[flexcoders] DataGrid horizontal ScrollBar not shown properly

2008-07-30 Thread rleuthold

Hi,

I'm having a very wide DataGrid ( approx 4000px ).

I'm setting the scroll policies to on. But the horizontal scroll bar is not 
shown properly. It 
doesn't show the right end and arrow of the scroll bar, so the user is never 
able to see the 
columns all to the right in the grid.

It functions very well, with a DataGrid which is around 2000px wide. Does 
anybody know if 
there is a limit for the width of a component to show the scroll bars propely ?

Thank's

[flexcoders] Best event to listen for when ViewStack child becomes active?

2008-07-30 Thread Cameron Childress

What's the best event to listen for when a *specific* child of a
ViewStack becomes active?  I'd like to set some defaults on a specific
child each time it becomes active (not just the first time, and not
just when it is created) and can't seem to find the right combination.
 I'm using a fairly common pattern to change the viewstack...

private function getView(i:int): Container {
if (i == VIEW_MAIN) {
// can't fire event here, main doesn't exist yet!
return main;
} else {
return login;
}
}

mx:ViewStack selectedChild={ getView( viewState ) } 
view:Login id=login mysteryEventToListenFor=???/
view:Main  id=main /
/mx/ViewStack

Advice would be appreciated...

Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Flash 9 localhost socket connection on Windows

2008-07-30 Thread Darren Cook

 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:
 ...
 ERROR: failed socket_read from client so closing socket. Last socket
 error: An established connection was aborted by the software in your
 host machine.

Additional information: it doesn't time-out even if left for 15m. When I
then kill the flash client the server finally notices/accepts/completes
the connection. So, I think the above error is a red-herring. I.e.:
 1. I kill flash client
 2. php accepts connection and tries to send data
 3. It fails (because the flash client has just disappeared!)

Something changed between Flash 8 and Flash 9 in the way that sockets
work. Does that ring any bells with anyone? It only affects windows, not
linux. Carriage-returns?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: skinning and validation

2008-07-30 Thread Toby Tremayne


Hi Tim,

	On the text field if I remove the focusSkin yes, it then uses the red  
border as it should.  But on the combo box and numeric stepper I can  
confirm that the validation is working fine - when I mouse over the  
field it still brings up the red tooltip to the right hand side, it's  
just not giving me the outline on the control itself.  And importantly  
you can see from the css below that my combo box doesn't even have a  
focusskin specified.


	I've discovered that if I use the tab button to move focus onto the  
combobox after validation has failed, then the focus border appears  
and is red - but it won't appear by itself.


	I would have assumed that you could provide a focusskin and then the  
component would still draw the red border, but I can't find any  
references for it.  Can anyone tell me how to do this?  There doesn't  
seem to be a skin option for the error border itself.


Toby
On 30/07/2008, at 3:42 PM, Tim Hoff wrote:


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:

mx:ComboBox errorString=Test/

 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] Adjacent mx:Label controls and spacing between them?

2008-07-30 Thread Chris W. Rea

Hi flexcoders.  This is my first post, so hello!  I'm relatively new
to Flex, and I am using Flex Builder 3.

I'm trying to lay out some text with Label controls, and this issue is
confusing me.  Basically, I want to display a string such as The
first number is 42 and the second number is 99.  The numbers
themselves vary and areto be conditionally styled.  In fact, the
values are to be controlled by two sliders, and I want an effect such
that when the slider is dragged, the numbers change colour until the
slider is released.

I had originally laid out the text using a single mx:Label control and
setting htmlText within the string to:
mx:Label htmlText=The first number is {firstNumber} and the second
number is {secondNumber}./

However, I'd like more control over the styling of those bound
numbers, individually.  So, I am attempting to factor the string into
multiple Label controls (as in the snippet below.)

However, I can't seem to get the space between the last number and the
period to disappear.  I thought by setting the HBox horizontalGap to
zero and each Label's paddingLeft and paddingRight to zero that there
should be no such space, but that's not the case.  I imagine I am
misunderstanding how the label widths are calculated and being
rendered, and overlooking something obvious.

