[flexcoders] flexant will not compile custom components declared as tags
Anyone know why it seems impossible to compile an mxml-file like this: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? mx:Module xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=vertical width=200 height=200 backgroundColor=0x00ff00 xmlns:components=com.subotnik.components.* components:AntTestClass/ /mx:Module ...but if I declare the AntTestClass as a variable in the script-tag it works fine? // Fredrik Sandberg

Re: [flexcoders] Re: lightweight eclipse
Eclipse does consume some amount of memory, but hey even firefox frequently goes over the 100M mark. But Eclipse should not spiral out of control like you are saying. Besides the memory parameters given to the JVM do restrict memory usage. You should run into an exception rather then consuming all your memory resources. To know more about your memory issue it would be helpfull if you posted your eclipse.ini file here. Did you install any other plug-ins with Eclipse (I assume you did)? Maybe one of those plug-ins is the reason why memory is consumed and not returned.

1. Yes I have embed each fonts in .swf, and use following css

I have created few fonts css and compiled them into swf to load them

There is one custom component Card, is placed into a Module and this
Module is loaded by main application.
The Card component contains TextArea, MyTextArea(custom component) and
ComboBox (which display font list).
Now when user select any font from ComboBox, Card component load css
and when it get loaded, it updates fontFamily of TextArea and
MyTextArea. But only TextArea updated with new fonts while MyTextArea
is not getting update anytime.
Can anyone help me to figure out this.

Hi
Let me clear what is MyTextArea. This component is copied from
mx:RichTextEditor/, so that user can format each character of
MyTextArea's text.
For a testing purpose I have create one more component TempTextArea
based on TextArea, and put it inside Card component. And when user
change font I am updating fontFamily of TempTextArea using following
setter method
public function set _font(val:String):void{
this.setStyle(fontFamily,val);
}
And TempTextArea is working correct.
I think there is something wrong in MyTextArea, as it uses all method
of RichTextEditor.mxml and have following function to update styles of
TextArea
public function setTextStyles(type:String, value:Object = null):void
{
//I have removed lines which are not related to my issue
var tf:TextFormat;
var beginIndex:int = this.getTextField().selectionBeginIndex;
var endIndex:int = this.getTextField().selectionEndIndex;
.
tf[type] = value;
..
this.getTextField().setTextFormat(tf,beginIndex,endIndex);

[flexcoders] PropertyChangeEvent problems in ArrayCollection
I am trying to keep track of changes to an ArrayCollection. I have so far got all of the CollectionEventKind working except for UPDATE. It actually does add that a change was made for UPDATE, however, it doesn't actually save what the change was that was made. e.g. CollectionChange fires, and I store it in an ArrayCollection. However, when I debug what was actually stored, I get a CollectionEvent, with an items array of 1 PropertyChangeEvent, which has a source object with the new values and shows the correct property that was changed, however, both the newValue and oldValue properties of the PropertyChangeEvent are both null. I'm trying to figure out how to get at the data before it is changed. I capture the CollectionChange event, but at that point, the data has already changed (as is evidenced by the PropertyChangeEvent showing the new values and none of the old values). Does anyone know what I can override to capture the changes before they are actually made to the ArrayCollection itself. This way I could even use my own createUpdateEvent to store the values. Thanks. Gareth

Try this inside your ADG MXML:
mx:dataProvider
mx:HierarchicalData source={yourXML}
childrenField=Bar/
/mx:dataProvider
Then you can use name in your dataField. Note that this will give
you a hierarchical (tree-like) effect.
If that's not what you wanted, you can probably use a labelFunction.

[flexcoders] Re: Populate TileList w/ data from XML file?
I'll keep an eye on that new class at Ben's blog, but here's how I
solved the issue, by creating a custom itemRenderer. A bit of a
workaround, but more flexible than using the generic tileList:
mx:TileList dataProvider={uniXML}
labelField=groupID
iconField=thumbnail
height=100%
width=100%
rowHeight=200 columnWidth=125
itemClick=uniLoad(event)
mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
mx:VBox horizontalAlign=center
mx:Image width=110 height=160
source={data.thumbnail}/
mx:Text id=thumbText width=100%
height=22 fontSize=9
text={data.top.styleCode.womensStyleCode + '/' +
data.top.styleCode.mensStyleCode} /
/mx:VBox
/mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer
/mx:TileList
The itemClick loads a SWF that corresponds to the thumbnail in the
tileList. Works like a charm!
Thanks again for your direction.

