[flexcoders] Sorting an XMLList on an attribute

[gaurav1146]

Hi,
 I am trying to sort an XMLList based on one of the attributes in the
XML node. On trying this I get the following error:

TypeError: Error #1089: Assignment to lists with more than one item is
not supported.

Instead of XMLList if I use XMLListCollection it works fine. The thing
is that I have used XMLList at lot of other places in my code as well
so I cannot easily switch to XMListCollection. I would be prefer a way
if I could sort the XMLList somwehow.

Following is the sample code that I tried for the sorting difference
between XMLList amd XMLListCollection:

[flexcoders] Parsing MultiLevel Array

[sudha_bsb]

Hi,

I have a requirement wherin I have to parse a multilevel array. 
Suppose we have an array like

   
 
 
   
   
 
 

   
   



Now, this array is a dataprovider for a component that basically 
creates a list of buttons. When an array object has children the 
component creates the children as well. 
My question is how do I let the component know that a particular 
object of its dataprovider has children? And how do I let it know 
what those children are? 

I do not have the option to convert the array into XML or XMLList and 
then parse it..I have to let the array remain as it is

Thanks & Regards,
Sudha. 

[flexcoders] Re: Checking if an object exists

[Rafael Faria]

For instance

parentApplication.appData['moduleParams'].table_name


'moduleParams' is an object as well. it might not exist, and
table_name might not exist... i need to test if table_name exists...

anything i put it returns

Error: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.
at...


i tried
if ((parentApplication.appData['moduleParams'] == null) ||
(!parentApplication.appData['moduleParams'].moduleFrom)) {
}

i tried

if ((!parentApplication.appData.hasOwnProperty('moduleParams')) ||
(!parentApplication.appData.hasOwnProperty('moduleParams').moduleFrom)) {
}

or

if ((!('moduleParams' in parentApplication.appData)) ||
(!('moduleFrom' in parentApplication.appData['moduleParams']))) {
}

same error...

anyone can help me how i would test if 

parentApplication.appData['moduleParams'].table_name
exists?

[flexcoders] Re: skinning and validation

[Tim Hoff]

Hi Toby,

For drawing the error border, flex uses the Focus Manager.  If you 
use a focusSkin, it lloks like it over-rides the focus rectangle 
drawn with the errorColor.  Try taking that skin out, to see if it 
comes back.  Don't know about the comboBox.  Have you verified that 
the validation failure is actually setting the errorString?  You can 
try this; to find out if it's a skin or logic problem:

RE: [flexcoders] Measurement and percentages (was measurement and template components)

[Alex Harui]

In theory, if measure() returns different numbers than the last time it
got called, invalidateDisplayList gets called and eventually you get
updateDisplayList and go through layout again.

 

Also, in theory, measuredMinWidth/measuredWidth (and heights) will be
different if you have % on reportChrome or not which might yield a clue.
Or the updateDL gets called a different number of times.  I don't know
what each of these levels have for base classes.  That might make a
difference as well.

 

If you build up a test case base on the base classes for these
components, maybe that should be posted so we can take a closer look.
Otherwise it points to your custom code.

Alex requested that I start a new thread to review. Here's the
relevant portion of the hierarchy (stated values are in both x and y
directions):

..PodChrome(n of these)
ReportModuleA (100%) (not a real module, just a VBox)

PodChrome and ReportModuleA are created in ActionScript at runtime.

TiledCanvas is supposed to have scrollbars. Tested in isolation (i.e.
with a bunch of buttons as children, some with minimums set, it does.
In the above hierarchy, If I remove the 100% from ReportChrome, it
does. But with the percentage sizing of ReportChrome, it doesn't.

It appears that all the measure() methods get called and return 500 or
more.
I noticed the following in Container.getScrollableRect(). Possibly
related?

// width/height can be NaN if using percentages and

if (!isNaN(child.width))
right = Math.max(right, child.x + child.width);
if (!isNaN(child.height))
bottom = Math.max(bottom, child.y + child.height);

I also notice some code in UIComponent (I think) that was calling
invalidateDisplayList() immediately after invalidateSize(). Do those

ReportModuleA needs to call invalidateDisplayList.

 

[flexcoders] dynamic remote objects

[Dan Vega]

I have a remote object that is very dynamic.The user is actually selecting
the source of the component and the method name. So how can I refer to the
remote objects methods dynamically?

ro[methodname].addEventListenter() ???

var ro:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject();
ro.destination = "ColdFusion";
ro.source = something.text
ro.METHODNAME.addEventListener("result", getListResultHandler);
ro.addEventListener("fault", faultHandler);

ro..METHODNAME(deptComboBox.selectedItem.data);

Thank You

[flexcoders] skinning and validation

[Toby Tremayne]

Hi all,

	I've googled but every time I find someone with the same problem the  
questions seem to go unanswered...


