[flexcoders] Re: Loading XML in preloader/ before application onComplete
Hi
I tried the psuedo code and works fine but when there is error and
Alert is shown
Alert.show(Security error + error.errorID.toString());
This alert is hidden behing the DownloadProgressbar. Can we bring it
to front.
Thanks

// I added my download function to the INIT_COMPLETE event

Write sometihing like this as the event handler:
private function FlexInitComplete(event:Event):void
{
Security.loadPolicyFile([you'll need a policy file I
guess]);
var getXMLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(http://
[whatever].xml);
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
xmlLoader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR,
securityErrorHandler);
try {
xmlLoader.load(getXMLReq);
} catch (error:Error) {
trace(Unable to load requested document.);
Alert.show(Security error + error.errorID.toString());
}
}
Then sth. like this ...
private function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void
{
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
var theXML:XML = new XML(loader.data);
}
Check the DownloadProgressBar doc for some more events to
complete the
process
In the Application tag set your preloader
Application
.
.
preloader=myPreloader
.
. /
Hope that helps somehow ... for me it works.

Hi,

Loading the config.xml on application

complete and
I still dont see any UI elements on the screen.
Creating second preloader on initialize would not look that great.
I am pretty sure we can load the XML in the preloader and
delay/deffer the

Just not sure how to go about it and what API's should I look for

[flexcoders] Bring Alert in front of DownloadProgressBar
Hi
I am using the preloader in my application. I have override the below
method.
// Define the event listeners for the preloader events.
override public function set preloader(preloader:Sprite):void
{
preloader.addEventListener
(FlexEvent.INIT_COMPLETE,myHandleInitEnd);
}
// Event listeners for the FlexEvent.INIT_COMPLETE event.
private function myHandleInitEnd(event:Event):void {
Alert.show(Yahooo);
}
I want this Alert should come in front of DownloadProgressBar. If i
run above code then Alert is hidden behind the DownloadProgressBar.
Secondly if we can hide the DownloadProgressBar that will be awesome.
Any pointers will be highly appeciated. I tried using visible=false
but it does not work.

Subject: [flexcoders] huge AMF messages
Hi all,
I planning to build an AIR application. In this application the user
can create libraries that consist of multiple value Entry objects.
Each EntryVO should look like this (there will be more properties of
course) :
package vo
{
[RemoteClass(alias=vo.EntryVO)]
import flash.net.registerClassAlias;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
public class EntryVO
{
[Bindable]
public var image_data:ByteArray;
[Bindable]
public var image_name:String;
public static function register():void
{
registerClassAlias(vo.EntryVO, EntryVO);
}
}
}
To simplify the uploading and downloading process I want to transfer
images as ByteArrays to a .NetBackend.
My question: What are my limitations here file size wise? Let's say
I have 10 EntryVO. An each of these
has an 1 MB byte array embedded.
That
means that my libraryVO (10 x 1 MB EntryVO) would have a file size
of 10 MB.
Will this work at all? Is there a progress event for remote
operations? I guess it will take a while to transfer
a 10 MB AMF message.
Thanks for any input!

[flexcoders] Best practice for calling asynchronous functions?
In my app, I make a wide variety of XML-RPC calls. Now, to avoid having to
add/remove listeners all over the place, I've created a class (facade?) with
functions like:
function save(xml:XML, successFunc:Function, failureFunc:Function):void;
function load(id:String, successFunc:Function, failureFunc:Function):void;
Note, the class' state does not change when any of these functions are
called.
The class makes the necessary XML-RPC call and listens to the appropriate
events before calling the relevant success or failure function. The class
guarantees that either the successFunc or the failureFunc will be called at
some point (but never both).
This makes my calling code very neat:
save(myXML, function(id:String):void {
Alert.show(Successfully saved XML using id: + id);
// now do the next step
}, function(msg:String):void {
Alert.show(Failed to save because: + msg);
// now rollback
});
One obvious drawback of this is that its not so easy to add multiple
listeners to, say, the save operation. But, in my situation, I never need
to.
What say you all - good or bad practice?

I would have thought it was very easy to add multiple listeners for the save
operation - just have the single successFunc call multiple functions. The
real problem may be that writing inline functions could make your code
difficullt to follow if they get too complex - I'd probably use inline
functions only for trivial cases.
Effectively you've replaced event listeners with callback functions. I don't
see the harm in it and I know a lot of people like using callbacks rather
than full blown event handling.
It does look quite neat and enforce cleaning up listeners.

