[flexcoders] Setting unique ID with repeater and custom component
I am using the Tile Component along with a repeater and then a custom
component (image control). Is it possible to give the custom component
a unique id/name? I have tried to use a variable associated with the
current repeater item ({repeater.currentItem.name}), however, it does
not seem that this is possible as I am getting an error that the ID is
not a valid identifier.
Thanks for any and all replies.

Yep, it's a language feature, which is not there. I think it is called
covariant return types.
Afaik, all you can do is check the type and cast.

I'm running into a wall when trying to use extension with interfaces.
The example I'm about to provide works using Java, so I believe the
OOP practices behind it are valid. But I can't figure out how to
accomplish the same thing in Flex, I keep running into compiler
issues. The example is a condensed version of something I'm working
on, for simplicity sake.
Let's say you have a bunch of events that all have some common
functionality, like the ability to have a nextEvent. Also, a subset
of those events also have additional functionality, they can be
filtered by a type of criteria. We'll call them search events.
Now, there are some parts of the application that can work with any
type of search event, and any type of criteria. But when the
individual searches are executed, that implementation expects a
specific type of search event and search criteria. That's my end goal
here.
Here are the interfaces I'm using:
public interface ICriteria
{
// just a marker
}
public interface ICustomCriteria extends ICriteria
{
function get name():String;
function set name(name:String):void;
}
public interface IEvent
{
function get nextEvent():IEvent;
function set nextEvent(event:IEvent):void;
}
public interface ISearchEvent
{
function get criteria():ICriteria;
function set criteria(criteria:ICriteria):void;
}
So far, so good. And now the implementing classes:
// would like to make this an abstract class, but not supported in AS
public class BaseEvent implements IEvent
{
private var _nextEvent:IEvent;
public function set nextEvent(event:IEvent):void
{
this._nextEvent = event;
}
public function get nextEvent():IEvent
{
return this._nextEvent;
}
}
// would like to make this an abstract class, but not supported in AS
public class BaseSearchEvent extends BaseEvent implements ISearchEvent
{
private var _criteria:ICriteria;
public function set criteria(criteria:ICriteria):void
{
this._criteria = criteria;
}
public function get criteria():ICriteria
{
return this._criteria;
}
}
Those base classes are fine and compile correctly. Now if you
remember from the requirements, there are some places that can work
with any type of ISearchEvent, and some places that can only work with
an individual subclass. Here is where the compiler errors come in.
Doing what I am about to do works in Java, and I'm wondering if there
is a way to accomplish it in AS3.
public class CustomSearchEvent extends BaseSearchEvent
{
private var _criteria:ICustomCriteria;
public override function get criteria():ICustomCriteria
{
return this._criteria;
}
public override function set criteria(criteria:ICustomCriteria):void
{
this._criteria = criteria;
}
}
The above class does not compile because the method signatures for
get/set criteria are different than those specified in the interface.
But from an OO perspective, I think this is a valid thing to want to
do. If you're working with an ISearchEvent instance, you should be
able to subclass the base class and provide custom behavior. The
ICustomCriteria is a subclass of ICriteria, so you should be able to
substitute them in this context. Is there another way to accomplish
this? Or is this just a language feature that's not there?

[flexcoders] Priting to Zebra Label printer?
Is there any proper, crossplatform way of printing to LPT1 directly from an AIR App? We need to send ZPL directly to a Zebra Label printer from a local AIR app. ZPL is a simple text-based language specifically for the Zebra range of printers. We cannot use the method of printing offered by AIR where you add a display object to the print job because print data is rendered as a bitmap. The Zebra printers aren't very good with bitmaps, and we would certainly never be able to use barcodes with this printing method One approach would be to mandate that the user has the Zebra connected directly to their machine on LPT1, but I can't find any api in AIR that allows me to write text to a port like that. We have connected the Zebra printer to a little Print Server thing that has an ethernet port and a parallel port, and I should therefore be able to use the Socket class to send the ZPL directly to the port. But that throws an error, and I've asked about that in a separate question entitled #2031: Socket Error. Thanks, Ed. However, AIR only allows
[flexcoders] #2031: Socket Error
I'm trying to send a simple string to a Printer Server on our network.
The text is a language called ZPL which is going to our little print

I want the xField to be derived from the date attribute in the dataPoint
- no problem. I want the yField to be based on the yVal attribute in the
series (parent of the dataPoints) element. How can I do this?
mx:PlotSeries

xField=@date
yField= ?? What do I put here ??

