Re: [flexcoders] Dynamicaly loading of images
Hi, i use the SuperImage component now. Works fine.

This happens even i used the same source-url before. My guess would be that my application forgetts the imagedata if no object uses it anymore and therefore loads the url again.

[flexcoders] SWFLoader: access its contents right away
Hi all, I am new in this group, so hello to everyone :-) I want to discuss here about SWFLoader component in Flex 3, and how to access their contents... programatically. Just for short: I have an existing, empty SWFLoader object in my MXML code. After some time, I just want to populate it using SWFLoader.load() method with an external SWF movie, that has child MovieClips inside. Right after call the .load() method, I am insterested (in the same function) to access its children to move positions, etc. So, if I do something like: var myloader:SWFLoader= this.swfload; and then myloader.load(shelf2.swf); and then myloader.content[s2].alpha=0.3; It does not work at all. I tried myloader.addEventListener(...) with several events, does not work. The only way was to put that myloader.content[s2].alpha... inside a setTimeout function, to allow SWFLoader to take some time to load. But you agree with me that this is so dirty. any ideas? Thanks to everyone!
Re: [flexcoders] load fla file into web UI then edit image inside it
Well, first you need to implement some backend programming which will read a FLA file. You can try opening an FLA file with Notepad or maybe as a ZIP Archive... I'm not sure which format the FLA type follows, if it even has a format. Once you 'get in' to the FLA file's contents, you'll have to find the one you're looking for. After that, you should save it to a file on your server. Once that's done, send a value to your Flex client containing a link to the image file/the text. Edit the text, send it back and have middleware do the saving into the FLA file. Edit the Image, save it as an image with middleware to your server, then have your middleware insert the edited image into the FLA file. Creating a remote Flash IDE is a pretty ambitious task.

Re: [flexcoders] load fla file into web UI then edit image inside it
supposedly you would be able to do something like that with flash's new file format, xfl (not with flas): http://www.moock.org/blog/archives/000269.html I haven't touched cs4 or heard anything more about xfl so that's all i have on that. You *might* be able to pull something off with jsfl, but I think you'd still need to open the fla in the IDE in order to run the jsfl script.

[flexcoders] Flex htmlText component
Hello all, I thought I could use the Accordion panel to nicely layout a collection of poems. The problem is getting the poetry to layout on the page right. I sure could use some tips on this. I have an Accordion wrapped in a Panel container. That's not the issue. The issue is the actual text block that holds the text of the poems. I have in mind either: mx:Text mx:text Line 1, Line 2... ... /mx:text /mx:Text or mx:Text mx:htmlText ![CDATA[ Line 1, Line 2... ...]] /mx:htmlText /mx:Text Neither of these really works so well. When you use the CDATA block, well, it counts every space, whereas regular html would ignore the extra spaces. Theoretically, this is doable but it would be very sloppy. I'd have to run it all together like this: Line 1br/Line 2br /Text for line 3br/.. Even that doesn't work because as soon as you hit the return key, that throws off the formatting and layout. Using the first option makes it impossible to have any control over how the lines break. Using the regular text tag runs everything together as a paragraph. So, far, as I thought of this, it seems that the only option is to put the text of the poem into an image. So, then I'd have inside each accordion panel an image or two images that contain the text of the poems (two images if I wanted two columns for the display of the poem. Can anyone think of anything else or any other ideas for this? I'm open to other suggestions for laying out a poem in Flex. I saw this FlexBook that gave me this idea. The FlexBook would take some time to accomplish so I thought I'd try something easier first as I'm still new and want to add to my skills and accomplishments in Flex. In that FlexBook, it seems that every page is an image. So, maybe that is how you have to layout pages of text when you want it to look just so. I do welcome suggestions as to how I might approach this. Thanks, Bruce Bruce Whealton

[flexcoders] AdvancedDataGrid update problems
I'm facing a problem where an advanced data grid (adg) with a hierarchical collection (~500-1000 rows) doesn't redraw properly after sorting is applied to the underlying collection. The fun bit is that it isn't reproduceable. The occurance seems to be completely random but somehow related to sorting, as it seems to rear it's head only then (but not always). Scrolling after the adg is messed up doesn't improve it either, but at some point causes null reference exceptions onMouseRollOver. The advanced data grid is in a minimiziable container. If the container is minimized and then restored, the adg looks normal again (ie. redraws correctly). Although this rarely happens on my dev machine it happens more often for our customers, which might indicate that it's more frequent on slower machines. I'm looking for any clue or people who have also experienced this weird behaviour in adg. Thanks.

