Re: [flexcoders] re:httpService to api
I haven't used bit shetler, but from this response it looks like you first have to present your email address and password to and httpS service for identification. In exchange you get a cookie back, and then you present the cookie with subsequent requests. It's like when you go in a club, and the bouncer at the front door checks your id...he would be the httpS service. Then you get your hand stamped and you can come in and out for the rest of the night through any door. The hand stamp would be the cookie. I'm not sure if you need to set up a special services-config.xml...You might want to just try sending your request to httpS://pa.photoshelter.com (or whatever url you were sending the request to)...that would be the first thing to try. you also need to set the protocol property of your httpService to https. That will probably do the trick. You will probably then set up a second httpService for handling the rest of the api calls, and you will pass a cookie into this...probably just a string value. These requests would just go to the normal http service.

[flexcoders] How to update menubar dataprovider
I am trying to update the dataProvider of a MenuBar without resetting
the menuBar dataprovider to the original array.
e.g.
private var menuData:Array = [];
private function init():void {
menuData.push( { label: test1, type: normal } );
menuData.push( { label: test2, type: normal } );
menuData.push( { label: test3, type: normal } );
}
mx:MenuBar id=mb dataProvider={ menuData } /
It works if I put everything in the initial property creation or if I do:
mb.dataProvider = menuData;
in the init function after I've done all of my array pushes, but I was
hoping there was a better way of doing things, i.e. firing an event or
calling a method.
I have tried mb.validateNow() (in fact, I've tried all validate
methods), but none seem to refresh the menuData dataProvider.
Anyone have any other ideas, or can tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.
Re: [flexcoders] How to update menubar dataprovider
Did you try with a bindable ArrayCollection? This usually dispatches the
correct events for UI components to update automatically.

var myData:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection() ;

Re: [flexcoders] Help with error message
Hi,
markgoldin_2000 wrote:
What exaclty this means:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter antiAliasType must be non-null.
at flash.text::TextField/set antiAliasType()
Paraphrasing the error message one can defintely say that you have a TextField
somewhere for which you're setting the anti alias type property
(antiAliasType) to null (this might not be something you're doing on purpose,
but you might be binding to something which has the value null at some point).
If you check the docs for TextField you'll se that the valid values are only
normal or advanced (the values are held in the class constants NORMAL and
ADVANCED in the AntiAliasType class which one should always use instead of the
literals).
I don't know what you're doing, but if you're, for example, doing tests
changing the anti alias type from a combo box or something like that, you
should always test or provide a fallback for it. Something like mx:TextField
antiAliasType={myValue || AntiAliasType.ADVANCED} / could do the job.

Use an ArrayCollection :-) No need to use arrays for binding ops.. Arrays

[flexcoders] Re: httpService to api
Thanks for your input. I have been sending to an https destination - but probably over insecure http, which may beone reason why it is being rejected. I had thought that the protocol property had been removed/deprecated - because I can't see it in the Flex 3 HTTPService class documentation... From Docs: The mx:HTTPService tag accepts the following tag attributes: mx:HTTPService Properties concurrency=multiple|single|last contentType=application/x-www-form-urlencoded|application/xml destination=DefaultHTTP id=No default. method=GET|POST|HEAD|OPTIONS|PUT|TRACE|DELETE resultFormat=object|array|xml|e4x|flashvars|text showBusyCursor=false|true makeObjectsBindable=false|true url=No default. useProxy=false|true xmlEncode=No default. xmlDecode=No default. Events fault=No default. result=No default. / Also when I compile with it included, I get an error: 'Cannot resolve attribute 'protocol' for component type mx.rpc.http.mxml.HTTPService.' Where did you get the version you sent that lists 'protocol' as a property? Is it Flex 2.01? ( I have a foreboding that I may have to use Blaze DS in order to access a secure HTTPS channel...) I do understand that I need to get a session cookie from bitshelter, just not how to obtain it. Any further tips/ thoughts are appreciated.

[flexcoders] httpservice to api
Ah-hah. I discovered that I have to use a proxy, otherwise the setRemoteCredentials function is ignored... Using a proxy and a services- config.xml to set parameters, I recokon I can specify https. Certainly I can specify it as destination: destination property destination:String [read-write] An HTTPService destination name in the services-config.xml file. When unspecified, Flex uses the DefaultHTTP destination. If you are using the url property, but want requests to reach the proxy over HTTPS, specify DefaultHTTPS. ,,,but I remain unclear whether that means that I am actually communicating across a secured channel... or just accessing a secure destination. Anyway, some light in the murk.
RE: [flexcoders] Flash Modules?
I suppose that's possible, assuming you copy enough files but I really am not looking forward to working through all of the issues you might run into. The Flex compiler wraps your module in a bunch of code that Flash doesn't know how to do. Fundamentally, a module is just a SWF with some other code that factories the main class. Any SWF you create in Flash can be loaded and you can put together some way to instantiate classes in that SWF, and yes, they can implement some interface. -Alex From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ivo Sent: Friday, November 28, 2008 8:17 AM To: FlexCoders Subject: [flexcoders] Flash Modules?
