RE: [flexcoders] Does ASDoc process metadata tags?
I believe this is because the ASDoc compiler takes less passes at the code base than the regular compiler does. One of the missing passes is the one that processes [Bindable] tags and adds the Event dispatching code. I'd be wary of doing it the way you described since out in house binding guru reported a bug that occurs under those circumstances. Make it explicit and you have no problems. Gk.

I have classes that are marked with [Managed] and [Bindable] tags. Even though these objects do not extend eventDispatcher I can call dispatchedEvent, addEventListener, and removeEventListener on them. I assume this is because the compiler is wrapping the dispatch code around the object when it sees the metadata tag. This works fine in Flex Builder but when running ASDoc it serves up these calls as errors. Is there a flag I need to set for ASDoc to process the tags when compiling the objects?
[flexcoders] File upload with pause/resume in Flex?
Suggestions on how to implement this? My first thought is to split a file into chunks of FileReferences and then send these chunks individually, making a note of which chunks of a file that have been transferred and which are waiting. That way I can pause the application and continue later. .. but maybe there is an easier solution? :-) -- http://www.juicability.com - flex blog http://www.nospoiler.com - link to youtube videos without the spoilers

[flexcoders] advanced datagrid error weirdness
hey, actually hoping someone from the adg team can tell me what on a certain line would be giving an error. I use sdk 3.0 so i have an adg which renderers another adg. detail is not really that important. i have a mock data set in 2 different projects (1 being the main app i am working on and the other being an adg sample to try and replicate my error). the sample app uses the same IFactory, ADGRenderer, columns, hierachial data descriptor (and of course the mock data set). the error i get is TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert null to Class. at mx.controls::AdvancedDataGrid/initListData()[C:\Work\flex\dmv_automation\projects\datavisualisation\src\mx\controls\AdvancedDataGrid.as:5476] I am specifically interested in what is on that one line, since my sample app works perfectly and my main app does not. I realise that this means its somehting in my own code (the difference between the two apps is complexity of the application structure.) my sample app consists of view - presmodel - my adg component where my presentation model exposes via bindings my columns, data provider and renderer in contrast to this my main app is view -presModel -component -presModel -my adg component. i think this means that some binding is not firing all the way through my chains, but which one (i cannot figure this since i cannot debug the adg :( ) anyway, whats on that line, and what variable is null.

[flexcoders] Preventing Item Renderers from Inheriting Styles from Parent List Component
Hi all:
I have a custom component derived from VBox with a specific styleName.
When used in a Repeater, or stand-alone, the styles are perfect.
However, when I use the custom component in a List by setting the
itemRenderer property of the List component, the fonts are all wrong and
the text in Button labels are getting truncated.
During debugging, I found the Flex 3 List component causes item
renderers to inherit styles! It actually sets the styleName to the
instance variable of the List component!
// in mx.controls.List.as:
override public function createItemRenderer...
{
...
var renderer:IListItemRenderer;
...
renderer = factory.newInstance();
renderer.styleName = this;
...
return renderer;
}
We have a CSS Type selector for List and if I comment it out of the css
file, the problem goes away, but we have lots of other List instances in
our code base and I don't want to change them all to use CSS Class
selectors in order to work around this issue.
I've overridden the styleName setter in the renderer and explicitly set
it to my own style class selector and it doesn't work. My buttons in the
renderer even specifically set a styleName, and I'm able to override the
font issue in a brute force way, but the text continues to get
truncated, as though there is some measurement that is wrong, and I have
no idea which style to override to fix the truncation.
Q. Is there a simple way to prevent my item renderer from inheriting any
styles from the parent List component?
Thanks!

[flexcoders] Extending classes (within classes) best/fastest approach to finding what you need (in FlexBuilder)
I have a simple desire today and figured I'd be able to get a nice quick answer. During an Alert I want to override (which may be mixed terminology I understand) the fade effect on the parent window during an Alert.show. I'm using Flex Builder 3, not a surprise, and I'm thinking there's probably a way, while debug mode, to find the line that triggers that effect stepwise, thus finding the class as well no? I'd love the solution to what I'm doing, yes (and bring it on sure), but I'd like to know the best way to find things in the future. (If I was clear...hopefully) Thanks to all in advance.
[flexcoders] Dragging an image out of a tilelist
First post to the group. Glad I found this as a resource...
I have a TileList control with cells that contain an image and a
label. See the itemRenderer code:
Code:
mx:HBox xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
horizontalAlign=center
verticalAlign=middle
mx:Image source={da...@thumbnailimage} width=75 height=50/
mx:Label text={da...@title} /
/mx:HBox
What I want to do is give the user the ability to drag just the image
portion of the cell onto a different canvas. Here's where I am so far
on the TileList code:
Code:
mx:TileList id=myVidTilelist
dataProvider={xmlListColl}
itemRenderer=CustomItemRenderer
columnCount=1
columnWidth=180
rowCount=6
verticalScrollPolicy=on
dragEnabled=true
mouseMove=mouseOverHandler(event);
/
Not sure if I should be using mouseMove to start the drag or some
other event. But in the handler, I'm unsure of how to reference the
image inside the cell of the TileList. I want to show that as the
dragProxy (I think that's the correct term) and also resize it so it
isn't the thumbnail size shown in the TileList. I don't want the
label to be part of the dragged item (it should just disappear).
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. If I need to provide more
code to make this question more clear, please let me know.
Thanks.

[flexcoders] Register custom URI Scheme on the OS for AIR applications?
Hi all, I am building a chat client with Flex and AIR and I was wondering if it was possible to let the application register a custom URI scheme on the host OS like the Skype client does with: callto:nickname?call for text chat and callto:nickname?chat for audio/video chat so that I can build a web page or mail signature using those and automatically trigger the start of my AIR application executing a specific function like the text or audio/video chat in this case. All the documentation I've found on the Adobe web site only talks about file extensions associations, but not URI schemes, so my guess is that this feature is currently not supported. Should I file it as an enhancement request, is it correct to use the Flash Player Jira also for requests for AIR? http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP Thanks for any insight, Marcello

hello any help out there?
[flexcoders] Help Me for SharedObject and registerClassAlias method
Hi,
i've yet posted this question but i can't resolve this problem..
i've created a custom value object class..a simple class with private
properties and getters methods to retrieve them.
public class WindowInfo
{
private var _id:String;
private var _module:String
private var _xpos:int;
private var _ypos:int;
private var _width:int;
private var _height:int;
public function WindowInfo(id:String, module:String, xpos:int,
ypos:int, width:int, height:int)
{
this._id = id;
this._module = module;
this._xpos = xpos;
this._ypos = ypos;
this._width = width;
this._height = height;
}
public function get id():String {
return _id;
}
public function get module():String {
return _module;
}
public function get xpos():int {
return _xpos;
}
public function get ypos():int {
return _ypos;
}
public function get width():int {
return _width;
}
public function get height():int {
return _height;
}
}
then i created an array collection where each item is an istance of
value object.
then i have a shared object manager that looks like this:
package util{
import flash.net.SharedObject;
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
public class SharedObjectApplicationManager {
private var mySO:SharedObject;
private var ac:ArrayCollection;
private var lsoType:String;
public function SharedObjectApplicationManager(s:String) {
init(s);
}
private function init(s:String):void {
mySO = SharedObject.getLocal(s);
if (getf()) {
getf();
}
}
public function getf():ArrayCollection {
return mySO.data.arrayc;
}
private function adda(array:ArrayCollection):void {
mySO.data.arrayc = new ArrayCollection();
mySO.data.arrayc = array;
mySO.flush();
}
}
}
so when i try to get arraycollection with getf method i get an
arraycollection of generic objects
not with windowinfo objects..in
this manner i can't get value properties of value object class.
so i would use registerClassAlias(Info, WindowInfo) where WindowInfo
is the VO..but where?
the architecture of my app is:
-main application (verify the shared object, if full then call a
public function of canvas to create windows with specific parameters
saved in windowinfo class)
canvas (contains one or more windows)
any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Re: [flexcoders] filter arraycollection with checkbox acting wired
What's the type of your property pizza? Boolean? yes/no is not Boolean...
If you have Boolean values, you have to do like this..
private function processFilter(item:Object):Boolean {
return Boolean(item.value) == true;
}
Or... string values, yes/no values:
private function processFilter(item:Object):Boolean {
var isYes:Boolean = item.value == yes ? true : false;
return checkBox.selected == isYes;
}

I think I suggested already that you just need to debug this. Find an item that does not filter as you expect, step through the code til you hit that item, then step through the code to see why the filter function is not returning the expected value. It will almost certainly be obvious. For us to help, we need to do that process a a thought experiment. It will be much easier for you do do it in the debugger.

I've read about and seen the presentation on Flex 4 Gumbo components but I'm still unclear on how it works. Note: These questions pertain to Flex Builder. 1. If I add a Gumbo component to the stage (design view) am I able to set styles on it? Do these styles affect vector FXG graphics that already exist in the skin file or are they drawn with the graphics object like in the halo set, graphics.drawRectangle() etc? 2. Will Illustrator, Photoshop, Fireworks and Flash (henceforth known as PIFF) export a FXG button skin that we can drop into Flex and have it work or does it export FXG markup and we then connect the data? 3. Can we import a Gumbo skin into PIFF and then style or change the graphics in the design tool and then export that back out, sans whatever Flash Catalyst? 4. What would be a better acronym than PIFF (photoshop, illustrator, fireworks and flash), sounds like a graphic format :P? Any other compatible graphic tools I'm missing? 5. A few members of the Photoshop community have talked about support for the Flash renderer in PIF (flash already has the FP renderer). This renderer would mix with the current design tool's renderer to provide a live design-time rendering of the Flex components and a separate property inspector to set styles of the components. Of course, you would also be able to work with the graphic elements as well. This would also pave the way to allow the design tools use any of the Flex containers to aide the designer in the layout of the design (using hbox, vbox, etc). Is there any interest in this?

I have a series of 3 linkButtons.

as follows:

How can I automatically reset all the other linkButtons styleNames

I have bigger problems. By changing the events to standard ADD and

mx:DataGrid id=templateGrid width=100% height=100%

(event) add=onAdd(event) remove=onRemove(event)
I at least got past the compile problems. I am now trying to select

But actionColumn is not visible at the top level. This is my first

have to break down and start customizing.

Re: [flexcoders]Does Flex 4 Gumbo support styles and other questions
Addendum: 6. If I have a skin in Flex Builder and I want to edit it visually, how would I do that? For example, in some of the design tools, if I have a movieclip or a component when I double click on it takes me into the sub view where I can edit the graphics and parts that make up that movieclip / component. If I double click on a Gumbo component in Flex Builder how does it handle it?

[flexcoders] sprite.startDrag() - Only one sprite is draggable at a time :-(
Requirements are for a draggable calculator pop-up that looks like a calculator i.e. the calculator image is the frame/border - irregular shape - no rectangularPanel/TitleWindow. I created 2 components, the calculator Image and an inner Panel component with calculator functionality, titleBar drag and resizing. The size of the outer calculator Image is bound to the resize of the inner Panel e.g. var watcherSetter:ChangeWatcher = BindingUtils.bindSetter(calculatorImageWidth,sPanel,width); and this works perfectly. So I coded the synchronized drag of the 2 components with a titleBarMoveHandler() on the alpha=0 TitleBar of the inner Panel: this.startDrag(); calculatorImage.startDrag(); and then found the fine print - sprite.startDrag() - Only one sprite is draggable at a time. So somebody gets left behind :-) Can google no examples of this kind of thing, so any pointers appreciated. TIA, Mic.
[flexcoders] Re: Idiots guide to crossdomain.xml
If your SWF is hosted on server A, and it needs to access data from servers B, C, and D then you need to put a cross domain policy file on servers B, C, and D that permit access from server A. Note, these servers (A,B,C,D) are different servers ... the names are not aliases. It kind of sounded like one of your host names is an alias for the other. The cross domain policy file you deploy on each web server should allow access from server A, since that is where your SWF is hosted: allow-access-from domain=serverA.domain.com / Also, newer versions of the Flash player will complain if your cross domain policy file does not have a site-control tag. Here's a simple one I use: site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies=master-only/ Which means there's only one policy file for my site.

RE: [flexcoders] DYNAMIC LINKBUTTONS styleNames.
styleName is not a property, it is a style. You have to use setStyle();
Also, debug your loop, make sure you have a good refrence to the button.

I have a series of 3 linkButtons.
I am able to switch the styleName of a linkButton when I click on it
as follows:
[Bindable]
private var linkButton:String = 'linkButton' ;
[Bindable]
private var linkButtonOff: String = 'linkButtonOff' ;
mx:LinkButton id=test001 label=001 styleName={ linkButton}
buttonMode= true click=setType( event)/
mx:LinkButton id=test002 label=002 styleName={ linkButton}
buttonMode= true click=setType( event)/
mx:LinkButton id=test003 label=003 styleName={ linkButton}
buttonMode= true click=setType( event)/
private function setType(result: Event):void
{
result.currentTarge t.styleName = linkButtonOff;
}
How can I automatically reset all the other linkButtons styleNames
to {linkButton} when a linkButton is clicked?
Thank you.

RE: [flexcoders] Is there a 'token' equivalent to use with the URLLoader class?
What does the class reference say about that method?

Is there a 'token' equivalent to use with the URLLoader class? I need to keep track of my events. I can use token with an HttpService.send() request, how do I use it with URLLoader? ex: var myloader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); myloader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadHandler); var token:AsyncToken = myloader.load(new URLRequest(getdata.com)); token.artist = artist; I get: 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated type mx.rpc:AsyncToken.

styleName is not a property, it is a style. You have to use setStyle();
Also, debug your loop, make sure you have a good refrence to the button.

Hi Tracy, I can get it to work as a var, but when I try to access the Array, I
get:
Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
This is my array:
[Bindable]
private var buttons:Array = new Array(test001 , test002, test003);
for each(var target:String in buttons)
{
this[target] .styleName = linkButton;
}
Thanks again! :)

Yes, sailorsea, see that link.
Also, be careful of terminology. I said store references. This is not the
same as storing IDs.
You can do this using ids, with bracket notation.
var sId:String = test001;
this[sId].setStyle( ); //should work

Hi Tracy, I created an array of all the IDs of my linkButtons, can you show me
an example how to loop in the array?
Thanks.

Store references to each in an Array, then loop over the array.

RE: {Disarmed} [flexcoders] AIR update framework only works to update AIR file?
You need to be aware of the two paths to update Air applications. The UI
approach, one where you configure the UI of the update process through a
XML file and an API approach where you take programmatic control of the
update. Ultimately the goal of the UpdaterUI was to update the Air file
alone (and then start it)so if you need to move files around, update
SQLite or something like that, you are going to have to do what you need
in Actionscript. The update framework in no-way has the capabilities of
commercial installers. Can't call external processes, directly move
files around, etc
Since the updater mechanisms are running in the old code, not the new
Air file, it can't know what needs to updated, meaning you are going to
end up writing code in your app's normal bootstrap process that
determines that an update has occurred and makes the necessary changes.
There are a number of references about determining whether it's the
first-run or not so adaptation of those techniques is probably worth
looking at.
In our apps, we have the current client version in the SQLite database.
If the running client does not match that version number, we call
whatever update process we need and on completion update SQLite to the
current running client version id.

Hi all,
I have been reading articles about using AIR update framework.
To my understanding this only works to update AIR file??
I hope I am wrong...
Since my AIR app is using Flex-only swcs and is loading Flex-only
modules.
Anybody can shed a light on this?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: tilelist HighlightIndicator effects
Looks ok to me. If you're using FlexBuilder, clean the project and re-build.
If that doesn't work, try a simple subclass with only that override

[flexcoders] Does the [SWF] meta tag really support widthPercect and heightPercent attribute?
link here http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?p=834470 seems to suggest that in addition to pixel width, I can specify percent value (similar to how I do it in html flash wrapper). But I can't get it to work. Is it really supported? [SWF(widthPercent=100, heightPercent=100)] Background: The reason I need it is to force a nested swf's size to match its parent container (loader?) width/height, so that the preloader is shown centered with respect to the parent application. Right now, while loading, the nested swf seems to be at a size of 500x325 (not sure where that value came from). And it is not center aligned wrt the parent. And I end up with a preloader that is off center. Any suggestions?
[flexcoders] Memory consumption. Part 2. ItemRenderers
Hi Everybody, I have identified the memory consumption problem within the custom ItemRenderer. This IR is derived from UIComponent and besides other elements has 3 Image members to display 3 possible icons. The grid has around 200 elements, so 200 IRs are created at the startup. Each IR creates 3 Images in createChildren() method with source = null. Source is set in the commitProperties() method, when we know the data. In reality only 10-15 IRs are displaying icons, the rest are just waisting the space (600 instances of Image consumes aroung 700Kb according to Profiler). My question is how can I improve the efficiency of this IR? Is this possible to create Image instances on demand, not in the createChildren() method? I tried to create and destroy Images in commitProperties() according to data, but then I bumped into the problem that updateDisplayList() for the IR could be called with inconsistent data. I.e. data says that we need icons, but the the Image objects is null, they have not been created yet by commitProperties()/set data() for this instance. Is this a recycling feature that the order of commitProperties()/updateDIsplayList() are not guaranteed? Or I have overseen something? Thanks in advance! Regards, Dmitri.
RE: [flexcoders] Memory consumption. Part 2. ItemRenderers
ListItemRenderer.as adds and removes its icon in commitProperties. If it is the same 3 icons, and they are small, they should be embedded and then you don't need the Image class and will save lots of memory that way too.

RE: [flexcoders] Does the [SWF] meta tag really support widthPercect and heightPercent attribute?
If you use %, the size gets set to 500x375 and %'s get pushed into the html template. I'd just set usePreloader=false and show your own mx:ProgressBar.
