RE: [flexcoders] Re: Datagrid item render tooltip issue

[Alex Harui]

I'm sorry you are leaving.  If you had followed my recommendation and used the 
datatip mechanism, then I would have a much better idea of any problems you ran 
into, and in theory, you would have found that your custom class would be 
instantiated for every renderer regardless of the length of its text and could 
show anything it wanted, and if it didn't, I'd have an idea of where to look 
next.   I try to get everyone to go down the same small set of paths so I can 
save time to hit as many posts as possible in the time I have  to do so.  I 
know it would take more of your time to re-route your code to my 
recommendations, but, really, I made those recommendations thinking it would 
save both of us time.

Sorry if my asking you for more information is coming across as not
being interested in your recommendations but I thought I was very
clear as to why we can't simply use a text datatip.

There is a reason why we are subclassing a canvas to create a custom
tooltip and I am again sorry that I wasn't explicit enough in the
previous descriptions of the problem to give you the information you
needed to understand why we can't simply use a text datatip.

I have to say that this experience has really soured me on this group
and I'll be leaving right after posting this as I can't really see the
point of a group where one of the prominent members harangues you for
not wanting to follow advice that is clearly not even remotely
appropriate despite being told so on several occasions.

Thanks for wasting my time.

Fix the width, ask for the measuredHeight.  You may have to use callLater in 
between.

[flexcoders] Vertical Scroll Bar in Browser, can be done?

[David Pariente]

Hi all,
I reopen this discussion because i got a case where i need to use vertical 
scrollbars from the explorer,

i tried adding body { margin: 0px; overflow-x:hidden; overflow-y:scroll; } to 
the html, but then the scrollbar appears, but can't use.

we are trying to avoid using the flex scrollbars, cause the app is positioned 
in the middle of the page, and has a special design on the borders of it (that 
whould completely mess if we use a scrollbar there).

So my question is if it's possible to scroll vertically the full app, using the 
navigators scrollbars, or not. In case is not, can we put a flex scrollbar in 
the right border of the explorer (not the right border of the flex app).

I still don't know if i have to contact the designer to tell her to change ALL 
her design cause of this scrollbars :(

thnx in advance.

I'm having a hard time following your explanation of which scrollbar comes
from where (And I've had my own scroll issues), but have you thought about
modifying the html-template file to use HTML frames (or an iFrame) so the
center frame/iframe would have the Flex app and the scroll bars?

I think the OP needs scrollbars at the side of the design because the flex app 
is centered and floating inside the html page. Adding a scrollbar to the flex 
would have the scrollbar in the page and spoiling the design aesthetic. I guess 
the designer has a html background to match the design of the flex app so that 
where flex ends and html begins isn't apparent.

Re: [flexcoders] How do I make sure container's child components have applied new style before ImageSnapshot?

[Ian M. Jones]

Thanks Alex for your response.

I tried all kinds of combinations of capturing the updateComplete  
event on different components as well as chaining callLaters with  
checking of properties etc, but couldn't get it to work without side  
effects.


Eventually I found that all I needed to do was validate the container  
and the Legend control before taking the snapshot, the important part  
being that the container must be validated before the Legend so that  
the Legend picks up the CSS changes when it's validateNow is called.


Here's my new method of saving pictures of charts etc for anyone that  
might come across the same problem, it's not particularly efficient  
what with all the validateNows (3 in total), but seeing as this is  
triggered from a button press or hot key, the user isn't doing  
anything else and must have the result as quickly as possible, it's  
not such a big deal. It's pretty responsive.


private function saveToFile():void
{
var crossPlatform:ICrossPlatform;
crossPlatform = CrossPlatform.getInstance();

if (mainTabs.selectedChild.id == casesTab)
{
var dataString:String = delimitedCaseListString();
		crossPlatform.saveStringToFile(dataString, currentFilter.sFilterName  
+ .txt);

}

if (mainTabs.selectedChild.id == pieChartTab)
{
pieChartContainer.styleName = forPrint;
		pieChartContainer.validateNow();	//*** Make sure container has style  
set and displayed.
		pieChartLegend.validateNow();		//*** Make sure troublesome child has  
style set and displayed.

callLater(saveSnapshotAndResetStyleName, [pieChartContainer]);
		pieChartContainer.validateNow();	//*** Kick off snapshot in timely  
fashion.

}
}

private function  
saveSnapshotAndResetStyleName(component:UIComponent):void

{
// Take snapshot and remove print style.
var dataBytes:ByteArray = byteArrayFromComponent(component);
pieChartContainer.styleName = null;

// Save image to file.
var crossPlatform:ICrossPlatform;
crossPlatform = CrossPlatform.getInstance();
	crossPlatform.saveByteArrayToFile(dataBytes,  
currentFilter.sFilterName + .png);

}

private function byteArrayFromComponent(component:UIComponent):ByteArray
{
	var imageSnapshot:ImageSnapshot =  
ImageSnapshot.captureImage(component);

return imageSnapshot.data;
}

It seems to work.

Thanks for trying to help, trying to implement something off your  
suggestion lead to the final fix.