So, is there a way to make the adjacent mx:Labels render similar to
the single mx:Label above?  Or, is there a better way to accomplish
what I want as I described above?  Thank you.

 I do not have the option to convert the array into XML or XMLList

Can you convert it to HierarchicalData?  It looks like it's already

 Hi,
 
 Im running into an issue with Flex and need some help.
 
 I have an action script application in flexbuilder. 
 Here is the setup,
 
 * interface named IScreen defined in the application
 * Created a new mxml module(MyScreen.mxml) which is implementing 
the 
 IScreen interface
 * The main application's SWF has just the IScreen.as and the 
 application.mxml
 * The MyScreen.swf has the MyScreen.as and the related dependencies
 
 Im trying to instantiate the class MyScreen from the 
 application.mxml. Im loading the swf file using a ModuleLoader and 
 once the module is loaded, Im trying to create an instance of the 
 MyScreen using the getDefinitionByName.
 
 I get the following error
 Error #1065: Variable MyScreen is not defined.
 
 I get this because MyScreen is a seperate module and not compiled 
 into the main swf file. I dont want the MyScreen to be compiled 
into 
 the main app as my requirement is that I dont know which 
 implementation of the screen, I willbe loading in the runtime.
 
 In Java I would just define the interface in the main application 
and 
 then, load the class that is implementing the interface from the 
 classpath and I should be able to call the methods in the interface.
 
 Any thoughts!!!
 
 I have a sample workspace showing this problem

RE: [flexcoders] Sorting an XMLList on an attribute

XMLList does not have a sort method.

 

You could do the sort manually, a single level is pretty easy.

 

Does sorting XMLListCollection sort the underlyingsource XMLList as
well?  If so, why not just use XMLListCollection in the sorting function
only?

Subject: [flexcoders] Sorting an XMLList on an attribute

 

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:

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

[flexcoders] Updating AIR apps - 'version string' nonsense?

2008-07-30 Thread Borek

To update an AIR app, you can use Updater#update() method. This method
accepts 2 parameters - first is 'airFile' and the second is 'version
string'. I am totally confused about the version parameter though -
why do we need it? This is an example from the docs:

var airFile:File = File.applicationStore.resolvePath(Example
Application.air);
var version:String = 2.01;
updater.update(airFile, version);

How can I possibly know that I want to update to 2.01 and not 2.02 or
2.03? Of course I don't - therefore, it's suggested that you first
download the AIR app, extract the version info from the second record
in the AIR/ZIP file () and than call the update() method with the
parsed version string.

Why oh why I need to do this? How does it make my application more
resistant to downgrades (which is the official explanation for the
presence of the version parameter)? Of course it's good to express an
intent to upgrade only but then, you would need some other system,
probably increasing integers or something, definitely not a completely
custom version string (which is good for the install screen, for the
About dialog etc.)

I feel this is completely wrong in AIR. Am I missing something?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Programmatically select items in AdvancedDataGrid

How did you get o?  For selectedItem(s) to work, o must be a reference
pointing to an item in the dataProvider.  Is that the case?

 

If so, try assigning the entire selectedItems array, rather than
manipulating its elements individually.  That is just a guess, but is
the way you must handle the columns array in a dataGrid.

Hi,

I have a requirement wherin I have to parse a multilevel array. 
Suppose we have an array like
mx:Array
mx:Object label=Control Panel
mx:children
mx:Array
mx:Object label=Five /
mx:Object label=Six /
/mx:Array
/mx:children
/mx:Object 
mx:Object label=Selling/
mx:Object label=Service/
mx:Object label=Billing/ 
/mx:Array

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.

What's the best event to listen for when a *specific* child of a

I'm using a fairly common pattern to change the viewstack...

private function getView(i:int): Container {
if (i == VIEW_MAIN) {
// can't fire event here, main doesn't exist yet!
return main;
} else {
return login;
}
}

mx:ViewStack selectedChild={ getView( viewState ) }

Advice would be appreciated...