There must be a way. Please help! Thanks
THE FOLLOWING WORKS but I don't want to have to repeat the y value in
every data point.
series
dataPoint date='12/01/2004' yVal='Weight'/
dataPoint date='12/25/2004' yVal='Weight'/

If you have something like this:
mx:Repeater id=theRepeater dataProvider={yourAC}
yourNS:YourComponent id=foo/
/mx:Repeater
then you can refer to any repeated component by its index within foo.
i.e. foo[0] is the first component. This is pretty thoroughly

Re: [flexcoders] RadioButton change event not firing in Flex 3 when button in group is deselected
Not using eclipse' SVN, I hate it :) I went with regular old diff.

[flexcoders] Auto include of compile date within SWF
I want the ability of being able to display within a flex app the date of compilation of the swf file from the Flex code. Is this achievable? I remember from using VB 6 many years ago that you could set your own version number and have it increment every time the VB was compiled to an exe. Ideally I want this but I think it is impossible, so I will make do with date / time if possible. Andrew

[flexcoders] Which event is dispatched when the view is shown by a stage change?
Hello,
I have a:
- Container with two states ( and editing)
- A view (LocaleEditor.mxml) that is shown when the container changes
to the state editing:
mx:states
mx:State name=editing
mx:RemoveChild target={listaDeLocales}/
mx:AddChild relativeTo={gestorDeLinguas}
position=lastChild
ns1:LocaleEditor id=localeEditor/
/mx:AddChild
/mx:State
/mx:states
I need my view to execute some code when it is shown
(myTextBox.setFocus() ). I have tried the creationComplete event, but
the view is only created on the first time the state changes, the next
times this event is not dispatched. I have tried the AddedToStage, but
it throws a runtime error with the myTextBox.setFocus() code . I have
tried the show event, but it simply doesn't work.
Which event should I rely on to execute the myTextBox.setFocus()
when the user sees the view?
Thanks,
João Saleiro
[flexcoders] flex and automation
There are no flex user groups in my area and I've been trying for a long time to find a solution to this problem with no success. I need to generate a series of charts every few minutes/hours/days on an automated basis. I pull the data for the charts from the database and draw the chart, then save it as an image and potentially notify someone where they can find the image as a png or a pdf. I am using java on the backend to communicate with the database and flex to draw the charts. The same app which draws the chart can also be called by a user to get a live snapshot. But the automation just isn't working. It works fine on my local development machine, but this application is deployed on a headless server and the flex process never gets to launch since it needs to run on a browser. I've looked at solutions for getting it to run headless but so far I can't get it to work. Does anyone know how to automate flex in this way? I know flex is meant to be interactive, but is there anyway I can still use the flex charting for automated output?

