[flexcoders] Embedding programmatic skins in CSS and compiling to SWF

[ak]

I am experimenting with using external CSS files compiled as SWF. However, I 
have a problem.

My css files use programmatic skins, and FlexBuilder cannot resolve the class 
references.

So if I have 

border-skin: ClassReference("com.border.SimpleGradientBorder");

it will choke when trying to build the swf because it doesn't know how to find 
it.

Obviously this works fine when compiled into the application, since my project 
properties resolves the above path.

Is there a way to embed the above class, and if so what is the syntax?

RE: [flexcoders] Bitmap downsampling

[Tim Rowe]

Bjorn,
Does the current method you're using appear to have any anti-aliasing at all?

In the past, resizing with Image using img.resize((height, width), 
Image.ANTIALIAS) (where img is mx.controls.Image) has worked - I'm sure there'd 
be a similar method for BitmapData.  Of course, if you're not specifying 
antialiasing and the method call doesn't assume it by default, then yeah, 
you're going to get horrible image quality on downsize as a typical algorithm 
will pick nearest-neighbor to the new target pixel.

Hi,

I'm having a lot of trouble with down-sampling a bitmapData.

I tried the smoothing option first

public function produceResizedBitmapData(image:DisplayObject, 
transform:Matrix):BitmapData
{
var temp:BitmapData = new BitmapData(image.width, image.height, true, 
0x00FF);
temp.draw(image);

var clone:BitmapData = new BitmapData(image.width*transform.a, 
image.height*transform.d, true, 0x00FF);
clone.draw(temp, transform, null, null, null, true);

temp.dispose();
return clone;
}

except the quality was poor, once the image was of a certain size.
For example scaling a 2500px image down to 200px.

I've tried using clevrLib plus a pixelBender bilinear sampler but no go.
I've noticed it works in picnik so it must be possible.

Can anyone push me in the right direction.

[flexcoders] ArrayCollection Does Not Show Items In Order When Passed to .NET WebService

[Angelo Anolin]

Hi FlexCoders,

I have an array collection which I am populating as follows:

var oTemp:Object;
var xl:XMLList = _xmlData.children();
var i:int;
for(i = 0; i < xl.length(); i++)  
{
 oTemp = {ID_TAG:xl[i].ID.text(), CAT_TAG:xl[i].CAT.text(), 
DET_TAG:xl[i].DET.text(), REP_DATE_TAG:xl[i].REP_DATE.text(), 
IND_TAG:xl[i].IND.text()};
 arrDP.addItem(oTemp);
}

Now, when I pass back this Array Collection back into a web service, the fields 
are not in order as I have added them into the array collection.

I am expecting that in my Web Service, when I parse this arraycollection (via 
arraylist), I would be getting the same order of columns as I have added them, 
i.e. the first array in the array list would have element 0 to be the value I 
placed in the ID.

Since the arraylist does not have the field tag (represented by ID_TAG, 
DET_TAG, CAT_TAG, etc..), it becomes a trial and error (hit and miss) on my 
part since I can only reference the value via the index on the array.

Now, how would I be able to include the tags inside array collection such that 
when I read them as an array list in my .NET webservice, I know which element I 
am referring to in a particular index.

Thanks.

Regards,
Angelo


  

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Web Service Question (Help!)

[Angelo Anolin]

Hi Valdhor,
I think you are quite right. Seems that the ArrayCollection which I am passing 
is becoming NULL or does not contain any value.  Although I ensure from my web 
service that there are no fields in my dataset which I am passing back as an 
XML string to my flex application.  

I tried to utilize Alert.show(event.fault.getStackTrace().toString); to show 
the error, but nothing comes up.

I wonder how I can make a trace on my arrayCollection?  As of now, am using 
only the compiler and plugging the SWF object inside my asp.net page.


Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Angelo

Error 1009 is "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.". 
Try calling event.fault. getStackTrace( ) in the fault handler to see what the

[flexcoders] Re: Time Difference between two columns in DataGrid using itemrenderer

[Don Kerr]

Thanks everyone.  Never really could find an easy was to do it in Flex, so I 
opted for the ease of ColdFusion to get it done quickly on the server side.  
Two easy CF functions, ParseDateTime and DateDiff.

Good news is Flash Builder adds some of the ease of ColdFusion, including CF 
tags, into Flex! Awesome stuff.

I have a custom item render on a bar chart.  

When my the data provider for my bar chart has just one item in it the set data

Any ideas?  I've had this bug for a while but I need to figure it out now.

Digimix was acquired, and though I'm not 100% sure, I think it was Aviary that 
made the acquisition. It did what you're lookin to do, but without the FMS and 
Red 5 component. I'm not sure that there are FOSS, or even licensable options 
for AS3 audio encoding, but here are a few other thoughts. 


