RE: [flexcoders] Re: Drag and drop into Advanced Datagrid

[Tracy Spratt]

I am sure.  I have not done a lot with ADG but have done a lot with DnD in
general and suspect the process will be the same.  Declare your own drag
event handlers and perform the logic needed.  It is mostly irrelevant what
the UI is since you will be manipulating a dataProvider.

I have this advanced datagrid and I want to make sure that anything dropped
into the grid can only go into a folder, can this happen?

Thanks

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How can we increase web service performance?

[Tracy Spratt]

How are you doing your timing?  As Steve has pointed out, there are two
distinct parts to this.  If the bottleneck is truly with the data service
call then you will not be able to do much from within Flex.

 

However, unless your data payload is huge, data transfer is rarely the
bottleneck.  Instead, the time is mostly taken up in the rendering of the
screen.

 

If you are judging the time based on when the screen displays, then you do
not know if the web service is slow or not.

 

To find out for sure, call getTimer and save the value in an instance
variable just before you invoke send().  Then call getTimer again in the
result handler and subtract.  This will tell you the actual data service
latency.

getting time to take the data from the web service. 

 

for example:

but in the flex side data will retrive after 6-8 secs.

So, again I ask... Is the problem with the amount of time Flex takes to
parse the data or with the amount of time taken to get the data from the web

[flexcoders] Re: Still struggling with creation complete

[reflexactions]

Out of the box when using deferred instantiation the ViewStack was designed to 
only support animations on a child container 'hide' not 'show'.

If you only slide 'out' it should work fine, if you want to slide 'in' or both 
'in' and 'out' you need to roll you own version of ViewStack and build in the 
support.

This is something we have done, though I can't really help with the code 
because of copyright.

You need to override selectedIndex, commitSelectedIndex, and commitProperties 
as well as add a function to init the selected child container.

Its not really difficult, you should take a look at the adobe code in the 
ViewStack and basically emulate that.

[flexcoders] Highlighting a day in DateChooser

[David Harris]

Hi Everyone,

Is it possible with a DateField/DateChooser to highlight a specific day? EG:
I have 2 DateChoosers.
The user selectes a date in the first one, and then when they open the
second one I would like the selected date from the first one to be
highlighted.
I see there is the ability to disable specific days, but I don't want
to disable anything, just highlight it

I might be missing something in the docs, but I can't see what I am looking for!

Cheers!

[flexcoders] Using Just Some Components of Flexlib

[Angelo Anolin]

Hi FlexCoders,

I have been browsing out the Flexlib in Google Code and I am thinking of using 
just some of the controls, particularly the Propt TextInput control.

I have downloaded the ZIP file and have extracted the same.

As I am using more of the command line compiler in Vista, how do I use only the 
PromptingTextInput control?  I have already extracted the file 
PromptingTextInput.as.

How would I reference it in my MXML and just use the control?

Thanks.

Rgds,

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Still struggling with creation complete

[Alex Harui]

The code for a SHOW event runs before things are drawn to the screen.  Sound 
like something is causing an extra invalidation of the children so they aren't 
ready right away.  Can you make a simple test case?

dispatched for creation types of none and queued.

Here's my current code:

override public function set selectedIndex(value:int):void

_lastIndex = selectedIndex;

if(value != _newIndex && value != _lastIndex && value >= 0 && _lastIndex >= 0)
{
_newIndex = value;
var targetChild:Container = getChildAt(value) as Container;

targetChild.createComponentsFromDescriptors(true);
validateNow();
_creationTimer = new Timer(3000,1);
_creationTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,child_creation,false,0,true);
_creationTimer.start();
return;
}
else
{
slideTabs(_lastIndex,_newIndex);

[flexcoders] Re: Creating Resize Handles

[flexaustin]

Robert, have you used the transformtool in a flex app before? When I try to add 
it via tool.target = mySprite and myOtherSprite.addChild(tool). 

It puts the tool on screen but its so small I can barely see it. If I try to 
set the w or h it stays the same size; tiny. Also when the tool is put on 
screen its about 200 pixels away on the x-axis.

I still believe that all children of a viewstack are created no matter the 
creationpolicy.  CreationPolicy affects the grandchildren.  CreationComplete on 
the child is long gone.  Try listening to SHOW as well, and call validateNow on 
the entire viewstack, not just the child.  Children get their size from the

[flexcoders] Help with resizing contents of a window in Flex app.

[michelleny914]

I'm trying to setup a system that will allow the user to view PDF forms within 
my Flex app. I have created a WindowedApplication  containing a HBox with 
contains a HTML control. My problem right now is that the PDF will display, but 
the window does not open at a good size for viewing. When I resize the window 
to better view the PDF, it appears that the HBOX or HTML control is not 
resizing properly. Here is the code I have so far:

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; 
layout="absolute" resize="resizeWindow()">
   
  
   










   
   
   







As you can see this is a very basic form. This is the first project in FLEX so 
I'm still learning. My ResizeViewer and ResizeWindow functions don't seem to 
work as expected. Thanks for any advice that you can give.