[flexcoders] Populating column chart with PHP MySQL
Hello, I have done this with many datagrids and had success but cant seem to get it to work with the column charts. I have several different queries in php where I get the data from but I dont know the format. an example of the php code below I would like to have $num_signage and $num_website as datagrid columns, plus I will be adding more queries later. I am thinking I would need to make the values of $num_signage and $num_website into some sort of an array so flex can read individaul results.. I have have been trying many things with no success. Any suggestions? Thanks $query_website = SELECT form.question_id, form.answer_id, form.add_date, answer.answer_id, answer.answer FROM form LEFT JOIN answer ON form.answer_id = answer.answer_id WHERE form.question_id ='10' and answer.answer = 'Website' and form.add_date BETWEEN DATE '2008-06-01' AND DATE '2008-06-29'; $result_website = mysql_query ($query_website); $num_rows_website = mysql_num_rows($result_website); $num_website = website_num$num_rows_website/website_num; print ($num_website); $query_signage = SELECT form.question_id, form.answer_id, form.add_date, answer.answer_id, answer.answer FROM form LEFT JOIN answer ON form.answer_id = answer.answer_id WHERE form.question_id ='10' and answer.answer = 'Signage' and form.add_date BETWEEN DATE '2008-06-01' AND DATE '2008-06-29'; $result_signage = mysql_query ($query_signage); $num_rows_signage = mysql_num_rows($result_signage); $num_signage = signage$num_rows_signage/signage; print ($num_signage);
[flexcoders] Browser Container
Hi, Is there a good browser framework so I can embed my flex application (deployed offline on desktop) not exactly by launching IE, but with customization, such as how it handles exit. I want to warn user to save their work before exiting, but the onbeforeunload() in javascript is truly an eyesore and there's no way around it. There are also times when Internet Explorer is displayed as much as I customize the logo and title bar. Thanks
[flexcoders] One custom component referring to another
I thought this would be simple - having one custom display object modify
another through a reference:
mx:Application
c:MyComponentA /
c:MyComponentB /
/mx:Application
I want to have MyComponentA refer to objects/methods inside of MyComponentB. I
tried passing a reference in:
mx:Application
c:MyComponentA id=myComponentA /
c:MyComponentB componentToModify={myComponentA}/
/mx:Application
But I get an error saying, Access of possibly undefined property myComponentA
through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
I tried calling parent.myComponentA from actionscript inside of
MyComponentB.MXML, but it couldn't find the instance of myComponentA.
How do you handle this? I know this probably isn't ideal architecture, but
would there have to be scripts that listen for events in one component in the
main app and then modify the other component? I guess I could do that if it is
best practice. I need the two components to be separated because they are two
different parts of the UI, but need to interact. One has controls that change
the view and data in the other. Does it have to modify the other component
from actionscript on the main app or can I just pass a reference into one
component like I have tried?
Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: One custom component referring to another
Jason,
In an ideal world, component A would throw events up. Those events
would be caught in the application (in this case) and call
corresponding methods in component B.
You really, really don't want to start coupling these components
together by calling the internals of one from the other in this way.
Especially when they really are peers in your application.
Just my 2 cents,
Mike

*Subject:* [flexcoders] httpservice and repetitive calls
I'm using the httpservice to make a call to an aspx page which runs a
query and returns the results. This is fine, but if I try to run the
same call again, the service is not actually going out to make the call,
but rather just returning the results from the previous call. I know
this because the aspx page logs each call made to it. I always see the
first call, but no subsequent calls come through if I post the same
data. If I send a different set of data, the call works fine, but then
will not post that data again. Any ideas on why it doesn't want to
actually make the call? Below are the relevant pieces of code:
script ...
public function lblClickHandler(event:Event):void{
tgtdata = event.currentTarget.data.toString();
customer_id = event.currentTarget.data;
useHttpService();
}
public function useHttpService():void {
userReq.url = dstURL; //set in another part of the code
userReq.method = GET;
var Obj:Object = new Object();
Obj.w = wispid; //wispid is just a number that is set
elsewhere
Obj.i = tgtdata;
userReq.send(Obj);
}
...
/script
mx:HTTPService id=userReq result=gethttpResult(event)
fault=handleFault(event) useProxy=false method=GET

RE: [flexcoders] Re: One custom component referring to another
My vote would be for changes in A to affect a central model. B would
watch the model change and reflect those changes. Everything B needs
from A would be reflected in the model. That's pretty much what Mike
said, except I'm not a fan of throwing events up if that means
bubbling. A should dispatch events that the app listens to in order
to change the central model.
However, I would think that there is some syntax that should have got
this past the compiler. If you use the MXMLC -keep option you can see
what it generated and maybe figure out why it didn't work.

Jason,
In an ideal world, component A would throw events up. Those events
would be caught in the application (in this case) and call
corresponding methods in component B.
You really, really don't want to start coupling these components
together by calling the internals of one from the other in this way.
Especially when they really are peers in your application.
Just my 2 cents,
Mike

[flexcoders] Re: Charting - setting yField property for a PlotSeries when dataProvider is XML
Thanks Jeff for responding.
Yes, the yField does not exist in the dataProvider itself but it does in
the parent of the dataProvider. Is there no way to reference this? or
can the dataProvider be specified in a different way? Is there a way to
set the value to a constant in the mx:PlotSeries tag?
What do you mean by: ...add theyVal attribute to each item. ?
One thing I CAN do is to convert the series into an ArrayCollection. I

[flexcoders] Re: Setting unique ID with repeater and custom component
I don't know about most people but I never need to know the id of a
repeated item.
All of the items I have in a repeater are instances of a specific
object. This object has class members and functions and can do
everything it needs to do on its own. If I need it to (Which is
infrequent) each object can get to its parent or even the Application
object itself.
So, I ask, Why would you need to refer to a repeated component?