Amy,
Can you be more specific? Would I have to build a class for my
images, with the path to the images in the class file?
BTW, I've solved this another way (thanks to some folks at the
Adobe
forums), by using a custom renderer and replacing 'icon'
with 'image'. I'll post the code in a bit.
The easiest way to create an image class is to embed it
[Embed source=images\yourImage.png]

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Nested property display in ADG
Hi,
Thanks for the quick answer.
I do not like the tree effect... I want a plain grid first (later I'll
use the tree but based on other things).
++--+
| foo| bar |
++--+
| 1 | test |
++--+
That's what I want... I have around 10 xml nested items and the user
will be able to display all columns if he/she wants to.
So my idea is a nicer solution than labelFunction (which I'd have to
make a switch for all fields).
That's my real structure: http://pastie.org/241033 (each item is the
row I want to display on grid).
Is it better explained now? There must have a nicer solution for this
instead of labelFunction =)
Thanks in advance,

[flexcoders] Timer memory leak
Howdy all! I've got a memory leak issue with my problem. I just added a third party countdown timer component to my project. I've narrowed down the culprit to the event listener that listens for the timer event and then calls an updateTime function. timer.addEventListener(timer, updateTime, false, 0, true); As you can see, it uses a weak reference, as it should. The updateTime function declares two event objects, and checks if the timer has reached zero. It either stops the timer and throws a completed event, or it throws an event to update the visual component to the new time. Removing the addEventListener function plugs the leak, but the visual component never gets updated. I've moved the declarations of the two events from within the updateTime to the class itself to stop the timer from creating new objects every time it fires, but the app still leaks. It seems that everything is technically correct, but calling a function evey second is just devouring memory. So I guess I'm looking for a workaround to update the display without an event listeneryeah that may be impossible... Any suggestions?
[flexcoders] Tweener and HTTPService conflict
Hey everybody, I am using the Tweener class for an animation that is going on toward the top of my flex application. The problem is when I add an http service to grab data to populate the menubar at the bottom, it looks as if the application waits for the animation to be done before the menubar populates. I cannot figure out why this is happening. I have tried putting the menubar and http request in another swf, no luck.

[flexcoders] AdvancedDataGrid layout problem
I'm having trouble laying out my AdvancedDataGrid. I would like to have a tree with a depth of 1 (a root node only contains leaf nodes). The rootnode is just the expand/collapse icon, followed by a name. The leaf nodes have several columns, the first few of which are very narrow. Basically, I want the root nodes to ignore the column structure of the leaf nodes. Something like a colspan in HTML. I'm using HierarchicalData, because I found the grouping method to be way too slow for my needs.

welcome to 2032 hell :) as you should have run across, this is a generic error thrown when th ebrowser says there is something wrong, but the browser does not tell FP what is wrong. I've seen this afflict IE with some webservices. It would happen randomly and with the same exact call/returned data pattern too, so I ruled out bad data.

[flexcoders] best way to immediately post advanceddatagrid itemeditor change
I have a column that contains an image. The editor for it is a combobox
that lets you pick an image from the list of images in an arraycollection.
I want to have it where as soon as they click on the image from the
dropdown, the combobox disappears completely and changes are posted to the
original object. Is there a single recommended way to do this? Here's what
I've come up with:
mx:itemEditor
mx:Component
mx:ComboBox
dropdownWidth=40
dataProvider={WATIcons.customIcons}
change={finishEdit(event)}
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.events.ListEvent;
private function finishEdit(e:ListEvent):void
{
GridUser(data).customIcon = selectedItem.icon;
var k:KeyboardEvent = new KeyboardEvent(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,
true, false, 0, Keyboard.ESCAPE);
dispatchEvent(k);
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:ComboBox
/mx:Component
/mx:itemEditor
I tried fiddling with things like sending ITEM_EDIT_END messages and such
but didn't really have any luck. This works, but I wonder if it's really
the best way to go about it.
PS: The ComboBox is functional, but not very visually appealing. What I'd
really like to do would be to have a spiffy TileList that drops down and has
several icons across and some down, etc. But I haven't written that code
yet. If someone already knows of a pre-written itemEditor for such of
thing, feel free to point the way.

