[flexcoders] Call a Flex Function by Name
I'm using a Menu control. Normally I'd catch the Menu's control event and then
act on whatever selection the user made with something like a switch block.
But I wanted to see if I could be more clever and embed the function name and
parameters in the XML Menu data provider itself, like this:
mx:XML id=xmlFormMenuOptions
Menu id=MenuOptions
menuitem id=AddNewChartMenuOption label=Add Chart...
callback=AddNewChartButton_click arguments= /
menuitem id=RenameChartMenuOption label=Rename Chart...
callback=PopUpTextBox arguments=RenameChart, RenameChartButtonTextBox,
{nameChartSelected} enabled={selectedChartingPanelTableCell} /
menuitem id=DeleteChartMenuOption label=Delete Chart
callback=PopUpCheckBox arguments=DeleteChart, DeleteChartButtonCheckBox
enabled={selectedChartingPanelTableCell} /
menuitem id=RaiseChartOrderMenuOption label=Raise Chart Order
callback=RaiseChartOrderButton_click arguments=
enabled={RaiseChartOrderButton.enabled} /
menuitem id=LowerChartOrderMenuOption label=Lower Chart Order
callback=LowerChartOrderButton_click arguments=
enabled={LowerChartOrderButton.enabled} /
menuitem id=OpenAlertsWindowMenuOption label=Open Alerts Window
callback=ProjectProperties.setValue arguments=ShowAlertsWindow, true /
menuitem id=ChartingPanelWhatAmIMenuOption label=What am I?
callback=PopUpMessage arguments=ChartingPanelWhatAmIMenuOption, null/
menuitem id=HelpMenuOption label=Help callback= /
/Menu
/mx:XML
If you look at each menuitem/ you'll see a 'callback' attribute and an
'arguments' attribute. The arguments are comma-delineated that I need to parse
into an Array and scrub: for example, by converting string references into real
ones like this:
if( this.hasOwnProperty(arg) )
arrayArguments[i] = this[arg];
I then have been successful in using the callLater function like this:
callLater(this[callback], arrayArguments);
So far so good - it works great!
But I've hit a tiny snag. If the function is in a foreign class then everything
falls apart. For example, this won't work:
callback = ProjectProperties.setValue
arguments = ShowAlertsWindow, true
Because there is no such thing as this[ProjectProperties.setValue] the
callLater function can't handle it. I can easily build a little stub but I'm
hoping to keep things clean and elegant.
I've been searching for a way to call-by-name in Flex but haven't found one
(except for callLater). Is there a way I can do this?
Re: [flexcoders] Re: modify item before binding to datagrid
My apologies but I forgot to mention that I am getting the data from a .NET web
service which is a dataset and then returned via string (XML) using the .NET
function
String strConn =
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[conString].ConnectionString;
SqlConnection dbConnection = new SqlConnection(strConn);
String strCommand = SELECT SupplierID, CompanyName, ContactName,
ContactTitle, Address FROM Suppliers ;
SqlDataAdapter objCommand = new SqlDataAdapter(strCommand,
dbConnection);
DataSet DS = new DataSet();
objCommand.Fill(DS);
dbConnection.Close();
dbConnection = null;
DataTable DT = DS.Tables[0];
return DS.GetXml();
So, basically, I think the SupplierID which is numeric originally becomes a
string. How can I then prior to binding the same to the datagrid control,
convert its data type back to numeric so that when I perform a sort, it would
sort the supplierID interpreting it as a numeric value?
Thanks.

Hi.
I am quite new in Flex and would like to ask a simple question.
I am retrieving datasets from a .NET webservice and binding the same to a

Now, one column which I am binding to is originally a numeric column. But
when it binds to the datagrid, it's data type becomes string. Is it possible
that prior to binding the said column to the datagrid, I would be able to
convert it back to its numeric data taype? Since sorting the column in a

Re: [flexcoders] HTML Formatting lost in TextArea
**bump** I'm encountering a strange problem which I can't reliably replicate. I have a TextArea. During its lifetime, I set the htmlText property one time with a string of HTML that includes an IMG tag. The text property never gets set. Sometimes, when the TextArea is first displayed, I'll see that all of its HTML is formatted properly for a few seconds, with various fonts, font styles, sizes, colors, etc., and then suddenly it will re-render itself and all of the text will be in a single font, size, color and style. Things like paragraph breaks and bulleted lists are preserved, however. The only styles that are getting set on this TextArea are paddingLeft and paddingRight. Although I have an embedded font in the application, it's not being set in any stylesheets, only through explicit setStyle calls, and only where text needs to be rotated. So I don't think that has anything to do with the issue. I'm using Flex 3.1, whatever version that was current on 8/25/2008. As I mentioned, this can't be reliably replicated. Sometimes it works correctly when following the same path through the application, and sometimes it doesn't. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this?

