[flexcoders] flexiBoard - Crafty chess frontend

[smitade]

I've developed a frontend to the Crafty chess engine. A win32 alpha version is 
available for download at:

http://flexiboard.riaforge.org/

The zip contains everything you need to play chess. Check the INSTALL.TXT file 
for instructions. The source code is also available via subversion at riaforge. 
I'd appreciate any comments, bug reports etc. The app is playable but still 
under development. I can use some help to port to linux and mac and to wrap it 
up if anyone is interested.

RE: [flexcoders] reading a simple array dump?

[Tracy Spratt]

First, use a result handler, and do not use lastResult.

 

Then go one step at a time.  Examine event.result by itself first, then work
your way into the object.

Yse, but it is not necessary to implement that using separate Flash Player
instances.  Investigate some other architectures before going down that
path.

Hi Tracy,

I noticed LocalConnection through the documentation. Although people have
mentioned that it shares the connection even across multiple pages in the
same browser, you would end up getting collisions, which is silly. Have you
had experience working around that problem?

When you have a very large project consisting of many complex elements and
states, and A LOT of resources, it makes sense to have one swf that has
ownership of all resources loaded. Then each satellite swf can reference the
resource repository and thus minimize loading times considerably.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Gumbo profiler: Path 1, Path2, etc..

[Alex Harui]

In Gumbo Flex Builder it tries to pre-filter the references to get rid of 
cycles and tries only to show paths from what we call gcroots, which are the 
places the mark algorithm walks in from.  In theory, the paths should have 
expand icons so you can see what the paths are back to the gcroots which should 
be a stack of one or more objects

Of course, Gumbo is pre-release and there might still be bugs in the filtering. 
 Post a snapshot of what you're seeing.

RE: [flexcoders] select non-top level items in a hierarchical menu

[Tracy Spratt]

The Menu will dispatch a plain "click" event for the parent nodes.  Since
menu options also dispatch "click", you need to check for tht in the
handler.

I need the ability to select non-leaf items in a hierarchical menu--is
this doable? Basically, suppose I have a dataProvider like this:

[ { label: 'a' },
{ label: 'b', children: [ { label: '1' }, { label: '2' } ] } ]

I want to be able to select a, b, 1, or 2. I can do exactly what I want
with a Tree, but I was hoping for something more compact. It seems that
selecting a node that has children does not dispatch an ITEM_CLICK
event: it just automatically opens the submenu. I'd like to open/close
the submenu on rollOver/rollOut, and dispatch a normal ITEM_CLICK for
that item on a click.

Re: [flexcoders] Pros and Cons of Writing Air UI's in Pure Flash

[Josh McDonald]

Personally, I'd think long and hard before doing something like this. It
really depends on how much of the actual "work" is in the very top layer of
frosting, how much work is done in the "meat" of the AIR app, and what kind
of feedback you need to have going between these layers.

Perhaps you can get the designers to build simpler components (buttons,
window decorations, etc) in Flash using the FCK, and lay them out with MXML
and Builder. If they're building SWCs with the FCK at least they can expose
[Event] metadata and such, which will make life easier for whoever needs to
tie things together in Builder for the AIR side of things. I'd be very loath
to make SWFs part of my app for anything more complex than image resources.
If it generates Events and exposes an API, I need to interact with it
without regard for its internal timeline, the possibility of memory leaks
caused by loading SWFs (mainly in Player 9), etc.

I agree with them 100% that compile-time is horrible for Builder. Adobe
knows this, and they're working on it. Building from Ant using MXMLC rather
than Builder is apparently faster as-is, and I believe you can get a
signifigant speedup using the compiler from Flex 4 but building against Flex
3 libraries. This opens you up to "issues" as Fx4 is still in early
development, but most of the changes these days appear to be happening in
Spark and the new MXML stuff, so building against the old namespace using
the Halo components could be a helper. Also, recently on the FlexShow
podcast they interviewed a guy (sorry, name escapes me) who's been
backporting some of the speedups from Fx4 into Flex 3. They're not part of
the official download, but I believe you can patch the compiler source,
recompile with Java, and reap the benefits of his hard work without the
technical risk inherent in building using the WIP Gumbo toolchain.