So, far, as I thought of this, it seems that the only option is to put the text of the poem into an image. So, then I'd have inside each accordion panel an image or two images that contain the text of the poems (two images if I wanted two columns for the display of the poem. Can anyone think of anything else or any other ideas for this? I'm open to other suggestions for laying out a poem in Flex. I saw this FlexBook that gave me this idea. The FlexBook would take some time to accomplish so I thought I'd try something easier first as I'm still new and want to add to my skills and accomplishments in Flex. In that FlexBook, it seems that every page is an image. So, maybe that is how you have to layout pages of text when you want it to look just so. I do welcome suggestions as to how I might approach this. Thanks, Bruce Bruce Whealton

--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I know I shouldn't step in here, but I'd like to ask for a cease- fire. Faithful Flex developers may know that Amy was the guinea pig for Gordon and my first article in Flex Authority magazine where we discussed the component lifecycle at length. It makes me happy to see that Amy has absorbed the ins and outs of the lifecycle and is now one of our top evangelists for how to use it. Michael has been providing expert advice on this forum for quite a while now, and I have seldom seen technical errors in his postings. The lifecycle is a set of rules and there are exceptions to every rule. I would bet that Michael has figured out where he can bend the rules successfully and isn't just being lucky, but others of you may want to just follow the rules. The original poster and others are encouraged to get their hands on a copy of Flex Authority and familiarize themselves with the lifecycle. Personally, I use createChildren to create any children I know I'm going to need. Everything else is created later depending on when I know enough about which ones and how many to make. ItemRenderers are created as late as updateDisplayList because that's when we know how many we need. Not to belabor the point, but I've extended a couple of components in ways where I needed access to the itemRenderers. And I'd argue that it would be flat impossible if you didn't make the source code available. Often you have to go up the inheritance chain several times to find the function that will work. Of course, a large part of the issue is that the freshly created itemRenderer is usually stored in a private variable, so even if there was a way to move the code that creates them to createChildren, it wouldn't help much. :-)

[flexcoders] Flash player 10 required for my swf?
Hello all, I had been getting reports from users that my widget swf was displaying the dialog This content requires Adobe Flash Player 10 but I could not reproduce it. I run and develop with Flash Player 9 installed. Other users that only had Flash player 9 installed also could run it without any problems. This morning I did a few changes to the widget, basically I embedded image resources at compile time rather than load them over the web at runtime. On the next debug run after the changes I started seeing the same dialog. I rolled back the changes but the dialog stays. The only way I was able to get the dialog to dissapear was to modify the html-template/index.template.html, remove the 'Flash Player Version Detection' Javascript and have just the embed code with the proper template tokens. The index.template.html tokens for ${version_major} ${version_minor} ${version_revision} always output 9 0 124 as expected. Not sure what criteria the 'Flash Player Version Detection' javascript is following. I am building my app using Flex Builder but its a Pure AS3 project, only Sprites and the Graphic object are used and the SDK is 3.1. I have distributed the html with the ''Flash Player Version Detection' along with my widget and I am now wondering how many users are seeing the dialog and not bothering to run the update. Is the lesson here not to use the 'Flash Player Version Detection' that ships with Flex Builder ? or am I running into a bug? Thanks, - Ivo

Until today I had not seen this dialog (I have 9.0.124 installed) and it was based on a trivial change.

Re: [flexcoders] Flash player 10 required for my swf?
I'm going to stand by my theory that it's going to ask for Flash 10 no matter what once it fails the detection script. But I'm at a loss as to why it's failing at all, unless users are confused between the different versions of Flash 9. But your test would seem to discredit user confusion. Report back if you figure anything out. On Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 3:44 PM, ivo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for your reply. My point is that I am not using any Flash Player 10 features, my dev build environment dont have Flash player 10 installed, I am building using the 3.1 SDK and the project is configured to target 9.0.124. The output swf passes QA for Flash Player 9. The 'Flash Detection Wrapper' is given the vars that the required version is 9.0.124. Only some users see the Flash Player 10 required dialog. Until today I had not seen this dialog (I have 9.0.124 installed) and it was based on a trivial change. To test again I reverted back to the index.template.html to the one supplied in Flex Builder and no Flash Player 10 required dialog appears anymore so I am not sure what is going on.

I think the detection script checks to see if you have the required version. If you don't, then it will tell you that you need the most recently released version of Flash regardless of what version the wrapper actually requires. This does cause confusion form a troubleshooting standpoint, but I'm guessing the reason is that adobe did this is that users would be more confused if it told them they needed flash 9 and gave them flash 10.

This morning I did a few changes to the widget, basically I embedded image resources at compile time rather than load them over the web at runtime. On the next debug run after the changes I started seeing the same dialog. I rolled back the changes but the dialog stays. The only way I was able to get the dialog to dissapear was to modify the html-template/ index.template. html, remove the 'Flash Player Version Detection' Javascript and have just the embed code with the proper template tokens. The index.template. html tokens for ${version_major} ${version_minor} ${version_revision} always output 9 0 124 as expected.

[flexcoders] Re: SWFLoader: access its contents right away
Hi, I recently did something like this. But it was more complicated because I was loading a swf from a different domain from it's parent. I needed to attach an event handler to the swf when SWFLoader was done loading. Then at some point, the loaded swf would broadcast an event, and the parent swf would be able to respond. Contrary to what the last poster said, I think you should consider listening for the Event.INIT, not Event.Complete broadcast by your SWFLoader. To determine which one you need, check descriptions of these two events in the Flex 3 Language Reference. Here's the meat of it: INIT is broadcast when the properties and methods of a loaded SWF file are accessible. COMPLETE is broadcast when content loading is complete. So, if you need to be able to access child movie clips, I'd say use INIT. Here's some code. Please note that both parent and child are Flex applications, yielding parent.swf and child.swf. In parent.swf: mySwfLoader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader(); mySwfLoader.addEventListener(Event.INIT, onInit); function onInit(event:Event):void { mySwfLoader.content.addEventListener(myEventName, onMyEventHandler); } function onMyEventHandler(event:Event):void { //do something } In child.swf: //broadcast events that parent.swf can respond to. systemManager.dispatch(new Event(myChild)); I found that when loading a Flex generated child.swf, mySwfLoader.content is a reference to the child.swf's systemManager property. So in order to broadcast events from my loaded swf, you needed to dispatch the event using the child application's systemManager property. Hence the last line of code. Hope that helps.

But it was more complicated because I was loading a swf from a different domain from it's parent. I needed to attach an event handler to the swf when SWFLoader was done loading. Then at some point, the loaded swf would broadcast an event, and the parent swf would be able to respond. Contrary to what the last poster said, I think you should consider listening for the Event.INIT, not Event.Complete broadcast by your SWFLoader. To determine which one you need, check descriptions of these two events in the Flex 3 Language Reference. Here's the meat of it: INIT is broadcast when the properties and methods of a loaded SWF file are accessible. COMPLETE is broadcast when content loading is complete. So, if you need to be able to access child movie clips, I'd say use INIT. Here's some code. Please note that both parent and child are Flex applications, yielding parent.swf and child.swf. In parent.swf: mySwfLoader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader(); mySwfLoader.addEventListener(Event.INIT, onInit); function onInit(event:Event):void { mySwfLoader.content.addEventListener(myEventName, onMyEventHandler); } function onMyEventHandler(event:Event):void { //do something } In child.swf: //broadcast events that parent.swf can respond to. systemManager.dispatch(new Event(myChild)); I found that when loading a Flex generated child.swf, mySwfLoader.content is a reference to the child.swf's systemManager property. So in order to broadcast events from my loaded swf, you needed to dispatch the event using the child application's systemManager property. Hence the last line of code. Hope that helps.

Just for short: I have an existing, empty SWFLoader object in my MXML code. After some time, I just want to populate it using SWFLoader.load() method with an external SWF movie, that has child MovieClips inside. Right after call the .load() method, I am insterested (in the same function) to access its children to move positions, etc. So, if I do something like: var myloader:SWFLoader= this.swfload; and then myloader.load(shelf2.swf); and then myloader.content[s2].alpha=0.3; It does not work at all. I tried myloader.addEventListener(...) with several events, does not work. The only way was to put that myloader.content[s2].alpha... inside a setTimeout function, to allow SWFLoader to take some time to load. But you agree with me that this is so dirty. any ideas? Thanks to everyone!
