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

[Geoffrey]

Hi Alex,

Fair enough. I submitted it (I think), although I got this message:

"You have successfully created the issue (FB-23715), however you do not have 
the permission to view the created issue.

This is probably because you entered a bug report that details a potential 
security vulnerability - or is related to a non-public component in a 
commercial product."

I do not feel experienced enough to know which categories to submit the bug 
under, but I included source code to reproduce the bug.

Alex, thank you for your continual help to the community.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: bytearray.readObject doesn't convert my objects back

[Alex Harui]

To handle classes like transform, I would come up with a custom encoding for 
the transform (or skip it entirely as the transform can usually be derived from 
other properties like scale, x, y, width, height, rotation).  I didn't know you 
were trying to serialize display objects.  Generally that's not advisable as 
there is a lot of redundancy and circular references in the properties.  It is 
better to save away the data they present and some notion of which class to use 
to present the data.

Alex, first thanks for spending so much time helping me with this.

How do I handle all the rest? Flex specific classes? Should I monkey patch? See 
error below my custom object needs to have all this serialized and 
dematerialized as well.:

ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on flash.geom::Transform(). 
Expected 1, got 0.

[flexcoders] how may I store values to function's arguments? REFdn7045338143

[dennis]

Some times, the one result of a function is not enough, cay we use the
arguments to get back values from them?

 

internal function getXY(x:int,y:int):void{

  x=10;y=20;

}

 

internal function test():void{

  var x:int; var y:int;

  getXY(x,y);

  trace("x: "+x.toString()+" y: "+y.toString());  // here I get "x: 0 y: 0",
I want to get "x: 10 y: 20"

}

 

For instance, in c the getXY should be like this:

 

internal function getXY(int* x, int* y):void{

  x=10;y=20;

}

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Soap Version Mismatch

I'm still running naked, but am getting a better grip on this stuff.

But here was my break, NOT!!

The company was nice enough to put me on their crossdomain file.  So, I'm 
thinking good, but I was wrong.  I still get a security violation


FaultEvent fault=[RPC Fault faultString="Security error accessing url" 
faultCode="Channel.Security.Error" faultDetail="Destination: DefaultHTTPS"] 
messageId=null type="fault" bubbles=true cancelable=true eventPhase=2


What is up with that.  I thought that the cross-domain file would handle that.  
Here is the cross domain file on the root of the wsdl service




http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd";>





I am at https://www.shipnotic.com and am accessing a wsdl at https:// at well.


anybody know why this is still happening with crossdomain support?

Hi Sean,

Thank you for the link; still no luck. I had tried implementing IExternalizable 
before, but after reading your article I decided to try again. I have figured 
out a little more:

--I can extend, say, a Sprite, and it works fine.
--When I save the SharedObject, if I use the Sprite-based class, there are two 
calls to writeExternal(). But for the ByteArray-based class, there is no call 
to writeExternal().
--When I load the SO, the constructor for the Sprite-based class gets called. 
The constructor for the ByteArray-based class does not get called.

I suspect that Adobe's serialization/deserialization code has something that 
checks for type ByteArray (e.g., if (x is ByteArray)). On the write-side, it 
would then call something like writeBytes(), and only call writeExternal() if 
not a ByteArray. On the read-side, it may do something similar when type 
casting.

At this point, I will probably try a workaround for my situation. (E.g., 
encapsulating the ByteArray) But if anyone gets this to work, I would be 
interested to know.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: bytearray.readObject doesn't convert my objects back

[Alex Harui]

Serialization requires that the constructor handle zero parameters.  So just 
try:

public function DataList(name:String = null)

I don't think so. Its just that it isn't just a generic simple Object or Array 
but rather a large Class file which contains other large class files.

So imagine saving something like your entire displaylist, but not the visual 
just the data behind it.

The object I am saving cotains over 100 over objects and these 100 objects 
contains a handful of objects.

[flexcoders] Allow popup windows

Hello, 

Is it possible to setup the option : allow popup window in the navigator from a 
flex application ? 

Thank you,

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

[Geoffrey]

Hi Sean,

Thank you for the link; still no luck. I had tried implementing IExternalizable 
before, but after reading your article I decided to try again. I have figured 
out a little more:

--I can extend, say, a Sprite, and it works fine.
--When I save the SharedObject, if I use the Sprite-based class, there are two 
calls to writeExternal(). But for the ByteArray-based class, there is no call 
to writeExternal().
--When I load the SO, the constructor for the Sprite-based class gets called. 
The constructor for the ByteArray-based class does not get called.

