RE: [flexcoders] Your Opinion: Best way to Load Data to your components?

2008-07-07 Thread Tim Rowe

Absolutely.  Things like lookup values or enumerations which you might
have in a database, are going to be needed, but never updated, you can
bring down in one go and cache the result never needing to query it
again, rather than getting bits incrementally.  And then are we talking
using remoting, or data services, both of which handle updates very
differently (and then there's other solutions).

 

But for any other data you have to factor in how it's going to be
updated, how often the data will be interacted with by the user, how
much data you require (total and in each increment), and perhaps even
the load and usage of the server.  Pulling down 100KB of data might be
fine when you've only got a handful of people accessing a system, but
what about on a system getting 5,000 requests per minute?

 

There really is no single answer to this "how long is a piece of
string?" question.

It really depends on your application. I've some applications that poll
important lists, but if those lists get long, we'll need to put some
more thought into the way it works.

If it's a short list that's likely to change a lot, poll the whole
thing. If it's a long list, and there's unlikely to be many changes,
you'll need something more complicated like polling a "last updated"
time, or "fetch me the changes since X" sort of method, or even an XML
socket so your server can push change events through to the Flex app.
And that's just a few of no doubt many different ways to approach the
issue.

[flexcoders] Retrieve the unique identifier (@foo) the way the debugger does?

2008-07-07 Thread Josh McDonald

Say I'm inspecting something in the debugger, I get this:

main.model.dao.NodeTOR (@1b1a9a51)

Is there a way for the flex app to retrieve this number (which I assume is a
timestamp or an encoded pointer or something) in order to use it as a unique
identifier?

No worries mate. Assuming you're talking about an XMLList, this should do

for each (var node:* in myXMLList.image) {

[flexcoders] AdvancedDataGrid rowCount

Hi, all;

I open all the nodes on my ADG when it is created.  I'd like to make 
sure there are enough rows to show all the items without scroll bars.  
If I bind rowCount to myADG.dataProvider.length, it gives me enough 
rows to show the _closed_ nodes.  I also tried 
myADG.dataProvideropenNodes().length, but that wasn't anywhere close.  
Is there a simple way to do this, or do I have to write a function that 
goes through and counts?

TIA;

Thanks for your help, but I think doing my own scaling is easier:

  image.height  = Math.round((image.width / origWidth) * origHeight);
}

[flexcoders] Cancelling a list change event using an Alert popup

2008-07-07 Thread djohnson29

I have a list of items and a corresponding form to edit values based
on what the user has selected.

If the user selects another by clicking the grid, I want to provide an
Alert popup if they have not saved their changes.  If the user clicks
OK, then the selection takes place as normal, but if they click
cancel, I want to cancel the change event and have the editor stay on
the selected item.

I can get the event to cancel by declaring an event handler for
MouseDown in the creationComplete event, and then having the following
lines in the MouseDown handler:

event.stopImmediatePropagation();
event.stopPropagation();
event.preventDefault();

The problem is that I can only successfully cancel the event
propogation from within this method.

If I want to have an alert box with an OK and Cancel button, how do I
achieve this?

I have tried calling an Alert handler and using a class event variable
to store the event that is received by the MouseDown handler, but
if I try to cancel the event from within the Alert handler, nothing
happens - I think it is too late at that point.

Can someone provide me with an example of how to cancel event
propogation on a grid click or other similar event based on the user's
selection from an Alert prompt?

Thanks!

[flexcoders] ant build chart

2008-07-07 Thread coder3



Now I use ant to build my flex application on unix machine. i copied the
flex sdk from my window to unix and the ant build is working except one
case. if the flex contains chart, the build will fail. 

i guest it's because the flex sdk doesn't have the chart jar? where can i
get it for the unix/linux machine? 

thanks

Re: [flexcoders] width doesn't affect scaleX ?