[flexcoders] Chart not displaying large no. of items nicely

2008-07-30 Thread nehavyas13

Hi,

I have got 3 charts on a page. 2 are Bar chart and 3rd is a Column
Chart. All one below another.

The first two charts on the y axis do not have fixed items. These
items are created at run time. If the no. of items reaches more than
15, the 1st two charts do not show them properly formatted.

i.e It does show the correct data, but the bars are very tiny. Of
course this would be because of the space it has been allocated.

But can somebody suggest any nice solution to this? As, to how do I
get the charts to display a large no. of items nicely, even thought it
has a restricted small space allocated to it. I am not able to find
any examples on this.

Thanks

Send the component name, method and arguments list to a generic service method 
that does the invoke for you.
And be sure to check that the object name and method are at least members of a

[flexcoders] LCDS : updateItem method

RE: [flexcoders] LCDS : updateItem method

2008-07-30 Thread Jeff Vroom

Updates are tracked automatically as you change properties on your item.  If 
you have autoCommit turned on, each property change of a managed object will 
automatically send the changes to the server and call updateItem.   If you turn 
autoCommit=false, you can call dataService.commit() to commit all pending 
changes or dataService.commit([myObject]) to commit just the changes for a 
specific object.

[flexcoders] Re: Programmatically select items in AdvancedDataGrid

2008-07-30 Thread fourctv

adg.selectedItems and adg.selectedIndices are arrays.

selectedItems is an array of objects from adg's dataProvider taht are currently 
selected, 
and it is a read/write property.
selectedINdices otoh is an array of ints with indices for those same objects in 
selectedItems.

so, to make it simple, if you want to select rows 2,4,6 you'd do something like:
var mySelection:Array = [2,4,6];
adg.selectedINdices = mySelection;

Re: [flexcoders] dynamic remote objects

2008-07-30 Thread Dan Vega

Ok, I figured out what I was doing wrong but I am still getting an error. I
think this is the right way to use remote object in AS3

import mx.rpc.remoting.RemoteObject;
import mx.rpc.remoting.Operation;

// setup the remote method
var service:RemoteObject = new
RemoteObject(ColdFusion);
service.source = component.text;
// the method needs to know about the remote object
var operation:Operation = new Operation(service);
operation.name = method.selectedItem.NAME;

operation.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT,loadGridData);
operation.send();

But I am still getting this error and I am  not sure why?

[flexcoders] AdvancedDataGrid: Disable Dragging Columns

2008-07-30 Thread Paul Whitelock

In the Adobe documentation it says the following about disabling the
ability to re-arrange columns by dragging:

To disable dragging of all columns in a group, set the
AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup.childrenDragEnabled property to false. To
disable dragging for a single column, set the
AdvancedDataGridColumn.dragEnabled property to false.

However, I don't seem to see any trace of the dragEnabled property
for AdvancedDataGridColumn. I'm probably just missing something
obvious, so can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

MyFile.swf?myFlashVar=abcd does not have a recognized extension

 Do you want your application to notice automatically that something has

How do we do this with BlazeDS? I'm currently using BlazeDS. Is there
any configuration for notifying the apps that something has changed on

 I've tried doing
 - dataProvider.refresh();
 - dataGrid.dataProvider.dispatchEvent(new
 CollectionEvent(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE));

 Or do you mean that you are removing items from the ArrayCollection that is
 set as the dataprovider, in which case as long as you wrote
 dataProvider={myAC}
 it should Just Work.

Yes, but the dataProvider is data from the database. Instead of
ArrayCollection that is set on the client.

[flexcoders] Anyone using HTMLComponent? Huge problem here

2008-07-30 Thread gunnar.ulle

Hi.

We're currently using the comp to implement a js-based RTE within our
flex app to get correct formated html back to our database.

