Re: [flexcoders] Re: sqlite insert issue
thanks. I recalled last night that insert constraints are not enforced, the schema i took was taken directly from a postgre dump and all this work will be thrown out as soon as i create my db directly in java. but yeah, i will alter the schema. thanks for all the help from both of you.

When the AIR embedded db cannot find the affinity specified it defaults to NUMERIC. There is no affinity called timestamp (or bigint for that matter) and you are left with a NUMERIC affinity. In this case the string value of 2008-08... is being inserted into a field in which a NUMERIC value is expected. The embedded db in the AIR runtime makes an attempt to convert that string into the desired value, however, a conversion isn't possible, and the result is the error you see. Why does this work in SQLite? In the SQLite db affinities are not enforced, so when the attempt to convert fails the string value is inserted as is. If you change the affinity specified here to DATE you will get what you expect, and additionally, when you select the value back out you will get an AS3 Date object. jw wrote: Hi All I have a sql statement which runs sans any issues in my sqlite viewer, but when executed from within air it gives me the error SQLError: 'Error #3132: Data type mismatch.', details:'could not convert text value to numeric value.' this is the table schema CREATE TABLE category ( id bigint NOT NULL, version integer NOT NULL, name character varying(255), ordering integer NOT NULL, external boolean NOT NULL, createddate timestamp without time zone, modifieddate timestamp without time zone, createdby_id bigint, modifiedby_id bigint ); and here is the sql statement insert into category(id, version, name, ordering, external, createddate, modifieddate, createdby_id, modifiedby_id) values (477,14,'Leads',0,'false',NULL,'2008-08-19 16:46:54.26',NULL,1109); any ideas? i find it really weird that this works on a SQLite level, but not from AS. johan -- j:pn \\no comment -- j:pn \\no comment

The Bindbale Metatag will be compiled into the bytecode so when u implement
accessors
by hand and dispatch the events yourself, the designer can already implement
the whole
basecomponent. The developer just has to subclass when logic get involved.

[flexcoders] SWFLoader problems!
I have a .swf that I load into my flex app...
like this:
[Embed(source=swfloader.swf)]
[Bindable]
private var swfLoaderAnimation:Class;
mx:SWFLoader id=loader source={swfLoaderAnimation}
horizontalCenter=0 verticalCenter=0 /
---
The problem(s):
1- Sometimes this swfloader is bigger than the actual swf, and if i
scaleX and scaleY to 0.5, it is the appropriate size. Other times,
however, it is the correct size, and scaling it makes it far too
small... This even happens on the same custom component sometimes :(
2- I do not believe that flex actually knows how tall/wide this swf
is, because the horizontalCenter and verticalCenter seem to center the
top left pixel of the swf instead of the entire swf... if I put it
inside of a hbox with a border, and center that, it shows that the swf
runs off the bottom/right edges of the hbox...
Any help? Thanks :)

[flexcoders] callLater calls from framework / validation after instances are already removed
Hi all, I have a very special problem: By selecting an item in my navigation I start rendering my view with several display objects (container, components, ...). Every time I select an other item, I remove all stuff from display list (destroying all bindings, remove all listeners, setting everything to null). If I do very quick changes, after a while I receive null-pointer exceptions in different classes in different validation methods (measure / updateDisplayList) like TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at package::ClassName/updateDisplayList()[ClassName.as:490] at mx.core::UIComponent/validateDisplayList()[framework\src\mx\core\UICompo\ nent.as:6293] at mx.managers::LayoutManager/validateDisplayList()[framework\src\mx\manage\ rs\LayoutManager.as:605] at mx.managers::LayoutManager/doPhasedInstantiation()[framework\src\mx\mana\ gers\LayoutManager.as:660] at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply() at mx.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher2()[framework\src\mx\core\UIComp\ onent.as:8565] at mx.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher()[framework\src\mx\core\UICompo\ nent.as:8508] The exception stack trace starts always by callLaterDispatcher like above. I think the null-pointer happen because the render engine applies a call later for rendering in the next frame, unfortunately I removed the instanced in time between and so all my component children are null. That brings me to the following questions: - Could it be true that flex forces validation via callLater even if the instance is removed? How could this be? - If so, how can I solve the problem proper (e.g. remove all callLaters in my destroy functions - btw: there is a mx_internal function cancelAllCallLaters() in UIComponent but that is not working for me - no effect if I call this function in my destroy functions) - Or am I completely wrong and the problem is part of my custom components development? If you have any ideas or solutions which can guide me in the right direction would be very cool. Thanks a lot Chris

Everyone, I want to be able to select within a chart and pass the anchor and caret result to a variable.

I may just want to output the anchor and caret to a text field, doesn't matter. What I need to know how to do is out the anchor and caret while defining that the xValue is to be used.

Ahh, much improved after placing the progress event listener on the Sound object instead of the loader object, but I still feel like Flex is buffering the entire .mp3 before the isLoading property is flipped to false. Maybe I'm not considering something here, but seems like all things being equal, buffering 1sec of audio should take the same amount of time regardless of file size, but it seems that particularly with larger files buffering 1sec takes significantly longer. I'm actually still using Flex 2 and the documentation for the SoundLoaderContext says that the bufferTime property is the number of seconds (vs Milliseconds) to buffer and defaults to 1000 (~17mins?). Even if I change this property to 2, I still don't notice any change in the time it takes to buffer each sound and begin playing... Any thoughts? tips? hints? Thanks in advance.
[flexcoders] Compare text and highlight the differences
Hello, We're trying to do a text comparision between 2 paragraphs and highlight only the words that are different in the paragraphs. How we are trying to accomplish this is by comparing the words from paragraph 1 to those in paragraph 2, keeping track of the matches as in a matrix, then use the sentence with the highest matches as the base sentence, then highlight the remaining words in that sentence in paragraph 2. This method seems to be cumbersome and not working properly at the moment. Any other suggestions how or has anyone seen a sample to do this? Thank you.

Every time I select an other item, I remove all stuff from display list (destroying all bindings, remove all listeners, setting everything to null). If I do very quick changes, after a while I receive null-pointer exceptions in different classes in different validation methods (measure / updateDisplayList) like TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at package::ClassName/updateDisplayList()[ClassName.as:490] at mx.core::UIComponent/validateDisplayList()[framework\src\mx\core\UIComponent.as:6293] at mx.managers::LayoutManager/validateDisplayList()[framework\src\mx\managers\LayoutManager.as:605] at mx.managers::LayoutManager/doPhasedInstantiation()[framework\src\mx\managers\LayoutManager.as:660] at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply() at mx.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher2()[framework\src\mx\core\UIComponent.as:8565] at mx.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher()[framework\src\mx\core\UIComponent.as:8508] The exception stack trace starts always by callLaterDispatcher like above. I think the null-pointer happen because the render engine applies a call later for rendering in the next frame, unfortunately I removed the instanced in time between and so all my component children are null.

like this:
[Embed(source=swfloader.swf)]
[Bindable]
private var swfLoaderAnimation:Class;
mx:SWFLoader id=loader source={swfLoaderAnimation}

The problem(s):
1- Sometimes this swfloader is bigger than the actual swf, and if i
scaleX and scaleY to 0.5, it is the appropriate size. Other times,
however, it is the correct size, and scaling it makes it far too
small... This even happens on the same custom component sometimes :(
2- I do not believe that flex actually knows how tall/wide this swf
is, because the horizontalCenter and verticalCenter seem to center the
top left pixel of the swf instead of the entire swf... if I put it
inside of a hbox with a border, and center that, it shows that the swf
runs off the bottom/right edges of the hbox...
Any help? Thanks :)

With all humble respect, most developers do not have the time, and sometimes
the ability, to extend the framework quickly to meet simple requirements like
this. I say this only to point out the different perspectives between a flex
framework engineer and an average or beginner flex developer. Sure, the power
of flex is that you can always roll your own; when necessary. All for that!!!
The problem though, is that this may be too much to ask from a developer with
a deadline. Before flex, I came from the Microsoft camp. I absolutely
appreciate the freedom that flex affords, to extend the framework and/or create
components from scratch. But, the built-in properties and styles that flex
offers is not quite as comprehensive as what I was previously used to. That
being said, I'd love to see the best of both worlds in the next generation of!
flex. I guess it boils down to the budget and scope of each release of flex.
Of course, the framework can't account for every possible use-case. However,
there are quite a few common functions and styles, that could be considered to
be included. I've had to do something like all or none many times with a
ComboBox. For a cleanly coded application, I'd much rather just be able to set
a property, like prompt (but more like reset), instead of adding a sub classed
control or hacking a solution through the dataProvider. Just .02 and a pseudo
rant. :)

Hi Derrick,
The ComboBox prompt will not solve your problem here. It only appears
when the selectedIndex==-1; Unless you want to subclass ComboBox,
you're going to have to add none to the dataProvider, and implement
custom logic to account for it. Since you're using the same
dataProvider elsewhere, I suggest that you use the object utility copy
function, to make a deep copy of the collection; to be used for the ComboBox
with none added.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex developer and their hourly rate
And understand, this is an independent contractor rate for billable hours.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Getting all the fired events in flex application.
Here's a quick example. Every ten seconds the application checks to see if
the button has been pressed. If it hasn't it times the application out. It
takes at least ten seconds of non clicking for a timeout to occur and may
take up to 20 seconds to trigger the timeout. This is a simple scheme - for
more exact timing the timer period could be reduced and the boolean replaced
by a timestamp. The timer would then check against the timestamp and would
be more accurate - if (timenow - timeOfLastClick) timeoutPeriod ) {
timeout the session } .

I am currently upgrading one of my webcasting sites to use Flex and

Basically you will need two flex applications which could be modules

second one would be the listening location. Then you connect to a

[flexcoders] itemRenderer optimization: replacing VBoxes containing Buttons?
Hello, I have implemented my first FLEX page! But I am having performance problems when my AdvancedDataGrid contains a larger number of rows and columns. I am trying to generate some sort of Gantt Chart, with the difference that the cells are drawn vertically. Each cell contains a dynamic number of buttons. And each buttons have a dynamic height representing some data (like a bar chart). Each button links to a different URL to drill down the data (in a separate page). This also means that the rows height is dynamic. My first (naive) implementation used an itemRenderer implemented in MXML with a VBox and some dynamically generated Buttons. It works great with few rows and columns. But with real data (~ 20 rows and ~ 50 columns) the whole page is too slow. In average, there is about 200 buttons to be generated. Many cells are empty, while some contains one or more buttons. I read the canvas should be avoided (http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2007/03/thinking_about_item_renderers_1.html). What should I do in my case? Do I need to manually draw some rectangles and catch click events? Thanks, Thierry

every possible use-case. However, there are quite a few common
functions and styles, that could be considered to be included. I've had
to do something like all or none many times with a ComboBox. For a
cleanly coded application, I'd much rather just be able to set a
property, like prompt (but more like reset), instead of adding a sub
classed control or hacking a solution through the dataProvider. Just
.02 and a pseudo rant. :)

Hi Derrick,
The ComboBox prompt will not solve your problem here. It only appears
when the selectedIndex==-1; Unless you want to subclass ComboBox,
you're going to have to add none to the dataProvider, and implement
custom logic to account for it. Since you're using the same
dataProvider elsewhere, I suggest that you use the object utility copy
function, to make a deep copy of the collection; to be used for the
ComboBox with none added.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: adding (none) option to comboboxes
Just subclass.
With all humble respect, most developers do not have the time, and
sometimes the ability, to extend the framework quickly to meet simple
requirements like this. I say this only to point out the different
perspectives between a flex framework engineer and an average or
beginner flex developer. Sure, the power of flex is that you can always
roll your own; when necessary. All for that!!! The problem though, is
that this may be too much to ask from a developer with a deadline.
Before flex, I came from the Microsoft camp. I absolutely appreciate the
freedom that flex affords, to extend the framework and/or create
components from scratch. But, the built-in properties and styles that
flex offers is not quite as comprehensive as what I was previously used
to. That being said, I'd love to see the best of both worlds in the next
generation of! flex. I guess it boils down to the budget and scope of
each release of flex. Of course, the framework can't account for every
possible use-case. However, there are quite a few common functions and
styles, that could be considered to be included. I've had to do

--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Glenn Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm having a problem with red borders drawn around a cell in the DataGrid. I have a custom itemRenderer which extends HBox and impements IDropInListItenRenderer In the set data() method, I set errorString based on conditions in the data. The errorString is either set to null or a non-blank string. In the same set data() method, I also call the super class invalidateProperties and invalidateDisplayList methods. For reasons, I don't understand teh parent HBox class does not draw the border when the borderColor is set to errorColor. So I modified the updateDisplayList() method of my custom renderer to say - if ( getStyle(borderColor) == getStyle(errorColor) ) then draw a border myself using the errorColor (defaults to red). So far so good. But I have two problem symptoms: 1. If I correct the error in the underlying data, the red border remains around the cell even though I've verified that my code is NOT drawing it, and the borderColor style is no longer red 2. If I start scrolling around in the grid, other cells without errors are getting a red border. I understand that the grid recycles instances of itemRenderers for performance reasons, so I suspect that fixing root cause of #1 will fix #2. But I'm at a loss as to what to do about #1. Probably the simplest way to handle this is when you set data() if your error string is then you call graphics.clear() and invalidateDisplayList(). HTH; Amy

RE: [flexcoders] itemRenderer optimization: replacing VBoxes containing Buttons?
I would use UIComponent instead of VBox and create and layout your Buttons using custom code. 200 buttons should be ok. You're probably being killed by the overhead of containers thinking about all of those Buttons. With UIComponent you'll have to write a bit more code, but only the code you need, so it should be faster.

Hello, I have implemented my first FLEX page! But I am having performance problems when my AdvancedDataGrid contains a larger number of rows and columns. I am trying to generate some sort of Gantt Chart, with the difference that the cells are drawn vertically. Each cell contains a dynamic number of buttons. And each buttons have a dynamic height representing some data (like a bar chart). Each button links to a different URL to drill down the data (in a separate page). This also means that the rows height is dynamic. My first (naive) implementation used an itemRenderer implemented in MXML with a VBox and some dynamically generated Buttons. It works great with few rows and columns. But with real data (~ 20 rows and ~ 50 columns) the whole page is too slow. In average, there is about 200 buttons to be generated. Many cells are empty, while some contains one or more buttons. I read the canvas should be avoided (http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2007/03/thinking_about_item_renderers_1.html). What should I do in my case? Do I need to manually draw some rectangles and catch click events? Thanks, Thierry

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex developer and their hourly rate
Right, so as a very rough rule of thumb, take your hourly rate and double it, then multiply by 1,000 to get the equitable annual salary. So an hourly rate of $100/hour is roughly equal to $200,000/year. And then obviously you need to factor in stuff like the cost of benefits, overhead (stuff like office rent or equipment, etc), and the cost of unbillable hours (you've gotta do unpaid work just to get paying work). So figure out what kind of annual salary you would want, then subtract the cost of benefits (do some research about benefit costs), then subtract any other expenses you have that you wouldn't have with a regular job (make sure to think about tax rate differences). Then try to think about how many hours a week you think you're going to have to spend just to get work (soliciting clients, bending over backwards with unpaid proof of concepts or wireframes, unbillable phone meetings to go over initial specs, etc). If you figure all that out then you end up with the amount of $$ you want to make per year and the number of hours per week you are hoping to bill. Then just do the math and figure out what you need to charge to make that. So yeah, if you can bill $100/hour for a solid 40 hours a week for a year (with 2 weeks vacation I think) you end up making about the equivalent of $200k/year minus benefits, overhead, and potential tax differences (of course you can write more shit off now too). But just be sure to be honest about the number of billing hours per week you can really pull off. The additional work of just getting billable contracting work, plus the added cost of benefits and overhead, is probably why Tracy quoted the general rule of thumb that he did.

[flexcoders] error border on custom itemRenderer
I'm having a problem with red borders drawn around a cell in the DataGrid. I have a custom itemRenderer which extends HBox and impements IDropInListItenRenderer In the set data() method, I set errorString based on conditions in the data. The errorString is either set to null or a non-blank string. In the same set data() method, I also call the super class invalidateProperties and invalidateDisplayList methods. For reasons, I don't understand teh parent HBox class does not draw the border when the borderColor is set to errorColor. So I modified the updateDisplayList() method of my custom renderer to say - if ( getStyle(borderColor) == getStyle(errorColor) ) then draw a border myself using the errorColor (defaults to red). So far so good. But I have two problem symptoms: 1. If I correct the error in the underlying data, the red border remains around the cell even though I've verified that my code is NOT drawing it, and the borderColor style is no longer red 2. If I start scrolling around in the grid, other cells without errors are getting a red border. I understand that the grid recycles instances of itemRenderers for performance reasons, so I suspect that fixing root cause of #1 will fix #2. But I'm at a loss as to what to do about #1. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks, Glenn

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex developer and their hourly rate
I've also heard take your yearly salary, say $100k. Determine the hourly rate: $100k / 2000, which results in an hourly rate of $50. Now triple that to find your contracted rate. 33.3% for salary and healthcare (same amount taken home), 33.3% for capital (office space, computers, software, car) and 33.3% for taxes (you are responsible for more as an independent contractor). So, if you were making $100k and decide to contract, you should charge $150 per hour to enjoy the same standard of living.

[flexcoders] Getting all the fired events in flex application.
Hi, In my application I am working on session management.On session timeout i want to get all fired events(events that are currently running in a application) and stop them. Approach that I have implemented for session management. There is a timer on web layer which listens to every mouse click. For every mouse click anywhere in a application it checks the idleTimeout.if it exceeds the specified time it dispatches LogOutEvent which hits the service layer and invalidate the session.At the same time on web layer all the dictionaries that are stored in ModelLocator are set to null. Problem: Suppose user leaves system for a specified time and comes back and clicks on some button.By clicking on that button it fires a custom event and at the same time it checks for idleTimeOut.If it exceeds that time then it dispatches another event i.e Logout event. Now here two events are dispatched on one click of button. Logout event will invalidate session on service layer and nullify all the web dictionaries.At this time if another event which was dispathced with logout event is accessing some dictionary will throw a nullpointer exception. Question: Is there any way through which I can get all the fired events.With this on Logout event I can get all those events and Cancel them manually. OR Is there any better approach. Any thoughts on this will be very helpful for me. Thanks in advance Jasbir Singh

[flexcoders] Re: UM Extension
All you have to do is extend the right classes :)
Your event class should extend UMEvent. UMEvent has a callbacks
property, and within that Callbacks object you'll specify the
functions you want called when your delegate finishes (successfully or
otherwise). Like so:
private function submit():void
{
var callbacks:Callbacks = new Callbacks(r);
var myEvent:MyEvent = new MyEvent(MyEvent.MY_EVENT,callbacks);
submitEvent.dispatch();
}
private function r(o:Object):void
{
trace(o);
}
You should make the base class for your command
com.universalmind.cairngorm.commands.Command. You need to call the
super method within execute to set up view notification. When you
call super in result or fault, the respective methods you specified in
your Callbacks object will be called.

change my view. On the new view I need to call a function after I

Please help.

[flexcoders] updating display of GroupingCollection on AdvancedDataGrid with refresh
Hi All, I have an AdvancedDataGrid, a GroupingCollection and an ArrayCollection as a source of GroupingCollection. I update the display by setting a filter on arraycollection and calling refresh. But the AdvancedDataGrid doesnt reflect the changes unless I call GroupingCollection.refresh(). Bad. My ArrayCollection contains only 450+ items but GroupingCollection.refresh() takes too long time to re-render the list. Is there any other way that I can do this faster? and without waiting and repopulating the WHOLE list? for example I just want to hide 1 item by adding it on my filter, the list should simply adjust by deleting that row only (just like how a normal List UIComp+ArrayCollection behaves). Any ideas? -Stephen p.s. I have seen the http://flexpearls.blogspot.com/2008/06/groupingcollection-with-some- better.html but it still re-draw the whole thing and doesnt keep the state of the list (expanded/collapsed).
[flexcoders] Re: FP plugin for debugging in Firefox/Chrome
Sure, white not? Actually, I used IE before, now I use Chrome. The reason for this is that when the application is stopped in the debugger all Firefox windows are stopped as well. IE Chrome run every browser window in a separate process.

[flexcoders] Re: How to pass data to popup window?
Hi Louise,
Why not to use good old callbacks? I see that everyone is obsessed now
with the events, but this is so simple just to pass the value to the
popup and when popup finishes, it will call the function. Simple.
To do this, simply add the function to the popup window code.
public function fMyInit(val1:uint, val2:uint, callback:Function):void
{
m_val1 = val1;
m_val2 = val2;
m_callback = callback;
}
Then, after you create a popup
var popup:YourPopupCLass =
YourPopupCLass(PopUpManager.createPopUp(YourPopupClass, parent, etc));
initialise it.
popup.fMyInit(1, 2, fOnPopupExit);
and then define function fOnPopupExit(). You can even pass the
parameters to it.
In the YourPopupClass before closing the window, just make the call of
the function m_callback();
Cheers,
Dmitri.

dont worry its only a warning.
You can get ride of it by typecasting your Object into an XML like this:
{ XML(object).width }