Hi,

I'm having a bit of a problem with capturing a snapshot of a VBox's
contents with a simple colour change applied through a styleName  
change.


The container layout is something like:

mx:VBox id=pieChartContainer width=100% height=100%
horizontalAlign=center
mx:Label id=pieChartTitle
text={currentFilter.sFilterName}
fontSize=14
fontWeight=bold
textDecoration=underline/
mx:PieChart id=pieChart width=100% height=100%
showDataTips=true dataTipFunction=pieChartDataTipFunction
resizeEffect={moveAndResize}
mx:series
// Some series, not relevant to problem.
/mx:series
/mx:PieChart
mx:Legend id=pieChartLegend
dataProvider={pieChart}
width=100%
visible={chkPieChartLegend.selected}
includeInLayout={chkPieChartLegend.selected}
direction=horizontal
resizeEffect={moveAndResize}/
/mx:VBox

Because by default my app has a dark theme with light text applied
through CSS, before capturing a snapshot, I set the style to:

.forPrint
{
color: #00;
}

This means the image should have black text which is good for print  
etc.


I call saveToFile() to start the capture, only when the referenced pie
chart is visible.

private function saveToFile():void
{
pieChartContainer.styleName = forPrint;
callLater(saveSnapshotAndResetStyleName, [pieChartContainer]);
pieChartContainer.validateNow();
}

private function
saveSnapshotAndResetStyleName(component:UIComponent):void
{
var dataBytes:ByteArray = byteArrayFromComponent(component); // The
bit that does all the real work!
var crossPlatform:ICrossPlatform;

pieChartContainer.styleName = null;

crossPlatform = CrossPlatform.getInstance();
crossPlatform.saveByteArrayFile(dataBytes, currentFilter.sFilterName
+ .png);
}

The problem is that although the pie chart gets the change in text
colour before the snapshot is taken, if the Legend control is included
in

 Hi, Troy.
 It works if I apply it as a circle or a rectangle...
 What I need is a rectangle with a hole in the middle.
 
 If you set a solid fill, then draw a rectangle, then drwa a circle,
 then put it on the stage (addChild), you have the effect Im after (the
 rect with the hole).
 But when I apply it as a mask, it doesnt works...
 
 The link you posted had examples of simple shapes as masks: several
 rect, several circles...
 Anyways, as soon as I figure out a solution, Ill let you know.


Couldn't you just turn the shape that's what you want into a bitmap and 
mask with that?

 Hi there.
 Im trying to make something that will sound very familiar to
 flashers around here (sure youre here!)
 I need to draw a shape with a hole, and need to apply it as a mask to
 an image. Im doing this with Flex. The hole in the mask is
 dynamically created, thats why Im not using flash to draw a movieclip
 as my mask.
 Any ideas? Thanx in advance :0)

Instead of thinking of two shapes with one being subtracted from the other, 
think of it as one of those inflatable neck pillows, but with the ends 
wrapping around completely. It would look like a regular pillow with a hole, 
but would actually be a horseshoe shape with the ends touching.

[Paul Andrews]

David,

Your designer may be able to force the scrollbars by adding an unobtrusive 
design element to the html (long one pixel wide image, or some CSS) to make the 
scrollbars operate.

Mission accomplished. Use this:

style

body {overflow:visible; height:1500px }

/style

In your html template for the project. Adapt to suit.

[flexcoders] Printing Problems

[donvoltz]

Would anyone be able to tell me why the following code creates a blank
page. I am using Flex 3 on Mac OS 10.5

I am able to add the custom printing compoent to the application, the
print dialog opens and it looks to be processing the print, however, I
am left with 2 blank pages when it is done. In addition, it crashes
Firefox when the print job is complete. I have added some of the ideas
presented in this group, however, can not seem to find any additional
information on the web about this problem. Has anyone overcome the issue.

The function I am using to print is as follows

private function printDailyManpowerList(event:MouseEvent):void {
var printJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob(); 
//create flex
print job
 if (printJob.start() != true){
return;
 }
var dailyPrint:DailyManpowerListPrintView = new
DailyManpowerListPrintView(); //create new print component
this.parentApplication.addChild(dailyPrint);
printJob.addObject(dailyPrint);
callLater(printJob.send); //start print
this.parentApplication.removeChild(dailyPrint);//remove component from
container
}

The code for the DailyManpowerListPrintView is


?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex scheduling framework

[Alan]

I also have been curious about the framework -  my impression is that  
it has been 'lead out to pasture' .  Perhaps it's become obsolete or  
there isn't any demand for it.
No doubt the Flex team is over-burdened ( what dev team isn't ) and  
working on more pressing issues.  Maybe Adobe's management can be  
persuaded to allow the team to put together some basic 'getting  
started' articles and document the API.


I think that's the best we can hope for.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex scheduling framework

[Vivian Richard]

   I agree with you in the point that Flex team is over-burdened and kind
   of abandoned the frame work. But I can guarantee this framework cannot
   be obsolete in the sense that there is a great demand for it. If you take
   a look at old emails you will be able to see that there are many people
   out there who needed a nice functional scheduling framework. My personal
   opinion is that since they have already put a lot of time to develop it,
   they should put a little more time to make it usable. Like you I am
   also hoping that they will come us with some good examples and
   make the API very clear.