RE: [flexcoders] Call a Flex Function by Name
I would separate the classname out into another argument in your XML, so in
your example that's not working, you'd have:
menuitem id=OpenAlertsWindowMenuOption label=Open Alerts Window
callbackClass=ProjectProperties callback=setValue
arguments=ShowAlertsWindow, true /
Then you'd have to dynamically instantiate that class and call the assigned
method. I have a couple tutorials on my blog about doing this:
http://jake.cfwebtools.com/2009/04/08/dynamically-instantiate-a-class/
http://jake.cfwebtools.com/2009/05/15/flex-dynamic-casting-of-data/
The 2nd one deals with data casting which might not be as relevant but I
still do the class stuff dynamically. Here's an example of what this might
look like for you:
var className:Class = Class( getDefinitionByName( getQualifiedClassName(
ProjectProperties ) ) );
var function:Function = className[setValue];
function.call(className[or null], parmaters.);
FYI, this code is completely untested, just trying to give you an idea.

Re: [flexcoders] MVC view and model communication
A couple of techniques to be aware of:
1) Binding functions
currentState={computeState(model.username)}
(computeState is in the Script block of your MXML and will fire when any of
the argument expressions change)
2) Computed properties with custom getters/setters:
[Bindable(event=userStateChanged)]
public function get userState():String {
// return something based on user name
}
[Bindable(event=userNameChanged)]
public function get userName():String {
return _userName;
}
public function set userName(value:String):void {
_userName = value; // Should really check that it's different
dispatchEvent(new Event(userNameChanged));
dispatchEvent(new Event(userStateChanged));

In the model:
A username string that changes occasionally and is sometimes null.
In the view:
A List - should become unselected if the username becomes null.
A State - should change when the username changes values.
Do I need to register an event handler in my view? Can I do this somehow

Check into the filterFunction property of the ArrayCollection class.
This is how I use it in one section of my code...
filterText = text I want to filter on;
detailsArrColl.filterFunction = processFilter;
public function processFilter(item:Object):Boolean
{
if (item.name.toUpperCase().indexOf(filterText.toUpperCase()) = 0)
{
return true;
}
return false;
}

The problem is that there does not seem to be a free tutorial out there (That I

Put the database name you want to use in the Database Name field and leave

Then try clicking the Test Connection button. Flex will try to connect

of what I have:

public function processData( event:ListEvent ):void {
if ( event.reason == ListEventReason.CANCELLED ) {
event.preventDefault();
return;
}
...
}

Re: [flexcoders] Confused about modules using embedded fonts Flex 3.3
Hi Alex,
Well, continued to add complexity in my test case to mock what our
real application does when loading modules however, still no problem
loading fonts and no need to set the Module.moduleFactory to the
SystemManager of the main application.
But can still confirm, without doing so on our application modules no
text will display...
I am stumped. In debugging the test case I can confirm that my
module.moduleFactory does not reference the main applications
SystemManager. I am concerned that my modules are not being
initialized properly and that I could have additional (much harder to
fix issues in the future). I don't mind fixing fonts by assigning the
module.moduleFactory to the applications SystemManager but only if it
is safe.
If you have any ideas as to how I could identify why my modules are
not initialized properly to use the embedded fonts it would be greatly
appreciated.
Are there any implications to setting the modules.moduleFactory to
reference the main applications SystemManager?
Thanks,
Greg

Thanks Alex!
Not exactly sure why I don't get ANY automatic behavior even with
base Flex controls(LinkButton ect..) but by assigning the main
applications SystemManager(IFlexModuleFactory) that has the registered
fonts to the loaded modules moduleFactory it is working like a charm.
Wow, one line of code fixed it.
Once my module is loaded I set the modules moduleFactory property like this:
private function onModuleLoaded( event:ModuleEvent ):void
{
...
module.moduleFactory = Application.appliation.systemManager;
}
Is this what you meant and is this the right approach?

The key is that there must be code in the same SWF as the font that

Subject: [flexcoders] Confused about modules using embedded fonts Flex 3.3
Hi Folks,
I have a modular application built on Flex 3.3 SDK and have just
introduced some embedded fonts and unfortunately all text is blank in
the modules that attempt to use the embedded font. Popup windows
displayed from my module shell(main application) work fine. Searching
the archive and web I have found much discussion in relation to
ActionScript 2 but not much regarding Flex 3 other than this adobe
bug(3.2 sdk) http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-18254 that has the
same result (blank text), but in my testing my modules call to
Font.enumerateFonts(false); does return my list of embedded fonts so I
don't think the work around to register the fonts will help.
Does anyone know how to allow a module to use fonts embedded in the
main application in Flex 3.3?
Do I have to register the embedded font when initializing each module?
If my fonts are listed in Font.enumerateFonts(false) does that mean
registration is already complete?
Any help is much appreciated!
Greg

[flexcoders] Re: filter complex arrayCollection
So you have an ArrayCollection of XML objects that you want to filter on?
In the filterFunction just case your array item to XML and use E4X to find the
node / attribute that you want to filter on and build it in your filter logic,
i.e. logical that determines the true/false return value.
Thats why the filterFunction takes an arbitrary object - the array item -
because it doesn't know what the object is OR how you want to filter it...you
have to supply this logic.
You may want to consider the performance of this approach as the number of
items in the ArrayCollection grows.

Has anybody here ever tried to print PDF417 barcodes in Flex? It's far more than a simple embed-the-font kind of thing, as you need a proper encoder to encode the data before printing it in the PDF417 font. I can buy the font, no problem. But the encoder is what's getting me -- closest encoder I can buy is a Java Servlet, and I have no idea if/how that can be integrated into a Flex app. Does anyone know if that's possible?

[flexcoders] htmlLoader - saving document HTML - using HTML.htmlText
Hi all, I recently tried to save the html of a webpage I downloaded with my HTMLLoader. When I tried to set the htmlText of an HTML control, the page was not rendered correctly. I presume this is because the links to stylesheets and images and such don't resolve. ColdFusion addresses this with an option in their http tag that will resolve all relative links to absolute ones. Does anyone else think this is the culprit? If so, how to solve?
[flexcoders] Re: How do I do a sort on IHierarchicalCollectionView
I don't think that it is different. IHierarchicalCollectionView extends
ICollectionView which is where the sort is defined.

I have a simple datagrid with double clicking enabled. Double clicking runs a long process of getting a bunch of data. The datagrid itself is not affected by any of the data changes. After the process is done, it is impossible to select an item in the datagrid. The selectedIndex and selectedItem both get set, just the highlight is missing so the user doesn't know that the row they clicked is selected. I tried creating a custom datagrid class extending datagrid and trapping Item Click events and manually calling updateDisplaylist() but that did not help. If I click and use a modifier key (SHIFT or CTRL) the highlight works. Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

[flexcoders] getting currency symbol to display when loading locale from resource module
For my application, I load a specific locale resource module based on the logged in user's locale. I am trying to configure the en_GB (British) and fr_CA (French Canadian) locales. In order to build my resource module from the command line, I need a properties file. The content of my properties file for the British locale looks like this: # locale/en_GB/FormattingValues.properties THEMECOLOR=0xFF DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/YY TIME_FORMAT=L:NN A CURRENCY_PRECISION=0 CURRENCY_SYMBOL=£ THOUSANDS_SEPARATOR=, DECIMAL_SEPARATOR=. As you can see, I have the pound symbol for the CURRENCY_SYMBOL. I typed this with ALT-156 When I load this resource module and try to display currency values that have been formatted with the british locale, the pound symbol will not display. Instead I get a square box symbol. It's like the Flash player doesn't recognize the pound symbol. Also, I have a Canadian French locale - I wish to display a blank space as the thousands seperator. So for my fr_CA locale .properties file I have this: # locale/fr_CA/FormattingValues.properties THEMECOLOR=0xFF DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/YY TIME_FORMAT=L:NN A CURRENCY_PRECISION=0 CURRENCY_SYMBOL=$ THOUSANDS_SEPARATOR= DECIMAL_SEPARATOR=, There is an actual blank space after the '=' sign. When I select the french locale, no space displays. How do I specify these characters in my .properties file? I have tried using HTML entities but every character then displays when my text input or datagrid column is formatted.

