Re: [flexcoders] Re: Splitting FlexCoders in smaller, focused groups
Well, given that we set up the javaflexcoders list and the phpflexcoders list and they get some traffic but not a lot, I don't know how actively we'll promote. As far as assigning moderators, I don't want to take that on. Set up the list, run it for a while, see if it takes. In the meantime, as I've said all along, I'm going to continue working with the team at Adobe as we try to move our forum infrastructure to a much better place. Long term I think having that system which can operate with multiple sections, multiple email addresses, nntp support, visibility into what's been answered and what hasn't, user ratings, etc is the right thing to do and I'd rather invest my energy towards that. I'm not going to do anything to prevent anyone from setting up whatever list they want. Folks do it all the time, there's a Flex list on houseoffusion and that attracts some CF folks. There is a Google list that still gets a few posts a month. Those Java and PHP lists that I mentioned, or the weborb stuff that you've mentioned. Our team was needed to get flexcoders off the ground, but I think we're far enough along that guaranteed Adobe presence is not a requirement for a successful list.

I'll tell you honestly Anatole, I've been an enterprise developer for 25 years. From EDLIN to Flex, I've seen it; so please don't propose that you have some un-known insight to software development. This list, and the Macromedia based essence of theme for Flex that has been a huge success, doesn't care about you or me.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm Event Question
First you have to understand the concept of Cairngorm and then UM extensions. Especially in light of what you're trying to achieve. Recoding your project in Cairngorm manner might be an issue depending on how far are you with it and how many developers are on it. It is very straightforward otherwise and I would most definitely recommend you to start using it. If you need some guidance on Cairngorm let us know, but the good starting point would be this: http://cairngormdocs.org/, read the six part article that you find there. The basic idea behind Caringorm is a simple MVC architecture where you make the view as dumb as possible, it just dispatches the events based on (user) actions.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm Event Question
Tim, I don't use UM extensions and I'm totally able to notify my views just with Cairngorm. What I use usually is a model ( no matter what it is ) that I inject to my event , passes to the command and then on result/fault I update the same model. Since the model passes by reference, my view, which is listening (binding) to that model, can react to the 'notification'. -- João Fernandes http://www.onflexwithcf.org http://www.riapt.org Portugal Adobe User Group (http://aug.riapt.org)

The array accessor [] does not quite duplicate what eval() used to. From my recollection you could actually run code with eval, which of course is impossible to do with []. I know there's a way to do code injection in AS3, but I don't remember the tecnique offhand. The interesting thing about [] of course is that AS3 can do two-dimensional arrays, and you can chain two array accessors together to make both the object and its property dynamic, like so: this.someInstance. someProperty == this[myObject ][daProp ] Which makes things very interesting. Of course this only works if the property exists or the class is dynamic.

You need to understand how to use an Array to keep track of multiple instances. It's easy: 1. Declare an instance var of type Array and initialize it to an empty Array: public var textBoxes:Array = []; 2. Every time to create a new TextBox, push it into the Array. For example, inside some method, do var textBox:TextBox = new TextBox(); textBox.foo = bar; addChild(textBox) ; textBoxes.push( textBox); 3. In any other method, you can refer to textBox[i] to get the ith one you created.

No worries, the equivalent of eval(movie_ number_ + idNumber); would be: this[movie_ number_ + idNumber]; To explain, in actionscript 3 (and in Javascript), these two references are equivalent: this.someField = true; this[someField ] = true; trace(the value is + anObject.button7) ; trace(the value is + anObject[button7 ]); Notice the fact that it's a string.

[flexcoders] Re: string to actual actionscript code?
You could not run code with eval(), for sure in AS2. I can't say for
sure in AS1, as I never used that.
If I understand correctly, the only way to let flash run code
dynamically is through loading a SWF , the path of which could be
dynamic like based on day or user input ?

