RE: [flexcoders] ItemRenderer that switches to edit mode depending on where it's clicked
Honestly? I'd take a leaf out of Flex 4, and ignore the ItemEditor. You can get the same effect by having the item renderer switch to an editable state, and therefore get the functionality you want without having to wade through the ItemEditor nonsense. Gk.

Essentially, I'd like to go into edit mode if user clicks on a data field, but to do nothing (other than select the item) if user clicks elsewhere in the item. (Imagine that the ItemRenderer contains some icons, buttons, and empty space as well as data fields). I would think that the trick is to use the itemEditBeginning event handler (and in certain cases call event.preventDefault()), but this event does not know about subcomponents of the ItemRenderer, and subcomponents of the itemRenderer don't know about this event. --Henry

[flexcoders] Re: Lcds via Tomcat on Mac - possible?
The lcds test drive as distributed by adobe, with an older version of tomcat, works on the mac -- although I think I installed the linux version on linux and then copied the installed/unpacked dir over to the mac. I think the problem you are running into is trying to get lcds installed correctly on a newer version of tomcat. There are some notes/hints in the livecycle release notes on how to go about setting up livecycle correctly. I remember doing a diff between a standard tomcat install and the tomcat provided by adobe to finally figure it out. You are likely to run into this problem running on all platforms, not just Macs. Good luck!
[flexcoders] Access hidden server files in Flex
Hi everyone, I have a site that contains a large audio library. I would like the swf to access the library, but hide the mp3s from the user so they can't access them directly. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to do this? Thanks!
[flexcoders] Re: has no visualization in visualizer
OK, this is what I did to get the samples working... * Went to http://labs.kapit.fr/display/visualizer/Visualizer and signed in (Sign up if you haven't already done so). * Clicked on the Download latest version link and saved the file to my desktop. * Clicked on the Visualizer Samples with source link. * Clicked on the Visualize radial data from XML link. * Scrolled down to the sample output; Right clicked and selected View Source. * Clicked the Download source (ZIP, 801K) link and saved the file to my desktop * Started Flex Builder (BTW. I am using SDK 3.3). * Imported the VisualizerSamples.zip into flex. * Extracted Visualizer.swc from the Visualizer.1.2.6.zip file * Placed Visualizer.swc into the libs folder of my VisualizerSamples project replacing the older version that was there. * Opened VisualizerSample1.mxml and clicked the debug button * This gave me a Security Sandbox Violation - Connection to xmlData/PoepleHierarchy.xml halted - not permitted... * Went to http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html ; Clicked Edit Locations-Add Location-Browse for Folder... and selected the bin-debug folder inside my VisualizerSamples project. * Went back to Flex Builder and clicked the debug button. * Everything worked so I tried the three other samples.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Lcds via Tomcat on Mac - possible?
just grab the latest version of tomcat, drop them lcds jars under tomcat/lib
and remember to set the context in your application project xml under
tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/{project}.xml to include
Context
Transaction factory=org.objectweb.jotm.UserTransactionFactory
jotm.timeout=60/
/Context
then you should really be good to go.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: AIR app, need MouseMove events NOT bounded by screen
Once the mouse pointer position hits a screen border, further attempts to move in that direction do not generate mouseMove events. For example, put the pointer in the top left corner, and once you get (0,0), no more events are generated. If you put the pointer on a border and wiggle it along that border, the changes in the other axis do generate events, but that doesn't really help me. I do not know what is happening at the AIR runtime/OS/driver level, but the mouse and joystick have the same behavior at the application level.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: AIR app, need MouseMove events NOT bounded by screen
Tracy, Can't you take a different approach? This is for panning the map, yes? How about, every frame: - if the mouseX is less than a certain amount (e.g. is in the left third of the screen), pan your map left. - if the mouseX is greater than a certain amount (e.g. the right third of the screen), pan your map right. You could add more complication than that - the further it is to the edge of the screen, the higher the move acceleration or whatever. That should get around your problem - not sure if it'll give you the user experience you desire, but it could be worth trying.

[flexcoders] Cut DisplayObject into bitmapdata squares
So I am trying to cut a DisplayObject (DO) into bitmapdata chunks that are roughly 1000 by 1000 pixels. When I get the initial bounds of the DO I they are x=-396, y0, w=1110, h=1633. I think the x of -396 is throwing me off. Plus, I feel like I am fighting myself on the Matrix vs. Rectangle in the hugeBmp.draw(DO, mtrx, null, null, rec, false ); If I do this mtrx.translate( initRecX, initRecY ); all is fine it works. (the above is moving the DO to x=0 and y=0 when it grabs the bitmapdata). But I also need to scale via mtrx.scale( .5, .5), which is where things stop working. I need to slide over via translate then scale down the section of DO I am trying to grab a snapshot of. Any ideas or examples out there? J
[flexcoders] Any suggestion for server (java) side run-time styling solution?
Hi, We read the documentation about loading styles from out side but unfortunately they all discuss loading swf compiled files. While it is possible to let an editor edit the style on the server and then run the compiler on the server to generate a swf file, it looks like redundant complexity. The server is a cluster and it'll require additional set-up for every server. Does anyone have a different solution? Just to clarify - the requirement is to have the client load the style in run-time. This style should be manageable on a management interface running on a java server. Thanks, Guy
[flexcoders] Flash Player 10 | FileReference.Save
Hi I have scenario in which the user clicks the 1.Click the button. 2.Make a call to server using Remote Object 3.Show the popup to save the data in file. But i came through Flash Player 10 Security Model which says that Error #2176: Certain actions, such as those that display a pop-up window, may only be invoked upon user interaction, for example by a mouse click or button press. Does it mean that the user has to view the data in the datagrid and then click save button (User Interaction according to Flash Player 10 Security Model) to save the data in the file. Is there way user can save the data directly after server response. Any pointer is highly appreciated Thanks ilikeflex
