RE: [flexcoders] change sort arrow position in a datagrid header

[Alex Harui]

I think I'd set the sortArrowSkin to an empty object and just draw it myself in 
a custom header renderer.

hello,

i need to move the sort arrow from the right side of the header to the left

overriding the code that does the drawing? can someone please point me in the 
right direction?

So I am using

bytearray.writeObject(myArray);

var blah:Array = bytearray.readObject();

Blah comes back with two Objects but not someObjectOfTypeObject they come back 
with generic "Objects" and no data inside?

Anyone have a clue on this? someObjectOfTypeObject and 
someOtherObjectOfTypeObject are of a special type of Class in my app so
someOtherObjectOfTypeObject:FooClass.

Why doesn't it put them back as the correct type?

Something sound wrong.  Remember that renderers are recycled so make sure 
positions are completely derived from the data object.

Subject: [flexcoders] CallLater() inside UpdateDisplayList



Hi,

Quick question. I optimized an item renderer that was previously using a really 
heavy grid to layout a bunch of labels. Now, I use the move() method in the 
updateDisplayList(). of the renderer to move the labels instead.

It works great, except for some reason when the next page is accessed(multiple 
pages of search results...)the updateDisplayList() doesnt lay the fields out 
properly. I tried calling invalidateDisplayList() again after the measuring, 
but still didn't work. I don't want to do any binding because of performance 
overhead.

The only thing that works is to actually take the move() methods out of the 
updateDisplayList() and put them into another method, and then use CallLater() 
in updateDisplayList() to actually call that method. This works great. I just 
feel like it is kinda sloppy. Is there something I'm missing here?

[flexcoders] Re: Disable sort when values in grid change (on propertyChanged)

[tntomek]

So my final solution to this problem is to copy ArrayCollection and 
ListCollectionView and rebrand those as my own and update the private 
handlePropertyChangeEvents method. Fortunately all interfaces seem to be 
consistently implemented and my ADG behaves likes before. Added this: 
enablePostSortReorder

private function handlePropertyChangeEvents(events:Array):void
{
   var eventItems:Array = events;

   if (sort && enablePostSortReorder || filterFunction != null)

RE: [flexcoders] Datagrid measureHeightOfItems wrong - DG harbors items that shouldn't be there

[Alex Harui]

Renderers are recycled and kept on the display list with visible=false.  I 
don't know of any bugs related to that.  Older versions of flex had some bugs 
around measureHeightOfItems.  There might still be bugs but make sure you're on 
the latest.

Most commonly, custom renderers don't handle recycling and do not measure 
correctly, throwing off the result of measureHeightOfItems.

If you have a simple test case, post it or file a bug.

Subject: [flexcoders] Datagrid measureHeightOfItems wrong - DG harbors items 
that shouldn't be there



Sorry for the gravity of the accusation - I could be entirely wrong and 
hopefully this post will flesh out the truth. I'm not sure if what I've found 
is a clue in the answer to getting this measurement accurately or simply normal 
and needed functionality of the DataGrid I just don't understand.

Scenario - 2 DataGrids that have drag/drop turned on where users move items 
between the two at random. Items are currently identical in height in both 
DataGrids.

I've tried DataGrid.measureHeightOfItems() - relatively accurate but returned 
value is random and quirky in relation to what's visually there.

I've tried various functions people have kindly written and posted using 
variations on the measureHeightOfItems() theme, thank you all.

I've learned about the viewMetrics object that should be taken into account. In 
my case the bottom and top values were both 1 - wasn't the missing item, but 
rolled it in the calculations for future use.

None of those have been giving me accurate math for dynamic height assignment 
to an ever changing DataGrid.dataProvider.

What I've resorted through is picking apart the DataGrid object and tracing out 
what children actually are there and have found something very very odd.

I dug into the Datagrid like so:
DataGrid.getChildAt(2);
gave me: categoryContainer.questionList.ListBaseContentHolderXXX

Inside there I find my Label objects that contain my text and thus a visual 
representation of the dataProvider (mostly)? Sure seems like it.