Enough ranting and suggestions from me, I think - time to yield the floor!

I have a question for the list.  We are currently doing rapid UI  
changes to our Air application.  Our UI designers that have experience

"skinning" our UI's.  Complains range from issues with compilation  
time to being able to easily preview changes.  They have proposed that

We'd then embed these UI's as swfs in our Flex/Actionscript code.  I  
can see doing this for some UI components.  However, I must admit I'm

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How can I call a function from a class?

[Paul Andrews]

LOL.

"How about the other way around, how can I access a variable in my main mxml 
from my class package?"

Well, the real answer is you shouldn't do it. You really don't want to build 
dependencies between your classes (unless there's a really good reason) or 
between a class and your application.

A really bad way to do what you're asking:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute" 
creationComplete="doIt()">






The Application class has a static attribute application that refers to the 
application scope. Please don't use it without a really good reason.

Really speaking most people issue events inter-class communication (without 
building inter-dependencies), or would pass the variable as a parameter. If 
the variable being passed is an object reference, you can still update the 
value when it's passed as a parameter.

Other techniques people use - static class variables - accessible without 
instance declaration. I think there's something else I've forgotten. It's 
late!

[flexcoders] Re: How can I call a function from a class?

[Tim Hoff]

Ok, if your class is a component, and has been added to the display list
(as a child of the main class), you can reference a public variable in
the parent class with either outerDocument.myVariable or
parentDocument.myVariable.  Personally, I don't like this kind of
dependency, and recommend creating a getter/setter variable in the class
and set it after the class is instantiated and, if needed, when the main
variable is changed.   A getter/setter is recommended for the top level
variable as well.  This way your class can initialize it's own state, if
desired have it's state changed by the parent, and become re-usable;
without depending on the parent.

[flexcoders] Re: ListCollectionView w/ a filterFunction as a dataProvider - Flex 2

[bnjmnhggns]

That's a good suggestion.  Unfortunately I can't directly keep track of the 
ListCollectionViews unlike in the example.  I have a function that returns 
these views with different filtering functions.  I might be able to listen for 
COLLECTION_CHANGED on the ArrayCollection and call refresh then.

Unfortunately I have another problem, but I'm unable to distill it into a small 
example, which is that when the list has one item in it, and another is added, 
it appears that a duplicate of the first item was made.  I am going to put off 
what I'm working on for now and see if we can switch to Flex 3 later.

Thanks for your help.

[flexcoders] Re: maven compile flex project

[vvandens]

Hi Jonas,
It's always good to talk about design ;-)

So let me clarify (hopefuly) my thoughts. When we talk about MVC, I think that 
there are actually 2 different patterns.

Look at Swing or Flex for instance. They both implement the MVC pattern (maybe 
more MV with a tiny c), right? Their architecture is strongly related to the 
Observer/Observed pattern where the model (Swing model / flex dataprovider) 
notifies its listeners (the gui components) about its changes. Then, the view 
just adapt itself based on the notification it recieves (e.g. an element added 
in a collection). This allows to build rich domain models where the OO 
principles (mainly encapsulation here) are strongly enforced. Your business 
objects live on their own, have their business rules and preserve their 
integrity.
For instance, a table cell editing will set the underlying property of the 
object that may in turn update some other part of the model under its 
responsibility, that will in turn notify some different part of the GUI and 
everything is in sync without anyone having to know the dependency graph. So 
far so good.

But all this is fine and easily implemented in a single memory space (the java 
VM or the Flash one).

Now comes the the client/server distribution. One /old but still useful/ kind 
of approach is to have a pixel-based distribution (X, VNC, Citrix metaframe). 
The application actually runs on the server (with all the GUI stuff minus some 
optimizations) and notifications occur based on painting changes. Sync is 
perfect (actually "synchronized") but it is server-resources and bandwith 
killing (minus some optimizations). Encapsulation is respected.

