Re: [flexcoders] Drag and drop vs scrolling
Some folks have tried making the renderer a drop target in order to add different meaning to dropping in folders. In theory it should work, but I think I’d work from the Tree instead, and then I would expect autoscroll to work. On 4/20/10 3:31 PM, Richard Rodseth rrods...@gmail.com wrote: I inherited some code which supports drag and drop from a list to a node of a tree. Unfortunately it does not work when the tree is scrolled. Not only does the tree not autoscroll, but even if you scroll the target item into view before beginning the drag, incorrect nodes highlight. I didn't see any code that's doing coordinate transformations, but did notice that there is a custom TreeItemRenderer, which contains the listeners for dragEnter etc. I'm guessing this is the root of the problem, since renderers are recycled. I've no idea why things were done this way, and am wondering if this is a legitimate idiom, or if I need to start over with listeners defined at the Tree level. Also, is autoscroll supported if you do things the right way? -- Alex Harui Flex SDK Team Adobe System, Inc. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui
Re: [flexcoders] TitleWindow.title won't update from a setter
Are you sure your setter is getting called? If so, when is it called? Maybe
it is being called inside commitProperties after super.commitProperties.

Re: [flexcoders] TitleWindow.title won't update from a setter
Hi,
When tracing the setter, it is definately getting called. I'm currently just
trying to set this.title from the iFormID setter.
Here's my setup...
I have an MXML ArrayCollection with the CreateVendorDialog component inside
of the Array so it's created but not displayed (not sure if this is goood
practice but I picked it up along somewhere :) The component
ID=createVendor)
In my main Application I have a controlbar with two buttons, Create Vendor
and Create Vendor from iForm, they both call the same function but one
passes an extra string.
private function createVendorDialog(iFormID : String = ) : void
{
createVendor.iFormID = iFormID;
PopupManager.addPopUp(createVendor);
//createVendor.title = test;
}
The iFormID setter is getting called and this.title is being set but it's
not rendering. The only way I can get it working is to put this code in the
TitleWindow MXML component but that's a bit hacky isn't it?...
mx:TitleWindow
title = {(iFormID.length 0) ? 'Create Vendor by iForm' :
'Create Vendor'}
.
.
.
/
Perhaps I need to take a step back somewhere?...
Thanks,
Nick

[flexcoders] Re: Problems With my XML Created Array Collection
I am a little late to this party but I would have to recommend using AMF to pass your data back and forth. this allows you to pass objects and arrays of objects both ways. No need to convert objects to XML and back to objects - they are all just objects. When the data comes in you can use ArrayUtil.toArray on the result and create an ArrayCollection from this array. An empty result will have created a zero length array and you can trap on that. I use WebORB for PHP (Community Edition which is free) as the PHP middleware and have never had a problem. I have posted many examples on this forum of how to pass data back and forth. If you need any further help, I am but a post away ;-} I started out in my Flex learning going the XML route but soon got very confused, especially with trying to send arrays of data TO the server. As soon as I figured out how to do it with AMF I converted everything and now will not go back. Best Regards Steve

James First off, I would not use AMFPHP as it is deprecated in favor of ZendAMF (Part of Zend Framework). I found WebORB much easier to integrate than ZendAMF. With WebORB you use Object Oriented PHP. You create data transfer classes in both Flex and PHP and map them to each other. then you use class hinting in PHP to receive data from Flex. You can definitely send the arraycollection to PHP. It will arrive as an array of objects. One thing I think you should look into is SharedObjects in Flex. This allows you to save data to the local machine (Kind of like cookies but you have 100K of space you can use) and is very useful to hold these kinds of preferences.