2008-07-07 Thread Josh McDonald

The width and height is part of the Flex Image component, whereas the scalex
is part of Flash's internal stuff for everything. You could subclass Image
and add other child components because it extends UIComponent, and then when
you set width and height the Image component would scale the image, but your
other children would not (automatically at least). But if you achieve the
size change using scaleX, the entire thing would scale.

Hope that clears it up :)

[flexcoders] width doesn't affect scaleX ?

2008-07-07 Thread Radley



If change the width of a flex Image component, the scaleX remains 1:

(image starting size: 1920x1200)


CODE:

if (image.width > Application.application.width)
{
   trace("\rimage.scaleX = " + image.scaleX);
   trace("image.width = " + image.width);

   image.width = Application.application.width;

   trace("\rimage.scaleX = " + image.scaleX);
   trace("image.width = " + image.width);

   image.scaleY  = image.scaleX;
}

trace("\rimage.scaleX = " + image.scaleX);
trace("image.scaleY = " + image.scaleY);
trace("image: (" + image.width+ ", " +image.height+ ")");


RESULT:

image.scaleX = 1
image.width = 1920

image.scaleX = 1
image.width = 1025

image.scaleX = 1
image.scaleY = 1
image: (1025, 1200)


Is the Image component missing scaleX & scaleY properties? Or is there  
some special event that has to happen for scale to recognize a change  
in width/height???


thnx

Using compiler switches to manage trust can become cumbersome... I'd

But the problem is that I'm not adding an item to the ArrayCollection.

I'm adding an item (option) to an Array within an item in the
ArrayCollection.

The ArrayCollection contains Products. Within each Product is an
optionArray. So when I'm adding to the optionArray, the Collection is
not aware of a change. And I can't make the optionArray an AC on its
own, because of VO mapping issues with server objects.

That's why I was suggesting a refresh(), or perhaps an updateItem(). Am
I missing something?

[flexcoders] Re: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

2008-07-07 Thread Ryan Moore

This isn't a Flex-specific issue. It sounds like you clicked "block
unsafe content." IE asks if you want to do this when you load Flash (or
many other things) from a url on your local filesystem.
(C:\...whatever), and then I guess it remembers that preference.

 

I don't know exactly where to turn that off, but googling "block unsafe
content" and your version of IE should find the answer.

[flexcoders] ViewStack init images problem

2008-07-07 Thread doubleyoucue

Hello,
I'm having a problem with initializing my ViewStack that contains 2
image files on application startup; I'll try my best to explain:
I'm using a ViewStack to hold 2 boxes that each contain a large image
that I'm using for a background. I switch between these images using 2
blur transitions, ideally:
bgImage1->blurOut, blurIn->bgImage2

However, this doesn't work properly the very first time the
application switches between images:
bgImage1->blurOut, [bgImage2-full], blurIn->bgImage2

Though after the first time it works as intended.
I'm trying to get rid of the 'background image #2' flash I'm getting
in between by blur transition.
I've set the ViewStacks creationPolicy to "all", but that has had no
effect.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] Item renderers cause processor to max out

2008-07-07 Thread Alex Harui

We don't know how your renderer is set up, but here are some things to
consider:

 

-a variableRowHeight renderer needs to measure() correctly right after
the data property is set.  Depending on what component is doing
word-wrapping, the measurements may be fluctuating causing the DG to
re-render and recycle renderers and re-set their data properties and do
more measurements until the measurements converge.  Make sure the
word-wrapping component's width is tied to the column's width.  This is
a common error you'll see from my responses to past threads.

-you can see if there are multiple rendering passes by setting a
breakpoint on makeRowsAndColumns.  It should get hit once or twice when
the dataProvider changes, but not more than that.

-I'd juse array.join() to make your displayable string.

Subject: [flexcoders] Item renderers cause processor to max out

 

Hi, 

I began asking about this problem last week and Alex Harui tried to help
me. But I did such a bad job of explaining my problem, I don't think he
quite understood the issue.

Also, I've done a lot more work over the weekend, stepping through the
debugger. And my problem is a bit different than I first thought,
anyway.