[flexcoders] Transition only works once
I don't use transitions often, so I may be missing something. The transition
works fine the first time, but the resize is applied instantaneously afterwards.
This is part of a VBox-based MXML component.
Transition is very simple:
mx:transitions
mx:Transition fromState= toState=filterView
mx:Resize duration=500 target={bottomBox}/
/mx:Transition
/mx:transitions
The state to which it is applied adds an HBox with several buttons to the the
parent VBox.
mx:states
mx:State id=filterState name=filterView
mx:AddChild relativeTo={topBox} position=after
mx:target
mx:Spacer id=vSpacer height=2/

[flexcoders] How to optimise SWC to its minimal size?
I've created SWC consisting from a single class but class contains a bunch of methods and when I built SWc i found that it is 87Kb. In same time report.xml stated that my class is only 3kb, everything else is garbage consisting from many Flex frameworks classes used directly or indirectly in my main class. So question how to build my own SWC without all redundant classes? What is the reason to keep all that? As I understand when my SWC will be linked in flex Application Flex builder will add only required classes to the result SWF ?

[flexcoders] BlazeDS RemoteObject Performance
( I copy this email from an internal communication I received ) quote Hello, I've found a serious performance problem on an application written on Flex/AIR and using BlazeDS v3.0.0.544. By looking at the logs I can see that the server side method (invoked via RemoteObject on the client side) never executes in more than two threads at the same time. What I mean is that if I fire 5 simultaneous requests to the method using RemoteObject from the flex side, and log when the method is executed and when it returns, I get something like this: 12:00:00 Method Executed 12:00:00 Method Executed 12:00:01 Method Exiting 12:00:01 Method Executed 12:00:04 Method Exiting 12:00:04 Method Executed 12:00:10 Method Exiting 12:00:10 Method Executed 12:00:11 Method Exiting 12:00:13 Method Exiting While on the client side I see that all the 5 invocations were fired at 12:00:00. As you can see, the method tend to take a while to run. But the big problem is that the log suggest that some queuing is happening on the server side, allowing only a maximum of two threads to run in parallel at any given time. I thought it could be a problem with the thread pool of the servlet container, but my Tomcat has the following configuration: Executor name=tomcatThreadPool namePrefix=catalina-exec- maxThreads=150 minSpareThreads=4/ So I guessed that the limit could be imposed by BlazeDS itself. But haven't found anything on the documentation. Of course, I could be wrong and the problem may be something else. Any ideas?

Subject: [flexcoders] Call a Flex Function by Name
I'm using a Menu control. Normally I'd catch the Menu's control event and
then act on whatever selection the user made with something like a switch
block.
But I wanted to see if I could be more clever and embed the function name
and parameters in the XML Menu data provider itself, like this:
mx:XML id=xmlFormMenuOptions
Menu id=MenuOptions
menuitem id=AddNewChartMenuOption label=Add Chart...
callback=AddNewChartButton_click arguments= /
menuitem id=RenameChartMenuOption label=Rename Chart...
callback=PopUpTextBox arguments=RenameChart, RenameChartButtonTextBox,
{nameChartSelected} enabled={selectedChartingPanelTableCell} /
menuitem id=DeleteChartMenuOption label=Delete Chart
callback=PopUpCheckBox arguments=DeleteChart, DeleteChartButtonCheckBox
enabled={selectedChartingPanelTableCell} /
menuitem id=RaiseChartOrderMenuOption label=Raise Chart Order
callback=RaiseChartOrderButton_click arguments=
enabled={RaiseChartOrderButton.enabled} /
menuitem id=LowerChartOrderMenuOption label=Lower Chart Order
callback=LowerChartOrderButton_click arguments=
enabled={LowerChartOrderButton.enabled} /
menuitem id=OpenAlertsWindowMenuOption label=Open Alerts Window
callback=ProjectProperties.setValue arguments=ShowAlertsWindow, true /
menuitem id=ChartingPanelWhatAmIMenuOption label=What am I?
callback=PopUpMessage arguments=ChartingPanelWhatAmIMenuOption, null /
menuitem id=HelpMenuOption label=Help callback= /
/Menu
/mx:XML
If you look at each menuitem/ you'll see a 'callback' attribute and an
'arguments' attribute. The arguments are comma-delineated that I need to
parse into an Array and scrub: for example, by converting string references
into real ones like this:
if( this.hasOwnProperty(arg) )
arrayArguments[i] = this[arg];
I then have been successful in using the callLater function like this:
callLater(this[callback], arrayArguments);
So far so good - it works great!
But I've hit a tiny snag. If the function is in a foreign class then
everything falls apart. For example, this won't work:
callback = ProjectProperties.setValue
arguments = ShowAlertsWindow, true
Because there is no such thing as this[ProjectProperties.setValue] the
callLater function can't handle it. I can easily build a little stub but I'm
hoping to keep things clean and elegant.
I've been searching for a way to call-by-name in Flex but haven't found one
(except for callLater). Is there a way I can do this?

