Re: [flexcoders] Preloader
Modules are not loaded on the display list so they won’t show a preloader. Better option is to hook up mx.controls.ProgressBar to the IModuleInfo events. You can skin it to look like the other progress bar.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Override FileReference Class [1 Attachment]
I think I get what you mean. Mr. Flex, there are two ways to enable
filedownload from a server script in flex -
- Using a script which contains an html content in itself and thus the need
to do a navigatetourl so that it should be opened in different browser
window. In dotnet terminology an .aspx page or a php or jsp .This html page
will then open the file dialog asking the user to download the file.
- Using a script which returns a purely binary data or file content. In
dotnet terminology a .ashx page and in java a pure servlet. These scripts
dont need a navigatetourl call, since in this way we can directly open the
file browser dialog in flex. This appears to be more user friendly.
We have used the second approach quite frequently in our project and were
also stuck at how to restrict the user from changing the file extension
since the file filter only says All files. Check attached snapshot. We could
not find one solution but those were flex 2 days. Is it still an issue in
Flex 3 /flash player 10?
You might as well go ahead and try override the class. I have some time on
had so we can collaborate. Send me a mail if interested.
Thanks,

Re: [flexcoders] Localization problems mainly on Macs - Cannot switch to second input Language
"No work around, but i think that the problem is that flash player in combination with some browsers (mentioned above) 'eats' the ALT-SHIFT / change language event - i might be wrong..." you might be absolutely correct.The browser stealing keyboard shortcut problem has been there for at least a couple of years now on both windows and mac Here is my post on that - http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/90567 looks like adobe cant fix it - http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-815 http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-477 we fought this issue for some time ourselves but then I saw buzzword, an adobe product had a workaround. Check out this link - http://www.colettas.org/?p=294 it says - "Prototyping additional browser support: Buzzword relies on some small but critical bits of JavaScript to support keyboard control and system clipboard access, so we are currently limited to IE, Firefox, and Safari. You would prototype versions of this code for other browsers." I tried to contact the author via email, but got no response. Ultimately had to do a lot of Javascript reverse engineering to solve this problem.Maybe it was something they did not want to share at that time. I would prefer Adobe to come out with a solution for this since there are a lot of data entry apps where users would prefer the use of keyboard shortcuts rather than letting the developers fight with it. In fact I can contribute to a solution if required. There was a similar issue of focus handling in firefox/flash which was fixed in firefox 3.x . http://wwwx.cs.unc.edu/~gb/wp/blog/2007/06/08/fixing-firefox-flash-foolishness/ http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.accessibility/browse_thread/thread/360ba2fcb48de633/ec87ab6b4e30d822?pli=1 Thanks, Peeyush On Wed, Feb 3, 2010 at 7:27 PM, Fotis Chatzinikos < fotis.chatzini...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hello all i added the following in jira as a bug (#FP-3824). > > If any of you have some time, can you test/reproduce and reply here?

Re: [SPAM] Re: [flexcoders] Loading XML
All requests to load resources are HTTP requests in Flex.flex is not the best at returning you the exact HTTP status codes in these situations(which will tell you the true reason for the error). Try using an HTTP traffic monitor like http://www.charlesproxy.com/ It will tell you exactly what causes the error. you can post the HTTP traffic dump which we could analyze. I believe flex 4 also has a network monitor which can be used during development time.

[flexcoders] Error in logout from channel in Flex 4
Hi,
We are building our application on Flex 4 and LCDs 3. The application uses
RTMP protocol to communicate to the server. Request for application server is
routed through Edge server sitting in DMZ. For implementing the logout
functionality, I am invoking logout on the RTMP channel.
The problem occurs when I try to login and logout more than 2 times. For first
two attempts of login-logout, it works as expected. But on third attempt an
error related to invalid FlexSession is displayed on Edge Server console. No
request is forwarded to appln. server
Following is the logout logic
public function logout() : void{
asyncConsumer.unsubscribe();
var token:AsyncToken = asyncConsumer.channelSet.logout();
asyncConsumer.disconnect();
token.addResponder(new AsyncResponder(logoutSuccessCallback,
logoutErrorCallback));
}
private function logoutErrorCallback(event : FaultEvent, token :
AsyncToken = null) : void {
mx.controls.Alert.show("Unexpected error during log out.", "Error");
}
private function logoutSuccessCallback(event : ResultEvent, token :
AsyncToken = null):void {
mainTabNavigator.removeAll();
callLater(showLoginPrompt, [null]);
}
I have not been able to figure out why do I get Invalid FlexSession error third
time ? What extra statements need to be added to clear the Flex Session
infomation from the client.
Following is the error log on edge server for 3rd attempt to login after logout:

[flexcoders] Bitmap with Scale9 in custom border
Hi,
I'm trying to implement a custom border (based on Border) with a bitmap at
its bottom. Only the middle part of the bitmap must be stretched (kinda
Scale3).
As Border is based on a FlexShape, I can't add an Image as child -- and I
can't get the solution in RectangularBorder.initBackgroundImage to work,
either (i.e. add the child to the parent).
The current state is as follows:
protected function drawBorder(w:Number, h:Number):void
{
var g:Graphics = graphics;
var border:Bitmap = new borderImage();
// setup scale9 here
border.width = w;
g.beginBitmapFill(border.bitmapData);
g.drawRect(0, h - 19, w, 19);
g.endFill();
}
...but doesn't work, as the bitmapData is not affected by setting a
scaling value for the Bitmap, I assume.
What would be a neat solution here?
Kind regards,
--

[flexcoders] Encoding XML Character Entity References *properly*
Hi,
I have a string given to me by a user. I want to create XML so I can send the
string to the server as the value of an XML node. E.g. like this:
string.
However, if I do it like this:
new XML("" + string + "");
that works great until somebody gives me a string e.g.:
var string:String = "a string/&";
Given string above, how do I construct an XML node with string representation
of
a string /&
?
I'm missing an xmlEscape() function so that I can do:
new XML("" + xmlEscape(string) + "");
Or how else do I create an XML object where the special chars are encoded as
XML character entity references?
I can pretty easily construct it myself from either regular expressions or
split/join, but I just find it very hard to believe there isn't a pre-existing
function for this. Whenever I find myself escaping or encoding by hand, I
pretty much know I'm going the wrong direction, and here-be-dragons.
E.g. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/84143
Has an incomplete (== buggy) code snippet. In that thread, htmlDecode() doesn't
decode £ which is a valid HTML character reference (but not a valid XML
character reference). My point is that if we all start writing home-grown
encoding/decoding, bugs will happen.
Is it really true that Flex doesn't provide this out of the box? Am I
misunderstanding something?
Thank you for reading this far!
Peter
P.S.: Please don't tell me about escape() because it URL-encodes, which is not
the same thing. (For "a&b" I want "a&b", not "a%26b).

They established Flex as a high-end serious development system that could compete with other "serious" development systems and distanced it from flash eye-candy. Adobe have now managed to shift the perception of Flex from top-end to something that's used for eye-candy frivolity with the association with flash.

[flexcoders] Re: What's up Adobe?
It's too late, the damage is done, but I agree also FWIW. An Adobe VP told me about "Flex" being the open source branding, and "Flash" being the commercial product branding. There is no way that customers will figure that out. They have enough trouble understanding that developers are left-brained and designers are right-brained. One should not target a single brand at two classes of individuals who have different educations, different values, different world views, drive different cars and listen to different music.

[flexcoders] Re: PopUpManager & Module Components
Could possibly be, but any evidence to the fact has been swept under the carpet as I change it to for a while and it worked. I have set it back to again and all is okay. *whistles gently*. However ModuleTitleWindow is currently and desn't want to be called or anything else for that matter. Not up on namespaces so I have left it as is for now. may want to name it something in the future though, looks better. - Stephen

Hi,
background : we are trying to simplify maintenance of CSS stylesheets by

I'm loading style dynamically :
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(url, true); // a swf containing the CSS

[flexcoders] Re: Identifying module loaded
In your event handler (dispModule in your example code), event.target will
reference the IModuleInfo returned from your getModule(...) call. Use that to
identify the module loaded.
One additional caveat though: I'd highly recommend keeping a reference to the
IModuleInfo returned from getModule until at least the module has loaded or
failed to load. I've had numerous occasions where I didn't keep hold of the
reference, called load() and then got nothing ... no READY or ERROR events
getting fired. Presumably because it got GC'd.

RE: [flexcoders] Adobe AIR and a Java bat file
Take a look at Merapi which is a java bridge for AIR, or at the AIR 2.0 beta which includes native process APIs. Gk.
[flexcoders] Adobe AIR and a Java bat file
I have been Googling all morning to see if it is possible for an installed AIR application can execute a simple bat file and it seems that the 'no-no' of running other apps on a user's machines is the overwhelming answer. I thought I would throw the idea past you experts and see if there is any solutions to my issue. We have a mass uploading process that we need to do daily to upload data from a local system database (Oracle) to a remote CMS database though a java based batch uploader. I have the bat file sitting on my desktop. I thought a cool little project would be to have my AIR app query the oracle database, generate XML files on the desktop, then run the batch file that uploads them..putting all the steps in the process in one place and automate it by running it at a specific time each day. Getting the information, generating XML documents doesn't seem to be a real problem. Simple web service and conversion manager class will get that done, its the bat file that seems to be the kink in the process. Can an AIR app run a local bat file OR can the actual JAVA in the bat file be executed by the AIR app?

Hi Mark, Just a "short" answer (from Wiki) to your question:: "In fact, before they decided to change them name, I wondered why they were associating the name with "Flex" in the first place." Certain things in the following description need be corrected of course, like the last entry in Release History.. but anyway. Flex was there right from the beggining since Macromedia introduced it. Thanks George The initial release in March 2004 by Macromedia included a software development kit, an IDE, and a J2EE integration application known as Flex Data Services. Since Adobe acquired Macromedia in 2005, subsequent releases of Flex no longer require a license for Flex Data Services, which has become a separate product rebranded as LiveCycle Data Services.

[flexcoders] Re: What's up Adobe?
I think the new name makes perfect sense. The current FlexBuilder doesn't only "build" "flex". It builds "flash" as well. When you think of it, it is truly a "Flash" "Builder". In fact, before they decided to change them name, I wondered why they were associating the name with "Flex" in the first place. When I started, it was not obvious I could use it to build a simple flash animations without the flex framework, which I actually needed to do for a few projects.

Hello all i added the following in jira as a bug (#FP-3824). If any of you have some time, can you test/reproduce and reply here? Or even vote for the bug? Steps to reproduce: 1. Compile and run the following (flex code 3.2) http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"> 2. View the application in Chrome (in windows), or any browser on a Mac 3. type something in the input box in your pre-selected language and then try switching to a second language, continue typing... Actual Results: Text remains in the main language, or is broken (usually the first) Expected Results: Users should be able to switch to their second language and type as normal Workaround (if any): No work around, but i think that the problem is that flash player in combination with some browsers (mentioned above) 'eats' the ALT-SHIFT / change language event - i might be wrong...

Re: [flexcoders] How to update styles after a registerColorNames ?
Hi,
Thanks for the answer. I'm working on Flex3 for the moment.
I searched quickly how to get the IStyleManager for flex3, and,... well, ...
I'll have to wait for your help :)
I tried the most naive way, StyleManager.styleDeclarationsChanged() and
since its mx_internal it won't let me.

One of my modules that I converted to ModuleTitleWindow is complaining about it says it could not resolve to a component implementation. It was working before so what happened and how do I put it right? - Stephen Brown
Re: [flexcoders] WSDL objects -> Flex value objects
There are 2 version of the utility, I'm sucessfully using one of them. I can send it to you though if you need it. The idea is that you want to translate object from the response into custom objects. And that does exactly that thing.

[flexcoders] Re: What's up Adobe?
Hi all. hi Tom, hi Nick, hi Wally I have to thank you for your understanding! The common denominator of all answers on why the new version of Flex Builder 3 should be renamed to Flash Builder 4 is "WTF No big deal". Or better, as Tom put it: "Just marketing bollocks!!" LOL Then I can call myself anything I like, as long as I keep exercising succesfully my discipline writting code in a framework used to be called Flex Builder (plug-in IDE to Eclipse) and now called Flash Builder IDE. What's bugging me is that all my current work done for the last 2 years, has to be referencing as been done in a non-existing (now obsolete?) framework, that as time goes will have its trade name placed next to T-Rex. As I understand it, this marketing decision is devaluating my investment in a development platform. (Not my first time unfortunatelly) Although not a stickler, I believe marketeers shouldn't be creating a mess out of logic. Like presenting us a product named Flash Builder4 with no previous Flash Builder3. If they think Flash Builder IS the name, why don't they call this "new" product just "Flash Builder v1"? Or, are they afraid this would confuse the market? BTW should this "Flexcoders" group be renamed to "Flashcoders"? Or keep it going as is?