The app traverses through a data source and creates elements for
different types of data (like textinput and so on) and finally adds them
to a list element, acting as a conatiner (we need to use a list because
of dragndrop capability). Everything's fine so far.

But when the rte element gets placed and the list gets longer then its
initial height, it seems like the rte (to be precisely: the HTML Comp)
kills the vertical scroll ability of the list element. Flex claims, the
list has no vertical scrollbar... (??)

w/o the html comp placed everything works fine with scrolling the list.

Here's an example code as a testcase:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute xmlns:fc=com.flexcapacitor.controls.*

Re: [flexcoders] Adjacent mx:Label controls and spacing between them?

2008-07-30 Thread Chris W. Rea

Hi Jeremy.  Thanks!  That did the trick.  Brilliant - I hadn't thought
about a negative gap as I was thinking *inside* the box.  :-)  I
expected there would be a positive-valued property or style that I
would zero out.  I'd love to know what that -6 is compensating for,
though.  There is clearly additional padding for the rendering of the
Label that is not represented by paddingLeft, paddingRight... an
internal implementation detail?

Anyway, thank you!

 Hi flexcoders. This is my first post, so hello! I'm relatively new
 to Flex, and I am using Flex Builder 3.

 I'm trying to lay out some text with Label controls, and this issue is
 confusing me. Basically, I want to display a string such as The
 first number is 42 and the second number is 99. The numbers
 themselves vary and areto be conditionally styled. In fact, the
 values are to be controlled by two sliders, and I want an effect such
 that when the slider is dragged, the numbers change colour until the
 slider is released.

 I had originally laid out the text using a single mx:Label control and
 setting htmlText within the string to:
 mx:Label htmlText=The first number is {firstNumber} and the second
 number is {secondNumber}./

 However, I'd like more control over the styling of those bound
 numbers, individually. So, I am attempting to factor the string into
 multiple Label controls (as in the snippet below.)

 However, I can't seem to get the space between the last number and the
 period to disappear. I thought by setting the HBox horizontalGap to
 zero and each Label's paddingLeft and paddingRight to zero that there
 should be no such space, but that's not the case. I imagine I am
 misunderstanding how the label widths are calculated and being
 rendered, and overlooking something obvious.

 So, is there a way to make the adjacent mx:Labels render similar to
 the single mx:Label above? Or, is there a better way to accomplish
 what I want as I described above? Thank you.

[flexcoders] ViewStack and Combobox

2008-07-30 Thread cox.blair

Here is my situation,

I have a combobox and a viewstack. The combobox's dataProvider is XML
generated by a php script retrieving information from a db.

The database has two primary entries. The first is a location, the
second is a type of test performed. These are inputed by the user
elsewhere in the application. When the user views the combobox, they
see the list of site entries.

Upon selecting the a site, the viewstack should change to show the
related test information. Should be pretty straight forward. The
problem comes when I want to pass the string value of the test to
viewstack - they have the same names.

As a test of the viewstack, this works fine:
dataProvider={viewstackTestKits.getChildren()}
change={viewstackTestKits.selectedChild=event.currentTarget.selectedItem}

But I want something like this:
change=viewstackTestKits.selectedChild=box.selectedItem.Test_Kit_Used

lbl.text = annotation;
lbl.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onAnnotationClick);

[flexcoders] Re: adding mouse events to annotation items in a chart

2008-07-30 Thread blc187

The question is not how to add a listener, that was obviously the 
first thing I tried.

The problem is that the chart itself gets click events, not the 
annotations.
So when I add the listener you suggest to the annotation itself, it 
never fires.

So, either listen to the CLICK event on the chart and decifer if it 
is clicking on something specific within the chart, or find another 
way to listen on an annotation item.

