[flexcoders] Runs in debug mode, but not release build

[jimmy5804]

AIR app. Runs fine in debug, but fails to initialize when build is exported. 
After a long binary search I found it fails silently on addition of a 
particular (important) child. Anyone seen anything like this before?

[flexcoders] Adding text to Cursor: Dilemma

[flexaustin]

So I need to add a hover over when I mouse over and object on the stage. My 
issue is that I am using a framework that creates these objects and puts them 
on a displaylist randomly so they are in no certain order. I tried putting the 
hover over on the object but sometimes these object overlap so my hover is 
behind some of the objects. I can't bring my hovered object to the front/top 
because it has to remain behind a few items. Probably confused you there, but 
just no hover over on the actual moused over object isn't possible.

So I am thinking my two options are create a cursor that has a dynamic 
textfield. Or create a floating text field on the main stage that will turn on 
or off depending if I am hovering.  I prefer the cursor version but the issue 
is I don't want the text to count as part of the mouse when moving around as 
text in the hover could be quite long  thus hovering over two objects at once.

Suggestions?

 

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Why would "as" keyword not work

[Alex Harui]

In theory, the main app's definition should supercede the module's definition 
unless he loaded the module into a separate appdom instead of the default child 
appdom, but if he did that, I would expect other problems from ModuleLoader.

Note that anytime you specify to load a module directly into the main app's 
appdom, that module cannot be unloaded, so I'd only do things like that in 
special cases.

Steve,
My guess at what is going on - based on my limited understanding of
what you're doing - is:

- You have your class definition (DetailData) compiled in to your main
application and into your module.
- You load your module into your main application
- Because you have not specifed that you want your module to be in the
same ApplicationDomain as the main application, its class definitions
remain segregated from the main application's class definition.
- Your module creates the DetailData (whether on return from remoting
call or not) by instantiating it's own definition of DetailData (call
it class DetailDataA, if that helps).
- The event fires from your module to your application.
- Your event handler tries to cast the created object - which is of
type DetailDataA - to its _own_ definition of DetailData (call it
class DetailDataB). Hence your error.

No matter that the two class definitions are actually identical -
because they are not in the same ApplicationDomain, the code treats
them as separate.

Now, if you alter your module loading so that you pass in
ApplicationDomain.currentDomain as the domain you want the module to
load into, the problem should go away.
(ModuleLoader.applicationDomain=ApplicationDomain.currentDomain)

I hope that makes some sort of sense. Of course, I may have totally
misunderstood your situation!

HTH,
Ian

You called init() from your the constructor, so it is called as soon as you do 
'new CreateAcctDialog()'. Since you have to "new" it somewhere before you can 
set acctDialog.acctName, the name was getting set too late and it was null when 
init() was called

You are exactly right! It worked perfectly when I added a listener for the

[flexcoders] Trigger DateFormatter bindings

[Ben Reynolds]

Hey guys,

   Is there a way to trigger the binding on all related items when
changing the DateFormatter's formatString? eg.  becomes MMM, 
via actionscript in the following:




I'd prefer not to be manually injecting the new format into each of the
text objects every time.

It's probably not the editor bits that are hard, but the debugging
bits which have to reach outside of the Java world to work. Ditto with
the profiler bits I'd say, and any other components that need to
communicate with AIR directly.

As for the design view, they might be reaching out and using a
platform-specific component to render the design, so that it would
match the output better than rewriting the entire rendering engine in
Java?

Who knows (unless you decompile FB possibly), but Java and Eclipse
aren't inherently cross-platform all the time given what they need to
do.

A really difficullt viewpoint to understand.

FB != Flex - there's always the SDK - most people don't use the design view 
that much - do they?

Why should Adobe invest in a product that costs money to develop but has a 
low adoption rate?

You may not be happy to bet your products on the whim of Adobe, but you do 
seem happy to bet your customers come only from the linux world.

You seem happy to ditch the benefits of flex as a rapid development platform 
for rich applications in favour of  XXX simply because one development tool 
may not be available on Linux - doesn't seem to be a sensible approach to 
decide software architectures.

I don't have a problem with open source, but many people see it as a mantra 
for ife, whch is OK, but sometimes there are indirect costs to avoiding 
commercial wares.