RE: [flexcoders] problem with embeds in static variables
Class initialization is just a bunch of code. The eye class may not be

When it is an instance var, the eye class has probably been fully setup

Assigning default values to statics that are not compile-time constants

RE: [flexcoders] Timer memory leak
It would be pretty hard for that line to cause a leak. It is more likely to be whatever updateTime is doing. From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of steve.baney Sent: Friday, July 25, 2008 8:18 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Timer memory leak Howdy all! I've got a memory leak issue with my problem. I just added a third party countdown timer component to my project. I've narrowed down the culprit to the event listener that listens for the timer event and then calls an updateTime function. timer.addEventListener(timer, updateTime, false, 0, true); As you can see, it uses a weak reference, as it should. The updateTime function declares two event objects, and checks if the timer has reached zero. It either stops the timer and throws a completed event, or it throws an event to update the visual component to the new time. Removing the addEventListener function plugs the leak, but the visual component never gets updated. I've moved the declarations of the two events from within the updateTime to the class itself to stop the timer from creating new objects every time it fires, but the app still leaks. It seems that everything is technically correct, but calling a function evey second is just devouring memory. So I guess I'm looking for a workaround to update the display without an event listeneryeah that may be impossible... Any suggestions?
RE: [flexcoders] PropertyChangeEvent problems in ArrayCollection
What is the property that is changing? I think you may need to have your own code generate the proper change event.

I have so far got all of the CollectionEventKind working except for UPDATE. It actually does add that a change was made for UPDATE, however, it doesn't actually save what the change was that was made. e.g. CollectionChange fires, and I store it in an ArrayCollection. However, when I debug what was actually stored, I get a CollectionEvent, with an items array of 1 PropertyChangeEvent, which has a source object with the new values and shows the correct property that was changed, however, both the newValue and oldValue properties of the PropertyChangeEvent are both null. I'm trying to figure out how to get at the data before it is changed. I capture the CollectionChange event, but at that point, the data has already changed (as is evidenced by the PropertyChangeEvent showing the new values and none of the old values). Does anyone know what I can override to capture the changes before they are actually made to the ArrayCollection itself. This way I could even use my own createUpdateEvent to store the values.

It means your data objects are just plain objects and any changes to

Let me clear what is MyTextArea. This component is copied from

For a testing purpose I have create one more component TempTextArea
based on TextArea, and put it inside Card component. And when user
change font I am updating fontFamily of TempTextArea using following
setter method
public function set _font(val:String):void{
this.setStyle(fontFamily,val);

And TempTextArea is working correct.
I think there is something wrong in MyTextArea, as it uses all method
of RichTextEditor.mxml and have following function to update styles of
TextArea
public function setTextStyles(type:String, value:Object = null):void
{
//I have removed lines which are not related to my issue
var tf:TextFormat;
var beginIndex:int = this.getTextField().selectionBeginIndex;

tf[type] = value;

this.getTextField().setTextFormat(tf,beginIndex,endIndex);

If the goal is to generate different canvas children based on the data,
a custom renderer should do that in commitProperties. How you
determine which children to create is up to you, but you wouldn't do

Alex already said that you can't add any new parts into a
ClassFactory. All you can do is set properties on it. It would be
an intriguing feature, so you might want to make a feature request.
For now, this method will only work to create instances of a class

No, you're not adding a new class on the fly. You're creating a new
instance of a ClassFactory subclass on the fly. A class is something
that is defined at compile time by a class { .. } definition. You cannot
create new classes at runtime, only instances of them.

No, you're not adding a new class on the fly. You're creating a new

cannot
create new classes at runtime, only instances of them.
It seems to me, though, that once you have that instance, it would be
really cool if you could add stuff to it on the fly and then use that
to stamp out new objects. After all, now you can do something like
this:
//create new INSTANCE of Canvas
myCanvas:Canvas = new Canvas();
myButton:Button = new Button();
myButton.label = 'test';
myCanvas.addChild(myButton);
If you could then take that Canvas and use it for an itemRenderer,
how cool would that be? So if ClassFactory had some mechanism to
call the methods that the object _in_ the factory has, we could not
only use it for itemRenderers, but there would be a more satisfying
answer for people who get frustrated trying to assign the same object
to multiple parents.

RE: [flexcoders] LCDS - Data Management Service Problem
This error can occur when you access an unpaged item when paging is enabled of
course, but given that you are running that code in the result handler it seems
like this is not the problem (unless the result event is being delivered for
another call on that data service).
It might also happen if the identities are not getting defined properly in
ActionScript. If you add mx:TraceTarget/ and send along the resulting
flashlog.txt, we can see what is happening from that.

Subject: [flexcoders] LCDS - Data Management Service Problem
Hello,
I have a Data Management Service that uses a managed ArrayCollection of users.
When a user is added by one client, the other clients are notified by the Data
Management Service, and I want
to loop through the ArrayCollection, using the code below, but I always get the
following error :
Error: Item requested is not available. A request for the item is now pending.

This error occurs when the line users.getItemAt(j) as User is executed.
It seems that although the length of the ArrayCollection users equals 1, I can
not get the Item at position 0. Maybe the update of the ArrayCollection
is not yet finished ? How can I loop through the ArrayCollection upon changes ?

[flexcoders] mxml components
Ok, I'm trying to get a firm grasp on AS3 components/classes. I'm trying to figure out how to structure code so I can optimize code re-use.

RE: [flexcoders] mxml components
Some terminology: Classes aren't calling classes. Classes don't call anything... methods inside classes call other methods. In your MXML, an instance of MainClass is creating instances of subclass1 and subclass2 and -- because they are Sprites, which can have parent/child relationships -- making them its children. Unless you are messing around with the creationPolicy property, or one of your components is a navigator (like a ViewStack, Accordion, or TabNavigator that creates children as needed), all the children and granchildren get created when the app is created.

RE: [flexcoders] mxml components
First, there are classes and instances. When it matters, use these terms correctly. Second, call does not apply to a class, or even really an instance. An instantiated class stays instantiated untill all references to it are removed, and Garbage Collection has run and removed it. If this is not the answer, perhaps you can rephrase your question, without using the word call?

Re: [flexcoders] mxml components
it depends on references, not whether you use or not. so for example, if the code is like this: MainClass.mxml foo:MainClass foo:SubClass id=bl/ /foo:MainClass SubClass.mxml foo:SubClass foo:SubClass2a id='bla'/ /foo:SubClass they will live forever. But if you load them dynamically, it depends on where you keep the reference. If the reference is lost, it 'may' get removed by garbage collector. (can never be sure because by the nature you cannot control garbage collector). So it depends what you mean by call (calling a function or creating) and also the creation policy of the container class. One more thing to pay attention on memory manager is be careful with the event listener. For example When you write: A.addEventListener(fooEvent,B.onFooEvent); a reference from A to B is created, so there is nothing to keep A in the memory. If you pay attention on creation policy and addEventListener, you'll be fine. yigit Scott wrote: Ok, I’m trying to get a firm grasp on AS3 components/classes.

Now, use that value to select the associated node in your xml shows,

[flexcoders] simple SWF dynamic loading and control
Hi all,
I'm trying to do something quite simple, but i couldn't for many days...guess
should have asked for help before :(
I try to load some images from inside a SWF in order to use them as buttons.
I managed to load them, but i cannot control them, so they will just play,
cause i can't even tell them to stop.
I guess i have no idea how to do this...so my code might be completely wrong.
I wish to do this through MXML tag as much as possible...even i might use an
AS3 function on complete.
This is my code, i just try to make that loaded SWF to stop :(
Another question would be, how could I load that SWF movieclip dinamically, so
i could change SWF contents without change the flex files? (design will change
quite often while website online) I guess embedding it will just put content
inside flex and compile it, but thats not what i want.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: PropertyChangeEvent problems in ArrayCollection
Different data objects may set the oldValue/newValue correctly. I'm not sure what kind of generic object you are using for testing, but it may not be generating the info when some other kind of object (maybe a [Bindable] or [Managed] object will. If the item is a plain old Object, the DG does not generate oldValue/newValue info.

