[flexcoders] Re: can I get flv duration metadata without playing the flv file?
I've tried this code below in a labelFunction for a dataGrid column where the
datafield is sourcePath (the path to the flv file)
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
var resultDur:String;
var client:Object = new Object();
client.onMetaData =
function(metadata:Object):void {
resultDur = metadata.duration;
trace(resultDur.toString());
}
ns.client = client;
ns.play(sourcePath);
return ns.client.onMetaData.toString;
This is where I am unsure if the above function will work, so far I am getting
[object Object] as the return value. I am not sure if I am not getting
anything from the function because my code is off or I need to assign a video
object to get the netsteam to call the onMetadata event.
Thanks,
Hoyt

Hello,
I've seen all the examples on getting duration information from an flv file
using the netstream function, but they all require you to play the flv first.
I was wondering if you could get the info without having to play the flv file.
The situation I have is I am ingesting an xml file with a list of flv files
in a directory. I want to display that list of files in a datagrid with the
duration in another column. So I want to use a labelfunction that will read
the flv file and then calculate the duration.
However I am concerned that the examples I have seen to retrieve this
metadata requires me to play each video to get the data which might be too
slow. Is there a different approach to this?
I would do this once and after getting the duration I would write it back
into the xml file but the flvs in the directory keep changing. Any ideas or
hints would be appreciated.
thanks,
Hoyt

You do not have to make a separate label tag for your form items. In
addition, FormItem can be styled using labelStyleName. Your TextInput is

It could be two things. You could be using a component/library that isn't open source (such as the flash.* packages or a third party component) or sometimes using the Flex RSL does this.

[flexcoders] Loader coming back with incorrect dimensions
Has anyone run across a Loader instance incorrectly reporting the width/height of the SWF file it is loading? Information about the application: 1. The SWF files I am loading are generated via a FileExport command out of Adobe Illustrator. This causes it to come out as an AVM1Movie. 2. I am loading these SWF files into an AVM2 SWF via the Loader class. Some of them correctly give me the dimensions, and some of them do not. 3. Oddly enough, on the incorrectly sized content, the Loader's LoaderInfo instance contains the correct dimensions. My initial reaction was to look at the content in Illustrator and see if maybe some vector data was being included in the SWF way offscreen (the incorrect dimensions are always larger) - thus causing the SWF to report a larger width than I am expecting. But I do not see any content in the Illustrator that would do that. I know there is some issues with loading AVM1 content into an AVM2 SWF - I wouldn't think the dimensions would be something affected by this, but you never know. Anyone have any ideas on what else to look at? Jonathon

Does that still apply even when the loaded SWF is not built with the Flex
framework?
Note - I am actually not using the Flex framework at all in this project. It's
a pure AS3 application. Sorry, I forgot to mention that.
My specific code looks like this:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(path);
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSwfComplete, false,
0, true);
...
private function onSwfComplete(event:Event):void
{
var loaderInfo:LoaderInfo = event.target as LoaderInfo;
var loader:Loader = loaderInfo.loader;
Out.out(this, loaderInfo (+loaderInfo.width+, +loaderInfo.height+));
Out.out(this, loader (+loader.width+, +loader.height+));
checkComplete();
}
The Out.out calls are a simple trace utility - and they report:
[Out] [BootstrapTask] says, loaderInfo (441, 331)
[Out] [BootstrapTask] says, loader (2252.3, 2464.8)
Very strange to me - I've never had them report different values. But then
again, I've never tried loading an Illustrator exported SWF either..

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.
[flexcoders] Custom component itemRenderer
Is it possible to pass data into an itemRenderer that is not apart of the
dataProvider. The component I am using as an does not seem to except
bindable data when it's used as an item Renderer.
coursedays and unittypes are both arrayCollections from remoteObjects.
The itemRender is using data. from coursedays. But I also want to
pass in the arrayCollection of unittypes. Is this the correct opproach?
mx:HorizontalList id=days_hlist useRollOver=false width=980 height=570
borderStyle=none selectable=false horizontalScrollPolicy=off left=0
dataProvider={coursedays}
mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
courseeditor:dayoutline unittypes={unittypes}/
/mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer
/mx:HorizontalList

You must extend the component creating the itemRenderers and modify it to pass in your additional data. Most itemRenderers also have a ListData component, which has an owner attribute that give you hook into the list. So if you can get to your data using that owner property, it may work for you. Or you can create your own ListData component and modify your list based class to create your new ListData component instead of the built in one and pass that to itemRenderers. You may also be able to use a singleton, conceptually similar to Cairngorm's ModelLocator to access the data hanging out in the middle of nowhere. -- Jeffry Houser, Technical Entrepreneur Adobe Community Expert: http://tinyurl.com/684b5h http://www.twitter.com/reboog711 | Phone: 203-379-0773 -- Easy to use Interface Components for Flex Developers http://www.flextras.com?c=104 -- http://www.theflexshow.com http://www.jeffryhouser.com -- Part of the DotComIt Brain Trust
RE: [flexcoders] using as breaks data binding?
I didn't get any warnings like you did so I couldn't investigate further.

