Re: [flexcoders] Re: Runtime Error 1007 on a simple ProgressBar in Flex 4

[Alex Harui]

It should, but somehow the styles and skins are not being added.  In Flex 4, 
styles are per-module so if you have multpile SWFs you may have to be more 
careful.

[enridp]

You can see in his forum valdhor:
http://www.themidnightcoders.com/forum/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=3773
In fact, is really comprehensive, I love Open Source, I think the WORLD (I 
mean, economy, politics, etc not just sofware) should be open source.
But we need a way to make money to live too, they said that there's no time for 
PHP because they are not selling it (I think the last update was in 2008).
The forum is also with poor feedback, I made two questions 5 days ago and no 
body replied it.
There's only one advantage of WebOrb (PHP) over AMFPHP, it supports Flex 
Messaging. But AMFPHP is faster* and they are working in 2.0 now.

*You can see this tests of performance:
http://www.marcordo.com/2010/03/25/cual-usaras-amfphp-zend-weborb/
and
http://www.idsklijnsma.nl/weborb3amftest/

I don't know much about WebOrb, but I think it needs RemoteObject so we can't 
use it without the flex framework.
Also I don't know if it supports Sessions (transparently like AMFPHP does)

Re: [flexcoders] Cold fusion and Flex Remoting setup driving me nuts

[Brendan Meutzner]

OK... lots to answer here...

1) You can verify your gateway by simply browsing to the URL you
specified... if the page is blank, you're good to go... if you got an error,
you're not.

2) You need to place your cfc files beneath your CF webroot folder... this
is the default location for the gateway to look.

3) You need to confirm that you have a /flex folder under your
ColdFusion/wwwroot/WEB-INF/ directory... if not, then you need to look into
how to get that setup... I can't remember off the top of my head, but
there's plenty of information on setting up ColdFusion for Flex.

4) Once you get your /flex directory setup properly, there are a few files
in there you'll need to configure... a) services-config.xml, b)
remoting-config.xml.  There is also information out there on setting these
up.  Essentially, you'll need to reference an EndPoint which is defined in
these files.  There is a default one setup called ColdFusion which has a
channel setup for it already.  You really should be able to utilize the
ColdFusion endpoint automatically as soon as you have things setup, and your
CFC located within the webroot folder.


I can provide some examples for each of these areas if you still need help,
but don't have access to them on the current machine I'm writing this from.
 Let me know, and good luck!

[flexcoders] Cold fusion and Flex Remoting setup driving me nuts

[Joshua]

Hello,

I've been searching and searching for some consistent info regarding the 
complete setup required to get flex 3 to talk directly to a cfc on a REMOTE 
coldfusion server.  

I've got access to the coldfusion server admin.  

My problems.

1.  Where is the flex gateway specified (or flash)?  I see all these articles 
saying it's at www.mydomain.com/flex2gateway.  I have no idea how to verify 
that and when I do a remote call to it in flex it says

MessagingError message='Destination 'http://www.mydomain.com/flex2gateway/' 
either does not exist or the destination has no channels defined (and the 
application does not define any default channels.)']

2.  So, I couldn't find the default flex gateway so I created my own under the 
events gateway tab.  I gave it an id of flexRMS a type of CFML and pointed the 
cfc path to the cfc I want to call and set the config file to 
Coldfusion8/gateway/config/flex-data/management/gateway.cfg

I can't connect to that either

3.  If I could connect, which I can't, I need to point to a different 
components folder on the server that holds all the cfcs that I really need to 
invoke.

4.  So, I thought well maybe I need to configure my flex project and specify 
that I'm using Coldfusion as the server type.  I check Use Remote Object Access 
Service, then specify Coldfusion Flash Remoting Then I get to the page where 
I'm supposed to check between Coldfusion installation type, Standalone or 
Deployed to J2EE (I've got no idea what to do here) anything I check or fill 
out tells me that I've got no config files in the WEB-INF folder under flex 
when I click the validate Configuration.

Can somebody throw me a bone here.  Jeez

[flexcoders] Re: DataGrid | itemEditor | focus does not go to first row first column

I got the answer

add eventlistenet on the button keyFocusChange event and do the following

event.preventDefault();
grid.invalidateDisplayList();
editGrid.editedItemPosition = {rowIndex: 0, columnIndex:1}

Thanks

[flexcoders] DataGrid | itemEditor | focus does not go to first row first column

[Rajan]

Hi

I am sure most of the devlopers must have seen this sample

http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/DataGridMultiFieldEditor/DataGridMultiFieldEditorTest.swf

Challenge:
n the sample, use keyboard to tab the complete swf. After all the cell editors 
and button have recieved the focus atleast once then i noticed then focus goes 
only on buttons and one cell editor (location: last row + last column). Why 
does it not goes to first cell editor( location: first row + first column). Can 
you give any pointer how to make focus work??

I tried couple of options like
1.
grid.editedItemPosition = {rowIndex: 1, columnIndex: 1};

2.
this.focusManager.setFocus(editGrid);
editGrid.editedItemPosition = {rowIndex: 1, columnIndex: 1};

But none of them works..Any pointer will be highly apprecaited.

[flexcoders] Stacked ColumnChart DataTip [1 Attachment]

[Angelo Anolin]

I have the following data:

Below is the MXML for the chart I created

















When I hover the mouse over the stack representation for the BasisTotal, I am 
getting a number where the decimal place is 18, although in the data that I 
have,  I only have 3.

I am attaching a screenshot of the chart, with my datatip for the Basis 
displayed to provide more clarity to this problem I have.

Anyone encountered this before?

Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] actionscript + library

[Haykel BEN JEMIA]

I think you can just create a Flex Library Project and if you don't use any
Flex components then nothing from Flex will be added to the SWC.

Re: [flexcoders] DataGroup and XML problem

[Craig McLeod]

SOLVED thanks to a...@adobe

 

I changed my resultType="E4X" and then used {new
XMLListCollection(XMLList(getSpeedDialList.lastResult).chartlist)}

 

This solved the problem perfectly.

 

It's important to remember that when using E4X the first node is ignored in
your xml.

But with out the list conversion (since datagroups support Ilists and so on)
I would have been lost.

 

So all credit to Alex Harui from the Flex SDK Team

Re: [flexcoders] DataGroup and XML problem

[Craig McLeod]

Hi Alex,

 

Firstly thank you so much for your reply.

 

When I try the first option you suggested:  "{new
XMLListCollection(XMLList(getSpeedDialList.lastResult).SDLIST.charlist)} I
stop getting errors, but the item renderer shows nothing.

 

The second option pulls errors 1119 and 1118.

 

I have been searching desperately for a working example of Datagroup with
item renderers using XML as the provider, but just have not been able to
find one.

 

I welcome any advice you have.

 

Warmest regards and many thanks.

Craig