If you have something like this:

then you can refer to any repeated component by its index within foo.
i.e. foo[0] is the first component. This is pretty thoroughly

When the event listener hears the event, change the currentState in the handler function. * Another way, is to bind a model variable to the currentState.

[flexcoders] Re: Which event is dispatched when the view is shown by a stage change?
Hi João,
This is kind of a hack, but you could try:
mx:State name=editing onEnter=localeEditor.myTextBox.setFocus()
If you used this, you would want to execute the setFocus code on
creationComplete of the editor; for the first time that the editor is
shown. Instead of useing states for something like this though, you
might want to consider using a ViewSTack instead. For those the show
event, in conjunction with creationComplete, would work; when changing
the container's selectedIndex.

can create new instances of ResourceBundle at runtime, put your

RE: [flexcoders] Server to client calls
Hi Luciano, You have two options for controlling/filtering which messages are pushed to subscribed Consumers. 1. Assign a selector expression to your Consumer before subscribing; this acts as a server-side filter that is evaluated against headers of messages sent to the destination. It's evaluated at the server, not at the client, and only messages that satisfy the expression are pushed to the Consumer. 2. Enabled subtopics for the destination and have each Consumer subscribe to a subtopic. You could have each Consumer subscribe to its own unique subtopic, or you can use subtopics to group sets of Consumers. When you generate messages on the server directly, you can target them to a specific destination's subtopic by adding a DSSubtopic header to the message you're sending.

[flexcoders] Getting parent information from AdvancedDataGrid
Hi, all; I have been using AdvancedDataGrid to display information in a HierarchicalCollection. The parent (container) items contain information on how the child items should be viewed. So the same child might be in the tree three different types under different parents. I left the view information in the container, since it has nothing to do with the actual data contained in the child object. The problem I am having is that I don't seem to be able to find a way to get at that data from the parent data when a user clicks on a child. Thanks :-) -Amy