I'm fairly certain that while you could run code with eval() it wouldn't
have any side effects. It was some sort of temporary scope that was

effects by calling a function. But, last time I wrote AS2 code, it was

The interesting thing about [] of course is that AS3 can do
two-dimensional arrays, and you can chain two array accessors
together to make both the object and its property dynamic, like so:
this.someInstance.someProperty
==
this[myObject][daProp]
Which makes things very interesting. Of course this only works if the
property exists or the class is dynamic.
A for loop and the [] syntax is much lower level and much more efficient
than a repeater, but of course a repeater is bindable and has other

[flexcoders] focus out of the flash player
I have a requirement to dismiss a dialog if the flash player loses focus (e.g. someone clicks outside of the player). I'm using the Flex 2.0.01 SDK (hotfix 3) with IE 7 and Flash Player 9.

I've been keying off of if (event.relatedObject == null) //then assume the player's lost focus. The problem is that if my dialog contains a DropDown and the DropDown is opened, then I'm getting an event that also has a null value for relatedObject. I don't want to close the dialog if someone opens a DropDown :-) I've also tried focus-out handlers on the root and the dialog window objects (my dialog is subsclass of TitleWindow), but they have a similar result. Any suggestions? Is there another sort of event that will tell me when the Player has lost focus to the browser or another app? Thanks, Glenn

[flexcoders] Re: A great feature for Flex Builder would be getter and setter automation.
Please remember that if all you need is default behavior as the script
you provided does, that is implicitly provided by creating your var
public in AS3.
Yes, it feels funny having a public member variable coming from Java
since it is bad to expose your objects state. But, if you need to
intercept the set or get then you can provide the get and/or set
method and your other code need not change. You only need getters and
setters in Java from the start because there is not implicit mechanism
for them. Having getters and setters that are unnecessary and do
nothing special just bloats your code. So for that, I see getter and
setter generation for Flex/AS3 as unnecessary.
One last thing that will surely make eyes roll but...you should be
careful when arbitrarily generating getters and setters without
considering if that is what you REALLY should do. In the Java world,
we too often simply create some fields, generate getters and setters,

you have a very 'dead' model.

Subject: [flexcoders] A great feature for Flex Builder would be getter
and setter automation.
I use eclipse for Java development and there is a great feature where
you highlight your class variables, right click and select 'generate
getters and setters'. What a time saver.
Is there any plugins for Flex Builder that will do this? It is
getting annoying to type in the same basic plumbing for every class.
RE: [flexcoders] Re: A great feature for Flex Builder would be getter and setter automation.
You're getting into religious war territory there my friend! One that's been doing the blogs recently too... The OP wanted a way of generating getters / setters automatically... If we are running a master class here... I would suggest that you only ever generate getters for your model, and encapsulate the behaviour of the model in functions that relate to your use cases. Using public variables in the place of getters and setters reduces the level of thought required to code, but not necessarily in a good way as it then becomes much easier to break encapsulation. But as I said, religious war territory (and didn't we go through this recently on this list?) Gk.

Please remember that if all you need is default behavior as the script you provided does, that is implicitly provided by creating your var public in AS3. Yes, it feels funny having a public member variable coming from Java since it is bad to expose your objects state. But, if you need to intercept the set or get then you can provide the get and/or set method and your other code need not change. You only need getters and setters in Java from the start because there is not implicit mechanism for them. Having getters and setters that are unnecessary and do nothing special just bloats your code. So for that, I see getter and setter generation for Flex/AS3 as unnecessary. One last thing that will surely make eyes roll but...you should be careful when arbitrarily generating getters and setters without considering if that is what you REALLY should do. In the Java world, we too often simply create some fields, generate getters and setters, use the default constructor only. We then use the class like a C-style struct with essentially public fields anyway. Keep your mind engaged when developing classes.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Splitting FlexCoders in smaller, focused groups
Thank you for the honesty, Tim.