This way you can preserve the individual Events incase another view
needs only one. For example another view just wants the phone book, it
can just call the PhoneBookEvent.LIST event and have that view be
binded
to that ArrayCollection also.
A manager is just there to tweek the data and put it into a dataholder.
It doesn't care where it goes to or how many elements are using it. As
long as it can support it.
Split your managers up by category and you can have as many as you
like.
I break mine up by view (or view category). For my child portal
application I have ChatManager, ArtManager, UserManager, UsageManager,
JournalManager, MailManager, AppManager, and about a dozen others.
Don't
make a generic manager that handler EVERYTHING, especially if you are
talking over 100 views.
Also, as your EventMap grows, break it up into other EventMaps. I have
mine by Event type letters (A-L, M-R, S-Z). For Example MailEvent goes
in M-R, JournalEvent goes in A-L, etc.
Hope that helps. If you need anything else. Let me know. I can share
what knowledge I have.

[flexcoders] Problem sorting AdvancedDataGrid
Hi,
I have read posts in this group, as well as many blog entries, regarding the
frequent need to manually sort the items in an AdvancedDataGrid when the
underlying data changes. ((I'm using SDK 3.5.)
And I have instances of the ADG where I have, in fact, successfully created
and used a sort that fires when the underlying data provider changes.
But I've got one now that just doesn't want to work, and I think the problem
must lie somehow in the grouping that goes on after the data provider is
refreshed.
In short, here's the scenario. I have an ArrayCollection that represents a
flat data hierarchy. In each item of the AC, there is a ProcedureID. There
may be multiple Items for a Procedure, so you may typically have four or
five items in the AC with the same ProcedureID, but differing ItemIDs.
The GroupingCollection is set around the ProcedureID, and the idea is that
the sort should be on the ProcedureID descending.
Here's the sort function that fires on data change. The GroupingCollection
is rc. The ADG is requestGrid.
public function refreshGrid(e:Event):void{
rc.refresh();
requestGrid.validateNow();
var sort:Sort = new Sort();
sort.fields = [new SortField(ProcedureID,false,true)];
IHierarchicalCollectionView(requestGrid.dataProvider).sort =
sort;
IHierarchicalCollectionView(requestGrid.dataProvider).refresh();
}
When I step through this in the debugger, I can see that the sort is created
correctly, and that the data provider is sorted and refreshed. But then the
grid shows its contents in an apparently random order. The parent-child
items in the grid are grouped correctly, but the ordering is incorrect.
Can someone suggest how to troubleshoot this further, please?

[flexcoders] Re: What is the Correct Type of Component For This?
A...Why do you say repeater items can't be selected? I built a custom component that responds to a mouse click and then repeat this component multiple times using a repeater from data that is returned from my server (Essentially this is a list of regions containing customers. Each user is only authorized to see specific regions/customers so the number of custom components repeated is set from this data). The custom component is fully self contained and responds to mouse clicks. If the underlying application needs to know about the clicks, I dispatch a bubbling event which the app listens for. So, in your case create a custom component with your different skins (greyscal/colored). The component should contain multiple sizes of images as well as a public var to set the size. The app should know the stage size as well as the number of items to display (From the server call). In your repeater, set the public var to the size you need.

Well, if the objective is to not write the components yourself, then I'd look into: ASDocs for available styling for the existing components Tweener / TweenLight / TweenMax and similar. I think they have the effects you are talking about out of the box.

That does sound like essentially what I'm after yes but the problem is I'm not
sure how to actually do it as I have zero experience at 1. bubbling and 2.
creating custom components :'-( Plus I think the answer may be within an edited
tilelist component now.
What I've managed to get so far (from another site) is a custom component based
on a tilelist with my item renderer added into it. It has the blue themed
rollover and selection squares completely removed for both rollover and
selection but what I need to do is edit this code to instead do what I've
described i.e. selection itself produces no visual effects but whilst an item
is hovered over it's image converts to colour and it's image and label glows
and when it is unhovered over the image returns to greyscale and all glow
effects stop. Can you help me with this by any chance or point out what I would
have to do to this code to achieve my own such component that allows the visual
effects I need? I have some glow/unglow effects aswell as converttogreyscale
and converttocolor effects from previous apps :-) Here's the code I've got for
the component:-

If im not mistaken, debuggin through GroupingCollection, the part where it
actually creates the subgrouped nodes (or leaf nodes), you will notice sort is
not used on those sub array collections. GC is a really worthwhile class to
understand if you are dealing with hierarchical data, it's overwhelming at
first but stick to it. You might have to tweak it a bit to force it to sort the
sub collections.
I'm using quite large groups at times and actually took GC2 from Flex 4. So far

To be blunt, what Robert has told you to do is a newbie workaround, which could easily have been avoided by just using e4x. It's unfortunate that object is the default return type for HTTPService, but it's very easy and quick to figure out how to fix it, especially if you read the FAQ's for this group. When you have a ton of extra code to implement an unnecessary workaround, it's just that much more code to maintain, bloats your file size, and slows performance.