[flexcoders] What is the best way to measure htmlText at run time?

[Aaron Miller]

Hello,

I have to create Text components at run time and assign some content to it's
htmlText. I'm trying to figure out the best way to measure the content's
height, but so far have not been very good at it. Ideally, I would like to
use the same method Flex uses when the Text component is explicitly set in
the MXML like so:

mx:Text width=100% htmlText={HTML_CONTENT} /


I've tried using the seemingly obvious measureHTMLText, but this doesn't
seem to work as I expected it to.

===
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Box xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; width=100% height=100%


mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;

[Bindable]
private var _htmlContent:String;

public function get htmlContent(): String {
return _htmlContent;
}

public function set htmlContent( data:String ): void {
_htmlContent = data;
}

private function onUpdateComplete(): void {
trace('HTMLContentBox.onUpdateComplete: '+_htmlContent);

//mesure content height and update this.height accordingly
var tm:TextLineMetrics = idContentText.measureHTMLText(_htmlContent);
trace( ObjectUtil.toString(tm) );

this.height = tm.height + this.getStyle('paddingBottom') +
this.getStyle('paddingTop');
}

]]
/mx:Script

mx:Text id=idContentText width=100% height=100%
selectable=false htmlText={_htmlContent} styleName=mediumStandardLabel
 updateComplete=onUpdateComplete(); /
/mx:Box
===


So, this leaves me with a question. What is the official way to measure
htmlText at run time?


Thanks for any input!

[flexcoders] Flash skin for DataGrid sort arrow doesn't flip when sort order changes

[rachelmaxim]

Hello

I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this and might know why
it happens and how to fix it :)

I skinned a DataGrid with Flash using the templates provided with
Flash CS3. When I use that skin, the sort arrow in the Data Grid
Header doesn't flip upside down when the sort order of the grid
changes. It just moves up and down a few pixels. So no matter what,
the arrow always points down.

There doesn't seem to be multiple states/frames or anything in the
skins that allow me to specify a different movie clip or skin. I also
can't find anything about explicitly skinning the up/down arrow states.

I'd greatly appreciate any insights.

Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] OpenLaszlo.org supports Flex, Silverlight, AJAX, soon Quicktime, and also DHTML and W3C

[Robert Thompson]

I apologize to you Alex.

You seem level headed, and I agree, after reading some of the things I  
have, perhaps it was perceived as Fire and Brimstone.


One sure fact is, I've spent 3 years developing my own eCommerce  
Platform based on FLEX and an XML storage repository.


To see the press release about Adobe creating applications just like  
the ones I, and I'm sure others, had and have planned, seems to be to  
be not the safest technology base to be in.


I have had a good look at OpenLaszlo.org and in Version 4.0 it looks  
like a great way to integrate things similar to Papervision3D, or even  
a CUDO based plug-in for NVIDIA CUDO 'C' programming language based  
GPU (graphics processing language) usage.


Macromedia has never taken a step like I saw in the press release and  
Whitepaper and client-list as Adobe has with Scene7 that will effect  
FLEX developers more than the majority of them realize right now.


Believe it or not, I'm on the SilverLight soap-box now also.  I'm on  
it all...no more blind happy pappa dedication to Adobe, they've made  
their plans clear.


So that's just my apology and response to you and to anyone I've  
offended.  I'm not making any money or getting off on these posts, I  
am genuinely concerned.

Re: [flexcoders] OpenLaszlo.org supports Flex, Silverlight, AJAX, soon Quicktime, and also DHTML and W3C

[Robert Thompson]

Alex,

I appreciated your post.

It was helpful.

There have been others that have sent me a nice reply saying that it  
is good to keep any eye out, and for those that look into Scene7, they  
can make their own conclusions.


I appreciated your time and post and thanked you.

I wouldn't demand anything from you - and I don't think anyone else  
should either.


I would demand that Adobe not compete against FLEX users by combining  
the Scene7 platform with a FLEX based user interface that serves the  
masses, and will cause, at the very least, many potential clients to  
say No early on, and then never re-connect again whether they have  
success with Scene7 or not - and it's relevant because it's a FLEX  
based interface for corporations.


I'm for everyone at this point, except those who don't have ethics.

I agree.  Let's see what happens.

Everyone here is an individual that can judge for themselves.

I myself and quite concerned.

I hope to be more informed than the Press Releases, White-paper and  
list of Clients already served by Adobe with a solution akin to the  
Hybrid or Flex Store and based on a high-performance platform.


Great.  But where does that FLEX mass-appeal product leave the  
developers.


If Scene7.com did it themselves great.  But Adobe has purchased them,  
the CEO of Adobe resigned about the same time, and now we have a new  
Adobe who is building a hybrid lightweight operating system in AIR  
that I have been very excited about in the past in my posts here, and  
in an OpenGL display framework (Papervision3D to the rescue), but now  
Adobe has just added a new dimension to all of thiscompetition in  
a very real sense against a developer, for example, bidding for a  
Small Running Shoe company.  Do they choose Adobe Scene7 or do they  
choose a developer?  Probably Adobe.