Re: [flexcoders] Which event is dispatched when the view is shown by a stage change?
Hey João,
Posted online with SWF and View Source:
http://jonathanbranam.net/node/56
http://jonathanbranam.net/solutions/detect-state-addchild
There are two solutions that I've found to work in this case. This first is
to add a new public method to the component called activate() and then call
it from a handler on the
enterStatehttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/event/enterStateEvent.
The second is to listen to the
addedToStage http://jonathanbranam.net/flashphysiology/event/addedToStageand
updateComplete
http://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/event/updateCompleteevents,
set a flag in
addedToStage http://jonathanbranam.net/flashphysiology/event/addedToStagethat
you check in
updateComplete http://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/event/updateCompleteto
run your initialization.
Here is the code, example app, and more detailed explanation.
You can view the example on a separate
pagehttp://jonathanbranam.net/files/src/detect-state-addchild/DetectStateAddChild.htmland
view the source (View Source doesn't work in the embedded SWF below
due
to a bug in Flex Builder).
Explanation:
The first solution is easy and should be solid. The
enterStatehttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/event/enterStateEvent
fires after the component has been added to the stage (not during the
operation), so it is safer to access subcomponents. The method, however,
does not guarantee that the component has been fully updated yet. The
downside to this is adding more coupling between the
Statehttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/class/Stateand the
component.
1. mx:State name=solution1
2. mx:enterState
3. sol1.activate();
4. /mx:enterState
5. mx:RemoveChild target={noState}/
6. mx:AddChild
7. local:Solution1VBox id=sol1/
8. /mx:AddChild
9. /mx:State
The code in the component is equally obvious:
1. public function activate():void
2. {
3. ti.setFocus();
4. }
1. mx:Label text=Solution 1/
2. mx:TextInput text=No focus here!/
3. mx:TextInput id=ti text=Focus here!/
The second solution relies on the behavior of the
Statehttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/class/StateAddChild
operation. AddChild is true to its name, it will add and remove the
component from the display list. This means that the
addedhttp://jonathanbranam.net/flashphysiology/event/added,
addedToStage http://jonathanbranam.net/flashphysiology/event/addedToStage,
removed http://jonathanbranam.net/flashphysiology/event/removed, and
removedFromStagehttp://jonathanbranam.net/flashphysiology/event/removedFromStagemethods
will fire when the state is entered and exited. The trouble is that
the component has not been fully created when these events fire. The
solution I present here is to set a flag when the component has been added
to the stage so that the component knows that it needs to run its activation
code again:
1. protected var addedToStage:Boolean = false;
2. protected function addedToStageHandler(event:Event):void
3. {
4. if (event.target == this) {
5. addedToStage = true;
6. }
7. }
The next part of the solution uses the
updateCompletehttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/event/updateCompleteevent
to trigger the activation code. If the
addedToStage code has run since the most recent update, then we run the
activation code.
1. protected var addedToStage:Boolean = false;
2. protected function addedToStageHandler(event:Event):void
3. {
4. if (event.target == this) {
5. addedToStage = true;
6. }
7. }
Note that
updateCompletehttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/event/updateCompletefires
every time the component is invalidated through something like
invalidateDisplayList(). I put a button in the component so you can trigger
updateComplete http://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/event/updateComplete.
If you remove the check for addedToStage, then invalidating the component
will run the activation code again, which is not the desired behavior. See
the article on
updateCompletehttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/event/updateCompletefor
more information about this event.
1. mx:Label text=Solution 2/
2. mx:TextInput text=No focus here!/
3. mx:TextInput id=ti text=Focus here!/
4. mx:Button label=Invalidate Component click=
invalidateDisplayList()/
I'm not sure which solution I like better. The first is more direct and
should be more resistant to changes in implementation or functionality. If
you move from using AddChild to toggling visibility, then you can still call
the activate() method from the
enterStatehttp://jonathanbranam.net/flex3anatomy/event/enterStateEvent.
However, this type of change will break the second solution.
Ultimately, there isn't a single, reliable event that will tell your
component it has now become viewable so you have to code up

RE: [flexcoders] AIR/LCDS/EJB Authentication lost when a different RTMP worker thread is used
For NIO-based connections to the server, authentication is handled in a
container specific fashion (in your case using the TomcatLoginCommand) and the
resulting Principal returned by the container is stored in either the
FlexSession or FlexClient instance on the server corresponding to the remote
Flex client. This stored Principal is used for all authorization constraint
checks applied to LCDS destinations/etc., but because NIO endpoints don't use
container threads I suspect that JBoss' EJB container doesn't see this
Principal and can't use it for its own checks.
I'll log an enhancement request/bug for this issue.
As a workaround, you'd need to apply your security constraints at the LCDS
destination level rather than on the EJB methods directly.

Subject: [flexcoders] AIR/LCDS/EJB Authentication lost when a different RTMP

Hi!
I am setting up the security for Flex to work together with the EJB 3
Container security. The user should login within the AIR application
via a custom login screen and the authentication should be verified
against the configured JBoss login module. For all further ds
requests the authorization check should be done for every EJB method
by the EJB container. All EJB methods have a
@javax.annotation.security.RolesAllowed(...) anotation.
The EJBs are called within an assembler.
In principle the process works until the EJB is called by a new RTMP
worker thread. Within the new RTMP thread the principal is null and
the authorization fails.
I have setup the security as follows:
* The custom security and tomcat valve have been setup as described
in the lcds docu (copy jars, copy context.xml)
* The services-config.xml contains the following part:
...