When moving Items to/from the DataGrid and reordering I found something 
peculiar - the old items were plucked (correctly) off the dataProvider, but 
were still in the DataGrid with a visibility of false and an includeInLayout of 
true and register's a height measurement.

If my DataGrid.dataProvider.length were say 3 - I should have 3 items in the 
DataGrid.
However, I'd find an extra one or two max that weren't supposed to be there - 
thus 4 or 5.

A few times I noticed a random bug of an empty datagrid item randomly show up 
as a byproduct of drag/drops in and out. I'm guessing it has something to do 
with this. I'm not handling the data swaps from DataGrid to DataGrid - flex's 
built in drag/drop class is - so I'm pretty sure I don't have AScript passing a 
random empty exception in.

Sure seems like this is the culprit, but I could be wrong.

I tried turning off the includeInLayout of these freeloaders - to no avail.

What gave me an initial (but later fleeting) score was to call removeChild() on 
them.

I have two instances of these containers of which I drag items to/from and 
after a few drag/drops the math falls apart again.

What do you actually intend to render? The ADG itself has attributes for
GroupItemRenderer, GroupIconFunction and GroupLabelFunction. One of those
ought to handle what you need.

[flexcoders] Re: Using Flex and Vb.Net

[Tracy]

The most common architecture is to do as you say and use Flex for the UI and 
.net for the logic/integration tier.  You can alss use asp.net to host, deliver 
and control swfs, and you can even host a Flex app in a browser control.

You develop Flex apps by writing mxml and as code and compiling it into a SWF, 
and you don't do any of that with dot.net.  I think you know that but needed to 
be sure.

Certainly the simplest integration (on both ends) is to use HTTPService.  You 
can get a "hello world" level example working in the time you can download an 
install WebOrb.  This puts you in full control of the xml.

WebService, because it wraps data in SOAP to facilitate third party usage, is a 
bit more complicated to work with.  Use WebService if there is any chance you 
will need to make the buisiness logic available to an anonymous third party.

Use WebOrb or someting like it if your business tier object structure is also 
suitable for your client side object structure, or if you can and want to make 
it that way.  It will be more complicated initially, but could be a good long 
term choice.  It is also probably the fastest transport protocol, but data 
transport is often not the bottleneck in a Fles app.

[flexcoders] AdvancedDataGrid Grouping: itemRenderer for parent

[powers]

I have an advanced data grid with a dataprovider with a grouped collection. 
The default of the ADG is to display a folder icon, along with whatever text
is contained in the datafield, as the parent element.  All the children are
displayed with the paper icon and the text that is displayed in the
datafield.  I want to display a custom component as the parent AND another
custom component as the child.  Setting the itemRenderer property on the
column will solve my problem for displaying a custom component for the
child.  How can I use a itemRenderer for the parent?

[flexcoders] Scalability Blazeds | 3000 messages | 1 Sec

[ilikeflex]

Hi
 
I am using Blazeds-3.2.0.3978 amd Weblogic 10.0.0.1. I have the session timeout 
for 5 minutes.
 
Below is channel definition i am using

 
http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amfpolling";
 class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
 

true
1





I have declared destination as





 12





Generally 10-15 users uses the system simultaneously. The server side code 
sends approx 3000 messages in one second on the destination. Everthing works 
fine but some time the client misses few messages. It happens sometimes. It is 
difficult to reproduce also. But any client cannot afford to loose message. I 
can send you the conference files for your reference.Any blaze expert can 
provide any pointer???

Thanks

I am trying to figure out how to do a 'per-item' fill for OHLC Style Chart for 
color of stroke for bar to be green when Close is greater than Open and Red for 
vice versa.  The FillFunction is not support for OHLC Charts and I have tried 
to create my own but it displays only the color for the last bar for all of 
them, not per item...

All I know is that you will actually save time by doing the hand coding. Maybe 
some day we'll have an answer but that day is not today.

As a work-around, you can always just create another state that
explicitely sets the styleName back to the original.

[flexcoders] SharedObject problem/bug? Cannot store a subclass of ByteArray.

