[flexcoders] itemRollOut on AdvancedDataGrid?
No tooltips on the ADG, just handlers for itemRollOver and itemRollOut. ADG is set to selectionMode=singleCell. Never getting an itemRollOut event as far as I can tell. I was reading about some problems with this, but was not aware that the ADG itemRollOut event just plain did not fire. Is this correct? TIA, Mic.

[flexcoders] Situations when Keyboard events are not detected
I have a Flex 3 app where I have added a keyboard listener to the stage using capture (this was done in a component defined in a swc library) with the intent of getting all keyboard events that happen in the application. However, under certain circumstances (specifically when i click on a custom chart component), the event listeners will no longer fire until I click on other components _or_ I press the tab key. I have tried setting the event listeners with a high priority number as well but they still don't fire. What kind of things could be causing this behaviour? -- Alistair Hutton

[flexcoders] TileList and CustomItemRenderer: How to dynamically change styles
Hi,
I'm new to flex, would need some help from the experts.
I have a TileList in my application.. Here is the snippet:
var favList:TileList = new TileList();
favList.columnCount = 2;
favList.dataProvider = favArr;
favList.itemRenderer = createItemRenderer();
favList.percentHeight = 100;
favList.percentWidth = 100;
favList.dropEnabled = true;
favList.dragEnabled = true;
favList.dragMoveEnabled = true;
The ItemRenderer tied to the TileList is :
mx:VBox xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; width=100%
height=100% borderStyle=solid borderThickness=0 cornerRadius=5
mx:Style
.filled
{
border-style: solid;
border-thickness: 0;
border-skin: ClassReference(border.SimpleGradientBorder);
fill-colors: #F0F0F0, #C9C9C9;
corner-radius: 10;
drop-shadow-enabled: true;
}
/mx:Style
mx:Script
![CDATA[
public function changeStyleWest(col1:String, col2:String):void
{
box.setStyle(fillColors, [col1, col2]);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:HBox id=box styleName=filled horizontalAlign=center

source=assets/{data.Image} visible=true/
mx:Label text={data.Name} width=100 textAlign=center

/mx:VBox
/mx:HBox
/mx:VBox
Now what i want to achieve is else where in the application there are couple
of buttons and on clicking these buttons i want to change the fill-colors or
style of each Tile based on some Data attributes.
Many Thanks

[flexcoders] How to create a zoom UI object?
Hi, I'm hoping to create a little zoom UI object - like the one you find at the bottom-right of IE. I'm guessing I could use a ComboxBox? But I can't figure out how to drop an icon on it... Or is there a better way of doing this? Perhaps a button that when clicked just shows a popup? I think I need a few pointers so any guidance would be great... :) Thanks, Nick
[flexcoders] Re: Still struggling with creation complete
Thanks for the response.
I actually used to use that exact technique to handle the sliding. The only
problem with that way is that since you're listening for the change, the new
tab will appear briefly before the animation. It will slide in properly, but
that flicker irritated me. If there's a good way to fix that problem, then I
could abandon my attempts at overriding selected index.
I am eventually calling super.selectedIndex, it's just not until the entire
transition has completed.

Flex works like a peach with any backend, we successfully use it with C#/ASP,NET. There is another post about this recently, have a look there.

Here is the situation: We are developing an app with a Flex frontend and a C# backend, connected through web services. We are using the FLex Builder 3's Import Web Service tool to autogenerate the webservice classes from the wsdl generated by c#. But the problem arise when Flex serialize our objects. For example, when we have a Number property with no value, this is serialized as NaN, and our backend doesn't know about NaN. Another example, and this is our biggest problem, is when we serialize a cyclic reference, we get a stack over flow exception. I know in java, for example, you can configure the way xstream work with cyclic reference and all that stuff... So, the question is, can we change the way Flex serialize the objects so C# can work with this frontend? Does anybody work with this architecture successfully? Is there any issue we should be aware about how flex serialize objects or how flex interacts with c#? Any clue/tip/advice would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance! Jorge

There is a way to do this and I've seen write ups on it. Search around and
you'll find it. It would be nice if AIR supported this out of the box but
there are security concerns when apps are being updated without involving
someone who has admin rights to the machine.

I'm not sure what moduleLoader is. You should be using IModuleInfo.load().
Then, a UIComponent makes a poor container. It doesn't know how to measure or
layout the child so the child might have 0 size.