I've never tried to display more than 20 or so series, but I do have an app
that has 5692 records with 4 series each for a total of 17076 data points. It
is displayed in a bar chart. Well it isn't actually displayed since that's
about 17 bars per pixel, but the bars are actually there and you get data tips
when you mouse over where the bars should be. I hide the chart from users when
there is too much data, and show them the data in a data grid . But when the
data is filtered down to around 3 or 4 bars per pixel the chart updates and the
bars display.
So while there is too much data to actually plot due to the limitations of the
screen there is no problem working with it in Flex and I am able to display it
in a data grid with no problem. In fact the the 6000 records I end up with are
the end result of some complex processing of 30 K objects of various types.
Sounds like your users want a plot of a plate of spaghetti.

The method used to populate the graph is thus:

ls.yField = counter;
ls.xField = dtime;
ls.displayName = o.valueOf();

Storing the data in an internal array, and possibly sending it to the clip

[flexcoders] FB4: Create screenshot (bitmap) from loaded swf
I am loading an external swf into my flex application using the SWF Loader. Once loaded, I would like to capture/copy the SWF into a bitmap and then unload the original swf. I only need/want to capture the image (1st frame) of the SWF as opposed to the having the SWF play in my Flex application. I have tried the following but doesn't work as it appears the entire swf is still loaded: var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData( 125, 125 ); var swfLoader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader() bitmapData.draw( IBitmapDrawable( swfLoader )); swfBitmap = new Bitmap( bitmapData ); swfLoader.source = swfBitmap; addElement( swfLoader ) I have also tried loading the external swf using Loader and then upon completion executing the bitmap code setting bitmapData.draw to loader.content. Thanks for any and all replies.

[flexcoders] Efficient SOAP WebService invocation
Hi all, In my application, each server data request creates a new WebService object, sets the wsdl url and loads the wsdl. I feel that repeating these three steps for each web service call carries a certain performance penalty in terms of loading the WSDL, parsing operations and so on. This is pretty evident given that the jittery user interaction when fetching server data. Is there any way I can optimize this? The most obvious solution here seems to be to load the URL only once and retrieve the Operation object from the WebService object each time a web service call is made. Does this idea sound good or are there any problems associated with it? Any clarifications or suggestions on how to tackle this situation would be much appreciated.

Amy That I didn't know. AMFPHP is probably a viable option then, especially seeing as it is being updated.

You create data transfer classes in both Flex and PHP and map them to each other. then you use class hinting in PHP to receive data from Flex. You can definitely send the arraycollection to PHP. It will arrive as an array of objects. One thing I think you should look into is SharedObjects in Flex. This allows you to save data to the local machine (Kind of like cookies but you have 100K of space you can use) and is very useful to hold these kinds of preferences. I would disagree that AMFPHP is deprecated... They just released a new version in February. -Amy

GC is a really worthwhile class to understand if you are dealing with hierarchical data, it's overwhelming at first but stick to it. You might have to tweak it a bit to force it to sort the sub collections. I'm using quite large groups at times and actually took GC2 from Flex 4. So far so good, there is nothing Flex 4 specific about that class. So using that class creates correct sorting? As I say, the part that I don't understand is why the main groups aren't sorted correctly.

So that means the library-swf and module-swfs that I updated would

Is my understanding correct?