Now comes the /2nd/ MVC pattern introduced with webapps (mainly Struts in the 
Java world ?), where the model is not responsible of notifying the view anymore 
and everything is based on the following scheme : request -> controller -> 
service (action) -> model -> and... something has to know exactly *what* has 
been modified on the model and *what* part of the view has to change based on 
these modifications. This somehow breaks the OO encapsulation and the nice 
Observer/Observed pattern. It then leads to thin, not to say anorexic, domain 
models where your domain objects become more or less value objects (because you 
don't want them to update something that you won't transparently be notified 
of) and all the intelligence is on the controller part (service included). But 
the good news is that such an architecture is scalable without over-killing 
infrastructure.

With rich clients (i.e. Flex and Swing) comes the extra burden of transfering 
the state back and forth (the value objects). It may be fine with a simple 
(thin, anorexic) model since you can generate your VOs based on your /real/ 
business objects that actually live on the server. But now, your client *has to 
know what* to send to the server on the next round-trip and *when*. Moreover, 
notifications of problems (or updates) issued from server-side computations are 
delayed until the service request comes back. This is much how the Web (and the 
classic webapps) actually work, no ? The request-response scheme on a service 
basis.

The idea I would like to submit is the following : Is there a design in between 
that :
1/ allows me to keep a rich, encapsulated, service aware, domain model; so that 
I can reuse it across different frontends (even faceless ones), different 
applications and all that without re-coding rules that are business domain 
scoped.
2/ is scalable (at least no actual GUI code running on the server)
3/ garantees synchronization with the view whithout having to break 
encapsulation and let me develop as if I were in a single VM (the Swing or Flex 
MVC). In that case, the client-server distribution (and GUI deployment) remains 
an implementation detail instead of being a first citizen of the architecture.

In other words, I'm looking for a seamlessly distributed Observer/Observed 
pattern.

At least in Java, there are a bunch of library projects that implements this 
kind of server-centric, event-driven, GUI development - Canoo ULC , WingS 
(Ajax), Eclipse RAP. They are great but they still consume quite some memory on 
the server since they mimic the complete UI library with faceless objects (that 
have a size, colors, event listeners, ...).

What I've done in Jspresso is keeping a minimalistic UI state on the server 
that is able to comunicate seamlessly with a flex generic UI engine. All they 
exchange are technology agnostic commands (generic framework-scoped events).

The caveats :
- minimize the network round-trips
- keep a request-response scheme (avoid server push of notifications) but on an 
event basis.
Both are avoided by buffering the server-generated events and send them back 
with the response. On the server-side, all you need is a single BlazeDS 
RemoteObject endpoint that is your event dispatcher.

Sorry for the (very) long answer.

Any thoughts, remarks ? Did I loos

Ran your code with Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 3 and was able to reproduce.  The
first suggestion worked.  Fixed it with:

public function addItem():void {
 trace("adding item", stuff.length);
  stuff.addItem({label: stuff.length});
  filtered_stuff.refresh();
}

[flexcoders] Flex Gumbo profiler: Path 1, Path2, etc..

[flexaustin]

So I am trying to profile my application for memory leaks.  I create a memory 
snapshot and when i look at the Object References, expand the reference I don't 
see objects, functions, mx., etc... holding a reference. I only see 7 items 
that say "Path 1", "Path 2"..."Path 7".

Is this something wrong with me or Gumbo?

I can't find the references, thus fix my memory leak.

I think your guess to the problem is right on, your main application extends

What was the exception you got when the app extended NativeApplication?

[flexcoders] goal: copy-flex-resources to webapp/myFolder

[Fernando Wermus]

Hi all!
 I need to achieve the goal to copy my swf file to my webapp project.
But Flexnojo copies to webapp folder, instead webapp/myFolder... I couldn't
find enough info to get this work.

Any help? This is the plugin I am trying to set up.

   
org.sonatype.flexmojos
flexmojos-maven-plugin
3.1.0

[flexcoders] select non-top level items in a hierarchical menu

[Maciek Sakrejda]

I need the ability to select non-leaf items in a hierarchical menu--is
this doable? Basically, suppose I have a dataProvider like this:

[ { label: 'a' },
{ label: 'b', children: [ { label: '1' }, { label: '2' } ] } ]

I want to be able to select a, b, 1, or 2. I can do exactly what I want
with a Tree, but I was hoping for something more compact. It seems that
selecting a node that has children does not dispatch an ITEM_CLICK
event: it just automatically opens the submenu. I'd like to open/close
the submenu on rollOver/rollOut, and dispatch a normal ITEM_CLICK for
that item on a click.