[flexcoders] Re: How can we increase web service performance?

[turbo_vb]

While they are the easiest to create and implement, WebServices are inherently 
the slowest protocol of choice.  Consider switching to RemoteObject and 
BlazeDS; to realize a significant increase in performance.  Having the client 
parse-out SOAP xml, is like choosing to put an old VW engine in Ferrari.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How can we increase web service performance?

[Krunal Panchal]

getting time to take the data from the web service. 

for example:

In web method i am executing the storec procedure, which will executed in 3 
secs.

but in the flex side data will retrive after 6-8 secs.

[flexcoders] Re: sorting a datagrid column with an itemrenderer

[turbo_vb]

Man, I have to ask, how did you come up with a custom DataGridColumn component 
solution, that uses an inline itemRenderer?  You're not doing anything crazy 
with the headerRenderer, so why not just create a custom itemRenderer instead?

[flexcoders] Re: AdvancedDataGrid itemOpen() to resize Container

[Matthew]

I figured out one way to do it:

private function openRow():void{
var windowShade:WindowShade = this as 
WindowShade;
windowShade.height += appColl.source.length * 
20;
}

The problem seemed to be that I was referencing the parent container 
incorrectly. The thing I want to do now on the itemOpen() event of the 
AdvancedDataGrid is to get the height of its renderProvider (another 
AdvancedDataGrid) and then add that to the overall height. 

I've perused the properties available from the AdvancedDataGridEvent but all I 
get is access to the current item and an array of renderProviders, not the 
height of the renderProvider itself. 

Is there a way to get access to the height of an AdvancedDataGrid's 
renderProvider? 

Thank you.

[flexcoders] Client/Server Synchronization Problem.

[whiskerstasters]

Hello everyone, I am currently experiencing some problems of Client/Server 
Synchronisation during the creation of a new entity with Cairngorm.
 
When I try to create an object, for example "User", I pass a new instance of 
UserVO with a NULL ID. 
COMMAND -> DELEGATE -> REMOTE OBJECT -> SERVER.
 
My backend is Java & Hibernate. 
My UserService successfully adds the new user to my DB.
When I get my object back in my result() function in my COMMAND, the ID of my 
object that was generated by my DB is never updated in my front end...
 
Is there a transparent mechanism that can synchronize a new created object with 
the one returned by my UserService?

Thank you
David

Is the problem with Flex or with the web service itself? You can check data 
latency with something like Charles (www.charlesproxy.com).
In my experience, web services are not that fast.

[flexcoders] switching from lcds to blazeds

[prince_arora84]

I am using live cycle data management services in my flex project for  backend 
connectivity. But now i am planning to switch from LCDS to Blazeds which do not 
supports Data management services. When i am trying to start the tomcat with 
blazeds exception is thrown regarding: 'AbstractAssembler' class is not found 
which i think is a part of Data management services. So is there any way around 
i can use data management service with blazeds. Is there any open source plugin 
for blazeds which supports data management services in blazeds.?

[flexcoders] How can we increase web service performance?

[Krunal Panchal]

Hi All,

I have create the web based flex application on which i am using the dot net 
web service. When i call the web service method it is taking time to retrive 
the data.

Web Service Configuration:
I have configure web service by importing option from Data menu. Which we will 
automatically generate all the action script files. So i have calling the web 
service by calling its object. For example:

privatevarserviceMenu : myWebService;privatefunctionregisteredAppInit() : 
void{    // registered the event    serviceMenu = 
    
serviceMenu.addapplicationInitEventListenernewmyWebService(null,strWebServiceURI);
    (        function(event : ApplicationInitResultEvent) : void        {       
        var
    arrLocation = event.result;arrLocation : ArrayCollection = 
newArrayCollection();        }
serviceMenu.applicationInit(
 
Thank in Advance

Re: [flexcoders] Label Control Text Value Coming From a Function Call

[Angelo Anolin]

Alex,

I tried it initially and it did not worked.

Found out the reason.  The label control is inside a datagrid control column 
and what I did was I prepended the function call with the word "outerDocument" 
like:



And I also set the function to Public so it is accessible to the label control.

Am I correct in setting the function to be public?

Thanks.

Angelo

Subject: [flexcoders] Label Control Text Value Coming From a Function Call
 
  
Hi FlexCoders,
 
I have a label control where the text value that should be displayed is coming 
from a defined function.
   
   For example:
   
   
   
   private function setDayName(monthNo: Number, dayNo:Number, yearNo:Number) 
:String
   {
 // Make some calculations on the day based on the date parameter passed.
 //..
 .
 
 //Assuming the day value is returned after parsing the date value parameters.
 return 'Monday'
   }
   
   Is it possible to assign that the LabelDay1 object would display in the text 
the value returned by the function setDayName.  Please take note that I have a 
lot of instances of the label control which is inside a datagrid column 
control's header renderer so placing them in a function outside would be 
tedious.
   
   Would this be possible:
   
   
   
   Appreciate your response. Thanks.
 
Regards,
 
Angelo