Maybe it should :) But seriously, dispatchEvent is nothing more than a function call, which calls all the event handler methods. Of cause you can think of pathologic examples like Paul likes to do :) But this is really the same with function calls. For several years before using flash I used a proprietary GUI OO tool that had a similar (though less sophisticated) event mechanism. In that system event dispatch did not actually take place until the code block had completed - only then would handlers be invoked. This was particularly important since the system also supported database access and transaction handling so it's particularly important to have discrete units of work that form part of a transaction without interruption. So I don't think that the synchronous event despatch mechanism is as obvious as it appears to some and I think it should really be a delayed propogation. Anyway, it's been an interesting thread. Paul It is completely synchronous and there is nothing like three lines later it does something strange to my code. It would be really bad, if something like this could happen. I would be happy to reconsider, if you can provide me with a example, which does what you were seeing. Cheers Ralf.

Re: [flexcoders] Best practice for calling asynchronous functions?
Mark,
I've used to the same approach you describe but I didn't implemet
failureFunc. This facade, in my case, detect a failure and display
a message error. This approach take an advantage that you don't take
care any more for failures and it will always be treat in the same way.
This is a example method in my facade
public function formDeleteAccount( listener: Function ): Operation
To call this method you can use
formDeleteAccount( handler ).send( params )
The send method return a AsyncToken and you can add more listener
or put other params token for handler function.
There is other methods like it:
public function filterByText( listener: Function, text: String ): AsyncToken
In this case, we use the compiler to force the correct params. I like
this second approach
and we will convert all the code to use it.
If you have an interesting, I can send you all the code. But believe,
I don't know if it is the
best practice, but, for my problem, it run very well.

[flexcoders] Catch Undefined state Error (ArgumentError)
Hi all,
imagine the following scenario (isnt my case, but works):
User input a string and press a button. Apps change the current state to
the that string. That state doesnt exists :(
So, checking the UIComponent.as, the ArgumentError its throw on the
getState, not on setState. This method is probally called on the next
frame, so, its cause that i cant:
try
{
this.currentState = invalidState;
} catch(e:ArgumentError)
{
Alert.show(Invalid state, Error);
}
I may run through the states array checking for the existance of the
desire state, but, there is no other way to catch that error?
That probally had been asked here, but i really didnt found it. Even
googling
Thanks in advanced.

I decided to actually try my test above, and on 100 items, the for-each version takes ~50 milliseconds, versus ~25 milliseconds for the explicitly indexed loop.

On a loop with a trace with 100 items, both forms take ~5 milliseconds. This is rather unscientific, but I don't have the profiler available (will it ever make it to Linux, Adobe?). So yes, it looks like for-each is a lot slower in some cases, but I'll maintain it still probably won't make a difference unless you've got a massive loop that does very little, or a deeply nested set of loops.

Another idea... How about setting up a timer in Flex to poll the server. If the server does not receive the poll in a certain amount of time then the client has disconnected and you can write the data to the database.

[flexcoders] inner classes and static initialization
I'm having a strange problem with the use of an inner class and I wanted
to see if anyone thought that this was a bug or the correct behavior.
Here's my test that shows the problem:
package
{
use namespace MyNamespace;
public class InternalClassTest
{
public static const mtInstance:InternalClassTest = new
InternalClassTest();
public static function getInstance():InternalClassTest {
return mtInstance;
}
MyNamespace var mtInternalClass:MyInternal;
public function InternalClassTest()
{
mtInternalClass = new MyInternal();
}
}
}
use namespace MyNamespace;
internal class MyInternal {
}
The existence of the static constant that calls the InternalClassTest
constructor is where the issue lies. I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.
at
InternalClassTest()[C:\5DCVS_Flex\Testing\src\InternalClassTest.as:16]
at InternalClassTest$cinit()
at global$init()[C:\5DCVS_Flex\Testing\src\InternalClassTest.as:5]
at TestApp()[C:\5DCVS_Flex\Testing\src\TestApp.as:35]
at Testing()[C:\5DCVS_Flex\Testing\src\Testing.mxml:0]
at _Testing_mx_managers_SystemManager/create()
at
mx.managers::SystemManager/initializeTopLevelWindow()[E:\dev\3.1.0\frame\
works\projects\framework\src\mx\managers\SystemManager.as:2454]
at
mx.managers::SystemManager/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::d\
ocFrameHandler()[E:\dev\3.1.0\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\manag\
ers\SystemManager.as:2344]
If I remove the call to new MyInternal() from the constructor of
InternalClassTest, then I can get the same functionality by implementing
the internal class in the following way:
internal class MyInternal {
{
InternalClassTest.getInstance().mtInternalClass = new
MyInternal();
}
}
So the problem seems to be that the MyInternal class has not been
initialized when accessing the InternalClassTest class through a static
method. The solution is kind of a pain, and certainly not exactly
intuitive. From what I can tell it means that no singleton would be
able to access an internal class through its constructor.
This is in Flex Builder 3.0.1. with the Flex 3.1 SDK.
Thanks for any thoughts.

