elegance, but it can be much 
narrower than would 
be required to accommodate the groupLabel text.

[flexcoders] Crossdomain Policy Problems

[Erin]

Hello,

Per updating to the new flash player; my server admin and I have been
having a heck of a time trying to get the new crossdomain policy
working.  Right now we don't need any security on the policy, since
it's being called from two internal domains.  The file itself is
residing in the root web directory of the flash files, and it is
trying to access a web service under a different domain.  Prior to the
new crossdomain update, the policy was working fine, so I do not
believe it is the location of the file itself.

We are trying to use just a generic policy:

[flexcoders] Flex 2 Development on Flex 3

[Varun Shetty]

Hi,

I want to use some flex 3 builder IDE features and my current project is
developed in Flex 2.

Can I port my application (Without any changes) and use Flex 3 IDE.

I believe I will have to use backward compatibility flags to do this.
http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/Flex/Backwards+Compatibility+Issues

has anyone played with this and found any issues.

Flex 3 IDE features that I want to use are.
- Refactoring
- memory and performance profilers

My application is using a lot of RAM, any best practices document that I can
use, will be really helpful.
Also, is there a way we can check for available ram in flash or javascript
and redirect users to appropriate (html) version of the application.

thank you

Re: [flexcoders] Math.abs() Limitation?

I figured it out.  The trace made it obvious (as opposed the debugger which
is what I was previously using).  I was using Number.MAX_VALUE, not
int.MAX_VALUE.  Number.MAX_VALUE doesn't have enough precision to handle
what I was trying to do.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How should we access our Flex apps from the browser?

[Tracy Spratt]

Dan, unless you are using the LCDS web tier compiler, or the Apache
equivalent, what you are describing is pretty much impossible.  The
browser cannot interpret mxml.

 

But calling the html wrapper is the normal way to access a flex app
through a browser.

The answer depends on what you plan to do with the rating?  Are you
storing the rating somewhere? Sending it to the server?  Normally, you
will need to keep track of that field somewhere on the client and the
best place is in your data, so adding a field to FileReference via

fillColors is not a supported property (style) for a Panel.  Unless you

Re: [flexcoders] Re: #2038: File I/O Error only in firefox

I finally got around to implementing the fix and am having issues on the

UnsupportedCommandException: cmd
'uploadfile;jsessionid=4913B7A92119CA91D683D8F884829475' is not supported.
Anyone know a fix for this, or a forum that would be more appropriate to

[flexcoders] DataGrid Item Editor Question

[Dan Vega]

I have this data grid that holds a list of files. These files are
fileReferences that are selected by a user browsing the system. After the
select a file the data shows the name/ext/size. What I want is a 4th column
for the user to select a value from the drop down. I get an error with the
code below because there is no default value. I am not sure how I would go
about this because the fileReference object does not hold this data so I can
not give it a dataField. I am sure this is because Im a new, any help is
appreciated!

Sorry Sudha,

I've never done this, but you can also set layout="absolute" on a Panel.

RE: RES: [flexcoders] Using CSS with custom item renderers

[Stephen Gilson]

One more note on this one:
 
Renderers have their TypeSelectors blocked for the styles:
 
backgroundColor
borderStyle
 
borderStyle is blocked because DataGrid/List has a borderStyle and if
you put a container in as your renderer, it would pick up that
borderStyle by default.
 
Similarly, backgroundColor is blocked, but also for another reason.  We
want the renderers to not have a background so the selection/highlight
colors can be drawn behind them and show through.
 
We can add this to the doc.
 
Stephen

Simply put, the IDataRenderer interface.

ItemRenderers are supposed to be encapsulated, if Adobe used anything
other than the styleName of the renderer's parent, they would be
breaking this encapsulation rule.

You could try un setting the styleName in commit properties and then try
your TypeSelector again. If that dosn't work, override
updateDisplayList() and unset it after super().

I meant a CSS solution. I could possibly create a classFactory
and 
pass in the styleName in that, but that's not nearly as clean as
just 
using the TypeSelector. I could also pass in a reference to the 
Application and/or its styles and have the component look at
that to 
see if there is a style that matches the ClassName, but that's
sort 
of icky too.

Why is the List component set up to break this?

Thanks;

Hi Sudha,

A Panel container uses relative positioning.  For absolute positioning,
use a Canvas.

[flexcoders] adding images to a panel

[sudha_bsb]

Hi,

I have a long horizontal panel. I want to add images to it at a
particular position for each image.