I suspect that Adobe's serialization/deserialization code has something that 
checks for type ByteArray (e.g., if (x is ByteArray)). On the write-side, it 
would then call something like writeBytes(), and only call writeExternal() if 
not a ByteArray. On the read-side, it may do something similar when type

At this point, I will probably try a workaround for my situation. (E.g., 
encapsulating the ByteArray) But if anyone gets this to work, I would be

RE: [flexcoders] how can I parse this Srting in Flex

[Gordon Smith]

I would use String's split() method to split your string on the | character 
into the Array [ "Label1", "url1", "label2Explorer", "url2", "Label3", "url3" 
]. Then you can use a for-loop to walk through this 6-element array and create 
a new 3-element array by combinding elements 0/1, 2/3, and 4/5.

But if the six elements in the string are grouped into three pairs of two, then 
it would obviously be less work if it were stored as

Label1|url1||label2Explorer|url2||label3|url3

You could then simply split it on ||.

[flexcoders] Re: bytearray.readObject doesn't convert my objects back

Do you think the class being dynamic is causing this issue?  I ask because I 
have a similar problem with a dynamic class that extends Dictionary.  It works 
fine in Flash Player 9.0.28 but not in 10.

[flexcoders] Re: bytearray.readObject doesn't convert my objects back

[flexaustin]

Alex, what else can I try?  I have tried implementing IExternalizable in every 
class and it doesn't seem to work, I think I might be close as one class is 
causing me issue "Datalist". When I implement IExternalizable and flex starts 
decoding the bytearray it throws an error on "Datalist" constructor. It 
expecting one arguement in the constructor Datalist(name:String) and I guess 
Flex isn't passing it the arguement.

[flexcoders] [Resolved] Re: AIR Ant Build Script

Found a few resources on this:

1) http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404341.html
2) 
http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache:w_Jda-ZeRfUJ:www.morearty.com/blog/2009/01/23/how-to-capture-the-compilation-options-used-by-flex-builder/+flex+builder+release+build+options&cd=7&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=safari

What I ended up doing was dumping the config xml from Flex Builder and from Ant 
and noticed that the difference was that FB targeted Flash Player 9.0.28 while 
Ant targeted 10.  Switching Ant to target 9.0.28 resolved the issue.  Of course 
this raises the issue: why does this work in 9.x but not 10.

Yeah, I think that's because Proxy is an odd beast.  It is dynamic and can have 
"any" property and you're responsible for implementing all those methods that

[flexcoders] ItemRenderer for HOLC Chart Series Item

[cjsteury2]

Okay... i have finally figured out how to write a custom itemrenderer for HOLC 
Chart Series Item... And the secret is posted below (about 99% of the way)... 
can anyone PLEASE tell me how to render the Open and Close Tick marks 
correctly??  Using this code they are a little off...

I have tried to get the DrawRect() function a million diff ways but do not know 
what is throwing it off...

package com.steury.controls.orders   { // empty package.

import flash.display.Graphics;
import mx.charts.series.items.HLOCSeriesItem;
import mx.core.IDataRenderer;
import mx.skins.ProgrammaticSkin;

public class ChartColorRenderer extends mx.skins.ProgrammaticSkin
implements IDataRenderer{

private var color:Number;
private var green:Number = 0x00ff00;
private var red:Number = 0xfe;
private var _hlocItem:HLOCSeriesItem;
private var open:Number;
private var close:Number;

public function ChartColorRenderer() {
// Empty constructor.
}
public function get data():Object {
return _hlocItem;
}

public function set data(value:Object):void {
_hlocItem = value as HLOCSeriesItem
invalidateDisplayList();
open=_hlocItem.openFilter;
close=_hlocItem.closeFilter;
}

override protected function

updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,unscaledHeight:Number):void {
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, 
unscaledHeight);
if (open > close) color = red;
if (open < close) color = green;
var g:Graphics = graphics;
g.clear();
g.beginFill(color,1);
g.drawRect(0, 0, unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
g.endFill();
g.beginFill(color,1);
g.drawRect(open,0,10,1);
g.endFill();
g.beginFill(color,1);
g.drawRect(0,close,10,1);
g.endFill();
}
} // Close class.
} // Close package.

Re: [flexcoders] how can I parse this Srting in Flex

[thomas parquier]

You can use split and access elements in result array with i and i+1, using
a for loop with step of 2.