[flexcoders] Applying metadata in the middle of mxml - is it possible?
Hi, Basically, I would like to apply some (of my own) metadata to a component instance inside the mxml. Like this: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; mx:ApplicationControlBar mx:Metadata[MyMetadata]/mx:Metadata mx:Button id=foo label=Blah/ /mx:ApplicationControlBar /mx:Application And then only have the [MyMetadata] applied to the foo button instance. Is this possible? Placing it there makes the compiler bark. I guess this is due to the fact, that mxmlc will put it before a class definition. I then tried something like this: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; mx:ApplicationControlBar mx:Script[MyMetadata]/mx:Script mx:Button id=foo label=Blah/ /mx:ApplicationControlBar /mx:Application but this made the compiler bark too :-) about metadata requiring an associated definition. And of course it is right. My guess is the mxmlc compiler is translating the above to something like: acb = new ApplicationControlBar(); [MyMetadata] b = new Button(); acb.add(b); and of course then it is wrong with the metadata element there. Am I right? Can I do it some other way?

Haha Amy, that's a good one. Maybe it should :)
But seriously, dispatchEvent is nothing more than a function call,
which calls all the event handler methods. Of cause you can think of
pathologic examples like Paul likes to do :) But this is really the
same with function calls. It is completely synchronous and there is
nothing like three lines later it does something strange to my
code.
It would be really bad, if something like this could happen.
I would be happy to reconsider, if you can provide me with a
example,
which does what you were seeing.
I'm doing this from memory, because it looks like the client is
working on how the search functionality works, but here's the place
that the functionality broke:
protected function profilePageLoaded(e:CollectionEvent):void{
/* Make sure we don't keep triggering
this function for an old
SearchProfiles */
var coll:ArrayCollection=e.currentTarget as
ArrayCollection;
coll.removeEventListener
(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE, profilePageLoaded);
dispatchEvent(new Event(PROFILES_CHANGED));
//ok to load a new page of results on
whatever SearchProfile is current
_isGettingProfiles=false;
updateCache();
//check current _searchProfiles to see if we
need to load more pages
if
(_searchProfiles.loadedProfiles_searchProfiles.profileCount)
loadPageOfProfiles();
}
Note that the _isGettingProfiles switch is still _after_ the
dispatchEvent code. I moved it there from after updateCache (which
doesn't care about or change this value), because when I had it
_below_ that, the dispatchEvent would cause other code to execute the
function that registers for this event again...but it wouldn't
register for the event because that variable was still true. By
moving it up a line (but still after the dispatchEvent, since that's
where I felt it was more understandable for the people that have to
maintain the code), it still executed before the event listener
kicked in.
Hope this clarifies;

Subject: [flexcoders] Best practice for calling asynchronous
functions?
In my app, I make a wide variety of XML-RPC calls. Now, to avoid
having to
add/remove listeners all over the place, I've created a class
(facade?)
with
functions like:
function save(xml:XML, successFunc:Function,
failureFunc:Function):void;
function load(id:String, successFunc:Function,
failureFunc:Function):void;
Note, the class' state does not change when any of these
functions are
called.
The class makes the necessary XML-RPC call and listens to the
appropriate
events before calling the relevant success or failure function.
The class
guarantees that either the successFunc or the failureFunc will be
called
at
some point (but never both).
This makes my calling code very neat:
save(myXML, function(id:String):void {
Alert.show(Successfully saved XML using id: + id);
// now do the next step
}, function(msg:String):void {
Alert.show(Failed to save because: + msg);
// now rollback
});
One obvious drawback of this is that its not so easy to add
multiple
listeners to, say, the save operation. But, in my situation, I
never need
to.
I would have thought it was very easy to add multiple listeners for
the save
operation - just have the single successFunc call multiple
functions. The
real problem may be that writing inline functions could make your
code
difficullt to follow if they get too complex - I'd probably use
inline
functions only for trivial cases.
Effectively you've replaced event listeners with callback
functions. I don't
see the harm in it and I know a lot of people like using callbacks
rather
than full blown event handling.
It does look quite neat and enforce cleaning up listeners.
Another way to handle it is with a token. The token rides the
event, so there's no cleanup to be done...Once the event is handled
the reference to it goes away, and so does the token and its
responders.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Parsley MVC :: some thoughts
The only way for a listener to not get called synchronously is if it is specifically setup to do that. For example in Flex you can call a method using callLater which will call it on the next frame. If you are not using Flex you can do the same thing by creating a timer with a duration of 1 and calling the method within the timer's handler. If you look through the Flex code you will see a lot of use of callLater as it works great for allowing data to update before you act upon it.