Say I have a panel of width 250 and height 50, with x as 0 and y as 0

I want to add images at (0,0) (50,0), (150,0), (200,0)

Setting the x and y for images is not helping.

While this isn't going to help you now, you might be interested in
that we intend to solve a lot of these issues with our forthcoming
Pimento data management framework (Open Source):

http://www.spicefactory.org/pimento/

The problems with closed sessions and huge object graphs will be
solved through "FetchPlans". There will be a default fetch plan which
is to not serialize any uninitialized Hibernate proxy or collection
but to include all simple properties and initialized associations.
But the default can be overwritten for individual calls with FetchPlan
instances created in AS3.

[flexcoders] Flash player vs Vista: security issues?

[Lorenzo Benvenuti]

Hi,

has someone experienced issues using FileReference.download on Vista?
A customer is unable to download files from our app. Actually he can't 
open the "browser" window that allows to choose the destination of the 
file: it's like the OS is denying the access to the file system. 
Everything works fine for other customers using other operating systems; 
this is the first one using MS Vista. I've never used Vista, nor do I 
have a pc with Vista installed to try to reproduce the issue.
I searched Google and the only interesting thing I found is about the 
"protected mode" of IE7 in Vista. It sounds like IE (and all the ActiveX 
controls) are run with partial privileges even if you log into the 
system as an admin.

Ideas? Suggestions?

Thank you.

Lorenzo

[flexcoders] Re: Using AdvancedDataGridRendererProvider for AdvancedDatagrid

[Adrian Gillette]

Tom,

Thanks for replying.

I think found a workable solution to my problem, which was the need to
have the itemrenderer know its position it was in relation to the
hierarchicalCollectionView that is used by an advancedDataGrid.  I was
trying to use an itemrenderer that would hide a "remove" button if it
was the 1st child in a branch.

Here's my solution code:
override public function set data( value:Object ) : void
{
   super.data = value;

   var temp:*  = listData.owner;
   var dh:HierarchicalCollectionView  =
temp.hierarchicalCollectionView as HierarchicalCollectionView;
   var cursor:IHierarchicalCollectionViewCursor = dh.createCursor() as
IHierarchicalCollectionViewCursor;

   var isFirst:Boolean = true;

   while(!cursor.afterLast)
   {
  var node:Object = cursor.current;
  if(node.mx_internal_uid == value.mx_internal_uid){
 var myBookmark:CursorBookmark = cursor.bookmark;
 cursor.seek(myBookmark, -1);
 var previousNodeDepth:int = cursor.currentDepth;
 if (previousNodeDepth == 2) {
isFirst = false;
break;
 }
 cursor.moveNext();
  }
  removeButton.visible = isFirst;
}

I would greatly appreciate anyone's comments and/or suggestions on
this solution.

Thanks,

Adrian

I embedded the "Microsoft San Serif (True Type)" font in to my app &
changed my controls to use it using the "font family" attribute.  The
font did change when I ran the app, but Hindi glyphs still showed up
as squares.  English & French still display correctly.

Actually it is running on port 7001 (Weblogic default).  I simply
chose to omit it from the example URLs because I didn't think it was

[flexcoders] Re: Unable to Display Hindi

[tanarijay]

I deleted the original file, & created a new one using WinXP notepad,
saving it as UTF-8.  I then opened the file and added my name/value
pairs using Hindi for the value's.  Notepad displayed the Hindi
characters as squares as well.  Perhaps this is a Windows XP
environment issue, rather then a Flex environment issue.

I should have noted earlier that when I created the file in Flex 3,
the hindi characters display in the IDE when I edit the file, but not
when the application displays the same text.

[flexcoders] Math.abs() Limitation?

[Daniel Freiman]

According to my code the following statement returns true.

Math.abs(int.MAX_VALUE - 1290) == Math.abs(int.MAX_VALUE - 1284)

I tried converting everything to type Number that didn't help.  Getting ride
of the abs() makes the calculation work correctly but then I don't have the
absolute value.

Thoughts?

Have I look at Adobe AIR. That allows you to run your flex

You only use a port if it isn't the default port 80. I presume he is

Paul,

Thanks for your reply.

When I access the .mxml file through my browser, it doesn't serve up
the source.  Instead, it serves up a functioning Flex application.

Per your advice however, I'll focus on accessing the application via
it's "HTML wrapper".

Hello,

It's not clear to me how we should access our Flex apps from the
browser. It appears that accessing them using .swf, .mxml and .html
all work but each with slightly different effects.

For example, I can access a Flex application "helloWorld" using the
following URLs. They all work (to varying degrees) but which one am I
actually supposed to use?

http://localhost/ helloWorld. swf
http://localhost/ helloWorld. mxml
http://localhost/ helloWorld. html

Re: [flexcoders] How should we access our Flex apps from the browser?

[Paul Andrews]

The swf file is what is run by the flash player plugin, it's not usual to 
run this directly in the browser.
The mxm file is the source used within your application - it won't be 
usefull to look at this in a browser.
The html file checks the users environment for the flash player and calls 
your .swf file.

html is the way to go.

[flexcoders] Re: Getting PropertyChangeEvent to work properly

[superbokbok]

Hi Amy,
I created the bindable event as suggested but still nothing :(
Is there a sample usage of the PropertyChange class that I could look
over to get a good sense of how to use this correctly?

Again, I can get the event to work when I create a custom event and
dispatch that to one of the instances listening for the event, but in
this situation, I want a field to update when an instances variable,
'lastChecked' in this case, is updated. In this way, I'm not creating
any explicit eventListeners as the data updates the variable and changes
the view on screen automatically.
Thx for your help!

[flexcoders] Problems with showDataEffect trigger looping on Chart Seris in Flex 3

[mgrayfmr]

Has anyone run into this issue in Flex 3?
The showDataEffect is looping endlessly, causing a transtion to run 
over and over again.

I have two charts, one a LineChart and one a ColumnChart.
On the series of each, I have set the 
showDataEffect="{nameOfEffectHere}"
For the LineChart, the effect is declared as:



For the ColumnChart, it is declared as:


In both cases, the effect loops.
I cannot find what is causing the showDataEffect to be triggered.
This code worked fine in Flex 2.0, but breaks in Flex 3.0.

Any info would be appreciated!!!

[flexcoders] Flex for desktop application

Hi Friendns,

Is it possible to use flex for desktop application.
If i have a java application(desktop application not web application)
can i use flex as front end for it.
I mean to say can i replace applet with flex.
I have worked on flex for web application and as you know it uses
HttpService to get data from server and remote object in dats service.

But I want to cal a java method which will return me an xml. 

Is it possible

Thanks in advance.

-Prash.

[flexcoders] Reflect column sorting in AdvancedDataGrid

[Dennis van Nooij]

I'm using an AdvancedDatagrid where my sorting is done on the server
(total result set is bigger than the list shown at client). So when I
click a header, sort info is added to the request and result comes
back sorted correctly. My question is: How can I provide feedback on
how the results are sorted? Arrows on the columns are gone, probably
because dataprovider was refreshed. Is there a way to manually enable
those arrows again ?

[flexcoders] Re: hiding a cell within a datagrid dynamically

[anthony_morsey]

Thanks, but this technique seems to work for all values in the column,
not just the value in each individual row.  It seems that if one of
the values for grant_year in a column meets the condition, then all
checkboxes are either hidden or visible. I want to do this row by row
and turn visible on or off based on the grant_year value in that row.

Any other ideas?

Also… you have something interesting going on with your variable initialization 
which should probably look a little more like:

 

Var fileRef:FileReference;

 

Public function initiateNotice():void

{

  filreRef = new FileReference();

}

Subject: [flexcoders] initialize a fileReference object

 

Hello,

my project is almost finished, but i'm new to flex and found a problem i don't 
know how to solve...
I need to initialize a fileReference object.

This object is on a form, and everytime i get inside the form i need the object 
like new, with no content at all.

i tried:

var file_imgb:FileReference=new FileReference();
var file_imgs:FileReference=new FileReference();

public function iniciafiles_noticias():void
{
  file_imgb=null;
  file_imgs=null;
 
  var file_imgb:FileReference=new FileReference();
  var file_imgs:FileReference=new FileReference();

}

but after calling the function "iniciafiles_noticias()" the content of the 
objects still there :(

please, help me...T__T

My opinion is that you are thinking about this too much. You do not  
need to have a boolean to determine if a file was selected.


What you need is an array that you populate with the filled  
FileReference instances in the Event.SELECTED event handler. When the  
user clicks SEND on your application, you loop over your array of  
stored FileReference instances and upload each of them.