Subject: [flexcoders] ADOBE AIR Qs: How do you load modules from app-storage
domain?
Hi all,
I am using AIR 1.5 SDK.
I am trying to find a way to build patching mechanism for my AIR app, which
consists modules, sqlite DBs, and other files, by updating ONLY files that need
to be updated.
I know that this is not possible using AIR Update Framework because the way I
understand it works is that any update that you have both minor and major, you
will have to reinstall everything. This is a pain if you have a huge size AIR
app.
I have sort of an idea to build my own update mechanism but in order for this
to work, I will need to be able to do update operation on my AIR app files.
Since app domain doesn't allow us to do that, I have to find a place where
updates can take place and my app could still work. I read that app-storage
allows you to do all of that.
Okay... so I build a really simple AIR app that the sole purpose is to load swf
module from app-storage to prove my theory.
So here's my AIR app code the short version:
mx:WindowedApplication
mx:Script
private function loadSwf():void
{
var dir:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory
dir = dir.resolvePath(SimpleSwf.swf);//SimpleSwf is the module
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(dir.url);
var myURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myURLLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
myURLLoader.load(myURLRequest);
myURLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadModuleCompleteHandler);
}
private function loadModuleCompleteHandler(pEvent:Event):void
{
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.allowLoadBytesCodeExecution = true;
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var moduleLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(pEvent.target);
moduleLoader.loadBytes(loader.data,context);
container.addChild(moduleLoader);
}
/mx:Script
mx:VBox width=100% height=100%
mx:Button label=Load SWF click=loadSwf()/
mx:UIComponent id=container/
/mx:VBox
/mx:WindowedApplication
The result is:
When I click the button Load SWF, I could see that the loader loads the SWF
correctly (it got the right size, etc) but I didn't see the module shows up on
the screen at all.
I didn't know what I do wrong.
Please enlighten me.

Subject: [flexcoders] ADOBE AIR Qs: How do you load modules from
app-storage domain?
Hi all,
I am using AIR 1.5 SDK.
I am trying to find a way to build patching mechanism for my AIR app, which
consists modules, sqlite DBs, and other files, by updating ONLY files that
need to be updated.
I know that this is not possible using AIR Update Framework because the way I
understand it works is that any update that you have both minor and major,
you will have to reinstall everything. This is a pain if you have a huge size
AIR app.
I have sort of an idea to build my own update mechanism but in order for this
to work, I will need to be able to do update operation on my AIR app files.
Since app domain doesn't allow us to do that, I have to find a place where
updates can take place and my app could still work. I read that app-storage
allows you to do all of that.
Okay... so I build a really simple AIR app that the sole purpose is to load
swf module from app-storage to prove my theory.
So here's my AIR app code the short version:
mx:WindowedApplication
mx:Script
private function loadSwf():void
{
var dir:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory
dir = dir.resolvePath(SimpleSwf.swf);//SimpleSwf is the module
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(dir.url);
var myURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myURLLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
myURLLoader.load(myURLRequest);
myURLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadModuleCompleteHandler);
}
private function loadModuleCompleteHandler(pEvent:Event):void
{
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.allowLoadBytesCodeExecution = true;
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var moduleLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(pEvent.target);
moduleLoader.loadBytes(loader.data,context);
container.addChild(moduleLoader);
}
/mx:Script
mx:VBox width=100% height=100%
mx:Button label=Load SWF click=loadSwf()/
mx:UIComponent id=container/
/mx:VBox
/mx:WindowedApplication
The result is:
When I click the button Load SWF, I could see that the loader loads the SWF
correctly (it got the right size, etc) but I didn't see the module shows up
on the screen at all.
I didn't know what I do wrong.
Please enlighten me.

Hi,
I'm new to flex, would need some help from the experts.
I have a TileList in my application.. Here is the snippet:
var favList:TileList = new TileList();
favList.columnCount = 2;
favList.dataProvider = favArr;
favList.itemRenderer = createItemRenderer();
favList.percentHeight = 100;
favList.percentWidth = 100;
favList.dropEnabled = true;
favList.dragEnabled = true;
favList.dragMoveEnabled = true;
The ItemRenderer tied to the TileList is :
mx:VBox xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; width=100%
height=100% borderStyle=solid borderThickness=0 cornerRadius=5
mx:Style
.filled
{
border-style: solid;
border-thickness: 0;
border-skin: ClassReference(border.SimpleGradientBorder);
fill-colors: #F0F0F0, #C9C9C9;
corner-radius: 10;
drop-shadow-enabled: true;
}
/mx:Style
mx:Script
![CDATA[
public function changeStyleWest(col1:String, col2:String):void
{
box.setStyle(fillColors, [col1, col2]);
}

source=assets/{data.Image} visible=true/
mx:Label text={data.Name} width=100 textAlign=center
visible=true /
/mx:VBox
/mx:HBox
/mx:VBox
Now what i want to achieve is else where in the application there are couple
of buttons and on clicking these buttons i want to change the fill-colors or
style of each Tile based on some Data attributes.
Many Thanks

