Re: [flexcoders] Re: Subclassing Components: Theoretical Question
Sure go nuts, DisplayObject exposes all visual children, you can create any kind of decorator you want really, although it'll have to understand the internals of anything you want to decorate. Obviously the component and skinning model could have been better, that's why it's different in Gumbo.

[flexcoders] Re: Subclassing Components: Theoretical Question
This is the problem with inheritance, and the reason because IMO one shouldn't subclass too quickly, but prefer composition over inheritance when possible. Especially for visual components, maybe some framework that helps to separate state and behaviours from pure graphics (openflux?) could help.

[flexcoders] flex/AIR book reviews
I'm on the hunt for some new AIR Flex 3 books, nothing basic so I'm looking for some recommendations. I know there is a list on flex.org but its linked to amazon and you normally find that the first review or so always gives 4 or 5 out of 5 and I'd rather trust reviews from folk that are actual flex coders. So if you can recommend anything or pass on a link to a reliable review site that would be great. I think I've asked for this kind of info 1-2 years ago, but can't find anything in the archives.

[flexcoders] HELP non coder With First Site ??? Tips? Idea's of things I should look into :(
Hi Everyone, I have only posted once or twice before, and feel there is far too many messages from flexcoders to keep up with all the news...maybe there is a better place to try to get help. But anyway here goes. I have cobbled together my first FLex site. http://www.visual-image.co.uk/visualimg.html and I know there are many issues, the ones I know about and need to look into are evident. first off i need to change the index page back to index or main, as the site isnt getting picked up. I think I will add the collapsable super panel so I can add a few more panels, but it would be nice to get them(or the components/modules) to appear when a navigation button was pressed, but hey I can live without it for now as that seems too deep to get help with at this moment in time. The refresh on certain pages doesn't seem to work properly(maybe a Yahoo hosting issue??), though if i run it on my HD locally its fine. Maybe I should add some kind of code throught the app? Sure I know I should split the app up into components, to get it to run faster, but haven't really got my head round that yet, or how to split it into modules. Maybe the Pano's could be loaded as modules they are stand alone swf's THe Panoramic page, has been a real pain, as at first these Pano's Never worked at all(sandiebox violations), now only some of them do, Some crash Flex when looading, and the positioning is a little hit and miss, Perhaps thats why some people are using Papervision 3D, but at first I thought it was because they also contained some extra code layers of graphics.. they seem to work on a panel but not in a viewstack. Sometimes i copy one to another page or app with same settings and it doesn't work??? Sure would be nice to organise the images so they zoom on mouse over (or something) But return to the same place, and not push all the other images all over the screen, perhaps they all need to be on seperate layers, then move to front???

Re: [flexcoders] HELP non coder With First Site ??? Tips? Idea's of things I should look into :(
Hi John, It's good to see someone so enthusiastic about Flex, but my advice would be to take several steps back rather than attempt to build such a complex site as a first project. I think it would be best to try and build a one or two page site and then expand from that.

Re: [flexcoders] LCDS + CF : How can I change bean's property of new version on creation?
Shigeru, when you create new items , a refill is made to your collection and it will compare it with the previous fill, so since you didn't update the hoge property, it won't be reflected in your refill. If you do this instead cfset new.hoge = 123 cfset new = dao.create(new) cfset co.setNewVersion(new) cfset co.processed() your hoge will be committed to the db and will be reflected in the result of the fill. -- João Fernandes Adobe Community Expert http://www.onflexwithcf.org http://www.riapt.org Portugal Adobe User Group (http://aug.riapt.org)

[flexcoders] Adding effects to a list on filtering
Hii, How can we add effects while we apply the filterfunction to a list. First, Is that possible to add effects/transitions ?? Second, how can we achieve this?