Subject: [flexcoders] inner classes and static initialization
I'm having a strange problem with the use of an inner class and I wanted to see
if anyone thought that this was a bug or the correct behavior. Here's my test
that shows the problem:
package
{
use namespace MyNamespace;
public class InternalClassTest
{
public static const mtInstance:InternalClassTest = new
InternalClassTest();
public static function getInstance():InternalClassTest {
return mtInstance;
}
MyNamespace var mtInternalClass:MyInternal;
! public function InternalClassTest()
{
mtInternalClass = new MyInternal();
}
}
}
use namespace MyNamespace;
internal class MyInternal {
}
The existence of the static constant that calls the InternalClassTest
constructor is where the issue lies. I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.
at InternalClassTest()[C:\5DCVS_Flex\Testing\src\InternalClassTest.as:16]
at InternalClassTest$cinit()
at! global$ init()[C:\5DCVS_Flex\Testing\src\InternalClassTest.as:5]

ystemManager/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::docFrameHandler()[E:\dev\3.1.0\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\managers\SystemManager.as:2344]
If I remove the call to new MyInternal() from the constructor of
InternalClassTest, then I can get the same functionality by implementing the
internal class in the following way:
internal class MyInternal {
{
InternalClassTest.getInstance().mtInternalClass = new MyInternal();
! ; nbsp; }
}
So the problem seems to be that the MyInternal class has not been initialized
when accessing the InternalClassTest class through a static method. The
solution is kind of a pain, and certainly not exactly intuitive. From what I
can tell it means that no singleton would be able to access an internal class
through its constructor.
This is in Flex Builder 3.0.1. with the Flex 3.1 SDK.
Thanks for any thoughts.

Re: [flexcoders] RE: services-config.xml: compc or just mxmlc?
Seth, Thanks--this is really handy. But I think what I was asking is a little simpler: there are no modules (in the Flex sense of the word) here. I'm essentially just interested in building a main app and being able to extend it after-the-fact with an add-on that gets compiled into a single .swf application. That is: main app: src/index.mxml (the Application, but only a wrapper around Main.mxml) src/Main.mxml (the actual brains of the app) src/util1.as src/util2.as services-config.xml gets compiled into foo.swf (the default app) *and (separately) foo.swc (a library which includes all the classes compiled from the above sources except index.mxml) later on, someone else (with access to index.mxml, services-config.xml, and foo.swc, but not the sources, wants to extend this): extended version: src/index.mxml (same as above, but now modified to reference Extended.mxml) src/Extended.mxml src/util3.as lib/foo.swc (from above) services-config.xml (from above) this gets compiled into super-foo.swf (the extended app) Suppose that the extended version does not even change services-config.xml or add any objects with [RemoteAlias] metadata. Do I need to reference services-config.xml when (1) building the original foo.swc (2) building the super-foo.swf (3) both ? And if I do extend services-config.xml or add new [RemoteAlias] objects to the extended version, does the answer to the above change (obviously, it has to be at least 2 or 3)? I think what I'm really asking is when does the services-config.xml metadata get baked into a .swf (or .swc)? -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -Original Message- From: Seth Hodgson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] RE: services-config.xml: compc or just mxmlc? Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2008 09:43:18 -0800 Hi Maciek, I don't have any practical experience with attempting to compile service config and associated classes into modules and I don't know whether compc would support it or not, but based on some informal discussions with Alex and Jeff I wouldn't recommend it. The core issue is that AMF serialization mappings (client to server class aliases) within Flash Player aren't scoped per module or even app domain as loaded classes are - unfortunately they're scoped to a security domain (broader scope). This means that if the root swf loads two or more modules (each will be loaded in its own child ApplicationDomain by default), where these modules bake in overlapping sets of classes that use [RemoteClass] metadata things won't work. The modules will effectively trample each other's registered class aliases to point to their respective local classes. Say you have a class Foo ([RemoteClass(alias=com.Foo)]), that you've compiled into both modules. You now have two separate class defs on the client (one per module/sub app domain), but only one alias registered (scoped to the security domain both of these app domains belong to). When the loosing module receives a Foo off the network it will fail to deserialize correctly because the alias mapping points to the class def in the other module, which this module doesn't have access to. I think the best approach for now is to place your service config and all shared classes with [RemoteClass] metadata into your root swf, and then expose this to your modules through a controlled API - say a registry of network services or operations the modules can use. You may be able to get away with keeping non-shared classes with [RemoteClass] metadata in specific modules, but I haven't tried that.