[flexcoders] Re: Programmatically select items in AdvancedDataGrid

2008-07-30 Thread whatabrain

I tried your suggestion (using selectedItems, since selectedIndices 
is all but meaningless in a tree-view AdvancedDataGrid). Now the 
problem is even stranger. I add a bunch of items from the 
dataProvider into a new array. Then I assign the array to 
selectedItems. By the next line of code, selectedItems is down to 
just the clicked item, and the first item that was programmatically 
selected.


// On click of a top-level item:
private function onGridClick(event:ListEvent):void
{
...
var items:Array = new Array();

// Preserve currently clicked items
for (var idx:int=0; idxgrid.selectedItems.length; idx++)
items.push(grid.selectedItems[x]);

// Add all of the clicked item's children to the list
var children:ArrayCollection = gridData[clickedItemIdx].children;
for (idx=0; idxchildren.length; idx++)
{
items.push(children[x]);
}

// Overwrite selectedItems
grid.selectedItems = items;

// BUG: At this point, both grid.selectedItems and items contain 
// only two elements: the clicked item, and the first of the item's 
// children.

Oops. I used grid.selectedItems[x] instead of

So the conclusion is: Overwriting selectedItems works. Pushing 
elements onto selectedItems does not.

Re: [flexcoders] dynamic remote objects

2008-07-30 Thread Sid Maskit

ActionScript has two RemoteObject classes. The compiler is telling you that it 
does not know which of them you want to use when you say 'var 
service:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject(ColdFusion);'. From the looks of the 
error message, I would guess that you have a RemoteObject tag in your MXML, or 
that you are otherwise importing the mx.rpc.remoting.mxml:RemoteObject class.

You either need to remove whatever tag or script that is using the MXML version 
of RemoteObject, or you need to fully qualify the class name in your statement, 
something like this:

var service:mx.rpc.remoting.RemoteObject = new 
mx.rpc.remoting.RemoteObject(ColdFusion);'

Hope that helps,

Sid

Send the component name, method and arguments list to a generic service method

 Hi flexcoders. This is my first post, so hello! I'm relatively new

 I'm trying to lay out some text with Label controls, and this  
issue is

 confusing me. Basically, I want to display a string such as The
 first number is 42 and the second number is 99. The numbers
 themselves vary and areto be conditionally styled. In fact, the
 values are to be controlled by two sliders, and I want an effect  
such

 that when the slider is dragged, the numbers change colour until the
 slider is released.

 I had originally laid out the text using a single mx:Label control  
and

 setting htmlText within the string to:
 mx:Label htmlText=The first number is {firstNumber} and the second
 number is {secondNumber}./

 However, I'd like more control over the styling of those bound
 numbers, individually. So, I am attempting to factor the string into
 multiple Label controls (as in the snippet below.)

 However, I can't seem to get the space between the last number and  
the

 period to disappear. I thought by setting the HBox horizontalGap to
 zero and each Label's paddingLeft and paddingRight to zero that  
there

 should be no such space, but that's not the case. I imagine I am
 misunderstanding how the label widths are calculated and being
 rendered, and overlooking something obvious.

 So, is there a way to make the adjacent mx:Labels render similar to
 the single mx:Label above? Or, is there a better way to accomplish
 what I want as I described above? Thank you.

[flexcoders] Text components of Gumbo

2008-07-30 Thread haykelbj

Hi,

I'm developing a flex app that should support displaying and editing
arabic text. So I'm exploring Gumbo and the new Astro text engine and
I'm willing to test and debug these features extensively!

Any hints where to start?

What I tried till now is to test the TextBox, TextArea, TextInput and
TextView components. I can set visual text properties (alignment, font
size etc.) on a TextView and TextBox, but I can only set text
direction (ie. 'rtl') on a TextView. On TextArea and TextInput I can
set none of these properties!

Also I think the new text engine support a markup language, is this
right (XFL?, FXG?). If yes is there a document about it?

I'm using Gumbo from SVN and I'm updating daily!

Thanx,
Haykel

[flexcoders] ViewStack, Combobox Dataprovider

2008-07-30 Thread cox.blair

Here is my situation,

I have a combobox and a viewstack. The combobox's dataProvider is XML
generated by a php script retrieving information from a db.