You may want to take a look at Alchemy for this, now that it's available, as 
you may be able to get a C library for audio encoding to run in AIR. Ogg Vorbis 
is one of the sample libraries on Labs. Also, if you're going to have the 
server capabilities there anyway, you could send to the server to encode, and 
deliver the file back to the client. Or use Merapi to have Java do the 
encoding. Not sure if any of these fit your use case, but I hope they help.

are submitted via URLVariables - j_username and j_password. The Tomcat 
validates it, using custom JDBCRealm. I now want to capture this user 
information as well as the session details, such that it is accessible at both 
the Flex as well as the Java side. I have a java class, in which I am trying to 
access the HttpServletRequest object and FlexSession object, by doing something 
like this - 

HttpServletRequest req = FlexContext.getHttpRequest();
FlexSession session = FlexContext.getFlexSession();

But both of these throw NullPointerException.

Any pointers on how to resolve this issue, would be highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Deepa

[flexcoders] Re: RSLs & defaults.css

[t0ml33]

Additional information on this:  so far this seems to be specific to Panel, 
TitleWindow, and Alert.  Also, it's only certain CSS properties.  So far, I've 
found the backgroundColor, borderColor, and borderAlpha properties to be 
affected by this bug.

Also, ignore the bit about the "third RSL" - that's a red herring.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.  I'll be submitting a bug on this, 
but am still seeking a workaround.

[flexcoders] adobe air multiple window performance problem

[hannesstockner]

Hello,

Im developing an AIR application where the user can open up to 20 transparent 
Window.

Each window contains some labels and a Slider.

When I open 10 Window and interact with the slider the whole application breaks.

Do you have any ideas how I can solve this problem?

Thanks a lot

[flexcoders] Re: Navigating to a new child in a ViewStack - how to target the child being hidden?

[lachance.brian]

If you still want to use the change event (or if for some reason the 
hide event doesn't seem to work), I think you could also look at the 
oldIndex value of the event. From there you could call 
getChildByIndex on the ViewStack to get a reference.

You could also look at using the Flex Date Utils on RIAForge.

But you'll still need to turn the strings into valid date objects first.

Re: [flexcoders] Audio recording using AIR

[Zach Stepek]

Digimix was acquired, and though I'm not 100% sure, I think it was  
Aviary that made the acquisition. It did what you're lookin to do, but  
without the FMS and Red 5 component. I'm not sure that there are FOSS,  
or even licensable options for AS3 audio encoding, but here are a few  
other thoughts.


You may want to take a look at Alchemy for this, now that it's  
available, as you may be able to get a C library for audio encoding to  
run in AIR. Ogg Vorbis is one of the sample libraries on Labs. Also,  
if you're going to have the server capabilities there anyway, you  
could send to the server to encode, and deliver the file back to the  
client. Or use Merapi to have Java do the encoding. Not sure if any of  
these fit your use case, but I hope they help.

You probably want the hide event (Dispatched when an object's state changes

Re: [flexcoders] Time Difference between two columns in DataGrid using itemrenderer

I think you would find it better to do the calculation on the database itself.

All database have a lot of date/time diff functions which you can use. That 
way, you all simply bind the data retrieved in your datagrid without the need 
for calculating it.

I have two columns in a datadrid, startTime (e.g. 04:30 PM) and endTime (e.g.

I want to add a column to the datagrid that displays the difference between

[flexcoders] Re: very urgent PlZZZZZZZ Accessing webservices

If the web service box is not available to the outside public, then the Flash 
player running on the clients machine won't be able to load the WSDL.

Either open up the web service box to the outside public or rewrite your app to 
use remoteobject to connect back to the server hosting the Flex app and then 
use that server to connect to the web service and return data.

[flexcoders] RSLs & defaults.css

[t0ml33]

I'm including the Flex framework as a linked RSL, and also have another library 
that I'm including as a linked RSL.  The custom library contains a defaults.css 
file in which I have some styles for the Alert control, using a type selector.  
Oddly, the styles do not apply correctly unless I change one of the RSLs to 
"merged into code" - and it doesn't seem to matter which one.  In fact, if I 
have a third RSL that does not contain a defaults.css and I merge that one into 
code, the other styles apply fine.  

Does anyone have experience with this kind of scenario?  See this weirdness 
before?  Have any insights into the initialization of RSLs?

[flexcoders] Navigating to a new child in a ViewStack - how to target the child being hidden?

[lanekelly5]

I'm putting together a prototype of an app and I have a ViewStack that is being 
controlled by a button toolbar.  In each of these views there is a video 
player.  What I need to do is to pause the video in the view that is being 
hidden.  I see the change event triggered when I change views, but it seems 
that the target reference passed in via the event parameter is the new view.  
Is there an easy way to get a reference to the view being hidden?  Or is there 
a different event triggered (something like a deactivate) that I can use to 
create a handler with a passed in reference to the departing view?

Thanks.

[flexcoders] UITextField alignment question

I need to place a text in a ActionScript 3 project. The supplied X and Y is 
left and baseline coordinates. I use UITextField and subtracted its 
baselinePosition from Y. This places the text very close to where it should be 
vertically but not the exact location (text displayed a little higher). 
Horizontal position is not accurate neither and text is positioned a little to 
the right of supplied X. I could not find any property in UITextField or 
TextFormat to correct this.

Any idea?

I'm glad you found an easy way to get the functionality you wanted.

According to the docs, mouseEnabled defaults to true. I wonder why the ADGGIR

I just wanted to say that if you still wanted the functionality from 
AdvancedDataGridGroupItemRenderer and you wanted extra functionality, you can

[flexcoders] How apply a closeButtonSkin style to flex Application

[j2me_soul]

I use Flash make a Flex skin.
Everythins is fine, but only the closeButtonSkin style can't apply to the 
Titlewindow component.
I import the Flex skin swc into the project. The CSS is produced automatically. 
I didn't change anything.
The code is:
TitleWindow
{
 borderSkin: Embed(skinClass="Panel_borderSkin");  
 closeButtonSkin: Embed(skinClass="Panel_closeButtonSkin");  
 controlBarBackgroundSkin: Embed(skinClass="Panel_controlBarBackgroundSkin");   
}

Re: [flexcoders] Audio recording using AIR

[Jeffry Houser]

I'm not sure of complete specifics, but I thought Ribbit supported 
something like this  Wasn't sure if they support computer mics or you 
have to use a phone. 
AudioSpike may support something like this, I'm not sure. 
I thought Digimix also did this sort of thing, but I have no idea if it 
ever got a release.

Is this feasible?  Any commercial products to facilitate this? 


Thanks!

[flexcoders] Can I abort a print job after start() has returned?

[Jeffrey EF Friedl]

Using flash.printing.PrintJob, after start() I check to see whether the user 
has set the exact printing parameters needed for a successful print, and if 
not, I'd like to abort the print and send the user an Alert about the print 
requirements.

However, I can't figure out how to kill the print job, other than to let it 
time out. I'd think there'd be a printJob.abort() or the like, but I don't see 
it.

I'd appreciate pointers to set me on the proper path.
Thanks,
   Jeffrey

[flexcoders] Re: Reading a 2D barcode

[markgoldin_2000]

A quick Googling:
http://www.download3k.com/System-Utilities/Automation-Tools/Download-bcWebCam-Read-Barcode-with-Web-Cam.html

That means that yes, you can read barcodes with a web cam and the barcode gets 
entered into an active appication's active field. Just like if you would read a 
barcode with a keyboard scanner.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: item renderer in ComboBox not consistent

[Jeffry Houser]

 Use the dataChange event.  Even if the data changes, the renderer is 
not re-created and creationComplete will not run again. 


Mic wrote:

Hi Jeff, what this does is set the background color of the renderer's VBox and 
therefore the line shading to gray if the label text begins with an asterisk 
 we want to highlight these paricular rows in the list. I know what you are 
saying about creationComplete() only running once, but I was thinking the 
renderer would have to redo itself on a scroll because the viewable area had 
changed.

--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Jeffry Houser  wrote:
  
 It looks like you are trying to change the background color of the 
label so that you have alternating colors, is that correct? 
 This won't work due to render recycling.  Renderers are re-used.  There 
is not a single renderer for every item in your dataProvider.  
CreationComplete complete only runs once. 

 You might try code like this on the dataChange event.  Or using 
updateComplete. 

 Or google it and discover the alternatingItemColors style:

I thought this might work --- fine until I start scrolling when it gets totally

consistently. Appreciate some hints. TIA,

or STOCK.NYSE.IBM
i hve to get data for the subscribed topics only but now i am not able to
subscribe for specific topic
i can just subscribe to STOCK so by this i will get all messages published
on STOCK.

With Regards,

Re: [flexcoders] The Blueprint Eclipse plug-in is live on Adobe Labs

[Sam Lai]

I'm surprised at the lack of reaction for this on this list.

I'm impressed - looks to be quite useful; just need to add it into my workflow.

The examples are good when dealing with completely unfamiliar classes,
but I often forget what a certain property/method in a certain class
does/returns, and the code hinting/completion in FB3 isn't very
helpful most of the time.

It would be neat if there could be a quick shortcut button to switch
between examples and a condensed version of the flex class reference
(allow me to select if multiple classes are relevant), similar to how
Netbeans and to a lesser extent Eclipse Java works. That would save me
a lot of time going back and forth between FB3 and my browser as I do
now.