3.3.0. I also get it with 4.0.0.6137. Just downloaded and got it in 6772,
too. I'm using player version 10,0,12,36. Do you need to know anything about
my Flex Builder version? Let me know anything else I can provide.
When you say you don't get it with the soon-to-be 3.4, what exactly do you
mean? You just don't get the run-time warning? Did you track down why it
would be okay with x and see if that's still doing whatever weird thing it is
in 3.4?

Subject: [flexcoders] using as breaks data binding?
I've run across some peculiar behavior and I am trying to figure out if I
should report it and if so, how exactly to explain it. Given these two bits of
code:
TestObject.as:
package
{
public class TestObject
{
[Bindable] public var a:uint = 2;
[Bindable] public var b:uint = 3;
[Bindable] public var x:uint = 1;
}
}
Main Application:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
Application
xmlns=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
Script
![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
[Bindable] public var d:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
new TestObject,
new TestObject,
new TestObject
]);
]]
/Script
List dataProvider={d}
itemRenderer
Component
HBox
Label text={TestObject(data).a}/
Label text={(data as TestObject).b}/
Label text={(data as TestObject).x}/
/HBox
/Component
/itemRenderer
/List
Button click=for each (var o:TestObject in d) { o.x++; o.a++; o.b++ }/
/Application
If you run this application, you get the following warnings:
warning: unable to bind to property 'b' on class 'GenericTest_inlineComponent1'
warning: unable to bind to property 'b' on class 'GenericTest_inlineComponent1'
warning: unable to bind to property 'b' on class 'GenericTest_inlineComponent1'
warning: unable to bind to property 'b' on class 'GenericTest_inlineComponent1'
warning: unable to bind to property 'b' on class 'GenericTest_inlineComponent1'
warning: unable to bind to property 'b' on class 'GenericTest_inlineComponent1'
There's a couple of things that stand out here. First, it doesn't complain
about properties x or a. The reason it doesn't complain about property a
is that I used TestObject(data).a instead of (data as TestObject).a. If
you change it to the other way around, you will get a warning on a as well.
I find this rather bizarre, as I thought there was no functional difference to
the two, other than as returning null if the object wasn't of the appropriate
type rather than just erroring out like straight type coercion does. But type
coercion/as are very (ahem) lightly documented so I admit I don't know a lot.
But I don't think it's because of the null problem, since you can replace it
with TestObject(null).b and it stops giving the warning.
The second weird thing is that it doesn't complain about x when using (data
as TestObject).x like it does with a. As you can see, it's claiming this
error is on GenericTest_inlineComponent1. This is significant because it
appears that it's instead doing some binding to the x property on the item
renderer, which is very odd. You can try this yourself by changing x to
other strings. Ones where there is a property of HBox named the same thing
won't give you a warning. Others will.
Yet for all this griping, it seems the data binding IS working. If you click
on the button, you'll see all the labels in the list change as the data is
being changed.
So, anyone want to shed some light on these two behaviors?

RE: [flexcoders] Custom component itemRenderer
Speaking only from what I have read here, I believe if you set the renderer using ActionScript and the ClassFactory, you can set properties on the renderer. Ah, from one of alex's posts: If you look at ClassFactory, it has a properties map that will copy any properties in the map to each instance.

[flexcoders] Tracy's search tree solution question ...
http://www.cflex.net/showFileDetails.cfm?ObjectID=554 I got the example to work perfectly, but in my code where the xml is more complex, it only selects/highlights the last match. allowMultipleSelection = true but when I step through I can see that the array tree.selectedItems only holds the last treeSlsHrchy.selectedItem = xmllistDescendants[i]; which overwrites the previous entry i.e. the array is always a single row. In the example debug I can see the selectedItem array build up line by line as the loop loops. So I went back to the example and altered the xml from element eid=graham/ element eid=weldon to element eid=graham id=6/ element eid=weldon id=7 and the example now only highlights/selects the last match i.e. the selectedItems array refuses to hold more than a single row. Why does the extra xml do this? Inquiring minds etc :-) TIA, Mic.