A ran 8:52 for the 3200m in college, All SEC twice, and NCAA  
Division-1, 3rd place championship team, and had a good running  
career, which is why I brought up the example of a running shoe store.

RE: [flexcoders] What is the best way to measure htmlText at run time?

[Jim Hayes]

I seem to remember having some case where a textArea would not update it's size 
measurements until it was validated .
I may well be wrong about this, but try :

private function onUpdateComplete(): void {

idContentText.validateNow();

trace('HTMLContentBox.onUpdateComplete: '+_htmlContent);

//mesure content height and update this.height accordingly
var tm:TextLineMetrics = idContentText.measureHTMLText(_htmlContent);
trace( ObjectUtil.toString(tm) );

this.height = tm.height + this.getStyle('paddingBottom') + 
this.getStyle('paddingTop');
}

apologies if it's not actually the correct answer, but the rest of your code 
looks pretty sensible to me - I'm wondering if it's being measured at the wrong 
time?

height, but so far have not been very good at it. Ideally, I would like to
use the same method Flex uses when the Text component is explicitly set in
the MXML like so:

mx:Text width=100% htmlText={HTML_CONTENT} /


I've tried using the seemingly obvious measureHTMLText, but this doesn't
seem to work as I expected it to.

===
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Box xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; width=100% height=100%


mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;

[Bindable]
private var _htmlContent:String;

public function get htmlContent(): String {
return _htmlContent;
}

public function set htmlContent( data:String ): void {
_htmlContent = data;
}

private function onUpdateComplete(): void {
trace('HTMLContentBox.onUpdateComplete: '+_htmlContent);

//mesure content height and update this.height accordingly
var tm:TextLineMetrics = idContentText.measureHTMLText(_htmlContent);
trace( ObjectUtil.toString(tm) );

this.height = tm.height + this.getStyle('paddingBottom') +
this.getStyle('paddingTop');
}

]]
/mx:Script

mx:Text id=idContentText width=100% height=100%
selectable=false htmlText={_htmlContent} styleName=mediumStandardLabel
 updateComplete=onUpdateComplete(); /
/mx:Box
===


So, this leaves me with a question. What is the official way to measure
htmlText at run time?


Thanks for any input!

[flexcoders] Want to build a SWF on the fly when someone requests it

[kuntamayu]

From my flex project, I want to create a swf file on fly - to save
clients' data .

Clients' data may contains Image, Text, Video, Audio and web link.

How to save this data in a swf file at server side.

( We are using java for server side code )

Waiting for reply.

RE: [flexcoders] Using view stack to link to mxml

[Pankaj Arora]

Yes they are completely different swf files( there are 4 of them in
total). One of them is main.swf which has few text boxes and buttons. On
clicking button 1 hello2. swf is loaded and it access all the
information from main.swf and similarly on clicking button2 another swf
file hello2.swf is loadead and so forth.

Okay, so just to clarify. You're wanting to communicate from one
application to another application?  They are completely different swf
files?

 

Like this?

 

Example HTML page:

html

headtitleTesting Flex/title/head

body

object id=Hello1 width=300 height=200

param name=movie
value=Hello1.swf /

param name=allowScriptAccess
value=sameDomain /

I'm a bit confused on how you mean load another application.  You
could either load a Component (compiled into your swf) or a Module
(compiled separate from your application).

 

From how I read it, this sounds like you're trying to load one MXML swf
inside of another application. One of the easiest ways to do this would
be through using Flex Modules (mx:Module).

 

More information would we useful.

I seem to have solved the problem by exporting the arrow artwork as

it won't work as part of the template though! 

Re: [flexcoders] OpenLaszlo.org supports Flex, Silverlight, AJAX, soon Quicktime, and also DHTML and W3C

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

There is a different way to look at this. Right now, Flash is still just 
and on-line technology in the view of most people. Even though AIR 
does a lot of things, people still don't think it is very important. 
Similar problem that Microsoft had with VB being considered only a 
desktop tech and almost none taking it seriously as a server until 
Microsoft built server based applications.

For me, Mass appeal of AIR is huge! It would mean that I can push Flex 
as a Desktop as well as a Web application. It becomes the replacement 
for VB and .net which then lets me solidify the build once/deploy 
everywhere that we have been talking about since the early Java days.

I understand your concern that Adobe is doing similar things as you are 
however, Micorsoft, IBM, Oracle and most others also make a lot of 
applications that are similar to what their developers build also. The 
difference is customization as well as usage. I think if Adobe can 
produce good desktop and Web applications that we can showcase, we will 
be able to move the market away from Microsoft and Sun and increase the 
viability of using Flex in corporations.

For me, at my company we were choosing between Silverlight, JavaFX, Doja 
and Flex. It was the fact that Microsoft had released Photoshop Express 
that helped to sell Flex.

That is my .02.

