RE: [flexcoders] - MXMLC -includes

[Alex Harui]

-includes takes classnames not file or directory names.  If you don't want an 
ever-growing commandline, use a -config file.

For example, for the project Foo.mxml, the file Foo-config.xml can contain 
other mxmlc options like




somepackage.somesubpackage.SomeClass
someotherpackage.someothersubpackage.SomeOtherClass

Hello Guys,

I would like to force the flex compiler to include a set of class from a 
specific dir. I'm using ant to compile my project and i know that i can use the 
compiler option -includes to links one or more classes. However i don't want to 
everytime I create a new class have to add it at the compiler arguments. Do you 
guys know how can I include a entire dir and force the compiler to include 
these classes?

Thank for your time

Smells like a JS/Flash security issue and maybe a JS side call will fix it.  
I'm not an expert in this area though.

Both domains are https. Yeah, I'll use the debugger but I get the impression 
that this is a Flash Player security restriction.

  The mx.controls. TextInput component has the .textField

Are you using spark.components. TextInput instead? In which case I

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Modules and fonts vanishing is giving me the cramps

[Alex Harui]

The rule for fonts in Flex is that whatever TextField or subclass of TextFIeld 
(like DataGridItemRenderer) is displaying the font must be created in the 
module containing the font.  I haven't used pureMVC so I don't know how it 
could break that.  Most Flex components use a lookup scheme to figure out which 
moduleFactory to use.  Others like Charts and DataGrid need to use 
ContextualClassFactory instead of the default ClassFactory.  Could you have 
changed something in there?

[flexcoders] CSV file: Coldfusion to Flex/Air

Has anyone created a dynamic query to csv through Coldfusion and been
able to receive it through Flex or Air?

 

When I was doing straight Coldfusion code I could create a CSV file on
the fly without dumping it on the webserver first.  I can't see anyway
to pass that back through to Air, does anyone know if a way?

Re: [flexcoders] How to get X, Y position/coordinates of a specific character/letter in a text field

[Ian Thomas]

The mx.controls.TextInput component has the .textField property that I
mentioned in my second email.

Are you using spark.components.TextInput instead? In which case I
don't know, I'm afraid - haven't delved that deep into Spark yet.

Sorry!

[flexcoders] Re: Text Effect: One Letter at a Time

[Baz]

I am thinking that I need to isolate the position of the specific letter,
then create a new text element with that letter to animate then destroy.
What do you guys think, is that the way to go? Is there a more efficient
way?

Hey Thanks Ian,

I was just looking at that actually but TextInput doesn't seem to have it
(Flex 4). I read that you can use:

import mx.core.mx_internal;
use namespace mx_internal;

to access TextField and then getCharBoundaries() but that doesn't seem to
work in Flex 4.

Any ideas?

Re: [flexcoders] How to get X, Y position/coordinates of a specific character/letter in a text field

[Ian Thomas]

Oh - sorry, should have said - you'll need to get at the .textField
property of (for example) your mx.controls.Text object, which will
give you back the raw flash.text.TextField for you to then call
getCharBoundaries() on it.

Unfortunately, .textField is a protected property of mx.controls.Text,
so can't be seen from outside the class.

The simplest way to get at it is to extend mx.controls.Text - build
your own component that inherits from Text. That will give you access
to the .textField property you need; then you can call methods on it
as appropriate.

   Ian

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Modules and fonts vanishing is giving me the cramps

Most common scenario:  you switched to using a bold font, but didn't embed the 
bold font, just the normal font.

Second:  The font didn't get embedded.  Use -keep-generated-actionscript or 
-link-report to see if the font is really there

Third:  If fonts are in modules, make sure they are loaded and didn't get 
unloaded

Hi All,

I'm trying to host the html-template files provided by Flex Builder (including 
all necessary JavaScript) on one domain ("www.mydomain.com") and the embedded 
SWF on another ("swf.mydomain.com").

Now, even though I call Security.allowDomain("*.mydomain.com") in my Flex app 
and allowScriptAccess="always" in the embedding html, FlashPlayer complains 
about a SecurityViolation in flashlog.txt. It actually happens as soon as I hit 
the browser's back button.

Firebug reports: "uncaught exception: Error calling method on NPObject! [plugin
exception: Error in Actionscript. Use a try/catch block to find
error.]."
The exception gets thrown in the setTitle function in history.js.

Crossdomain files don't seem to be the issue, they're set up and working fine 
for other content.

