Baked.  Final inspections, packaging, loading up the truck...  Unless the truck 
gets in an accident or a rat eats through the packaging, the truck will leave 
the loading dock shortly and deliver the goods.

I'm loading XML via URLLoader to configure a mock API implementation and am

I'm loading XML via URLLoader to configure a mock API implementation and am

[flexcoders] Re: Addressing SERIOUS Flash Player issues

[Florian]

Well, all i could say was, that it crashed... Charles was showing me some 
possibilties. I cleaned my Libraries/Preferences/.../#SharedObjects Folder, 
reinstalled the player a few times (like 5 times) and now i was able to get 
proper error messages (see link below if you are interessted). It was like the 
SWF was polling in an enterFrame handler... that was scary.

But: i want to know why all other flash websites seemed to be affected. The 
flash player was somehow caching the state of a LocalConnection instance, which 
was causing the trouble.

Any ideas?

[flexcoders] Re: Binding checkbox item renderer with XMLList item

[md_ars]

Hello Asif,

Following code can answer your first two questions however for third question 
you need to read and understand Item Renders that I have used in my code too. I 
used the source from http://techmytongue.blogspot.com/ for my Itemrender and 
modified little bit.


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute" 
creationComplete="initApp()" xmlns:local="*">







   
 Smith 
 25 
 true 
   
   
John 
28 
true 
   
   
 Roger 
 30 
 false 
   
   
 Andy 
 20 
 false 
   
   
 Kim 
 18 
 true 
   
















Also create CheckBoxItemRender Class as given below

package
{
import mx.containers.Canvas;
import mx.controls.CheckBox;
import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridListData;
import mx.controls.listClasses.BaseListData;
import mx.controls.listClasses.IDropInListItemRenderer;

public class CheckBoxItemRender extends Canvas implements 
IDropInListItemRenderer
{
private var _listData:DataGridListData;
private var _instanceCheckBox:CheckBox = new CheckBox();
private var _currentDataFieldName:String = new String();

public function CheckBoxItemRender()
{
super();
}

   override public function set data(value:Object):void {
super.data = value;
_instanceCheckBox.data=value[_listData.dataField];
if(value[_listData.dataField] ==true){
_instanceCheckBox.selected=true
}
else if(value[_listData.dataField] ==false){
_instanceCheckBox.selected=false
}   
}

public function get listData():BaseListData
{
return _listData;
}

public function set listData(value:BaseListData):void
{
_listData = DataGridListData(value); 
}

override protected function createChildren():void {
super.createChildren();
addChild(_instanceCheckBox);
}

   }
}

Let me know if helps you.

Thanks

Hi Alex,


the component hierarchy:

There is no specific layout applied, since an absolute positioning is required. 
Now when setting the positions of  elements programmatically with the 
API of the ILayoutElement interface, the width and height values are not set 
properly for the contentGroup. contentWidth and contentHeight have the right 
values. I have to register an event handler for FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE and 
invalidate the contentGroup again. After the additional invalidation cycle, 
width and height are set as expected.

I'll post an example tomorrow.

I know this is not primarily a Flash Player, but an ActionScript/Flex forum but 
could some Adobe employees please forward this message:

Please make sure that my browser won't crash when a broken SWF is loaded or a 
runtime errors occur.

Also: i experienced the crash a few hours ago the first time, i guess it was a

Is the player cashing old SWFs? If so, where to delete the files?

Re: [flexcoders] removeEventListener - is it important?

[Alex Harui]

A.addEventListener(“someEvent”, B.someHandler)

Adds a reference from A to B so that A can know the which object’s someHandler 
to call.  If A and B are the same or B is a child of A it can’t cause a memory 
leak and thus the listener does not need to be removed.  If A is a parent of B 
or is closer to a GC root than B then you can have problems.

No need to clean the poop out of the diaper if you are going to toss the whole 
diaper.

Is it not important to clear up after yourself?...

removes references to objects so that they can be cleared from memory." -

So; when I create a DateField, a number of event handlers are attached to it, 
so if I remove that DateField from the stage, are the event handlers still 
attached and therefore the DateField is referenced by these handlers and 
therefore won't get GD'd ?

Mmmm

I’m pretty sure that won’t work.  Also, the release player won’t output to the

Is the 3rd party SWF a Flex SWF changing states via Flex?  I would think there 
are other ways to trap when it changes.

specify your own function for trace. I haven't tried this, but maybe if you 
redefine the trace() in HaXe, then it will override the default tracing 
method... I also think that in AS2 you could redefine it through AsNative.
But I'm sure that other than that you cannot read from the output stream of 
another SWF with SWF.

[flexcoders] Binding checkbox item renderer with XMLList item

Let we have following data in xml form.


       Smith     25     true 
   
       John     28     true 
   

       Roger     30     false 
   

       Andy     20     false 
   

       Kim     18     false 
   


1 - How do i create XMLList from this xml at design time in action script.2- 
Use this XMLList object as data provider of datagrid.3- How to bind isselected 
item of xml with checkbox. 


  

Re: [flexcoders] removeEventListener - is it important?

[Oleg Sivokon]

Well, it's really hard to tell since all those objects inherit from
UIComponent and it has almost every method overridden and to tell you the
truth I just don't know what happens when these handlers are added or
removed. I think in every particular case only the profiler will tell what
is really happening.
That is, the display objects may not be disposed after they are removed from
stage and may be stored for the later use. Think of TabNavigarot for
example, the components on each tab will be removed and then re-added to
 stage once every time you switch the tab and so on. What I mean it's not
like in .NET for example, where once you have disposed a component you have
nothing to do with it but just throw it away. Some basic Flash object have a
way to explicitly free their resources, like BitmapData, TextLine or XML (in
AIR), but you cannot explicitly dispose the resource used by display objects
and Flex framework doesn't do anything in that regard.

Re: [flexcoders] removeEventListener - is it important?

[Nick Middleweek]

Hi Oleg,

Thanks for the reply... I think it's important too but can't understand why
the DateField Class in the Flex SDK doesn't do it?

Digging a little deeper... Here's the Constructor of the DateField...

/**
 *  Constructor.
 */
public function DateField()
{
  super();
  addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, removedFromStageHandler);
}


The removedFromStageHandler() function, seems to be doing some clean ups, so
I guess that's kind of like it's .dispose() method.

If you are adding handlers to events dispatched by the objects that are

[flexcoders] removeEventListener - is it important?

[Nick Middleweek]

Hi,

I'm trying to get my head into the Flex (3) component architecure and am
reading through the source code of mx.controls.DateField. I've noticed quite
a calls (eight of them) to addEventListener but there are none to
removeEventListener.

Is it not important to clear up after yourself?...

"It is a good idea to remove any handlers that will no longer be used. This
removes references to objects so that they can be cleared from memory." -
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=events_05.html


So; when I create a DateField, a number of event handlers are attached to
it, so if I remove that DateField from the stage, are the event handlers
still attached and therefore the DateField is referenced by these handlers
and therefore won't get GD'd ?

Mmmm


Cheers,
Nick

Uh huh. That's a bug in older Players, iirc. If you look at the network 
traffic it'll actually be transferring.