[flexcoders] Return data to FileReference
Here is the situation: I am uploading files from Flex to a Servlet using the FileReferenceList class. Since there is no way to change the filename before it is uploaded, I am passing along a parameter which holds the file name I would like the file to ultimately be saved as. On the server side, all is well. The file is uploaded and then renamed to my parameter name. So my question is, is there a way to pass the new filename back to Flex so that I can access it within the FileReference Event.COMPLETE event listener? Rich
[flexcoders] SWF does not work in IE, but does in FF??????
This is actually happening more than and more to use. Our application when running from FireFox works great. But when we run it in IE it doesn't. First time it happened FF ran great, but IE would give a null pointer on something that in no way could be null as one line new'd it, the next line set a variable on it. Weird thing here is that I commented out those two lines of code, worked in both FF and IE. Uncommented the lines again and then it worked in both. grrr Next time we had a DataGrid with width=100%. FF had it expand the full 100%, IE did not. This next one we had a VBox. FF displayed it fine, IE didn't display it at all. Now what we have found is that when we create a release build everything works in both FF and IE when deployed to a server. We have tried clean builds. Even deleted the bin-debug folder and did a clean build. Removed both FF and IE browser cache including cookies. So it seems this has something to do with FlexBuilder. We have some developers using FlexBuilder and some using Eclipse + FB plugin. Once this happens and everything committed to SubVersion, then it happens on all developers boxes. Anyone else ever experience this? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Dale

Nope, not seen any, you could vote for/create a bug in Jira though. If there isn't then maybe we have a community project ;-) The trouble is, and this is also true of ColdFusion developers using Eclipse, that there is a fairly small cross over of skill between those who can write Java and those who use Java-based tools.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm Event Question
Josh, (also coming from a non-Cairngorm guy) I find it helpful to distinguish between presentation models and data models, and that's a way that status flags etc. need not be regarded as pollution. Just put them in a separate object. There's no rule that says views can only have a reference to one non-local object. Just like the data model, the presentation model(s) may or may not actually be shared by more than one view. A reference can be passed along with events and used by the controller. Having said that, I don't disagree that there may be a place for a more generic way for the controller to notify the view. I believe PureMVC has some sore of Notifier. - RIchard On Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 5:37 PM, Josh McDonald [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Disclaimer: I don't use Cairngorm or UM, so I might be wrong! But I do take a keen interest in all that is Flex :) Basically, in Cairngorm, from your View, you dispatch an event telling your command to do some stuff, and then you wait for the model to change before the view knows to take some action (like say mark the data as saved on-screen, or close a dialog, etc). Which eventually leads to your model being polluted with things like status flags, feedback, and other sneaky things that are really just a back-door direct coupling between command and view that shouldn't really be in your model. When you build a UMEvent, before you dispatch it you say something like myEvent.successCallback = this.thingsWereDoneHandler; myEvent.failCallback = this.somethingWentWrongHandler; dispatchEvent(myEvent); And the UM extensions will keep track of your event, and anything that is kicked off by the command, and will call back into your view object to let it know the success / failure of whatever you may have initiated. -Josh On Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 10:27 AM, donvoltz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for your responses.

I'm experiencing a strange issue: I'm not able to run my Flex app using the release player (I tried Firefox2/player 9.0.124, IE5.5/player 9.0.47 and IE7/player 9.0.124). The page contains a blank swf (when I right click I can see the Flash player menu). The same application works in all browsers using a debug player. The swf doesn't work even if I try to access it directly, while I'm able to run other Flex applications both standalone and using the HTML wrapper. I'm using the Flex 2 SDK hotfix 2 command line compiler. I actually don't know what has caused this behaviour since I use a debug player 99% of time... a colleague discovered this while testing the application. A possibile hint: this morning, using the debug player, I saw a popup window prompting me for the location of the debugger or the profiler: this happens occasionally and, until now, I didn't pay much attention to it (don't know exactly why it appears, I'm compiling using the same options since many months). When I switched to the runtime player the swf seemed to freeze at the same point, though in this case I didn't see the popup window. Maybe this window and the blank page issue are related? Obviously I cannot force my customers to install a debug player ;- ) Any help appreciated. Bye, Andrea
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Return data to FileReference
The event.result should contain whatever your server sends back, just
like with a normal httpservice request. Below is the code I am using.
I send back an xml status node, but you could send anything:

private function onUploadComplete(event:DataEvent):void {
var sData:String = event.data;
var xmlStatus:XML = XML(sData);
if ([EMAIL PROTECTED] == error) {
this.height = 200;
lbStatus.setStyle(color,red);
lbStatus.text = Error Uploading File:;
txtError.text = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
sCloseMode = ioerror
//_timerStatus.delay = 6000;
//_timerStatus.start()
}
else {
_numCurrentUpload++;

startUpload(false);