	I have skins applied to a flex app and I'm having an issue where for  
most elements the red border doesn't show up when validation fails.   
For example, I have this in my css file:


TextInput
{
	borderSkin: Embed(source="TextInput.swf",  
symbol="TextInput_borderSkin");

focusSkin: Embed(source="TextInput.swf", symbol="TextInput_focusSkin");
}
ComboBox
{
	disabledSkin: Embed(source="ComboBox.swf",  
symbol="ComboBox_disabledSkin");

downSkin: Embed(source="ComboBox.swf", symbol="ComboBox_downSkin");
	editableDisabledSkin: Embed(source="ComboBox.swf",  
symbol="ComboBox_editableDisabledSkin");
	editableDownSkin: Embed(source="ComboBox.swf",  
symbol="ComboBox_editableDownSkin");
	editableOverSkin: Embed(source="ComboBox.swf",  
symbol="ComboBox_editableOverSkin");
	editableUpSkin: Embed(source="ComboBox.swf",  
symbol="ComboBox_editableUpSkin");

overSkin: Embed(source="ComboBox.swf", symbol="ComboBox_overSkin");
upSkin: Embed(source="ComboBox.swf", symbol="ComboBox_upSkin");
}

And neither combobox nor textinput show the red validation border when  
validation fails.  What am I missing?  Is there a way to specify an  
error border skin or something?  Or should there be some way in the  
skin file to add an error border?

[flexcoders] Refreshing data in dataGrid

[Joshua Jackson]

Dear all,

I've got a list of data displayed in a datagrid where the DataProvider
is from Spring as the backend. Now everytime I add, update or delete
data, it doesn't refresh the datagrid. How do I do this in Flex?
I've tried doing 
- dataProvider.refresh();
- dataGrid.dataProvider.dispatchEvent(new
CollectionEvent(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE));

But none of them works. Is there a special treatment is the data
provider is from a database? Please give me some hints on this.

Many thanks

[flexcoders] Re: Custom Context Menu in flex app

[kroghadam]

I think the problem here is that you are using the same name for your
menu item as one of the built in menu items. These include
forwardAndBack, loop, play, print, quality, rewind, save and zoom. Set
the label of your menu items to anything but these and it should work.

[flexcoders] Flash 9 localhost socket connection on Windows

[Darren Cook]

Stumped again. I've a php socket server, and a flash 9/AS3 swf app. And
I'm testing both on both linux and Windows. The swf is trusted (on both
linux and windows)(See this blog entry on trusting swfs.).

The problem is that the flash 9 swf on windows cannot properly connect
to the php socket server on windows. What is stumping me is that every
other combination works:
Flash 9 from win to linux server: OK
Flash 9 from linux to win server: OK
Flash 9 from linux to linux server (localhost): OK

I also have an old Flash 8/AS2 version of the app, on windows. It can
connect to windows localhost server okay. Telnet from either windows
(localhost) and linux can both connect to the windows server OK too.
In other words only the configuration required for production-use
(windows server with flash 9 on same windows machine) does not work.
Insert a really juicy swear word here.

What is the problem behaviour? In the flash client it says it has
connected properly. No other messages. On the server side it says
nothing; only when I kill the flash client do I get a bunch of log entries:
Client connected
Sending data
ERROR: failed socket_read from client so closing socket. Last socket
error: An established connection was aborted by the software in your
host machine.
Client disconnect: read failed

While flash is running netstat shows the connection as "ESTABLISHED".

Googling says it is the firewall or virus scanner in the way. I've now
switched off everything, and the problem remains. But I don't think it
could be that anyway, because connections from Flash 8 and telnet work.

It has to be something specific to Flash 9 on windows, when connecting
to a windows server (or when connecting to localhost).

Anyone else seen something like this? Thanks in advance!

Darren

P.S. This mysql bug report says pooling caused it:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=6634
But I'm not doing anything sophisticated like that.

[flexcoders] Measurement and percentages (was measurement and template components)

[Richard Rodseth]

Alex requested that I start a new thread to review. Here's the
relevant portion of the hierarchy  (stated values are in both x and y
directions):

TiledCanvas (100%)
..PodChrome(n of these)
ReportModuleA (100%) (not a real module, just a VBox)
..ReportChrome (100%)
ReportA (100%, minimum 500)
..Grid

PodChrome and ReportModuleA are created in ActionScript at runtime.

TiledCanvas is supposed to have scrollbars. Tested in isolation (i.e.
with a bunch of buttons as children, some with minimums set, it does.
In the above hierarchy, If I remove the 100% from ReportChrome, it
does. But with the percentage sizing of ReportChrome, it doesn't.

It appears that all the measure() methods get called and return 500 or more.
I noticed the following in Container.getScrollableRect(). Possibly related?

// width/height can be NaN if using percentages and
// hasn't been layed out yet.
if (!isNaN(child.width))
right = Math.max(right, child.x + child.width);
if (!isNaN(child.height))
bottom = Math.max(bottom, child.y + child.height);

I also notice some code in UIComponent (I think) that was calling
invalidateDisplayList() immediately after invalidateSize(). Do those
need to be paired? Perhaps my code which constructs PodChrome and
ReportModuleA needs to call invalidateDisplayList.