[Geoffrey]

Hi,

I have a subclass of ByteArray (let's call it ByteArrayPlus), which I want to 
write to a SharedObject. I can store it fine, but when I read it back, it says 
it's of type ByteArray, not ByteArrayPlus. Does anyone have an idea what may be 
wrong? Has anyone gotten this to work?

FYI, I am already using registerClassAlias(). And it works fine with a custom 
class, and with a custom class extending another custom class. I also tried 
implementing IExternalizable, but that did not help. I also tried [RemoteClass] 
and [RemoteClass(alias="ByteArrayPlus")].

Also, ByteArrayPlus is really simple: I only added a String (name) to it.

This is my first post to FlexCoders. 

Any help appreciated.

RE: [flexcoders] Keep an object in flash player memory despit swf unloading?

[Battershall, Jeff]

What problem are you trying to solve?  In order to save state you're going to 
need some kind of persistent scope.  If Shared Object can't be used, something 
else needs to be a repository for your state information.

What do yo mean by several ways and "you don't really develop flex apps with 
vb.net"

My company develop web apps using Asp.net/vb.net. I just joined and i use flex 
and coldfusion, but since i cant introduce CF. I intend to still leverage flex 
with vb.net.

For instance.. i need to work on an asp.net that can generate an excel data 
from db using vb.net.

I would like to use flex for the UI and vb.net for the logic.

I have a basic knowlegde of vb.net so i am sure to be fine.

Any tip or help?

[flexcoders] How to catch IOErrorEvent's from setting Text.htmlText with broken links

[Greg Hess]

Hi All,

I am setting the Text.htmlText property with some HTML I get from
reading an RSS feed. All was working well until recently I started
getting ActiionScript errors reporting:

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.

In debugging this I could never catch this error in the debugger or
even get a stack trace, however, I eventually found that it was caused
by setting the Text.htmlText property with some HTML that referenced a
dead image link.

I would like to suppress the error but am unable to figure out how to
catch it, I tried listening to the IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR on the Text
compoenent and the parent module with no success. Does anyone know how
I can catch and suppress this error.

Any help much appreciated,

Greg

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Soap Version Mismatch

[Joshua]

Thanks for the advice Steve.  So to do that I'm gonna need to 'hand-code' all 
the calls from Flex to php and then do the same with php, creating all the 
methods by hand from the wsdl?  Isn't there a simpler way to do it using the 
Flex wsdl wizard and a php proxy that just passes through the soap request?  
And either way I do it I still want to know why the way I'm attempting to do it 
won't work.  Why does going through php change my soap envelop and create a 
mismatch I guess is the big question??

[flexcoders] Re: TextArea and new line problems (with PHP and MySQL)

[valdhor]

My suggestion would be to grab a copy of Charles (http://www.charlesproxy.com) 
and take a look at exactly what Flex is sending.

Next, if Flex is sending the carriage returns properly, create some code in PHP 
(eg. file write) to output what PHP is seeing from your middleware (I use 
WebORB and carriage returns come through fine).

Then do the same with MySQL etc. It shouldn't take too long to figure out where 
the problem is.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Soap Version Mismatch

[valdhor]

I think you may be over thinking this.

I have the same situation as you - a local PHP server and a remote Web Service.

I tried for a long time to get it working by proxying through PHP like what you 
are trying. I could never get it to work.

Instead, I created a SOAP Client in PHP that could talk to the Web Service. 
Once this was working I used WebORB to create a service to talk to Flex. Then I 
merged the code. Now I have Flex sending and receiving objects via WebORB and 
PHP exchanging data via SOAP. The best of both worlds.

Don't quote me on this, but that rings a bell. I do believe that is in the

Your best bet may be to listen for the change event and then set the style in

[flexcoders] Associative Array and Custom Renderer for TileList

[anuppc]

Hi,

I have an Associative Array as the dataprovider of a TileList.
The associative array has this kind of data:

var foodPrices:Object = new Object();
foodPrices["meat"] = "5.00";
foodPrices["fish"] = "7.00";
foodPrices["juice"] = "1.00";

How do i create a custom renderer for the TileList which displays the Keys : 
meat, fish, juice tc... with different color codes

If price is > 4.00 then display the item in Red
if price is < 4.00 then display the item in Black

Any suggestions??
Thanks

You want to serialize it..

bytearray.writeObject() writes it to an AMF serialized object.

[flexcoders] Datagrid measureHeightOfItems wrong - DG harbors items that shouldn't be there

[atomilux]

Sorry for the gravity of the accusation - I could be entirely wrong and 
hopefully this post will flesh out the truth. I'm not sure if what I've found 
is a clue in the answer to getting this measurement accurately or simply normal 
and needed functionality of the DataGrid I just don't understand.

Scenario - 2 DataGrids that have drag/drop turned on where users move items 
between the two at random. Items are currently identical in height in both 
DataGrids.

I've tried DataGrid.measureHeightOfItems() - relatively accurate but returned 
value is random and quirky in relation to what's visually there.

I've tried various functions people have kindly written and posted using 
variations on the measureHeightOfItems() theme, thank you all.

I've learned about the viewMetrics object that should be taken into account. In 
my case the bottom and top values were both 1 - wasn't the missing item, but 
rolled it in the calculations for future use.

None of those have been giving me accurate math for dynamic height assignment 
to an ever changing DataGrid.dataProvider.

What I've resorted through is picking apart the DataGrid object and tracing out 
what children actually are there and have found something very very odd.

I dug into the Datagrid like so:
DataGrid.getChildAt(2);
gave me: categoryContainer.questionList.ListBaseContentHolderXXX

Inside there I find my Label objects that contain my text and thus a visual 
representation of the dataProvider (mostly)? Sure seems like it.

When moving Items to/from the DataGrid and reordering I found something 
peculiar - the old items were plucked (correctly) off the dataProvider, but 
were still in the DataGrid with a visibility of false and an includeInLayout of 
true and register's a height measurement.

If my DataGrid.dataProvider.length were say 3 - I should have 3 items in the 
DataGrid.
However, I'd find an extra one or two max that weren't supposed to be there - 
thus 4 or 5.

A few times I noticed a random bug of an empty datagrid item randomly show up 
as a byproduct of drag/drops in and out. I'm guessing it has something to do 
with this. I'm not handling the data swaps from DataGrid to DataGrid - flex's 
built in drag/drop class is - so I'm pretty sure I don't have AScript passing a 
random empty exception in.

Sure seems like this is the culprit, but I could be wrong.

I tried turning off the includeInLayout of these freeloaders - to no avail.

What gave me an initial (but later fleeting) score was to call removeChild() on 
them.

I have two instances of these containers of which I drag items to/from and 
after a few drag/drops the math falls apart again.

RE: [flexcoders] Binding & Model Objects

[Gregor Kiddie]

If you can't change the DTO in anyway you might be out of luck. There's
a couple of hacky techniques that could help if you can change the
DTO...

 

You might be able to get away with making the bindable properties
transient, so that AMF doesn't try to get / set them during
(de)serialization, and a separate set of non-bindable properties which
are used for setting up the object, both of which point to the same
private variable internally. You'd need to find some way of triggering
the binding update event once the object had been deserialized into an
AS3 object, and this is a really horrible hack...

 

Something like

 

public class Foo extends EventDispatcher {

private var _bar : String;



[transient]

[Bindable("fooChanged")]

public function get bar() : String {

return _bar;

}



public function set nbBar( nbBar : String ) : void {

_bar = nbBar;

}



public function get nbBar() : String {

return _bar;

}



public function dispatchChangeEvent() : void {

dispatchEvent( new Event( "fooChanged" ) );

}

}

 

That's really horrible though...

This is consistent with the way I've done things. In my case conversion
was necessitated by needing a "dirty" flag on each record, but I also
like it philosophically.

However, in another portion of the application that I don't own, there
is a large DTO displayed in a table (with user-configurable columns),
and I don't think we can pay the price of conversion without also
implementing pagination/lazy loading.