My application allows users to create multiple sets of product
configurations. Within each configuration, there are multiple products,
each with a possibility of multiple options.

Thus, within a Configuration object, there is an itemAC that is a
collection of product objects. Within each Item/Product object, there is
an optionArray which holds Option objects. The optionArray cannot be an
arrayCollection, because the Product objects are VOs populated from a
RemoteObject, and need to match the signature of a matching object on
the server.

When the user wishes to view the contents of a Configuration, the itemAC
(with its collection of Products) becomes the dataProvider of a
DataGrid:

   








However - one cell within the DataGrid needs to display a list of
options. The user should see these options as a comma-delimited list,
essentially, not a Flex List element or anything like that. So I have
created an itemRenderer for the Options column which has a simple
function that creates the list from the optionArray in the Product which
is represented by a row in the DataGrid:

   public function setOptionList(options:Array):void{
optionList = "";
for (var i:int = 0;i 1 && i != 0){
optionList = optionList + ', ';
}
optionList += options[i].optionItem;
}
}

Since a user may be adding options to a product at any time, the option
list must update as an option is added.
I have tried providing the update in various ways. Currently, I am
overriding the set data function for the itemRenderer component:

override public function set data(value:Object):void{
if (value != null){
super.data = value;
setOptionList(value.options)
}
dispatchEvent(new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE));
}

The symptom of my problem is that once a few products are added, the
processor pegs and stays there.

My debugging walkthrough has led to find that as products are added
(with or without options), extra instances of the itemRenderer component
seem to be generated, and the setOptionList function (triggered by set
data) is called over and over.

On the first product added, (with an empty option array), two separate
instances of the itemRenderer component seem to be created. The
setOptionList function is called three times, showing two unique
identifiers for views.OptionList components. The function is called on
the first instance (a), then the second (b), then the first again:
a,b,a.

When I add a second product (also with an empty option array, the
setOptionList function is called 14 times. I can see another instance of
views.OptionList (c). The setOptionList calls go:
b,b,a,a,b,c,b,c,a,a,b,c,a,a.

Adding a third product results in 22 calls to the function, on 4
instances. The calls go: b,c,b,b,a,a,a,b,c,d,b,c,d,a,a,a,b,c,d,a,a,a.

Can anyone help me understand what's up with all this proliferation?

You normally override commitProperties() when you want to be able to set
properties in any order and do something later after you know all their
values. To ensure that commitProperties() gets called, call
invalidateProperties() in the property setters.

 I have a custom component made by myself. I have to asign the

Flex doesn't load the attributes when it calls the the constructor and
therefore I cant constructor the component. I hope you understand.

   mailtoEmailAddy = '' 
+ emailAddy + '';

   return mailtoEmailAddy;
   }

   And here is the renderer code:

   
   
   htmlText="{convertEmailToMailto(data.emailAddress)}"/>

   


   The first problem I have is that I am getting "call to possibly 
undefined method convertEmailToMailto" error and am not sure what the 
problem is. 

   The next is that I am confused about the bubbling.I am assuming 
I will need to add a 'click=""' in the  line and I see in the 
properties for TextEvent to do a TextEvent:LINK but I am not having a 
lot of luck seeing how to implement this.


   Help?

Thanks,
Adrian

to laouch the browser.


 


There will be examples of all of this if you look a bit.

2008-07-07 Thread Enjoy Jake

These probably are just warnings. When you export a release version it likes to 
show you any warnings, even if there aren't any errors. Check the filesystem to 
see if your release version SWF really is getting created. If it is, then you 
have nothing to worry about. However, you should get rid of all those warnings. 
It'll make the code easier to read and you'll be less likely to make mistakes.

[flexcoders] "Hiding" items in Tree

2008-07-07 Thread twcrone70

I have a tree that renders a two level hierarchy (e.g. State/City). 
Each state has a collection of cities.  State and city have a boolean
flag 'visible'.  Without modifying the collection directly, can I
somehow make is so that states/cities with 'visible=false' do not show
in the tree at all?  When I set the label/icon or whole thing's
visible attribute to false, I end up with a 'blank' node/leaf.

