[flexcoders] Question about flex event flow
Hi, I was reading up the flex event flow and I have a basic question. What was the need to have two different phases called bubbling and capturing. I understand that they traverse the display list from different directions but ultimately they are going to call the event listeners. Can some one please answer this ?

[flexcoders] Tricky dataProvider Refresh
When using a filter function on an AdvancedDataGrid whose dp is a
HierarchicalData object derived from an XMLCollectionList passed into
it, the dataprovider will not refresh by calling dp.refresh directly.
So I tried datagrid.dataProvider.refresh() and it works until one of the
row's criteria for filtering is changed and a subsequent filter request
occurs. It throws 2 consecutive Invalid Bookmark runtime errors (see
below). If I press 'Continue' on both errors, the filtering works
properly.
Error: Bookmark no longer valid.

[flexcoders] Dynamic DataGrid row height ?
Hi all here's the problem: I want to use a tree as an itemRenderer within a DataGrid (not the advanced one as it causes me other problems). Now I want the grid to dynamically adjust the row's height to show all of the tree as the user opens/closes nodes.

I kinda got Flex controlling this loaded swf movie clip, but only
if the user clicks on it. Like an event that catches the movie clip.
but that still doesn't do the job :o

meter.swf') id=meter/
//it's called when its respective state is reached

meter.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, updateMeter);

//this works, but I needed it to be reachable without a click!
var swfMovieClicked:Object = e.target;
swfMovieClicked.gotoAndStop(_meterValue);
//the loaded swf movie clip is not found through the
SWFLoader object at all:
//meter.meter_mc.gotoAndStop(_meterValue);

[flexcoders] Re: OOP and Work for Hire
You can use it again definitely otherwise no one here would be allowed to do even a sorting algorithm ever again. Come on, some guys even went so far that every single digital line of code is client's. So even the mx:Button / I can't implement ever again, because it belongs to the customer. Algorithm, you can probably use it again. It depends how obvious or unique it is. In theory, algorithms / approaches to solving problems are not patentable. In reality such algorithms may be patentable or considered trade secrets. Depends, but usually there are changes for the better in each iteration. Even if you sit down to implement the algorithm a second time, I bet it will come out quite different than what you did the first tie.

[flexcoders] Need some assistance with insert, update done in a loop
In the part of my application that I'm currently working on I'm trying
to dynamically update a local database every time a change is made to
the dataProvider(ArrayCollection) when a dragDrop action is done. Here's
my code so far:
---
private function dragToOrders(event:DragEvent):void
{
var draggedItems:Object = new Object();
draggedItems = event.dragSource.dataForFormat(items);
var n:int = orderDetailArray.length;
for (var i:int = 0; i n; i++)//Looping through to check for
duplicate entries
{
if (orderDetailArray[i].UniqueID == draggedItems[0].UniqueID)
{
orderDetailArray[i].Qty ++;
event.preventDefault();
adgOrders.dataProvider.dispatchEvent(new
CollectionEvent(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE));
trace(Update fired);//Placeholder foractual update
function
return;
}
adgOrders.dataProvider.dispatchEvent(new
CollectionEvent(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE));
trace(Insert fired); //Placeholder for actual insert
function
}
}
---
The problem is that both the insert and update functions are firing
once the second item is put into the dropTarget's dataProvider which
would cause many duplicate entries into the database. What I need help
with is making sure that only an insert or an update is fired when
needed. I suspect this may have something to do with the for loop
everything is in but outside input would be appreciated. Thanks in

Subject: [flexcoders] Understanding Custom Event Creation
To: flexcoders flexcoders@yahoogroups.com
The LiveDocs page that is supposed to explain how to create a custom event
is:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/ascomponents_7.html#170959
I get it that what I choose for the name parameter is what listeners
will have to register against. I don't get the 'type' param. Am I
needing to make that package of the current class?
[Event(name=itsGreaterThanZero, type=com.foo.bar.whatHere)]
Also, the sample doesn't make clear how to pass custom (runtime) data.
I'm working with code that needs to dispatch a custom event when a
given value is found to be 0. The method in question is in a class
that extends UIComponent.
Any help much appreciated.