The database has two primary entries. The first is a location, the
second is a type of test performed. These are inputed by the user
elsewhere in the application. When the user views the combobox, they
see the list of site entries.

Upon selecting the a site, the viewstack should change to show the
related test information. Should be pretty straight forward. The
problem comes when I want to pass the string value of the test to
viewstack - they have the same names.

As a test of the viewstack, this works fine:
dataProvider={viewstackTestKits.getChildren()}
change={viewstackTestKits.selectedChild=event.currentTarget.selectedItem}

But I want something like this:
change=viewstackTestKits.selectedChild=box.selectedItem.Test_Kit_Used

[flexcoders] Form Processing in Flex

2008-07-30 Thread brucewhealton

Hello all,
   I think I wasn't clear when I discussed something related to
this previously in a posting.  I see some very useful and elegant
tools for creating form elements using Flex.  When designing in xhtml,
using Dreamweaver, I call the form processor from the opening form
tag, which calls a php file - that's I have been using, mainly for
form processing.  It returns the values entered.
  I'm not clear how this would work in Flex.  Everything in the
Flex application is compiled.  So, how do you access the content
entered by the user that comes to the form?  Can someone explain how
this works, please?  Does this require a certain type of form processor?
Thanks,
Bruce

[flexcoders] Datagrid filterfunction results

2008-07-30 Thread Don Kerr

I have a dataProvider feeding a dataGrid. I have a filterFunction that
filters the DP down to a subset of the dataProvider. I reference the
dataProvider , myDG.dataProvider. But, how do I reference just the
filtered down data? myDG.dataProvider gives me all data, not filtered
data.

Having trouble finding the property where the filterFunction result
set is stored. I'm hoping it lives in an ArrayCollection somewhere
already. If not, how would I build an ArrayCollection of the results
as it filter all items?

I want to pass just the filtered down data to another component.

Thanks,
Don

Below is an example of one of my filters:

public function processFilter(item:Object):Boolean
{
var result:Boolean=false;

//make sure there is a search term
if(term.text != null  term.text.length  0)
{ 
//get the search term as upper case
var searchTerm:String = term.text.toUpperCase();
//check against the title
if(item.crNumber != null  item.title.length  0)
{
result = (item.crNumber.toUpperCase().indexOf(searchTerm) != -1);
}
//no need to check doc number if title already matched or if there is
no docNumber
if(result == false  item.docNumber != null  item.docNumber.length  0)

result = (item.docNumber.toUpperCase().indexOf(searchTerm) != -1);

RE: [flexcoders] Text components of Gumbo

2008-07-30 Thread Gordon Smith

Hi, Haykel.

 

In current builds of Gumbo, you can set all FXG text attributes (plus
verticalAlign) on what we consider the Gumbo text primitives: TextBox,
TextGraphic, and TextView. You have to currently set them as properties,
not CSS styles; support for CSS will come later, probably within a month
or two.

 

Higher-level components like the Gumbo Button, TextInput, TextArea, etc.
do not yet support setting text attributes. You have to work on the
primitive in their skin. This will be fixed in the same time frame.

 

Astro's text engine is known as FTE (Flash Text Engine). It does not
support a markup language. TCAL, the Text Component ActionScript
Library, which implemented in the three text_xxx SWCs, adds support for
a markup language which is a superset of FXG. I'm not sure whether we
have published the spec for FXG or not yet. (Do you know?) I don't think
we have a spec for the superset that TCAL supports, but you can see
TCAL's API by looking at the ASDoc for the text.* packages in the Gumbo
ASDoc at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/gumbo/langref/.

 

I'm happy to hear that you're interested in Gumbo's text features. I'm
the engineer who is integrating FTE and TCAL into the Flex framework.

[flexcoders] Re: disable all controls on stage

2008-07-30 Thread Laurent

The best way would probably be to set Application.application.enabled
= false; since it should also disable the children components of the app.