I cannot really find any reference of others who tried this before, does anyone 
know if it is actually possible at all to host the history related JavaScript 
in a different domain than the SWF?

[flexcoders] Text Effect: One Letter at a Time

Is it possible to apply an effect on a single letter in a textinput field?
For example, when a letter gets typed (*change* effect), that letter expands

independently and sequentially expands and fades out as they are typed.

Not a simple question.

 

The issue with performance and datagrid is rendering. Poorly optimized item
renderers are the primary problem.  A large number of accesses of XML nodes
has also been shown to be problematic.

 

Understand that what matters is what is visible on screen.  Beyond that,
there will be no significant difference in performance for large data sets.

 

Data service latency and user experience are additional issues to consider.

Re: [flexcoders] Different Views | Same DataProvider

[Beau Scott]

The sorting is stored on the ListCollectionView dataProvider of each list
control. If you set the list controls to share the same ListCollectionView,
the sorting will be common. If you set the dataprovider to each control to
be a non-ListCollectionView object (an array for example, instead of an
ArrayCollection), the sorting will be unique between the two as different
ArrayCollection objects will be created to wrap the same source array, but
data will not be duplicated. There are some caveats: The ListCollectionView
also handles update events, so if you change the data in one list control,
it won't be shown in the other until you call other.dataProvider.refresh(),
and this can be a heavy operation as it has to reindex, sort and seek.
Here's an example:

=

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="horizontal" xmlns:local="*">


























=


Note that you can sort the datagrids independent of eachother. If you click
"add to right grid", a new line item will be added to the right grid only.
It has been added to the regionData Array, as well, but becase Array is not
an event dispatcher, the left grid is not automatically refreshed. If you
click the refresh button, the dataProvider for left is refreshed and the new
lines show up.


Hope this helps,

Beau

[flexcoders] Different Views | Same DataProvider

[ilikeflex]

Hi

I have array collection as a data provider. I have two different views.
User can do sorting in different views.

But i want that the one view is not affected by another.I know i can keep two 
different copies of dataprovider for different views.

Is there any other way. Actually my dataprovider has more than 25,000 records.

Need your suggestions.

Thanks

Re: [flexcoders] How to host my own flex application using LCDS or BlazeDS?

[Wally Kolcz]

I am going to go on a limb and say there is no hosted solutions for Blaze or 
LCDS. Reason being is that it would be too hard to manage everyone's entries in 
the services, messaging, etc XML documents.

I went out and got my own virtual private host with vpsland.com. Just cost me 
$34 per month.

search for java (usually tomcat / jboss) hosting plans.

Another option (more expensive) is to get your own server

[flexcoders] BrowserManager crossdomain issues

[david.keutgens]

Hi All,

I'm trying to host the html-template files provided by Flex Builder (including 
all necessary JavaScript) on one domain ("www.mydomain.com") and the embedded 
SWF on another ("swf.mydomain.com").

Now, even though I call Security.allowDomain("*.mydomain.com") in my Flex app 
and allowScriptAccess="always" in the embedding html, FlashPlayer complains 
about a SecurityViolation in flashlog.txt. It actually happens as soon as I hit 
the browser's back button. 

Firebug reports: "uncaught exception: Error calling method on NPObject! [plugin
exception: Error in Actionscript. Use a try/catch block to find
error.]."
The exception gets thrown in the setTitle function in history.js.

Crossdomain files don't seem to be the issue, they're set up and working fine 
for other content.

I cannot really find any reference of others who tried this before, does anyone 
know if it is actually possible at all to host the history related JavaScript 
in a different domain than the SWF?

RE: [flexcoders] How to know that an application has "createdCompleted" ?

[Scott]

I would either add it into the component's creationcomplete (not the
main components creationcomplete) or create a custom event to fire...

Hi there,

I built a little component that needs the application to be fully
completed before it starts working itself. I.e: I need to listen to the
application creationComplete event.
Now, that works if the user adds my component in the first
page...However when it is added in a state for example that is supposed
to get active later on in the application, application creationComplete
has obviously long been fired

I am sure there is a simple answer to my question, I just could not find
any flag on the application object that would tell me that it is done in
its lifecycle flow.
Thnx.

Hi. I'm both new to flex and this group. I primarily use felx for web site 
design. Anyways, I had a question for anyone to help me with. I am trying to 
get deeplinking to work so that someone can bookmark the a web site at a 
specific state. I am having trouble understanding when/how the browser fragment 
is read at loadtime. Is the BROWSER_URL_CHANGE event always called after the 
application completes loading?