Thanks,

But the problem is that I'm not adding an item to the ArrayCollection.

I'm adding an item (option) to an Array *within* an item in the
ArrayCollection.

The ArrayCollection contains Products. Within each Product is an
optionArray. So when I'm adding to the optionArray, the Collection is not
aware of a change. And I can't make the optionArray an AC on its own,
because of VO mapping issues with server objects.

That's why I was suggesting a refresh(), or perhaps an updateItem(). Am I
missing something?

I make it work overrading this function, but I don' t know why this is the
convenient way.


updateDisplayList

*override* *protected* *function* updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):*void*{

*if*(*this*._autoPlay && *this*.source!=*null*){

*this*.play();

}

}
If autoplay is true and source has the info, then play the music.

To both Tracy and Amy,

Thanks a lot for your advice. 

Tracy, I'm pretty new to Flex, so I need to ask you for a little
clarification:

If you *use the dataProvider API* to update the item, it will cause the
labelFunction to run and re-display the new values.




When you say "use the dataProvider API," I assume you mean to use the
API of the arrayCollection which is the dataProvider of the DataGrid,
yes?

So after I push the new object into the "options" array, which is within
an "item" object, which is within the itemAC ArrayCollection in the
Configuration object, I refresh the itemAC. That would allow the
collection to re-read the contained "item" objects and their contents,
including the "options" array(s). The labelFunction would also run,
displaying the values.

Is that correct? I'm working on that now, but I'd appreciate your
confirmation (or correction).

Amy -- I guess I'd have to go through much of the same steps in a
Repeater as I'm doing now, but I take your point. "Automagic" actions
are always a little mysterious.

[flexcoders] Re: Trick button into rendering mouseover/mouseout states

2008-07-07 Thread Tim Hoff


Maybe I misunderstood.  You were probably saying, set the skin's alpha
to 0; not the button's alpha.  He just wants the button's icons and
label to show (with rollover changes); no background or border.  Because
the button control is a bit more complicated to programatically skin
than other controls, I was just recommending to use a transparent image
for the skins.  That's the easiest way that I've found.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Item renderers cause processor to max out

2008-07-07 Thread Tom McNeer

To both Tracy and Amy,

Thanks a lot for your advice.

Tracy, I'm pretty new to Flex, so I need to ask you for a little
clarification:

On Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 1:22 PM, Tracy Spratt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

When you say "use the dataProvider API," I assume you mean to use the API of
the arrayCollection which is the dataProvider of the DataGrid, yes?

So after I push the new object into the "options" array, which is within an
"item" object, which is within the itemAC ArrayCollection in the
Configuration object, I refresh the itemAC. That would allow the collection
to re-read the contained "item" objects and their contents, including the
"options" array(s). The labelFunction would also run, displaying the values.

Is that correct? I'm working on that now, but I'd appreciate your
confirmation (or correction).

Amy -- I guess I'd have to go through much of the same steps in a Repeater
as I'm doing now, but I take your point. "Automagic" actions are always a
little mysterious.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Builder Debug Issue --- RESOLVED

2008-07-07 Thread jonese

OK the problem was in my browser. I found a closed bug on adobe's bug
tracker talking about how some plugins like greasemonky and FF3 can
cause issues becuase of a bug in FF3. (should be fixed in 3.01).

I didn't have greasemonkey installed so i shut off all my plugins and
tried it again. It worked without issue. So i slowly began turning the
plugins back on and found the culprit for me was the google toolbar.
Great FF3 is fixed.

Did the same thing in IE and the culprit there was the google gears
plugin NOT the google toolbar (interesting)..

I commented on the "resolved" ticket but who knows if anyone will
actually see that.

Here's the adobe ticket if your interested:

[flexcoders] Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

2008-07-07 Thread chuck.searisen

Hi,

When viewing a webpage in IE, I got a pop-up from IE saying something
about Intranet settings, I clicked Yes.  Ever since then I've been
unable to run Flex applications from Flex Builder.

