Re: [flexcoders] Re: Filter an ArrayCollection into an ItemRender

I'm not sure I understand your question. You can certainly refer to data.Url
inside the item renderer. If you mean using a filterFunction with data.Url,
you would have to apply it inside you're item renderer and most likely make
a copy of your original ArrayCollection in each itemRenderer to apply the
filterFunction to so that each renderer is filtered without affecting the
others.

Re: [flexcoders] accessing styles of children

Alex's email clearly said IStyleClient with a capital I in front. You'll
also need to import it at the top of your file if FlexBuilder doesn't do it
for you: import mx.styles.IStyleClient.

Since getChildAt returns a generic DisplayObject, you have to cast it to a
more specific type to be able to call setStyle. If none of this makes
sense to you, you probably need to do some reading up on the object-oriented
programming concept called polymorphism.

Re: [flexcoders] ArrayCollection filterFunction only gets called on root item

The filterFunction only applies to the ArrayCollection. By hierarchy, I
assume you mean you have an ArrayCollection that contains ArrayCollections.
In other words, objects in your original ArrayCollection have, say, a
children ArrayCollection. In order to do what you're describing, you would
have to set the filterFunction on each of these child's filterFunction and
each of there's, etc.

In the past, I have done something like this to achieve what you're talking
about:

public function filterMenuItems(filter:IMenuFilter):void {
if (children) {
// need to clear all filters first, otherwise hidden higher
levels won't come back
children.filterFunction = null;
children.refresh();
for (var i:int=0; i  children.length; i++) {
if (children.getItemAt(i) is Menu) {
Menu(children.getItemAt(i)).filterMenuItems(filter);
}
}
children.filterFunction = filter.menuItemFilter;
children.refresh();
}
}

Here, a Menu is filtered by calling it's filterMenuItems method with a
filter object, traversing down through other Menu's children (via the
recursive call) setting the filterFunction.

   Hi All,

 I have a tree control who's data provider is an ArrayCollection
 holding a single File object I defined. The File object represents the
 root of a remote file system hierarchy that has children getter that
 supports the tree control and each child is rendered in the tree with
 an ItemRenderer.

 The tree control displays the File hierarchy well and it traverses the
 data providers children as expected. However, filter does not. I
 wanted to apply a filter to the data provider so only directory items
 are displayed. I specified the filterFunction and refresh the
 dataProvider but it only gets called on the first root node and not
 the data model hierarchy and each item that gets rendered in the tree.

 Should I have implemented a special interface so the tree or data
 provider can properly filter the object hierarchy?

 What am I doing wrong?

 Any help much appreciated.

[flexcoders] ItemRenderer

2008-07-22 Thread jap_hughes

Hi,

Having a problem with using an itemRenderer in datagrid column, the 
custom column appears correctly but whenever I dynamically change the 
dataProvider I get a repeat of the custom column and as I'm 
potentially using a dataProvider with a different schema to the 
initially loaded schema I then get a mixture of the old schema and 
current schema fields. It all appears to work correctly though if I 
don't create the custom column.

See code below for creating custom column which is created when I get 
the data result(onResult) and also the code for the itemRenderer 
(ButtonAddToPlaylist).


Thanks,

Mike

[flexcoders] mx:repeater RangeError when recycleChildren=true

2008-07-22 Thread stu_bot

Hi,

I'm having an issue using an mx:repeater to display the tabs inside an
mx:TabNavigator. Using recycleChildren=true seems to have a problem
when the underlying dataProvider (an ArrayCollection) is changed.

I've reduced the problem down to the following code:


?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; 

mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;

[Bindable]
public var a:ArrayCollection = new 
ArrayCollection([1,2,3]);
]]
/mx:Script

mx:Button click=a.addItem(4) label=Add tab /

mx:TabNavigator
mx:Repeater id=rptr 
dataProvider={a} 
recycleChildren=true

mx:VBox label={rptr.currentItem.valueOf()} 
width=200 /
/mx:Repeater
/mx:TabNavigator

/mx:Application


Clicking the button results in RangeError: Error #2006: The supplied
index is out of bounds.

When recycleChildren=false I don't get the error.

Has anybody got any suggestions on this one?

[flexcoders] Re: remoteObject questions (just to understand it better)

2008-07-22 Thread valdhor

As I understand this (And I am no expert yet), you can explicitly set
parameters for RemoteObjects or you can set them using XML (In files
like services-config.xml and remoting-config.xml).