So in the onSelect function for Event.SELECTED, just push the  
FileReference into the array. Event.SELECTED shouldn't get broadcast  
unless a file is actually selected anyway.


Whether or not your FileReference elements are stored in different  
views doesn't matter - just so long as your array is accessible by  
all of them so the FileReference instance can be added.


private var fileList:Array = new Array();
private function onSelectFile(event:Event):void
{
var file:FileReference = FileReference(event.target);
  fileList.push(file);
}

If you want to use Windows on Macbooks you also need an external

[flexcoders] Scale up and down Y axis

[kirilminevgroups]

I have a chart on which I am plotting numerous points and in some
cases I need to be able to zoom in and out the y-axis to spread out
the values if they are too close and too many on the same region.

Any suggestion, direction on that manner?

Any input will greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: Thinking about going to the dark side....Apple Mac Book

[stephen.smithstone]

I would say take the plunge and get a decent mac either a Macbook pro
or PowerMac , then run VMWare Fusion as a virtual machine and do you
.net dev in that environment you can run it as a guest inside of your
OS X env and either do unity view which basically makes you windows
app native on the os x desktop take a look on their website.

[flexcoders] Display datatips from lookup field

[kirilminevgroups]

I have a feature build in to my Flex Plots chart that searches my data
points by given value and than it select the points on chart. This
part works fine, but also need to display the datatips associated with
this data point and let them remain opened.

Any help!!! will very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Here is some of the code I am using to select the data points:

public function selectItems(event:Event):void {


// Create an array of all the chart's series.   

var allSeries:Array = bigChart.series;

// Iterate over each series.
for (var i:int=0; i < allSeries.length; i++) 
{
var selectedData:Array = [];

for (var j:int=0; j< mainData.length; 
j++) 
{
if (mainData.getItemAt(j).A == 
Number(txtOrderNum.text)) 
{
selectedData.push(j);
}

}

allSeries[i].selectedIndices = selectedData;

}
txtOrderNum.text = '';

txtOrderNum.text, 'Alert Box', mx.controls.Alert.OK);
//}
}

[flexcoders] PDF into Flex

[Dels]

Hi. 

I'm very new to Flex. Trying to play around with it at the moment. I'm
not so good with my ActionScript. But i'm well conversed with html :).

I have a HDividedBox.
on the left is the space for me to embed a pdf file.
on the right I have an Accordion.

The accordion is filled with text inputs. Reference for the text
inputs is from the left hand side pdf (meaning the pdf file is
basically just a file to refer)

My question is, can I embed the PDF into the first half of the
HDividedBox? if it's a yes, how do I do it?

Thanks in advnace,
Dela

Thanks for the heads up Don. It looks like my issue
was in my application.cfm file. It seems there was a
redirect if you didn't have a Session.ID set and that
is why it wasn't getting to my CFC. Now when I log
into the server apps, it's working perfectly.
Definitely won't forget that in the future!

[flexcoders] DND, change default effect, registering custom DragProxy in DragManager. How?

[ndkamp]

I need to change the default Zoom/Move effect at the end of a drag
operation. I traced into the DND-Classes and found that the effects
are hardcoded right into the mouseUpHandler of the DragProxy-Class - a
internal helper class for the DragManager. Overwriting the handler
would be a way to go but I can't find a way to register a custom
DragProxy in the DragManager(Impl).

I don't quite get the Design behind this but must miss something obvious.

1.) is there a way to change the default-effects for the drag-operations?
2.) If not, how would I register a custom DragProxy in the
DragManager, without changing the Flex-Framework?

thanks for any help.

[flexcoders] Re: Itemrenderer combo's dataprovider from ModelLocator???

[Tim Hoff]

Hey Jerry,

No, referencing the model from anywhere in your application is the power
of MVC.  Most times you can get what you need from data or listData in
an itemRenderer.  But, there's nothing keeping you from using the model
any way that you need.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Thinking about going to the dark side....Apple Mac Book

[David Pariente]

About that, i used to read an article about price comparing between DELL and 
MACS...

They took the most powerfull Mac, and looked for an equal DELL. Equal i mean 
the same type of data bus speed, same ammount and memory speeds, same processor 
models (4 processors actually), etc. So, exactly the EQUAL machine.

The results: Dell one was 100us$ more expensive. what was almost same price 
cause was over 3000us$

of course, u can get a cheaper PC, but hardware and power will have NOTHING to 
be.