I'm using IE7 and Vista, normally no problems, but I've searched the
internet for any fix and cannot find one that relates to Flex.

I have a stable connection and can display the page with no problems
using Firefox.  But, since Flex Builder defaults to IE (at least I
haven't found a way to change that) I need to get that working, or
clicking run/debug from Flex is permanently broken.

I'm not sure but what's the difference between a link button and what 
you're trying to accomplish?  It seems to me what you're looking for 
would be easily accomplished with a little CSS & the LinkButton

Yeah this kind of debate has been going on for some time (speed). So  
it depends which article you read (I read that weborb had moved much  
closer, but had not yet surpassed it). So I really have no idea which  
is correct. Wade (the gentleman who took it over) had been off the  
radar for some time (I believe he is involved with the "Essential  
Guide to Open Source Flash" book which is where he has been busy), but  
I noticed he posted on his blog about amfphp recently. 
(http://www.wadearnold.com/blog/ 
).

Again, all preference.

[flexcoders] Re: Problem Adding Custom Event Listeners in a component?

2008-07-07 Thread pbrendanc

Thx - I think I get it now - the  default dispatcher works only for 
parents /child relationships of graphics objects only. If objects are
external (e.g. siblings, non visual  etc.) a custom dispatcher than
maintains a list of related components via some registration mechanism
is required. I assume the best place to perform such registration  would
be in the  constructor of my custom class. (I assume this is how
Cairngorm and other frameworks are managing inter  object/component
communication).

Thx for setting me straight here. FWIW this is part of a game board demo
I'm putting together and it could be the basis for a useful
demo/tutorial on to share with others - any suggestions on where to post
this type of example (I don't currently maintain a web site or blog).?

Return invalid xml.

 

But, why would you want that?  Save the fault handler for exceptions you

I wrap all of my data in a consistently formatted status node, that
contains any exception data I need on the client.  The result handlers
look at the status attribute and respond accordingly.  I return this
status node for all calls, and it is especially useful for calls that
update the back-end,but do not need to return any special data.

I know this isn't going to be popular advice, but my experience is 
that the List Base controls do a lot of stuff under the covers that 
is only documented in about 4 peoples' heads.  Unless you're dealing 
with huge data sets, you may find that switching to a repeater saves 
you a lot of headaches.  I have a rule that if I ask on here for 3 
days with no solution, I switch to a repeater, since I am typically 
not working with large data sets.

I think that some of the extra calls you're getting to your function 
are the "invisible" controls that get built for scrolling purposes.

values into the flex app using flashvars.  So a single, compiled
application can service many instances.

 

I also believe however, that a db connection string should not be
compiled into the client app, especially if it includes
username/password.

Check out "Localizing Flex Applications" in the documentation, it should
tell you all you need to know.
Although, the resource files do get compiled into the application (as I
understand it, anyone who knows otherwise please do correct me), 
so maybe it's not quite what you need in this instance. 
I'm not entirely sure that a database connection string is best placed
in the client either, for that matter!

Subject: [flexcoders] I am looking for flex property file?

Hey techies,
Actually, I need to set some global urls which are subject to change.
So, I
can't hard code them in the application. I want to get these urls from
some
property file just like the standard procedure in other frameworks like
.net. But I can't find any property file for flex yet. Let me tell you
the
exact problem,
I have some database connection string, and obviously I can't put it in
the
code as it is subject to change. So, how can I manage my database
connection
string. I am using flex as front end and my backend is ruby on rails. My
DAL
(Data access layer is tatally xml based). Can anybody tell me how to
incarporate this connection string in a global project property file and
then retrieve that string from action script?

Thanks in advance.

Loop over the item in your data, and in the loop, create a new value
object, assign the property values from your current data item, and push
the value object onto an Array.  After the loop, wrap the Array in an
ArrayCollection.

