[flexcoders] Coming from Laszlo background - anyone know some migration tips?
I've been living in the Laszlo world for a few years now, and coming around to Flex has been pretty jarring. While the languages are somewhat similar, I keep bumping into differences and am kind lost in kinda grokking Flex. Anyone know enough about both to post a comment like It's like Laszlo only with namespaces and a stricter scripting language or something like that?
[flexcoders] Games in Flex / Apollo?
I'm working on a new blog that will center around game creation using Flex and Apollo. So far it seems that everyone has focused on traditional applications using Flex. I'm hoping to shake that up a bit with not only blogging about Flex-based games but helping to create some game libraries for Flex. I was wondering if anyone here is contemplating doing any game building using Flex/Apollo.

[flexcoders] Large number of view states
I am building a complex form, where what you choose in the first dropdown menu determines whether the next control is a text field, number picker, or menu; and the choice there governs the type and options of the third control; and so on to a maximum of six input controls in a single row. The full form has thirty rows. I want to manage the appearance of the controls through states, as that seems to give me the simplest development path. Each row will be a component with a ton of view states. So here's my question: is there a recommended maximum number of states for a single component? Thanks in advance. Andrew

[flexcoders] Re: Setting preferences on the browser in the release folder
I don't know how to override the settings, but I'll tell you what I do to handle this. After I have compiled the release build for the first time, I do a save-as on the html file that was created. I save the copy as index.html, since that is what I typically use (it simplifies the url, as you probably know: if I put an index.html file in a folder 'bla' at the sight 'boo.com', its url is simply 'boo.com/bla' [unless someone has changed the server settings]). Then I adjust the index.html file, giving it the title I want and resizing the flash movie if I need to, adding metadata and so on, and save it. That's the file I post to wherever I am putting the project, along with the other generated files in the bin/release folder. When you do another 'export release build', FlashBuilder ignores index.html, so you don't have a problem with it being overwritten. I hope that helps.

[flexcoders] getting added values out of a combobox
Hi: My form has a number of fields, and I use the Change event to trigger event handlers to see whether enough fields have been populated that I should enable the Submit button. I am using a combobox for one of the fields, so users can type in a value if I have not included it in the list. However, how do I get a typed-in value back out again? When the user types in a value rather than selecting an existing one, the change handler does not recognize that the combobox's selectedIndex is -1, and there does not seem to be a label field I can check (if != null != ''). The example in Tour de Flex is not illuminating, for it only shows adding a value to a combo box, not doing anything with the value afterwards. Thanks in advance for your help. Andrew

[flexcoders] changing view state in an item renderer
Hiya:
My current project is a turn builder for a role playing game. Each turn has 30
actions, and each action may have up to 6 entry fields, which may be dropdown
menus, number spinners, text fields and like that. The actions are in a list,
rendered by a complex itemRenderer.
There are about 80 combinations of itemRenderer controls that I am managing by
view states, and that part is going very well.
Where I am puzzled is this: how do I talk to the list's itemRenderers from
parentApplication? When the turn has been assembled and submitted, I want all
30 itemRenderers to switch back to the basic viewState. I tried something like
this:
for (var i:int = 0; i 30; i++){
theList[i].itemRenderer.currentState = 'action';
}
but the system does not like it.
Any ideas how the parent application can change viewState in a list's item
renderer?
Thanks.

Use a labelFunction.
In a script block have something like this:

and then your column would have labelFunction=showTotal as an attribute.
I havent tested this code but something like this should work.