Re: [flexcoders] Verifyed RSL Digests for 3.0.2.2113 for framework caching
Understand that caching is important. One reason that we don't necessarily push SWZs for stable builds though is that I don't have a great sense of how many folks are updating yet. We're going to watch the numbers. If everyone is really upgrading to the latest SDK stable build, then we can consider posting SWZs. But since a stable is supposed to come out every 60 days or sooner, that's a lot of cached RSLs that could end up out there. We do want to work on making it so that it's easier to apply a patch and still take advantage of the cache though. The problem is how the Flash Player loads stuff, if you apply a patch to a class that's a leaf, all of its dependencies must be loaded before it, and half the time that will negate the benefit of the cache. So we need to figure it out better. Some of the new framework architecture stuff we're looking at may help with this. Anyway, I'll keep an eye on things and we'll see what we can do.

[flexcoders] SOAP request has 2 elements generated twice thus throwing an error.
Hi All,
I have used the Import WSDL introspection tool by Flex builder and I manage
to go around all the hassles and finally able to contact the web services

BTW, thanks to Seth Hodgson for taking time to answer my queries in my

But right now i'm getting a user error:

Looking at the SOAP request, I realized that the login element was

Has anyone who used the WSDL introspection tool experienced this before?
Any help or ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] Re: A great feature for Flex Builder would be getter and setter automation.
Obviously I would not suggest breaking encapsulation. I guess I would
suggest not 'generating' accessors/mutators rather give it thought and
add them as you should. Also I was trying, although I admit poorly,
to make sure a Java developer coming into Flex/AS3 does not miss some
of the powerful things provided that Java does not provide like
implicit getters/setters.
For example...
public class MyClass
{
public var message:String
}
is the same as:
public class MyClass
{
private var _message:String
public function get message() : String
{
return message
}
public function set message( message:String ) : void
{
_message = message
}
}
If you need to do something 'extra' in the getter/setter later you
still can in the first instance but if you don't, the second option is
overly verbose and doesn't take advantage of the languages richness
and implicit getters and setters. Generating getters and setter when
they are provided 'invisibly' is foolish and wasted effort for
FlexBuilder developers. Let them focus on more interesting things and
not on sedating us Java developers that want to do it the Java-way and
are reluctant to understand the interesting features of a new language.
Forget the old and learn new... Java is static but ActionScript3
has some neat dynamic features that we shouldn't get crazy with but we
should take advantage of when applicable. Always keep the brain
engaged. Not religious, just good advice. Put your braces where you
want to. Mine will be lined up though. ;-)

If we are running a master class here... I would suggest that you only
ever generate getters for your model, and encapsulate the behaviour of
the model in functions that relate to your use cases.
Using public variables in the place of getters and setters reduces the
level of thought required to code, but not necessarily in a good way as
it then becomes much easier to break encapsulation.

Please remember that if all you need is default behavior as the script
you provided does, that is implicitly provided by creating your var
public in AS3.
Yes, it feels funny having a public member variable coming from Java
since it is bad to expose your objects state. But, if you need to
intercept the set or get then you can provide the get and/or set
method and your other code need not change. You only need getters and
setters in Java from the start because there is not implicit mechanism
for them. Having getters and setters that are unnecessary and do
nothing special just bloats your code. So for that, I see getter and
setter generation for Flex/AS3 as unnecessary.
One last thing that will surely make eyes roll but...you should be
careful when arbitrarily generating getters and setters without
considering if that is what you REALLY should do. In the Java world,
we too often simply create some fields, generate getters and setters,
use the default constructor only. We then use the class like a
C-style struct with essentially public fields anyway. Keep your mind
engaged when developing classes. If you are generating lots of code
that you never refactor to something more pertinent to your domain,
you have a very 'dead' model.