Subject: [flexcoders] Bar Chart Label - probably easy for most to
resolve!!
Date: Mon, 06 Apr 2009 18:54:24 -

Hi all, 
I am wondering if it is possible to use a different field for the label
than the one used in the axis category in a bar chart. 

To expand...



 



 

I am trying to show a bar chart that shows a list of services delivered
by their respect delivery %. I want the label field on the vertical axis
to show the "display name" of the service but I want the bar series to
be based on the "IP" of the service. If I try to use the display name of
the service it backfires because sometimes there are duplicate services
with the same name, then the bar chart just wigs out and draws those
bars on top of each other. But there are never duplicate IP's so I'd be
safe there. I just need clean labels.

Obviously the above code doesn't work but that is where my brain is
right now. Could anyone point me in the right direction.

RE: [flexcoders] DataGrid Column Sort Prevents Drag From Updating DataProvider

[Alex Harui]

A collection is either sorted or not, and if there is a sort, it won't let you 
re-order.  One way to allow re-ordering is, after a Sort (and the 
CollectionEvent.REFRESH event), copy the sorted results into an unsorted 
collection using toArray on the sorted collection.

Hi

I think I've seen this commented on before on flexcoders so sorry for the 
duplication.

In the reply the person who asked the question was told to turn off the Column 
Sort and that would do it but won't this reset the sort order back to default 
before allowing the drag ?

I want to cater for the situation where the user might want to sort the 
DataGrid into reverse alphabetical order and then just drag the resulting first 
row to be the second one.

Maybe I'm using the wrong method of turning off the column sort - I set the 
sort property of the ListColection DataProvider for the DataGrid to null and 
then refresh ?

Any sugegstions please ?

[flexcoders] ListCollectionView w/ a filterFunction as a dataProvider - Flex 2

[bnjmnhggns]

Hi all, I've been having weird problems involving Lists, dataProviders, 
ListCollectionViews with  and ArrayCollections.  I was able to reproduce one of 
my problems below.

I have a ListCollectionView (filtered_stuff) that's viewing an ArrayCollection 
(stuff).  stuff initially just has one element.  filtered_stuff has a 
filterFunction that filters out this element.

Here's the weird part.  Clicking on Add item once does not show the added item 
in the List.  Clicking on Add item again will result in TWO items showing up in 
the list.  After that, clicking Add item behaves as you might expect.

Why is it behaving this way?

Thanks,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Component Kit still needed for CS4?

Nate,

Exactly.  This is my question.  The  adobe website seems to
be inadvertently linking a  CS4 website to a CS3 page because they never
specifically state "Yes, we are sending you from a  CS4 page to a CS3 page,
but you are still required to install this on CS4 as well if you want to use
this particular package as it does not ship as part of CS4".

[flexcoders] Bar Chart Label - probably easy for most to resolve!!

[flexnewbie06]

Hi all, 
I am wondering if it is possible to use a different field for the label than 
the one used in the axis category in a bar chart.  

To expand...



 


 


I am trying to show a bar chart that shows a list of services delivered by 
their respect delivery %.  I want the label field on the vertical axis to show 
the "display name" of the service but I want the bar series to be based on the 
"IP" of the service.  If I try to use the display name of the service it 
backfires because sometimes there are duplicate services with the same name, 
then the bar chart just wigs out and draws those bars on top of each other. But 
there are never duplicate IP's so I'd be safe there.  I just need clean labels.

Obviously the above code doesn't work but that is where my brain is right now.  
Could anyone point me in the right direction.

regards

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How can I call a function from a class?

How about the other way around, how can I access a variable in my main 
mxml from my class package?

Thanks!