2008-07-07 Thread Tracy Spratt

Also, you must use the dataProvider API to update the item, in order for
the collection to dispatch the events necessary to update the UI.  There
is also an itemUpdated() method, and several other techniques for
causing the UI to refresh.

Implement the wizard using a ViewStack.  The control states will not

Hey all.

Having a silly problem with 3 comboboxes and can't seem to find
anything very helpful via google.

I'm creating a user registration wizard with multiple pages that
contains a custom component. The custom component is a date selection
component consisting of 3 combo boxes (month, day, year). They are
all populated with simple arrays as the dataProvider.

Every thing works perfectly except. . .If you select your date (DOB in
this case) and go back to a previous page in the wizard when you
return to the page with the DOB control, the comboboxes are showing
the prompt again. The selectedIndex/Item !IS! correct, it's just not
displaying the that correct value. They're not being reinstantiated,
etc.

I've tried firing off CHANGE and RENDER events on the comboboxes but
nothing (programatically) will force them to show the value they have
for selectedIndex that I've been able to find.

Anybody have any pointers on this one? Seems silly to me that the
default behavior wouldn't be to always show the current selectedIndex
*shrug*.

Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] Creating a hyperlink mailto in advanced data grid

2008-07-07 Thread Tracy Spratt

There are several ways to do this.  One way is to create an itemRenderer
using htmlText. htmlText can include an  tag.  You can have
the click dispatch a bubbling TextEvent, and in the handler, access the
dataProvider item via the event.currentTarget property, and use the url
to build your mailto url, and navigateToURL to laouch the browser.

 

There will be examples of all of this if you look a bit.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Item renderers cause processor to max out

2008-07-07 Thread Tracy Spratt

If you are just displaying a comma delimited list in a non-editable
cell, then labelFunction is the way to go.

If you *use the dataProvider API* to update the item, it will cause the
labelFunction to run and re-display the new values.

Also, if you find the loop and stay with the itemRenderer, use the set
data() method to store your data in a variable and call
invalidatePropdrties(), then do the work in commitProperties().  Set
data() gets called often, but commitProperties is optimized.

Re: [flexcoders] SWFObject example

2008-07-07 Thread Richard Rodseth

Hi Tom

None that I've found, that include a header and footer area outside of
the 100% SWF. I guess this is somewhat off-topic, and I've joined the
SWFObject mailing list, where I got the following advice:

>>>
- when your top header and footer do need to be in HTML, you should
use JavaScript (fixed positioning doesn't work in IE 6 and lower, I
believe) to determine your available Flash viewport height, and scale
the div that a 100%-100% embedded Flash movie is in accordingly, using
the same principles as: http://hossgifford.com/resizer/
<<<

But I thought this must be a pretty common scenario for Flex
developers who would understand why I want to get the hell back to my
happy Flex world and away from browser incompatibility hell :)

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Problem Adding Custom Event Listeners in a component?

2008-07-07 Thread Alex Harui

In general, you have to be listening to the object that is dispatching.
If you use bubble or capture, you can listen to parents if they are
display objects.

3 siblings would need to know about each other and listen to each other.
Having them register with a central object that dispatches on their
behalf or they dispatch from might be better.  That's how
RadioButton/RadioButtonGroup work.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Problem Adding Custom Event Listeners in a

I think I need some additional clarification here as I'm not sure why
this is not OK- (I expect the button to respond to the custom event
regardless of who dispatched this event).

Imagine 3 buttons in a grid: B1, B2,B3. Clicking on any button and
updates the appearance (e.g. label color) of the other 2 buttons (i.e.
everyone else but the clicked button). Do this w/out any hard coding 
the names in click events etc. - each button gets a list of dependent
btn ID's - if you are on the list update yourself, otherwise ignore.

What I need to do here is to have the containing (parent??) form
intercept (override?) the button click event, perform some preprocessing
(e.g. build a list) and forward this list by dispatching a custom event
. (In the example below you can see that clicking a button affects
other buttons.