I have yet to meet anyone outside the geek/software development world using 
Linux, so I'm curious about your targetted product market!

Anyway, the choice is yours.

Well, Linux in the everyday world is still well under my radar as is the 
immenent death of the desktop. 

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Builder on Linux been scrapped ?

[daxdr9]

This is hardly a surprise given the current economic conditions, assuming the 
ROI isn't there for the FB Linux product at this time.  Does anyone really not 
own at least one Windows-based PC or Apple computer?  (I'm sure there are 
people who only run Linux--a very small percentage, though)

If your willing to drop Flex because they don't sell an IDE for Linux, you're 
basing a technical decision on emotion.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Builder on Linux been scrapped ?

Guy I could use the bare SDK of course. I hadn't really tried it before
because the Flex Builder Eclipse plugin seemed like a good idea. And
there is *some* support for it in the community, I don't know how much.
You're right I should try that before I give up.

"blame" Adobe is not quite right, "trust" is more like it. Watching Java
slowly worm its way out of Sun's grasp to the point where its now more
or less open-source should provide a positive prediction for the
eventual outcome, but Adobe ain't Sun, but then Sun ain't either now.

Does Adobe have the right corporate culture to nurture an open-source
project?   I like the way they are running Flex otherwise, but maybe I
indulged in wishful thinking on the Linux support.

I'm going to continue to stay out of the fray, but just to be clear, that

We'll be looking to share more information on our plans in a few weeks.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Builder on Linux been scrapped ?

[Guy Morton]

Wouldn't you still be able to build your own IDE using the free SDK?  
As I understand it a lot of people do this now to avoid having to buy  
FB, and I imagine Linux users would be relatively common within that  
group.


If sales for a linux version of FB are too low to justify the ongoing  
cost of development, you can hardly blame Adobe for that. Their  
support for *nix is better than most.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Why would "as" keyword not work

[Ian Thomas]

Steve,
   My guess at what is going on - based on my limited understanding of
what you're doing - is:

- You have your class definition (DetailData) compiled in to your main
application and into your module.
- You load your module into your main application
- Because you have not specifed that you want your module to be in the
same ApplicationDomain as the main application, its class definitions
remain segregated from the main application's class definition.
- Your module creates the DetailData (whether on return from remoting
call or not) by instantiating it's own definition of DetailData (call
it class DetailDataA, if that helps).
- The event fires from your module to your application.
- Your event handler tries to cast the created object - which is of
type DetailDataA - to its _own_ definition of DetailData (call it
class DetailDataB). Hence your error.

No matter that the two class definitions are actually identical -
because they are not in the same ApplicationDomain, the code treats
them as separate.

Now, if you alter your module loading so that you pass in
ApplicationDomain.currentDomain as the domain you want the module to
load into, the problem should go away.
(ModuleLoader.applicationDomain=ApplicationDomain.currentDomain)

I hope that makes some sort of sense. Of course, I may have totally
misunderstood your situation!

HTH,
   Ian

[flexcoders] Extending the AdvancedDataGridGroupItemRenderer

[flexcoders] Streaming video does not recover from buffer empty

[rituraj_tiwari]

Folks,
I am playing an FLV over RTMP using Red5 0.7. My video player is written in
Flex/AS3. It works fine for most videos. However, for some videos, I see the
following traces in my Flex debugger:



onMetaData: 

videodatarate : 0

audiosamplerate : 44100

height : 720

framerate : 23.97598627787307

filesize : 7897745

duration : 39.623

videocodecid : 2

audiocodecid : 2

width : 1280

stereo : true

audiosamplesize : 16

Buffer Full

Buffer Empty



These traces are generated by my code in the video player. Once the buffer
empty message is displayed, the video player seems unable to fill its buffer
and video playback is halted.


Does anyone have any insights into what might be going wrong here?


Thanks.

-Raj

Re: [flexcoders]Where does my SWF gain it's weight?

[dorkie dork from dorktown]

Ah forgot I had embedded fonts. About 620kb was shaved off when I commented
out those bad boys. FWIW it was "lucinda grand" bold and normal. I didn't
think they would weigh in that much.

