[flexcoders] Need to save Employee Form data in a database

[shabirgilkar]

Hi Flexers!

I am fresher just learning the flex, can any body help me how to save data in a 
database and what kind of setting i need to follow. I mean to say to save data 
in a access database.

Thanks

[flexcoders] Sending textinput id

[Gustavo]

Hi, I have a form and I would like to add the textinput id to an array so I 
know which fields were edited, I trigger the change event on each one but I 
can't send the textinput id via the event.
any of this I'm saying makes sense? and if it does, how do I do it, or maybe 
there is a better way to update only the fields edited in a form?

Some light about this would be really appreciated. thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: Tracking a sprite's position

[Tim Hoff]

This all sounds like overkill; since you are really only interested in
UIComponentB knowing the position of SpriteC.  If you make SpriteC
public, is it possible to bind the x/y values for UIComponentB to
uiComponentA.spriteC.x and y (localToContent)?

If you can't use a subclass or you won't have so many Sprites that
polling will matter, polling will probably be sufficient.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Tracking a sprite's position

[Alex Harui]

If you can use a subclass of Sprite that dispatches the events you need, that 
will be the least expensive solution in terms of CPU usage.  If you can't use a 
subclass or you won't have so many Sprites that polling will matter, polling 
will probably be sufficient.

My thought was that since all of the Sprites of UIComponentA were
children, they would invalidate the display list of UIComponentA
whenever they were changed. I forget that Sprites are their own beast.
If you can't find a way to listen for changes to all of the Sprite's
position/size, and trigger action on the common canvas, enterframe
starts to sound more and more appealing. I'm still wondering though,
what you plan to do onEnterFrame, in order to re-position UIComponentB.
For a parent or sibling to know about a component's state (or it's
children), events and public vars/methods are usually employed. I'm
interested to hear what you end up doing for this edge-case.
Challenging for me, I can say.

There is a datagrid with an external itemrenderer which opens a popup.  Along

Oh sure, that's what I mean by cooperation.  Your SWF has to request the other 
SWF to stop.

Thanks Alex. That's too bad. On this project, we're stuck then with no support 
for external .swfs that have sound since we're using FP9. Bummer.

I wonder if we could use LocalConnection to communicate with the AVM1 Captivate 
or Camtasia files to stop the sound. Possible in theory?

I am creating an app. in which a need to display some thumbnails on a TileList, 
but the thumbnails are not visible on the TileList. However, if a click on a 
tile it does what it is suppose to do and it creates the number of tiles 
according to the data provider, only the tiles are not visible.

My code is:




the item renderer component is:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; width="200" paddingTop="0" 
paddingBottom="0" xmlns:controls="com.asfusion.controls.*" 
horizontalAlign="center" verticalGap="0" toolTip="{data.description.text()}" 
backgroundColor="0xcc" borderColor="0x293f6f" borderThickness="2">











The data provider is an XMLList.
If a replace the TileList with a list or horizontalList the item renderer is 
visible. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Tracking a sprite's position

[Aaron Hardy]

What would be invalidating UIComponent A's display list?  It's my 
understanding that if Sprite B were to be scaled (which is likely--it is 
a graphic editing app afterall) but not Sprite A, the display list of 
UIComponent A would never be invalidated, so updateDisplayList wouldn't 
be called in that case.  The same is true if Sprite C were scaled or 
moved but not any members of its parent chain.  Yet UIComponent B still 
needs to stay stuck to Sprite C.  Again, I definitely could be wrong.


I guess the simple answer would be to make any tool or button or 
anything that scales or moves anything inside UIComponent A trigger 
UIComponent B to update its location, but I can already think of quite a 
fiew places that would have to happen and it seems like future 
developers would intrinsically have to know that if they make a new tool 
that modifies the position/scale of any of the elements that they need 
to trigger UIComponent B to update its position.  Ugh.  That's what I'm 
trying to avoid.


Keep 'em coming if you've got 'em.  It's not a dire situation so I'll 
save my dire need credits for later if needed. :)

[flexcoders] Re: Tracking a sprite's position

[Tim Hoff]

Batting .000 so far.  The only other thing that I can think of, is to
move UIComponentB into UIComponnentA, same level as SpriteC, and bind
the position of UIComponentB to the x and y (plus any offset) of
SpriteC.  Sorry that I couldn't have offered more useful help.  It
sounds like you have an interesting use-case.  Good luck Aaron.

[flexcoders] Re: LCDS: can two assemblers use same entity object?

[Rajeev Goel]

using a different entity (created a new entity which is replica of employee
and named manager) solves the issue.
looks like LCDS follows a simple strategy: one entity for each assembler, no
reuse.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Tracking a sprite's position

[Aaron Hardy]

Unfortunately that isn't a great option in our case.  The sprite in 
question is part of a graphical editor where dozens and dozens of 
sprites may be on the stage and they only provide a simple graphical 
representation so converting them to uicomponents would probably be more 
overkill than watching the sprite's position on each enter_frame.  If 
you come up with any other ideas, please let me know.

[flexcoders] Remove Popup from ItemRenderer

[cvsikh]

Hi,

I was wondering if its possible to trigger removepopup(this) (or some other 
method) from a external item renderer.  Popupmanager is not removing the actual 
popup which holds the itemrenderer.

[flexcoders] Problem displaying item renderer on on TileList

[gilbert_mizrahi]

I am creating an app. in which a need to display some thumbnails on a TileList, 
but the thumbnails are not visible on the TileList. However, if a click on a 
tile it does what it is suppose to do and it creates the number of tiles 
according to the data provider, only the tiles are not visible.

My code is:




the item renderer component is:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; width="200"  paddingTop="0" 
paddingBottom="0" xmlns:controls="com.asfusion.controls.*" 
horizontalAlign="center" verticalGap="0" toolTip="{data.description.text()}" 
backgroundColor="0xcc" borderColor="0x293f6f" borderThickness="2">











The data provider is an XMLList.
If a replace the TileList with a list or horizontalList the item renderer is 
visible. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Gilbert

[flexcoders] scrollbar inside "100%" sized background image in container?

[gwangdesign]

Hi,

I am trying to get the scrollbar for a container (can be either a Canvas or 
VBox) "inside" my background image. Basically my Canvas has a background image 
which I set background-size to "100%". Flex scales the background image to fit 
the whole component when there is no scroll bar. But when the scroll bar 
appears, the image "shrinks" to allow space for the scroll bar.

So say if the Canvas has a width of 200 px, the background image has a width of 
200 px when there is no scrollbar. If the scrollbar is 16 pixels wide, the 
background image would become 200 - 16 = 184 px, as opposed to staying 200px.

I think I can get around this by using nested containers. Just to want to make 
sure that I am not missing anything obvious.

Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] FileFilter and browseForSave

Interestingly, FileFilter is listed as a "see also" under browseForSave() in
the docs.  Have you tried adding in a filter just as you would for
browseForOpen() to see if it will work? There is obviously a documentation
problem. Question is, is it the reference to FileFilter or the lack of the
listing for filter in the generic syntax example?

[flexcoders] Dynamic datasource in ColdFusion via LCDS ES

[Brendan Meutzner]

Hi All,



I'm hitting a wall on a requirement for a Flex application which utilizes
the LCDS version included with ColdFusion.



I have the project setup to use DAO's, Assemblers and ValueObject (cfc's)
which I call from Flex via DataService implmentation and the fill(),
getItem(), etc... methods.



I need to setup my ColdFusion layer to access multiple datasources from the
same Flex application.  However, because of the way LCDS gets called from
Flex, it doesn't seem that Application or Session variables in ColdFusion
persist when I set them.  I was thinking I could just have the HTML (cfm)
wrapper page for my Flex application set that, but it is not recognized when
I go to make a fill or get call against the assembler.



I thought about passing the datasource as a parameter each time a call is
made, but while that would work when I initiate fill and get methods, the
sync methods are "invisible" and I wouldn't be able to append an argument to
them.



So my issue is... how do I go about having ColdFusion read a dynamic
variable to define it's datasource?





Thanks in advance for the help.

[flexcoders] Re: Tracking a sprite's position

[Tim Hoff]

Using enterFrame is pretty expensive.  I'd probably listen for SpriteC's
move and resize events in the common canvas and position UIComponentB;
based on the event.currentTarget.x and y coordinates.  The events will
have to be bubbled up from SpriteC to UIComponentA to the common canvas.
Use localToGlobal to find the desired coordinates to position
UIComponentB.  You might experience a little lag; so the two may not
look like they are connected though.