Where I'm stuck is on how best to setup the listeners ,and intercept
the parent button click event. Per my previous message the custom
handler on the button is never triggered.

(Maybe I'm missing the wood for the tree's here - however it's a good
exercise that will solidify my understanding of the Flex event model)

[flexcoders] Question: need flex to read text files on another server and display in textArea

2008-07-07 Thread Body Works Studio

Hello All,

I need to make a pop up that will display the contents of a text file.
I want to use a text Area as the file is read only. What is the best
way to get Flex to access and read the file on the other server. The
file contents are currently ascii text files.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your time

Jeff

It is only in the display field.  It is not the renderer for the
dropdown.

Use AIR?  Flash can't get to the local file system other than to upload

RE: [flexcoders] ComboBox Problems

2008-07-07 Thread Alex Harui

How are you verifying that selectedIndex is correct?  I assume the
dropdowns still contain the correct arrays?

Subject: [flexcoders] ComboBox Problems

 

Hey all.

Having a silly problem with 3 comboboxes and can't seem to find
anything very helpful via google.

I'm creating a user registration wizard with multiple pages that
contains a custom component. The custom component is a date selection
component consisting of 3 combo boxes (month, day, year). They are
all populated with simple arrays as the dataProvider.

Every thing works perfectly except. . .If you select your date (DOB in
this case) and go back to a previous page in the wizard when you
return to the page with the DOB control, the comboboxes are showing
the prompt again. The selectedIndex/Item !IS! correct, it's just not
displaying the that correct value. They're not being reinstantiated,
etc.

I've tried firing off CHANGE and RENDER events on the comboboxes but
nothing (programatically) will force them to show the value they have
for selectedIndex that I've been able to find.

Anybody have any pointers on this one? Seems silly to me that the
default behavior wouldn't be to always show the current selectedIndex
*shrug*.

Thanks!

Gerald

Ok, that makes sense.  One other thing that might be contributing is:

updateComplete="setGridHeight(event)"

You might want to try:

valueCommit="setGridHeight(event)"

instead.  Good luck Tom,

If the same machine, you could use a shared folder, or a simple socket server.

Re: [flexcoders] Binding for Dynamic Datagrid

Hi,

I've created a custom Dynamic Datagrid component. I would like to
ask, how can I bind data to this DG?

My codes:

// Data to the datagrid. This data is dynamically changing.
[Bindable]
public var myData:ArrayCollection();

public var myDG:MyDG;

// Called when creationComplete
private function init()
{
myDG = new MyDG();
myDG.createDataGrid(); // Create the datagrid
myDG.dataProvider = myData; //Would this bind the data?
this.addChild(myDG);
}

I've noticed that when myData changed, myDG is not updated. In fact,
the set data() function of the ItemRenderer used in myDG is not
being called when I call myData.refresh().

Is it the problem that I am not binding myDG correctly?

Thank you.

[flexcoders] BlazeDS connect and disconnect issues

2008-07-07 Thread bbloggs96

I am using messaging within Blaze, and my application needs a fallback
solution if the Blaze server is disabled for any reason. My fallback
is to do application polling via HTTPService to get the required data.
I have got that side working.

When I do my testing to simulate the Blaze server being disabled, I
stop the web server, and my application successfully falls back to get
the data on a polling mechanism with a 15 seconds interval from a
database via HTTPService. It works. Just after I do a polling loop I
initiate a subscribe to the consumer service. I have an event listener
on the consumer ChannelEvent.CONNECT that when fired will stop the
application polling.

Trouble is that even though the subscribe is called the connection is
never established.

1. Should I be able to re-connect after the server hosting Blaze stops
and then starts again.

2. What is the best way to simulate a disabling of the Blaze server
for testing puposes.

You're absolutely correct, of course. Unfortunately, my error was NOT
dispatching that event, but rather including that line in the code I sent in
my post.

In the actual code, that line is commented out (it came from an earlier
attempt). Yet I still seem to be generating a loop somewhere.

Thanks for catching it though. It made the post even more confusing.
