[flexcoders] Enable mousewheel function on spark List

[j2me_soul]

How can I enable the mousewheel event to the s:List ? 
Is the s:List have a property like verticalScrollPosition in mx:dataGrid
My code is created by flashcatalyst so all component have skinclass property, I 
don't wanna change the skin to css+picture. So how should I do?

Thanks Tibor Ballai.

I set historyManagementEn abled to false. So text (app=e41e&7a01- 
selectedIndex= 0) is removed from URL.
But still '#' character is appear with application URL.

Hi Tejas,

What you are seeing is Flex's default history management.
You can read about it here: 
http://livedocs. adobe.com/ flex/3/html/ help.html? content=deep_ linking_8. 
html

To disable it, you can set the TabNavigator' s historyManagementEn abled 
property to false.

Re:Re: [flexcoders] RemoveEventHandler issue

Amazing!

So how can I know what the magic number after the __ID_handler_ I guess is ?

My codes is created by flash catalyst so I can't change each eventlistener to 
actionscript code. Is there a way to solve that ?

What is in the attribute is really the body of that generated code and it is

I've never used it, but I'm thinking it doesn't look as useful as a regular 
mx.rpc.Responder.  For one thing, it doesn't give you the 
ResultEvent/FaultEvent.  Instead, it gives you some odd sort of info object, 
that I wouldn't even know how to inspect, as no details are provided as to what 
that object will look like.

Yeah, don't use flash.net.Responder.  Use mx.rpc.Responder.  That's why I 
included the full path.

Honestly, I'm not sure how it is that you don't see any difference between what 
I my example shows and what you're doing.  My fault/result method signatures 
are completely different--they have a different number of arguments and expect 
different data types.  These are the kind of details you need to train yourself 
to pick up on, or you're going to continue to find the documentation unhelpful.

Hope this clarifies;

[flexcoders] Problem losing values from query results to RESULT.DATA

[charliecrystle]

Weird issue: 

I have a query that works fine--produces expected results:
SELECT COUNT(tagsLU.tagid) as 'tagcount', tag.tagname as 'tagname' FROM TagsLU 
Inner Join tag on tag.tagid=tagslu.tagid Group By tag.tagname Order By tagcount 
DESC

which produces an array like this:

5 school
4 volunteer
2 casual
2 family
1 house
1 work

HOWEVER, when I retrieve through AS3 and run a trace, I get this:

 tag: casual; tagcount: 0
 tag: family; tagcount: 0
 tag: housework; tagcount: 0
 tag: school; tagcount: 0
 tag: volunteer; tagcount: 0
 tag: work; tagcount: 0

Here's the trace code:
...
var result:SQLResult = tagsStmt.getResult();
var numResults:int=result.data.length

for (var i:int = 0; i < numResults; i++) 
{ 
var row:Object = result.data[i]; 
var output:String =" tag: " + row.tagname; 
output += "; tagcount: " + row.tagcount; 
trace(output); 
} 

Any thoughts? I'm sooo close to finishing :)

RE: [flexcoders] Escaping slashes in a file name in AIR

[Jim Hayes]

I have no idea if this actually would work, but something like this?

private var origUrl:String

private function saveFile():void
{
var f:File = new File();
origUrl = f.url;
f.addeventlistener(Event.SELECT,onfileselected)
f.browseForSave("blah");
}

private function onfileselected(event:Event)
{
var f:File = event.target as File;
// compare f.url with origUrl to get some sort of relative path in order to 
escape the path delimiters and save it as a file.

}

Sorry, I'm just off to bed or I'd run it up, but would be interested to know if 
it does work at all. Thanks!

putting a / in a filename, no matter how it's rendered by the OS seems pretty 
stupid to me, however.

Subject: [flexcoders] Escaping slashes in a file name in AIR
 
So this is a problem that's not really a problem yet it is.  I think it's best 
explained with an example:

A user wants to save a file so we open the save dialog box via 
File.browseForSave().  User then selects a folder "my folder" and types in a 
name like "my/file/with/slashes.txt" and hits the save button.

What happens is AIR interprets this as save a file "slashes.txt" in the folder 
"my folder/my/file/with".  To me this seems perfectly reasonable and correct.  
In fact, I would say this IS the correct behavior.  However my users feel that 
what should happen is that a file with the name "my/file/with/slashes.txt" 
should be saved out in "my folder".

I haven't tested on Windows but on Mac OS using Safari and Chrome the user's 
expected behavior is what happens.  In Firefox the slashes are converted to 
underscores.  This leads me to believe that these browsers are all getting the 
name back and escaping the slashes.

In AIR I'm not seeing anyway to get the filename and escape it as the select 
that is fired when the user clicks "save" returns a File object with a name 
property set to "slashes.txt" -- that is, whatever is after the last slash.

Does anyone know how to capture the filename and escape slashes or is that just 
not going to happen?

I forgot this little bit - using Responder over AsyncResponder. As far as I can 
tell, it's not a custom class as it's included by default in the SDK. 

As far as usage, if I use Responder over AsyncResponder, I get the following 
error:

1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.net:Responder to an unrelated 
type mx.rpc:IResponder.

I'll see if I can figure that out, but AsyncTokens definitely don't seem to 
like me.

Thanks for the tip, Amy, but it doesn't look any different than what I have. 
Additionally, I didnt see any change in behavior from SDK 3.1 to SDK 3.5.

Intentionally brief, here:

import mx.rpc.AsyncToken;
import mx.rpc.AsyncResponder;

var token:AsyncToken = myService.disableStatistics(user,pass,email,tArray);
token.info = email;
token.addResponder(new AsyncResponder(myResults,myFaults,token));

private function myResults(event:Object, token:AsyncToken):void {
var resultEvent:ResultEvent = ResultEvent(event);
}
private function myFaults(event:Object, token:AsyncToken):void {
var faultEvent:FaultEvent = FaultEvent(event);
}

disableStatistics is called, and executes correctly. I see the reply coming 
back in but neither myResults nor myFaults is ever called. If I add a listener 
...

myService.adddisableStatisticsEventListener(myResultHandlingFunction);

... the listener's result function is called, but I have no token data from the 
AsyncToken/AsyncResponder. 

Could the problem be due to AsyncTokens being used within the Flex generated 
coded based off the WSDL? ie, wrapping AsyncToken calls around other AsyncToken 
calls?

Re: [flexcoders] TabNavigator Problem.

[Tibor Ballai]

Hi Tejas,

What you are seeing is Flex's default history management.
You can read about it here: 
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=deep_linking_8.html

To disable it, you can set the TabNavigator's historyManagementEnabled 
property to false.

[flexcoders] TabNavigator Problem.

[Tejas Patel]

I've used TabNavigator control in my flex application.
When I run my application, looks perfect.
But when i select any tab from TabNavigator control, Application URL having 
some strange text.
when i select second tab, it looks like this..
http://localhost/TestingControls-debug/TestingControls.html#app=e41e&7a01-selectedIndex=1

when i again select first tab, it looks like this..
http://localhost/TestingControls-debug/TestingControls.html#app=e41e&7a01-selectedIndex=0

Why this (#app=e41e&7a01-selectedIndex=0) text comes with application URL?
How to stop displaying this text?

[trefalgar]

Thanks for this post. I thought I had updated to SDK 3.3, but it looks like my 
default was still 3.1. I updated Flex Builder to use the 3.3 SDK and I'll give 
it all a second try.

I'll also take a look at Amy's URL, to make sure I'm doing things in a kosher 
manner.

I googled around a lot for this but could not find a solution anywhere. So I

[flexcoders] itemRenderer in dynamically generated DataGrid

[Mlist]

Hi,

I need an itemRenderer in my DataGrid (id: dgDataGrid) so it displays two
different strings (string1 and string2 - see the explanation part for more
info about how these strings are defined in the array). I have created the
itemRenderer as mxml, with HBox wrapping two labels. How can I populate
their text values, considering that the function for creating columns in the
dgDataGrid is as follow:

private function updateDataGrid():void 
{
var aDataGridColumns:Array = new Array();

for (var i:uint = 0; i < _aYears.length; i++)
{
var dgcDataGridColumn:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn(
_aYears[i] );
dgcDataGridColumn.headerText = String( _aYears[i] );
aDataGridColumns.push( dgcDataGridColumn );
} 
   
dgDataGrid.columns = aDataGridColumns;
}


Explanation:

- _aYears is an array storing years, eg. 2002, 2003, 2004,
- dataProvider for the dgDataGrid is set to _acData, which is an array
collection wrapping aData array,
- data in aData array can be accessed as 

aData[sYear] = aYearDetails;

where aYearDetails is created as:

aYearDetails.push({ string1:string1Value, string2:string2Value })


Thanks!

I always use mx.rpc.Responder instead of AsyncResponder (is that a custom 
class?).  There's a working example of using AsyncToken with AMFPHP here 
http://flexdiary.blogspot.com/2009/01/lazy-loading-tree-example-file-posted.html
 .  Maybe that will help you see something the docs aren't showing you.

[flexcoders] Spark, FXG and composition - the performance black hole

[Florian]

I think i am going to start a new topic for the issue...

I ran into to the problem that i groups and graphic primitives wouldn't behave 
as expected when compositions are created, in more detail, when a layout is 
applied.

I now understand, that compared to Degrapha, there is no possibility to draw 
into the Group instance directly, but to draw into a child of the component.

Which leads to the following: unnecessary nesting from Groups and unnecessary 
remeasureing.

Creating:



Just for a background of the VGroup is not really a clever way performance wise.

[flexcoders] Re: IGraphicElement and LayoutBase

[Florian]

Yes, in that case i would expect the Displayobject to effecting the layout and 
the measuring.

But that's not what we always want. Sometimes we just want to draw to the 
graphics property of a component/container. It would be absurd to create a 
GroupBase instance to "not layout" the instances like a VGroup and a Rect, 
which should be the VGroups background.

So, Performance is no issue with the Flash Player anymore?

Re: [flexcoders] question about inheritance and events and overriding methods

[Tim Romano]

Thanks very much, Aaron, for taking the time to compile the code on your 
end. Without your help, I'd have been spinning my wheels on this for days


It appears to be a compiler/debugger bug  in beta 2.  I started 
commenting out code and recompiling and then uncommenting and 
recompiling and eventually the error icon jumped to a line with no code 
on it at all. So I closed FB completely and reopened it and  the code 
compiled and I was able to debug it.


I got rid of the calls to super() BTW and moved the params parameter out 
of the constructor to the execute() function.

Cut everything out of your project (maybe make a new one) except the 
onResult function you believe may be the cause and see if you still 
get the error.  I suspect you won't.  Good luck!

currentTarget refers to the image object, not the array.

imgArray is an Array reference

imgArray[imgIdx] is an Object reference.

Effectively you are trying to write "picWidth.height=picWidth * 2;"

Oops, I should say:  (e.currentTarget as Image).height = picWidth * 2;

Probably better written as

var pic:Image=(e.currentTarget as Image);
pic.height=pic.width * 2;

I think the Vector class came in with Flash Player 10 and Flex 3 targets 
FP 9. I think it is possible to target FP10 with flex 3, but haven't 
attempted to do so myself. The Flash builder trial should have no 
problem with the Vector class.

[flexcoders] Identifying which image caused the event?

[criptopus]

If i have an event Listener of the following type on an array element how do I 
determine the element from within the event so as to set one of the elements 
properties.

e.g.

imgArray[imgIdx].addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, adjustImage);

private function adjustImage(e:Event):void
{

var picWidth:int=(e.currentTarget as Image).width;
imgArray[???].height=picWidth * 2;

}

[flexcoders] Re: How do I get an array of Images

[criptopus]

Thank you, thank you. I did know they started at 0 but I must have been working 
to late and let that slip from my mind.

I did read about Vector's and how they where more suited than arrays as long as 
if they where of the same type although I don't seem to be able to use them in 
Flex, I currently have the 3.2 compiler are they not available or does it need 
including as a package?

[flexcoders] what's the difference between remoting service and URLStream

[loveewind]

so far as I know, calling remoting service (Remote object) is asynchronous , 
however URLStream is not asynchronous.

if the data on Flex are streamed as AMF in URLStream,compare this data service 
with remoting server, how about is the performance?
below is the code:

public function loadData():void{

var url:String = "http://abc.com/ProcessServlet?id=3";;
var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest(url);
request.method=URLRequestMethod.GET;
var urlStream:URLStream =new URLStream();
urlStream.addEventListener("complete", handleDataShow)
urlStream.addEventListener("ioError", loadDataError)
try {
urlStream.load(request);
}catch (error:Error){
Alert.show(error.toString());
}

}

private function handleDataShow(event:Event):void{
 var urlStream:URLStream=URLStream(event.target);
 var byte:ByteArray=new ByteArray;
 urlStream.readBytes(byte, byte.length);
 byte.uncompress();
 var obj:Contact =byte.readObject() as Contact;
 }