[flexcoders] Re: Need some assistance with dynamic updates done through a loop
Okay, after doing some more research I found that the update
function(my trace placeholder) is fine where it is, the problem is
that it is firing the insert function for each and every row every
time something is dragged onto the datagrid essentially cloning all
the entries in the database while updating the original items. So I've
narrowed down my problem to figuring out how to get the insert
function to fire only once for new items and skipped when updating
items. I keep thinking that perhaps I might be using the wrong kind of
loop, but other options I can think of amount to the same thing.
I've tried using an else and else if block to enclose the insert
placeholder but it is still doing the same thing. Again, any advice
and help would be greatly appreciated.

[flexcoders] initialization behaviors
Hello
I have
- one Class that extends Canvas and contains a Label
- a private property named _message
- get/set public functions to get/set _message
- the set function
--- sets the value of the private property _message
--- sets the same value to the text property of the Label
---
calling the class from mxml I obtain two different behaviors:
1)
comps:ExtendedCanvas
message=text text text just text /
All works fine...
Text is visible in the Label inside the ExtendedCanvas
2)
comps:ExtendedCanvas
message={resourceManager.getString('localizedContent',
'messageString01')} /
Text is not visible in the Label inside the ExtendedCanvas...
I've tried:
Tracing the value in the container/parent of the ExtendedCanvas I can
see it's there...
Tracing the value in the createChildren function that creates the
Label and assigns the text
I've already lost the value...
Sorry to ask... maybe it's too much a newbie question for all of you
But I was wondering...
If the tracing 'before' the mxml tag that creates the ExtendedCanvas
returns
the right text, why shouldn't the text be there when I'm already
filling the ExtendedCanvas
with childrens?
Am I getting something wrong?
Any suggestion is really appreciated...
Obviously is really appreciated also any hint on where to look for
better understanding on the matter...
Already had a look to the commitProperties method and it seems that I
could obtain the localized string
if I trigger it just in the moment when the 'message' property is
assigned a value...
so I can visualize the text I need...
BUT still I'd like to uderstand why... why the different behavior?
Thanks in advance

RE: [flexcoders] Looping through datagrid rows
You do not. Item renderers are recycled, and only the visible ones even exist. Renerers cannot be relied on to retain any stae Your itemRenderer must set it state (selectedIndex of the ComboBox) based on the value of a property on the dataProvider item. When a user makes a selection in the Combo box, it must update that property. You can then loop over the dataProvider to access the current values. Making this happen is a bit complex. Take a look at the example here: http://www.cflex.net/showFileDetails.cfm?ObjectID=767 I do not provide it as a production-level component, just as an example or starting point, but it does address the necessary issues.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: My Web Service with soap headers code no longer work with Flex 3
I see that your header is an authorization header. That is not good news for
you, and your problem cannot be fixed by the crossdomain file.
You can no longer set Authorization headers. Below is copied from an earlier
post to flexcoders. I think you will find more info if yo search.
Tracy
Use the proxy service that ships in BlazeDS and LCDS for your Http requests.
There are a variety of browser hacks related to Http headers (which in some
cases also impact SOAP web services), and the player is likely to get more
restrictive in this area rather than less. This generally has more to do with
lax or faulty APIs in routers, etc., but we as Flash users end up suffering.
To side-step the header restrictions, as well as the limited set of Http
methods supported by the Player and browser plugin APIs, if you use HTTPService
or WebService with useProxy=true, and route those requests through BlazeDS or
LCDS, your desired request is wrapped and sent in a compliant fashion from the
Player to the proxy service, and it is then unwrapped and the actual proxied
request can be made successfully. This service also handles getting Http error
responses (say, in the 500 status code range) back into the Player usefully.
Best,
Seth

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Modules not loading in some browsers! Why?
It also may be that you're not making a hard link to the module and it's getting garbage collected before you're doing anything with it. I don't remember exactly the details, but I had an issue with modules sometimes loading and sometimes not loading between compiles of my app. Once I added a hard reference to the module once it was loaded, that went away. The garbage collection could play differently between browsers which is why the modules get garbage collected in some browsers and not others. There could be a better way of saying that. It's not that the garbage collector behaves differently, but some browsers might have a larger overhead than others and so the GC may get rid of stuff differently.