Has Adobe thought of hosting common embedded font RSLs like they are hosting
the Flex Framework RSL?

For example,
Once someone downloads, "Lucinda Grand" embedded font from Adobe's site it
gets cached, just like the Flex framework RSL and they never have to
download that font again.

Oh. I thought you can get past the module dependency by linking the SWC and

Here are few things I have found.  They may help, they may not.

 

Ultimately I find that projects under version control have been my issues.
Let me explain. I have found (at least through SDK 3.0 and 3.1) that an
upgrade to the SDK causes the local project file to go through some update
but when a later SCM update occurs, you get an old versions project files
and crasho. The new SDK is expecting a known project file and gets
hair-balled by what came in from source control. I have tried cutting and
pasting another copy, reverting, trying to fix by hand, etc but in the end,
I find that I have had to create a new blank project and copy all the files
(except for the project files) and reconfigure the library path, and the
rest of the goo. You will need the new library properties, and other . (dot)
files as well from the new project. Bring in the old ones and you die. I'll
bet you can close each of your projects and the crashes will stop when the
offending project(s) is closed. 

 

The list of source files to be compiled can be corrupted.  I believe this is
the real issue with reverting project files but don't have a good handle on
why - but you should try disabling incremental compilation.  Add
"-incremental=false" to the compiler settings in the Flex Compiler tab of
the Properties.  This will effectively ignore the .cache files.  Compile
times will be longer - but hopefully that is offset by having a stable
environment. Flex uses cache files to persist previously compiled objects.
And a clean build doesn't necessarily refresh the cache files.  It is benign
to backup and remove those .cache files. They live in a few places so you
will need to find the
.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects directory and within
that directory, you will find one for every Flex project. For example
./metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resoures/.projects/MYPROJECT/com.adobe.
flexbuilder.project/MyProject.cache. For each release, I like to clean these
out regardless.

[flexcoders] Flash CS4 3d to Flex, issue with fieldOfView being different in Flex [1 Attachment]

[Guillaume Malartre]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a work flow between FlashCS4 3d assets and Flex. I
almost got it working with the perspectiveProjection assigned in each
MovieClip.

I attached to this email a .fla showing that wherever you put on the Flash
CS4 stage the "ui_book_teachersintro" it get its perspectiveProjection
correctly once compiled.

In the Flex project I load this class and when I add it to the stage, the
instance have the same perspectiveProjections' values. But it doesn't render
the fieldOfView the same way Flash CS4 does.

In Flash I assign fieldOfView = 33 and in Flex its around 61 for an
equivalence. Anyone know why?

There's no documentation or tutorial about bringing Flash CS4 3d inside
Flex.

I tried with SDK 3.3.0, 4.0.0 and its the same..

Guillaume

It all comes down to your applicationDomain topology.  I'd be checking

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Why would "as" keyword not work





The VO is being used by this module (And is not used anywhere else). It gets 
populated from a remote object call that this module makes on creationcomplete. 
The arrayCollection of these returned VO's are used to populate a dataGrid.

Now, one column of the dataGrid uses an item renderer based on linkButton. When 
a link is clicked I'd like to have the data in that row passed to another 
component. This other component expects a VO in its constructor.

So, in the itemRenderer, I try to coerce the data property of the event (Which 
should be the VO since the datagrid uses it AND the debugger says it is the 
VO). The coercion fails and I get a null object passed to my component.

This works fine in an application but fails in a module. What I have done is 
moved the click event handler up one level to the datagrid itself and used 
event.target.selectedItem instead of event.target.data and it works fine.

[flexcoders] Re: Why would "as" keyword not work

[valdhor]

The VO is being used by this module (And is not used anywhere else). It gets 
populated from a remote object call that this module makes on creationcomplete. 
The arrayCollection of these returned VO's are used to populate a dataGrid.

Now, one column of the dataGrid uses an item renderer based on linkButton. When 
a link is clicked I'd like to have the data in that row passed to another 
component. This other component expects a VO in its constructor.

So, in the itemRenderer, I try to coerce the data property of the event (Which 
should be the VO since the datagrid uses it AND the debugger says it is the 
VO). The coercion fails and I get a null object passed to my component.

This works fine in an application but fails in a module. What I have done is 
moved the click event handler up one level to the datagrid itself and used 
event.target.selectedItem instead of event.target.data and it works fine.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Eclipse Crashing

[Peter Farland]

Ah - for the second part, go into each of the Flex Library projects' properties 
panels, look at the "Flex Build Path" section, then select the "Library path" 
tab. Expand the "Flex 3" node and look at the *.swc files that are listed 
(which is effectively your library path for compilation). For example, a Flex 
project would need playerglobal.swc and framework.swc at a minimum, but other 
swcs may not be needed so you could try reducing the list to the bare minimum 
to save memory.

[flexcoders] Re: Eclipse Crashing

[Geoffrey]

I probably don't REALLY need all these projects, but that's the way it was 
originally set up.  It's a very large project.  Hundreds of thousands of lines 
of code.  So that's how it evolved into the beast it is today.

We use Maven to build our production builds, but all the developers build via 
the IDE.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Why would "as" keyword not work

[Pedro Sena]

Pedro - The ValueObject is only being used by this particular module - not
by the application (Or any other module).

If the VO is not being used, why are you trying to cast to it?

I think I didn't understand.

BTW, Have you done the test that I suggest ?

[flexcoders] How do I assign a custom CartesianTransform to a ColumnChart?

[EddieBerman]

Anyone with CartesianTransform knowledge?

I'm having a good bit of difficulty getting a dynamically assigned custom
CartesianTransform to work. I'm not finding a whole lot of sample code to learn
from and am currently slogging through the framework code trying to determine
what's up.

The problem is that once I assign the new Transform, the columns no longer
display. It seems that the new Tranform doesn't seem to have the needed
ColumnSeries data. Why this data isn't assigned when the Transform is created
and attached to the series is a bit of a mystery. Is there another step needed,
or is this a bug?


Hopefully someone with more knowledge or experience can point me in the right
direction.
I just spent way too much time with a related dataTransform issue before I
realized that it was indeed an unreported bug
(https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDMV-2103), and I'd prefer to know more
quickly if this too is a bug, or just inexperience.

I've made a simple demo to demonstrate the problem. The code is below.

Thanks in advance.
Eddie B.

Steps:
1) Compile and run the 2 files below (main app and custom transform)
2) Click the Change Data button to see that the data changes correctly.
3) Click the Set Transforms button to assign the new transform.
4) Click the Change Data button again to see the columns fail to display.

[flexcoders] How do I assign a custom CartestianTransform to a ColumnChart?

[EddieBerman]

Anyone with CartesianTransform knowledge?

I'm having a good bit of difficulty getting a dynamically assigned custom 
CartesianTransform to work. I'm not finding a whole lot of sample code to learn 
from and am currently slogging through the framework code trying to determine 
what's up. 

The problem is that once I assign the new Transform, the columns no longer 
display. It seems that the new Tranform doesn't seem to have the needed 
ColumnSeries data. Why this data isn't assigned when the Transform is created 
and attached to the series is a bit of a mystery. Is there another step needed, 
or is this a bug?


Hopefully someone with more knowledge or experience can point me in the right 
direction. 
I just spent way too much time with a related dataTransform issue before I 
realized that it was indeed an unreported bug 
(https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDMV-2103), and I'd prefer to know more 
quickly if this too is a bug, or just inexperience.

I've made a simple demo to demonstrate the problem. The code is below.

Thanks in advance.
Eddie B.

Steps:
1) Compile and run the 2 files below (main app and custom transform)
2) Click the Change Data button to see that the data changes correctly.
3) Click the Set Transforms button to assign the new transform.
4) Click the Change Data button again to see the columns fail to display.

[flexcoders] Re: Why would "as" keyword not work

[valdhor]

Alex - I have read your Modules presentation about twenty times so far as well 
as any other documentation I could find on Modules and Application Domains. I'm 
pretty sure I understand everything so far.

Pedro - The ValueObject is only being used by this particular module - not by 
the application (Or any other module).

Ian - All other modules work fine with the exchange data. Note that the 
exchange data and this value object are two different things. I am NOT passing 
this value object as part of the exchange data. The VO gets created from a 
remoteObject call.

All the above being said, I think I have found my problem. The click event was 
handled in the renderer. This works fine in an application but does not seem to 
in a module. By moving the click handler to the datagrid component, the error 
disappears.

This problem crept in whilst I was moving my monolithic app to a series of 
modules.


Thanks for taking the time to push me in the right direction.



Steve

If anyone can enlighten me as to why click events in item renderers work 
differently in modules than applications, please do.

Re: [flexcoders] Eclipse Crashing

[Pedro Sena]

Do you REALLY need all those projects?

If they are not different modules (and even if they are) you should try to
divide them in packages instead of Projects.

If this is REALLY necessary, I suggest you to build your project using maven
instead of using your IDE to do it.

Even to manage this caothic scenario it will help you.

If you want to try maven, take a look at m2eclipse and flex-mojos

RE: [flexcoders] Eclipse Crashing

[Peter Farland]

Are you mixing AIR and Flex library projects in the same workspace?

Have you tried excluding all of the Flex SDK swcs from the project library path 
that are not needed by each project?

Perhaps the simplest thing is to provide some screenshots. Attached are pngs
for the same app, in the same state (just after loading), on four different
browsers. You'll note the different vertical position of the tabs.

The relevant code is:











The CSS for the Application contains:

Application {
color: #081263;
backgroundColor:#9bc8f2;
background-repeat:repeat-x;
background-image: Embed(source='assets/images/bg.png');

}

I've also attached the actual background png.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Why would "as" keyword not work

[Ian Thomas]

As Pedro says - my guess would be that you are passing a DetailData
object from one module to the other when you haven't loaded the
modules in the same ApplicationDomain (or from one compiled .swf to
another, if you're not using modules).

Take a look at the documentation for ApplicationDomain.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Why would "as" keyword not work

[Pedro Sena]

Forgot to say:

In the same class(in your module) that is receiving the parameter from your
app.

Another thing, make sure your main app and your module are in the same
application domain, if you have some doubt about it, please post here the
code that you are using to load your module.

[flexcoders] Eclipse Crashing

[Geoffrey]

Recently, FB(Eclipse) keeps crashing on me.  I've looked all over the place for 
solutions, have tried many, but none seem to do the trick.

My current setup is:
Eclipse 3.4.2 (M20090211-1700)
FB 3.0.2.214193
Flex SDK 3.3
JDK 1.6.0_13

My eclipse.ini is:
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
-framework
plugins\org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.3.R34x_v20081215-1030.jar
-vm
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_13\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Xms1024M
-Xmx1024M
-XX:PermSize=256M
-XX:MaxPermSize=512M
-XX:+UseParallelGC
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote

Our Flex application is a collection of 30 projects (one main one and 29 flex 
library projects).  All have to be open at the same time or else you get 
build(dependency) errors.

There's a few projects that are linked to many of the other projects.  For 
example, we have a project that holds all of the VOs.  Making changes to that 
project always took a long time to build (several minutes), but now it crashes 
with OutOfMemory errors.

I've run jconsole to watch the JVM performance statistics.  I don't fully 
understand all the numbers, but I can see that my PS Old Gen pool gets 100% 
full, and that's when I usually expect a crash to happen soon.

My machine has 8GB of RAM, although I can only allocate 1GB to Eclipse it 
seems.  If I raise -Xmx higher than 1024M, Eclipse won't even start.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
 ~Geoff

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Why would "as" keyword not work

[Pedro Sena]

Hmmm

Appears to be the most common problem...

Please make a test:

Create a dummy variable in the same class that you are using your VO,
something like

var dummy:DetailData = null;

Keep the rest of the code and tell me the results.

RE: [flexcoders] Visual positioning difference between browsers

[Alex Harui]

I can't quite picture what you are describing.  I would make sure that things 
are properly sized by probing display objects.  My favorite trick is to set a 
breakpoint on SystemManager.as:mouseDownHandler, wait until the app is stable, 
then click.  From there you can explore the various display objects to see what 
size and position they are.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply.

Nope. I was unclear about one thing: the logo is actually placed within the 
Application file. It's not part of the background.

The background is a 10-pixel-wide, 550-pixel-high PNG. The background-repeat 
style for the application is "repeat-x," so it shouldn't be stretched.

Time for you to read the presentation on Modules on my blog.  It should explain

Yes, I have an interface which I am implementing in the modules. It has a 
single set method that populates a single object with data.

The data transfer is from application to modules only.

[flexcoders] Formatting a bound value within a Text object

[Tom McNeer]

This seems so simple, yet I can't figure it out -- nor can I find guidance
from the docs or from Google.

I want to format a date which is being returned from a RemoteObject call.
The object created from the service call is bindable, so I can display the
object.myDate as it changes.

But I need to format the date after it changes. And I'd prefer to do it
within my view, rather than the model.

Do I need to create a separate listener for the change event on the bindable
object somehow, or is there a simpler way?

[flexcoders] Sql Server HierarchyID data type into AdvancedDataGrid?

[jack_freud]

I wonder if there's a way other than manually creating a hierarchical data 
structure with arraycollections, of turning the return from a query using the 
new HierarchyID data type from Sql Server?

The return looks like this:

/
/1/
/1/1/
/1/2/
/1/2/
/2/
/3/

etc.

Thanks,
Jack

[valdhor]

Hmmm. Looks like I misspoke. now I get...

Type coercion failed. Cannot convert Model.ValueObjects::detaild...@11c0a941 to 
Model.ValueObjects.DetailData.

What is the difference between a 

Model.ValueObjects::DetailData

and a 

Model.ValueObjects.DetailData

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply.

Nope. I was unclear about one thing: the logo is actually placed within the
Application file. It's not part of the background.

The background is a 10-pixel-wide, 550-pixel-high PNG. The background-repeat
style for the application is "repeat-x," so it shouldn't be stretched.

You are exactly right! It worked perfectly when I added a listener for the

Is the background image being stretched to handle different stage sizes?

Hi,

The top of my application area shows a logo and some other static visual 
information which comes from a background image for the Application. Included 
as part of this background image is a horizontal bar which runs the width of 
the screen. The main Application file has "layout=absolute."

A TabNavigator for the main views of the Application is meant to display its 
tabs within the horizontal bar.

However, the tabs display at different y coordinates in different browsers. If 
I set the y coordinate at 111, the positioning is correct in IE7. In IE6, the 
tabs are one pixel higher in relation to the background. In Firefox, the tabs 
are ~5 pixels too low. And in Safari, they are approximately 15 pixels too low.

I didn't think these things were supposed to happen within the Flash Player.

I have a bit of a perplexing problem (With a workaround).

In a datagrid I have an itemRenderer that sets one column to a linkButton. In 
the constructor I have...

addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, handleLinkClicked);

I also have a valueObject imported...

import Model.ValueObjects.DetailData;

Now, in my eventListener I try to coerce the event.target.data to a detailData 
object like so...

var currentItem:DetailData = event.target.data as DetailData;

I have confirmed that event.target.data is an object of type 
Model.ValueObjects.DetailData.

If I set a breakpoint here, then currentItem is null.

If I try...

var currentItem:* = event.target.data;

then currentItem is properly populated as a Model.ValueObjects.DetailData 
object.

The only way to get it to work properly is to do...

var currentItem:DetailData = event.target.data as Model.ValueObjects.DetailData;

Also, there is only one class file named DetailData.

So, why is it that I import the correct class but it fails to coerce unless I 
set the full path to the class file?

Mine was actually pretty simple to solve.  I had apparently just forget to use

I don't believe you need that. I do what you are doing all the time although I 
don't do it in the init method (I am assuming you are calling the init method 
on initialize of the component?). I would try calling it on creationComplete 
(That's what I do). You may find that the initialize method runs before you get 
a chance to set acctName.

[flexcoders] Re: Outputting a variable into htmlText

[fumeng5]

The String I'm constructing is inside a PopUp dialog bog. I set it from another 
component a la:

private function createAcct():void {

acctDialog.acctName   = accountName;
PopUpManager.addPopUp(acctDialog,this as Canvas,true);
}

The accessor methods for acctName look like this:

private var _acctName:String;
public function set acctName(s:String):void{
acctName = s;
}
[Bindable]
public function get acctName():String{
return _acctName;
}

And I set the content.htmlText property in the init() method when acctName is 
null. So, I think the solution is to use binding utils in the init() method, 
like this:

BindingUtils.bindProperty(content,'htmlText',msgString);

but I think I'm missing an argument in there...i think it needs 4 args. 

Thank you very much for your help.

Trying not to be the heretic in the group, Mac, Linux and PC have an
installed ftp client that can be easily used if you take a few moments to
understand the commands underneath all of these clients. Get a command line
and type in ftp. I use it extensively for scripted backups and automated
deployment scripts and the commands cross all platforms.  If you need drag
and drop, it's not for you, if you want to do something simple..

Basically you need to compile the properties file into your swf, 
you can do it by adding to the compiler arguments in flex builder.
The arguments I found relevant are "-locale=en_US 
-allow-source-path-overlap=true -source-path=locale/en_US" 
(the source path is the path under src you have to create these folders).

Having said all that this is working inconsistently for me, 
you can see my question from a bit earlier today... 
I'll be happy to hear how this works for you.

Hi. This tutorial should help you. 

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/blazeds_gettingstarted_04.html

It has an example of populating a datagrid with the result of a RemoteObject 
call. 

Hope that helps.

[flexcoders] Re: Outputting a variable into htmlText

[fumeng5]

Ok, I see what you're saying. So here's the constructor for my component that 
is responsible for all this:

public function CreateAcctDialog()
{
super();
init();
}

...and init():

private function init():void
{   
msgString = "The account " + this.acctName + " has 
been created "
}

and the last part: 
content.htmlText = msgString;

This comes out as: The account null has been created. 

I thought the init() method would handle the proper setting of this var.

Another workaround is use GraniteDS instead of BlazeDS.

[flexcoders] Re: blazeds mapping issue with Set

[aglosband]

Hi Max. There was another bug logged to add support for Java 5.0 syntax (which 
I take to mean Generics) to RemoteObjects.  

https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/BLZ-115

That bug has unfortunately been deferred for the time being but I'd suggest 
that you view the bug report and vote on it which will help the issue get some 
visibility and hopefully get it fixed faster. 

There is a workaround for this issue which is outlined by wichan in this bug 
report. 

https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/BLZ-305

The workaround is to write a wrapper class for Long which then using a 
BeanProxy will get mapped back to java.lang.Long before the remoting service is 
called. 

Using this approach you would send a MyLong type across the wire from your Flex 
application to the server. The MyLong type would get deserialized to the MyLong 
java class which would then get passed through the BeanProxy (in the example in 
the bug it's called MyLongProxy) and come out the other end as a Long. This 
would then get passed to the remoting service. 

If you are passing an array collection of MyLong objects this would get turned 
into a Set of Long objects so your RemoteObject code would not have to change. 

Hope that helps.

[flexcoders] Resource bundles and Modules

[Todd]

Hello All,
  I have some Modules (Cairngorm-based if that matters), that I want to have 
their own resource.property files that are compiled into the module.
  I can't seem to get it working. 
  Should I be looking down the path of manually adding my resource strings to 
the ResourceManger when my Module loads?  Or, is there something more built-in 
to Flex that I'm missing.  (When I try searching on this topic, I'm mostly only 
finding how to bundle your resources in seperate module.swfs...which isn't what 
I'm looking for.  I just want to have the the Module's resources compiled 
within it.)

Thanks,
Todd

Think something like draw a rectangle.
Find its bounds.
Create a rect from these bounds.
Then maybe assign this rect to a displayobject scrollrect?

Hi. The BlazeDS developer guide has some tips on how to debug your application. 

http://livedocs.adobe.com/blazeds/1/blazeds_devguide/help.html?content=build_apps_6.html

I'd recommend turning on client side logging and then taking a look at the 
flashlog.txt file that gets generated. If you need help interpreting what's in 
the flashlog post back to the thread and someone can take a look at it for you. 
Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: Outputting a variable into htmlText

[valdhor]

For the first part, you are setting the value of msgString during its 
declaration. At this point acctName will be null. You would need to declare 
msgString and then assign it in a creationComplete handler.

Secondly, you can't do this in ActionScript:

content.htmlText = "{msgString}"

You have to do this:

content.htmlText = msgString

The "{}" syntax is to bind a variable in MXML.

Also, For the above, the variable does not need to be bindable.

[flexcoders] Automatically scroll down to component

[GeeTee]

Hi everyone,

I am working on a dashboard in which in the base state some data (several
indices with their data split by time) will be visible in a datagrid and the
user can switch the state to the one in which for every index, there will be
charts one below the other. I want to implement an itemClick event such that
on clicking on any index in the datagrid, the state switched to the "charts"
state and the chart corresponding to the clicked index is shown on the
screen. That is, in case I clicked on the 10th index (such that the 10th
chart would have been hidden in the charts view and user would have to
scroll to it) in the datagrid, automatically, the state would switch and the
page would have automatically scrolled down to show the 10th chart.

I tried setFocus() method of UIComponent class but it did not help. (Note
that the charts are the same custom component each having a different
dataProvider).

Please let me know how I can implement this.

Thanks.
Gaurav

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Anyone have issue with AIR updater on Mac OSX

[Buck DeFore]

Ugh.. beware also what stalled me for a while tonight...
Using the 1.5.1 sdk I figured I'd need to update the line:

http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/1.0";>

to

http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/1.5.1";>

in my update.xml ... turns out this causes an error to be thrown...

[StatusUpdateErrorEvent (type=updateError text=unknown update version
id=16815 + subErrorID=0)]

Seems strange that that namespacing hasn't been updated to 1.5.1, or that
changing it to 1.5.1 breaks the parser. On a lighter note, I'm on Leopard
and it wasn't necessary to use the setTimeout nor the applicationComplete
workarounds.

[flexcoders] Re: Outputting a variable into htmlText

[fumeng5]

Thanks for your responses. 

What I mean is that in the 1st case:
content.htmlText = "The account " + this.acctName + " has been created."

...the message comes out to be: The account null has been created. However, I 
can use the debugger to see that acctName is definitely being set correctly. 

And in the second case:
[Bindable]
private var msgString:String = "The account " + this.acctName + " hasbeen 
created .

content.htmlText = "{msgString}"

...the message comes out to be: {msgString}

Now I'm not setting 'msgString' right away. I build it in the setter for 
acctName, as in:
[Bindable]
private var msgString:String;

public function set acctName(s:String):void{
_acctName = s;
msgString = "The account " + _acctName + " has been created "
}
[Bindable]
public function get acctName():String{
return _acctName;
}

I'm pretty sure this should be working and I must be missing something small. 
Thank you for your help, it's very appreciated.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Outputting a variable into htmlText

[Pedro Sena]

try

[Bindable]
private var msgString:String = "The account " + this.acctName + " has
been created .

content.htmlText = "{msgString}"

and make sure your acctName is not blank.

[flexcoders] Re: Multiple chart effects conflicting with each other

[valdhor]

The problem is due to the different durations for the effects. Stting them all 
to the same value fixes the problem.

I don't know whether this is a bug or whether it's just a limitation of a 
parallel effect. Someone else may have further input.

HTH.

[flexcoders] Re: How come setting the responder (async token) after the server call does WORKS???

[valdhor]

This is from a thread (sic) response from Seth Hodgson about a year ago...

There is a single thread that advances through SWF frames and runs your 
ActionScript code and event handlers, but network calls are performed by 
separate background threads concurrently.

In order to have calls processed concurrently on the server, they need to 
arrive as separate requests. In the case of AMF, if you make a series of calls 
quickly chances are good/excellent that the Player will batch them up and send 
them to the server in the body of a single HTTP POST.

do you mind sharing an example?

[flexcoders] Re: popup progress bar will uploading file

[Cato Paus]

in the titleWindow you can call the PopUpManager.removePopUp(this); called from 
Complete Event as you have done, or you can dispatch the Complete Event to 
parent, and kill the popup ther , 
(The PopUpManager is a singleton so you can access it form enyware)

[flexcoders] Re: How to 'undo' the changes in the flex client w/ LCDS when a rollback is isssued?

I would totally see it as a bug. If LCDS manages the object, it is its role to 
propagate up the rollback. No question about it.

Good luck in your new adventure, whatever it is!