[flexcoders] Re: Tree component help - please
Hi,
Maybe try something like this:
mx:Tree nodeOpen=getNodes(event.node) /
you might want to store a reference to this node rather than using
contentMgmtTree.selectedItem.
So you script block might look like this:
public function getNodes( treeNode )
{
treeSelectedNode = treeNode;
EventBroadcaster.getInstance().broadcastEvent( getTheNodez,
treeNode.getData().oid );
}
//and for adding the nodes
public function addTreeNodeUnderSelected(treeNode:TreeNodeVO)
{
var tempNode:TreeNode = treeSelectedNode.addTreeNode( treeNode );
//or break it down even further with this
//var tempNode:TreeNode = treeSelectedNode.addTreeNode(
treeNode.label, treeNode );
if( treeNode.hasChildren == true )
{
tempNode.setProperty( 'isBranch', true, true );
}
else
{
tempNode.setProperty( 'isBranch', false, true );
}
}
The only real difference is that I store a reference to the selected
node from the nodeOpen event using event.node. This is then what I
would use to add the child nodes to.
See how that goes.

My ViewHelper adds the Root node like this (which works ):
public function addRootTreeNode(treeNode:TreeNodeVO) : Void {
view.contentMgmtTree.removeAll();
var node:Object = view.contentMgmtTree.addTreeNode(treeNode);
if( treeNode.hasChildren == true ) {
view.contentMgmtTree.setIsBranch(node,true);
}
}
when I open the tree node, I make another remote call to get the
children as an Array of TreeNodeVO objects.
The ViewHelper method to add the other nodes under the opened node
looks like:
public function addTreeNodeUnderSelected(treeNode:TreeNodeVO) : Void {
trace(treeNode: + treeNode.toString());
var node:Object =
view.contentMgmtTree.selectedItem.addTreeNode(treeNode);
if( treeNode.hasChildren == true ) {
view.contentMgmtTree.setIsBranch(node,true);
}
}
what I see happening is the root node renders correctly as a folder
with the right label. When I open the folder the server is returning
the correct array of TreeNodeVO objects but what is rendered under the
root node is a document icon ( which is correct ) but with the label
[type Function],[type Function],...
Can someone please point me in the right direction on the correct way
to add nodes that DO NOT use the XML model?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hey Scott, I had to deal with a similar scenario a while ago and posted a solution on flexdaddy http://www.flexdaddy.info/2005/06/16/strongly-type-a-cf-return-using-cairngorm/ Let me know if that is what you're kinda after ;-) Cheers, Andrew Spaulding www.flexdaddy.info --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Scott Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've come across a small annoyance (easily fixed) but one that kind of triggered an initial extra level of development.

Except the property character casing popped its ugly head up the moment I switch my SELECT xyz to SELETC xYZ. Suddenly a basic Datagrid i was using appeared blank. I've since stopped that, and basically cleanses the dataproviders via my commands.. ie: onResult = iterate over the queryset, create an array of VO per queryRow while forcing each initial property key to be uppercase.. basically its a cleansing procedure before storing that data for re-use through out my views / shared dataproviders etc. Has anyone else done this? what techniques have been implemented? as its quite annoying to have mixed results from CFMX to FLEX in terms of data (especially when querys and structs are concerned).

[flexcoders] Re: Null Form
Hey Jesse, I've taken a quick look, and couldn't see why you need to override the getters and setters for the id property in CreateListItem.mxml I commented out lines 12, and 18 - 28 of CreateListItem.mxml and it seems to function as required now. The component no longer returns null/undefined but rather your debug output says this: initWizard createTodoList_form: _level0._obj0._HBox1.createTodoList_form createListItem_form: _level0._obj0._HBox1.createListItem_form seems to work fine ;-) hope that helps, Andrew Spaulding www.flexdaddy.info --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, JesterXL [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am having problems with a form component. Apparently, it is null after childrenCreated, even though I can see it with my own 2 eyes. Additionally, the click event it generates allows me to target it via the event_obj.target, but it still traces out null if you trace it from the component it's hosted in. At first I thought it was a ViewStack, but upon removal, same thing. I've switched the order with another form right next to it, and even changed everyone's creationPolicy = all, all to no avail. I'm at a loss; this negatively affects my bindings getter/setters since it's not working correctly.

{
Alert.show( Are you sure?,

For the linkbar try the disabledColor style.
The tab label is a little more difficult as it doesn't have a similar
disabled style property. You wll have to write a change event handler
that would manually set the styles on the individual tabs.
Something to the effect of -
mx:TabNavigator id=tabNav change=changeTabColor(event) /
function changeTabColor( event:Object ) : Void
{
if( event.prevValue != undefined )
{
var tab = tabNav[tabBar].getChildAt( event.prevValue );
tab.setStyle( 'color', 0x00 );
}
if( event.newValue != undefined )
{
var tab = tabNav[tabBar].getChildAt( event.newValue );
tab.setStyle( 'color', 0xFF );
}
}
But then you will also need to manually handle the mouseOver events as
well because the white label color doesnt effect the mouse over
highlights.
Hopefully this will give you a heads up ;-)

[flexcoders] Re: Is there a LinkBar style similar to activeTab for tabNavigator
The closest thing I can think of (without looking into it) would be
the disabledColor attribute of the LinkBar control. The currently
active link in the LinkBar is disabled and will take on the
disabledColor attribute.
To what extent did you want to style the active link?

I agree. I don't think the Enterprise services is something that an ISP will install. You could look into an ISP that supports java hosting and just deploy your flex app as a war file.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Forcing Recompile in production mode
There is a way, it seems somewhat backwards and im sure there a re better methods but this is what I did. 1. Change the servers flex config file and set production mode to false. 2. Restart flex 3.

Once you are happy that it has implemented these changes and no further changes are required alter the flex config file and set production mode to true and restart again.

RE: [flexcoders] Custom dg validator
Title: Custom dg validator
Gary,
I put your code into a sample application.
For me, it returned a validation error for any value that is put into the
TextInput object. I modified your code to get validation working, although
it is still ignoring the colName variable. I am not sure where that value
is being set or what it represents. How is this being used? Are you
using it as a custom implementation for a normal mx:TextInput object, or are
you using it as a custom cell renderer for a mx:DataGrid object?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Adding a child to a vbox
I would try something like this
for ( var i:Number=0;iresult.length;i++){
var

var
myCanvas:Canvas = createChild(mx.containers.Canvas, '', initProps);
initProps={text:myCanvas.id};
myCanvas.createChild(mx.controls.Label,

}
I have had better luck using createChild
rather than addChild. I have also encountered problems when trying to set
an id when using createChild, and have had better luck letting flex assign an
id automatically. I have been using Flex 1.5, so I dont know for
certain whether this would work for you in F2B2, but its worth a try.

It will make things easier to follow, plus I'm not sure
mainBox.newGrid

otherwise
you have to do getChildByName or something like that.

[flexcoders] Wrapping LinkBar in Flex 1.5 ??
Hello Flexcoders, I have an instance of a LinkBar object that has the result of a http service as its dataProvider. Thus, its dynamic... My problem is that if there are a large number of results in the http service, the LinkBar grows and extends beyond the area of its parent container rather than wrapping to another line. Has anyone else run into this issue? If so, is there an easy workaround? I have looked at the Flex API docs, and it doesnt mention this anywhere that I have found. The solution that I am thinking: use a canvas, and create a function that will take the http service result as a parameter. The function will loop over the service result add Link objects to it using createChild. Anyone else have ideas on this one? I have also considered using a Tile object, but I dont necessarily want the spacing to be perfect columns. Let me know if anyone has a different workaround!

What URL are you using to download the

What is the URL for your web service?
Even if the swf and web service are on the
same host but the host names do not match perfectly, you will get this kind of
failure. If the web service is on a different host, you will need to place a
crossdomain.xml file at the root of the web server where the web services are

We have tried placing in many subfolders under the root folder

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex and Server-Side Technology Recommendations
Exactly. ColdFusion is an alternative to .NET and J2EE (although ColdFusion can actually work together with both). You develop most of your code in an XML-based scripting language: CFML. It is very easy to learnand very quick to develop powerful dynamic applications. Another benefit of using ColdFusion (7.0.2) is that it has a lot of wizards that are available to you that enable automatic code generation. You have to install the ColdFusion extensions for Flex builder in order to see these options. There are wizards that can automatically generate ColdFusion Components(CFCs) and Flex forms based off of your database schema. More detail on CF can befound on adobe's site: http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/ You can really use any server side technology that you want... Java can communicate with Flexvia FDS (Flex Data Services), Web Services, or XML over HTTP .NET can communicate with Flex via Web Services or XML over HTTP. There is also something called webOrb, which is supposed to be similar to remote objects for .NET (I cannot vouch for this, I have never used it). PHP can communicate with Flex via XML over HTTP, Web Services, or AMFPHP I'm sure that there is a way to do this using Ruby/Ruby on Rails. ... and this is not the definitive list. There are plenty of other solutions out there. If you are already familiar with a specific web-based technology,then there's a good chance that you can use it to power a flex interface. Each technology has its advantages, disadvantages, and price tags. -Andy From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com on behalf of Tim HoffSent: Mon 7/17/2006 5:59 PMTo: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: [flexcoders] Re: Flex and Server-Side Technology Recommendations Thanks Andy,So CF would replace ASP.Net as the middle tier.

RE: [flexcoders] Problem to embed a JSP page in Flex
The unfortunate reality is that there is no easy workaround for this. If the iframe method of Chrisophe Coenraets doesnt work for you, then you are going to have to display the graph jpg inside of flex, and move the _javascript_ logic into your flex application. If you move the _javascript_ logic into flex, you eliminate _javascript_ from the picture altogether, thus simplifying your application. You may find a solution with DENG, but I wouldnt bet on it. I took a quick look at their examples, but it did not load any of the image links in the XML feed that I tested with it. -Andy _ Andrew Trice Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 866-CYNERGY From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Serguey, Shinder Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 8:00 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Problem to embed a JSP page in Flex Yes I think is is truly necessary.

Your camera.get also isnt right. Try doing something like this: localCamera1 = Camera.getCamera(Camera.names[0]); localCamera2 = Camera.getCamera(Camera.names[1]); I remember reading a post on flexcoders a while back saying there was a bug in Flash 9 release candidate 15 (9.0.15).

RE: [flexcoders] Camera.get([index]); useing mutiple cameras
I only have one camera, so I never tried it. Ive got flash player 9.0.16, but it looks like the error is still happening (although I found a workaround). I changed my code to: var arr: Array = Camera.names; trace(arr[0]); camera = Camera.getCamera(arr[0]); trace(Camera.getCamera(arr[0].toString())); and it returned null every time. I also started playing with it and did this trace(Camera.getCamera(0)); camera = Camera.getCamera(0); and it gave a valid reference to the camera. Try using the string representation of the camera index, instead of the camera name.

RE: [flexcoders] Passing an id to a function?
I think what you really want to do is pass
a reference to the element, not the string id of the element.
Change your function signature to:
private function displayDate(date:Date, displayTo:Label):void
{
Then, just pass a refferce to your label
mx:Label id=myLabel
/
mx:Button click=displayDate(new
Date(),myLabel) /

RE: [flexcoders] Returning XML from CFMX with AMF0
It is probably processing the entire
result as a string. When you get the result back from the remoteObject
call, set the dataProvider of your tree to a new xml object created using the
string value of your result.
Something like this
mx:Script
![CDATA[
private
function handleResult( result:Object ) : void
{
myTree.dataProvider
= new XML( result.toString() );
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:RemoteObject
result=handleResult(event.result) /

Returning XML from CFMX with AMF0
As an additional note - it is taking my entire XML

it the label of a single root node.
Like: [foldericon] myEntireXMLDocAsText
The XML object I'm creating in CF is using the the CF xml functions.
Perhaps I should just scrap that and return a string.

I'm forced to deal with AMF0 for a particular project and I'm trying to
pull some XML from a CFC that worked perfectly in Flex 1.5 as a
dataprovider of a tree component.
Now, it seems to want to treat my returned XML an XML document with one
node = the one node being the XML object returned from CF. I've been
hacking around trying to deal wit this - but no dice. Any advice?

RE: [Junk E-Mail - LOW] [flexcoders] Re: Choice of backend systems - which provides
OK, so Ive watching this thread going back and forth over and over Now its time for my two cents. It looks like this thread began by someone saying that you cannot use web services in a real world flex application. Ive got to agree with Dave on this. You definitely can, and we have done it numerous times here at Cynergy. Are there tradeoffs? Yes. As others have said already in the post: The decision on what mechanism to use should be dealt with on a case by case basis. Lets consider a few things: Do the web services already exist and can they handle the current load? If they do, use them. Why reinvent the wheel? Yes, there is a performance advantage to using AMF, but most users will not notice the difference in transport speed it is fractions of a second. If your application is properly architected and your backend is optimized, the end user will never know the difference. I personally like using remote objects, but not every solution allows for this. In the cases where you cannot use remote objects, web services still work great. SOAP is a very verbose protocol, but by no means is it unusable. If that were the case, why would web services be so prevalent? Why would there be all the buzz about service oriented architectures? If you feel that a web service is too verbose or too slow, and you cant use remote objects, then use a HTTPService to return XML. There are many solutions. It really all boils down to how you use and retrieve your data and depends on your requirements and application architecture. If the processing time on the server is too much for your application to handle, then chances are there is a problem with your applications back end, not the webservice/serialization layer. To generalize and say that you should never use a web service is a very big mistake. -Andy _ Andrew Trice Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 866-CYNERGY From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Jack Caldwell Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2006 10:40 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Junk E-Mail - LOW] [flexcoders] Re: Choice of backend systems - which provides Martin: OK . . . . so the lag time is when the data gets back to the end-user?

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Accessibility - TextInput Component
A bunch of questions: What version of JAWS? Do you have the JAWS scripts installed? (http://www.adobe.com/macromedia/accessibility/features/flex/jaws.html) Try hitting ins+f5 - is your info in this list? Do you know about forms mode and virtual PC cursor mode in JAWS? You will get some different information out of the controls in each mode. To enter forms mode, navigate to the textinput and hit enter - jaws will say "Forms mode on". Background info: Virtual PC cursor mode is when JAWS navigates through the off-screen model that it constructs for its own purposes. when in this mode (this is the mode that users are in when they enter a page) JAWS listens to the keypresses made by the user, acts on some of them and passes some on to the browser/player (this is a bit of a simplification). JAWS uses many keystrokes - "f" is used by JAWS to move the virtual focus to the next form control, right arrow reads the next character, down arrow reads the next line, etc. If a user wants to enter text into a control such as a textInput, or use arrow keys to switch the active tab in a tabnavigator, they need to be in forms mode. Forms mode allows user keystrokes to pass through to the player/browser. Additional navigation of the content (e.g. reading line by line through non-focusable objects) is not possible, and the user's interaction model is basically identical to that of a keyboard-only user. let me know if this helps, AWK Andrew KirkpatrickCorporate Accessibility Engineering LeadAdobe Systems From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike ShawSent: Monday, November 06, 2006 6:12 PMTo: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: [flexcoders] Flex Accessibility - TextInput Component Hi, we are building a financial calculator app in flex 2 which is required to be accessible.

And as a plus Apollo is cross platform where needless to say the few Linux/mac people that were there were not impressed with the windows only capability but talking with a couple saying that Apollo could do the same things but also work on Linux/mac machine I must say it really made their day. While Apollo's future will obviously go far beyond just simple widgets this just seems to be how Microsoft lined up their development demos showing mainly a few gadgets and bunch of look what happens to the button when I click on it.

RE: [flexcoders] Databinding Custom Event
The benefit is that your getter function will be bound to that event, so
any time that event is dispatched, the data binding is updated. In this
example, it doesn't really stand out that this is a great thing. Let's
say that there is also a get lastname function that is similar to your
firstname function, and add an updateNames function, so we have this...
[Bindable(event=MyEvent)]
public function set firstname(value:String):void
{
_firstname = value;
dispatchEvent( new FlexEvent('MyEvent') );
}
public function get firstname():String
{
return _firstname;
}
private var _firstname:String;
[Bindable(event=MyEvent)]
public function set lastname(value:String):void
{
_lastname = value;
dispatchEvent( new FlexEvent('MyEvent') );
}
public function get lastname ():String
{
return _lastname;
}
private var _lastname:String;
public function updateNames ( myUpdateObject : Object ):void
{
_firstname = myUpdateObject.firstname;
_lastname = myUpdateObject.lastname
dispatchEvent( new FlexEvent('MyEvent') );
}
The updateNames function dispatches a single event, which updates the
bindings on both of your getter functions. Now, the real benefit of
set functions is that you can programmatically execute code when a
value is updated. Your names example doesn't take full advantage of the
capabilities. The set function is better suited for when you have
other functions that should be executed any time that your set is
updated.
[Bindable(event=MyEvent)]
public function set firstname(value:String):void
{
_firstname = value;
//execute some code here
doSomething();
doSomethingElse();
doAnotherThing();
dispatchEvent( new FlexEvent('MyEvent') );
}
In this example, the data binding gets updated after the other functions
have been executed. This technique is VERY useful when developing flex
components. For instance, you can have a function on a custom component
that extends a text box such as:
override public function set text( value : String ) : void
And you want other properties to be updated when text has been updated,
so you setup your set function like this:
override public function set text( value : String ) : void
{
this.updated = true;
resetComponentState();
super.text = value;
}
Hope that helps,
-Andy

Subject: [flexcoders] Databinding Custom Event
Hey,
What if any benefits are there to defining a custom event type for your
databinding?
ie:
[Bindable(event=MyEvent)]
public function set firstname(value:String):void
{
_firstname = value;
dispatchEvent( new FlexEvent('MyEvent') );
}
public function get firstname():String
{
return _firstname;
}
private var _firstname:String;
vs
[Bindable]
public var lastname:String;

Bjorn
RE: [flexcoders] Styling in Flex is officially ridiculous
I can't answer any of that for Adobe, but here is some input. Granted, I agree that it should be a default css property that can be easilty changed... It actually can be done without a ton of work. The easiest way to do that is to copy modify the halo ButtonSkin class, and use it as a custom skin on your button. Just modify the updateDisplayList function so that it draws the gradient rectangles on top of each other, without the pixel offset for the border, when calling the drawRoundRect functions. Search for the string // button fill in that class, and you will see the areas that need to be updated. You don't need to subclass the button at all. You can find the halo skins as a reference at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 2\Flex SDK 2\frameworks\source\mx\skins\halo I have more info on skinning flex apps at https://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice?entry=making_flex_ less_flex_like Hope that helps, -Andy _ Andrew Trice Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 866-CYNERGY From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ben.clinkinbeard Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 10:52 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Styling in Flex is officially ridiculous OK.

Oh yeah...
If he is talking about the actual button border, that is the skin and he
needs to create a new skin. The button does not have borders, it has
skins. It dosn't even share the same characteristics of a Container that
has a border. These are not the same things.
So, Ben, what do you mean when you say the Button's border? Or, what do
you want...

Andy,
It answers his question and it does work.
If the label is present, you click on the label and the Button functions
correctly.
I don't know what he is aiming for here but, if you 'don't' have a
border, there is no other hit area specified for the component. So, how
are you going to get mouse events from a component that dosn't have a
hit area?
Bottom line is, this approach does work if you plan to use a label,
other than this, why would you want a button without a label and border
if you want to click on it?

Andy,
myComponent.setStyle(alpha, .5);
Whay do you use setStyle()? Since alpha is a property, this just seems
to use more overhead by calling two methods instead of one.
Since all UIComponent implement IUIComponent that extends
IFlexDisplayObject that declares alpha, you even have a straight forward
interface into the component.
IUIComponent(myComponent).alpha = 0.5;
Just curoius,

RE: [flexcoders] Posting PNG to server
If you are using AMF3 (RemoteObject), you can serialize binary data
without any conversion. If you are trying a standard HTTP post, I would
use a HTTPService with the method= POST. Then you have to Base64
encode the binary data and attach it to the parameters of the http
service. On the server side, you will need to decode the base64 encoded
data back into binary.
Example:
mx:HTTPService
id=httpService
showBusyCursor=true
useProxy=false
method=POST
resultFormat=text
url=/BinaryData/cf/HTTPImageSave.cfm
result=onResult('Data Saved via mx:HTTPService')
fault=onFault(event) /
private function base64Encode( data : ByteArray ) : String
{
var encoder : Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
encoder.encodeBytes( data );
return encoder.flush();
}
private function sendData() : void
{
var data : ByteArray = encoder.encode( myPngByteArray );
var params : Object = { data : base64Encode( data ) };
httpService.send( params );
}
In ColdFusion, you can decode the base64 data simply by using the
toBinary function. Other languages have similar functions as well.
Just a FYI... using the JPG instead of PNG requires significantly less
bandwidth time to post the data to the server. Base64 encoding the
data also increases the size of the data being transferred across the
wire. It is much more efficient to use a remoteObject method with
JPG-compressed data.

RE: [flexcoders] Newbie question: Datagrid and a WS
In your case, you need to fire the event that sets the source of the
image whenever the data to the cellrenderer is changed. Not on creation
complete. You can do this two ways:
1) bind the source of the image tag to the data :
mx:Image source={ data.file_name } /
2) Override the set data function to update the image source
whenever the data has been updated.
I would go with #1 first.

RE: [flexcoders] Init image with binary xml node
You need to Base64 encode the binary data. Once encoded, it is treated
as a text string, and can be embedded within an xml document. You also
need to keep in mind that Base64 encoding data also increases the size
of the data. When you are retrieving data out of the xml, you will need
to decode the base64-encoded data back into its binary form.
private function base64Encode( data : ByteArray ) : String
{
var encoder : Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
encoder.encodeBytes( data );
return encoder.flush();
}
Hope that helps,

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Exporting Charts as Image
Glad my blog entry helped. :-)
You can use the as3 PNGEncoder or JPGEncoder libraries at
http://code.google.com/p/as3corelib/ to do the image format conversion
within the flex application. You can post it to a server using either
remoting, web service, or http service. Remoting/AMF3 is fastest and
easiest, but the other methods work well too. Remoting does not require
any base64 conversion for the binary data; you can send it across the
wire as is.
-Andy
This is from a previous post I wrote here on flexcoders...
If you are using AMF3 (RemoteObject), you can serialize binary data
without any conversion. If you are trying a standard HTTP post, I would
use a HTTPService with the method= POST. Then you have to Base64
encode the binary data and attach it to the parameters of the http
service. On the server side, you will need to decode the base64 encoded
data back into binary.
Example:
mx:HTTPService
id=httpService
showBusyCursor=true
useProxy=false
method=POST
resultFormat=text
url=/BinaryData/cf/HTTPImageSave.cfm
result=onResult('Data Saved via mx:HTTPService')
fault=onFault(event) /
private function base64Encode( data : ByteArray ) : String
{
var encoder : Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
encoder.encodeBytes( data );
return encoder.flush();
}
private function sendData() : void
{
var data : ByteArray = encoder.encode( myPngByteArray );
var params : Object = { data : base64Encode( data ) };
httpService.send( params );
}
In ColdFusion, you can decode the base64 data simply by using the
toBinary function. Other languages have similar functions as well.
Just a FYI... using the JPG instead of PNG requires significantly less
bandwidth time to post the data to the server. Base64 encoding the
data also increases the size of the data being transferred across the
wire. It is much more efficient to use a remoteObject method with
JPG-compressed data.

Thanks Brendan! I was indeed looking in the Language Reference

In the last section of the Andrew Trice tutorial he's doing pretty
much what I'd like to do, but he doesn't supply the source. The piece
that I think I need is how to handle the data sent from Flex on the
ColdFusion side (i.e., how to create the JPG from a ByteArray sent
from Flex). Has anyone seen any tutorials or documentation on this?