[flexcoders] How to enable the enter key for all buttons onFocus
Good day all, How would one go about enabling the enter key for all buttons in your flex app? I know you an do the defaultKey for a form, or add keyDown to your button (but that reacts to all keys then - not good). As it stands now, the spacebar will react to every button onFocus.. .I was hoping to do that with the Enter key... d
[flexcoders] Using Datagrid Data
Hello everyone, Is it possible to send data from a poulated datagrid?? For example, I want to send row1 and make it a var.. is this possible? Thanks
RE: [flexcoders] Re: One custom component referring to another
Be careful here. There is a possible performance problem with a
application level central model. If you push all of your data through a
central model, then whenever you change ANY property in the model a
propertyChangeEvent is thrown from the model class. So every UI element
in your application which is bound to any property in the central model
will invalidate their display and re-render itself.. even if it's not
on screen.
I'm with mike on this, bubble the data you need up as needed, but, keep
things as local as possible. You might need to go to a global central
model for some data, every app has a little global data (logged in user,
etc). But in practice, most of the data I've ever referenced is usually
pretty specific to a component or two. So I let the child tell the
parent with an event and the parent can decide which other children need
to know. Children can't tell each other what to do. Or in other words,
let the parent component be the model for sub-components under it.
Hope that helps,

Jason,
In an ideal world, component A would throw events up. Those events
would be caught in the application (in this case) and call
corresponding methods in component B.
You really, really don't want to start coupling these components
together by calling the internals of one from the other in this way.
Especially when they really are peers in your application.

Makes perfect sense, I'll do that. Thanks! It's not best practice, but you absolutely can pass references to things outside an object's scope into the object. I did this with a component I wanted to reparent, i.e. I had a series of components duplicated in a Repeater, and when you clicked on one of them, it would grab the component I'd passed a reference to and add it to itself. I was doing this to make something that looked like an Accordion but could take a dataprovider and recycle the same object rather than having multiple copies. Essentially, you just put a property on the component with type UIComponent and push it in through the ClassFactory if it is an itemRenderer or you can set it directly if it is not. If you set up an interface that the component you are referring to has to adhere to, you can actually do this without requiring tight coupling. I didn't need to worry about that, because the only thing I did was addChild(). However, you may want to consider just having the components bound to the same data and have the data push the changes.

Subject: [flexcoders] How to Position a Popup relative to the

I have a grid with an array of buttons that when clicked, will
display
a popup window that collects user info.
What I'd like to do is position the popup relative (immediately
below)
the button that the user clicked within the grid - not necessarily
centered on the current window.
How can I get access the position/coordinates of the calling button
-
is this data somehow available via the createComplete event of the
popup. I imagine this data is buried somewhere in the
event/eventtarget object, but I'm not quite sure how to access it.
(Please don't tell me that I need to assign a listener to every
button
in the grid from within the Popup window as I'm creating the grid
dynamically and it varies in size).
Can anyone help with this,
TIA,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Repeater not repeating
And what would be the point of that? You can use an ArrayCollection as a substitute for Array in just about any situation and it will take care of the problem. If he could swap the original Array for a different class, just swap it for ArrayCollection and be done. That's what I would recommend anyway. If you extend Array to dispatch events on changes then you just wrote ArrayCollection again. It would support the methods on Array that aren't on ArrayCollection. This is assuming you can override the [] access using the flash_proxy methods, but I'm not sure if that works Array isn't a subclass of Proxy but it overrides their behavior. I'm not sure if you can do this or if its just magic (ie Flash internals)?

[flexcoders] Re: flex and automation
Am I missing something. Can't you just set the headless server option? From the Manual: A headless server is one that is running UNIX or Linux and often does not have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, or even a graphics card. Headless servers are most commonly encountered in ISPs and ISVs, where available space is at a premium and servers are often mounted in racks. Enabling the headless mode reduces the graphics requirements of the underlying system and can allow for a more efficient use of memory. If you deploy a Flex application on a headless server, you must set the headless-server option of the compiler to true. Setting this option to true is required to support fonts and SVG images in a nongraphical environment. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Florian Sprenger [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: DJ, Peter Martin has description how to run gflashplayer in a framebuffer here: http://weblogs.macromedia.com/pmartin/archives/2007/01/ continous_integ.html HTH florian Am 27.06.2008 um 20:20 schrieb netdeep: Seth, thanks for the reply.

RE: [flexcoders] swfLoader not working when in an mxml component?
One possibilty is the layout rules when not in the app care about the SWFLoader's measurements. If they do, the SWFLoader will measure to 0,0 and so will not have any size to it.

