[flexcoders] domainMemory in FP10?
Does anybody know what domainMemory does in Flash Player 10? I was just looking through the new APIs, and I came across this: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/system/ApplicationDomain.html#domainMemory The description is more than a little cryptic: Gets and sets the object on which domain-global memory operations will operate within this ApplicationDomain I haven't been able to find any more information on this, and I'm just curious on what it does. -Brian

[flexcoders] Flex 3 SWCs within CS3, again
Can you use framework-less Flex 3 SWCs within CS3? I assumed that you could do this if the compatibility-version flag was used and you didn't use any of the Flex framework. I haven't been able to get this to work, however. I asked about this about a month ago and the all-knowing Matt Chotin said it should work, so I'm hoping there's something I'm missing. A colleague of mine, Crystal West, created this example to show the issue: http://deitte.com/swc_test.zip The example has two SWCs within it, one created using Flash Authoring and one created using Flex 3. Try compiling swc_test.fla with just flash_bc_ads.swc in the same directory (that is, remove flex_bc_ads.swc). The fla should compile fine. Then try with just flex_bc_ads.swc. You should get compile errors related to AdTranslator class, etc. She tried a lot of variations on compiling with flex_bc_ads.swc, and nothing worked. flex_bc_ads.swc was built using the compatibility flag and doesn't use any of the Flex framework. She also tried compiling the Flex SWC using compute-digest=false (as recommended by Tim Walling http://timwalling.com/2007/10/22/compiling-flash-cs3-compatible-swcs-with-flex). That didn't work either, and, according to some of the comments on this blog post, didn't work for others. Any suggestions?
Re: [flexcoders] Compiler Extension point
Yeah, the only way you can add a new compiler extension is through the code. Although it doesn't seem too hard to add a non-code extension mechanism, a way to read in classes to instantiate and use from an XML file somewhere. -Brian On Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 8:01 AM, Marvin Froeder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi folks, I was looking at flex SDK sources.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Data caching dto's
This message is probably too late, but I'll answer anyways. If you're just trying to compare ten objects at a time, I'd just use the Array technique that you described. Assuming you need to do a deep equality check, just use ObjectUtil.equals() (or something like that, it's in the Flex framework). Comparing 10 (or 100) objects, assuming you're only comparing each object to one other object, shouldn't be very intensive. -Brian On Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 11:45 AM, flexaustin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Actually obtaining the data isn't the issue.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: ASDoc for MXML components?
They used a dummy AS class and put the documentation in it. You can ASDoc with MXML, but it doesn't work well.

[flexcoders] relative paths in the Source paths of Flex Builder
Does anybody know how to create a relative path in the Additional source folders section of Flex Builder? These are for paths outside of the main project path. I would be fine with a way which involves changing the project files directly, which I tried to do. I also tried adding the source paths as source-path parameters in the Additional compiler arguments, but then auto-complete breaks. Without relative paths, I can't create projects files that can be used by a team without changes. It's not that a big deal for me, but a bit annoying. -Brian

RE: [flexcoders] Tamarin, Adobe open source the Flash player ?
My messages tend to show up very slowly, so this may be answered by the time it appears, but the AVM2 doesn't need to understand all the bytecodes (or rather all the tags) of Flash. It only understands the AVM2 format, which is one tag within the Flash format. It's a really big tag, of course, but the code won't be able to understand FlashType tags, etc, by itself- it does this through an interface with the rest of the Player code. -Brian -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Chiverton Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 8:50 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Tamarin, Adobe open source the Flash player ?

RE: [flexcoders] Tamarin, Adobe open source the Flash player ?
Sort of... a better example may be creating your own Flex component, AVMPlus. This component depends on player.swc. The player.swc has some methods (like 'give me a font name') which the AVMPlus component calls. AVMPlus doesn't, however, need to know how player.swc gets this information. The player.swc code gets this information by parsing tags, but again, the AVMPlus doesn't care about this. As we all know, you don't need to have the source to player.swc in order to run AVMPlus. Rather the compiler can figure out the dependencies at compile-time, and at runtime the AVMPlus and player.swc code all work fine together. There's also a known list of methods that are used by AVMPlus from player.swc. These methods don't need to come from player.swc- it's just where they happen to come from now. If you wanted, you could also provide your own version of player.swc... which in this case, we'd call mozilla.swc. Ok, and now I've taken my break from programming. I hope you enjoyed my coffee-infused metaphor. :) -Brian -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Chiverton Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 10:46 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Tamarin, Adobe open source the Flash player ?