[flexcoders] BitmapAsset apparent erratic behaviour
I am loading the same bitmap asset using two methods, they should
work the same but they don't.
Method 1: Statically link to swc file that contains embedded images.
Method 2: Dynamically load swf content that contains embedded images.
The actual embedding code for both methods is as follows:
[Embed(source=res/test.png)]
[Bindable]
public var test:Class;
Here is the problematic code snippet:
--
// event handler for when external swf finishes to load
public function OnExternalSwfLoadComplete(event:Event):void
{
// InternalResource was the name of the class compiled in the swc
var internalResource:Object = new InternalResource();
var externalResource:Object = event.target.content;
// get the classes and instantiate
var internalClass:Class = internalResource[test];
var externalClass:Class = externalResource[test];
var internalAsset:* = new internalClass();
var externalAsset:* = new externalClass();
// Here I test 2 things, what are the super class names, and
// whether the instances are of type IFlexDisplayObject
var internalIsDisp:Boolean = internalAsset is IFlexDisplayObject;
var externalIsDisp:Boolean = externalAsset is IFlexDisplayObject;
var internalSuperClass:String = getQualifiedSuperclassName
(internalAsset);
var externalSuperClass:String = getQualifiedSuperclassName
(externalAsset );
--
The results are that both assets have type mx.core::BitmapAsset.
However internalIsDisp is true while externalIsDisp is false!!
Questions:
1) Shouldn't this be impossible according to as3 language?
2) What can I do to change the externally loaded resource to behave
like the statically linked one. Currently if I use the externally
loaded resource I crash in the flex framework in places such as
setStyle for example where it is expecting a IFlexDisplayObject.
3) Am I going about the wrong way externally loading resources? To
generate the external swf I am using mxmlc compiler on an .as file
that contains a bunch of embedded images.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Modules not loading in some browsers! Why?
That's possible too. A request to load a module and get events from the module do not constitute a hard-reference to the module, making it eligible for GC. If you use ModuleLoader, it will keep a hard reference, otherwise, put an instance variable in the class that loads it (and don't forget to null it when you no longer need the module). creationComplete only fires once, but if you instantiate the view twice, that can cause problems.

RE: [flexcoders] How to set up a LCDS Development enviroment?
This port depends on the way your servlet container is configured. Configuring
this depends on the server you're using (Tomcat, WebSphere, etc.). Once you
reconfigure your app server to bind to a different port for HTTP (and for HTTPS
as well?), you'd need to update any hardcoded port values in your config files
(although if you're using {server.port} in your URLs you'll be fine with no
changes).

[flexcoders] PopUpButton custom component with styles
Got a bit of an issue here I can't seem to resolve. I've got a PopUpButton that opens up a custom component (mxml VBox and mxml Canvas). These both use a styleName tag on them. Unfortunately, the PopUpButton doesn't inherit any styles into the popup that is created and I can't get the styles to display for the life of me. I've tried regenerating style cache, tried hacking the PopUpButton class itself to force the owner to be the parent application ... nothing will take. So, how can I force any and all custom styles to be applied to any component or control that is used as a popup for the PopUpButton? Seems pretty lame that the custom styles won't display, when they do in every other context. thanks, jon

[flexcoders] How to support both PERCENT and ABSOLUTE values in one attribute?
Hi, A really convenient feature of flex is how you can provide either a PERCENT or ABSOLUTE measurement for WIDTH or HEIGHT of containers, and the compiler figures out which is which for you. I have a component called Content which is composed of two other components called LeftColumn and RightColumn. I would like for whoever is using the Content component to be able to supply a leftColumnWidth in either PERCENT or ABSOLUTE. The value would then get passed directly into the WIDTH attribute of the internal sub-component LeftColumn. Basically, I just need to pass-through a value from one component to another. The problem is what data type to make the leftColumnWidth property? A STRING does not accept the absolute values, and a NUMBER does not accept percentages. The framework itself uses a compiler directive called PERCENTPROXY to solve this issue before it even gets to the data type, but is that what I should do too just to pass a value from one component to another? Thanks for reading this, Baz