Re: [flexcoders] Using view stack to link to mxml

[Pedro Sena]

Pankaj,

Do you have control (can alter the source) of all those swfs? I would
recomend you to manipulate those swf files as flex modules instead of put
all of them in yout html. That way you can easily send/receive data between
them AND have the advantage to load them just when you need it, what does
not happens when you put all together in your html file.

Hope this helps

Scary. Microsoft just bought Adobe. Shriek!

The development world is big and Adobe consulting doesn't come cheap, so I 
think there's those that can afford the cream of the crop no matter what the 
cost and then there's the rest of the world that have budgets, so there's 
always going to be room for everyone.

[flexcoders] Image over a panel title?

[David Pariente]

Hi all, 

I wanna put an icon over a panel title, on the right side.

I tried and tried, but it seems like the panel title allways get over my icon, 
even i put icon inside a canvas, add it from outside the panel element...seems 
nothing i try brings my icon over it :(

If is impossible to do so...I feel is so strange, because is quite normal to 
make an app where u can move panel over eachother, like they where windows.

Anyone knows an easy way to put the icon where i wan it? 

(note: i'm not adding it as a panel title icon, i'm just addding it directy 
over, or inside a canvas).

Thnx a lot.

David,
 
Your designer may be able to force the scrollbars  by adding an unobtrusive 
design element to the html (long one pixel wide  image, or some CSS) to make 
the scrollbars operate.

I think the OP needs scrollbars at the side of  the design because the flex app 
is centered and floating inside the html  page. Adding a scrollbar to the flex 
would have the scrollbar in the page  and spoiling the design aesthetic. I 
guess the designer has a html  background to match the design of the flex app 
so that where flex ends and  html begins isn't apparent.

I'm having a hard time following your explanation of which  scrollbar comes 
from where (And I've had my own scroll issues), but have  you thought about 
modifying the html-template file to use HTML frames (or  an iFrame) so the 
center frame/iframe would have the Flex app and the  scroll bars?

i tried adding  body { margin: 0px; overflow-x:hidden; overflow-y:scroll; } to 
the html,  but then the scrollbar appears, but can't use.

we are trying to  avoid using the flex scrollbars, cause the app is positioned 
in the  middle of the page, and has a special design on the borders of it (that 
 whould completely mess if we use a scrollbar there).

So my  question is if it's possible to scroll vertically the full app, using  
the navigators scrollbars, or not. In case is not, can we put a flex  scrollbar 
in the right border of the explorer (not the right border of  the flex app).

I still don't know if i have to contact the  designer to tell her to change ALL 
her design cause of this scrollbars  :(

thnx in advance.

Re: [flexcoders] Want to build a SWF on the fly when someone requests it

[Toby Ashley]

You'd most likely be better off storing your users' data / choices as XML or
something, then build a SWF which can read in that XML and load / display
the relevant text / video / audio / links / whatever. Rather than creating
one SWF for each user, just create one SWF and pass it different XML for
each instance to populate the template.

Subject: [flexcoders] Image over a panel  title?

Hi all, 

I wanna put an icon over a panel title, on the right  side.

I tried and tried, but it seems like the panel title allways get  over my icon, 
even i put icon inside a canvas, add it from outside the panel  element...seems 
nothing i try brings my icon over it :(

If is  impossible to do so...I feel is so strange, because is quite normal to 
make an  app where u can move panel over eachother, like they where  windows.

Anyone knows an easy way to put the icon where i wan it? 

(note: i'm not adding it as a panel title icon, i'm just addding it  directy 
over, or inside a canvas).

Thnx a  lot.

Re: [flexcoders] Image over a panel title?

[David Pariente]

Oh sorry, it took me a while to find information on that method...

Actually, if i add the icon child after the panel child, the icon should be 
already have a higher child number, right?? because i allways add them at the 
laschild position.

So the icon should already be on the last child position.

now i don't know what does updateDisplayList or layoutChrome mean...i guess it 
just updates the displays list (obvious), but, as mi icon was, since created, 
the last child, i don't know if updating the display list should make any 
difference...

I'm sorry my knowledge in flex is quite basic :(

ya to bring it to the top just do 
setChildIndex( nameOfIcon, numChildren- 1); and do it somewhere so it is always 
up

Re: [flexcoders] Image over a panel title?

[Sherif Abdou]

ok try doing this or you can post some code. So override the layoutchrome 
method call the super function on it and in that method positon your icon and 
do the setChildIndex(icon, int). Now About the icon being the lastChild like 
you said, it depends where you created the icon. Did you override the 
createChildren() and do it there or did you just create it in the constructor.

O i see what your doing, it wont work this way what you need to do is New

isnt gona work for what you want. If you want post ur code on vadexFX.com and

You're going to need to extend the Panel class to add the icon to the
header. It's not as difficult as it sounds, check out this example as
a starting point:

[flexcoders] Re: flex interface with coldfusion

[rachelmaxim]

All the suggestions made by other commenters are correct... to
elaborate on that...

You're going to want to write CFCs (ColdFusion components) with
methods whose access attributes are remote. This exposes your CFCs
to Flex.

Then you can use the Flex RPC components to call the CFC. The easiest
way IMO is to use Remoting/AMF which in Flex is the Remote Object
component.

There are many tutorials on Adobe's website that show the basics of
using Flex and ColdFusion together.

Good luck!

Re: [flexcoders] Image over a panel title?

mmm i saw some coding doing that on google...

i think it will be easier for me just using some bitmaps, instead of a panel, 
as i actually don't need much from that panel.

it's a pity that we cannot easily add content ANYWHERE as if there where layers 
(with canvas for example) :(

maybe i try with degrafa...i guess it might be able to do something like that 
with it :)

ok try doing this or you can post some code. So override the layoutchrome 
method call the super function on it and in that method positon your icon and 
do the setChildIndex( icon, int). Now About the icon being the lastChild like

[flexcoders] text markup - please help

[natjai]

Hello,
  I have a text paragraph (dynamic content) which contain certain words 
(need to be underlined) that need to respond to mouseover (or click) 
that pops open a datagrid/list. I can imagine constructing the 
paragraph with bunch of dynamically positioned textfields (some of 
which) that respond to mouse over/click. Is there a better way (like 
html markup text) I apologize if this is not a flexish issue and hence 
doesn't belong here. 

Thanks for any response,

[flexcoders] Anybody found a workaround for this compiler bug?

[Kevin Benz]

This is sapping our productivity and wondered if anybody had seen this
or had any ideas? I certainly see the association with Font rendering as
the obvious first instinct would be to question the font file however
with two machines seeing the same behavior, a wider look seems
appropriate. There is Away3D in the project and we do take the TVNord
font and render the SVG in order to support text overlaying on a 3D
plane. Since the Clean always resolves the issue, I doubt that the
base font file is the issue.

 

We currently see this on 2 developer workstations, one a Mac, one a PC.
The only way to get around this is to clean all the projects in the
Workspace (this is part of an application where we have an Air project
and 3 support library projects. Doing a Clean of the Workspace allows
us to get past this (until you need to build again). 

 

KFB

 

The problem is documented in the Adobe Bug System FB-13828.

[Robert Thompson]

I like you're opinion.

Except the part about IBM and Microsoft developing similarly.

I'm not a Microsoft lover, but I used to be, long story.  But since  
I've recovered from the Ballmer dance most seen on YouTube, I kind of  
like them now.  I've done 4 ASP.Net projects, and 2 very large VB.Net  
projects.  My problem with MS in the 90's was them taking applications  
written by the ISVs that made them popular, and including them one by  
one as time went on, in the OS itself.   The worst of this came in the  
SUN v Microsoft debate.  To actually see in discovery that they hacked  
Java so it would perform poorly.  Hopefully most of those people are  
gone by now, and I hope, though will never know, that Gates now having  
a family has changed his outlook on how he treats young grads. coming  
out of college to start small businesses or freelance.


With Adobe and Scene7.com, do to their great Imaging applications and  
history with users using applications like Lightroom, is see a very  
real close together magnet here (as an analogy IBM, Microsoft and  
others do highly sophisticated contracts that only they could do and  
as far as a gauge for us being in the middle of 2 attracting magnets;  
one being IBM for example and the other being the company we'd like to  
serve; the magnets are far apart).   But with Adobe those magnets are  
very close together, and I see a very user friendly E-Commerce system  
that almost directly mirrors the Adobe Hybrid Store, or the Full  
Store, only even better, and incorporating possibly Edge and Grid  
computing, as well as what Scene7 really was, as that is the way they  
can color images.


So Adobe is on the road to producing an extremely easy to use  
eCommerce application for the masses, and we will be left with  
applications in other areas.  But as time goes by, this will narrow  
more and more.  I've been in the business since 1988 when IBM chose me  
over 8 other graduate applicants (and I was the only other undergrad  
applicant) for a Windows project for an ATM Performance Analyzer with  
the EE Dept.  I was chosen because I showed up for the Interview with  
the application 50% done.


So I went into Windows and I have to be careful about my story, but  
there is a public article not of my doing here at FedCir Federal  
Circuit / only I had to bow out because since I first met with them  
in August of 2001 the following day I had a seizure and I've had a  
seizure condition every since.  Life is no longer a long and winding  
yellow brook road for me, I'm doing things in music that help  
Epilepsy, my SWF and CoreAudio, etc. development for the future will  
be my future as I'm on Medicaid now.  However, I did eventually get a  
great eCommerce platform done, and it will last  probably a year or so  
and I'll get a client when I can (my income is capped anyway) and it  
will be worth little after Scene7 is out for a few years.


So I have a very large perspective on this, and it isn't looking  
pretty.


If you research my past posts, you'll find extreme excitement by me  
about AIR, asking Adobe to find a way to integrate OpenGL before  
Silverlight leveraged DirectX against it.


Now I feel differently.  The CEO resigned last Fall, and whoever is in  
charge now has a different plan that effects us developers.


Scene7 attorneys, as far as I know, are Thompson Reuters in NYC and  
Mary A. Fracis is the executing attorney on some of their issues, and  
I've called her as well as people at Scene7 twice to get more clear on  
the issues.