In your case you don't have any config file(s) so the destination
would be meaningless. Normally this would generate an error but as you
set the other parameters explicitly, the destination parameter is ignored.

If you remove the endpoint parameter you will see the error -
something like Destination HelloWorldDDD not found and the
application does not set any default destinations.

Re: [flexcoders] Trigger updateDisplayList

Hi,

updateDisplayList() is a method.

You would call

invalidateDisplayList() and the next frame, updateDisplayList() will be
called AFTER measure() if invalidateSize() was called OR measurements became
invalid for some other reason.

[flexcoders] XMLListCollection and swapping DataGrid items

2008-07-22 Thread tony.grimes57

I have a datagrid that is fed by an XMLListCollection dataprovider.

I am trying to impliment a 'move up' / 'move down' feature with arrows 
so a user can reorder rows in the datagrid. 

I know reordering can be done via drag and drop, but does anyone have 
an example of what would effectively be a method looking like as 
follows:

XMLListCollection.swapItems(item1Index:int, item2Index:int); //where 
the method effectively takes the items at the given indexes and swaps 
them round

The idea being that you change the List Collection and the datagrid 
reflects these changes automatically (as is standard behaviour with 
dataproviders).

I can ALMOST get it working but i think it doesnt like more than one 
change to the collection at once and it may require a eventListener for 
the second part of teh swap. 

Any ideas / examples?

[flexcoders] Re: Smooth main chart drag effect on Google Finance

2008-07-22 Thread Matt Bennett

Just a quick follow up to this. You can create a smooth-drag effect by
changing the values on the axes rather than modifying the dataset for
the chart - this will give a pixel-by-pixel drag effect. See Ely
Greenfield's Interactive Bubble Chart at [1] for an example.

There are a few downsides though:

1) Edges are only drawn between points within the chart, so you always
have a gap between the last point and the edge of the chart.

2) There's a problem with the default AxisRenderer that this technique
exposes. I've made another post about that at [2]. The example in that
post uses a BubbleChart, but all the principals apply to LineCharts too.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Filter an ArrayCollection into an ItemRender

You need to call collectionData.refresh() when the data property changes for
the itemRenderer. One way to do it would be:

mx:Binding source=data destination=dataChanged/

then add the method:

private function dataChanged(data:Object):void {
collectionData.refresh();
}

Hopefully that does it.

RE: [flexcoders] XMLListCollection and swapping DataGrid items

If you are moving up or down (resequencing), then you don't want to
swap.  

 

You should be able to use removeItemAt(), which returns a reference to
the item removed, and addItemAt() to re-insert it.  You may need to
manipulate the indexes if you move an item down, because removing the
item causes the indexes to adjust.

 

If you really want to swap, you should be able to do that also, again
paying attention to the indexes.  If you use the AC API, the UI should
refresh itself.

 

What issues are you having?

I have a datagrid that is fed by an XMLListCollection dataprovider.

I am trying to impliment a 'move up' / 'move down' feature with arrows 
so a user can reorder rows in the datagrid. 

I know reordering can be done via drag and drop, but does anyone have 
an example of what would effectively be a method looking like as 
follows:

XMLListCollection.swapItems(item1Index:int, item2Index:int); //where 
the method effectively takes the items at the given indexes and swaps 
them round

The idea being that you change the List Collection and the datagrid 
reflects these changes automatically (as is standard behaviour with 
dataproviders).

I can ALMOST get it working but i think it doesnt like more than one 
change to the collection at once and it may require a eventListener for 
the second part of teh swap. 

Any ideas / examples?

Just add config files to the project and change your compiler settings
to point to the config file(s)...

or

Create RemoteObject instances and explicitly set the properties.

All that the setting does in the project wizard is add the most used
items (Like config files) to your project and setup the compiler
settings for you.

[flexcoders] PrintAdvancedDataGrid Infuriation!!

Folks,

  I have a strange one here.  I am attempting to use the 
PrintAdvancedDataGrid control to print my grid.  When I copy and run the 
entire example on adobe's website 
(http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=printing_5.html) 
and run it locally...then print...it works fine.  But when I paste the 
function into my own code, tie it to my ADG and print, I get a gray 
box.  The only difference I can see between their example and my code is 
that they are using an array for their data source while I have an 
XMLList. 