[flexcoders] RadioButton Set selectedValue
I have a form Item which contains RadioButtonGroup and a Repeater
which dynamically loads up RadioButtons from model data, it is inside
a VBox container:
mx:FormItem direction=horizontal
mx:Label text=Status:/
mx:RadioButtonGroup id=statusType
selectedValue={model.selectedValuation.valuationAdmin.valuation_statu
s}/
mx:Repeater id=valStatus
dataProvider={listModel.allValuationStatuses}
mx:RadioButton id=vs group={statusType}
label={valStatus.currentItem.title}/
/mx:Repeater
/mx:FormItem
On creationComplete() I call init() which in turn calls
loadUserInfo(). Here I call selectedValStatus and pass on selected
data from model:
private function loadUserInfo():void{
if(model.selectedValuation.valuation_administration != null){
selectedValStatus(model.selectedValuation.valuation_administration.val
uation_status);
}
}
selectedValStatus() takes the data object passed to it, loops over the
model list data and then checks to see if the model list data is
equivalent to the data.title property, where i then set the selected
value of the radio group:
private function selectedValStatus(data:Object):void{
if(listModel.allValuationStatuses != null){
for(var i:int = 0; ilistModel.allValuationStatuses.length; i++){
var item:ArrayCollection = listModel.allValuationStatuses;
if(data != null){
if(item.title == data.title){
statusType.selectedValue = data.title;
}
}
}
}
}
The Behavior:
Data is present on creation complete.
I have another radio group using the same code architecture that works
perfectly, is in same form.
On the form load the radio button is not selected.
On a view index change and then return the button is selected
properly.
Thanks!

[flexcoders] Tile with custom component and AmfPhp
Hello EveryBody !
I have a custom component (News) which is called after retrieving
datas from a db with amfphp.
Datas are ok and put in an ArrayCollection (getNewsArray).
But when I make an AddChild(news) to a Tile component within a loop,
only the first two results
show up ???
I have to click again on the firing button to get the third result,
and click again to get the fourth !
Thx for any idea !
Code snippet below :
News Component :
mx:Canvas xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; width=480
height=230 creationComplete=initNews() creationPolicy=all
mx:Label id=lbl_titre_news x=10 y=10 fontWeight=bold/

mx:Label id=lbl_aut_news x=10 y=203 fontStyle=italic/
mx:Image id=img_news x=313 y=36 width=157 height=118/
/mx:Canvas
Action Script :
private function afficheNews():void
{
for ( var i:int=0; i getNewsArray.length; i++ )
{
news = new News();
//I call the addChild here because otherwise the children of my News
component
are not yet created... I guess the problem is here, but don't know how
to solve it :-(
ti_news.addChild( news );
news.lbl_titre_news.text = getNewsArray[i].titre_news;
news.txta_news.text = getNewsArray[i].txt_news;
news.lbl_aut_news.text = getNewsArray[i].aut_news;
if ( getNewsArray[i].src_img != null )
{
news.img_news.source = getNewsArray[i].src_img;
}
else
{
news.img_news.visible = false;
news.txta_news.width = 460;
}
}
}
Main Application :
mx:Tile id=ti_news direction=vertical y=35
/mx:Tile

[flexcoders] Problem: liveScrolling doesn't work!
Hey everyone,
I have a weird problem: I am using a TileList and I want to disable
liveScrolling so I set it to false. Unfortunately this didn't work
moreover live scrolling is still working even when I have the mouse
positioned very far from my TileList. I just want to mention that I
have set horizontalScrollPolicy=off verticalScrollPolicy=off and I
am programmatically scrolling to a certain position
verticalScrollPosition={pos} (of course by setting pos).
Any idea of what is happening? Thank you in advance!

[flexcoders] Re: RadioButton Set selectedValue
Might just be a timing issue Doug. Have you tried callLater()?
Otherwise, maybe set
model.selectedValuation.valuationAdmin.valuation_status to the
correct value, instead of setting the selectedValue directly; since
it's bound.

[flexcoders] Repeater children
I'm trying to use a repeater to configure n different bars in a foo
(e.g., in pseudo-code
foo
bars:Array = [ { bar1, bar2, bar3 ];
...
where each bar is something like
bar
label:String
baz:String
...
)
each of the bars has a baz that can be one of five different Strings. My
current approach is to use a repeater:
mx:Script
![CDATA[
protected function handleBarBoxInit(e:Event):void {
var barBox:ComboBox = e.currentTarget as ComboBox;
var bazArray:Array = getValidBazes(barRptr.currentItem);
barBox.dataProvider = bazArray;
barBox.selectedIndex = bazArray.indexOf(barRptr.currentItem.baz);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Repeater id=barRptr dataProvider={dataProvider.bars}
mx:FormItem label={'Change baz of bar \'' + barRptr.currentItem.label
+ '\' to '}
mx:ComboBox initialize=handleBarBoxInit(event)/
/mx:FormItem
/mx:Repeater
...
This works very nicely for displaying the correct controls with the
current baz of each bar, but I'm not sure how to come up with a clean
way to harvest the settings of each combobox when updating the set. I
don't want to directly listen to each ComboBox CHANGE event because I
want to have update/cancel functionality for the entire group. Is there
a way of doing this cleaner than iterating over the children of barRptr
(presumably FormItems) and doing getChildAt(0) to get the ComboBoxes?