I wish Adobe would just do a clean integration between the two (you know, something like a preference in Flash to designate Flex as the IDE instead of its built-in IDE) -- it'd certainly sell more copies of the two! Troy.
RE: [flexcoders] Difference between Flash/Flex in AS 3
I'll try reading his mind. Did you simply paste your code into an mx:Script block? You don't want to put loose statements like 'for' loops there. A Flex script block should have declarations of vars and functions... things that go into the body of a class, because in Flex every MXML document actually defines a class. Your 'for' loop belongs inside some method, such as a handler for the 'initialize' event.

[flexcoders] Importing lots of symbols from swf for TileList
Hi All, I have a swf file that has 150+ symbols defined in it that i need to use in various TileLists in flex 3, so far all of the intro samples suggest that i use something like the following: [Embed(source='../swf/my.swf#mysymbol')] private var icon0:Class; Obviously there has to be a better way to import them all without declaring each separate symbol as a var in my mxml file. All of the symbols follow a naming convention so if someone could show me how i can embed the swf file once and then how i could build the symbols from that swf into an array, I should then be able to apply those arrays as dataproviders to my tileLists.

RE: [flexcoders] SECURITY ERROR ACCESING URL calling a web service
From an earlier post: The latest version of the Flash Player, 9.0.124.0, contains security changes that will break your WebService calls. There is a lot of info available about this, but here is a quick fix. NOTE: This example is insecure. Consult with a security expert, or become one yourself, before working with a production environment. Add this to your crossdomain.xml file: allow-http-request-headers-from domain=* headers=* / Again, the wildcards are not good for a production environment. But if you just need to get coding again, this will work. An additional FYI: this change happened earlier than the current version, don't know exactly when, but you will also need this (or a more secure version) in your crossdomain.xml file: site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies=master-only/ I do not know really what it means, but it lets me work. If you need to understand this stuff, the information is available. Here is a summary link: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player9_security_ update.html http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player9_security _update.html And here is a link to the big whitepaper.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: My Web Service with soap headers code no longer work with Flex 3
I was under the impression Auth headers were allowed again?
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb403030sliceId=1
But, being a SOAP header I think it's part of the POST request and the flash

You can no longer set Authorization headers. Below is copied from an

Tracy
Use the proxy service that ships in BlazeDS and LCDS for your Http
requests.
There are a variety of browser hacks related to Http headers (which in some
cases also impact SOAP web services), and the player is likely to get more
restrictive in this area rather than less. This generally has more to do
with lax or faulty APIs in routers, etc., but we as Flash users end up
suffering.
To side-step the header restrictions, as well as the limited set of Http
methods supported by the Player and browser plugin APIs, if you use
HTTPService or WebService with useProxy=true, and route those requests
through BlazeDS or LCDS, your desired request is wrapped and sent in a
compliant fashion from the Player to the proxy service, and it is then
unwrapped and the actual proxied request can be made successfully. This
service also handles getting Http error responses (say, in the 500 status
code range) back into the Player usefully.
Best,
Seth

To: flexcoders flexcoders@yahoogroups.com
The LiveDocs page that is supposed to explain how to create a custom event
is:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/ascomponents_7.html#170959
I get it that what I choose for the name parameter is what listeners
will have to register against. I don't get the 'type' param. Am I
needing to make that package of the current class?
[Event(name=itsGreaterThanZero, type=com.foo.bar.whatHere)]
Also, the sample doesn't make clear how to pass custom (runtime) data.
I'm working with code that needs to dispatch a custom event when a
given value is found to be 0. The method in question is in a class
that extends UIComponent.
Any help much appreciated.