RE: [flexcoders] x, y, width, and height in CSS
Hi Igor, yeah I did think about that when I read Manish's article, but I didn't like the idea of altering UIComponent rather using my own, extended components. It seemed too likely that I could do something wrong, and I didn't like the idea of updating a piece that everyone on the team has to remember about when dealing with Flex hotfixes or updates. But given the benefit that this could provide for the designer, I probably should quit my worrying. :) And assuming that x/y/width/height are showing up in CSS in the update, this is a great short-term solution.

Hi Mike, thanks for the response. I do have a
solution now, based on Dirk's example (http://www.richinternet.de/blog/index.cfm?mode=entryentry=ADD4FDD1-9B48-BFBC-2A70F3C57EBC6892),
but I would be interested in knowing what I was doing wrong. I was doing
something I saw in the framework for Application, and subclassing
ProgrammaticSkin and using it in CSS as a background-image. The skin would
have to have the measuredWidth/measuredHeight, as previously mentioned, and
here's the a simplified version of the updateDisplayList()
method:
override protected function
updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number):void
{ super.updateDisplayList(w,
h);
// FIXME: override Application to add
styles for all values below, then getStyle() for each //
one and set in CSS
var g:Graphics = graphics;
g.clear();
// set width and height to dimensions we want for this
gradient
w = 916; h =
16; var fillColors:Array = [0xF7F7F7,
0xD5D5D5]; var fillAlphas:Array = [1,
1];
drawRoundRect(x, y, w, h, null, fillColors, fillAlphas,
verticalGradientMatrix(x, y, w, h));
}
And
this works fine, but again only if the measuredWidth/measuredHeight is
set. So after seeing Dirk's code, I tried changingone skin over to
extend HaloBorder, not set the measuredWidth/measuredHeight, and then use the
skin in CSS as a border-skin. This works, I'm happy to say. It does
feel a little strange to me, that I'm using something called "border-skin" but
I'm doing things in the middle of a canvas. Is this part normal or should
I be using a background-image?

love withwhat you do at quietlyscheming.com.I'm a beginner with
extending components in AS and I admit that Idon't yet fully understand the
display hierarchy and the componentlive cycle.I wanted to extend the
canvas to allow gradient, using the fillCollorand fillAlpha
styles.So I did something like this, based on an example from the docs.
(Iskip the style management code and give you onli the update
method)package{[...]// Define the variable to hold the
current gradient fill colors.private var fillColorsData:Array;//
Define the flag that indicates a change to fillColors.private var
bFillColorsChanged:Boolean = true;// Define variables for
additional controls on the fill.// You can create style properties for these
as well.private var alphas:Array = [0.8, 0.2];private var ratios:Array =
[0x00, 0xFF];// Constructor public function MyCanvas()
{super(); } [...]override public function
styleChanged(styleProp:String):void
{super.styleChanged(styleProp);// Check to see if style
changed. if (styleProp=="fillColors" ||
styleProp=="fillAlphas") {//bFillColorsChanged=true;
invalidateDisplayList();return;}}// Override
updateDisplayList() to update the component // based on the style
setting.override protected
functionupdateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void
{super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
// Check to see if style changed. if
(bFillColorsChanged==true) {// Redraw gradient fill only if style
changed.fillColorsData = getStyle("fillColors");alphas =
getStyle("fillAlphas");var m:Matrix = new
Matrix();m.createGradientBox(unscaledWidth,unscaledHeight,-1.57,0,0);graphics.clear();graphics.beginGradientFill(GradientType.LINEAR,fillColorsData,
alphas,ratios,m); graphics.drawRoundRect(0,
0,unscaledWidth,unscaledHeight,Number(getStyle("cornerRadius")));
It works great, but I wanted to be able to
specifi the colors,alphasand ratios easier. Then I've found LinearGradient
and IFill, that wereused in charts to easily pass those values.I
went a bit though the docs and the code and I tried this:package
{public class MyCanvas2 extends Canvas{[Bindable]public var
fill:IFill;// Constructor public function MyCanvas2() {super();
} // Override updateDisplayList() to update the component
// based on the style setting.override protected
functionupdateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void
{super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
var rect: RoundedRectangle = new
RoundedRectangle(0,0,unscaledWidth,
unscaledHeight,Number(getStyle("cornerRadius")));if
(fill) {graphics.clear(); fill.begin(graphics,
rect);fill.end(graphics);graphics.drawRoundRect(rect.left,
rect.top,
rect.width,rect.height,rect.cornerRadius);But
it's not working. Nothing is drawn. I guess I'm missing somemethod that
needs override.Thanks,Cristian Pop--- In [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com,