The 2nd call to Scene7 made very very clear that they do intend to do  
exactly what I felt they would, only they call it eCataloging which  
is a pre-cursor to doing anything eCommerce with the special imaging  
that Scene7 does on, for example, changing the color of a sweater.   
The difference is, Adobe is not bringing this to us as far as I was  
told, they are, and I asked directly, So is it possible that Adobe  
could bid against another company using FLEX to do a contract for a  
company? (I used a shoe company earlier because Nike is one of their  
many, many clients).


I'm not worried about bidding on Fortune 500, I'm worried about the  
more and more often complaint of users who know more and more about  
what's going on saying, No, I just bought Scene7 LE, for example, and  
it makes it so easy.  I don't need any custom development.


This single step that Adobe has taken has totally blurred the line  
that would have never been blurred at Macromedia, Adobe is now both a  
Premiere Imaging Firm, and a Firm using the very programming tools it  
sells, not to integrate into a big operating system, but to Bid on  
contracts using it, even against their own developer community, and in  
the long run, AIR is virtually a lightweight operating system of  
global proportions.


My thinking is that the new CEO of Adobe has lust in his eyes, but I  
don't know that for a fact because I've never seen him.


All I 

Re: [flexcoders] OpenLaszlo.org supports Flex, Silverlight, AJAX, soon Quicktime, and also DHTML and W3C

[Robert Thompson]

Actually the rumor was and may still be that Apple will buy Adobe.

Now that would be good news to me.

Steven Jobs is the one figure I've been following since I was a kid.

Out of all the CEO's from the old Borland, to Microsoft, to Zinc (when  
AOL was a little DOS app.), he seems to be the only one to maintain a  
calm integrity and come out on top.


You can see it when he gives a speech.

Steve Ballmer when to school here in my home state of Michigan and  
Country Day Prep academy (unfortunately with my attorney when to  
school with him at the same time in my thing which is described not  
by me but by someone writing about the Federal Circuit of appeals;  
they went to school together in '72 '74) and Ballmer is still on the  
board.


Can you ever imagine the cool and calm Jobs doing a dance like Steve  
Ballmer did - the contrast is amazing to anyone who's Scene7 or more  
Jobs' speeches.


In any event, I put Apple over every other company -- that's just me  
-- may not be others, so it's all good, don't flame me.


But I've spent nearly $5,000 on Adobe software and I'd like to return  
every bit of it if this chosen date by them of Sept. 11th Webinar  
proves to be what I think it is.


I'm sure they're listening and may put a spin on it, but please, for  
your own sakes, do not trust any Corporations words, trust only the  
Actions they take.  Take it from a 40 year old telling a 20-25 year  
old, please use your talents wisely and be careful who you dedicate  
yourself too.  Ultimately, you should dedicate yourself to you and  
your family, if you have one, and take the route that will keep your  
investment in time and money safe.  If your a 9-5'er, and I know a lot  
of them in this Big3 area, there are different kinds of risks, that  
have a lot less to do with Flex (usually those are the people that had  
bosses shell out the $20,000 or so, I forget the exact price, for FLEX  
1.0).

 There is a different way to look at this. Right now, Flash is  
still just

 and on-line technology in the view of most people. Even though AIR
 does a lot of things, people still don't think it is very important.
 Similar problem that Microsoft had with VB being considered only a
 desktop tech and almost none taking it seriously as a server until
 Microsoft built server based applications.

 For me, Mass appeal of AIR is huge! It would mean that I can push  
Flex
 as a Desktop as well as a Web application. It becomes the  
replacement

 for VB and .net which then lets me solidify the build once/deploy
 everywhere that we have been talking about since the early Java  
days.


 I understand your concern that Adobe is doing similar things as  
you are

 however, Micorsoft, IBM, Oracle and most others also make a lot of
 applications that are similar to what their developers build also.  
The

 difference is customization as well as usage. I think if Adobe can
 produce good desktop and Web applications that we can showcase, we  
will
 be able to move the market away from Microsoft and Sun and  
increase the

 viability of using Flex in corporations.

 For me, at my company we were choosing between Silverlight,  
JavaFX, Doja
 and Flex. It was the fact that Microsoft had released Photoshop  
Express

 that helped to sell Flex.

Scary. Microsoft just bought Adobe. Shriek!

The development world is big and Adobe consulting doesn't come  
cheap, so I
think there's those that can afford the cream of the crop no matter  
what the
cost and then there's the rest of the world that have budgets, so  
there's

always going to be room for everyone.

 the CEO of Adobe resigned about the same time, and now we have a

I agree, I doubt it would happen, and MS isn't very successful at  
buying out large companies due to perceived risk of getting into a  
Sherman Act type of thing again.


I'd rather Apple not also, I'm abandoning Adobe unless I hear  
something different.


If I can't get my money back from purchases, I'll just let it go, and  
do Audio Unit and NVIDIA CUDO programming on Mac OS X.  I have an 8- 
core 3.4, 32GB, 4 bay 300GBx15krpm RAID0, dual 30 with NVIDIA 5500.