Re: [flexcoders] Efficient SOAP WebService invocation
Speaking of optimization, SOAP is a shot in your own foot :) However, if
given no choice, I'd go with something similar to decorators.
That is, I'd have an AS3 webservice extending class that would allow to set
/ reset the functional part of it.
Example:
class DecoratedService extends WebService {
public function set decorator(value:IServiceDecorator):void {
this._decorator = value; }
private var _busy:Boolean;
private var _queur:Array = [];
public function call(who:String, whatToSay:Array):Boolean
{
if (this._busy) _queue.push(arguments);
else
{
this._decorator[who].apply(this._decorator, whatToSay);
this._busy = true;
}
}
private function resultHandler(event:Event):void
{
if (this._queue.length 2) this._busy = false;
this.call.apply(this, this._queue.shift());
}
// same for result handler
Sorry, I was typing it right here, but the idea should be visible :)

[flexcoders] Problem with Cairngorm as RSL inside Flex 3.5 / Air 1.5 application
Hi everybody,I have a problem with using Cairngorm as RSL for an AIR-application.We need to use Cairngorm as RSL inside the Air-application because we cannot deploy Cairngorm with the application itself (especially not compiled into it) because of legal reasons (support for components that are part of the official rollout).RSLs seem like a good place to look, but unfortunately I ran into some problems while switching everything from Merged into code to Runtime shared library (RSL).I switched the external libraries to Link Type: Runtime shared library (RSL) and also changed the Framework linkage to Runtime shared library (RSL).The problem I run into is expressed through the following exception: VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.rpc.soap::WebService could not be found. at global$init() at _com_sap_coe_microloanmanagement_business_ServicesWatcherSetupUtil$/init\ () at mx.managers::SystemManager/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::d\ ocFrameHandler()[C:\autobuild\3.5.0\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\ \managers\SystemManager.as:3217] at mx.managers::SystemManager/docFrameListener()[C:\autobuild\3.5.0\framewo\ rks\projects\framework\src\mx\managers\SystemManager.as:3069] After researching for quite some time, it seems this may have something to do with dependencies or the load order of the RSLs, exemplary described here: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-24747?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu\ gin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel and here: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-11222 The problem vanishes when I switch to the Flex 4 SDK, but unfortunately we need to stay on Flex 3.5. This also hints at a depedency / load order problem, as one of the bugs above was fixed for Flex 4 / Flash Builder 4.If I create a new project in Flash Builder 4, adding exactly the same swc-components as RSLs with nothing inside the MainApplication.mxml, I can start the project just fine. Further looking into it, I can run our project, too, if I remove all the controllers and the service-definitions from the main-.mxml-file.Has anybody ever run into such problems and knows where the error happens, or how to fix it. It would be greatly appreciated!My setup is as follows: * Flash Builder 4 * Flex SDK 3.5 * Air 1.5 * Cairngorm 2.2.1 If I forgot something important, I'll be glad to add it.with kind regards,Jonas
[flexcoders] Re: What is the Correct Type of Component For This?
Why not use a tileList or if spark, a List with tile layout. You can use a custom itemrenderer which can re-render when additional buttons are added and in rendering, can determine the optimum size based on running an algorithm on your dataprovider. There are all sorts of edge conditions to worry about (what if the total text width exceeds that of your container etc., etc.., but those have to be dealt with in any case, and I imagine you need a custom renderer anyway, to build your list items. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, James garymoorcroft_...@... wrote: I'm lost as to what component to use for navigation within my application.

[flexcoders] Re: What is the Correct Type of Component For This?
Thanks so much for helping me out valdhor. I've been racking my brains trying
to find it. I've even been trying to draw circles which glow inside the
drawselectionindicator of my tilelist component but that would look a bit bland
and is a pain to position them.
In that code you found there are 2 very interesting lines of code mainly those
which relate to the image inside of his item renderer abd the code which they
are pointing to for their glow effect:-
mx:Image id=myImage source={data.image} width=100 height=100
alpha=0.6
rollOutEffect={outerDocument.myOut} rollOverEffect={outerDocument.myOver}/
And this:-
mx:Parallel id=myOver
mx:Blur blurXFrom=30 blurYFrom=30 /
mx:Fade alphaFrom=0.6 alphaTo=1 /
mx:Resize widthTo=150 heightTo=150 easingFunction=Back.easeOut/
mx:Glow alphaTo=20 blurYTo=20 blurXTo=20 color=0x00ff00 /
/mx:Parallel
I'm assuming that if I can incorporate my effects into that code then I'll be
able to do the same. At least I hope. But what exactly does outerdocument mean?
I've came across it but never used it and I also have what a parallel is but if
it works I could care less :-)
Thanks for being so helpful. I'll let you know how it goes here.