I am running my client in a VM session(so I can easily enable/disable the network interface), but I don't think that is the issue since it does work if I don't specify a pollInterval. My onNetworkStatusChange() method has a Alert statement in it which isn't popping up, and it also sets a boolean property that something else is bound to to swap a status icon. Neither of these actions happen after the initial start() status event.

I expect that. It also get's called about 30 seconds after the network interface is disabled. I'm guessing it uses some sort of polling, so I guess I expect that. I really expected it to happen as soon as the interface goes down, so to speed up the network status recognition I set __sm.pollInterval = 1000.

It sounds like your mapping to hit your Assembler class is incorrect, and
this would be the most likely place where something is in error causing
that.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Listening for both Mouse Down and Double Click events.
Ahhh... I hear ya... AFAIK there's no way to delay an event from firing, so yeah write a Timer into your mouseDown, mouseUp, and click events to actually dispatch their meaning on that Timer's end event, and kill that Timer event listener if your doubleClick gets dispatched first... I remember having to write in the double click handling manually back in 1.0 when it didn't exist in the framework, and it was quite similar to this concept :-) Other folks may have a better suggestion, but that's how I'd approach.

[flexcoders] Re: inner classes and static initialization
Thank you, that works. I'm guessing then that the inner classes are
treated as globals in the same way that the static data members are, and
initialzed after the static data members? It seems that all globals
would be initialized before the class itself, as the class itself may
(and in my case, did) require the use of them.
This is coming from a Java background as well, where that seems to be
the case.

I'm having a strange problem with the use of an inner class and I
wanted to see if anyone thought that this was a bug or the correct

public static function getInstance():InternalClassTest {

}

{
mtInternalClass = new MyInternal();
}
}
}
use namespace MyNamespace;
internal class MyInternal {
}
The existence of the static constant that calls the InternalClassTest
constructor is where the issue lies. I get this error:

If I remove the call to new MyInternal() from the constructor of
InternalClassTest, then I can get the same functionality by implementing
the internal class in the following way:
internal class MyInternal {
{
InternalClassTest.getInstance().mtInternalClass = new
MyInternal();
! ; nbsp; }
}
So the problem seems to be that the MyInternal class has not been
initialized when accessing the InternalClassTest class through a static
method. The solution is kind of a pain, and certainly not exactly
intuitive. From what I can tell it means that no singleton would be
able to access an internal class through its constructor.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: inner classes and static initialization
I think there's Ecmascript history to the actual answer and I'm not enough of a
language guy to offer the official answer, but basically, classes are
initialized on-demand as they are used by the code. I think you ran into
trouble in the setting of the const, not in the construction of the internal
class

[flexcoders] Best Practices: ArrayCollection of custom objects?
I have a class (DataType) that I've written that is intended to be used in an ArrayCollection of these objects (DataTypes). I would like to guarantee that this ArrayCollection can only be populated with objects of the DataType class. My initial thought was to extended the ArrayCollection class in the DataTypes class, then override the addItem() method and change the item:Object argument to item:CustomObject (which extends Object). Evidently this isn't permissible in Flex (we're still using Flex 2 here). Are there any best practices surrounding this task? Can anyone offer some advice on how I should go about ensuring that the objects added to this ArrayCollection are objects of my custom class? Thanks in advance.
[flexcoders] Re: Best Practices: ArrayCollection of custom objects?
Oh, just for clarification, item:CustomObject is actually item:DataType, which extends Object for the purpose I'm concerned with here.

efficient as separate properties?

Here is an excerpt from my proxy-config.xml: adapters adapter-definition id=http-proxy class=flex.messaging.services.http.HTTPProxyAdapter default=true/ adapter-definition id=soap-proxy class=flex.messaging.services.http.SOAPProxyAdapter/ /adapters default-channels channel ref=my-secure-http/ channel ref=my-http/ /default-channels destination id=photoshelter properties urlhttps://www.photoshelter.com/bsapi/1.1/?auth/url remoteusernameblah/remoteusername remotepasswordblah/remotepassword /properties adapter ref = http proxy/ /destination