The things that I'm working on as an accepted CUDO developer are  
amazing.


I hope to encourage Papervision3D to add support for CUDO and to go  
out on their own and develop their own plug-in.


NOW is the perfect TIME for Papervision3D to do this, not later.

I'd be a happy camper then and hide 9 of my fingers for a second a

But I've spent nearly $5,000 on Adobe software and I'd like to  
return every bit of it if this chosen date by them of Sept. 11th  
Webinar proves to be what I think it is.


I'm sure they're listening and may put a spin on it, but please, for  
your own sakes, do not trust any Corporations words, trust only the  
Actions they take.  Take it from a 40 year old telling a 20-25 year  
old, please use your talents wisely and be careful who you dedicate  
yourself too.  Ultimately, you should dedicate yourself to you and  
your family, if you have one, and take the route that will keep your  
investment in time and money safe.  If your a 9-5'er, and I know a  
lot of them in this Big3 area, there are different kinds of risks,  
that have a lot less to do with Flex (usually those are the people  
that had bosses shell out the $20,000 or so, I forget the exact  
price, for FLEX 1.0).

 There is a different way to look at this. Right now, Flash is  
still just
 and on-line technology in the view of most people. Even though  
AIR
 does a lot of things, people still don't think it is very  
important.

 Similar problem that Microsoft had with VB being considered only a
 desktop tech and almost none taking it seriously as a server until
 Microsoft built server based applications.

 For me, Mass appeal of AIR is huge! It would mean that I can push  
Flex
 as a Desktop as well as a Web application. It becomes the  
replacement

 for VB and .net which then lets me solidify the build once/deploy
 everywhere that we have been talking about since the early Java  
days.


 I understand your concern that Adobe is doing similar things as  
you are

 however, Micorsoft, IBM, Oracle and most others also make a lot of
 applications that are similar to what their developers build  
also. The

 difference is customization as well as usage. I think if Adobe can
 produce good desktop and Web applications that we can showcase,  
we will
 be able to move the market away from Microsoft and Sun and  
increase the

 viability of using Flex 

[flexcoders] Restraining chart as Module within a Panel

[Mic]

I have a canvas with 4 panels inside it. Each panel takes up a quarter
of the canvas. When I populate the panels with modules that are
charts, the modules are not constrained within the outer containers -
the panels, but each chart module fills almost the whole canvas. How
do I get the modules to stay within their parent containers? TIA,

Mic.

RE: [flexcoders] Printing Problems

[Alex Harui]

I'm surprised you aren't getting an error or warning in the console.  I think 
the use of callLater doesn't work during a printjob and the job might 
eventually timeout (see Flash Player's printing classes for timeout limits).  
Usually, all external data needs to be pre-loaded and the whole print page 
needs to have some validateNow call and send() right in the loop.  You can't 
put things off.  It is actually a bug in FP that you can't defer work.  I'm 
hoping they'll fix it someday, but it didn't make FP10.

Subject: [flexcoders] Printing Problems


Would anyone be able to tell me why the following code creates a blank
page. I am using Flex 3 on Mac OS 10.5

I am able to add the custom printing compoent to the application, the
print dialog opens and it looks to be processing the print, however, I
am left with 2 blank pages when it is done. In addition, it crashes
Firefox when the print job is complete. I have added some of the ideas
presented in this group, however, can not seem to find any additional
information on the web about this problem. Has anyone overcome the issue.

The function I am using to print is as follows

private function printDailyManpowerList(event:MouseEvent):void {
var printJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob(); //create flex
print job
if (printJob.start() != true){
return;
}
var dailyPrint:DailyManpowerListPrintView = new
DailyManpowerListPrintView(); //create new print component
this.parentApplication.addChild(dailyPrint);
printJob.addObject(dailyPrint);
callLater(printJob.send); //start print
this.parentApplication.removeChild(dailyPrint);//remove component from
container
}

The code for the DailyManpowerListPrintView is

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:VBox xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
xmlns:views=com.dynamicmedicalventures.De2ORApplication.views.*

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Keydownhandler fires twice for each keystroke

[Alex Harui]

If you override keyDownHandler, you shouldn't need to call addEventListener 
since the base class will.

I found a little more information.

This undesireable feature, aka bug manifests itself only if you
make the combobox editable.

I removed the editable=true and the problem goes away.

RE: [flexcoders] text markup - please help

You can use html markup.  See flash.text.TextField for the subset of html tags 
it uses.

I do not think you can do that with the current Flash Player 9 but maybe with 
10. There were a couple of threads a while ago about the same thing and there 
wasn't a real solution on this but I might be imagining things and be wrong.

Hello,
I have a text paragraph (dynamic content) which contain certain words
(need to be underlined) that need to respond to mouseover (or click)
that pops open a datagrid/list. I can imagine constructing the
paragraph with bunch of dynamically positioned textfields (some of
which) that respond to mouse over/click. Is there a better way (like
html markup text) I apologize if this is not a flexish issue and hence
doesn't belong here.

Thanks for any response,