I also looked at TourDeFlex to get some ideas.

from downloading the file inside TourDeFlex under Glow):

thisImage.source = images/ + theItem.image + .png;
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Image id=thisImage rollOverEffect={glowImage}
rollOutEffect={unglowImage}
autoLoad=true/
mx:Text id=thisText fontSize=24/
mx:Glow id=glowImage duration=1000 alphaFrom=1.0
alphaTo=0.3 blurXFrom=0.0
blurXTo=50.0 blurYFrom=0.0 blurYTo=50.0 color=0x22A050/

alphaTo=1.0 blurXFrom=50.0
blurXTo=0.0 blurYFrom=50.0 blurYTo=0.0 color=0x3380DD/
/mx:VBox
BTW. I only found one png image so I used it repeatedly. Also, I have
only one size. You should make multiple sizes and place them in the
images folder. You should also set the width and height inside the
custom component depending on the size you want (I have them hard coded
in my example). Then you would pass a size to the custom component by
exposing a public variable and use a switch statement to select the
correct size.

[flexcoders] Images not getting reloaded when source changes?
I'm trying to fix a *very* simply app. that just displays some images,
and is supposed to refresh the images when their URL parameters change.
In particular, these are supposed to be images of data tables, and the
query string specifies a table style, a text color and a border color.
The tables display correctly when loaded, but they don't respond when I
change the source URLs. I've verified that the sourceChange event is
triggered. I even put the new URL into a TextInput control, and
verified that this URL works (display the correct table) in another
browser tab. But the images in the Flex app don't ever change.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Here's the whole thing:

[flexcoders] Re: What is the Correct Type of Component For This?
Another superb example mate. Thanks a lot. That's a great use of a
repeater/custom component. I don't need to worry about width as if I used that
I could probably leave the width out and allow it t auto adjust based on the
size of my text. Plus the images I'm using are already up on the net and are
all 64X64 icon pngs so I don't have to worry about accomodating for image size
either. Plus if I allow my client to add new categories I'll limit the amount
of characters they can enter into the category names and add a function in so
that if they upload a new category image it will be scaled to 64x64 anyway.
I've been working on the tilelist custom component based on the last example
you gave me and came up with this so far:-
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

mx:Label id=lab text={data.label}
rollOverEffect={outerDocument.glow} rollOutEffect={outerDocument.unglow}

use namespace mx_internal;
override protected function drawSelectionIndicator(

{

}
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:TileList
The problem is though the way I want it to work is when a user hovers over the
image both the text AND the image glow the same for when they hover over the
text. It doesn't seem like I can do this with that previous example because it
seem impossible to target components inside an item renderer otherwise I would
have simply been able to apply multiple targets (the image and the label) to
the glow effect and unglow effect. Also in that previous example it seemed
impossible to implement my convert to greyscale and convert to color effects as
they are basically code rather than inbuilt effects like the glow effect is.
It seems these would all be applicable to your recent example though so I'll
try it out now and see if I can fit it all in there. Can't believe how helpful
you've been. Thanks again. I'll let you know how it goes.

[flexcoders] Re: How to clear cache for all major browsers (IE, Mozilla, Safari and Chrome)
You're not reading the qs correctly.
I am reposting my qs here:
I have a diff question relating to this caching issue.
My app is composed with a main-swf, a library-swf (RSL), and several
module-swfs.
To my understanding, this incrementing-build-version solution only
applies to the main-swf.
So that means the library-swf and module-swfs that I updated would
be loaded from the browser-cache instead of from the server.
Is my understanding correct?
Thx!