There's a couple of ways. If your class and function are static, like a
utility class that doesn't persist any data, just call
Layout.traceTest( ); Note: Classes should be capitalized, in order to
differentiate them from variables. Another way is to instantiate the
class as a variable:

private function callClassFunction( ):void
{
var layout:Layout = new Layout();
layout.traceTest( );
}

[flexcoders] Re: Access active column header (DataGrid)

[valdhor]

As I understand it, there is no backgroundColor style. What I did was
use a graphic fill:

 override protected function
updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void
 {
 super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
 var g:Graphics = graphics;
 g.clear();
 g.beginFill(0xBB);
 g.drawRect(0, -2, unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight + 4);
 g.endFill();
 }

[flexcoders] Debugger can't find source for Slider class

[Aaron Hardy]

Hey flexers,

In my project I'm using a VSlider in one of my components.  In my
component's actionscript, I set the VSlider's value.  I wanted to track that
value going through the VSlider class but FlexBuilder's debugger can't seem
to find the source for Slider (the base class for VSlider).  I can open the
Slider class in Flex builder just fine and set a break point in the value
setter, but it never stops there in the debugger.  Instead, it ends up
stopping at what I assume is the next line of code it can find source for,
which is the FlexEvent constructor.  In the thread stack, it shows:

mx.event::FlexEvent
mx.controls.sliderClasses::Slider/set value [no source]
...my component stuff.

I tried editing the source lookup path.  Currently it's looking for source
inside: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder
3\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\projects\framework\src.  This should be right and
when I attempt to be more specific by adding another source lookup path like
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder
3\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\controls it doesn't seem
to make any difference.

I haven't seen any problems with the debugger finding source for other
framework classes.  I am pulling in SWCs into my project that may have been
built with other sdks.  I doubt any of them use the Slider class themselves
but I wouldn't rule it out.

Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks a lot!

Aaron

Declare a class instance, or make the function static.

It's customary to name classes with a capital letter at the start, instances 
with a lower case.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: BlazeDS or JSON

[Ivan Bojer]

We are using remoting with Blaze. Now, keep in mind that if you do go
JSON route you'll be able to use different UIs (like build small
factor device UI in JS). With remoting you are 'locked in the
solution' (but we like it :) ).

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Eclipse Ganymede

[Vincent Vandenschrick]

What JVM are you using ? On which platform ? Can you catch the error 
message ?

Mine is using :
-startup plugins\org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20081125.jar

But if it's a VM startup error, the problem isn't there... JVMs have max 
heap limitations but 660m is a little bit too low.

Re: [flexcoders] How can I call a function from a class?

[Paul Andrews]

Declare a class instance, or make the function static.

It's customary to name classes with a capital letter at the start, instances 
with a lower case.

private function callClassFunction():void
{
var test:Layout = new Layout();
 test.traceTest();

[flexcoders] Re: How can I call a function from a class?

[Tim Hoff]

There's a couple of ways.  If your class and function are static, like a
utility class that doesn't persist any data, just call
Layout.traceTest();  Note: Classes should be capitalized, in order to
differentiate them from variables.  Another way is to instantiate the
class as a variable:

private function callClassFunction():void
{
  var layout:Layout = new Layout();
  layout.traceTest();
}

Hi everyone, How can I call a function from a class?

// MAIN FILE
import test.layout; 

private function callClassFunction():void
{
test.layout_QT.traceTest();

// CLASS FILE layout.as
package test

[flexcoders] Problems opening window from AIR system tray app

[michob]

Hi folks,

I'm working on an AIR app that lives in the system tray / dock.  It
should not have a visible window at startup, only a system tray icon. 
After some event, I would like to create one of two windows (depending
on the event).  I've got the system tray part working, but can't get the
window to open...

TrayApp.as:


class TrayApp extends Sprite
{
  //  etc 

  function processEvent()
  {
var wnd:Window = new MyWindow();
mywindow.open();
  }
  //  etc 
}



MyWindow.mxml:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";  width="400"
height="300">
   




When I run this, I get an exception deep in UIComponent:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.
 at
mx.core::UIComponent/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::updateC\
allbacks()[C:\autobuild\3.2.0\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\core\\
UIComponent.as:5124]


I suspect that maybe I can't call the open() of Window from my app that
extends Sprite because some of the application framework is missing
(like layout managers, etc..).  Maybe it has to extend
Application/NativeApplication instead?  I tried that, but got another
odd exception.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,
Mitch.

[flexcoders] Re: Sharing objects (BitmapData) between 2 loaded swfs

[p0lish_sausage]

Hi Tracy,

I noticed LocalConnection through the documentation. Although people have 
mentioned that it shares the connection even across multiple pages in the same 
browser, you would end up getting collisions, which is silly. Have you had 
experience working around that problem?

When you have a very large project consisting of many complex elements and 
states, and A LOT of resources, it makes sense to have one swf that has 
ownership of all resources loaded. Then each satellite swf can reference the 
resource repository and thus minimize loading times considerably.

[flexcoders] DataGrid Column Sort Prevents Drag From Updating DataProvider

[chris.cobb40]

Hi

I think I've seen this commented on before on flexcoders so sorry for the 
duplication.

In the reply the person who asked the question was told to turn off the Column 
Sort and that would do it but won't this reset the sort order back to default 
before allowing the drag ?

I want to cater for the situation where the user might want to sort the 
DataGrid into reverse alphabetical order and then just drag the resulting first 
row to be the second one.

Maybe I'm using the wrong method of turning off the column sort - I set the 
sort property of the ListColection DataProvider for the DataGrid to null and 
then refresh ?

Any sugegstions please ?

Thanks

Chris

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Bizarre browser inconsistencies...?

[Maciek Sakrejda]

This could be due to browser caching--it could be that you made the
change, but the browser cached the old .swf, so you never actually
tested that change. Some people append the current time to the .swf
request to get around this issue.

Hello everybody,

I'm playing around with the new sound capabilities of Flash10 and wanted 
to try out an example I found on the internet.
Basically, I ported the "DynamicSoundSample1" from 
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/dynamic_sound_generation/ to 
Flex 3.

But I keep getting the error "Flex error: type was not found or was not 
a compile-time constant: SampleDataEvent".

Indeed, Flex Builder also doesn't show SampleDataEvent in the code 
completition of "import flash.events.".

According to the LiveDocs, SampleDataEvents should be available in
Flex 3.3 (and I recently updated the SDK to 3.3 and updated the project 
options):
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/events/SampleDataEvent.html

What am I doing wrong?

[flexcoders] Dynamic Flex Stacked Column Chart

[jeffreyr6915]

I'd like to create a dynamic Flex Stacked Column Chart at runtime, based on 
values out of a database. The following are the steps that I currently follow 
(without success):

1. Query the database and populate chartIemArrayColl with ChartItem objects
2. Iterate through chartIemArrayColl and only create a a new columnseries 
object if there does not already exist on for that 'selection'. Add this 
columnseries  to the columnset
3. Apply this to the chart

Note: I used secondSeries instead of series because of a known defect in Flex 
that makes the charts off center if series is used.

Problems:

1. The chartIemArrayColl contains items that contain the same 'name' but 
different 'value' and different 'selection'. However, in this case that 
particular 'name' is printed on the x-axis multiple times (not correct)
2. The 'selection' should be the legend, but when it is graphed it does not 
seem as though it is connected to the items actually charted

What I'd like to achieve:

1. Column chart with a legend that contains only values of the 'selection'
2. Stacked Column chart that contains values where I can chart the following 
example:

item1 (name="myName", selection="sel1", value=4)
item2 (name="myName", selection="sel2", value=6)
item3 (name="name3", selection="sel1", value=8)

I expect a chart that has myName and name3 across the x-axis (myName should 
only appear once). A column should appear at myName that has one 
color/selection (value 4) stacked on top of another (value 6). A column should 
be at name3 with the same color/selection as item1 (value 8).

Can you please help me with this? Thanks so much in advance 



ChartItem.as
---
 
package com.dashboard.teamtrack.util
{
public class ChartItem
{
public var name:String;
public var selection:String;
public var value:int;

public function ChartItem()

[flexcoders] Question about accessing Flex from Java

[Mike Foley]

Hi,

I have a question about accessing Flex from Java.

Some context:  I am writing automated JUnit integration tests that will call 
the remote objects in the Flex application that is under test.  We also have 
Junit unit tests  and will have automated Flex GUI tests ... but this 
question is specifically about the integration tests that I want to write in 
Java with JUnit to call the remote objects.

I have a simple integration test that accesses the application:

 AMFConnection myamfConnection = new AMFConnection();


And I *think* it will be easy enough to call the remote objects.  But first, I 
need to login or authenticate ...and I am puzzled.  

The Flex application under test uses "ChannelSets" ... and this is specifically 
where I am puzzled.  I am having trouble figuring out how to login, 
authenticate, or otherwise create the ChannelSet   from a Java client.   

So this is my question  how to access and authenicate with a Flex 
application from a Java client?

Any advice or code snippets is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Michael Foley   

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Bizarre browser inconsistencies...?

[Nate Beck]

Carlos is correct, sub-domains are considered "different" websites when it
comes to cross-domains.  You could of course add a wild-card entry (*.
domain.com) into your cross-domain file if you wish, that way any sub-domain
you have will be able to access "www" and every other and sub-domain.

Hi,
I've used flexmojos on the Jspresso Java/Flex/Ajax framework. The integration 
was really painless and the plugin coverage is impressive. It sometimes lacks 
detailed documentation, but this is something Sonatype and VELO are improving. 
It really stands out.


By the way, if you are working with a Java backend and are fed-up with 
model-view synchronization and value-objects, you should give a try to the 
latest release of the Jspresso RIA framework (LGPL).

[flexcoders] APE physics engine

[flexaustin]

I was wondering if anyone can point me to a tutorial or example of how to apply 
gravity to a displayobject in Flex? 

Like this http://www.zoomorama.com/2477f0e8b447bb6570493cdac464c41f

(if you zoom in and then drag or throw the map it decelerates as it reaches its 
destination).


I know of APE but not sure if that is overkill? I have an object like the web 
trends map that is flat (think board game not a scene) so no top and bottom, 
but an aerial view, that people can drag but I want to add gravity to it.

TIA, J

[flexcoders] Re: Bizarre browser inconsistencies...?

[one_rabbit_one]

Thanks for your response. I had already got the crossdomain.xml set to allow 
both options... Anyway, strangely this morning it is working. Which is even 
stranger, since I haven't changed anything - but makes me concerned since if it 
is a sporadic fault, it will be difficult to know whether the viewer is able to 
see my whole showreel or not.  I will try your re-routing solution.--- In

[flexcoders] Flex Modules and external sources

[thelordsince1984]

Hi,

a little question for you..

i've a module that could load some images from an external directory.

The structure i use is:

projectname
---some sources classes
---imagedir
firstimage.jpg
secondimage.jpg
---modules
mymodule

So i create an mx:image tag into the module and i set the source property equal 
to the image file path (for example firstimage.jpg)..
this solution doesn't work..why?

any solutions?
thanks in advance

regards
Lorenzo

[flexcoders] issues with printing on mac and linux

[stephen_anson]

HI there,
I'm trying to print out a sprite called 'plan', but its not appearing on Mac 
and Linux. Here I draw my plan sprite into a bitmap, add that bitmap to a 
sprite and try and print that. 
I get blanks on Mac and Linux.

Any ideas really appreciated!

var pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
if( pj.start())
{
var planh:Number = plan.height;
var planw:Number = plan.width;
var ph:Number = pj.pageHeight;
var pw:Number = pj.pageWidth;
var bd:BitmapData = new 
BitmapData(planw, planh, false );
var bmp:Bitmap; 

var s:Sprite= new Sprite();


// figure out a scale that will suit 
the print
var rw:Number = planw/pw;
var rh:Number = planh/ph;
bd.draw(plan, null,null,null,null, 
true);
bmp = new Bitmap(bd);
if(rw >1 || rh>1)
{
var scale:Number = rw > rh ? 
1/rw : 1/rh;

bmp.scaleX = scale;
bmp.scaleY = scale;

}
s.addChild(bmp);

pj.addPage(s);
pj.send();

}

[flexcoders] Re: Bizarre browser inconsistencies...?

[carloscarvalhar]

this may be happening because www.domain.com and domain.com are considered 
different domains in some browsers and others no.

try to set the crossdomain to allow both, or redirect trough server always for 
only one domain.