Subject: [flexcoders] LinearGradient outside charts
Hi, some time ago I've played a bit with creating
components in AS and I've extended the canvas to allow gradient using
fillColors. Back then I did not implement more than 2 colors.
In the meantime I've noticed the LinearGradient class and I thought that
I could use it to pass easier the parameters required by a gradient.
angle, fill colors, alphas and ratios. So I've triend to extend
the Canvas adding a fill property (IFill) and then in updateDisplayList
to use the begin method of the Linear Gradient to fill the graphics of
the Canvas. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but it's not
working. If anyone knows how LinearGradient works and it can be used
outside the scope shown in the documentation please let me know.
I will try to post the code later. Thanks,

RE: [flexcoders] Embedding fonts at runtime
Title: Re: [flexcoders] Embedding fonts at runtime
One addition to this, which is that we always include the
space character when you specify the unicode range. I'm not sure the
original reasoning for this, but I just noticed it in the code. Also, you

RE: [flexcoders] output directive broken for absolute paths using compc
Hi Michael, I don't see any way around this at the moment. I assumed I
could do the following to get a path relative to the Flex install:
output
${flexlib}/bar/out.swc
/output
But I tried this, and the flexlib environement variable is being parsed
twice, which creates a bad path. I'll enter a bug on all of this.

Subject: [flexcoders] output directive broken for absolute
paths using compc
Hello,
A minor but frustrating oddity:
I have been tinkering around with compilation configuration
files and
this question is related to 'compc' and its configuration file.
Does anyone know why compc doesn't take absolute paths inside the
output directive?
If I run compc from ~/foo, this configuration
output
/bar/out.swc
/output
places the output at ~/foo/bar/out.swc, which is not the expected /
bar/out.swc.
This is a problem because the output file will always created in a
directory relative to the directory from which compc is run. This
makes portability a headache and means building custom scripts to
ensure that either compc is run from the same place every time, or
the output file is moved post compilation from a directory.
Any known fixes or am I missing a vital configuration directive
elsewhere?
Regards,

RE: [flexcoders] Re: ASDoc now available on Labs
I have an idea on the issue. When you use doc-sources, the compiler doesn't have a base directory reference to determine the the package names of MXML files. So a/MyMXML.mxml and b/MyMXML.mxml look like the same class name. Perhaps this also happens with AS names, I'm not sure, which would explain it. I'll be looking into this more the next release, especially now that I have an idea of where to look and how to fix it. Your workaround brings up a good thing to mention, something that I didn't emphasize in the examples or the documentation. You only have to point to the main MXML class that you would compile in order to document all of the AS and MXML classes in that application. This idea is mentioned on the Using ASDoc page, but it's a bit hidden. It's in the Excluded Classes section: Unless exclude-dependencies is set to true, classes that are found when compiling the given classes are also documented. In other words, any classes that would normally be compiled are documented. For instance, say that class A is specified in doc-classes. If class A imports class B, then both A and B are documented. Class B must also not be in the exclude-classes list and must not be found in a SWC in order to be documented. -Brian -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of james_dhap Sent: Friday, August 18, 2006 2:24 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: ASDoc now available on Labs I was seeing the same problem and I think I found a workaround and the possible cause of this problem. In my application we are using the code behind methodology and at the same time we have the typical com package stucture. Here is the general layout of our project: com/site/project -- API views/code -- AS files that extend Canvas (code behind) views/layout -- MXML files that implement the extended classes app.mxmml now, when I use ASDoc and set the doc-locations to the root app folder I get the circular reference error that everyone is seeing. But, if I just point to the folder com.site.project, views.code, or views.layout it compiles fine. If I add more then one directory it blows up again. It seems that the cause is that I have MXML files that reference AS files that reference com and extend the base MX classes (but no circular ref). I haven't narrowed it down farther yet, but I hope this gets you in the right direction. On the workaround side, I found if I just point to the root app mxml file as my doc-location then all is well and I get the full docs.

RE: [flexcoders] ASDoc is now available for download
Hi Tom, I wasn't very happy releasing the code this way either. Releasing code for only two OSs causes my Java side to twitch. But there's some reasons behind this, and I'll try to explain what I can. ASDoc has a long history in at Macromedia/Adobe, as you probably know from the number of times we've released API documentation. I'm the lastest person to pick up it's helm, but there's a long line of people who put a lot more effort than I did into it. We had a joke for awhile that anybody working on the compiler team was required to work on ASDoc at least once. All these changes were made over time not for external consumption but for our internal needs. At some point, we got some executable code mixed in there. I can't really share the specifics of this... but let me say it's a big chunk of code that isn't easily switched to Linux. And there's a lot of it. And it contains code that from other products, where we can't quickly make the decision to release this in the open. So now we're stuck in the current situation.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 Garbage Collection (based on AS3 changes)
Setting it to null (along with removing any other references to the class) is the answer. The variable is removed when it is out of scope: so if you define the variable in a function, it is removed when the function ends. If it's a class-level variable and you still have the class around, there's simply no way to get rid of the variable reference, which is a small amount of memory anyways. -Brian -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of lostinrecursion Sent: Monday, August 14, 2006 12:45 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Flex 2 Garbage Collection (based on AS3 changes) Hi all, I used garbage collection methods a lot in my prior RIAs to keep the application running smooth as it progressed.

You can reference a namespace object if you put this in a file:

import mypackage.DoSearch in each class where you want to use it, and

Bumping this up in the hopes that someone (possibly from Adobe?) can
offer an alternative, or at least an explanation of why this is the
case. As it stands now, I will have to have these lines:
namespace foo = http://site.com/BackOffice/DoSearch;;
use namespace foo;
sprinkled throughout my app, which sucks. Why can't use namespace
point to an actual Namepsace object? I feel like this is a glaring
hole in Flex's XML capabilities.
Thanks,
Ben
It seems that the only way to use the full functionality of E4X with
namespaced XML is by using this method:
namespace foo = http://site.com/BackOffice/DoSearch;;
use namespace foo;
Unfortunately, that method must be constructed exactly like
that- with
a static string. You cannot even point it to a constant like
MyAppClass.SEARCH_NAMESPACE, which is fairly disappointing.
I suppose
the namespaces your app uses aren't something that will change very
often but it still seems like this is a shortcoming of the
implementation of E4X. I feel like I am being punished for using XML
that contains namespaces, as it is so crippled in comparison to
namespace-free XML.
Adobe, can you fix this in a future release?
Thanks,
Ben

Subject: [flexcoders] Binding in Flex 2
Hi All,
I'm sure this is going to be one of those questions that you regret
asking as soon as it leaves your mouth, because it seems so simple.
I'm having an issue binding 2 levels deep. Something that does work
in Flex 1.5 doesn't work in Flex 2. Below are 3 files for an
example...
The value of labelText shows up properly in Child1.mxml, but does
not bind into Child2.mxml properly. I have tried using
getters/setters with a Change event and Bindable property
attached to
them with no luck.
//MainApp.mxml -- passing initial value of labelText to first child
mx:Application
xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml; xmlns=*
Child1 labelText=My Text /
/mx:Application
//Child1.mxml -- labelText binds properly
mx:HBox xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml; xmlns=*
mx:Label text=my text first = {String(labelText)} /
Child2 labelText={String(labelText)} /
mx:Script
![CDATA[
public var labelText:String;
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:HBox
//Child2.mxml -- labelText does not bind proplery
mx:HBox xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml; xmlns=*
mx:Label text=my text second = {String(labelText)} /
mx:Script
![CDATA[
public var labelText:String;
]]
/mx:Script
/mx:HBox
Thanks in advance for the help,
Brendan

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Using compc to make SWC from AS
You can call compc from Java (or using the Java task in Ant) via
flex.compiler.swc.CompCompiler. This is very similar to how people
use mxmlc with Java/Ant, where you use flex.tools.Mxmlc. -Brian

compc GUI
Flash with Zinc would be a good use for making a GUI for the command
line. If its all local you could do Flex to PHP/ColdFusion which then
calls the command line, but this is not as portable.
Depending on your purpose you could setup a external tool in eclipse
that makes the call also, probably a little more work then you want to
get it to handle all the parameters you are using nicely.
Plenty of possibilities, hehe

It keeps bitching there isnt' a C:\Documents , and I think I

RE: [flexcoders] Yahoo Maps built with Flex!
The Flex API for Yahoo Maps does not require Shockwave. The pure-Flash, nothing-Shockwave-in-it SWC format is named SWC for historical reasons (ie, we never changed it to something that makes more sense). Yahoo gives the full name, ShockWave(r) Control, in one place that I noticed. Hopefully they can change this to just say SWC. -Brian -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Thompson Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 9:08 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Yahoo Maps built with Flex!

RE: [flexcoders] Problem accessing RemoteObjects
The "Creating Service" message you see is from the client side, so it is a little misleading in that it makes it look like RemoteObject already found things, but it isn't an indication of how things are happening on the server side. The error message you are getting says that the class could not be found or could not be loaded on the server side. Can you try to load the class in a JSP page or a servlet, just to be really sure that it works? Do you have a no-argument constructor? What classes are you importing within com.obc.User?

RE: [flexcoders] namespace/directory structure issue
I think what Matt was saying is having the components directory a level deeper and then referencing this directory in actionscript-classpath in flex-config.xml. You should be able to create references to components in any directory you put in actionscript-classpath in the same manner that you reference components in a subdirectory of the main application. I don't think you necessarily need to move the components directory though- I think it would also work to just put the main directory in actionscript-classpath. -Brian -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jaime Bermudez Sent: Sunday, July 31, 2005 11:17 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] namespace/directory structure issue Ok, so I think what you're suggesting is to restructure to something like the following: main as components UI test test1 components comp1 test2 components comp2 If so, that kind of ruins my approach of dynamically adding components to a Container in each testXmxml. I wanted to follow the approach of having each test1...testN directory define a Components.as file that lists the component references from the components directory that will be added to the Container - that way I could share an appTest.as file across each testXmxml declaration. In any case, there is still the question of code changes and check-ins. How would I keep comp1, for example, in synch w/ comp1 in the main branch? Is there a way to make the components directories under each testN directory a pointer to the main components directory?

Because of the size of the app, I created the test directory above, which I hope will contain subdirectories of test applications to make development compilation quicker (i.e. app.mxml may have 20 components from the components directory, but test1.mxml will have just 1). The reason I created a test directory is so that it can be easily excluded from a production build. Anyway, in each testX.mxml file, I need to be able to refer to components in the components directory in an Application tag. Is there an easy way I can do this w/o having to make SWC files? Note that the components directory is often updated, so having to compile a SWC is not ideal.