[flexcoders] Re: Mouse DOUBLE_CLICK not fired in Browser but in AIR

Not so if you add the drag handling code as in my original example:

  var ds:DragSource = new DragSource();
  DragManager.doDrag(this, ds, event);

Works in the AIR version.

Read the white paper on Player 9 security.  Use relative paths so you
can keep the helper SWF alongside your main SWF whether local or on
server,

 

Other than that, Security is a pain when you've locked your keys in the
car, but not when someone is trying to steal it.

Subject: [flexcoders] MouseEvent's not firing

 

Hi Everyone,

 

I got a strange problem which i can't really understand,

i loaded an .swf through the loader, initialised it as an movieclip,
then 

initialised objects in it's library as classes to generate some
navigation items, 

put those itmes in an holder, added that holder to stage. it looks all
nice and 

how it's suppose to look like.

 

But, when i add an MouseEvent Listener to the holder object, those
mouseevents 

are never fired (?!?) and i clearly don't know why, since this is the
first time i 

run into such problem, can anyone help me out?

 

navHolder = new Sprite;

navHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, navOnMouseOver);

navHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, navOnMouseOut);

navHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navOnMouseClick);

addChild(navHolder);

 

this code should work out of the box, but it does not :|

and i can't trace the issue, if i put the eventlisteners directly 

on stage, the same events are fired on mouse actions..

 

any tips would be great,

 

chee! rs,

RE: [flexcoders] Custom Context Menu in flex app

Looks ok to me.  Make sure you're right clicking on the app and not
something that has its own context menu

I am trying to add a custom context menu in my flex app. I am writing
below code in a method which i am calling on applicationComplete event
of the main application.

//
customMenu = new ContextMenu();
var saveItem:ContextMenuItem = new
ContextMenuItem("Save",true,true,true);
saveItem.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT,
doSaveCommand);
customMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
customMenu.customItems.push(saveItem);
Application.application.contextMenu = customMenu;

//

I am able to hide the default menu items when using the
customMenu.hideBuiltInItems(); code, but the custom 'Save' item is not
getting added.

What could be wrong?

Thnx

Re: [flexcoders] Execute click programmatically

[yigit]

use:
//dg is the id of the datagrid object
dg.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent());

I'm not sure for the code, just written here. But the logic is
dispatching the event on behalf of the datagrid.

I remember using the same approach before, so it should work.

Re: [flexcoders] Execute click programmatically

[Daniel Gold]

are you using the MouseEvent in the event handler? If not, default that
parameter and just call the function directly

private function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent=null):void
{
}

private function otherFunction():void
{
clickHandler();
}

If I have a click listener on DG's cell can I execute cell's click 
programmatically, something like:

Hi,

Since those are flash charts, you could probably use the swfLoader

I think it's a little of both, and I do have some enhancement requests 
stored up, but I haven't bitten the bullet and dived into the jira 
system :-).

I can at least think of one place where the Framework is lacking, but I 
suspect Gumbo may already be addressing it.  That place is where we 
have all these great building blocks like the container class, but 
those classes are too "heavy" for use as itemRenderers without a big 
performance hit.  So nearly all developers who are working with 
itemRenderers wind up rebuilding a "light" version of the containers 
starting with UIComponent.

I was really pleased to see that Gumbo is addressing the issue of how 
difficult it can be to come to grips with the component life cycle.  
One thing that I sometimes miss about Authorware is that in Authorware 
you can actually watch the screen draw as various logic executes while 
you're developing.  I think if you could see the screen draw as the 
logic ran in debug mode in Flex that would help in understanding what 
is happening when.  I know that on my husband's mac, the screen isn't 
totally white when he hits a breakpoint like it is on my PC, but I am 
not sure how real time what he sees is.

Thanks :-)

[flexcoders] Height Question

[tchredeemed]

Ok, I have two VBoxes, side by side, that need to both be the height
of the biggest of the two (children added dynamically on show).

I do it this way:
leftVBox.minHeight = rightVBox.height;
rightVBox.minHeight = leftVBox.height;

(if this is a stupid way to do it, let me know).

The problem is this.

When I add the children, and switch view states, I remove the children.

If I come back to that page, and add a different set of children, I
only want them to be the biggest they have to be, but I cannot get
them to resize back down to the right height, they hold the height of
the biggest set of children that has been added since launch time.

Any ideas?

Sorry about the indenting. I keep forgetting to put periods in. It's
like this

TiledCanvas
..PodChrome
ReportModuleA (not a real module, just a VBox)
..ReportChrome
ReportA
..Grid

I also apologize for giving incorrect information earlier. The
measure() methods *are* all getting called and the values look right.
i.e. if I set ReportA to minimum 500x500 that shows up all the way up
the hierarchy. Yet, if I set ReportChrome to 100%/100% the scroll bars
don't appear, but if I don't do that, they do. Very puzzling. My
theory about parentApplication is probably wrong, because I set a
break in UIComponent.get parentApplication and it only got called when
showing a progress window.
So now I am setting break points in
Container.createScrollbarsIfNeeded, but in the case where the
percentages are set, it doesn't get to the needVertical=true part.
I'll keep digging, but any suggestions for further key logic points to
check would be appreciated. I assume getScrollableRect() is returning
a different value, but I can't imagine why that would be.

[flexcoders] Event for shift-click

[Kevin Ford]

I'm running into a bit of frustration on an AdvancedDataGrid control with
allowMultipleSelection turned on. I currently fire-off a function on the
ADG's change event and this works perfectly fine if I single-click or
control-click on a row in the control, but not if I shift-click. I've tried
triggering on "change", "itemClick", and "click" events and none seem to
trigger when doing a straight shift-click selection. If I do a shift-click
to highlight several rows, then do a control-click to highlight another then
everything highlighted does get recognized. Is there a specific event that I
can trigger on for shift-click selections?
Without showing too much of the code, here's my definition for the ADG...

 minWidth/Height on ReportA or its children, or they shrink to nothing.

 I'm not sure I understand this - I would expect that the measured

 of a Canvas or subclass thereof (ReportChrome in this case) would be
 the maximum of the measured children or the specified container
 percentage.

No, it's a separate file. It used to be available from Adobe, but is not
any longer: there are still Flex 2 Charting links on Adobe's web site,
but they all point to FB3Pro...

This would also happen if today was the 31st and you changed to a month
that had 30 or 28 days.

What you have shown is that if you use invalid data (February 29th
of a non leap year) you get bad results. What I showed (February 3rd

results.

I truly believe this is a bug.

RE: [flexcoders] MouseEvent's not firing

[Alex Harui]

I'm not sure I understand your configuration.  You'll have to read up on
Flash Security.

 

If you own both domains, you can give one domain permission to use the
other via crossdomain.xml.  If you can't get permission to access the
other domain's swf from your domain, you'll have to try to break down
the security barrier which will only be possible by cooperation from
that other SWF.

Dear Alex,

 

I just realised that the problem is actually cause of casting an class
from an loaded .swf,

but this .swf is actually an flash9 swf's, but it's loaded from an
different domain then the root

.swf.. hmm strange, i didnt knew that :|

 

I'm using the Bulk-Loader class to load some assets needed to built my
Gui, and then i initialize

those loaded objects as classes, and then i generate the gui based on
that classes, so the problem

is that i load the .swf from an different domain then the root .swf, i
actually upped the assets movie

only for testing, can you give me some advice how to make this the right
way?

 

thanks for your answer!

Patrick

Hi Everyone,

 

I got a s! trange problem which i can't really understand,

i loaded an .swf through the loader, initialised it as an movieclip,
then 

initialised objects in it's library as classes to generate some
navigation items, 

put those itmes in an holder, added that holder to stage. it looks all
nice and 

! how it's suppose to look like.

 

But, when i add an MouseEvent Listener to the holder object, those
mouseevents 

are never fired (?!?) and i clearly don't know why, since this is the
first time i 

run into such problem, can anyone help me out?

 

navHolder = new Sprite;

navHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, navOnMouseOver);

navHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, navOnMouseOut);

navHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navOnMouseClick);

addChild(navHolder);

 

this code should work out of the box, but it does not :|

and i can't trace the issue, if i put the eventlisteners directly 

on stage, the same events are fired on mouse actions..

 

any tips would be great,

 

chee! rs,

Your code leads to the same invalid value.

 

When you don't pass any arguments to the Date constructor, you get a
Date representing "right now", so 'date' is 29 because today is the
29th. When you then set the fullYear to 1987 and then month to 1
(February), you get the invalid date Feburary 29, 1987 which is
intepreted as March 1, 1987. You then set the 'date' to 3 and get March
3, 1987.

 

In more detail, here is how I think the Player is executing your code on
July 29, 2008 (today):

 

var d:Date = new Date;

   // d represents July 29, 2008

   // d.fullYear is 2008

   // d.month is 6 (July)

   // d.date is 29



d.fullYear = 1987;

   // d represents July 29, 1987

   // d.fullYear is 1987

   // d.month is 6 (July)

   // d.date is 29
   
d.month = 1; // (February)
   // d represents February 29, 1987 -- OOPS!  This is invalid but
"equivalent" to March 1, 1987, so now

   // d.fullYear is 1987

   // d.month is 2 (March)

   // d.date is 1



d.date = 3;
   // d represents March 3, 1987

   // d.fullYear is 1987

   // d.month is 2 (March)

   // d.date is 3



Please go ahead and file a bug against Flex and we'll transfer it into
the Player team's bugbase for them to determine whether this behavior is

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 2.01 date problem

[Tim Hoff]

Yes, but what Matt and Gordon are saying is if you're going to create a
date like this (adjust, instead of construct all at once), you may run
into a leap year issue.

var dtTest:Date = new Date - dtTest.toDateString()=Tue Jul 29 2008
dtTest.fullYear = 1987 - dtTest.toDateString()=Wed Jul 29 1987
dtTest.month = 1 - dtTest.toDateString()=Sun Mar 1 1987 - Here's where
the month rolled because there is no Feb 29th in 1987.
dtTest.date = 3 - dtTest.toDateString()=Tue Mar 3 1987

[flexcoders] Custom Context Menu in flex app

[vipinck]

I am trying to add a custom context menu in my flex app. I am writing
below code in a method which i am calling on applicationComplete event
of the main application.

//
customMenu = new ContextMenu();
var saveItem:ContextMenuItem = new
ContextMenuItem("Save",true,true,true);
saveItem.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT,
doSaveCommand);
customMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
customMenu.customItems.push(saveItem);
Application.application.contextMenu = customMenu;

//

I am able to hide the default menu items when using the
customMenu.hideBuiltInItems(); code, but the custom 'Save' item is not
getting added.

What could be wrong?

Thnx
Vipin 

[flexcoders] Re: Flex 2.01 date problem

[aceoohay]

What you have shown is that if you use invalid data (February 29th 
of a non leap year) you get bad results. What I showed (February 3rd 
of a non leap year) was that if I use valid data I get invalid 
results.

I truly believe this is a bug.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 2.01 date problem

[Gordon Smith]

A simpler test is

 

var d:Date = new Date(1987, 1, 29);
trace(d);

 

This traces "Sun Mar 1 00:00:00 GMT-0800 1987", presumably because 1987
didn't have a February 29. So I doubt waht you're seeing is a bug. (I'd
have to check the Ecmascript spec to say for sure.) But it means that
using Date correctly is much trickier than I ever realized!

Try setting the date before you set the month? I think setting the month
while the current day is later than 28 is going to roll the month on you
potentially? Just by reording that I got it to work. When I tried to set
the Date's time to 0 to avoid it using the current date that didn't seem

It does feel like an odd error though. Might be worth filing a Flash

Ok, no worries.  Take 2:

import mx.controls.listClasses.IListItemRenderer;

private function scrollToListItem( index : Number )
{
  myList.scrollToIndex(index);
  myList.selectedIndex = index;



  var itemRenderer:IListItemRenderer =
myList.indexToItemRenderer(index);



  var pt:Point = new Point(itemRenderer.x, itemRenderer.y);
  pt = itemRenderer.localToGlobal(pt);
  Alert.show(pt.y.toString());
}

[flexcoders] Getting current URL from iFram

[flexawesome]

Hey there,

I have a problem of getting URL address from iFrame,

I am using iFrame to link the Flex main.html ( generated by Flex ), I 
am unable to use the AS to get the parent URL address.

ExternalInterface.call( "window.location.href.toString" );

Do you know how to retrieve the parent URL ( index.html ) from iFrame?

--index.html
| ( uses iFrame to link main.html page )
|
   -main.html
   |
   |
  @embedded Flex file

Thank you

RE: [flexcoders] Re: how to get the y position of item in list

[Tracy Spratt]

I am a bit nervous about your question, and why you want to do that.

 

First, do you understand why "... rowInfo[25] it throws an error."?

 

While directly accessing the visual elements of a data-driven control is
sometimes valid, it is more often due to a misunderstanding of the way
those controls work.

 

Now, if you set verticalScrollPosition = 25, then the row you want will
be in the first renderer instance and you could probably figure out the
location from that.

 

Tracy

[flexcoders] Flex 2.01 date problem

[aceoohay]

The following code yields unexpected results on a date;

var dtTest:Date = new Date;
dtTest.fullYear = 1987;
dtTest.month = 1;
dtTest.date = 3;
trace('dtTest.toDateString()=' + 
dtTest.toDateString());

The result is;

dtTest.toDateString()=Tue Mar 3 1987

It is my understanding that this should be February not March. What am 
I doing wrong? or is there a bug in the Date object?

Re: [flexcoders] MouseEvent's not firing

[Patrick J. Jankun]

Dear Alex,

I just realised that the problem is actually cause of casting an class  
from an loaded .swf,
but this .swf is actually an flash9 swf's, but it's loaded from an  
different domain then the root

.swf.. hmm strange, i didnt knew that :|

I'm using the Bulk-Loader class to load some assets needed to built my  
Gui, and then i initialize
those loaded objects as classes, and then i generate the gui based on  
that classes, so the problem
is that i load the .swf from an different domain then the root .swf, i  
actually upped the assets movie
only for testing, can you give me some advice how to make this the  
right way?


thanks for your answer!

Hi Everyone,



I got a strange problem which i can't really understand,

i loaded an .swf through the loader, initialised it as an movieclip,  
then


initialised objects in it's library as classes to generate some  
navigation items,


put those itmes in an holder, added that holder to stage. it looks  
all nice and


how it's suppose to look like.



But, when i add an MouseEvent Listener to the holder object, those  
mouseevents


are never fired (?!?) and i clearly don't know why, since this is  
the first time i


run into such problem, can anyone help me out?



navHolder = new Sprite;

navHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, navOnMouseOver);

navHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, navOnMouseOut);

navHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navOnMouseClick);

addChild(navHolder);



this code should work out of the box, but it does not :|

and i can't trace the issue, if i put the eventlisteners directly

on stage, the same events are fired on mouse actions..



any tips would be great,



chee! rs,

You know that any indenting you do in the hierarchy doesn't come through
email, right?  The whole list is flat.

 

If a measure() method does not get called then either nobody called
invalidateSize() on it (or caused it to be called via some deeper
invalidation), or it has fixed width/height and doesn't need to be
measured.

Actually, I take it back. Only the pseudo-module names are determined

Subject: [flexcoders] MouseEvent's not firing

 

Hi Everyone,

 

I got a strange problem which i can't really understand,

i loaded an .swf through the loader, initialised it as an movieclip,
then 

initialised objects in it's library as classes to generate some
navigation items, 

put those itmes in an holder, added that holder to stage. it looks all
nice and 

how it's suppose to look like.

 

But, when i add an MouseEvent Listener to the holder object, those
mouseevents 

are never fired (?!?) and i clearly don't know why, since this is the
first time i 

run into such problem, can anyone help me out?

 

navHolder = new Sprite;

navHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, navOnMouseOver);

navHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, navOnMouseOut);

navHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navOnMouseClick);

addChild(navHolder);

 

this code should work out of the box, but it does not :|

and i can't trace the issue, if i put the eventlisteners directly 

on stage, the same events are fired on mouse actions..

 

any tips would be great,

 

chee! rs,

Patrick

Hi Dan,

What do you mean by rawChildren?

Here you can see my whole function:

private function initNav() : void {
navHolder = new Sprite;
navHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, navOnMouseOver);
navHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, navOnMouseOut);
navHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navOnMouseClick);
navHolder.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, navOnMouseOut);

for (var i : int = 0;i < navItemsTxt.length;i++) {
var nav_item : MovieClip = new navItem as MovieClip;

nav_item.tf.text = navItemsTxt[i];
nav_item.tf.selectable = false;

nav_item.bg.alpha = .2;

nav_item.y += (nav_item.height + vertGap) * i;

navHolder.addChild(nav_item);
}

navHolder.x = 20;
navHolder.y = stage.stageHeight - navHolder.height - 20;

stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, stageResized);
addChild(navHolder);
}

[Tim Hoff]

Here's one way.   If you're scrolling to the index and setting the
currentItem, you an use this code with the change event:

private function onItemClick(event:ListEvent):void
{
 var pt:Point = new Point(event.itemRenderer.x,
event.itemRenderer.y);
 pt = event.currentTarget.localToGlobal(pt);
 Alert.show(pt.y.toString());

Amy, do you think that your use cases are simply different from those of
most Flex developers? Or do you think that the Flex framework is failing
to anticipate the use cases of most Flex developers? If it's the latter,
we need to try to do a better job with Gumbo and we need folks to file
enhancement requests to help us.

Here's how I estimate time in Flex.

I take how long I think it will take and multiply that by 3. Usually, 
I will then only be 50% of how long it actually took.

The issue with Flex is that you have to pull together a ton of concepts 
that, even if you understand them in other venues, don't quite work 
that way in Flex. So you need to figure in a _lot_ of research time to 
understand what is going on. Then, even if you _do_ your homework, 
you'll find that quite a few features don't work the way that a 
reasonable person's interpretation of the docs suggest they would.

Finally, if you're like me, and you're in the 20% of cases the Flex 
developers didn't plan for 90% of the time, be prepared to rewrite or 
at least extend virtually everything before you can use it :-).

[flexcoders] how to get the y position of item in list

[blc187]

Is there a way to get the y position of a row in a list or datagrid?

I noticed that list has a protected var rowInfo that holds an array of 
ListRowInfo objects with x and y properties.
>From the list class I could do rowInfo[rowNumber].y but am trying to 
get the y value from outside the list though...

Also, rowInfo only holds info for the visible rows.
For example, I have a list with 65 items, 20 of which are shown before 
the scrollbar shows up.

I want to get rowInfo[5], fine.
I want to get rowInfo[25] it throws an error.

So I need to scrollToIndex(25) but then I don't know which entry in 
rowInfo corresponds to my selected item.

As a related note, if you're automating a flex3 build (mxmlc) with

doesn't have the pro version installed.

/libs/datavisualization.swc (add library path)

Actually, I take it back. Only the pseudo-module names are determined

Good suggestion. For good measure (groan) I added a few overrides of
measure() that call super, that I could set breakpoints in.
Recall that the hierarchy is like this:

TiledCanvas
  PodChrome
ReportModuleA (not a real module, just a VBox)
  ReportChrome
ReportA
  Grid

I notice that ReportModuleA.measure() does not get called. I also
noticed in the debugger that ReportModuleA.parentApplication is not
set (the debugger gives a 1009 error) when you select that property).
Seems suspect, doesn't it?

ReportModuleA and PodChrome are instantiated in ActionScript, and
ReportModuleA is actually instantiated in the service layer via a
static method in its MXML file. Then a parent of TiledCanvas observes
a list of the pseudo-modules, wraps them in chrome and adds them to
the TiledCanvas. Seemed reasonable at the time.

When an exception is thrown, all functions in the call stack exit
immediately until someone catches the exception.  If nobody catches,
you'll get an RTE dialog in the debugger player.

 

You have to decide where to catch it and how to deal with the fact that
some code probably didn't run because of the exception.

RE: [flexcoders] Setting the dataGrid column's font and leaving the header alone?

I think you have to make a custom header renderer that forces its font
family back to something you want.

So, today I found a type128 barcode font which fits the purposes of
the application we're developing quite nicely. However I've hit a bit
of a snag. When the font family of a dataGrid column is set, it sets
both the font of the column's items as well as the column header. This
would be fine if the font displayed normal letters other than the
usual Verdana, but when its barcodes...

Essentially I want to know if it is possible to set the font of the
column's items separately from the header itself. Is this possible?

 

RE: [flexcoders] TextArea popup editor in DataGrid

[Alex Harui]

focusOutHandler should have called itemRendererContains with your custom
class and that textfield and the owner chain should have gotten from the
textfield to the custom class.  It shouldn't matter what the parent is,
you want it to be the systemManager.  It should be the fifth "if"
statement

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] TextArea popup editor in DataGrid

 

I've tried using a popup TextArea but I'm having real problems trying to
get it to work as an item editor
within a datagrid.

My business requirements are

- someone can click in the DG cell to start editing. If the cell uses a
TextArea control, they should get popup-like TA that extends across rows
to enter longer blocks of text
- the user can enter data in any text-based editable cell without using
a mouse (but they can use a mouse if they want to)
- someone can tab across a row in the DG; our DG needs to move from one
editable cell to the next (and go to next editable row if they tab out
of the last editable cell in a row)
- the user can use shift-tab to go to previous editable cell
- the user can use ENTER to finish the edit and save the row
- the user can use ESCAPE to cancel the edit

So I've already got all of the keyboard behavior working with a
TextField controls. It also works if I use a simple TextArea as the item
editor (but see if the beginning of the thread for my problem with a
simple TextArea).  

However, when I open the TextArea with a PopUpManager I'm having
problems. My custom item editor is composed of a Canvas:

public class PopUpTextArea extends Canvas 
implements IDropInListItemRenderer, IFocusManagerComponent

On creationComplete, the editor creates a new instance of TextArea, and
uses PopUpManager to open it.

_popup = new TextArea();
_popup.width= this.width;
_popup.height= EDIT_HEIGHT;
_popup.text = this._text;
_popup.owner = this;

PopUpManager.addPopUp(_popup, this, false);
PopUpManager.bringToFront(_popup);

But ...

If I try to programmatically set focus on the popup, the DG crashes.
Apparently, it's getting wrapped around a pole somehow because setting
focus
on the popup triggers an item-edit-end.  If I click in the TA, it either
(A) goes in a little circle - item-edit-end is called because the Canvas
losses focus, so it
closes the TA, but the editedItemPosition doesn't move, so it creates a
new instance of the editor which opens the popup, or (B) it just closes
the item-editor
because the item-editor lost focus

I also tried to capture keystrokes on the Canvas and pass them to the
TA, that didn't work either. But even if it did work, the user still
needs the ability
to use the mouse if they want to.

So is it possible to use a TextArea in a PopUp as an item editor in a
DataGrid?

How will you handle the area at the bottom of the DG?  If I click the
last row, should the TA extend two rows below the DG?

[flexcoders] Setting the dataGrid column's font and leaving the header alone?

[bredwards358]

So, today I found a type128 barcode font which fits the purposes of
the application we're developing quite nicely. However I've hit a bit
of a snag. When the font family of a dataGrid column is set, it sets
both the font of the column's items as well as the column header. This
would be fine if the font displayed normal letters other than the
usual Verdana, but when its barcodes...

Essentially I want to know if it is possible to set the font of the
column's items separately from the header itself. Is this possible?

Re: [flexcoders] TextArea popup editor in DataGrid

[Glenn Jones]

I trapped in DataGrid.itemEditorFocusOutHandler() - the chain of 'owner'
values for event.relatedObject
does goes back to the grid, but the chain of 'parent' values does not.

The event.relatedObject is type UITTextField  The owner & parent of
UITextField is an instance of TextArea.
This is the instance managed by PopUpManager. The TextArea.owner =
myCustomClass (the item editor instance),
but TextArea.parent is an instance of myApp_mx_managers_SystemManager.

I tried calling addChild() with the popup TextArea instance, but it really

This callback takes a LineSeriesSegment I think. What I want to do is
pass more information about the chart to it, as in

lineSegmentRenderer="myLineRenderer('mySeries','var1', 'var2')" 

and I expected this error:

Is there a way of doing this? TIA,

[flexcoders] Re: mxml components

[Michael VanDaniker]

The import statement does not create instances.  It just makes a class
available to another class so it can use its methods and create
instances of it.  You don't need an import statement if the class you
want to import is in the same package as the class you are referencing
it from. You can import an entire package by using the wildcard
character (import mx.controls.*).

You create instances by using the new operator. When you declare an
object in MXML that tag is compiled into a block of Actionscript that
contains the new operator.

It is also highly dependant on the scope of the project.  For instance  
we are building an online kids portal with 4 mini games, avatar

custom AS components, skins etc and we have 4 designers and 1  
programmer (me) going at it pretty solidly for 2.5 months.  This is  
also our first Flex project so learning curves are all over the place

That helps a little; thanks.

 

Based on how you are describing the instances, my issue may be with the 
debugger and variable scope within the debugger.

 

I'm talking about my instances instead of flex instances in my example.  I'm 
trying to figure out how code is initialized to understand where I should 
separate code into its own class.

 

My first piece of code is a login routine that authenticates against a remote 
object (coldfusion).

 

I've got the class structured like this:

 

Login.mxml

|

|---loginform.mxml

|

|---registrationform.mxml

|

|---forgotpassword.mxml

 

The login.mxml class states call each of the other form.mxml files under it.  
Are these initialized when the state changes to include that class?  Or are 
they created when the application initialized?  Then also, are the instances 
destroyed or are they persistent (data still lives in them) when the login.mxml 
class changes states say from registrationform to loginform?

 

Thanks much!

> all classes are created when the application is started

 

AS3 classes get initialized -- meaning that their static variables get set and 
their static methods get executed -- in a lazy fashion, as they are used. If 
you have bytecode for a class in your SWF and that class doesn't get used by 
other code, that class will never get initialized.

 

On the other hand, *instances* of DisplayObject classes get created "top down" 
when you use MXML. The Player automatically creates an instance of 
SystemManager. The instance of SystemManager automatically creates an instance 
of MainClass as its child. The instance of MainClass creates Class2 as its 
child. Etc. MXML, with its tags nested inside other tags, is essentially 
shorthand. For example,

 



 

is basically shorthand for

 

public var b:Button;

...

// inside some method:

b = new Button();

b.label = "OK";

addChild(b);

 

It sounds like you might want to experiment with dynamically creating class 
instances of DisplayObjects like this with 'new' -- and attaching them to 
parents with addChild() and detatching them with removeChild() -- in order to 
have more of a correspondence with what you're familiar with, namely C++. It 
might be that the MXML syntax, which hides the instantiation details, is 
confusing you.

I think you mean that you would create the instances you wanted by using the 
'new' operator, which invokes the class's constructor.

There are no header files in AS3. Instead of 'include'ing a header file, you 
import a class. But if something is private you can't access it from any other 
class.

A C++ destructor doesn't shut a class down; it gets called when an *instance* 
is freed with the 'delete' operator. You don't have to delete instances in AS3 
because they get "garbage collected". Periodically the runtime determines 
whether there are any references to an instance. If not, it frees it. There is 
no method similar to a destructor that gets called when this happens.

 

> I've gotten confused on how long those class instances live and when exactly 
> they are initialized. 

 

In the case you're describing, they live until you quit the app. If you did 
something like use removeChild() to detach the instance of Class3 from the 
instance of Class2, then the instances of Class3 and Class4 would become 
subject to garbage collection. (Which doesn't necessarily ensure that they'll 
actually get garbage collected unless the Player decides it is running low on 
memory.) They were initialized by methods of framework core classes, such as 
Container and SystemManager, in the top-down order that I previously described.

I'm not clear on  what you're seeing, but it sounds like you're misinterpreting 
it.

[flexcoders] Stopping sound at certain position

[Mark Carter]

Ok, I must be missing something obvious here, but here goes...

I want to be able to play a sound from one position to another. The first
bit is easy because the play() method takes a position. But how about
automatically stopping the sound playback at another position?

Suppose I want to play an mp3 from position 2 to position 3...

Ideally, I want to add an event listener to when the soundchannel hits the
3 position so that I can then invoke the stop() method. But it looks
like this is not possible.

Another option might be to use the Timer class. But what if the mp3 file has
been played back slower than realtime (network issues)...?

[flexcoders] Re: Mouse DOUBLE_CLICK not fired in Browser but in AIR

[valdhor]

Given the following:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute" creationComplete="creationCompleteHandler()">
 
 
 
 
 
 


I get the following output if I double click the button:

onMouseDown
onMouseClick
onMouseDown
onMouseDblClick

[flexcoders] Re: How long to build a Flex app....

[Jason B]

It really depends on the flex coder since each coder could take longer
depending on thier understanding of the project and database functions
etc...and whether or not they are building the middleware code too?
We have an app with about 30 tabs and over 600 objects total on the
flex code, and about 1400 lines in mxml and 3500 lines in action script.
It took me about 1 month and im the only developer and im also
developing the middleware and database writes with php too.
The more you do the more you learn and faster too.

[flexcoders] Hotkey Class type variable for certain labels

[Jason B]

I've got several labels which shouldnt be shown on screen but if a
user hits a hotkey it would be nice to show them, what im wondering...
Is there a way to tag these items with a class like in Html so i can
have a function trigger the visible field on and off.

I know i can reference the ID but I was wondering if theres a class
like also available then i wouldnt have to reference every id flag for
all objects which are about 500 or so.