[flexcoders] Issue in setting flex app in load balanced environment using SSL

[abhgup]

I have developed the dashboard in my application using flex 3.0. For this I
have used JSP wrapper around the flex application. My application runs on
JBoss application server. for communication between flex app and my
application i am using LCDS. HTTPService component is being used to receive
data from the server. Channel definitions are given in service-config.xml
for amf and http channels and for both secure secure and not secure mode. In
my proxy-config.xml i have defined Channels and destinations.

 

services-config.xml

...
...


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

  false




https://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amfsecure";
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.SecureAMFEndpoint"/>

  false




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



https://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/httpsecure";
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.SecureHTTPEndpoint"/>

false




...
...

 

proxy-config.xml

 

...
...








...
...



/kr/servlet/DashboardServlet





/kr/krportal/dashboardJSPService.jsf



 

...

...

 

In my development environment both secure and non secure mode were working
fine. Now when I have deployed it behind the load balancer(which accepts
secure requests only and if the request is not secure it redirects it to
secure url) there is no response from the message broker servlet. One thing
more I have observed is when the environment is non load balanced there are
request like
'http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/http'. and
these requests are post request. But in load balanced environment with ssl
the request is again like
'http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/http' which
is a post request and it is redirected to
'https://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/http'
which is a get request. The content returned by this get request is null.

 

Looking for some comments

 

Thanks

[flexcoders] Flex application vertical size problem

[radu.groza]

Hello,

I have a Flex app embedded like this: body tag, then a div tag with
min-height: 600px, min-width: 800px; and overflow: auto; the application tag
from flex: 

http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"
xmlns:views="com.views.*" 
backgroundColor="#00" backgroundAlpha="1" pageTitle="Flex app" 
applicationComplete="init()"
currentState=" http://old.nabble.com/file/p26126480/screenshot.gif
screenshot.gif ageCheckState" xmlns:ns1="com.*" xmlns:local="*"
verticalScrollPolicy="on" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" 
clipContent="false" 
minWidth="800" minHeight="600">
Note: I've tried with both horizontalScrollPolicy and verticalScrollPolicy
on and auto and clipContent both true and false
The problem is that if I resize the browser vertically a scrollbar appears
indeed (the one from the div) but a strange thing happens: the content is
sort of clipped to the size of the browser window (attaching screenshot -
you can see it action here: http://www.duboeuf.com/).
Horizontally, everything is ok.
Please help.
Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: Flexbuilder doesn't give compile error when using a undeclared variable, methods

[benjamine_df]

I wanted to clarify more on my other response.

As Amy referred this does not happen to Dictionary object alone. create an 
instance of any object , then call a non existing method and you won't get 
compile time errors.

Example
var data:Array = new Array()
data.xyz() //xyz method does not exist in Array, but still no compile time 
errors.

Without compile time errors, when things don't work in run time, it wastes lot 
of my time to find the problem.

Any help from Flex gurus are appreciated.

Thanks
Ben

[flexcoders] Is anyone building multi-user apps/games in Flex?

[Simon]

...and if yes, what protocol are you using for communication between clients?  

Traditional wisdom for this scenario is UDP, but the Flex socket classes don't 
seem to support it.  

[flexcoders] Re: UDP via Flex socket

[Simon]

The sample code in the Adobe Docs sends a GET which I think makes it HTTP.  As 
far as I can tell the binary socket doesn't support UDP.  Somewhere in the 
internals it must be presuming TCP or HTTP - or maybe RTMP.  Anyway, it looks 
like my suspicions were right.  I'll ask another question about what protocol 
Flex developers are using to communicate between clients for multi-player games.

[flexcoders] AIR Ant Build Script

[seanmcmonahan]

So I posted a question about Ant build scripts for AIR a few weeks ago and got 
some great answers, so here's another one.

I have an Ant build script that I'm using to build my AIR project.  It builds 
everything and packages the application just fine.  The app runs with no 
noticeable problems until you try to do any serialization with a class we have: 
ElasticDictionary.  This class merely extends flash.utils.Dictionary with some 
convenience methods (like length() -- code is below).  

I have the [RemoteObject] metadata and this works flawlessly when the project 
is run from the Flex Builder debugger.  It also works perfectly when the 
release build is exported via the Flex Builder Export Release Build... dialog.

So my question is: what am I missing in my Ant build script that Flex Builder 
does for me?  The class, ElasticDictionary, is in the project's src folder and 
I'm using the 3.4 SDK.

Relevant (at least what I *think* is relevant) code below.  Thanks in advance 
for your help!

Ant Build Script:






















SDK_HOME refers to the location of the Flex 3.4 SDK.  LIBS_DIR points to the 
project's SWC's.  LOC_DIR to localization files; PROP_DIR to properties 
(.properties) files. 