Re: [flexcoders] Repeater children
Of course, the searching pays off right *after* I post. If anyone else
is curious:
http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/05/29/displaying-checkbox-controls-using-the-repeater-in-flex/#more-650
It's kinda sneaky: you set the id of the repeated element as you usually
would, but instead of creating an element with that id, you get an array
of elements with that id, indexed by the order in which the Repeater
repeated them.

RE: [flexcoders] Note to someone at Adobe who is in charge of documentation
Jason, I know this wasn't really your point, which was about having better docs and not the TweenEffect API specifically, but for what it's worth: the new effects for the next release of Flex, along with the Animation class (which is used instead of Tween), avoid the use of Function handles for easing and update/end handlers. Instead, we use interfaces for easing (and for type interpolation, a new concept in the effects). And events are sent through event handlers. Hopefully this all makes it more explicit what's happening to whom and what developers need to know about it... Chet. From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pan Troglodytes Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2008 9:32 AM To: flexcoders Subject: [flexcoders] Note to someone at Adobe who is in charge of documentation Hopefully, someone who reads this can maybe forward it or mention it to someone who is in the documentation department. My biggest problem with the documentation is when it comes to function signatures. Unfortunately in ActionScript, function signatures are not typeable. If I was using Delphi, I could define TMyEventCallback = function (param1: String, param2: Integer):Boolean; So properties always just take a Function and it's up to the developer to figure out what the function should look like. Okay, I can deal with that, given proper documentation. But so many times in the docs, no function signature is listed. I understand that it's hard to create docs while the SDK is still under development, however there are plenty of examples of it in code that shipped with 2.0. For example, from TweenEffect: easingFunction property public var easingFunction:Function../../Function.html = null The easing function for the animation. The easing function is used to interpolate between the initial value and the final value. A trivial easing function would simply do linear interpolation, but more sophisticated easing functions create the illusion of acceleration and deceleration, which makes the animation seem more natural. If no easing function is specified, an easing function based on the Math.sin() method is used. The easing function follows the function signature popularized by Robert Penner. The function accepts four arguments. The first argument is the current time, where the animation start time is 0. The second argument is the initial value at the beginning of the animation (a Number). The third argument is the ending value minus the initial value. The fourth argument is the duration of the animation. The return value is the interpolated value for the current time. This is usually a value between the initial value and the ending value. The value of this property must be a function object. Flex includes a set of easing functions in the mx.effects.easing package. This documentation is strange in that a paragraph is dedicated to describing the function signature, when just putting a function (currentTime:Number, startValue:Number, endValueMinusStartValue:Number, duration:Number):Number alone would have been far more useful than the whole paragraph. I'm not saying to ditch the paragraph, but a code examples is almost always preferable. Especially since that paragraph forgot to specify that the last two params and teh return param should be a Number. This was inferable from context in this case, but it is not always. These omissions tend to send me on a code hunt, looking for some place in the SDK where the function is called. For easingFunction, this was quite a bit of digging until I finally found defaultEasingFunction in Tween.as. I could put this in as a bug/enhancement, but it just seems like that falls short. I'd really just like to see more of a focus on doing it properly the first time and possibly doing a review of all documentation that mentions a property or method that involves a type Function. -- Jason

[flexcoders] Re: SWFLoader unloading, whats the trick?
Ok, I went ahead and added some manual clean up to the swf's I was
loading using Event.UNLOAD. I'm basically setting values to null so
they become candidates for garbage collection. Regardless, each time I
load a file into SWFLoader the mem usage still jumps until the app
becomes sluggish and ultimately unresponsive. I noticed the following
bug (http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-13097) and I'm assuming
that is the issue I'm having.
As I workaround I'm loading a single swf into SWFLoader and then
having the loaded swf handle the loading of other external swf files
itself. The class for something like this is as such:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
public class LoaderSWF extends MovieClip{
private var loader:Loader;
public function LoaderSWF() : void {
loader = new Loader();
addChild(loader);
}
public function loadSWF(path){
trace(loadSWF(, path, ));
var r:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
r.url = path;
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,
progressHandler);
loader.load(r);

Alex thanks for the additional info.
swfloader.content.stop() prior to setting a new source in this case
managed to stop the next swf at the beginning once it loaded. Not sure
why this happened.
I did a bit of testing here and as far as I can tell when a
MovieClip's loaderInfo dispatches an Event.UNLOAD the MovieClip itself
has already been de-referenced.
The timeline audio continues to play however. I've managed to fix this
problem (although this seems a bit of a hack) by calling
SoundMixer.stopAll() in the unload handler. I somehow doubt that this
actually deletes the Sound objects that were created so my guess is
that this could cause a big leak if many SWF's with timeline audio
were being loaded over and over. Perhaps the same problem would
persist even with SWF' with manually instantiated audio?
Here's my quick fix.
MovieClip(event.target.content).loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.UNLOAD,
unloadHandler);
private function unloadHandler(event:Event) : void {
SoundMixer.stopAll();

Of course, if you're about to set the SWFLoader's source you can
certainly call swfloader.content.stop() beforehand, but I think stop()
doesn't stop Audio/Video, just the frame timeline. You'll have to
have access to the loaded SWFs Sound instances which is why it is
better if the loaded SWF cleans up after itself.

Otherwise, maybe set
model.selectedValuation.valuationAdmin.valuation_status to the
correct value, instead of setting the selectedValue directly; since
it's bound.

I have another radio group using the same code architecture that

On the form load the radio button is not selected.
On a view index change and then return the button is selected

Hi Paul, I thought it was on one page :) No but seriously I understand your comment and agree with it, words are not really my thing either, they end up deeper than the site itself, its hard to focus when your trying to do everything. Is it, commercial is it personal, not sure :( will i ever get work from it, i doubt it, but I suppose it is just that a moving biz card. I think i will forget trying to poulate datagrids with my youtube stuff, especially now i have figured out how to add a video gallery, I can just put the files up on this site, making sure its all under one roof and cutting down the pages. I think all I really need is a good image gallery, and a better video gallery... or simply a better media widget that would do everthing, including showing the panoramic swf's and maybe an rss feed or two... Slowly it will evolve to be.. less is more Ok thanks for the tip, the trouble with most of the components out there is, they work as is on their own but when i try to add them they can mess up.. One thing is for sure I do love flex, and cant wait for thermo. As i dont know how to code much, I thought instead of learning all the other languages I could take a top down approach, MXML doesnt look too much different than the others to me, but it is slotting into place, and the power look of the thing is enough to make other people who know less than i do, think I am the shit with web design :) But my biggest problem is I do want to do too much, and I am worried by offering x and then not being able to deliver, and having loads of issues..

Idea's of things I should look into :( Hi Everyone, I have only posted once or twice before, and feel there is far too many messages from flexcoders to keep up with all the news...maybe there is a better place to try to get help. But anyway here goes. I have cobbled together my first FLex site. http://www.visual-image.co.uk/visualimg.html and I know there are many issues, the ones I know about and need to look into are evident. first off i need to change the index page back to index or main, as the site isnt getting picked up. I think I will add the collapsable super panel so I can add a few more panels, but it would be nice to get them(or the components/modules) to appear when a navigation button was pressed, but hey I can live without it for now as that seems too deep to get help with at this moment in time. The refresh on certain pages doesn't seem to work properly(maybe a Yahoo hosting issue??), though if i run it on my HD locally its fine. Maybe I should add some kind of code throught the app? Sure I know I should split the app up into components, to get it to run faster, but haven't really got my head round that yet, or how to split it into modules. Maybe the Pano's could be loaded as modules they are stand alone swf's THe Panoramic page, has been a real pain, as at first these Pano's Never worked at all(sandiebox violations), now only some of them do, Some crash Flex when looading, and the positioning is a little hit and miss, Perhaps thats why some people are using Papervision 3D, but at first I thought it was because they also contained some extra code layers of graphics.. they seem to work on a panel but not in a viewstack. Sometimes i copy one to another page or app with same settings and it doesn't work??? Sure would be nice to organise the images so they zoom on mouse over (or something) But return to the same place, and not push all the other images all over the screen, perhaps they all need to be on seperate layers, then move to front??? I dont know I am sure they could do wonderfull things. Those are my main issues, though I am sure further down the road I may try to get more help, just with those few issues I feel there is a lot to learn. Anyway I thank anyone in advance for any help, in the future I may recieve work that is beyond my skills, I would love to have some people I could work with to develop larger data driven projects. thanks ... johnvid

[flexcoders] Re: Datagrid - disable cell events?
I'm building an mp3 player and using the datagrid for the playlist. If a user selects a row in the datagrid, the corresponding track plays. If an mp3 is out of date or the url no longer works for a given track, I'd like to still show the track in the datagrid, but prevent the track from being clicked. I've been searching for a way to disable the click event for certain cells. I've successfully used itemRenderers to visually show that the user that the track is invalid by changing the background color of the cells, but cannot figure out the disabling aspect.

mx:Image source={data.image} width=50 height=50
scaleContent=true /
mx:Text width=100% text={data.title} /
/mx:HBox
/mx:Component

But this example is from a dataGrid and the var value has no value when using
this method in
a mx:List control.

another value from

Do you know if Class instances get GC'd? (as in instances of Class, not
general objs) I've noticed Player likes to collect SWFs awfully quickly
(even when there's *no* allocation), but I haven't done any experiments to
verify the classes get collected as well (or not) yet though, but it might
be weird if you're expecting a class to be around in order to
getDefinitionForName() it later :)

Ok, I went ahead and added some manual clean up to the swf's I was
loading using Event.UNLOAD. I'm basically setting values to null so
they become candidates for garbage collection. Regardless, each time I
load a file into SWFLoader the mem usage still jumps until the app
becomes sluggish and ultimately unresponsive. I noticed the following
bug (http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-13097) and I'm assuming
that is the issue I'm having.
As I workaround I'm loading a single swf into SWFLoader and then
having the loaded swf handle the loading of other external swf files
itself. The class for something like this is as such:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
public class LoaderSWF extends MovieClip{

loader = new Loader();
addChild(loader);
}
public function loadSWF(path){
trace(loadSWF(, path, ));
var r:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
r.url = path;
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,
progressHandler);
loader.load(r);
}
private function progressHandler(event:ProgressEvent) : void {

Alex thanks for the additional info.
swfloader.content.stop() prior to setting a new source in this case
managed to stop the next swf at the beginning once it loaded. Not sure
why this happened.
I did a bit of testing here and as far as I can tell when a
MovieClip's loaderInfo dispatches an Event.UNLOAD the MovieClip itself
has already been de-referenced.
The timeline audio continues to play however. I've managed to fix this
problem (although this seems a bit of a hack) by calling
SoundMixer.stopAll() in the unload handler. I somehow doubt that this
actually deletes the Sound objects that were created so my guess is
that this could cause a big leak if many SWF's with timeline audio
were being loaded over and over. Perhaps the same problem would
persist even with SWF' with manually instantiated audio?
Here's my quick fix.
MovieClip(event.target.content).loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.UNLOAD,
unloadHandler);
private function unloadHandler(event:Event) : void {
SoundMixer.stopAll();
}

Of course, if you're about to set the SWFLoader's source you can
certainly call swfloader.content.stop() beforehand, but I think stop()
doesn't stop Audio/Video, just the frame timeline. You'll have to
have access to the loaded SWFs Sound instances which is why it is
better if the loaded SWF cleans up after itself.

{
_data = value as DataGridColumn;
text = DataGridListData(listData).label ;
setStyle(textAlign,center);

[flexcoders] about keyboard operation in flex
I want only use keyboard to operation in flex. Just as Global keyboard event handling(http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/communityengine/index.cfm?event=showdetailsproductId=2postId=304) But,have some problem ,it need click anywhere in the application and then press some keys.But i don't want click anywhere ,direct operate with keyboard. How I can deal it ? Thanks.
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Datagrid - disable cell events?
Well, are you using the ITEM_CLICK event? If so, you can override dispatchEvent and look for it to be dispatched and not dispatch it. You can also listen for the event from the systemManager at a high priority in capture phase and call stopImmediatePropagation before it gets too far From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of horizens Sent: Friday, September 12, 2008 3:29 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Datagrid - disable cell events? I'm building an mp3 player and using the datagrid for the playlist. If a user selects a row in the datagrid, the corresponding track plays. If an mp3 is out of date or the url no longer works for a given track, I'd like to still show the track in the datagrid, but prevent the track from being clicked. I've been searching for a way to disable the click event for certain cells. I've successfully used itemRenderers to visually show that the user that the track is invalid by changing the background color of the cells, but cannot figure out the disabling aspect.
RE: [flexcoders] mx:List and custom item background colors
The value parameter in the data setter should have valid values, but at startup
it might get passed an unexpected value. I'd just check to make sure the data
is valid and ignore bad data and see if you get further and get valid values
later.