Hi Alex!
Good to hear from you.
And yes, you're right! I got it to work but there's so much code involved just
to get this module loaded.

the ItemRenderer is not recommended to change the style

Hi,

I have a TileList in my application.. Here is the snippet:
var favList:TileList = new TileList();
favList.columnCount = 2;
favList.dataProvider = favArr;
favList.itemRenderer = createItemRenderer();
favList.percentHeight = 100;
favList.percentWidth = 100;
favList.dropEnabled = true;
favList.dragEnabled = true;
favList.dragMoveEnabled = true;
The ItemRenderer tied to the TileList is :

height=100% borderStyle=solid borderThickness=0 cornerRadius=5
mx:Style

drop-shadow-enabled: true;
}
/mx:Style

public function changeStyleWest(col1:String, col2:String):void

box.setStyle(fillColors, [col1, col2]);

source=assets/{data.Image} visible=true/

Now what i want to achieve is else where in the application there are
couple of buttons and on clicking these buttons i want to change the
fill-colors or style of each Tile based on some Data attributes.
Many Thanks

[flexcoders] Training Courses
Hi, My boss was wondering if there are any recommended training courses for flex. We are based in Gibraltar but I don't think traveling is an issue. Personally I'd like to see some kind of certification out of it. Any recommended courses? I know its vague because I haven't specified a level however the flex abilities of my department are very mixed. Regards, Wes
[flexcoders] Differences between flex modules and flex components
Hi All, I was reading about flex modules and was trying to understand what is the difference between a flex module and flex component when they both server the same purpose of maintaining separate code for different components... Is there a code example to show the difference between the two? Thanks.

Checking the process memory can eliminate or rule-in the first. If your browser is using up more than 500Mb of memory, you could be running out of memory. The way I diagnose these problems is to start commenting out parts of the app to see if there is some portion of the app that makes a difference. You may see extra instances of an class if that class generates supporting objects within the player.

I have a large Flex app I'm trying to profile and make more efficient. I have some basic questions about profiling in general and application development as it relates to efficiency and performance. I have a few different item renderers which are based on HBox, have several embedded images and adds and removes these images from the HBox based on the data values. Occasionally, when a user interacts with a List or Drop-Down (one using a custom renderer), they get a Flash Ocx error. This is impossible to debug as there is no further info. The browser is then forced to crash. Is this most likely a memory or CPU issue? Most of my custom components are based on a Canvas stored in a .mxml file. When resizing my app I see CPU spike. Would basing my components on a UIComponent help this? In terms of profiling, I can see my app has 5 cumulative instances but 1 current instance. Why would there be 5 cumulative instances of the main application class? How is that even possible? Thanks! Brandon

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Adobe Flex Dashboard
Hi Valdhor,
Thanks for the input. I was really struggling particularly on this area since
the SharedObject declaration seems to only map to the folder inside the SWF

during runtime.
Kind regards,

Shared objects are stored locally on the computer running the SWF. They can be
thought of as Flash cookies.

So, how do I know which file is the line above pointing to?
The real question is - why should you care where the file is saved? It
makes no difference to the application. You should never need to mess
with the actual file, just interact with the shared object. Google
flash shared objects.

Pardon my lack of understanding but this is the first time I

Although I still cannot fathom how the SharedObject is retained even

SharedObject is a file on the computer and retains it's content after
the application is shut down, or recompiled, or the computer turned off!
Look in StateManager. as - the shared object is there..

[flexcoders] Flex 3 4 Compatibility
Hi Flexcoders, I have somewhat a non-technical question and these question is actually raised on those who have a lot of experience in development with Flex. I have been dabbling a lot with Flex 3.4 (using Command Line Compiler and FlexBuilder) and there is one project which I am currently working on. My problem pertains to whether to use the 3.4 SDK or the (unreleased?) 4.0 SDK? I already feel quite comfortable using the 3.4 SDK and has been able to develop some small apps which are rich in functionality, reliable and downright easy to code and understand. I like to explore the SDK 4 but I feel that it might be another learning curve for me, especially knowing some additional controls have been added which Adobe (and other flex blogs and sites) have been using already. Will the current codes which I develop in Flex 3.4 be compilable using the SDK 4? Which problem(s) if any should I be aware while I hold moving from 3.4 to 4.0? Thanks a lot for the advice. Regards, Angelo
[flexcoders] When does myArrayCollection.setItemAt() get invoked in the component lifecycle?
If I had a ui component and on init() I did myArrayCollection.setItemAt(value, position) - when would the visual component bound to the arraycollection get updated? Is it immedietly when the function is called, or is it automatically deferred to updateDisplayList()? Basically, should I implement the invalidateProperties() / commitProprties() strategy when using setItemAt() on an Arraycollection or is this automatically handled? Cheers, Baz

[flexcoders] Weird DataGrid custom item renderer behavior
Hi all,
A while ago I wrote (in ActionScript 3) a custom item renderer for a DataGrid
very similar to the mxml version below.
It basically has a HBox with a icon and a label to its left on the first
column, and I wanted to wrapped the text around as users resize the column. I
was/am using variable row
height so the row height could change when the label text wraps.
It almost worked, just like the example below. Try resizing the column just a
few pixels, or just scroll up and down and you'll see that sometimes the text
gets truncated and sometimes it wraps nicely.
I was never able to find the source of the problem and fix the bug
(I'm still new to custom item renderers so I probably missed something).
Or is this a bug? I'm using Flex 3 (3.0.0.477)
Thanks in advance,
Pedro Proenca

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Training Courses
I'm an Adobe Certified Instructor and I can tell you that the instructor makes all of the difference. I'm not sure where you took your class but my former employer Fig Leaf Software is one of the best providers of onsite and hands-on training. I think self paced training is good, but it lacks the interaction with an instructor. If you can afford training I suggest something like lynda.com to augment the class. You should read and watch videos so you can challenge your instructor...

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Training Courses
Okay some good advise here. Speaking about my own level rather then the others I think I'm pretty competitent, although its hard to be objective about oneself. I've created a few item renderers. I'm pretty happy diving into the framework to try to find more information. Sure I'm not graphic designer but then again thats not my job. So I guess thats an intermediate level?

RE: [flexcoders] Resources for compiling with asc.jar
I don't really know much about using asc directly... I've never had any reason to use it. Regardless of whether I'm compiling MXML or AS, I use mxmlc. I suppose asc might be faster for special uses, but it is less flexible; it doesn't understand MXML, and I'm pretty sure that it requires all of your AS to be in a single file, not multiple files that import each other. So my question is, why is your project using asc? - Gordon From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of dorkie dork from dorktown Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 9:36 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Resources for compiling with asc.jar Oh.

[flexcoders] Re: Custom PopUp not resizing.
Thanks, Alex. The issue was setting width and height so my override measure
was never getting called. And I had a couple of component referencing/bound
{this.width} and {this.height} caused some kind of infinite loop or something?
Set all to minWidth and minHeight all works now.

Subject: [flexcoders] Custom PopUp not resizing.
I have a custom popup based on mx:Box. In it I have a dropdown. In this
list dropdown you can select multiple items that once items are selected
they stay in the dropdowns selected box (think multiselect combobo box). My
custom pop has a width and height set to 300 by 300;
Anyway, when I select several items the pop (not the dropdownlist) starts
adding scrollbars when there are to many. If I set the
horizontalscrollpolicy and verticallscrollpolicy to off then the pop start
moving out of what looks like the popups viewablearea/scrollRect?
So as the selecteditems in my dropdown gets longer the top of the popup
start disappearing?
Does the popupmanager need to know to increase its viewable area for the
popup? Or is it possible to have a popup increase in size?
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Training Courses
Well training and books are meant for beginners and intermediate users. As you get more advanced its harder to taylor training classes and books to the specific needs of advanced developers. Someone who is a beginner or intermediate typically wants to learn on a very broad topic. Advanced and upper intermediate folks have very very specific things they want to learn (i.e. Programatic Skins)... That said the Certified Adobe classes are very good. The two main classes are great for newbie to intermediate. The styling class is one of my favorite to teach and delves into more complex topics for advanced and intermediate users. All that said if you look through the outlines and you know everything in the material you probably won't get a ton from hands-on training unless you have a great instructor who knows his stuff Hope this helps...

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Custom PopUp not resizing.
Yeah, if you don't get that right then the parent gets width=200 so the child
gets width=200 then the parent measures at 202 because of a border or something
so it gets width at 202 so the child gets width=202 and the parent now measures
at 204...