I solved my own problem (eliminating the use of AddChild) and moved on a
long time ago. I shared my results for the benefit of others, and got a

[flexcoders] Re: LinkButton themeColor

The text color and text decoration can be set in CSS.  For buttonMode,
you can extend LinkButton and use the custom component:

package controls

  public class MyLinkButton extends LinkButton
  {
   public function MyLinkButton()
   {
super();

   this.buttonMode = true;
   this.focusEnabled = false;
   }
  }

Since you didn't post code, it didn't click with me that you were using states. 
 I don't usually use states with Flex, when I use it, which has't been for a 
few weeks.

Nevertheless, I suspect that if you look at the AddChild code, you'll find that 
it works more like what you'd expect in AS vs. MXML.

Seeing as no-one else has replied to you yet Matt...

*Disclaimer, its well known that I dislike the Marshall Plan, so feel free to 
dollop large amounts of healthy skepticism on my words*

We do not use the Marshall plan, though we have a business case where we may 
have to satisfy similar conditions.

 *   The overhead in terms of architecture that the plan demands means it's 
easier to bring a module built with an older version of the SDK upto the latest 
version than it is to rewrite it to fit into how the plan works.
 *   I still think there are issues when sending events containing data of a 
type the receiving app doesn't have in it's SDK (Vectors for example).
 *   Lastly, the security considerations are still arbitrary. It still doesn't 
stop man-in-the-middle attacks, it just pushes them further up the food chain 
(meaning that the host swf becomes the target of the attack rather than a sub 
app)
I understand that Adobe have a healthy paranoia about security concerns. If I 
had my software running on 90+% of all the machines in the world, I would too!
However, in my opinion, this is still the wrong approach.

Oh and describing my dreams involving Alex would probably get me banned from

Subject: [flexcoders] Are you using the Marshall Plan?






Are you building apps in a modular fashion where those modules need to
support different Flex versions? Do you have nightmares where Alex is
explaining SecurityDomains and ApplicationDomains and
SWFLoader.loadForCompatibility?

Please let me know (email me at mcho...@adobe.com), 
we're trying to evaluate
some pain points and whether I need to bribe the Player team to solve them
ASAP or if it can wait a release.

Ah crap.  To add on to this, this seems to be a bug that was only fixed with 
the Flash 10 player:  http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-14379   - I have to 
target Flash 9.  Is this really still an outstanding bug with Flex 3 and Flash 
9?  That really bites.

Subject: Unloading/stopping sounds from SWFLoader .swf

I'm having a problem getting sounds from .swfs (both AVM1 and AVM2) to stop 
playing.  I am adding these .swfs (loaded with SWFLoader) onto a Canvas in my 
Flex application.  The instance of my SWFLoader is _swfLoader which I add as a 
child to the _demoCanvas Canvas.  Here is what I have tried (my lame attempt at 
garbage collection):



private function hideScreenAnimation():void

{

_swfLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSwfLoaded);

_swfLoader.removeEventListener(Event.UNLOAD, onSwfUnload);

_swfLoader = null;

removeChild(_demoCanvas);

_demoCanvas = null;

SoundMixer.stopAll();

}

I can't seem to locate any unload() method for SWFLoader instances or 
SWFLoader.content.  SoundMixer.stopAll() seems to have no effect.  Again, these 
are both AVM1 and AVM2 .swfs which contain sounds.  I don't have any control 
over the AVM1 files, they are produced by someone else using another app 
(Captivate and Camtasia).  The AVM2 .swf is just a simple .swf I made with 
Flash CS3 and contains a sound on the timeline.

Thanks, any help is appreciated. I've researched this enough with Google and 
none of the suggestions I've found seem to work.

The class does not appear to be a UI class, so why can’t you instantiate it 
where you need it and set a direct listener on it? 



Also, if it is going to dispatch an event it needs to extend EventDispatcher, I 
believe.

[flexcoders] PrintDataGrid

[weezee49]

I have a printed report which includes a series of labels and 2 data grids.  If 
I print the labels and the first data grid, I see all the data items in the 
data grid, but when I add the 2nd one to the page, both PrintDataGrids leave 
off the last five or six lines of data.  I thought the PrintDataGrids were 
supposed to account for pagination.  Is there a setting that I'm missing?  If 
the report goes to 2 pages, that's okay, as long as I get all the data.

TIA.

Re: [flexcoders] Application shows with a partial height

[Igor Costa]

If you`re using Flex Builder, try to clean up your project .

1. Select your project
2. Go to the menu and select Project > Clean
2. Mark the project to be cleaned up and click OK


This is a odd thing happing in Flex Builder 3.0 where the last updates are
fixed.

[flexcoders] Re: LinkButton themeColor

[chandruflex]

I am trying to implement a HTML  tag like thing using the LinkButton. When I 
move my mouse-cursor over the LinkButton, I see a Blue colored rectangle. This 
is the value of the "themeColor" style of a LinkButton. Setting the 
"themeColor" to a value that is the background color of the container in which 
the LinkButton is placed, does not look like a HTML  tag would.

Anyhow, I came to know about the "rollOverColor" style of the LinkButton. 
Setting its value to the background color of the container in which the 
LinkButton resides, does not show a rectangle.

Now, the only effort I have to put in is to set the "buttonMode" property to 
"true", the "textDecoration" style to "underline", and the "color" style to 
"#FF".

Thank you Tom.

Thanks Alex but I need to be able to drag from the Desktop to the App
too. However, maybe I can dynamically swap the NativeDMI for the regular
DMI and vice-versa when I need it. I'll have to look into this. I'll try

There are different "rules" to doing drag/drop totally internally
(DragManagerImpl) and having to work with many OS platforms
(NativeDragManagerImpl).  We just couldn't find enough common ground.

However, if you don't need to drag from your AIR app to the desktop, you
can replace NativeDMI with regular DMI.  There's a technote or
documentation on how to do it.

The DragManagerImpl and NativeDragManagerImpl behaviours are so
different that it drives me nut! I have a Flex component that is
embedded in a Flex and AIR app. So, I used the IDragManager interface to
access the methods and used the standard events. Unfortunately, I can't
get a consistent behaviour across both platforms.

One of my biggest problem is that in AIR, if a parent UIComponent
accepted the drag, a child cannot cancel it through the standard
IDragManager interface. I have a container that can accept or refuse a
drag operation and I have children of the container that can do the
same. So, when I move the mouse over the container, if it accepts the
drag and that I move the mouse over a children and that the children
cannot accept the drag, I simply cannot get the no drag icon over the
child.

I could possibly try to use the NativeDragEvents to do the trick but
since I want my component to be cross platform, I cannot use AIR only
classes. I'm starting to think that Adobe didn't think about this use
case when designing both drag managers.

Anyone has an idea or overcame this issue?

Thanks!

[flexcoders] implementing flicker functionality in flex

[vn_gangireddy]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] LCDS: can two assemblers use same entity object?

[Rajeev Goel]

hi All,

I am using LCDS 2.6 with Flex SDK 3.2.

One of my existing assemblers (say EmployeeAssembler) is using entity object
called Employee.
Is it possible to have another assembler (say ManagerAssembler) which also
uses Employee object ?

data-management-config.xml:

 
  
  
   employeeAssemblerBean
   spring
   


   
  
 
  
  
  
   managerAssemblerBean
   spring
   


   
  
 

The primary key attribute is "uniqueId" and of type string.
To prevent manager assembler from getting confused, code adds a prefix to
the unique id for differentiation. this way uniqueId should never clash.

Issue is that server pushes on ManagerAssembler are not showing up on
client. Also its uid is mangled (sample value:
09C348F9-3DEB-45F0-33F4-19D033896417).
Usually uid contans assembler's name.

Could someone point me to right direction ?

thanks,
Rajeev

RE: [flexcoders] Are you using the Marshall Plan?

[Gregor Kiddie]

Seeing as no-one else has replied to you yet Matt...

 

*Disclaimer, its well known that I dislike the Marshall Plan, so feel
free to dollop large amounts of healthy skepticism on my words*

 

We do not use the Marshall plan, though we have a business case where we
may have to satisfy similar conditions.

*   The overhead in terms of architecture that the plan demands
means it's easier to bring a module built with an older version of the
SDK upto the latest version than it is to rewrite it to fit into how the
plan works.
*   I still think there are issues when sending events containing
data of a type the receiving app doesn't have in it's SDK (Vectors for
example).
*   Lastly, the security considerations are still arbitrary. It
still doesn't stop man-in-the-middle attacks, it just pushes them
further up the food chain (meaning that the host swf becomes the target
of the attack rather than a sub app)

I understand that Adobe have a healthy paranoia about security concerns.
If I had my software running on 90+% of all the machines in the world, I
would too!

However, in my opinion, this is still the wrong approach.

 

Oh and describing my dreams involving Alex would probably get me banned
from this list and / or a court order ;)