Subject: [flexcoders] mx:List and custom item background colors
I have been working at this for a few hours now. I have seen examples for
several list controls other than just mx:List.
I thought this example was the most promising to accomplish what I am trying to
do.
mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
mx:HBox paddingLeft=2
mx:Script
![CDATA[
override public function set data( value:Object ) : void {
super.data = value;
var today:Number = (new Date()).time;
var pubDate:Number = Date.parse(data.date);
if( pubDate today ) setStyle(backgroundColor,0xff99ff);
else setStyle(backgroundColor,0xff);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Image source={data.image} width=50 height=50 scaleContent=true /
mx:Text width=100% text={data.title} /
/mx:HBox
/mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer
But this example is from a dataGrid and the var value has no value when using
this method in
a mx:List control.
All I want to do is change the bacground color of the mx:HBox dependent on
another value from
data.
Any ideas?
RE: [flexcoders] Re: SWFLoader unloading, whats the trick?
Class instances get GC'd when their applicationDomain gets GC'd, which is
theoretically when there are no more references to that class instance or
instances of that class and unload() has been called on the Loader of that SWF.
I have not seen any unexpected behavior in that area.
If a SWF is loaded into the loading SWFs applicationDomain (like RSLs), there
is no way to unload those classes. If a SWF is loaded into a child
applicationDomain of the loading SWF, then that child applicationDomain can be
GC'd.
Modules call unload() right away so they get punted as soon as you are done
referencing the module, otherwise we'd need some API where you'd have to
remember to call unload().
SWFLoader SWFs don't unload until you load some other SWF with it or set its
source to null.
If you've loaded a module SWF and haven't created an instance of the module
class and have no other references to a moduleInfo, that module is likely to be
collected pretty quickly. Is that what you're seeing? Otherwise, someone
should have to call unload() first.

Alex,
Do you know if Class instances get GC'd? (as in instances of Class, not general
objs) I've noticed Player likes to collect SWFs awfully quickly (even when
there's *no* allocation), but I haven't done any experiments to verify the
classes get collected as well (or not) yet though, but it might be weird if
you're expecting a class to be around in order to getDefinitionForName() it
later :)

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: SWFLoader unloading, whats the trick?
Ok, I went ahead and added some manual clean up to the swf's I was
loading using Event.UNLOAD. I'm basically setting values to null so
they become candidates for garbage collection. Regardless, each time I
load a file into SWFLoader the mem usage still jumps until the app
becomes sluggish and ultimately unresponsive. I noticed the following
bug (http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-13097) and I'm assuming
that is the issue I'm having.
As I workaround I'm loading a single swf into SWFLoader and then
having the loaded swf handle the loading of other external swf files
itself. The class for something like this is as such:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
public class LoaderSWF extends MovieClip{
private var loader:Loader;
public function LoaderSWF() : void {
loader = new Loader();
addChild(loader);
}
public function loadSWF(path){
trace(loadSWF(, path, ));
var r:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
r.url = path;
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,
progressHandler);
loader.load(r);
}
private function progressHandler(event:ProgressEvent) : void {
trace(bytesLoaded= + event.bytesLoaded + bytesTotal= +
event.bytesTotal);
}
}
}

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: SWFLoader unloading, whats the trick?
Alex thanks for the additional info.
swfloader.content.stop() prior to setting a new source in this case
managed to stop the next swf at the beginning once it loaded. Not sure
why this happened.
I did a bit of testing here and as far as I can tell when a
MovieClip's loaderInfo dispatches an Event.UNLOAD the MovieClip itself
has already been de-referenced.
The timeline audio continues to play however. I've managed to fix this
problem (although this seems a bit of a hack) by calling
SoundMixer.stopAll() in the unload handler. I somehow doubt that this
actually deletes the Sound objects that were created so my guess is
that this could cause a big leak if

RE: [flexcoders] about keyboard operation in flex
That is a limitation of the browsers. They control focus and a click is required. Some folks have done extensive work to capture keystrokes in javascript and forward them to the player, but most folks simply put up some UI to encourage users to click on the app. From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of qiyadsy Sent: Friday, September 12, 2008 7:48 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] about keyboard operation in flex I want only use keyboard to operation in flex.