If it doesn't work, you can loop through all the components using a
recursive function. For example:


function recursiveDisable(component) {
   for (var i = 0; i  component.numChildren; i++) {
  recursiveDisable(component.getChildAt(i));
   }
   component.enabled = false;
}

recursiveDisable(Application.application);

 Hi Faisal,
 
 I think the problem is in the way you are adding the window. Since you

 windowManager and I think that is what is null. If you say
 mdic.windowManager.add( window ), it will addChild() for you and also
 set the windowManager property correctly. Try that and I think you
 will be all set.
 
 That said, I think its completely reasonable to expect things to work
 the way you had them coded. I am going to look at overriding

[flexcoders] Interesting problem: dynamically creating id's and later referencing them.

2008-07-30 Thread Thatcher

Hi Guys (and Girls),

Ok, so I have been fighting a couple of days to figure this out. 

In order to make a large and compliated form with drag and drop in of 
more form fields I want to dynamically add an id to an display 
object, and then be able to reference it later to get data out.

Somehow it only seems possible to find these objects by navigating 
trough the the displaylist, and I cannot assign any 'real' id to a 
newly created child.

The following example should illustrate what I want to do (it should 
run). You will find it quite imposssible to get the object by it's id 
(or uid). 

Why is that?? Is there any other way of referencing an object of 
which you do not know who his parent is?


Thank you in advance and greetings,
Thatcher

[flexcoders] Re: Controlling slice colors within PieChart objects

2008-07-30 Thread kamelkev


After digging like crazy through the archive I can see that there have been a 
large number 
of questions related to this exact topic - I think that stems from people 
mostly not 
understanding the callback procedures involved.

For example I ultimately did discover the fillfunction callback for the 
piechart object, but I 
don't understand how that data gets propogated back to the legend. Right now 
the legend 
actually displays a different set of colors.

I found a (not quite as effective) alternate solution to my problem by just 
filling in an array 
with the colors I want in the order that I expect them - I then use that as the 
fill source for 
the chart after I populate it with data.

This creates the correct looking chart and legend, but ultimately colors are 
not explicitly 
bound to slice - there is a chance things can go wrong, so I'm still interested 
in the 
correct solution.

Also - does *anyone* know how to pull the PieSeries out of a PieChart. Once the 
chart is 
populated how do you pull out just the pieseries? If I had a get method for 
that data I 
could probably parse it and figure this whole thing out, but I don't have one 
so far :(

 Hi,
 
   I'm sure someone has run into this before, but I search and search
 and find nothing that sounds right.
 
   I am creating an applet that loads a remote xml document containing
 the necessary data I want to render within the pie chart.
 
   I pass the labels, the value for the slice, along with a color -
 but it seems that the PieChart object and the related PieSeries object
 don't have the ability to save this data anywhere. Odd, but I
 figured I could just work around it.
 
   My idea was more or less to iterate through the object slices within
 the HTTPservice response method, populate the chart, perform an
 invalidate to force the chart to load. After I did this I want to
 iterate through each slice using getnextitem or something and (using
 the data from my xml) set the colors explicitely within the chart
 directly.
 
   This all sounded great this morning - but it's 8 hours later and I
 still haven't quite figured out how to do it. Am I chasing some
 impossible goal here? It's pretty important for me to explicitly bind
 specific colors to slice data so I see no way around this given the
 charting suite.
 
   Also while I'm asking, does anyone know of any open source flex
 charting tools? I went to a conference in Portland last week where
 some Adobe guys mentioned it... but I can't seem to find the url with

service.destination = ColdFusion;

I finally figured it out. You use a change watcher on the variables
which define the stroke colors for the chart. When these change, the
changewatcher is fired. In the handler, you call
chart.legendDataChanged(); This will tell the legend to update it's
colors from the chart series. I don't think that you should have to do
that, but you do. I consider it either a design flaw, or a bug.