RE: [flexcoders] AS3 interface question
As far as I know, Adobe plans to follow the emerging Ecmascript 4
standard. We're unlikely to support covariant return types in
ActionScript unless ES4 has them.

Yep, it's a language feature, which is not there. I think it is called
covariant return types.
Afaik, all you can do is check the type and cast.

I'm running into a wall when trying to use extension with interfaces.
The example I'm about to provide works using Java, so I believe the
OOP practices behind it are valid. But I can't figure out how to
accomplish the same thing in Flex, I keep running into compiler
issues. The example is a condensed version of something I'm working
on, for simplicity sake.
Let's say you have a bunch of events that all have some common
functionality, like the ability to have a nextEvent. Also, a subset
of those events also have additional functionality, they can be
filtered by a type of criteria. We'll call them search events.
Now, there are some parts of the application that can work with any
type of search event, and any type of criteria. But when the
individual searches are executed, that implementation expects a
specific type of search event and search criteria. That's my end goal
here.
Here are the interfaces I'm using:
public interface ICriteria
{
// just a marker
}
public interface ICustomCriteria extends ICriteria
{
function get name():String;
function set name(name:String):void;
}
public interface IEvent
{
function get nextEvent():IEvent;
function set nextEvent(event:IEvent):void;
}
public interface ISearchEvent
{
function get criteria():ICriteria;
function set criteria(criteria:ICriteria):void;
}
So far, so good. And now the implementing classes:
// would like to make this an abstract class, but not supported in AS
public class BaseEvent implements IEvent
{
private var _nextEvent:IEvent;
public function set nextEvent(event:IEvent):void
{
this._nextEvent = event;
}
public function get nextEvent():IEvent
{
return this._nextEvent;
}
}
// would like to make this an abstract class, but not supported in AS
public class BaseSearchEvent extends BaseEvent implements ISearchEvent
{
private var _criteria:ICriteria;
public function set criteria(criteria:ICriteria):void
{
this._criteria = criteria;
}
public function get criteria():ICriteria
{
return this._criteria;
}
}
Those base classes are fine and compile correctly. Now if you
remember from the requirements, there are some places that can work
with any type of ISearchEvent, and some places that can only work with
an individual subclass. Here is where the compiler errors come in.
Doing what I am about to do works in Java, and I'm wondering if there
is a way to accomplish it in AS3.
public class CustomSearchEvent extends BaseSearchEvent
{
private var _criteria:ICustomCriteria;
public override function get criteria():ICustomCriteria
{
return this._criteria;
}
public override function set criteria(criteria:ICustomCriteria):void
{
this._criteria = criteria;
}
}
The above class does not compile because the method signatures for
get/set criteria are different than those specified in the interface.
But from an OO perspective, I think this is a valid thing to want to
do. If you're working with an ISearchEvent instance, you should be
able to subclass the base class and provide custom behavior. The
ICustomCriteria is a subclass of ICriteria, so you should be able to
substitute them in this context. Is there another way to accomplish
this? Or is this just a language feature that's not there?

Re: [flexcoders] flex and automation
It might work with a command-line browser (curl, wget)? There are no flex user groups in my area and I've been trying for a long time to find a solution to this problem with no success. I need to generate a series of charts every few minutes/hours/days on an automated basis. I pull the data for the charts from the database and draw the chart, then save it as an image and potentially notify someone where they can find the image as a png or a pdf. I am using java on the backend to communicate with the database and flex to draw the charts. The same app which draws the chart can also be called by a user to get a live snapshot. But the automation just isn't working. It works fine on my local development machine, but this application is deployed on a headless server and the flex process never gets to launch since it needs to run on a browser. I've looked at solutions for getting it to run headless but so far I can't get it to work. Does anyone know how to automate flex in this way? I know flex is meant to be interactive, but is there anyway I can still use the flex charting for automated output? --- Pascal Robert http://www.macti.ca http://www.linkedin.com/in/macti Skype: MacTICanada AIM/iChat : MacTICanada -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.comYahoo!