Hi Ahmed, I'm sure there's people on the list who could contact you with consulting services. Glad to see you're getting somewhere, but you're going to be disappointed again by people's response here. See section 5 in the FAQ: 5. Guidelines to effective question-asking Include a useful subject; this will help people find their own questions and answers later. Explain what you are trying to accomplish. Explain the error (include compilation errors or a description of the runtime behavior). Be prepared to break your problem down into a simpler scenario in case someone wants to try to debug the code themselves. Remember, private web services are inaccessible; you may need to create some dummy data to emulate problems. Phrases to avoid: "URGENT" (we all have deadlines, no one is intentionally delaying a response to you) "Please send code" (this is very frustrating to read as it implies you aren't interested in learning anything on your own. Where code is appropriate you can expect someone to provide it, but in many cases you will learn more by doing it on your own with appropriate guidance.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex on Oracle App Server Issues
Oracle 10g is supported and there are no major problems that I know about. There's two open issues that I know of or can find, both just having to deal with the sample applications. These aren't really general Flex issues with Oracle and only show up with how we are doing things in some sample applications: 1. Bug 89489, WSDL load error with sample app. Here's the associated release notes in the bug that I assume were already released somewhere: Oracle 9.0.4 will give Could not load WSDL errors when running most samples. This is due to an issue with Axis and Oracle's XML parsing library. This issue will not cause problems outside of samples.war. There are two ways to work around this issue: 1. Use Oracle 9.0.3 2. Take the xmlparserv2.jar from 9.0.3 and use it in 9.0.4. This jar can be found in the root lib directory of 9.0.3. The jar should then be placed in either the root lib directory of 9.0.4. 2. Bug 105331, classloader issue with sample app. Here's the associated release notes in the bug that I assume were already released somewhere: Currently, the FlexStore sample application will not run out of the box on Oracle 10g. If you try to call the FlexStore sample application from a web browser, the FlexStore app will start loading and then you will get an alert dialog that says java.lang.NullPointerException. If you look in the server console log, you will also see an error that says java.net.MalformedURLException. This is due to a problem with one of the web services used by the sample application. To workaround this problem, you need to modify the source to the web service and then recompile it. Underneath the flex samples web application, open the file WEB-INF\classes\samples\contacts\Contacts.java. Change the line in the getDocument() method that says doc = builder.parse(fileURL.getFile()); to doc = builder.parse(new File(fileURL.getFile())); You then need to recompile the web service by running javac samples\flexstore\Catalog.java from the WEB-INF\classes directory and restart the appserver. The reason for this change is because calling Classloader.getResource() on Oracle 10g returns a URL with a leading / and the URL needs to be normalized before passing it to the parser. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jeeflex Sent: Saturday, July 30, 2005 4:14 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Flex on Oracle App Server Issues Hi All, This is my first post on flexcoders.

The problems is that when an array is inside an object, the objects inside it are typed as anyType and can't be deserialized on the server. I'll explain: If I have a class called Class1 and a container of it Cont and I do var myObj:Cont = new Cont; var myArr:Array = new Array(); var myCls1:Class1 = new Class1; var myCls2:Class1 = new Class1; myArr.push(myCls1); myArr.push(myCls2); myObj.arr = myArr; myWS.myMethod(myObj,myArr).send(); as you can see I set the array in an object, an then I sent it in the object and all by itself. If I look at what flex is sending I see: --- arg1 xmlns:ns2=someNamespace xsi:type=ns2:myObj arr xmlns:ns9=http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema; xmlns:soapenc=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/; soapenc:arrayType=ns9:anyType[2] xsi:type=soapenc:Array item xsi:type=ns9:anyType /item item xsi:type=ns9:anyType /item /arr /arg1 arg2 xmlns:ns14=someNamespace xmlns:soapenc=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/; soapenc:arrayType=ns14:Class1[2] xsi:type=soapenc:Array item xsi:type=ns14:Class1 /item item xsi:type=ns14:Class1 /item /arg2 --- So when the array is sent inside another object then the objects in the array are typed as anyType but when the array is sent as an argument then the object inside it are typed correctly (as Class1 in this case).

I can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to look at
this
issue. Thank you so much!
I guess it is reassuring that it works for you. At least it is doable.
Unfortunately, I still don't have a clue why it doesn't work for me...
Here are the differences I can think of:
1) I am using Weblogic and not JRun.
2) I deploy as 2 separate web applications: one containing the Flex
client
('sampling') and one containing the web services ('sampling-ws'). The
Flex
client is deployed exploded, while the web services are deployed as a
.war
file.
3) I am using Axis 1.2.1.
4) My Java code is structured into packages.
5) I have ActionScript objects like Foo.as and Bar.as. However, on your
recommendation, I tried removing these, with the same results.
6) Is it possible it is an issue with the version of Flash Player?
Doubful,
I think... since I tried downloading the latest version of the player,
but
seem to have the same results.
Does anything jump out at you? Any suggestions how to proceed in
debugging
this?
Thanks again.
-Tim.
BTW, does this list accept largish attachments? I would love to send
out my
'sampling-ws.war'. Since this includes all the Axis stuff plus my web
service, it would reduce a few of the variables in this process...