[flexcoders] Need array example
I need an example of copying fields in an array to another array, but I don't want the fields to be pass-by-reference. I'm trying to create a holdingarray for input in a datagrid. This is code I have used. holdData[6] = quickEntryGrid.dataProvider[i].timerecordTrcPayRateAmount; holdData[7] = quickEntryGrid.dataProvider[i].timerecordTrcSickLeaveHours; holdData[8] = quickEntryGrid.dataProvider[i].timerecordTrcVacationHours; holdData[9] = quickEntryGrid.dataProvider[i].timerecordTrcRegularHours; holdData[10] = quickEntryGrid.dataProvider[i].timerecordTrcStraightOvertmHours; holdData[11] = quickEntryGrid.dataProvider[i].timerecordTrcPremiumOvertmHours; holdData[12] = quickEntryGrid.dataProvider[i].timerecordTrcOtherHours; holdData[13] = quickEntryGrid.dataProvider[i].timerecordTrcOtherHoursCode; holdRowData[i] = holdData; The problem is that whenever a user inputs data into the quickEntryGrid, it is reflected in the holdRowData, which I need to contain the original values before the user enters any data. If I can't use a holding array, do I have other options? Dee A. Chilcoat Enterprise Web Application Development University of California San Diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] (858) 534-0719

[flexcoders] Re: Extra pixels on right side of TileList.
--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How are you trying to get the size to be an integer number of tiles? I'm letting Flex handle that, just as I would if I were working in HTML and using a table. It's sizing the TileList, and my expectation was that it would size it snugly around the content. You might need paddingRight=0 on VBox or HBox? I tried that already. The padding is inside the TileList. The TileList is the only thing that is that purple color. If I add padding to the vbox, you can see that there are empty pixels to the right of the TileList AND the TabBar. If you break in SystemManager.mouseDownHandler, the event.target should be the container or control that owns the pixels you clicked on. I added a click handler on the TileList as a shortcut to this. The target is the ListBaseContentHolder with the parent id = calendarDays.

Re: [flexcoders] How to support both PERCENT and ABSOLUTE values in one attribute?
I wrote up a description of the PercentProxy metadata tag a long time ago. It was for Flex 2, but I think it still applies to Flex 3 as well. Also, see the docs. http://nondocs.blogspot.com/2007/04/metadatapercentproxy.html - Daniel Freiman On Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 3:49 PM, Baz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, A really convenient feature of flex is how you can provide either a PERCENT or ABSOLUTE measurement for WIDTH or HEIGHT of containers, and the compiler figures out which is which for you. I have a component called Content which is composed of two other components called LeftColumn and RightColumn. I would like for whoever is using the Content component to be able to supply a leftColumnWidth in either PERCENT or ABSOLUTE. The value would then get passed directly into the WIDTH attribute of the internal sub-component LeftColumn. Basically, I just need to pass-through a value from one component to another. The problem is what data type to make the leftColumnWidth property? A STRING does not accept the absolute values, and a NUMBER does not accept percentages. The framework itself uses a compiler directive called PERCENTPROXY to solve this issue before it even gets to the data type, but is that what I should do too just to pass a value from one component to another? Thanks for reading this, Baz

Re: [flexcoders] Understanding Custom Event Creation
Another tip is to listen to system-wide bubbling events on systemManager
rather than Applicaion.application, as anything in a popup is not actually
parented by your Application and you'll miss the events. That one bit me
hard before I learned :)