[flexcoders] Repeater items with two states and dataProvider binding resetting state
I have a Repeater which is repeating an item with two states (an open state and a closed state), when I open one one of the items I then load some extra data in. When the extra data is loaded the item in the data provider (an array collection) is replaced - that way everything is updated via the bindings. The problem I have is that when the array collection binding fires the Repeater recreates/refreshes each of the items so any that were open close, which is, of course, not what I want. I'll probably have to code this all up myself without using the Repeater, but I wondered if anyone else had any thoughts before I start down that path.
[flexcoders] showDataEffect sequence lost when swapping bubble series dynamically
Hello,
I have created a bubble chart programatically. I init the bubble
chart with a datasource (xml object) that I get once from a web service.
However, after the data is loaded, the user will have the chance to
swap the axes. Meaning that if my original series is:
mx:BubbleSeries showDataEffect={eff} xField=A yField=B
radiusField=P/
I wanted to dynamically change for this one
mx:BubbleSeries showDataEffect={eff} xField=B yField=P
radiusField=A/
Or any possible combination. I manage to do this with AS, however I
notice that the SeriesInterpolate effect will not work unless you
change the chart dataset or add a myChart.hideData().
I do not change my dataset, what I do is create a new bubbleseries
with the user selection, push it into the bubble chart, and call the
hideData so that this will trigger the effect.
However bubbles do not move to their new positions, instead they
jump to the new position and that's it.
You guys have any idea is this can be accomplished? I'm wondering if
the way the SeriesInterpolate effect works requires the series fields
to be kept??
Thanks a lot for your help!

Gordon,
Forgive me (or ignore this) if it's in the docs.
Does this assume that the ResourceManager.getString call is in the
binding expression?
Currently I have some static utilities that load strings like Hello,
{0} from properties files and then do parameter substitution. I've
been wondering how that would work out in a runtime locale switching
scenario.

The event.result should contain whatever your server sends back,
just like
with a normal httpservice request. Below is the code I am using.
I send

*var* sData:String = event.data;
*var* xmlStatus:XML = XML(sData);

lbStatus.setStyle(*color*,*red*);
lbStatus.text = *Error Uploading File:*;
txtError.text = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
sCloseMode = *ioerror*
*//_timerStatus.delay = 6000;*

Yes, but that file name is the name that was selected by the user,
not the
one that the file was actually renamed to by the servlet.

Here is the situation:
I am uploading files from Flex to a Servlet using the
FileReferenceList

uploaded, I
am passing along a parameter which holds the file name I would
like the file
to ultimately be saved as.
On the server side, all is well. The file is uploaded and then
renamed to
my parameter name.
So my question is, is there a way to pass the new filename back to
Flex so
that I can access it within the FileReference Event.COMPLETE event

RE: [flexcoders] internationalization @ switching runtime
If you're not using MXML databinding to write code like
Button id=b label={resourceManager.getString(...)}/
then you can override the resourcesChanged() method and reassign the new
string, as in
b.label = resourceManager.getString(...);
The ResourceManager works with resources in ResourceBundles, which
normally get compiled from .properties files. Are you loading
.properties files at runtime and parsing them yourself to get keys and
values? In that case, you can create new instances of ResourceBundle at
runtime, put your resources into them, and install them into the
ResourceManager like this:
var rb:ResourceBundle = new ResourceBundle(locale, bundleName);
rb.content[key1] = value1;
rb.content[key2] = value2;
...
resourceManager.addResourceBundle(rb);

RE: [flexcoders] internationalization @ switching runtime
In that case, I don't think the binding expression will re-evaluate when
the localeChain changes. It may be easiest to override
resourcesChanged(). But you could also try doing some extra work to get
the binding expression to re-evaluate. Try putting [Bindable(change)]
metadata on your declaration of the buildTitle() method, and arrange for
the class buildTitle() is in to redispatch the ResourceManager's
change events.