OK, I just ran this code and got it to work. I'm thinking that maybe
the problem is the compiler trying to coerce those classes into your
typed objects. WebServices actually don't convert to type objects
regardless of your registerClass. Instead everything is a dumb object.
I ran this code against my default JRun install (so I don't guarantee
what the Axis version is)
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml;
xmlns:dom=*
mx:WebService id=service
wsdl=http://localhost:8100/services/FooService?wsdl;
showBusyCursor=true
mx:operation name=getFoo
result=model = event.result/
mx:operation name=saveFoo
result=mx.controls.Alert.show('result='+event.result)/
/mx:WebService
mx:Script
![CDATA[
var model: Object;
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Button label=Get Foo click=service.getFoo()/
mx:Button label=Save Foo click=service.saveFoo(model)/
/mx:Application
I didn't package up the Java classes either (so they just sit in
WEB-INF/classes) and my server-config.wsdd looks like this:
service name=FooService provider=java:RPC
parameter name=methodName value=*/
parameter name=className value=FooService/
beanMapping languageSpecificType=java:Foo qname=ns1:Foo
xmlns:ns1=http://www.macromedia.com/samples/
beanMapping languageSpecificType=java:Bar qname=ns2:Bar
xmlns:ns2=http://www.macromedia.com/samples/
/service
So I think the answer is it can be done, something must be messed up
though that's causing Flex to not know what's going on. Make sure your
Axis server-config.wsdd has the proper beanMappings and then try using
just a plain Object instead of a typed class on the AS side and let's
see how things go.

RE: [flexcoders] Java intefaces as remote objects?
Hi Clint, you can't use interfaces as the name of thesource in RemoteObject, since we do a Class.forName() call for the name. It's really not possible for such a thing to ever work,since something needs to be instantiated for the RemoteObject. You should be able to use a class that implements an interface, though. -Brian From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clint ModienSent: Thursday, June 16, 2005 10:09 AMTo: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: [flexcoders] Java intefaces as remote objects?

RE: [flexcoders] Endpoint URL of proxied named WebServices visible in HTTP POST request
Hi Dirk, When sending the request for the WSDL, you are right, the service name and the target are not needed- we will actually never use the target in that case, and you should be able to see that by putting garbage in the target URL. I'm not sure why things are how they are, but it looks to just be an oversight. After we get the WSDL, however, when sending a request to the service itself, we often do need both the service name and the target since we allow wildcard and multiple matches to the service endpoint. -Brian -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Eismann Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2005 4:24 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Endpoint URL of proxied named WebServices visible in HTTP POST request ...and mbs5WebService refers to the named WebService of course - still I wonder why there's the need to pass the URL in the target parameter.

If you are using custom components and this only occurs when recompiling, then try setting cache-swos in flex-config.xml to false.

I don't know of any current problems like this for 1.5, but its something to try.

Can you try to regenerate the SWC component or have the person who created it do this? It seems there is some basic problem with the component (as this error only occurs when there is an IOException). Another thing you can do is to set -Dtrace.error in the JVM configuration for your appserver (on JRun, this is in bin/jvm.config).

I'm not sure how to help you debug it, but I can suggest a setting to change: max-connections. This is located in flex-config.xml in two places, and I would change both of them. Try setting to 0, which will turn off pooling and slow down your proxy requests but which will cause the code to not wait in the section shown below. You could also try setting it to a value much higher than the default of 50, but suspect that won't fix the problem. -Brian From: Ronald Kinion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 11:00 PMTo: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: [flexcoders] Debugging Flex Proxy Every now and then on our production boxes we have a problem where the application starts taking longer and longer to respond and all the threads get used up on our servers (using jboss 3.2.3).

RE: [flexcoders] Jaas with Flex
Thanks Steven. I also of course recommend reading that excellent overview.
:) Also, here's my response from an internal question about JAAS:
JAAS is at a deeper level in the J2EE appserver than what Flex works with.
We have no specific hooks into JAAS and this is a very appserver and
setup-specific piece. We can usually integrate with JAAS with a little
legwork, but it depends on how JAAS works on their appserver.
If they can integrate JAAS with the resource-constraints in web.xml, then we
will automatically integrate with JAAS on their appserver. See the security
examples for how we hook into resource-constraints.
If they only are using RemoteObject for the authentication piece, then can
write their own LoginCommand that works with their JAAS setup. See the
{flex}/examples/security/LoginCommand for an example of this.