Here is my situation,

I have a combobox and a viewstack. The combobox's dataProvider is XML
generated by a php script retrieving information from a db.

The database has two primary entries. The first is a location, the
second is a type of test performed. These are inputed by the user

see the list of site entries.

Upon selecting the a site, the viewstack should change to show the
related test information. Should be pretty straight forward. The
problem comes when I want to pass the string value of the test to
viewstack - they have the same names.

As a test of the viewstack, this works fine:
dataProvider={viewstackTestKits.getChildren()}

 If anyone here can see the preloader there, then sorry, the problem is
 probably somewhere on my computer.
 
 If no one can see it, the problem is probably in Flex or Flash player
 right ?
 
 I am still looking for some kind of workaround if possible :)
 for Alex : You can try to load only SWF :

 http://astronaute.net/_temp/PreloaderBug/PreloaderBug.swf 
 
 As you can see, there is no wrapper issue, as the SWF alone is not
 showing the preloader.
 
 Thank you again for your help,

Re: [flexcoders] Form Processing in Flex

2008-07-30 Thread Sid Maskit

I'm not sure if I am understanding your question, but maybe this will help. 

Flex can communicate with a server in several ways.

One way that flex can communicate with a server is by pretty much acting the 
same as a browser: i.e. it can submit get and post requests which will look 
exactly the same to the server as get and post requests submitted by a browser. 
Thus you can probably process form submissions on the server using exactly the 
same PHP code that you are using for browser-submitted forms.

Similarly, flex can get the server's response to such a request, and can 
process the provided information. However, unless you are simply going to 
display it to the user, you probably do not want the server to respond with a 
page of HTML, but rather was something that will be useful for flex. Thus this 
might be where you would want to start changing your server-side code to act 
differently for flex as opposed to the browser.

Flex also has built-in classes for communicating with web services, Flash 
Remoting, and LiveCycle Data Services.

One of the nice things about the latter two approaches is that a gateway takes 
care of translating data between flash and the server so that each can work in 
its native datatypes. For example, if one is using a PHP server, the gateway 
will take submitted flash data and convert it to PHP data, and take the 
returned PHP data and convert it to flash data. Thus you can work with native 
datatypes on both the client and server without having to worry about 
conversions.

Obviously, none of the above tells you how to do any of this, but hopefully it 
gives you some starting points for further research, or asking more specific 
questions.

Subject: [flexcoders] Form Processing in Flex


Hello all,
I think I wasn't clear when I discussed something related to
this previously in a posting.  I see some very useful and elegant
tools for creating form elements using Flex.  When designing in xhtml,
using Dreamweaver, I call the form processor from the opening form
tag, which calls a php file - that's I have been using, mainly for
form processing.  It returns the values entered.
I'm not clear how this would work in Flex.  Everything in the
Flex application is compiled.  So, how do you access the content
entered by the user that comes to the form?  Can someone explain how
this works, please?  Does this require a certain type of form processor?
Thanks,
Bruce

RE: [flexcoders] link report question

I don't know what they fully mean given that classes share constant
pools, but there is an optimization pass where some byte code is pulled
from swf, but then the SWF is compressed so it will always be smaller
than the sum of sizes.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Complete metadata information and Where to Find it???

2008-07-30 Thread Sid Maskit

We just had a thread discussing this. It turns out that the [Exclude] tag does 
not limit the ability to use what is excluded, but only keeps it from showing 
up in FlexBuilder's code hinting. In this sense, it sounds as though it works 
exactly the same as [ExcludeClass] except for a different type of item.

RE: [flexcoders] Air NativeWindow in StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL

The problem is the presentation window is built with Flex

somewhere else to adjust settings in html, but not Flex nativewindows

I'm setting the scroll policies to on. But the horizontal scroll bar is
not shown properly. It 
doesn't show the right end and arrow of the scroll bar, so the user is
never able to see the

It functions very well, with a DataGrid which is around 2000px wide.
Does anybody know if