Later i did same, i looked for a Sony VAIO with EQUAL characteristics than a 
MacBook Pro. The VAIO was around same price, even slightly more expensive.

So...REALLY...when u buy a mac, u dont pay ANYTHING for it's beautifull design, 
but for its powerfull hardware.
I do leave that clear for everyone who choosing a mac or a pc.

They're not really pricey if you care about build and component quality and 
style though - Sure I could buy a cheap fugly dell for 2/3 the price, but if I 
were stuck in Windows I wouldn't be caught dead using "consumer" laptops. Lousy 
components, ugly and too much cheap plastic. I'd have to go for a Vaio, which 
is priced like a Mackbook Pro anyway.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Thinking about going to the dark side....Apple Mac Book

[David Pariente]

select name from OS order by QUALITY desc;

name

linux
macOS
...
...
Vista, XP SP3...etc...

now, i think best option for working on media and have no hardware problems 
would be macOS, so i recommend u to make the switch.
Of course, u will miss many things from MS world, but also will get many extra 
things u won't find on MS world.
So just be optimistic, changes, even changes for good, allways imply adpatation 
problems. :)
MAKE THE CHANGE AND MAKE ME JEALOUS!

Re: [flexcoders] know if .browse() was executed or not

[David Pariente]

I really think i didnt explain the real problem properly.

i did what u said without any problem. studied all documentation about 
fileReference too.

The point is that, IN ANOTHER POINT OF THE CODE, i wanna send the files.
the on_select is not useful for me. i will not send anything on_select, just 
put a pair of lines of code there.

But later, user will click the button SEND, and send all the files that he 
actually selected (with several browse() actions over several fileReference 
objects)

so when user click SEND i should check for all FileReference Objects, and send 
ONLY the ones that where actually selected.

So i need a fileReference.selected:boolean function or property, but there is 
no function like that. I tried to access to any property from the object, like 
.name but it would crash my app if the file was not selected.

so finally, what i need is something like this:

if (myFileReference.selected()=true) { myFileReference.upload() }

i tried this, but crashes when file is not selected:

if (myFileReference.name.length>0) { myFileReference.upload() }

i guess i could create a myFRselected variable for EVERY fileReference i 
have...but is not really a nice option :/


thnx

Ok.  Then all you need to do is use FileReference instead of FileReferenceList. 
There is not much to change in the code.

Any attempt to get the .name property before the select event is dispatched 
will result in an IllegalOperationErr or (because you can't even look at name 
until Event.SELECT is dispatched).

So, in the onSelectFile method that I posted, .name will then be available - it 
will be null if no file was selected. Additionally, check the documentation on 
browse(). You might be doing something else funky that is wrong - such as 
messing with typelist and not providing descriptions or extension strings. 
There are a few things that would cause the browse() not to return true.

The following should work (not tested).

private var isBrowsingFile: Boolean = false;
private function addFiles():void 
{
myFileReference = new FileReference( );
if (!isBrowsingFile) {

 try
 {
isBrowsingFile  = myFileReference .browse() ;
myFileReference. addEventListener (Event.SELECT, onSelectFile) ;
 }
 catch (error:Error)
 {
isBrowsingFile = false;
 // Handle errors, or add listeners in the try block for errors
 // This is where you would get the IllegalOperationErr or

 }
}
else

{

trace("already browsing for a file");

}
}

// Called when file is selected
private function onSelectFile( event:Event) :void
{
isBrowsingFile = false;
if (myFileReference. name)
{
// whatever you want to do with the selected file
}
else
{
//no file selected
}
}

good luck with it,

jon

[flexcoders] Re: Thinking about going to the dark side....Apple Mac Book

[fb6668]

I use a little ole' MacBook for most of my development. All my .NET
stuff runs on my Windows partition using Parallels and Virtue
Desktops, faster than my fully-fledged PC lappy, and then enerything
else is done on OSX. I was a little dubious at first when this
configuration was advised to me, but it works fantastically. Devving,
testing and debugging in the two environments within one little
(beautifully crafted and developed) box. Awesome. 
If you are looking to get one, the new MacBook Pro is rumoured to be
announced on 9th June, so wait for that, and whatver you do, buy the
minimum RAM from Apple and upgrade it yourself, cuz theirs is a rip-off!

Personally, I would never buy a Dell after years of having problems
with their cheap and shoddy components. They may have got better in
recent years, but my previous experiences make me shudder every time I
hear the word "Dell".