---

The ElasticDictionary class: 

/**
* Used instead of ordinary dictionaries so that their data type can be 
preserved when saving in a serailized format 
*/
package com.project.utils {

import flash.utils.Dictionary;

[Bindable]
[RemoteClass]
public dynamic class ElasticDictionary extends Dictionary {

public function ElasticDictionary(weakKeys:Boolean=false) {
super(weakKeys);
}


public function get length():uint {
return getKeys().length;
}

public function getKeys():Array {
var keys:Array = new Array();
for(var key:Object in this) {
keys.push(key);
}
return keys;
}

public function getValues():Array {
var values:Array = new Array();
for(var key:Object in this) {
values.push(this[key]);
}
return values;
}

}
}

Re: [Spam] [flexcoders] addEventListner help

[Nick Middleweek]

Hi,

As far as i'm aware the event is fired, which in turn calls a function that
is set using button.addEventListener(MOUSE.CLICK, myClickHandler)


So when the CLICK event fires on the button object it invokes
"myClickHandler" pasing it an event object.


if you want to call another function at the end of the myClickHandler, I
guess you cuold just call it at the bottom of that function.

For god's sake. it works =) ! The button hasn't (at all) width and height!

 

What is the difference between the 

  addChild(buttonFromMainClass);

and 

  Application(Application.application).addChild(buttonFromMainClass);

In the adding process??? Does any body knows?

 

Thanks Amy anyway!!!

[flexcoders] Re: Flexbuilder doesn't give compile error when using a undeclared variable, methods

[benjamine_df]

Compile time we don't need to check for data, we only need to check 
for declared variable, method class etc. So I am in favour for what 
java is doing. It will help to catch the errors during compile time

I think flex allows this because of associative arrays.
var data:object = new Object();

new data.length means data['length'] 

Is there any way I can tell flex compiler that don't assume objects as 
associative array unless I specifically declare as Array.

Because HTTP service is expecting to handle the response. You want the

[flexcoders] FLVPlayback component - preview image

[lanekelly5]

After getting frustrated with the lack of functionality of the preview property 
of the FLVPlayback component at runtime (apparently you can't assign it a path 
to a PNG and have it work like expected), I was wondering if anyone had 
extended the class to add that feature in.  I'm using the FLVPlayback_2.5.swc 
component that Adobe provides.

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

[Battershall, Jeff]

Then I don't know what to recommend.  You have to have some place to store the 
data.  The swf is compiled so if you're not going to use it's only persistence 
mechanism, and you can't store the data elsewhere, thensounds like a waste 
of time and effort.

We have a swf file that runs into a specific software.
This software load and unload the swf file when its required and we need to

Is there a way to keep an actionscript object in Flash Player memory even when

And no, SharedObject is not an option :)

I know is nearly impossible but I also know that I don't know everything :D

[flexcoders] Re: Embedded Jetty6 or 7 server

[jgamacheteam345]

Hi Folks,

Sorry to reply to such an old thread, but I need some help!  I downloaded this 
quickstart and am trying to get the Start.java to run IN ECLIPSE.   I seem to 
be hopelessly stuck and would appreciate a "step by step" (yes, for idiots!) if 
anyone has such running.

I am using jetty 6 as that is what this code base uses.  Basically, what I did 
was to run "mvn eclipse:eclipse" successfully, then I imported the project into 
eclipse.  I have the Maven plugin installed in eclipse, so I enabled dependency 
management on the project.  I changed the two local references (to Ryan's 
harddrive) to mine.  When I run Start.java from within eclipse I get no errors, 
the page comes up on localhost:8080.  However, I can not get to the java code!

Any help is greatly appreciated - I am now at that "very frustrated" point!

thanks,

Joe

RE: [flexcoders] Re: bytearray.readObject doesn't convert my objects back

[Alex Harui]

The alias shouldn't really matter since you are writing the stream and reading 
it.  The alias matters when a server is sending data with those types in it.

I think because your class is based on Proxy, you may have to implement 
IExternalizable in order to get this to work.

This is what I have assuming I use the lib directory structure and not my app 
structure?

[RemoteClass(alias="flare.vis.data.DataList")]
public class DataList extends Proxy implements IEventDispatcher

The actual directory structure is(notice src):
[RemoteClass(alias="src.flare.vis.data.DataList")]
public class DataList extends Proxy implements IEventDispatcher

This didn't work. I tried going in and creating getters and setters for all 
protected and private properties which got some of the data back, but not all 
of it.