The problem is that as soon as the ADG loads, I get a ton of Can't
directly set UID errors. I thought Flex was _not supposed_ to set
UID's on classes that implement IUID? Note that this is not a visual
clas, these are typed objects in an ArrayCollection of typed objects
that have ArrayCollections in them named children
(HierarchicalCollection).
If Flex is adding a UID to my objects, is there any way I can tease it
out to use it to determine the parent?

RE: [flexcoders] Acrobat 9 and Flex
No, there are as I understand it two modes of integration (i) using a flex / flash widget which can communicate with the basic Acrobat Javascript API via External Interface (ii)using the new ACROBAT api which provides a series of interfaces specifically for building PDF Portfolios neither of them directly address your issues BUT it is possible to use EXternal Interface to generate PDFs on the fly which would allow for some imporovements to your point2 matt _ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anatole Tartakovsky Sent: 27 June 2008 16:57 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Acrobat 9 and Flex I am considering the new Acrobat 9 embedding capabilities for Flex applications.

[flexcoders] Create border for inner subgrids within a grid - How?
Another noob question - I've created a dynamic (n*n) grid and need to
provide some visual delineation of the inner grids - e.g. a 4*4 grid
contains 4 inner 2*2 subgrids.
How can I create a border around each of these subgrids? (This will
also need to be done dynamically).
TIA,
Patrick
FWIW - The grid is built with the following function
private function buildGrid (nrows:uint,ncols:uint):void {
for (var i:Number = 0; inrows; i++) {
var myGridRow:GridRow = new GridRow();
// for each col add child controls
for (var j:Number = 0; jncols; j++) {
var myGridItem:GridItem = new GridItem();
myGridItem.addChild (myBtn);
//Add cell to row
myGridRow.addChild (myGridItem);
}// end col loop
// Add row to grid
myGrid.addChild(myGridRow);
}
// Add grid to parent container (canvas/form/panel
etc??)
mypanel.addChild(myGrid);
}
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Setting unique ID with repeater and custom component
Repeater is much more flexible than many people think. It is often
thought of as a way to make a list, but is really more a dataProvider
driven wrapper for addChild and removeChild, with a few other cool
things built in.
I can imagine several use cases for needing to reference a repeated
item. I have done it myself, though if I were to reproduce today the
particular functionality I am thinking of, I would use events instead.

component
I don't know about most people but I never need to know the id of a
repeated item.
All of the items I have in a repeater are instances of a specific
object. This object has class members and functions and can do
everything it needs to do on its own. If I need it to (Which is
infrequent) each object can get to its parent or even the Application
object itself.
So, I ask, Why would you need to refer to a repeated component?

Thanks for any and all replies.
If you have something like this:
mx:Repeater id=theRepeater dataProvider={yourAC}
yourNS:YourComponent id=foo/
/mx:Repeater
then you can refer to any repeated component by its index within foo.
i.e. foo[0] is the first component. This is pretty thoroughly
documented in the help for Repeater.

Hi, all;
I have been using AdvancedDataGrid to display information in a
HierarchicalCollection. The parent (container) items contain
information on how the child items should be viewed. So the same
child
might be in the tree three different types under different parents.
I
left the view information in the container, since it has nothing to
do
with the actual data contained in the child object.
The problem I am having is that I don't seem to be able to find a way
to get at that data from the parent data when a user clicks on a
child.
OK, I got the bright idea that I would composite the existing class
with a new class that has a uid. The class looks like this:
package com.magnoliamultimedia.vo
{
import mx.core.IUID;
import mx.utils.UIDUtil;
public class TaskUID implements IUID
{
private var _task:Task;
private var _uid:String;
public function TaskUID(task:Task)
{
_task=task;
_uid:UIDUtil.createUID();
}
public function get uid():String
{
return _uid;
}
public function set uid(value:String):void
{
throw new Error(Can't directly set UID);
}
public function get task():Task{
return _task;
}
}
}
The problem is that as soon as the ADG loads, I get a ton of Can't

UID's on classes that implement IUID? Note that this is not a visual

I did glean a trick for read-only binding for static data by using:
public static const constString:String=A static const.;
However, I still need to clear up one thing. Is it true that you can
place [Bindable] meta data on either a setter of getter and have it
bound to a View component?

1) Make the Setter Bindable, or
2) Make the Getter Bindable and dispatch an event on the Setter?
