[flexcoders] Re: Nested PopUp and Mouse_Down_Outside event
Thank you for the suggestion. I looked at the event class and it would be quite tedious just to trap the mouse down event because of the need to traverse the owner chain. what I need to do is just to stop the mouse down event from bubbling up the chain.

I have a panel instance that is contextual and will be shown by the popupmanager when the user clicks on a button. To facilitate auto hiding when the user clicks outside the panel, I'm using the FlexMouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE to trap the event and close the popup. I have a custom component inside this panel that uses a pop up similar to the date field. The custom component utilizes a class that extends UIComponent which acts as a popup to select an input value that will fill in to a textbox. The principle of operation is totally similar to that of the datefield. Unfortunately, this custom component has a few combo boxes inside. The main problem happens because of the listening of the MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE event in the parent panel. I am able to stop the event from happening by preventing the mousedown events from the inner popup from bubbling up the display chain. The only thing I am unable to deal with is the bubbling up of the event when the user clicks the combobox dropdown which is the list item. From my understanding, it is handled by a separate popupmanager hence the event is not bubbled up the panel display chain. Is there any solution or any way around this? If not I'll have to switch the combo boxes with some other components, which I would like to avoid as I feel that the combobox presents the least clicks to the users. Thank you!

Re: [flexcoders] Passing values from popup window to MXML component
Hi,
I have written a function and after checking the username and password, to
toggle the buttons, but I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object
reference.
Here is the function I wrote
public function checkCredentials():void {
if(loginWin1.userInput.text == 'funandlearning'
loginWin1.passwordInput.text == 'funandlearning')
{
Alert.show(Login Successful);
PopUpManager.removePopUp(loginWin1);
//var main:Main = new Main();
main.logout.visible = false;
}
else
{
Alert.show('Try again');
PopUpManager.removePopUp(loginWin1);
}
}
LoginPopUp contains the code for displaying on the popupwindow, and Main is
another component which contains code for calling popup window and it contain
other UI code for header. Is this the right way to do?
Thanks

Yeah you can do what rohit said by adding a logout button at the same place and
toggling the visiblity.
This way,
From you main application you can do something like this.
if(loginWin. userInput. text=='funandlearni ng' loginWin.passwordIn
put.text= ='funandlearning' )
{
Alert.show( Login Successful) ;
loginWin.loginButto n.visible = false
loginWin.logoutButt on.visible = true
}
You can also use the same button but play around the text property.

[flexcoders] Re: Progress for synchronous operation
I am not fully sure how AlivePDF works because I have never used it but I thought that it could be done asynchronously because I saw a complete event in the documentation that reads: Dispatched when PDF has been generated and available. The save() method generate this event That to me says that it can be generated asynchronously but like I said I really dont know. As far as showing progress during a synchronous call it is not possible. This is because the synchronous call does not return until it is done and thus the UI will never get a chance to update during the process. If you want to show something before that is possible. You could use a timer or you may want to look at the callLater method of displayObject as this will wait one frame before calling the method you want. This would allow you to show say a pop up or something so they user could at least see something. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Richard Rodseth rrods...@... wrote: What's a good way to display progress or a busy cursor for a potentially long-running, but synchronous operation (in my case generating a PDF using AlivePDF) ?

[flexcoders] Re: Odd DragOver Problem
Thank you for the help. I have a dragEnterHandler function which is called upon the main container's DragEvent.DRAG_ENTER event. The dragEnterHandler is the only place where acceptDragDrop is called, but that handler is only called when I'm on the left side of the container. I'm looking through the Flex source now to see when exactly the DRAG_ENTER event is dispatched. It's worth noting that the dead zone changes as the size of the control changes. It's not half of the container size, but around 60% of the length.

As I drag a child HBox around the main HBox, I sometimes see the invalid drag icon, even though it should be valid. If it disallowed dragging one child over another, I could understand that. But even that seems random, with some portions of the children showing as valid drag targets, and others not. With a small number of children, it was odd but not debilitating. With a large number of children, it became entirely untenable. If I have ten children, I can't drop the items anywhere except the first half of it's width. Is there another element to this that affects where an object becomes a drop target or not? Variable width perhaps? Padding? I'm at a loss.

Here's the function for when the main container is created:
public function ColumnArranger()
{
super();
this.setStyle(borderStyle,solid);
this.setStyle(borderThickness,1);
this.setStyle(backgroundColor,#1B4B6A);

addEventListener( DragEvent.DRAG_DROP, dragDropHandler );
addEventListener( DragEvent.DRAG_OVER, dragOverHandler );
addEventListener( DragEvent.DRAG_EXIT, dragExitHandler );
}
This is the function for the addition of children:
public function populateData(columnArray:Array):void
{
var currBox:HBox = null;
var currLabel:Label = null;
var currCheckBox:CheckBox = null;
for each (var currValues:Object in columnArray) {
currBox = new HBox();
currBox.setStyle(horizontalAlign,center);
currBox.setStyle(borderStyle,solid);
currBox.setStyle(borderThickness,1);
currBox.percentWidth=100;
currLabel = new Label();
currLabel.text = currValues.name;
currBox.addChild(currLabel);
currBox.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, beginDrag );
this.addChild(currBox);
}
}
Then this is the function for the child's MouseMove:
public function beginDrag( mouseEvent:MouseEvent ):void
{
if (mouseEvent.buttonDown) {
var dragInitiator:IUIComponent = mouseEvent.currentTarget as
IUIComponent;
var dragSource:DragSource = new DragSource();