Re: [flexcoders] focus out of the flash player
Much better :-) The DEACTIVATE had none of the ambiguity of the FOCUS_OUT. I still had a problem simply closing the dialog when an item-editor was active - seems like there were events still queued which would NPE when they fired after the controls had been deleted. But I worked around that by using the deactivateHandler to raise a flag that told focusOutHandler when it was safe to act.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Return data to FileReference
Are you saying, complete event is of type flash.events.Event and does
not have a data property... because of the docs? (which do not list a
data property)
Because I am not proposing a theoretical solution, this is operating
code. I am a bit confused, though about the event datatypes. While I
am listening for flash.events.Event from Filereference, my listener is
typing the argument as DataEvent, and no exception is thrown, and I can
access the .data property.
Per the docs, flash.events.DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA
http://127.0.0.1:54009/help/nftopic/com.adobe.flexbuilder.help/langref/
flash/events/DataEvent.html#UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA is the correct event
to use.

The event.result should contain whatever your server sends back, just
like with a normal httpservice request. Below is the code I am using.
I send back an xml status node, but you could send anything:
Tracy
// Called on upload complete
private function onUploadComplete(event:DataEvent):void {
var sData:String = event.data;
var xmlStatus:XML = XML(sData);
if ([EMAIL PROTECTED] == error) {
this.height = 200;
lbStatus.setStyle(color,red);
lbStatus.text = Error Uploading File:;
txtError.text = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
sCloseMode = ioerror
//_timerStatus.delay = 6000;
//_timerStatus.start()
}
else {
_numCurrentUpload++;
if (_numCurrentUpload _aUploadFiles.length) {
startUpload(false);
} else {

sCloseMode = success

[flexcoders] Re: Menubar Styling
Hi Nicholas,
The dropdowns are Menu controls, so you can create these styles in your
CSS file; or your method of choice for setting styles.
MenuBar
{
fontSize: 14;
color: #ff;
fontFamily: arial;
}
Menu
{
fontSize: 16;
color: #ff;
rollOverColor: #22;
textRollOverColor: #ff9900;
selectionColor: #33;
textSelectedColor: #ff9900;
fontFamily: arial;
dropShadowEnabled: true;
shadow-direction: right;
background-color: #00;
background-alpha: 1;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #4e5968;
border-thickness: 2;
}
You can also get to the individual dropdown menus, to set styles or a
styleName, with something like this:
myMenuBar.getMenuAt(0).setStyle('color', '#ff');

The problem I have is that when the array collection binding fires the Repeater recreates/refreshes each of the items so any that were open close, which is, of course, not what I want. I'll probably have to code this all up myself without using the Repeater, but I wondered if anyone else had any thoughts before I start down that path.

[flexcoders] Re: internationalization @ switching runtime
A trick that I have used in this case (when overriding
resourcesChanged is inconvenient) is to add a property to your
whatever.properties file that has no value but accepts a parameter
like the following.
eval = {0}
Then, in your mxml component, do something like the following.
mx:Label
text={resourceManager.getString('whatever','eval',[buildTitle(someParameter)])}/
This will reevaluate when the locale is changed, and the eval property
will simply pass through the new value. Voila!

The ResourceManager works with resources in ResourceBundles, which
normally
get compiled from .properties files. Are you loading .properties
files at
runtime and parsing them yourself to get keys and values? In that
case, you
can create new instances of ResourceBundle at runtime, put your
resources

var rb:ResourceBundle = new ResourceBundle(locale, bundleName);
rb.content[key1] = value1;

Fine. Can you just show me a simple example of how to Just add the label when you subclass. Real code is most convincing and helpful to me. And you blog is cool, but it just seems not so easy to dig up the specific snippet I need in a short time. Thank you again. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There are no hard rules here. I'm a code minimalist and don't like adding layers of code and display object parents unless it is really important. Adding one child is not worthy of another layer IMHO, so I'd just subclass, and I don't see why such a subclass wouldn't be reusable. See the examples on my blog (blogs.adobe.com/aharui). The more stuff you add, the slower things get and more memory they take. MXML is convenient, but not as efficient. It's up to you. If you do composite, the trick should be propagating the data object from the container to the children. Also, you should never call addChild in a constructor. We have a component lifecycle documented for performance reasons.