RE: [flexcoders] simple SWF dynamic loading and control
Check the forum archives. It depends on whether your SWF is an AS3 SWF or not.
The solution is different but possible either way.
If you set the source to another URL it will load it.
If you embed several SWFs you can simply refer to them because to embed several
you'll probably do
[Embed('foo.swf)]
Var foo:Class;

Subject: [flexcoders] simple SWF dynamic loading and control
Hi all,
I'm trying to do something quite simple, but i couldn't for many days...guess
should have asked for help before :(
I try to load some images from inside a SWF in order to use them as buttons.
I managed to load them, but i cannot control them, so they will just play,
cause i can't even tell them to stop.
I guess i have no idea how to do this...so my code might be completely wrong.
I wish to do this through MXML tag as much as possible...even i might use an
AS3 function on complete.
This is my code, i just try to make that loaded SWF to stop :(
Another question would be, how could I load that SWF movieclip dinamically, so
i could change SWF contents without change the flex files? (design will change
quite often while website online) I guess embedding it will just put content
inside flex and compile it, but thats not what i want.
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute
mx:Canvas x=341 y=159 width=200 height=232
mx:Image
id=bt_pirate
source=@Embed(source='../flash/nk_web.swf', symbol='abt_pirate')
x=84 y=35
scaleContent=true width=100% height=100%
horizontalAlign=center verticalAlign=bottom
complete={init_square(bt_pirate.content as MovieClip)}
/
mx:Script
![CDATA[
//import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public function init_square(sqimg:MovieClip):void {
sqimg.stop();
sqimg.scaleX=300;
bt_pirate.content.stop();
}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:Canvas
/mx:Application
could someone help me???

After few days of hard debugging, I sadly noted that Flex 3 preloader is completely broken while using # in the URL. It doesn't show at all. Does anyone have any workarounds as preloading 2Mb without preloader is actually real pain ? Thank you.
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Alternating colors for AdvancedDataGrid
Hello, I found a solution extending ADG. I'll post here if anyone need it
too.
Just override drawRowBackgrounds and use alternatingItemColors properties.
CODE:
override protected function drawRowBackgrounds():void
{
var rowBGs:Sprite = Sprite(listContent.getChildByName(rowBGs));
if (!rowBGs)
{
rowBGs = new FlexSprite();
rowBGs.mouseEnabled = false;
rowBGs.name = rowBGs;
listContent.addChildAt(rowBGs, 0);
}
var color:Object;
var depthColors:Boolean = false;
var colors:Array = getStyle(alternatingItemColors);
color = getStyle(backgroundColor);
if (!colors || colors.length == 0)
return;
StyleManager.getColorNames(colors);
var curRow:int = 0;
var i:int = 0;
var actualRow:int = verticalScrollPosition;
var n:int = listItems.length;
var alternateRoot:int = verticalScrollPosition;
while (curRow n)
{
if (listItems[curRow][0])
{
var d:int = getDepth(listItems[curRow][0].data);
if(d == 1){
alternateRoot++;
}
drawRowBackground(rowBGs, i++, rowInfo[curRow].y, rowInfo[curRow].height,
colors[alternateRoot % colors.length], actualRow);
}
else
{
drawRowBackground(rowBGs, i++, rowInfo[curRow].y, rowInfo[curRow].height,
uint(color), curRow);
}
curRow++;
actualRow++;
}
while (rowBGs.numChildren i)
{
rowBGs.removeChildAt(rowBGs.numChildren - 1);
}
}

[flexcoders] Pick right color for the chart
Hello all, I have a column chart in my flex application. Initially I left it with the default colors but did not like it so I put my own color; man it was worse Where can I find some good color combination that I can use for my chart? Is there any good examples on picking right colors? Regards
[flexcoders] Re: Centering Bar Chart labels vertically
Ok, so we're talking about a vertical axis. . * For a vertical axis, by default the labels are vertically aligned to the tick marks (center).For these, you can adjust the label position (up/down) slightly with the labelAlign property; on the axis tag. This still might not get you what you want though. Hard to tell without seeing an image. * For a horizontal axis, use the labelGap property on the axis tag to move the label down; from the axis line. * And, of course, you can always create your own axisRenderer. This can get a little dicey though. I'd try labelAlign before moving on to creating a custom axisRenderer. I agree, the chart framework is a substantial step in a positive direction. I think that Ely put it nicely here: http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/charts/easy-custom-charts/ http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/charts/easy-custom-charts/ -TH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Amy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tim Hoff TimHoff@ wrote: Are you talking about the axis renderer labels for a categoryField?