[flexcoders] Re: Call a Flex Function by Name
I've got this working. It's not as universal a solution as it could have been
if I'd adopted all of Jake's blogs, but it satisfies the current need.
In case anybody else is interested, these were the key elements:
The XML Menu data provider (you can see I added the callbackclass to the
menuitem/ as Jake suggested, but I didn't figure out how to avoid using the
full class path):
mx:XML id=xmlFormMenuOptions
Menu id=MenuOptions
menuitem id=RenameChartMenuOption label=Rename Chart...
callback=PopUpTextBox arguments=RenameChart, RenameChartButtonTextBox,
{nameChartSelected} enabled={selectedChartingPanelTableCell} /
menuitem id=OpenAlertsWindowMenuOption label=Open Alerts Window
callback=setValue callbackclass=Classes.DataManagers.ProjectProperties
arguments=ShowAlertsWindow, true /
/Menu
/mx:XML
The Menu control event handler (I stuck with callLater as it seemed to work
fine - I didn't check to see if I could pass an array of arguments to a
Function variable):
private function formMenuButton_click(event:MenuEvent):void {
var callback:String = event.it...@callback;
var className:String = event.it...@callbackclass;
var classDefinition:Class = className ? getDefinitionByName( className ) as
Class : undefined;
var arguments:String = event.it...@arguments;
var arrayArguments:Array = UtilityFunctions.ToArgumentArray(arguments, this);
if( callback ) {
if( className ) {
if( arguments ) {
callLater(classDefinition[callback], arrayArguments);
} else {
callLater(classDefinition[callback]);
}
} else {
if( arguments ) {
callLater(this[callback], arrayArguments);
} else {
callLater(this[callback]);
}
}
}
}
The ToArgumentArray scrubbing function:
public static function ToArgumentArray(arguments:String,
container:Object):Array {
var arrayArguments:Array = arguments.split(,);
//Replace argument strings with object references when the strings represent
real objects within this component
var i:int = 0; //Argument offset counter
for each( var arg:String in arrayArguments ) {
//Replace all of the leading spaces in the arguments
while( arg.search( ) == 0 ) {
var replacePattern:RegExp = /\s/; //Replace the space character (note
that the global flag is not set)
arg = arg.replace(replacePattern, ); //Replace the first space with a
blank character
}
arrayArguments[i] = arg;
//Replace all of the lagging spaces in the arguments
while( arg.charAt(arg.length - 1) == ) {
arg = arg.substr(0, length - 2); //Replace the last space with a blank
character
}
arrayArguments[i] = arg;
//Replace any objects in this with the object reference
if( container.hasOwnProperty(arg) )
arrayArguments[i] = container[arg]; //Replace the argument string with a
reference to the object
//Replace the null string with null
if( arg == null )
arrayArguments[i] = null; //Replace the argument string the null operator
i++;
}
return arrayArguments;

Hi Alex,
Well, continued to add complexity in my test case to mock what our
real application does when loading modules however, still no problem
loading fonts and no need to set the Module.moduleFactory to the
SystemManager of the main application.
But can still confirm, without doing so on our application modules no
text will display...
I am stumped. In debugging the test case I can confirm that my
module.moduleFactory does not reference the main applications
SystemManager. I am concerned that my modules are not being
initialized properly and that I could have additional (much harder to
fix issues in the future). I don't mind fixing fonts by assigning the
module.moduleFactory to the applications SystemManager but only if it
is safe.
If you have any ideas as to how I could identify why my modules are
not initialized properly to use the embedded fonts it would be greatly
appreciated.
Are there any implications to setting the modules.moduleFactory to
reference the main applications SystemManager?

Not exactly sure why I don't get ANY automatic behavior even with

fonts to the loaded modules moduleFactory it is working like a charm.
Wow, one line of code fixed it.
Once my module is loaded I set the modules moduleFactory property like this:

module.moduleFactory = Application.appliation.systemManager;

Is this what you meant and is this the right approach?

Hi Folks,
I have a modular application built on Flex 3.3 SDK and have just
introduced some embedded fonts and unfortunately all text is blank in
the modules that attempt to use the embedded font. Popup windows
displayed from my module shell(main application) work fine. Searching
the archive and web I have found much discussion in relation to
ActionScript 2 but not much regarding Flex 3 other than this adobe
bug(3.2 sdk) http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-18254 that has the

So it expands nice and slow, then snaps shut on close. Any other ideas? If I