Hi Guys
Anyone has any idea which is the best way to clear the cache

it keeps on
pulling old entries from cache and is confusing user and me
with the
inconsistent results, I guess that it is pulling values from
the cache
as
everything works fine when I manually clear the cache.I did little
research
and tried following tags in the index.template.html but
somehow it is

Anyone has any idea?

[flexcoders] Re: What is the Correct Type of Component For This?
Valdhor I've implemented the code from the last example you gave me and
visually I have it working perfectly now, converting to color/grayscale,
glowing/unglowing everything. I only have one problem with it which is I'm
totally unsure as to how to get it to simulate the selecteditem click in the
app itsef. You see previously I used a combobox as my category navigation/links
filterer which had the index 0 set as the default selected item and as the user
clicked each combobox item it filtered the links data within my links tilelist.
How can I implement the selected item property into the repeater so that as the
user clicks on each item it is set as the selected item the way it would be in
a combobox/tilelist?
You see the problem is I have a filter function which gets applied to my links
tilelist array collection dataprovider which was previously (when I used the
combobox) set to:-
if(category.categoryid ==
categorySelectorDropdown.selectedItem.categoryid) {
return true;
}
else{
return false;
}
}
So as you can see without being able to have a selected item property I can't
use this filter function effectively :-( Sorry to be a pain but it's just that
I remember you mentioned you used a repeater which simulated a tilelist
selecteditem click and I was wondering how this could be done with my code so
the repeater we have acted in this way?

BTW. I only found one png image so I used it repeatedly. Also, I have
only one size. You should make multiple sizes and place them in the
images folder. You should also set the width and height inside the
custom component depending on the size you want (I have them hard coded
in my example). Then you would pass a size to the custom component by
exposing a public variable and use a switch statement to select the
correct size.

[flexcoders] Re: What is the Correct Type of Component For This?
Basically what I mean is I previously had a combo box populated by an array

an array collection that also contained the property category id. So therefore
when a user selected an item in the tilelist only the items that had a
categoryid which matched the category id of that selected item were shown
within the tilelist. Is this possible to implement into this new example?

[flexcoders] Re: What is the Correct Type of Component For This?
The way I would do it is to have a click event listener in the custom
component that would dispatch a custom bubbling event that the
application can listen for and handle. Modified example follows:

Ooops. That should have been MyImageComponent.mxml instead of
MyCustomComponent.mxml.
BTW, where are you from? I am an ex pat Kiwi now living in the states.

[flexcoders] Error #2014 when trying to use FileReference.save()
I've searched high and low, but cannot find ANY reference to people having this issue. This is not intermittent, happens every time, but only in one application, while another application (running same code, from a swc) can save files just fine. Here is the error itself: Error: Error #2014: Feature is not available at this time. at flash.net::FileReference/_save() at flash.net::FileReference/save() at com.active.fnd.core.controller.util::ObjectPersistenceUtil$/saveObjectToFilesystem()[D:\...\ObjectPersistenceUtil.as:82] at Function/anonymous()[C:\...\CancelRegistrationTask.as:178] at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at mx.core::UIComponent/dispatchEvent() at mx.controls.alertClasses::AlertForm/removeAlert() at mx.controls.alertClasses::AlertForm/clickHandler() The anonymous is from an Alert that I popped up, as I thought it might have something to do with the absence of a MouseEvent in the stack... alas, this did not help my dilemma. Google searches find nothing the helps, just lists of adobe error codes. TIA! -Dusty
Re: [flexcoders] Images not getting reloaded when source changes?
Simplify the test case further. Just press a button and change the image
source. Then set a breakpoint in Image.as or SWFLoader.as and see what it is
doing.

I'm trying to fix a *very* simply app. that just displays some images, and is
supposed to refresh the images when their URL parameters change. In
particular, these are supposed to be images of data tables, and the query
string specifies a table style, a text color and a border color. The tables
display correctly when loaded, but they don't respond when I change the source
URLs. I've verified that the sourceChange event is triggered. I even put the
new URL into a TextInput control, and verified that this URL works (display the
correct table) in another browser tab. But the images in the Flex app don't
ever change.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Here's the whole thing:
