RE: [flexcoders] flex 4.0 component focus issue

[Alex Harui]

Depending on which build, there have been issues.  Does it work for 
mx:TextInput?

Subject: [flexcoders] flex 4.0 component focus issue



trying to use tab key to tab through some inputfields in a form but none of my 
components get focus.
anyone have any experience with focus issues using the flex 4.0 sdk?

heres a sample of my code:












I am trying to tab through username to password to the login button.
But when I hit tab the focus goes either to the location bar or possibly to the 
app itself (seems like there is a light gray focus rect around the entire app 
at some times).

Also tried this without the form or formitems, just two textInputs and a button 
without any luck.

Has anything changed with the focus manager or enabling tabbing through 
components that I might be missing?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: AIR app, need MouseMove events NOT bounded by screen

[Tracy Spratt]

Thanks, but my issue is that the AIR app is full screen.  And AIR does not
provide any way to set the system cursor(mouse pointer) position.

 

I think I have an interim solution that notes when the mouse position
reaches a boundary and sends a message to the socket server which calls an
OS level program to reset the cursor position.  As hoped, AIR recognizes
this action and the next mouse move begins at the reset position.  I still
have some wrinkles to work out but I think this will keep us going until we
figure out something better.

Do I understand correctly that you want to track when the mouse
cursor/joystick leaves the Air App window? I don't see why you shouldn't be
able to reset the x & y coordinates when they go off of the main application
window. Not that logic always has anything to do with it. This is another
one of those things that should be a given. 

Maybe this will help:

[flexcoders] Re: Need help Combobox label property

[vin.flex]

Hi there,

You can use the following code:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";>
   
  
   





create this as a reusable component and use this instead of regular 
combobox:

1) Make sure to replace "FIELDNAME" in the above code with the name of the 
field in the dataprovider.

2) Instead of selectedindex use comboboxId.selectedValue = "Value you want to 
ser".

this will solve your problem.

Ganesh,

I'm still pretty sure my original post answers your question.  In 
essence, no.  You're dong it the way it has to be done.  The Flextras 
AutoCompleteComboBox basically just encapsulates that loop so it is 
easier for you to handle. 


Mark,

 He already loaded the country names and country codes.  Why is it 
wrong to minimize the amount of data returned with the new call?  I 
think his situation is very common.


Mark Lapasa wrote:
 


You got a questionable data model if the country names are not bundled

that the client does not expect?

It seems to me that it is half dynamic.

Wouldn't your life be easier if the java WS just told you both the combo
box label and the underlying country code, instead of just the country 
code?


Anyways, if you can't do anything about it and you have to work with
what you got, another approach (in line with Tracy's idea) is to have a
Dictionary whose keys are your country code and values are country
names. The next fancy step would be the cache the dictionary into a
SharedObject so that the next time the user uses the combo box control,
previously known country code and country name pairs will be available
to the user. Just some thoughts

[flexcoders] Lcds via Tomcat on Mac - possible?

[one_rabbit_one]

I have read that although Lcds isn't supported by Adobe on macs, it is easy to 
hack it to get it working.  Duane Nickull explains it - in his usual rather 
gung-ho way - for jBoss and LCDS 2.5 - and Simeon Bateman explains it for 
Tomcat. I've tried following them for LCDS 2.6.1 -  I I unzipped the 
ds-console.war and lcds-samples.war into webapps/ROOT within Tomcat 6.0.20... 
and can see the ds-console on localhost, but when configuring Flex and 
validating the web-root, I get the error message 'LiveCycle Data Services is 
not installed at the specified location'. I tried including the unzipped 
lcds.war as well... but that didn't help.  Can anyone help me to solve this... 
or suggest another alternative route?  E.g Should I be using something 
different to supply data services on Mac? (I haven't looked into Granite.. for 
instance...).

Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks!

Although I have not tried this yet, the Flex 4 compiler has major
optimizations and is backwards compatible. Apparently, you can install
Flex 4 and configure Flex Builder to use its compiler instead of Flex
3 mxmlc.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Compilation takes long time

[Todd]

Unfortunately, you can do all those things noted above, you can restructure 
your modules, etc...but you'll probably still have longer compile times than 
you like. 

I've learned to live with it, and just treat our Flex projects like C++ 
projects in 1995.

Even optimized, on fast machines, we're looking at a minimum of 1 minute, 8 
seconds per compile for a single module.  And then 90 seconds for a single 
application.  

It really sucks when you're trying to do fast recompile because you're tweaking 
a UI item.

[flexcoders] How to displaying symbols embedded in SWC files in Flex button icon styles?

[Todd]

Hello,
  I'm trying to do something that I think should be pretty basic.
  I have a mx:Button that at runtime, I want to set the icon property to 
artwork that I have embedded in a SWC file.  

  Now, I know about using the Embed tag declaring a new object of type Class, 
like 
   [Embed(source="logo.gif")]
   [Bindable] public var imgCls:Class;

However, I have artwork already declared in an imported SWC.  I know the Embed 
tag doesn't work for SWCs. 

I use this artwork just fine in setting mx:Image.source for display all over 
the application.

However, when I set the mx:Button.setTyle("icon", my_icon), I get an error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert 
my_i...@315b02e1 to mx.core.IFlexDisplayObject.


Heck, I even tried simple reflection using the following to create a Class that 
resulted in the same error.:
var iconClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("my_icon") as Class;
btn.styleDeclaration.setStyle("icon", iconClass);  

I've tried casting, creating classes, etc...but nothing works.  I don't really 
want to create another version of the artwork.

Any ideas on how to set the icon property of a Button at runtime with a symbol 
declared in a SWC?

[Nayan]

Hi Mike,

I am still getting the same error, if i put in the external libs it just means 
that the files get compiled without the flex framework and my swc file is 8 kb 
instead of 600kb.

For some reason the name space is causing an issue and i have tried including 
all the source paths too but it makes no difference. 

this is my new build.xml file.

[flexcoders] Does it required to have Licenced Version of LCDS for Clustering

[Dharmendra Chauhan]

  I am bit confused on LCDS products. I have downloaded trial version and 
trying to replicate DataService's Destination.

Does it required to buy licensed veresion of LCDS  to DataServive Destination 
replication ?

My req is If serverA is down then user should immedialtely get connected to 
serverB with the same state as It was on  serverA.

Dharmendra

 

[flexcoders] Flexbuilder 3 & Java problems

[Merrill, Jason]

I'm having Java runtime problems with Flexbuilder 3 again.  I swear, I'm
so tired of this. I've never had software that kept breaking so much.
I've done nothing to Flex (though maybe my company has), and it seems to
break every six months or so.  So weird.  Anyway, the problem is when I
try and launch FB3, I get the following message:

"Could not create the Java virtual machine"

Then I click the OK button and it quits.

So I thought, OK, I'll make sure I have Java installed, that I have the
latest installed.  Nope, that didn't work (installing Java 6 and putting
the newer Java files into FB3's JRE folder) - so I moved the previous
ones back into the JRE folder.  Right now, the JRE version installed in
my C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\jre folder is version 6.  

So then I thought maybe Java was messed up in my Eclipse folder, but I
couldn't find any Java references in there.  

I see in my Java control panel (windows XP) that I have the following on
my system:

Platform:  1.6,  Product: 1.6.0_14, Path: C:Program
Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe  Enabled: true
Platform:  1.6,  Product: 1.6.0_5, Path: C:Program
Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05\bin\javaw.exe  Enabled: true
Platform:  1.4,  Product: 1.4.2_17, Path: C:Program
Files\Java\jre1.4.2_17\bin\javaw.exe  Enabled: true

Any clues on how to fix this?  Thanks,

I have a PopUpButton subclass which pops up a menu built as follows:

_menu.setStyle("openDuration", 3500);

[flexcoders] flex 4.0 component focus issue

[blc187]

trying to use tab key to tab through some inputfields in a form but none of my 
components get focus.  
anyone have any experience with focus issues using the flex 4.0 sdk?

heres a sample of my code:


  

  
  

  




I am trying to tab through username to password to the login button. 
But when I hit tab the focus goes either to the location bar or possibly to the 
app itself (seems like there is a light gray focus rect around the entire app 
at some times).

Also tried this without the form or formitems, just two textInputs and a button 
without any luck.

Has anything changed with the focus manager or enabling tabbing through 
components that I might be missing?

[flexcoders] Re: AIR app, need MouseMove events NOT bounded by screen

[Adrian Resa Jones]

Do I understand correctly that you want to track when the mouse cursor/joystick 
leaves the Air App window? I don't see why you shouldn't be able to reset the x 
& y coordinates when they go off of the main application window. Not that logic 
always has anything to do with it. This is another one of those things that 
should be a given.  

Maybe this will help:

[flexcoders] Manipulate y-axis of built-in tooltip?

[Adrian Williams]

Hi all,

   Quick question...is there a way to manipulate the y-axis position of 
a tooltip without using a custom tooltip? For example, I have an image 
that has uses the builtin tooltip and I need to have it display above 
the image.


   I have a series of images, side by side, in the bottom right of my 
screen...when a user hovers over one of the images, because they are 
already grounded in the bottom right, the tooltip shows up and covers 
the images so the user has to really pay attention to the text to 
realize which image they are clicking.


click="cascadeWindows()" verticalCenter="0" right="70" toolTip="Click to 
rearrange your widgets staggered one on another." />


   I'm trying to see if there is an easy way to deal with this without 
having to dig into custom tooltips.


Appreciate the help!
Adrian

[flexcoders] Help with extending button

[Angela]

I am trying to create a toggle button that will show a label and a colored box 
dynamically. I thought extending the button component would be my best option. 
I add a Box component and set it's background color to the color passed to the 
button. 

Everything almost works, except the Box seems to be underneath the button and 
when it is toggled you can no longer see it (alpha is 100%).

I feel like I must be missing something very simple. Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.

Here is my code:

package com.view
{
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.text.TextLineMetrics;

import mx.containers.Box;
import mx.controls.Button;
import mx.core.UITextField;

public class LegendButton extends Button
{
[Bindable] public var legendColor:uint;
private var legendIcon:Box;

public function LegendButton()
{
super();
}

override protected function createChildren():void
{   
if (!legendIcon)
{
legendIcon = new Box;
legendIcon.styleName = this;

legendIcon.setStyle('backgroundColor',legendColor);
legendIcon.width = 10;
legendIcon.height = 10;
addChild(legendIcon);
}

if (!textField)
{
textField = new UITextField();
textField.styleName = this;

addChild(flash.display.DisplayObject(textField));
}

super.createChildren();
}

protected override function 
updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void
{   
this.setStyle('paddingLeft',15);
this.setStyle('paddingRight',5);

legendIcon.move(5,5);

super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth,unscaledHeight);
}

override protected function measure():void
{
if (!isNaN(explicitWidth))
{
var w:Number = explicitWidth;
w -= getStyle('horizontalGap') + 
getStyle('paddingLeft') + getStyle('paddingRight');
textField.width = w;
}
super.measure();
}

override public function measureText(s:String):TextLineMetrics
{
textField.text = s;
var lineMetrics:TextLineMetrics = 
textField.getLineMetrics(0);
lineMetrics.width = textField.textWidth + 4;
lineMetrics.height = textField.textHeight + 4;
return lineMetrics;
} 

}
}

[flexcoders] Re: advanced datagrid refresh

[valdhor]

First off, it's a bit difficult to debug as we don't have access to your 
service to get the data you are seeing.

Anyway, one thing I noticed is that in your function refreshBtn_clickHandler, 
you have the line:

adg.dataProvider = "{getAllItemsCollection}";

This will not work as you intend. You are mixing ActionScript syntax with MXML 
syntax. I'm pretty sure that what you really want is:

adg.dataProvider = getAllItemsCollection;

RE: [flexcoders] Re: AIR app, need MouseMove events NOT bounded by screen

[Tracy Spratt]

That is probably what I will implement if I can't find something better, but
I think the design folks will not like it since it will require the user to
move the joystick in the opposite direction to stop the map from panning
endlessly.

 

I am beginning to fear that I will have to push the cursor functionality on
the back-end application itself, where they can hopefully get lower level
access to the mouse/cursor/joystick driver

Just throwing out an idea ;-}

How about just keep on panning in the same direction when mouse move events
stop (Maybe check the mouse X/Y position and do this if it's at the edge of
the screen). When the user moves the mouse back into the screen bounds, you
will start getting events again and can respond appropriately.

look at combo boxes labelfunction
the function will then inspect the countrycode and you'll have a nasty

[flexcoders] Re: AIR app, need MouseMove events NOT bounded by screen

[valdhor]

Just throwing out an idea ;-}

How about just keep on panning in the same direction when mouse move events 
stop (Maybe check the mouse X/Y position and do this if it's at the edge of the 
screen). When the user moves the mouse back into the screen bounds, you will 
start getting events again and can respond appropriately.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Compilation takes long time

[Alexander Tarelkin]

I googled on the same subject literally a couple of weeks ago.
Here is the link that shed some light and helped me:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33768/any-advice-for-speeding-up-the-compile-time-in-flex-builder-3

What turned out relevant for our projects:
* Slow compile time is most often caused by having large numbers of embedded
resources ([Embed] or @Embed).
We have plenty of them, but the second tip helped much more.
* Go to Project->Properties->Flex Applications. All of the applications
listed are compiled each time.
This one is so evident but no one thought of that. We had 8 applications in
the project, but only two of them were required at a time.

[flexcoders] Scrollbar intersection.

[ivansebastiansurya]

Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering if any of you guys have attempted to color the square that 
results as the intersection of the vertical and horizontal scroll bars.

I have a containers that have both scrollbars on, the ugly thing is that there 
is this white square at the bottom right corner of my container where the 
scrollbars intersect.

Is there a way to change the colour of that square?

Many thanks,

Ivan.

[flexcoders] advanced datagrid refresh

[awesome]

When I press delete I need to refresh  datagrid to display changes. Currently
it displays changes only when I reload the page.

I tried getAllItemsCollection.refresh(); but it only collapses grouping and
does not display changes.

For testing purposes I created delete button and tried everything from
invalidatedisplaylist to reassigning dataprovider but with no luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

My code:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="vertical"
minWidth="1024" minHeight="768"
xmlns:izdelkiservice="services.izdelkiservice.*">















http://localhost/kerin_updater-debug/gateway.php";
fault="Alert.show(event.fault.faultString)" showBusyCursor="true"
source="IzdelkiService"/>

[flexcoders] Re: Need help Combobox label property

[gan_sun2006]

Thanks to everyone for suggestions.

I am having a combo in which the values are dynamically coming from DB thru 
java WS. The case is, when i select a country for instance say "India", the 
code for the corresponding selection "IN" is saved to the DB thru java WS 
during SAVE action. When i retrieve the value in future, I am given only the 
countrycode "IN". Using this code, I have to show the countryname on label 
property of my combo. I am currently looping thru the arraycol(dataprovider) 
for checking the code for "IN" and setting the arraycol index to 
combo.selectedIndex. I cannot use switch() here as the values are dynamic from 
DB.

Is there any other better way of doing this...?

Thanks in advance!!!

Regards,
Ganesh Sundar R.