*Subject:* [flexcoders] Runtime fonts embedding in AIR
Hi All!
Probably the most popular approach to load fonts runtime is to generate SWF
files either in Flash or in Flex where font is registered via
Font.registerFont(fontClass).
In Flash you normally add it to the library.
In Flex you embed it via [Embed] metatag.
And we have used this approach for a while as a guideline for content
developers.
In our Flex application this works perfect.
But now we need to show the same content in the AIR application.
And since all SWF fonts are in the local-with-file sandbox, their
Font.registerFont() calls are just ignored.
In other words, when I create text fields upon the SWF font loading and use
that loaded font, it just does not work.
*private* *function* onEmbeddedFontComplete() : *void* {
*trace*(Font.enumerateFonts().length); *// Output 0;*
*var* textField : UITextField = *new* UITextField();
textField.htmlText =
*font face='SegoeScript'Segoe Script/font*;
textField.rotation = 30;
box.addChild(textField);
}
...
mx:SWFLoader
id=embeddedFont complete=onEmbeddedFontComplete() /
I suppose this should be quite common problem when you are creating some
text editing software that works with runtime loaded fonts which are not
deployed along with the application, but created by users, and eventually
you need to migrate to AIR.
Any ideas how to avoid the problem without modification to the content (we
already have a lot of font files in use and we can not enforce users to
redevelop all)?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Data Grid Question
Apologies for resurrecting a somewhat old thread, but since my searches
turned me up here and I spent several hours today working on this issue I
thought it would be appropriate.
Here's is the code I came up with that mostly solves this.
My source data is just a basic XMLListCollection.
The renderer colSpanningHeader is a basic label component. I did nothing
but make it align center
***
mx:AdvancedDataGrid id=gridTemplates left=10 right=10 top=10
bottom=50
mx:dataProvider
mx:GroupingCollection id=gc source={xmllTemplates}
mx:Grouping
mx:GroupingField name=templateType

/mx:columns
mx:rendererProviders

***
I find one problem with this, I can't completely get rid of the first
column. It makes my grid look a little tacky.
Anyone out there know how I can get this same method of grouping without
showing the first column? I don't want a folder tree, I just want a header
row for each group.
Thanks

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Data Grid Question
I'm not sure how to group in the way you're wishing it, but I am sure that it
can be done. I think the trick is with the item renderers. Which is
something I just learned about. Here's my entire code, Sorry I can't release

[flexcoders] Determine the location of shared object files
I am hoping that someone can at least point me in the right direction here. I have an application that runs on the users desktop that I would like to be able to read / write flash shared object files. This is NOT an Air application so I need to manually write this file. My goal is to have my app be able to write some information into the shared object so that any swf running on my domain could read that shared object and get that information. The reason I want to use shared objects is because it is pretty generic and the SWF would not have to know about app or even who wrote the shared object just that there is some information there. My Questions are: 1. How can I determine the location of a shared object file if I know the domain and path of it. To be more specific, I have found this path several places and with some testing it seems to be correct. For Web sites: %APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\random code\domain\path\object name.sol But I still have no idea how to generate the random code part of this path. If I have a swf write to the shared object I can easily enough search and find the .sol file 100% of the time but I would really like to be able to write this file before any swf is run. I hope that makes sense. 2. From what I have gathered .sol files are pretty much AMF data with a special header is this correct? 3. Had anybody tried anything like this before? Will it work and is there a better way?
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Progress for synchronous operation
So I tried this pattern:
private function onClickSave(event:Event):void {
CursorManager.setBusyCursor();
var generatePDF:Function = function(e:Event):void {
savePDF(bytes);
};
// Delay start so cursor can display
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1, 1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, generatePDF);
timer.start();
}
private function savePDF(pdfBinary:ByteArray):void {
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.save(pdfBinary,MyReport.pdf);
}
But then of course I get the security error below from savePDF:
Error: Error #2176: Certain actions, such as those that display a pop-up
window, may only be invoked upon user interaction, for example by a mouse
click or button press.
at flash.net::FileReference/_save()

[flexcoders] When Do I Render a Legend in a Chart?
My Flex chart has code that creates a legend from each data series. Currently,
I have the drawLegend function execute when a button is clicked.
I am trying to get the legend to draw automatically but I am having trouble
determining when to call the drawLegend function. Users click on an 'Update'
button which retrieves data. I want the legend to get created after this,
without the users having to click on another button.
I have put my drawLegend function in several places (ResultHandler,
afterEffectEnd(for chart animation, etc.) and nothing works.
Sometime after the series has been added to the chart and after the series
animation ends, the legend can be added.
How can I trap this point in time and call my function?
Any ideas?
Below is the code I used to create the legend. Note that even though the code
processes each series, I noticed that the Fill color is null if it is called
too early.
private function drawLegend(event:Event):void {
clearLegend();
// Use a counter for the series.
var z:int = 0;
var numRows:int;
if (chart.series.length % rowSize == 0) {
// The number of series is exactly divisible by the rowSize.
numRows = Math.floor(chart.series.length / rowSize);
} else {
// One extra row is needed if there is a remainder.
numRows = Math.floor(chart.series.length / rowSize) + 1;
}
for (var j:int = 0; j numRows; j++) {
var gr:GridRow = new GridRow();
myGrid.addChild(gr);
for (var k:int = 0; k rowSize; k++) {
// As long as the series counter is less than the number of
series...
//skip columnset group
if (chart.series[z] is LineSeries || chart.series[z] is
ColumnSeries){
if (z chart.series.length) {
var gi:GridItem = new GridItem();
gr.addChild(gi);
var li:LegendItem = new LegendItem();
// Apply the current series'
displayName to the LegendItem's label.
li.label = chart.series[z].displayName;
// Get the current series' fill.
var sc:SolidColor = new SolidColor();
sc.color =
chart.series[z].items[0].fill.color;
// Apply the current series' fill to
the corresponding LegendItem.
li.setStyle(fill, sc.color);//was
just sc
// Apply other styles to make the
LegendItems look uniform.
li.setStyle(textIndent, 5);
li.setStyle(labelPlacement, left);
li.setStyle(fontSize, 9);
gi.setStyle(backgroundAlpha, 1);
gi.setStyle(backgroundColor,
sc.color);
//gi.width = 80;
// Add the LegendItem to the GridItem.
gi.addChild(li);
}
}
// Increment any time a LegendItem is added.
z++;
}
}
[flexcoders] Cant get Java compiler classes to work - Error: -1
Hi, (sorry if this appears as a duplicate post - I dont think the first one
posted properly into the mailing list)
I wonder if anyone can help. I'm trying to write a very simple Java class
using the Flex SDK 3.4 to compile a simple mxml file. The code I've written
is:
import java.io.File;
import flex2.tools.oem.Application;
public class TestCompile {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Application app = new Application(new
File(C:\\temp\\app.mxml));
app.setOutput(new File(C:\\temp\\app.swf));
long result = app.build(true);
if (result 0) {
System.out.println(COMPILE OK);
} else {
System.out.println(COMPILE FAILED, result = +
result);
}
}
}
When I run this, I consistently get the following:
Loading configuration file
C:\Projects\flexPresentation\WEB-INF\frameworks\flex-config.xml
Error: -1
COMPILE FAILED, result = 0
Does anyone know what Error -1 means? And how to solve it?
The annoying thing is that I had this code working at one point, and I dont
know what I've done to make this happen!
Any ideas?
Cheers
Nathan

RE: [flexcoders] Runtime fonts embedding in AIR
The applicationDomain shouldn't matter because all of the related classes
should be wrapping a DefineFont object. LoadBytes() lets you choose an
applicationDomain topology so you can always load directly into the main one if
you want.

Subject: [flexcoders] Runtime fonts embedding in AIR
Hi All!
Probably the most popular approach to load fonts runtime is to generate SWF
files either in Flash or in Flex where font is registered via
Font.registerFont(fontClass).
In Flash you normally add it to the library.
In Flex you embed it via [Embed] metatag.
And we have used this approach for a while as a guideline for content
developers.
In our Flex application this works perfect.
But now we need to show the same content in the AIR application.
And since all SWF fonts are in the local-with-file sandbox, their
Font.registerFont() calls are just ignored.
In other words, when I create text fields upon the SWF font loading and use
that loaded font, it just does not work.
private function onEmbeddedFontComplete() : void {
trace(Font.enumerateFonts().length); // Output 0;
var textField : UITextField = new UITextField();
textField.htmlText =
font face='SegoeScript'Segoe Script/font;
textField.rotation = 30;
box.addChild(textField);
}
...
mx:SWFLoader
id=embeddedFont complete=onEmbeddedFontComplete() /
I suppose this should be quite common problem when you are creating some text
editing software that works with runtime loaded fonts which are not deployed
along with the application, but created by users, and eventually you need to
migrate to AIR.
Any ideas how to avoid the problem without modification to the content (we
already have a lot of font files in use and we can not enforce users to
redevelop all)?

Yeah you can do what rohit said by adding a logout button at the same place
and toggling the visiblity.
This way,
From you main application you can do something like this.
if(loginWin. userInput. text=='funandlearni ng' loginWin.passwordIn
put.text= ='funandlearning' )
{
Alert.show( Login Successful) ;
loginWin.loginButto n.visible = false
loginWin.logoutButt on.visible = true
}
You can also use the same button but play around the text property.