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Credit Card Processing
I wouldn't use Flex to process credit card - I would use your backend server like ColdFusion or PHP. You send the CC info to the server over SSL/Encrypted and then the server will post to the processor. I use authorize.net and I have never had a problem. There are CF tags out there for doing it, and all you do is fill in the blanks. Some of the things you pass are the login and password, hence you don't want that stored in the Flex app that can be decompiled. When it comes to peoples money, you need to be as careful as possible. There are other solutions, where you can pop open up a webpage and pass info to it (like your account # and the amount to charge, etc) and the end user is filling out the CC info on a different site - then you get an email that it happened and you ship the product. However, this makes your company feel small and you lose orders because people get scared off. Anyway, use the server technology to do the processing, and never leave anything dangerous in your Flex app. Just my 2 cents.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: OOP and Work for Hire
I've stayed away from this conversation because I agree with Doug that this conversation has been kind of intense and in some cases borderline ridiculous. But if he's bowing out I have to speak up and say he has been correct on almost everything. To OVERSIMPLIFY: Copyright protects code. Patents protect algorithms. If they patent it, you can't use the algorithm again, and thus not the code that implements that algorithm either. If they copyright it (which in the U.S. happens automatically), then you can't use the code. Generally, (although not universally) you can use algorithm unencumbered. That being said, you may be able to use small pieces of the code if they are not specific to the project. (an example from other industries: a specific line of a movie script maybe be protected by copyright, but the line I'm tired. definitely can't be protected by copyright because it's already ubiquitous and the concept behind it is universal, also I so far have ignored fair use). To be safe, don't copy and paste code because that it may be infringement no matter what. These distinctions are admittedly HIGHLY subjective (as noted by all of my equivocating phrases). Lastly, we seem to be ignoring (or conflating) the definition of work for hire which is different from both of the above. Honestly, I don't know the legal definition of work for hire, so I'm not going to try to define it legally. Based on what I've read, work for hire (the legal definition) may not even cover software code in which case the contract would be the only thing that matters. I'm not sure of that one. Many contracts sign over the rights to the copyright to the company. Patents are a more thorny issue in this case so I'm going to ignore them, but note that they are an issue. Most importantly, I have seen work for hire contracts that sign over to the company any rights to your own ideas (code or otherwise) which are derived from the project. (You're going to need a lawyer to interpret the previous sentence properly.) Also, I've seen some contracts that sign over your code, even if you've previously used that code before (so you'd loose control of parts of your code library) so watch out for that. Also, a disclaimer. We're on the internet. Laws differ from country to country. So it's possible people (including me) have been giving you advice on the incorrect set of law (I'm in the U.S.), and so far, I don't think anyone has claimed to be a lawyer. To get back to your original question, you make them sound reasonable, so I think you just need to tell them why you want to keep non-exclusive rights to your code. They're probably know how to deal with that. I would make sure to explicitly include previously written code in an the exempted list as well as implementations, algorithms and UI that can deal with data in a manner not specific to the project (and get a lawyer to translate what I just said, because I'm not even sure I know). I sit here in the t-shirt I got for getting into law school and am thinking that I'm glad I didn't go because our job is so much more fun. Two, or three cents from a non-lawyer. - Daniel Freiman On Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 11:16 AM, Doug McCune [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm bowing out of this discussion.

The overall opinion that you don't need to worry about re-using your source code from other clients' projects is simply false, and has the potential to get you into a lot of legal trouble.

[flexcoders] Quick Start - Newbie help with Flex
Hello all, I'm rather new to Flex but I see some exciting things that can be accomplished with Flex. In the past, I would try to get Flash to do everything that Flex can do now, with less work and effort. Anyway, I am using self-paced methods to learn Flex CS3 and be able to use it in my work with my clients/customers. I have the text: Flex Builder CS3 Training from the Source, which is a great text. I also use the training videos on Lynda.com for learning Flex. I'd like to see if there are some quick start texts or information on the web that someone knows about. While it won't replace learning and putting time into doing a lot of Flex Development, there are some tools and applications that I see that could be put into place on some of my sites and etc. Both training tools that I have, present a single project that is developed over the course of the training. This is good, except when you just need a few Flex components, menus, etc, etc. If I wasn't looking to have the entire site done entirely in Flex but wanted to use some Flex tools/components/applications, things would be different than if I were creating an entire web application within Flex, with XML or a database. The training I mentioned does not get into deploying the content and the Flex Designs until one is far into the text or training. I won't always need that much knowledge each time I create something using Flex CS3. So, if anyone could recommend additional training material, online or texts, please let me know, Thanks, Bruce