   Anyone have ANY idea what the heck is going on here?  I found a 
posting on the web where someone else ran into this problem but there 
was no resolution.

[flexcoders] 3D Column Chart - Is there a way to set the item update order?

2008-07-22 Thread EddieBerman

I'm building a 3D column chart and am finding that I need to draw the
columns in a specific order other than the default, which appears to
be by series.

Things go just fine until the z-order depth is greater than the
distance between the series. Once that occurs, the potential exists
for things to go south. 

Images of the problem are here:
http://picasaweb.google.com/eddieberman/Flex/photo#5225608935449236386
and the preferred result here:
http://picasaweb.google.com/eddieberman/Flex/photo#5225608932592265602


My question is - Is there a way to define, or otherwise take over the
drawing order of the ColumnSeriesItems? I want to draw the columns in
the order they appear from left to right, but Flex seems to want to
draw by order of series - first Series1, then Series2, then Series3, etc.

In looking through the Adobe source code, I haven't found a way around
this - yet. 


Thanks in advance for anyone who might have clues to share.

I see you're hard-coding the width and height of your itemrenderer.  
Is that sufficiently large to adequately display the largest image in 
the data set?

If so, it might be that something has gone wonky with the way the 
list is measuring your component (lists often adjust this depending 
on the size constraints you've used).  You may have to override 
measure() and reaffirm to the List that this is the size you actually 
do want.

This will look something like:

override protected function measure():void{
super.measure();
measuredWidth=this.getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth
(); 
measuredHeight=this.getExplicitOrMeasuredHeight();

[flexcoders] Real Multicolumn Form in Flex

2008-07-22 Thread Guilherme Blanco

Hi all,


Does anyone have already implemented a multicolumn form in Flex?

Before you point me to Google (GIYF), I already tried all solutions
available, including the most known ones:
- 
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/communityengine/index.cfm?event=showdetailsproductId=2postId=9644
- http://jc.pontaza.com/wp/?p=77
- My own

Let me first describe the each ones:

Adobe's: It plays really nice, until you need to define an item that
occupies more than a single row. There's no colSpan (as in HTML), but
there's rowSpan for column.

Potanza's: Weird, really weird solution. It only accepts column
organization if you use its FormGroup class. Inspecting source, you'll
see that FormGroup extends Form, and the entire idea behind a single
Form is down.
My automate script pick each FormItem (or any other class that I
define) and incorporate all children picking its value depending on
children class instance. Sounds big and yes, it is.
The issue is that this automation ignores other Forms. So if you
define a nested form inside the one you're calling, all fields
internally defined are ignored.

Mine: I used a simple HBox and made Box children inside. It did
everything I wanted, except label spacing. The form inputs does not
left align to the higher one, and becomes horrible.
I switched then to Grid, and the same issue happened again.


Now, I ask the same question again does anyone have already
implemented a *real* multicolumn form in Flex?
If possible could you share the source or swc file?


Thanks in advance,

When someone clicks on the checkbox, I want them to confirm before the
checkbox is toggled.

Basically, how can I have the click on the checkbox not toggle it, and
ill toggle it myself... ?

[flexcoders] Self-resizing flex apps

Let's say I want to have a flex app expand to include new content. One 
way to do this is to make a call to JavaScript to resize the container. 
Is there a way to do it entirely within the app?

[flexcoders] How do I make a flex app transparent?

Is there a way to make a flex app transparent, and have its events pass 
through to underlying javascript?

For example, there's a flex app that takes up the entire window. There 
are a couple controls in one corner, but otherwise, you can see through 
the app to the html page below. The html page contains a button, which 
can be pressed, dispite the app on top of it.

Thanks

Select is fine too. All I want is to change a color of a cell that 
was clicked with a right mouse, thus when a user selects an action 
from the popup menu the cell will become diffrent in color. Searched 
this forum, did not find anything.

It puts a gap between the top border and the contents, (instead of

Re: [flexcoders] Browser scrollbars not working properly with percentage sizing of application

2008-07-22 Thread Rick Schmitty

Did you have any luck figuring out a solution?  Also interested in this

On Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 6:54 PM, dannyvenier [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Hi, I'm hoping someone else has suffered through this problem and can save
 me some additional agony.

 My objective is to have a flex app use 100% sizing to maximize to size of
 browser, and to set min-height and min-width to set a point at which the
 application content does not shrink any further and scrollbars on the
 browser kick in.  Sounds simple?

 Here's some  sample application code setting  up an app this way, with a
 VBox inside the application to  hold content of some kind:

 ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

 mx:Application

 xmlns:mx=

 http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;

 layout=

 absolute

 horizontalScrollPolicy=

 off

 verticalScrollPolicy=

 off

 width=

 100%

 height=

 100%

 minWidth=

 950

 minHeight=

 600

 mx:VBox

 x=

 10 y=10

 width=

 100%

 height=

 100%

 verticalAlign=

 top 

 /mx:VBox

 /mx:Application

 I have not messed much with the default html-template that is generated.   I
 have added a min-height and min-width style property to the body style.

 

 style

 body

 { min-height: 600px; min-width: 950px; }

 /

 style

 The result is not as I expected- the browser (firefox) opens and when larger
 than the minimum width and height specified, it has no scrollbars, which is
 as expected.  When it is dragged below the minimum size thresholds,
 scrollbars appear in both vertical and horizontal directions.   So far, so
 good. However, when I shrink the window in the vertical direction, then use
 the scrollbar to scroll to the lower content, anything below (in the
 vertical direction) the current size of the browser has been clipped and I
 get whitespace.  Scrolling horizontally works fine and I can navigate out to
 the right but the vertical scrolling is hosed.

 I tried using the overflow:scroll and overflow:auto in the html template but
 it bought me nothing.  The outcome was only partly consistent between IE7
 and firefox, at least for this set of properties and conditons.  Neither one
 worked properly.  IE often had the scrollbar rails, but not the control
 slider part.

 My objective is to have the scrollbars operating in the browser rather than
 in the application container itself.

 Has anyone managed to get browser scrollbars working for this kind of 100%
 sizing flex app?  If so, I'd really appreciate any insight.

 thanks,

 Danny

RE: [flexcoders] what is vellum in flex4?

This is the new Text Component Library (formerly known as Vellum; name
still subject to change). This library is a set of AS3 classes,
currently packaged into the SWCs named text_xxx.swc, that sit on top of
the Flash Text Engine (FTE) in Flash Player 10. Together these replace
the old TextField, and they support improved typography, bidirectional
(left-to-right and right-to-left) text, and an object-oriented text
model. All new Gumbo components use these new-and-improved text classes
rather than TextField.

[flexcoders] PrintAdvancedDataGrid Infuriation!! - More Information

2008-07-22 Thread Adrian Williams


Some additional information:

Just for shiggles, I pulled the example data source and panel creation 
into my program using the same function and the print of the example ADG 
worked fine.  The only difference between their data and mine is that 
they are using an ArrayCollection while I am using XML.  I've even 
changed it to an XMLListCollection and the print still gives me a gray 
box. 


Here is my data creation:

   [Bindable]
   private var memberReportDataFeed:XMLListCollection;
   private function reportDataFeedResult(event:ResultEvent):void
   {
   memberRpt.dataProvider = event.result;
   }

Clearly the problem is not in the function but rather a conflict in data 
types or so it seems.  I have to use the XML as its data coming from our 
.net side via a web service. 


Any ideas here would be greatly appreciated.

Adrian



Folks,

  I have a strange one here.  I am attempting to use the 
PrintAdvancedDataGrid control to print my grid.  When I copy and run the 
entire example on adobe's website 
(http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=printing_5.html) 
and run it locally...then print...it works fine.  But when I paste the 
function into my own code, tie it to my ADG and print, I get a gray 
box.  The only difference I can see between their example and my code is 
that they are using an array for their data source while I have an 
XMLList. 

   Anyone have ANY idea what the heck is going on here?  I found a 
posting on the web where someone else ran into this problem but there 
was no resolution.


Thanks,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Filter an ArrayCollection into an ItemRender

But in this case it's not an item in the ArrayCollection that changed, but
instead the criteria you want to filter with, so you need to refresh
manually, unless I'm missing something.

[flexcoders] Smooth Marquee

2008-07-22 Thread kenny14390

I tried to scroll images from right to left using DHTML, but the
scrolling was choppy and it didn't look right. I want to do this in
Flex, but I'm not sure where to start. The application needs to;

- take a list of images (maybe in an HBox)
- smoothly scroll from right to left
- repeat the loop after the entire list has been scrolled

This application will be a Flex equivalent of the deprecated marquee
HTML tag.

Has anyone does this before? Any resources online that you could
direct me to? Any tips to get started? Thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: Aligning images in TileList itemRenderer

Hi Amy, thanks a ton for your help.  It turns out, all I needed to do was make 
the item 
renderer out of the image tag instead of enclosing in the vbox.. and presto, 
all is well.
Thanks!  I'm off to the races!

 I see you're hard-coding the width and height of your itemrenderer.  
 Is that sufficiently large to adequately display the largest image in 
 the data set?
 
 If so, it might be that something has gone wonky with the way the 
 list is measuring your component (lists often adjust this depending 
 on the size constraints you've used).  You may have to override 
 measure() and reaffirm to the List that this is the size you actually 
 do want.
 
 This will look something like:
 
 override protected function measure():void{
   super.measure();
   measuredWidth=this.getExplicitOrMeasuredWidth
 ();   
   measuredHeight=this.getExplicitOrMeasuredHeight();  
   }

[flexcoders] Got Error #2032: Stream Error invoking web service for IE6 and IE7

2008-07-22 Thread thuvu03

I am using Flex 2.0. I have been getting Error #2032: Stream Error on 
both IE6 and IE7 (but not Firefox) when I have mulitple UIs up in 
multiple IE browsers that invoke an operation of a web service. My web 
service uses Apache Axis 1.2 and it's deployed to jboss server. Here 
are the steps that will reproduce the #2032 error:

1. Bring up my Flex UI on one IE browser and login successfully. Once 
logged in sucessfully, the UI will call the getEvents() webservice 
call with a timeout of 10s. If the server has any updates it will 
return the results right away. Else, it will wait for 10s to be up and 
returns with no data to update. After the UI receives the response it 
will then call getEvents() again. This will just go on indefintely for 
the UI to get new updates. 
2. Bring up my Flex UI on another new IE browser (on the same machine 
as in step 1) and login succesfully again. Same as in step 1, the UI 
will call the getEvents() webservice call to get new server updates if 
any.
3. Using any of the UI (either in step 1 or 2), make some 
modifications to the data and submit to the server. The modified data 
got submitted sucessfully. When one of the UIs calls getEvents() it 
will get Error #2032 in the fault handler.

Notes: I used Charles, TCP Monitor, and WireShark and I saw the 
getEvents() response coming back successfullly with valid SOAP 
response and the status code is 200 OK. I have searched the web with 
nothing relevant to this. I have read that maybe it has to do with the 
famous browser limitation of 2 http connections. If it is, it works 
fine with Firefox even if I have 5 browsers up. Isn't Firefox has 2 
connections limit as well? 
It works perfectly fine if I have one and only one IE browser per 
client host.I even changed the http connections limit for IE to 10 and 
still experiencing the same problem when I have 2 IEs up on the same 
machine.

Any helps/suggestions is greatly APPRECIATED for I have banged my head 
on this problem for the past 4 days.

Thanks,
Thu

[flexcoders] Why is my swf so big?

Probably an old question, but I didn't find anything useful by 
searching the group.

I'm using the trial version of Flex Builder 3 Standard. I create a new 
Flex project, and, without writing any code, export a release build. 
The swf file size is 147KB. Then I create a project that contains 
nothing but an empty DataGrid. The file size grows to 242KB! Throw in 
an AdvancedDataGrid, and it's up to 300KB.

Is there anything I can do to reduce the size? Even 147KB seems huge 
for an empty app. And why does DataGrid pump it up so much? I heard 
that the Flex framework was included in the Flash 9 runtime. If that's 
true, adding a DataGrid should have no effect on output size.

[flexcoders] Upgrading or uninstalling AIR installations

2008-07-22 Thread flexdev4

Does anyone have any ideas or workarounds for the inability to
silently update or uninstall an AIR app?  Allow me to explain..

The documentation for redistributing the AIR runtime and silently
installing an AIR application says that you *cannot* silently upgrade
an application because of a possible security risk.

Fair enough, but when bundling the AIR runtime installer and my AIR
app embedded in another installer, *I* know if the version I'm about
to install is newer or not.  So I'd like to update the existing AIR
app or uninstall it and then install the new version.  

I can think of a few ways:
1.) Don't use the silent installer.  This seems like a bad idea; I
want to force an installation directory and do an automated
installation for enterprise deployments. 
2.) Delete the existing application and then run the silent installer.
 This doesn't seem like a great idea.
3.) Convince Adobe to allow for silent upgrades or uninstalls.

[ Let me make my argument for allowing for silent upgrades or
uninstalls:  People doing deployments know what they want, even in the
case where its an old version.  ]

Does anyone have any additional ideas other than the 3 above?

RE: [flexcoders] Why is my swf so big?

If you turn on the shared RSL, it will shrink the swf significantly.

 

Frameworks tend to be heavy, especially if the focus is on RAD.  Just
look at any MFC app.  DG brings in the collections subsystem, ADG brings
in hierarchical collections.

 

The framework is not included in the Flash 9 runtime.  It has to be
downloaded by some app into that user's browser, then other apps can use
it.

the namespace is vellum:http://vellum/prerelease, i spent an hour trying
to just see what i can do with it but nothing is going up on the screen.
it looks like html tags that are native in flash player but i have no
idea how to use it since i searched and there is nothing on it. Anyone
know how to use it? and also the xmlns:edit=text.edit.* namespace

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Filter an ArrayCollection into an ItemRender

2008-07-22 Thread Troy Gilbert

 In theory, if you have [Bindable] or [Managed] items in the collection, or
 call itemUpdated appropriately, you do not need to call refresh() again when
 an item's properties change.

I was wondering about the binding of the ArrayCollection itself, not
the elements it contains (which works as expected). I'm wondering if
folks just do what Scott suggested, i.e. add a mx:Binding statement on
the collection and have it call refresh, or is there a different
pattern, something more concise?

For example, if I have a component that needs a filtered view of a
collection, I just pass the collection through a mx:ListCollectionView
first:

mx:ListCollectionView id=filteredCollection
source={myBigCollection} filterFunction={myCustomFilterFunc} /

mx:List dataProvider={filteredCollection} /

The annoyance is that with just that code my filter function never
gets called and my list gets the whole, unfiltered collection. In
other words, refresh() doesn't get called when the source property of
a ListCollectionView changes, just when the *contents* of a
ListCollectionView's source changes.

And that just seems odd to me... and feels like a bad abstraction/API
as it requires me to always wire up some method for calling refresh
when the view's source changes. When would I ever *not* want to
refresh my collection in that scenario? I'd think that specifying a
filter function *implies* you want the view to be filtered, always.

Is Scott's approach the most common idiom for this?

Troy.

[flexcoders] Icon Click and iconFunction on ListItemRenderer

2008-07-22 Thread Vijay Anand Mareddy

I am using a simple List with icons and labelText using the iconFunction and 
labelfunction respectively ...is there a way to tell on mylist.itemClick  if 
the user has 
clicked on the icon or the labelText ? 

Both ListEvent.target and ListEvent.currentTarget are mx.controls.List  ...is 
there any other 
property i can look at ? 

I even tried my own simple MyListItemRenderer but myClickHandler is not invoked!

public class MyListItemRenderer extends ListItemRenderer {

private function myClickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void{
   trace('myClickHandler invoked');
 }

override protected function commitProperties():void{
 super.commitProperties();
 if(icon){
  trace('icon is NOT null');
   icon.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,myClickHandler);  
  
 } else {
  trace(' icon is null');
 }
}
}

[flexcoders] Flash Player Express Install and Upgrade Conversion

2008-07-22 Thread element7791

Recently, I began tracking conversion on Express install upgrades and
the numbers have been less then spectacular.  I'm using SWFObject 1.5
and express install and I'm only seeing about 30% of users upgrade
once prompted and 30% are hitting cancel while the rest appear to
navigate away.

I modified the playerProductInstall to track when it loads, and all of
the built in callbacks. My sample size is pretty large at this point
5000 prompts a day out of a 100,000 viewers when trying to push users
to 9.0.115.  I will be the 1st to admit my users are less then
technically savvy.

I read the articles about Best Practices on flash detection and
don't see much different from an end-user perspective out there.  Now
that I look at the process in light of these numbers there has to be a
better methodology.   Anyone have any thoughts on how to go about
improving these numbers?

Specifically:

Can I change the look of the express install dialog?  In light of
these numbers it now looks to me like it is the same size as standard
RECTANGE ad unit that wants to trick you into installing spyware.  I
know I could put something in front of the dialog but I don's see
extra clicks improving things.

Can I trigger the browser plug-in install messaging on a minor dot
release level?

Anyone have thoughts on a better way of convincing users to upgrade?

[flexcoders] Encapsulating a custom flex component?

2008-07-22 Thread Nate Beck

Newbish question... but after searching on google, I can't get a concise 
answer.  

Is it possible to encapsulate (mark private) components within a Flex 
component?  

So I have custom MXML component (ResourcesTree) that has a Tree inside of it. I 
don't want 
the Tree to directly be available outside the ResourcesTree Component.

Any input?

Re: [flexcoders] Why is my swf so big?

2008-07-22 Thread Doug McCune

ADG also brings in the largest classes in the Flex framework. I just did a
link report on one of my projects and here are some of the results for the
ADG-related classes (I stopped at classes under 1k cause who really cares).
This is the output of a link report on a non-optimized swf (so the #s are
probably not accurate to what you would see in a production swf).

AdvancedDataGrid - 103.1 k
AdvancedListBase - 93.2 k
AdvancedDataGridBaseEx - 87.6 k
AdvancedDataGridBase - 28.2 k
AdvancedDataGridColumn - 12.8 k
AdvancedDataGridHeaderRenderer - 10.5 k
AdvancedDataGridSortItemRenderer - 6.4 k
AdvancedDataGridDragProxy - 3.6 k
AdvancedListBaseContentHolder - 2.7 k
AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup - 2.5 k
AdvancedDataGridEvent - 2.4 k
AdvancedDataGridHeaderHorizontalSeparator - 1.5 k
AdvancedDataGridHeaderInfo - 1.3 k
AdvancedDataGridBaseSelectionPending - 1.3 k
AdvancedDataGridListData - 1.2 k
AdvancedDataGridBaseSelectionData - 1 k
IAdvancedDataGridRendererProvider - 1 k

Then there are the hierarchical collection classes:

HierarchicalCollectionView - 17.7 k
HierarchicalCollectionViewCursor - 12 k
HierarchicalData - 2.7 k
IHierarchicalCollectionView - 2.7 k
IHierarchicalData - 1,1 k

So yeah, AdvancedDataGrid is 8,433 lines of code. If you add up the top 4
classes in the list above (AdvancedDataGrid, AdvancedListBase,
AdvancedDataGridEx, and AdvancedDataGridBase) you get a whopping total of
26,521 lines of code. It makes me cry.

So be aware.

If you turn on the shared RSL, it will shrink the swf significantly.



 Frameworks tend to be heavy, especially if the focus is on RAD.  Just look
 at any MFC app.  DG brings in the collections subsystem, ADG brings in
 hierarchical collections.



 The framework is not included in the Flash 9 runtime.  It has to be
 downloaded by some app into that user's browser, then other apps can use it.

 *Subject:* [flexcoders] Why is my swf so big?



 Probably an old question, but I didn't find anything useful by
 searching the group.

 I'm using the trial version of Flex Builder 3 Standard. I create a new
 Flex project, and, without writing any code, export a release build.
 The swf file size is 147KB. Then I create a project that contains
 nothing but an empty DataGrid. The file size grows to 242KB! Throw in
 an AdvancedDataGrid, and it's up to 300KB.

 Is there anything I can do to reduce the size? Even 147KB seems huge
 for an empty app. And why does DataGrid pump it up so much? I heard
 that the Flex framework was included in the Flash 9 runtime. If that's
 true, adding a DataGrid should have no effect on output size.

The iconFunction is not ignored by the _Advanced_ Data Grid.  I can 
tell you this, because I use it successfully in a project I just

Check this example
the first part is the right one, after i scroll up and down, it gets

[flexcoders] running flex\samples\explorer\build.bat

I'm trying to run the build.bat file in the \samples\explorer

get the following errors:

I have tried ant1.7.1, 1.7.0 and 1.6.5 as suggested elsewhere, but 
no joy.  My dev machine has more stuff installed (Apache Ant and 
Tomcat, Xalan, Xerces, to name a few) than the lightweight laptop 
that the .bat file worked on.  

What can I do to get this task to run?

Thanks in advance.
